If you're a man, you should drive a Zagu and fight a Gundam!
This was once a popular saying among Gundam enthusiasts. The meaning behind it was that a real man had to be brave enough to face a bleak life. Even if your opponent's mecha was two generations ahead of yours and had several times more power, you shouldn't hesitate.
So what if the opponent's weapon was advanced? Their operating skills could make up for it.
A true warrior would dare to use a Type 59 to go down the mountain against a Karl heavy cannon. A true hunter would dare to use the Mole Bull Style. A true Zither Demon would dare to use a BT42 to 1v3 Super Pershing … Fine, the last one was too much of a cheat. You shouldn't try it before you're sure of your fate as a main character.
What? Your opponent's mecha piloting skills are better than yours? Don't be afraid. Actual combat experience and psychological factors are also important. No matter how good one's theory is, there are many who can't perform in actual combat.
As a weakling, as long as your mentality is stable and you look for opportunities, you can win even in defeat!
Um, they have more actual combat experience than you? As a warrior, their mentality is also more mature than yours. They won't underestimate their opponent …
In that case, you should have considered writing your will earlier.
If you're behind in all aspects, you should just lie flat on the ground. Don't expect the main character in legends to explosively defeat the strong. In reality, if you're behind in all aspects, you'll only be beaten up.
"You think you can counterattack just by casually shouting a few words and recalling the past? Do you really think that other people's hard work and accumulation are nothing more than a breeze? Overly excited emotions will only lead to openings. Only a stable and calm mentality is the path to victory. "
And right now, Rorschach was facing his first battle as well … rookie mecha pilot against experienced mecha pilot. An ordinary transfer student from Earth against an Aishi mage. One side was able to provide bonuses to the mecha, while the other side couldn't even provide power. No matter how he thought about it, he had no chance of winning.
The students' one-sided decision might be quite heartbreaking, but it was also reasonable. Nobody would feel bad about their money.
However, some people couldn't be distinguished by common sense. That was because he shamelessly cheated …
This wasn't just an adjective. What he used was a real cheat.
"Action editor? What's that? "
"It's a plug-in program that combines all the individual actions together. Pressing a button will activate a combo. Although it's equally inflexible and useless against experts, it's fast and inflexible, so there's no pressure in beating up newbies. You can say that it's a cheat program for beating newbies. "
In the fighting games on Earth, motion editing systems were very common. They could even be considered as external cheats. Many controllers and keyboard peripherals even had specialized integration functions.
"Right Heavy Punch, Left Hook, Forward Charge, Big Jump, Leg Sweep, Leg Sweep, Leg Sweep, Leg Sweep … Press C to cancel. He's reacted, looks like he's already used to it. Then let's do another combo. I've already used the B combo, so let's do the C combo."
Although his movements were equally stiff, Rorschach's Silver Knight was able to execute skillful combos. There were no gaps between his movements, as if he was a veteran.
The motion editing system could greatly simplify the operation and seamlessly link the movements together. It allowed newbies to have the possibility of challenging veterans. For a long time, it was regarded as a shameless cheat in the gaming industry.
In online games, the existence of similar functional principles was also very common, and that was the various macro commands.
The powerhouses had simplified the complicated operations into a few buttons, allowing rookies and lazy people to use them easily.
The goal of its existence was to turn complicated operations into a one-button dummy and eliminate human error factors.
As for Rorschach, not only was he a veteran gamer, his previous part-time job was as a game writer. He was especially good at testing strategies for action games.
How could someone who could test a game and write their own strategies be a newbie?
Thus, with a simple motion editing system, he created seven or eight combo moves. After experimenting with the on-board AI, he was able to directly use them.
Perhaps this was meaningless to veterans, but Matt, who was also a student, couldn't be a veteran.
When both parties were newbies and were only slightly better than each other, their movements were smooth and skillful. This small advantage brought about by the cheat would be enough to overturn the difference in combat power.
"As expected, using a cheat to beat up a newbie manual player is awesome …"
The cockpit was now completely red. My alarms were so loud that they could kill. However, Roxia was smiling as he unhurriedly tapped on the keyboard.
The Silver Dragonfly Knight executed a combination of punches, looking like an experienced fighter.
His opponent, Matt, hurriedly operated the joystick and entered commands, but he was always one step behind.
Although Matt had previous piloting experience, he was operating a mecha from home, and the driving peripherals weren't cheap joysticks from the academy.
All these differences made Matt's piloting seem very unfamiliar. He needed time to get used to it, but his opponent wouldn't give him this time.
And so, the most inconceivable scene occurred. The freshman from Earth, who was piloting a magic armor for the first time, was actually able to suppress the class president, Matt.
The freshman magic armor was like an experienced driver, skillfully using long and short punches to beat up the class president.
* Slap! *
How could the class president, who had fought for his position with his own strength, lose here, to a freshman who had just entered the academy?
"Energy Explosion!"
Matt roared as his entire mecha glowed faintly, as if Holy Light had descended.
Rorschach's attacks still landed on his opponent, but he was unable to cause any direct damage. He couldn't even block Matt's attacks.
In gaming terms, he was unable to cause a direct hit, so he naturally couldn't continue his combo.
"… I can't break through his defense? Damn it, I hate the magical world the most. This is a mecha battle, but they can't compete in piloting. There's still so many unscientific things. "
Rorschach hurriedly jumped back and put some distance between them.
