[Level 37 freshman Rorschach L. Heloise's identity has been confirmed. Welcome to the Silver Knight Support System. The operation interface has been switched to Earth's Chinese language. Detected that this is the freshman's first time piloting. Do you require a tutorial?]
The Dragonfly Knight armor was surprisingly comfortable. When he touched the silver crystal in the cockpit, some random letters popped up. Finally, the interface switched to Rorschach's native language.
"Yes."
At this time, Rorschach naturally wouldn't reject the help of a tutorial.
A human figure appeared in the scryer in mid-air. It was basically the same as the Dragonfly Knight Type 7, but the parts that pointed at the figure had more detailed instructions.
[Dragonfly Knight Type 7, light knight type magic armor. Total power output 37 Carvel. Power system consumption 21 Carvel. Remaining energy supply 16 Carvel. Regular weapon components 1 Obsidian Force Field Shield (offline), 1 Thunderbolt Explosive Sword (offline) …]
Just like how there were priests and holy knights in this world, there were also magic armors specially made for holy knights and priests.
However, such magic armors would often have special components. For example, a shield that stored holy light and a trunk that was filled with holy water.
If it was a ranger type long-range job, it would also be necessary to calculate distance and direction.
However, the magic armor in front of him was obviously a blank one without any equipment.
The Dragonfly Knight Type 7 was a magic armor specially made for light warriors. It was relatively cheap and easy to operate. Even a militia could use it after a short period of training … Alright, it was the simplest type of cannon fodder magic armor. It had no special characteristics and no special equipment. It just turned militia and infantry cannon fodder into cannon fodder wearing the magic armor.
Although Rorschach couldn't understand most of the instructions, he at least knew that this was a regular magic armor specially made for light warriors. However, those powerful sounding weapons weren't even equipped.
"Even if there's no external weapon, there should be a backup weapon. Is there an iron fist? Is it just a fist that can fly out? "
[There's no such design. Considering the fact that the arm components can't be recycled, this design is obviously too stupid.]
Rorschach was instantly speechless … What should he do if the system looked down on him? Waiting online, it's urgent.
"Are your eyes shooting lasers? Don't robots have eyes that emit electricity? "
[Without this design, if the sensor on the head is used to activate the wind element magic, it will be impossible to determine the direction of the electric current. The possibility of internal electrocution is very high. This design cannot be implemented. However, since the death rate of the drivers after the plan was implemented exceeded 90%, it could be submitted to the Silver Shield Magic Armor Design Company as a self-destruction plan. If it's accepted, you'll be rewarded. Do you need to file it?]
"No need, no need, I don't want to become the new joke of the year."
Rorschach asked about a few more "classic" designs, but unfortunately, the results were the same.
Shoot missiles from the chest? Even if there were things like missiles in this world, who would be stupid enough to place explosives near the cockpit on the chest of the magic armor?
Transform? There were indeed high-level special-purpose magic armors and transformational druid armors, but the only transformational transformation of the cannon fodder armors was that they would automatically disintegrate into spare parts.
Jet acceleration component? The reason was the same as the previous one. Even if there was one, it wouldn't be something that light knights would be equipped with. You're just cannon fodder, do you think you can fly?
"… Why is there nothing at all? Can't you only use your fists to fight? As a mecha, can't you shoot something at me? "
[This system has a pilot ejecting system that can eject the driver at high speed. Do you need to activate it?]
Alright, I finally had a classic design. A spring seat that could eject me. Perhaps I could even scare the opponent … But what's the point of ejecting me!?
[Please select the operation mode. The user's spiritual power has reached the required level. Activating mode 1.]
[Neural Link operation mode. Synchronize the user's senses with the armor to control the armor. Testing will now begin. Please stop if you feel uncomfortable.]
Before I could even ask, my vision went dark. When I opened my eyes again, I saw that I was in a hangar.
"… Is this me?"
I reached out my hand, only to see that it was a silver metal arm.
The spectators all exclaimed in surprise when they saw the mecha move so quickly.
But the next second, an alarm sounded in my ears, and my vision was then ejected.
[No magic reaction detected. The driver is unable to provide energy … Switching to energy-saving mode. Neural Link operation system offline. Activating vehicle backup energy.]
[Activating backup Olivia's Magic Box 1 to 10 battery packs. Estimated operation time: 32 minutes and 12 seconds. Combat time: 5 minutes and 23 seconds. Driver, please cherish your combat time.]
I only had a second of fun before I was ejected from my first-person view.
The constantly flashing red lights in the cockpit indicated that Rorschach couldn't even provide energy for the dragonfly knight's armor.
Magic armor wasn't a machine that burned oil. The user's magic power, aura, and other supernatural powers were what powered the magic armor.
The current Rorschach was basically a complete novice when it came to magic.
