NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

"Stop playing these word games, okay?!"

Under the man's sophistry, D's sinister aura grew even stronger and more pronounced.

She was genuinely angry, not with murderous intent, but simply annoyed without malice.

"They were designed to fight Lecher on the ground!"

They are not ACPU! They are not Triangle Force! They do not need to engage in close-quarters gunfights with terrorists indoors!

You must give me a reasonable explanation!

Why teach them CQB?!

At this point, D clearly wanted to say something more, but the words "If the explanation is not sufficient, I must kill you" ultimately remained unspoken.

"Don't you have the answer in your heart?"

However, Phoenix, who had seen through the other party's thoughts, remained calm and composed.

"Otherwise, why are you so concerned? Even some military enthusiasts practice CQB tactics with simulated firearms. There's no reason why Niki can't learn it, right?"

Swah——

The girl drew her battle axe from behind her waist; in that moment, her actions had already provided an answer to her attitude.

CQB, Close Quarter Battle, is a term used to describe close-quarters combat within an indoor environment.

The Ark's ACPU police and Triangle Force will use this tactical system to combat gangs and terrorists, but the problem is that CQB was not originally developed for counter-terrorism.

— Rather, it is used for war, not for occupation warfare aimed at the complete destruction of cities.

in other words,

CQB can also be used for rebellion.

"If I could, I really wouldn't want to kill you."

D took a deep breath and said frankly:

“Phoenix, I’m warning you this time, you’d better actually be teaching.”

Chapter 82 I know better than you how bad the Ark is.

"Otherwise, would it be a lie?"

Hearing D's warning, Phoenix continued flipping through the graduate E class's student files without a care.

"There are only a dozen or so people in total. What can they do with a little CQB knowledge? They can't even clear a building."

After pausing briefly in his speech, the person suddenly looked up, feigning surprise.

"Hey, hey, hey, you don't think I'm a reactionary, do you?"

"..."

Hearing this guy voluntarily reveal her innermost thoughts, D's carefully feigned murderous intent vanished instantly, as if hitting cotton.

Am I just being paranoid?

But her intuition told her that this guy had ulterior motives for teaching his students CQB training.

"No, we can't rule out another possibility!"

D calmly shook his head and said:

"If you plan to train a rapid strike force that excels in urban warfare and infiltration, and then utilize your own perception abilities, you have a real chance to take over the Ark's central command by surprise attack."

Ok?

After listening to the killer cat's analysis, Phoenix couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and continue teasing about this topic that could cost him his head at any moment.

"Look at what you're saying. Anyone who didn't know better would think it was some kind of rebellion drama from a small African country. They think they can just lead a few guys into the command post and start shooting, and take over the whole country."

"A small African country?"

“I don’t know what that place is.” D’s expression was quite serious, completely unaffected by the person’s flippant tone.

"And there's an oversight in your last sentence: if the 'small African country' you mentioned can control a country just by relying on the command center."

Then you've forgotten one thing: the Ark is just an underground city.

An artificial city without a single plain or mountain range.

"?"

What's wrong with this cat?

After listening to the defense's arguments, Phoenix couldn't help but blink, a strange feeling creeping into his mind that the other side was trying to persuade him to join the rebel group.

How come her path of self-reflection is so clear?

Who exactly is the reactionary?

With mixed feelings, a certain reactionary continued his rebuttal tentatively:

"That's true, but the Ark has tens of millions of people, which is ten or twenty times larger than a small country with a few million people. What can they do by raiding a central command?"

Besides, how easy is it to raid the central command headquarters?

"Why not launch a surprise attack?!"

The thought of the Ark Bugs' years of passively waiting to die and stagnate caused D's emotions to fluctuate wildly once again.

She sheathed her battle axe, took two excited steps forward, and said rapidly:

"The only true defensive force of the Ark, inside and out, is Niki!"

The military region has over 100,000 soldiers who are rotated every three to five years, but in the past forty or fifty years, they have never fought a single battle!

Even so, Fangzhou still allocates a large amount of military funds to the military camps every year, and the military camps still use those new weapons and automatic defense systems that have never been fired to be responsible for the security of major departments.

Most officials would rather trust a group of well-fed and drunk recruits than entrust their lives to mass-produced Niki!

I know better than you how awful Ark is!

When the last word escaped from D's throat, the entire office immediately fell silent.

It was so quiet that you could faintly hear the man's heart beating strongly.

time,

It was as if everything had stopped at that moment.

The two stared awkwardly into each other's eyes, so silent that they even temporarily forgot to breathe.

Phoenix: "..."

D: "..."

Phoenix: "..."

D: "..."

Phoenix: "Then you..."

"Don't speak yet!"

Realizing how outrageous her words were, the cat, whose cheeks were starting to flush and burn, clenched her fists somewhat helplessly and said, "Anyway... don't think too much about it."

The Ark, like the mica mineral layer, looks very solid, but in reality, it will crumble into pieces the moment you step on it.

"Change can only be achieved gradually, and that's the original intention behind the establishment of the court."

"Uh……"

Scratching his head, Phoenix knew that if he said even half a word more about this topic, it would probably make the girl in front of him feel even more embarrassed and annoyed.

Therefore, he had to rack his brains to change the subject.

"Um... what would you like to eat tonight?"

D: "..."

Phoenix: "..."

D: "...fish cake".

D: "...Can you do it?"

Phoenix: "It's similar to a dumpling, I can give it a try."

D: "...Thank you."

Phoenix: "It's only right that you think so much about me."

……

……

"Teacher Maruchana?"

As Nadja and Tia called out, Maruchana, who had been standing alone outside the corridor gazing into the distance, immediately snapped out of her reverie and turned to look at her two high school girlfriends who had come to her side.

Seeing the tension hidden in their smiles, the teacher softened her expression slightly and asked:

"Nadja, Tia, is something the matter?"
