Chapter 904 - 903: Armguard
The class leader took the lead and stood up, "Hello, teacher."
"Hello, students, please sit down."
Shi Qingsong nodded while standing on the podium, gesturing for the students to sit down, and handed out a stack of informational flyers to the front row of each seat, "The holiday after this year's final exams is quite special.
The Special Affairs Bureau has planned an activity similar to a summer camp where students can voluntarily sign up to experience temporary extraordinary powers,
or intern at a Special Affairs Bureau base as interns.
All of the above activities are voluntary, so everyone should first take a look at the specific details of the activities..."
The pamphlet was passed backward, and Li Ang took it with great interest, finding it was a full-color booklet made of good quality paper, which contained promotional material from the Special Affairs Bureau.
"They're all clerical jobs, aimed at high school and university students, with more emphasis on experience than actual significance."
Li Ang mused, "But this so-called 'experience class' is rather intriguing,
apparently, the Special Affairs Bureau has developed an extraordinary power system similar to exoskeleton equipment that can be used by ordinary people, and can be revoked at any time?"
"To help everyone better understand, during the seven days until the formal end of this semester, each year will participate in an experience course, starting with our class today."
Shi Qingsong looked towards the door, and a man and a woman walked in from outside, both wearing Special Affairs Bureau uniforms.
They're not familiar faces.
Well, actually, Li Ang didn't know many members of the Special Affairs Bureau,
and Xing Hechou, Bai Haozheng, and the others probably have quite high ranks within the bureau by now and don't have the time to teach ordinary high school students.
The two Special Affairs Bureau members began with a smile, explaining the work of interns at the bureau base, advising everyone that if interested, they should first discuss it with their parents,
then call the number on the pamphlet with their parents, or directly go to the Special Affairs Bureau base to participate in registration.
After explaining, the two members, along with four other colleagues, led the three classes of eleventh grade from the experimental high school to the training area.
Previously, the revised physical education classes (or high-intensity military training) were held on the playground,
but over time, with the Special Affairs Bureau's resources and manpower in place,
a piece of vacant land behind the experimental high school was quickly developed into a gym-like training center,
which can accommodate driving, off-roading, firearm shooting courses,
and reportedly will introduce virtual reality technology in the future.
In this regard, the experimental high school has an advantage over those private schools with more funding—after all, it's public, and it has been performing well in recent years.
The students from the three classes, having changed into their training suits, stood together in formation somewhat nervously,
while Li Ang listened to his classmates' whispered conversations, his expression particularly composed.
The training center is divided into two zones, educational and military training areas,
with the former consisting of several large classrooms,
and the latter including fully realistic training environments such as shooting ranges, target ranges, coaching fields, vehicle tracks, and cold weapon fighting arenas.
Li Ang and the others had visited more than once or twice, driving armored vehicles, shooting targets, and engaging in numerous simulated military combat training,
divided into two or multiple groups using paintball guns, competing in simulation-created desert, urban, and forest complex terrains,
the whole process recorded for playback to identify issues post-match.
It's considered a high-end version of live-action CS (the Special Affairs Bureau doesn't skimp on funds, providing students with military-grade high-end night vision goggles and Bulletproof Vests. With students' physiques from long-term energy drink consumption, they can wear this equipment effortlessly.)
However, today seems somewhat different.
The targets in the shooting range and target grounds were all cleared,
creating a wide sandy area,
with five armored vehicles bearing the Bureau's emblem parked beside it, no guns or cold weapon racks on the ground, but several large silver rectangular secure boxes.
Step step step.
The instructor who oversaw the experimental high school's physical training before, stepping in heavy boots, walked over.
The whispered conversations ceased instantly, all students held their breath, standing in standard attention, looking forward.
With previous military training as the foundation, the instructor didn't say much, simply instructed everyone not to be nervous, and treat today as an ordinary physical education class.
Having spoken, the instructor asked a colleague to open a secure box and take out a stack of clothes compressed into a disc shape,
which were the Special Affairs Bureau combat uniforms Li Ang had seen during the previous turf battle.
These combat uniforms are light and agile, akin to thermal cotton undershirts, tightly fit, providing decent physical and energy defensive power (though nowhere near the Mirage Dragon Red Mane Coat),
each has a zipper at the back and are available in different sizes such as 160, 170, 180, 190 cm,
because they are elastic, they automatically expand and contract to fit well over training suits.
Once everyone had put on the combat uniforms,
the instructor had his colleague unlock several other boxes, revealing...a set of bracers?
This kind of bracer is shaped similar to medieval armor's forearm guards, combined with the Dueling Disk from Yu-gi-oh,
all for the right hand, colored black and gold alternating, with movable finger joint metal gloves, and a triangular groove on the back of the gloves,
seven inclined slots resembling dragon scales on the forearm's back,
perfectly blending classical and sci-fi styles, visually impressive and appealing.
For demonstration, the instructor picked up a bracer, slid his palm into the metal glove, and clenched his fingers.
The bracer immediately tightened actively, automatically closing the three-part gauntlet and securing it,
a circle of light blue luminescence appeared on the elbow's metal plate, gradually extending upwards to the fingertips.
Following the instructor's explanation, everyone understood how to use this equipment.
This set of bracers, named [Bi'an Armor], is a new generation product developed by the Special Affairs Bureau's equipment department,
during use, it requires loading of Energy Crystal into the groove on the glove's back, providing Bi'an Armor with energy,
then place the Special Card into the inclined slot on the Bi'an Armor's forearm—akin to loading a bullet into a gun.
Different cards offer different functions,
such as firing medium-power Energy Bullets, summoning Gale, generating flames, or forming an Energy Shield on the surface, to name a few.
As long as you have quick hands, aligning the card loading speed,
you can perform brilliantly dazzling operations in a short amount of time.
"The only thing the user needs to do is use their spiritual power to control the energy direction."
Li Ang watched his classmates eagerly install the bracers, murmuring internally, "Why does this feel so familiar..."
