Laura made a decision instantly, saying, "I know there's no such thing as a free lunch. What price must I pay if I want treatment?"
Having come from a military background, Laura had long witnessed the dark side of human nature, so she knew she would have to pay a heavy price to receive treatment.
Li Wei said, "Would you believe me if I said there was no cost?"
Laura shook her head.
Li Wei said, "I don't need you to pay any price, because treating your physical defect is just a piece of cake for me. The only cost is time and raw materials, and the raw materials for making medicine are very cheap."
Laura said, "The raw materials are cheap, but the technology involved is very expensive. I don't understand why you're helping me. What benefit do you get from this?"
Li Wei said, "There's no benefit to it. I just can't stand what happened to you. It's not just you; I sympathize with the other girls in the Black Rabbit Squad for what they've all gone through."
The Black Rabbit Unit is the android unit to which Laura belongs. Due to the rampant extreme feminism in Europe, the German government simply cannot command those new-era aristocratic women who control IS.
In order to establish an IS force that could be directly used by the state, the German state revived the advanced technology left behind by Hitler during the war, namely the artificial human technology that is now extremely difficult to reverse engineer.
This technology was originally intended to create "Captain Germany," but although the androids' physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people and their learning abilities were beyond imagination, unfortunately, by the time this technology matured, the Third Reich had already reached its end. Even the emergence of a batch of "supermen" could not reverse the decline of the Third Reich.
After the defeat of the Third Reich, this technology was kept secret by insightful individuals within Germany and remained undisclosed for decades after the war. Even when the United States set its sights on this technology, it was unable to seize it. The reason Germany is able to possess an ISIS force that is directly under the command of the state and is absolutely loyal is due to this artificial human technology and related supporting technologies.
Currently, Germany is the only country in the world capable of commanding IS forces. In other countries, almost every woman who can operate IS armor has been granted special privileges. If the government wants to command these noble units, it must promise them numerous benefits each time in order to get these young ladies to go on missions unwillingly. This is also the case in China. Patriots like Huang Lingyin are a very small minority.
Because feminism has been developing for a decade, women's social status has been rising, so elite military units like IS pilots occupy an even higher ceiling in the military system than the navy.
Unless the problem is addressed at its root, even if Li Wei rescues all the girls from the Black Rabbit Squad, the German side will still create new androids and induce them with hormones to ensure their loyalty.
Laura said, "It seems you know quite a lot. The Black Rabbit Unit, while not exactly top secret, is not something just anyone can know."
"Black Rabbit Unit" is an internal designation, and the name itself carries a dark humor quality. It is a term used by only a very small number of internal personnel. The full name of the Black Rabbit Unit is "German National Elite Tactical Rapid Reaction Mobile Unit," which is a very long and tedious name in German. Therefore, the Black Rabbit Unit is usually referred to as the "Rapid Reaction Unit."
Li Wei said, "I can understand the concerns of those powerful figures in Germany. After all, these days, the personal qualities of IS pilots are questionable, and there are far too many cases of them disobeying orders. An IS force that can be loyal to the country is very important to any country. However, while I understand, Germany's actions have crossed the line of what is right for humanity."
Laura said expressionlessly, "This is an old tradition in Germany. At least I have to thank them for giving me life and allowing me to see this world with my own eyes. Of course, I also hate them. If it weren't for the fact that I can always remain rational, I would have killed them all long ago. This feeling of being forced to be rational is extremely unpleasant."
Li Wei said, "You can't get the answer to this kind of thing right now because you're not whole. Once you've returned to normal, you'll have to make the decision yourself."
Germany has a history of inhumane treatment. Towards the end of the war, the Third Reich, unwilling to accept defeat, even formed so-called "Youth Divisions," sending children as young as ten or even under ten years old to the battlefield to die.
It can be said that Germany has a dark history since the First Reich. Even though Germany is now a federal state, it is still a mess and is no different from the three previous empires.
Laura nodded. Just as the two were talking, the results of the first match for the grade were in, and the support staff quickly entered the field after the match, using equipment to level the ground in preparation for the next match.
Chapter 4. Laura's Pride
The first match was not particularly close; in Li Wei's view, it was just a clash of weaklings, with both sides struggling for a long time before a winner was finally decided in a rather pathetic manner.
However, this is the reality of most grade-level competitions. Being able to become a class representative means that they are all promising talents, with individual abilities surpassing those of other students. However, there are differences between class representatives, and there is a huge gap in their abilities. In Li Wei's opinion, even if the two class representatives he had previously fought ganged up on Laura next to him, Laura would still be able to counterattack and kill them within ten seconds.
After the staff leveled the field, they stepped back off the field, and the participants of the next group of matches took to the field.
Li Wei and Laura are in the third group, and it won't be long before the two of them go out on the field to compete.
Laura crossed her arms and said in a cold tone, "Li Wei, I envy you. Your assistant class teacher is Chifuyu Orimura. Since you've investigated me, you must know who our instructor is, right?"
Li Wei said, "I know that a few years ago, Teacher Qian Dong went to Germany to work as an instructor for two years due to the power struggle between various forces. You were one of the students she taught."
