An advanced guide for experienced modelers, from building blocks to hand-building Gundams

"You have leaped directly from ordinary people to new humans. To reach this stage, normal people must first reach the 'seed', then the transformer... and advance all the way. Your evolutionary seed not only passively strengthens your body permanently in battle, but also makes your body compatible with downwards."

"This is a rare case in the mecha combat system. We have only seen similar things in practitioners of other power systems, such as fantasy or magic systems."

"So that's what I am?" Ross scratched his head. Although Ross didn't quite understand the significance of this, perhaps he belonged to a special category?

"Your ability has also mutated... Normally, the ability 'Power of My Thoughts' would connect directly to the courtyard, allowing you to find the blueprint you desire from the endless world."

The image in the projection changed, and it turned into several unfamiliar people. After a flash of special effects, they created various weapons.

"And your ability, even without connecting to the courtyard, relying solely on the images in your memory, automatically collected the world's technology tree, filtered and incorporated it into your machine, completing the blueprint. The high-energy battery-powered Jegan you're currently using is proof of that."

"Are there many people with a skill set like mine?" Rhodes asked curiously, roughly understanding the level of abstraction in his own skill set.

"There are many people who have combined the New Humans with the 'Power of My Thoughts', a lot. But when you consider the entire courtyard, this number is very small, very few. And there are even fewer who possess both abilities in a benign mutation."

Harrow ended the projection and waved the oval wings above his head.

"Let's stop here for today. It's time for you to wake up. I've detected that your cockpit has been opened by your companion."

After saying that, Ross felt a strong dizziness, as if he was thrown into a washing machine and spun.

"Anyway, although this world is the ultimate branch of the 'seed' worldline on the verge of destruction, even with the presence of a few foreign objects, the overall danger level is not high, but this will be considered your on-the-job training. Your mission is to eliminate the factors of destruction and continue this worldline."

"When you wake up, let's meet in the waking world."

The dizziness gradually subsided, and Ross subconsciously opened his eyes.

In his blurred vision, Ross saw the doctor on the Archangel, who was trying to lift the powerless Ross out of the cockpit.

……

"The doctor said Ross is not in danger of life. It looks like he is in a coma due to excessive fatigue and exhaustion... He will be fine after resting for a while." Bakilulu changed back into her usual uniform and brought a few Marines to the lifeboat brought back by Kira. She turned her head and looked at Mariu who had just walked over.

After all, from the design point of view, compared with the simple geometric style of Earth, this lifeboat is clearly designed in the style of ZAFT. Otherwise, Baki Lulu would not have asked the Marines to come over.

"Mu and the doctor have gone to take Ross to the medical room."

"Yeah, I know. Thank you for your hard work, Natal."

Maru nodded and looked at the lifeboat that Kira brought back.

At this time, Kira had just changed into his uniform and came to the hangar with his friends.

"Kira, it seems Ross is right. You have great potential to become a space scrap dealer."

Seeing Kira coming, Bakilulu put her hands on her hips and made a little joke for the first time in a long time.

"It seems you really like picking up things."

With the supply problem solved and ZAFT now out of the picture, even the usually serious Bakilulu subconsciously relaxed a bit.

"Uh...sorry?"

Kira scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. After all, this was the second time he had come back with a life capsule.

"You don't have to apologize. Fortunately, we got a lot of supplies this time. It won't be a problem to save one or two more refugees." Malu patted Kira's shoulder and soothed Kira's nervous mood.

"Once we reach the lunar base, we can arrange for the evacuation of civilians from the Archangel."

"Ah... Thank you, Captain Malu."

Kira also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Mariu said.

"Everyone get ready, I'm about to open this lifeboat!"

Madoc, who was standing next to the lifeboat and operating the tablet, shouted loudly to the people standing near the lifeboat.

The Marines also raised their guns at this time, ready to subdue the people in the lifeboat.

"Puff..." Accompanied by a sound of deflation, the door of the lifeboat was opened.

Everyone became nervous.

"Hello, hello..."

But accompanied by a crisp electronic sound, a pink ball flapped its two oval wings on its head and floated out.

The sudden change left everyone stunned.

"Hello, Lux..."

As the pink Hello floated by, a voice came from the lifeboat.

"Thank you, everyone, for your hard work."

When everyone came to their senses, a pink figure floated out of the lifeboat.

……

For the first time, Ross didn't feel the resentful cries of the cosmic ghost while sleeping, and slept peacefully.

When he opened his eyes and woke up, he saw the familiar ceiling of the infirmary.

To be honest, Ross had often stayed in the infirmary since arriving on the Archangel. He had even considered asking Mariu to allow him to move in.

"Are you awake, Mr. Rhodes?"

At this time, the temporary ship doctor who was sorting medical supplies noticed Ross who had just woken up, and came over with a stethoscope to check on him.

"You're recovering well, but I suggest you get more rest, Mr. Rhodes."

After a brief examination, the doctor put away his stethoscope.

"Please wait here for a moment. I have already informed Miss Christina and Miss Bucky Lulu."

"Natal? Why should we inform her?" Rhodes reached out and pulled out the needle from the back of his left hand, then sat up.

"I asked for it."

Before the doctor could reply, the door of the infirmary was opened.

Baki Lulu, dressed in uniform, walked in, followed by Christina.

"Hey, have you finished collecting the supplies?" Rhodes raised his right hand and greeted.

The doctor standing by, after observing the situation for a moment, smiled and left the infirmary.

"...The Archangel has completed its resupply and is moving towards the lunar base."

Baki Lulu was silent for a moment, then began to speak.

"I heard about you from Captain Malu and Christina... You should have told us earlier."

"If I'd told you in advance, we'd have given up on supplies and most likely died along the way." For some reason, Ross could sense what Bakilulu was feeling. It was a sense of resistance and fear at the death of her companions.