"… Is there such a huge difference between us?"
Rorschach's cockpit glowed red as soon as he entered the cockpit. He couldn't help but recall that salted egg Superman who could only transform for three minutes.
However, Rorschach didn't know that the moment he activated the mental link, the dragonfly knight's eyes overflowed with a dazzling silver light.
At that moment, all the students went into an uproar. The teachers were even more shocked and in disbelief.
"His new spiritual power is actually able to activate the neural link … It's a good thing that he turned off the neural link. Otherwise, I would have had no choice but to stop this competition."
From the teacher's perspective, it was a good thing that Rorschach had been kicked out of this state. Although sensory sharing was indeed quite convenient for driving, countless drivers died every year because of this "convenience."
After sensory sharing, the driver and the armor would become one.
The armor's chest would be shattered, and the driver would feel as if his internal organs were being cooked. The armor's head would be blown off, and many drivers would die on the spot. This was simply because the drivers "believed" that they were already dead.
Perhaps veteran drivers could train their souls and bodies to recognize this type of pain so that they wouldn't die for real. However, it was impossible for new students to do this.
Still, normal new students wouldn't have this problem either. It was impossible for them to do this.
Sending one's soul into a mechanical body was somewhat similar to God's Descent. Even with the assistance of equipment, the requirements for the descender's spiritual power would be quite high.
It was also unlikely that a new student's (soul) spiritual power would be able to activate the neural link system. Even if a new student's spiritual power reached the required level, it would usually take more than three years of specialized training … or perhaps a high-level job class such as an archmage, great swordsman, or great warlock.
[Mode 2: Traditional manual operation. Please select a manual operation system.]
Rorschach's vision flashed by various driving systems. There was a steering wheel, a control stick, and even a hand-cranked tractor.
Although there were many choices, Rorschach didn't know any of them, so he didn't know which one to choose.
"… Do you have a keyboard and mouse?"
Rorschach covered his face as he called out the only tool he knew how to use in despair.
* Click. *
The sudden appearance of a silver keyboard and mouse made Rorschach even more unable to close his mouth.
Judging from the Hello Kitty stickers and old marks on the keyboard, Rorschach definitely wasn't the first person to use a keyboard and mouse to operate a "Gundam," nor would he be the last.
He directly used the driving mode of the previous user and tried to move the mouse. The eyes of the dragonfly knight flashed with silver light, and in the next moment, it began to move.
The dragonfly knight stood up and swung his fist, causing the audience to gasp in surprise. However, Rorschach furrowed his eyebrows.
"It's too rigid. This can't be used in actual combat at all. The previous mode was much better."
Punch with the right button, kick with the left button, and control the direction with the keyboard. It was ridiculously simple, but Rorschach kept shaking his head.
The fixed program made his fist follow a fixed path. His attack method could be easily predicted, so there was no way he could hit his opponent.
Even more fatal was that every command was followed by an action, and there was even a delay in the action. He was just like a slow-moving gorilla. If his opponent had been able to use the free mode just now, he would have been beaten to a pulp.
Obviously, the keyboard and mouse, which were great for playing games, weren't suitable for driving a magic armor. Perhaps the previous user was just a newbie.
"… Wait a moment. Game. Right, fighting games have fixed combat movements as well. Perhaps …"
Rorschach's spirits were lifted as he thought of this. His hands flew across the keyboard as lines of code flashed before his eyes.
"That's feasible!"
He suddenly hit the enter button, and the lights in the cockpit lit up. The half-crouching Silver Knight was ready for battle.
His opponent, on the other hand, was already prepared.
"Bet on it, bet on it. If Rorschach can last for 30 seconds, the odds are 1: 3. If he can last for 60 seconds, the odds are 1: 5 …"
Judging from the surrounding bets, and how even the teachers were silently betting on one minute, nobody thought that Rorschach could win.
Actually, this was quite easy to understand. After all, Rorschach's magic armor's emergency warning light kept flashing.
"The class monitor already has one and a half years of experience driving a magic armor. Rorschach is a pure newbie from Earth. He hasn't even touched a magic armor for a single day. How can the class monitor lose? Tell me, how can he lose!"
"He can't even supply the magic armor with energy. How can he use the magic armor to fight?"
Yes, in the eyes of the spectators, it was impossible for Rorschach to win.
Only Su Nanna, who was also from Earth, silently placed her gold coins on the other side of the table.
"If Rorschach wins, what are the odds?"
"Haha, Su Nanna, class monitor Matt has 30 hours of experience driving a magic armor, and he's even a Gray Bronze Knight. He has no problem supplying magic armor with less than 50 carvells. Don't support Rorschach just because we're from the same hometown. If he wins, not only will I pay you back ten times over, I'll even go eat … I'll go."
The moment they exchanged blows, there was a huge explosion.