Laura said, "I'll miss the instructors, because only they respect our personal wishes and let us know that we are still human beings. To be honest, these useless people in the academy are not worth the instructors' attention. There are very few people who are worthy of the instructors' guidance, and you are one of them."
Li Wei smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to think so highly of me. To be honest, I'm quite happy."
Laura said, "To be honest, IS armor is ultimately a weapon. Only a professional soldier with a firm will can wield such a steel steed. But what is the situation inside the academy? I only see pampered young ladies treating this weapon, which can easily kill people, as a fashion, something to show off. In my opinion, they are not qualified to be a qualified soldier."
Li Wei wanted to complain inwardly. Laura was much stricter than she had expected. She was a young girl, and unlike Laura, she hadn't undergone hormone-induced surgery. It was perfectly normal for her to have emotions and desires. After all, people aren't machines, and you can't expect them to be extremely strict.
Li Wei said, "That's just your current thought. Once you've recovered, you'll have a new perspective. However, it's true that many girls haven't handled the weapons they use properly. Weapons used for killing are not to be trifled with. On this point, I agree with your view."
It's not that Li Wei discriminated against women, but rather that women's physiology and psychology determine that they are more emotional than men and are not suitable as combat personnel who operate weapons. Ultimately, only a minority of women can become qualified soldiers.
Of course, during the War Alliance period of the Rakshasa Kingdom and the founding of the Chong Kingdom, women of that era truly held up half the sky. However, with the development of the times and the decline of thought, women today have become decadent, and fewer and fewer women are capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities.
The students at the academy are mostly individuals born in the new era. Growing up in a so-called "free" environment, their overall quality is just so-so. The academy is already selecting the best of a bad bunch, trying to choose individuals with reliable psychological qualities. Outside the academy, in ordinary high schools, the female bodies are a chaotic mess.
Compared to rational men, emotional women are really not suited to handling weapons. Li Wei recalled a silly video he had seen before. On the road, a female driver was driving under the guidance of her boyfriend. She probably hadn't had her driver's license for long, so her driving skills weren't very refined, and her reactions to sudden situations on the road were always slow.
When faced with a sudden situation requiring braking, the man in the passenger seat shouted, "Slam on the brakes! You're going to hit someone!"
The female driver in the video instantly lost her temper, shouting, "You yelled at me! You actually yelled at me!"
Although most people just watched the video as a joke and didn't take it seriously, the observant Li Wei noticed the details. Compared to men, women are far too emotional. The point of focus wasn't that she almost bumped into someone, but that her boyfriend yelled at her.
That's why Li Wei felt that what Laura said was indeed true. Even among the short, there was such a situation, let alone outside of the Chaotic Dance.
Laura said, "Being able to share this viewpoint shows that you also have the heart of a warrior. You are different from those trash; you are a worthy opponent."
Laura took a look at the match that had already started on the court. It was another match between two weak teams. Neither side had much skill, and they made a lot of unnecessary and ineffective moves. Moreover, their timing of their shots was terrible. Their overall strength was not even as good as the first group.
Laura said, "What an ugly fight. As expected, if you want to watch high-level matches, you have to watch the upperclassmen. But at least, it has to be the undergraduate upperclassmen."
Li Wei understood Laura's point. If pilots trained by the academy were like flowers in a greenhouse before they saw actual combat, then pilots like Laura, who grew up on the battlefield, were like cacti in the desert. The difference between the two was obvious.
As an active-duty soldier with extensive combat experience, Laura's IS armor piloting skills are no less than those of the instructors, and some instructors with weaker overall abilities might not even be her match. In a large-scale melee on the battlefield, a seasoned veteran like Laura would be even more formidable, easily defeating the pilots in the academy.
Laura's statement was already quite modest. She simply felt that the female students in the university division at least had basic manners when they fought, unlike the students in the upperclass division, whose fights were merely ugly and relatively more entertaining.
Li Wei said, "Even the senior female students in the university department wouldn't be a match for you. It's a bit unfair for a professional to fight a non-professional."
Laura glanced at Levi out of the corner of her eye. Levi possessed eyes that could see through the fog, and he was able to perceive her hidden strength, which made her somewhat curious.
Laura said, "Li Wei, what do you think of this match being a draw?"
Li Wei watched the match below and said calmly, "Is there even a question? A newbie lacking talent can only put on a mediocre performance like this. Compared to you, they're far inferior."
Chapter 1. The Immediate Distinction Between Superior and Inferior
Although the academy has tried its best to maintain a balance of strength among the classes, this is something that can only be described as doing its best, and it is impossible to achieve a true balance.
Just like the class representatives in the previous two competitions, the overall strength of their representatives was far inferior to that of the two or three strongest classes.
The second group's performance was even worse than the third group's, with Fang making a huge mistake, which the opponent seized upon and relentlessly attacked.
Even a novice can be overpowered by a novice, and given that the girl who made the mistake was a complete novice, it was no surprise to Levi and Laura that the outcome of the match was decided the moment she made her mistake.
Laura stood up and said, "Let's go, it's our group's turn next. But if I win, will you still heal me?"