On the other hand, Matt didn't look very good in the cockpit.
He was panting heavily in the cockpit, his eyes bloodshot, and sweat had already seeped through his clothes.
As a professional knight, it was basic to use energy to strengthen the physical body, but using energy to strengthen the mecha wasn't something that a freshman should touch at all.
On the mecha's basic attributes list, the most important strength attribute of the knight type magic armor had been changed.
"Strength: 12 (mecha's basic attributes) + 4 (pilot's amplification, energy type: energy) + 11 (special energy explosion amplification)."
Under normal circumstances, the mecha's basic attributes were the least important due to the large amplification provided by the user of the magic armor.
However, freshmen couldn't provide an objective amplification, nor could they use the neural connection module, so the mecha's basic abilities were very important.
If one still couldn't see the effects of the pilot's explosive amplification, it would be obvious from Rorschach's list.
"Strength: 12 (mecha's basic attributes) + 0 (pilot's unable to provide energy)."
At this moment, it was 27 to 10. The difference in strength between the two was close to three times. As long as Rorschach was touched, he would be instantly killed.
Moreover, the target of the energy explosion amplification was the Constitution, which brought about a change in defense. The nearly two-fold difference in defense made Rorschach's attacks meaningless.
And so, Rorschach … broke into a run.
"Energy explosion or whatever, it definitely won't last long. It'll prolong the battle …"
Although he didn't know if the combat experience in fighting games was applicable, he didn't have any better ideas right now. He could only try everything he could.
But what he didn't know was that this response almost made Matt spit out blood on the spot.
He was a knight. Although he was the lowest grade of gray bronze, he was still a qualified professional. He couldn't be compared to Rorschach who didn't have a profession at all.
The knight class had high defense and thick skin. Their attacks weren't weak either. Although they were conventional, they were strong in actual combat.
Energy explosion could temporarily strengthen the physical body (mecha's body). It was easy to grasp and very practical. It was even praised as the most shameless low-level practical skill.
But knight classes always had a natural weakness — their legs were short.
High defense and high attack, but also high speed and high agility? Dream on.
Cough, correction. Balance was for the situation where everyone was a civilian player. Anything was possible if you charged money, but not charging money was still a dream.
Charging money … I meant specific skills and special accessories that could make up for the lack of mobility, such as a jetpack, high-speed pulleys, and so on. But how could the blank mecha provided by the school have them?
In both mecha's firepower modules, all the plug-ins and accessories were empty. In the end, it all depended on the pilot's ability, and it was a special ability.
And so, Matt's advantage turned into a disadvantage.
But he wasn't picky. Rookies knew this move.
There was a price to pay to maintain the Energy Explosion state. After it ended, there would be a period of weakness. What could Matt do when he saw Rorschach running away?
And so …
"Rorschach, you brat, stop right there! Are you a man or not? Stop right there, let's fight! "
"Catch up first, then we'll fight! No, I don't want a man to fight. "
Amidst the laughter of the onlookers, the duel turned into a race.
The similar performance of both mecha and Rorschach's increasingly skilled operation meant that this was destined to be a fruitless chase.
Half a minute later, when the silver light wrapped around Matt's mecha dissipated, his movements slowed down.
There was an extra price to pay for forcefully using Energy Explosion. As the price of overdraft, Matt was probably vomiting blood in the cockpit.
"Chance!"
Professional players wouldn't miss a flaw. The boss would most likely be weak after being magnified. Rorschach instantly turned his head.
After confirming that the other party wasn't in disguise, Rorschach's hands tapped the keyboard at high speed, and the shameless one-key macro was activated again.
A gorgeous combo directly sent Matt to the heavens.
In the end, when the silver light in Rorschach's eyes dissipated and the power of the battery pack was exhausted, Matt's knight armor was already lying on the ground.
"Winner, Rorschach!"
Rorschach had just opened the cockpit when he walked out. He had thought that his victory wouldn't be glorious and that he would be booed.
However, he was surprised to find that he was surrounded by his classmates. It was an enthusiastic reaction that he had never seen before.
"How did you do it? Matt is a real knight. "
"Why are your movements so smooth? Do you have a secret? "
"How did you activate the neural connection system? Are you an Archmage? "
This wasn't a peaceful Earth. In a dangerous world, the strong would always be respected, and victory was the simplest way to prove one's strength.
In the past, Rorschach hadn't shown any ability. Although he hadn't been targeted, he hadn't been taken seriously either.
After all, being last place sounded like a joke, but he was more or less looked down upon.
But now, he had defeated the class monitor, Matt, and proved that he could adapt to the environment here.
The things he had shown in battle were incomprehensible. He had defeated the strong as the weak, which was more attractive to the freshmen than the strong crushing the weak.
And so, he was instantly surrounded. Rorschach, who had experienced this for the first time, was surprised, but also felt that it was quite good.
This was especially so for his busy friend Su Nanna. She revealed a rare smile and even gave Rorschach a thumbs-up … because Rorschach had helped her make money!
Su Nanna was currently on a killing spree amidst a group of crying students …
"Wait, don't take my purse. Are you a barbarian or am I? Why are you so strong?"
"No, no, don't take my underwear, I'll take it out myself! It's only a few gold coins, is it worth it? You're a woman, a lady! "
"Don't talk nonsense. What's the point of being a lady? Do you have gold coins? Hand over the 20 times bet!"