Why can I feel the other person's emotions? Is it because of the power I gained by resonating with the spirit of Julius No. 7?

Roz didn't know. But Roz knew one thing very well.

"It's better for only me to be affected than to do nothing and let everyone die along the way."

"...I'm sorry...but I still hope you can explain things clearly to us next time, and ensure that your activities are within our support area, and keep communication open. Otherwise, whether it's the Archangel losing a combat force or we lose a companion, it's something we don't want to see."

"You once told Christina that you hope she can survive like us, but at the same time, you have to survive as well." Bucky Lulu lowered her head, thought for a moment, and then stared straight into Ross's eyes.

"And...thank you."

Ross smiled when he heard Baki Lulu's whispered thanks.

Then, pretending to be relaxed, he put his hand on his stomach. "Oh, I've been messing around for so long, I'm hungry. Natal, what's the cafeteria menu today?"

Seeing Ross change the subject to break the increasingly heavy atmosphere, Bakilulu felt relieved for some reason.

But then she returned to her old tone and replied firmly: "I don't know."

"Come on, Christina, you must be hungry too. Let's go to the cafeteria together. I heard that officers can eat more." Rhodes got out of bed and put on his shoes. He picked up his coat next to him and called the two people in front of him to go to the cafeteria.

"...I have to go sort out the ammunition and supplies, so I won't be going." Baki Lulu looked at Ross, who was smiling. For some reason, perhaps infected by his smile, she also suddenly laughed.

"But on the Archangel, the officers probably don't get as much as the pilots."

……

Taking Christina with him, Rhodes headed towards the cafeteria.

Along the way, they occasionally saw some civilians. After seeing Ross, they seemed to want to say something, but in the end they just avoided him in silence.

Although it wasn't as clear as a face-to-face conversation, Rhodes could still sense their inner emotions a little.

Gratitude to Ross for protecting them all the way, condemnation of obtaining resources from the wreckage of Julius 7, fear of Christina... These emotions alone formed the complex thoughts in their hearts.

As for some children, it was even simpler. They were simply frightened by the scene of Christina unleashing the mantis knife, so they hid themselves.

"Ah... sometimes being too sensitive to emotions isn't such a good thing~"

Seeing that there was some silence along the way, Rhodes used a joking tone, intending to let Christina talk to him.

"...You slept well today. I didn't hear from the doctor that you had nightmares." Christina started discussing Rhodes's condition.

"Those cosmic ghosts...are you immune to their influence?"

"...Rather than saying I'm immune, it's better to say I've reconciled with them." Ross smiled and pointed to his head. "During the time of Julius 7, even though my brain nearly exploded, I still managed to reconcile with them."

"Sigh...you'd better not do such dangerous things again." Christina suddenly sighed. "Although you are emotionally immature, your knowledge and talent are irreplaceable."

"Well, the world is so big, there will always be geniuses stronger than me." Ross waved his hand. "Besides, it can be considered a blessing in disguise. My perception is a little stronger than before."

"For example, I guess there must be someone arguing in the cafeteria..."

When Rhodes arrived at the cafeteria, what caught his eye were two people who were in a confrontation, or rather a one-sided confrontation.

On one side was Fleur, wearing a pink dress, and on the other side was a woman with long pink hair and a star-shaped hairpin. It looked as if the defeated woman would give the pink to the winner.

But compared to Frey's sharp response, the pink-haired woman looked a little confused.

"Should I come back later?"

----split line----

PS: Uh uh uh, without Black Myth Wukong and the limited machine to play, it feels like Senior Sister Mai is crawling on me.

I want to get on a time machine and go straight to the 20th!

Volume 1: Chapter 12 TM's magnetic field rotates 200,000 times! Youde's big whirlpool teeth!

The situation in the cafeteria was very delicate.

It was quite like the prime-time romance TV series that Rhodes had watched in his previous life, with the heroine and the supporting actress attacking each other in a relatively public place.

But in this situation, it’s hard to say who the heroine is.

To be honest, Rhodes has been in this world for so long, and was killed by a falling space station in Sydney, so he has almost forgotten the plot of seed and only remembers some of the more critical nodes.

But these are not important. The problem now is that after Ross appeared at the door, everyone's eyes looked over.

"Mr. Ross!" Kira shouted happily when he saw Ross's figure.

"It's great that you're okay."

"Yes, son, I'm back."

Ross walked forward, patted Kira's shoulder, and showed the same big smile as before.

"But I'm starving now. If I don't eat something, I'm going to crash."

"Okay, okay, wait a moment." At this time, Kira's friend with a middle-parted hairstyle walked into the kitchen and started packing food for Ross.

"Oh... I remember you were Kira's friend, Kaz?" Ross recalled and said the other person's name. "You have the name of a strong man."

"A strong man... Ha, I'm not really a strong man." The young man named Kaz smiled and quickly prepared two meals.

"But now you are the strong man who saved me from the dire straits, and I am almost starving now." Ross walked to the side with the food, forming a triangle with Frey and the pink-haired girl.

"Ah, I'm finally saved." After taking two bites, Ross showed a look of relief.

Although it may be exaggerated, resonating with the space spirits in the wreckage of Julius 7 is still very mentally and physically demanding.

"By the way, I don't think I've seen you on this ship before? What's your name?"

Only then did Ross turn the topic to the girl with pink hair.

"Hello, I'm Lacus Klein from Plant." The pink-haired girl introduced herself and extended her hand to Ross.

"I believe you're the pilot of the other mobile suit I saw in the hangar. Nice to meet you."

"You have a keen eye for observation, don't you? Did Kira pick it up?" Ross took out a tissue from his pocket, wiped his hands, gently shook Lux's hand, and then let go.