Li Wei also stood up and followed Laura's steps, saying, "I'm not so petty as to be stingy, and besides, I'm confident in my abilities."
Laura had also studied Levi's match data, but in the previous few matches, Levi had not gone all out, so Laura misjudged Levi's true strength.
In her opinion, Li Wei's strength had surpassed the average level of his grade, and he would be remarkable even in the university division. Li Wei's tactics were mature, his execution was stable, and his fighting style was fierce. His forte was the military-style tactic of breaking away from a target. Some of her teammates in the Black Rabbit unit had used this tactic, so she was familiar with the tactics Li Wei used in the competition and knew how to counter them.
Her rich combat experience, coupled with insufficient information, misled Laura. However, even when misled, her extensive combat experience allowed her to make on-the-spot adjustments, preventing her from being killed on her first encounter.
Laura walked ahead, heading down to the arena. The two walked side by side, stopping at the edge of the arena to receive guidance from the staff while they waited for the staff to level the arena. The previous battle had caused considerable damage to the arena. Neither side had very good shooting skills, resulting in many missed shots. The entire arena looked like it had been thoroughly bombarded and would need some time to repair.
Both Levi and Laura deployed their armor, ready for battle. Levi couldn't help but take a second look at Laura's armor.
The armor currently in use by the world's active forces is mostly first-generation armor with mature technology. Third-generation armor, due to its high cost and immature technology, is only produced in small batches and provided to elite troops.
The third-generation armor "Black Feather" used by Laura is a new type developed by Germany. However, due to its cost, only elite units like the Black Rabbit unit are equipped with it. As for the other "Miss Units", they still use the current mainstream armor.
After donning the armor, Laura removed her visor, revealing a golden pupil beneath. It was a semi-mechanical eye that had been artificially modified, a high-end achievement of nanotechnology in this world. German scientists called this specially modified eye the "Eye of Transcendence."
This semi-mechanical eye can significantly improve the user's dynamic vision. Even when the IS armor is not deployed, it can lock onto targets ten kilometers away. When the armor is deployed, the locking distance can be increased to about three times the original distance. This gives it a great advantage in air combat, allowing it to strike first and gain the upper hand.
This part of the information was obtained by Li Wei through the secret agents he had planted in Germany. When Li Wei was in the real world, he had used online encyclopedias to look up information about Laura, but that information could only be used as a reference. To get the real detailed information, he had to use other methods.
The semi-mechanical eye is, in a sense, like Kakashi's Sharingan in his left eye. It can't be turned on and off freely, so Laura usually covers it up so as not to affect her normal daily life.
The referees, also wearing armor, approached the two and said, "Get ready. The field will be repaired soon. Go upstairs and wait. I'll give you a signal to start."
Li Wei nodded, indicating that he understood, and then entered the arena.
Laura distanced herself from Rivera and moved to the other end of the field.
Li Wei watched as the referee walked between the two sides, waiting for the staff to completely level the field. He sighed inwardly. In IS armored combat, the referee's position was actually a high-risk profession. Without armor, stray bullets could kill the referee. Because of the sophisticated shield system, IS armored combat used live ammunition, including electromagnetic cannons, particle cannons, space convergence cannons, missiles, rockets, and plasma cannons. Any one of these weapons could easily kill someone.
·Requesting flowers·· ······
After the field was leveled, the staff retreated outside the field, and the isolation shield above the field was activated to ensure that stray bullets from both sides would not go outside the field.
On Li Wei's armor control interface, the area covered by the shield was displayed. The field was a huge circle, but the shield was not a traditional inverted hemispherical shape, but an upward-extending cylinder. The highest point of the shield reached a height of three kilometers. Such a huge space was enough for the combatants to unleash their full power.
......... ...... ...
However, this conflicts with the anime's plot. Considering that anime is just anime, while this is a real world, everything should prioritize the real world.
The referee stepped aside from between the two men, pointed his flintlock pistol into the air, and fired the flintlock bullet, which exploded in mid-air.
Having received the hint, both sides immediately took action.
Both sides were well-prepared for battle and had their own initial moves. The armor used by Laura was a modified version of the long-range artillery standard. The moment the signal flare exploded, the electromagnetic cannon located on the right shoulder of the armor fired rapidly, aiming at Li Wei's direction.
Relying on his physical abilities, Li Wei easily dodged the two shells, while simultaneously activating all the thrusters on the back of his armor and charging towards Laura at full speed.
Laura was surprised, but her face remained expressionless. After realizing Levi's intention to advance, she decisively climbed the height and fired her defensive rifle repeatedly, bombarding the shield of Levi's armor.
Using a heavy melee fighter, Levi played the "fire-and-chestnut" game, quickly closing the distance between himself and the enemy despite the heavy fire, and with two quick slashes, he cleared out Laura's shield.
Laura was shocked. Before she could even react, she had already lost the match. If this were a real fight, she would have been cut in half by Li Wei by now.
"I won," Li Wei said with a laugh, though he had lost.
Chapter 1. Deciding to Accept
The referees, who were in an empty space, were also a little taken aback because the result of this match came out too early.
The referee paused for a moment, then said, "The winner of this match is Li Wei."
