Chapter 58: Mid-term Test
The midterm exam arrived as scheduled.
Ayoi, wearing her school uniform, turned to Yuka and said, "Yuka, today Instructor Yonda didn’t ask us to change into our combat or cross-country uniforms. He’s not planning to make us do cross-country in skirts, is he?"
Yuka replied, "I don’t think so."
They arrived at the training ground where Yonda, hands behind his back, watched them with a smile. After counting everyone and ensuring all were present, he spoke, "Today, we’re going to do something different."
Everyone tensed up, listening as Yonda continued, "Up until now, we’ve been doing offline, real-world training. I know it’s been tough, so for the midterm, I’ve arranged a special simulation training for everyone! Head to the white classroom where you had your mecha operation classes. Once everyone is in the virtual training field, I’ll announce the rules for today’s exam."
On their way to the white classroom, Ayoi grumbled, "I doubt that he will let us pass the exam easily. He must be up to some trick."
Yuka nodded in agreement.
Though a virtual exam would indeed be easier, everyone looked cautious and serious as they entered the holographic pods.
"Remember to select the exam mode," reminded Instructor Yonda.
Yuka once again entered darkness, clicked on the exam mode, and found herself in a forest. Her virtual avatar was now in a black combat suit.
She pinched her arm and noted the pain was halved.
