About five minutes later.
The orange M1 Heretic Gundam opened the cockpit, and Tatsumi Holly, who was almost exhausted, struggled to step onto the elevator of the cockpit.
"Tatsumi, are you okay?"
Ya Orido Kio looked at the pale Tatsumi Holly and hurriedly ran over and stretched out his hand to help him up.
"fine·····"
Tatsumi Holly murmured, and with the support of Masaru Orito Kio, he looked back at the machine covered with scars caused by the spread of beam particles.
Although the beam saber has reduced power, it is still a beam saber.
There are still slightly charred marks on the body, which is particularly dazzling on the orange-painted body.
"Actually, you've done a pretty good job."
At some point, Aslan, who had already left, came over from a distance.
Although Tatsumi, Holly, and others were almost the same age as him, they had also fought in Orb offensive and defensive battles.
But he seems too immature in terms of combat experience.
Aslan, who was worried, returned after sending Noel and Lax back to Teacher Malchio.
"Mr. Aslan."
Tatsumi Holly had a dark look in his eyes when he heard this.
He had already expected his failure. The name of the human shadow tree and the existence of the Covenant Gundam were like mountains that MS could not climb. He had always conducted the test with a learning attitude.
But he never thought he would lose so miserably.
The gap between the two is too big, a gap that is almost desperate.
"Do you know Kira Yamato?"
Aslan couldn't help but ask, looking at Tatsumi Holly's pale expression.
In fact, Tatsumi Holly is not that weak, but after all, he is a soldier of Orb, and he cannot choose to turn a blind eye.
Besides, he has pretty good senses for Tatsumi Holly.
"I know, Freedom Gundam pilot." Tatsumi Holly nodded and replied.
Anyone who cares about the battlefield knows about Freedom Gundam.
In addition to Frey Alstar, the name of Liberty Gundam is much more famous than that of Covenant Gundam.
"Faced with the Covenant Gundam driven by Noel, even the Freedom Gundam driven by Kira dare not engage in long-term close combat. Even if Noel catches up, Kira will try his best to escape as soon as possible."
From Aslan's perspective, Noel and Kira each represent the pinnacle of a fighting type.
Even if he faced them alone, there was no guarantee that he would escape unscathed.
"Mr. Noel's close combat strength... is indeed terrifying."
When he said this, Tatsumi Holly showed a trace of unnatural fear on his face.
He couldn't find any other words to describe the oppressive feeling except horror.
Especially when Mr. Noel was serious later, the two beam sabers were aimed at the cockpit all the time.
As long as you look up at the screen, you can see the light of the beam saber sweeping towards you.
The most terrifying thing is that facing Noel's attack, you have almost no other options except evasion and defense.
He didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he felt as if Noel could know his attack in advance and could perfectly avoid his attack even without a shield.
This becomes an endless loop——
Hit, miss.
Hide, can't hide.
Escape, can't escape——
The despair of watching oneself step by step into the abyss, and the suffocation of being shrouded in death all the time can make people mentally shattered.
"In fact, Noel didn't become so strong at the beginning. He also transformed to this level in battles."
Aslan noticed the strange look on Tatsumi Holly's face and couldn't help but persuade him.
In fact, when he learned that Tatsumi Holly wanted to challenge Noel, he refused in his heart.
A person who has just left the Novice Village wants to challenge the final boss in a one-on-one battle, and it is still in the area where the opponent is best...
Who will die if you don’t die?
Even Kira, who was released by himself at the beginning... also experienced countless life and death battles before gradually transforming.
In other words, the current MS pilot with a surname did not evolve from wandering on the edge of life and death.
The idea of trying to catch up with them just by relying on MS training is arrogant and unrealistic.
"And it's pretty good that you can fight Noel for so long. At least as far as I know, there are not many human MS pilots who can fight Noel alone for such a long time."
To be honest, Aslan was a little surprised that Tatsumi Holly could persist for so long.
Although he hasn't really fought with Noel for a long time.
But looking at the record of Covenant Gundam, few pilots can fight Noel alone for more than five minutes when left alone.
Basically, it's an edge-to-edge battle with teammates covering the screen.
"So you don't have to feel depressed because of failure. After all, among the criteria for measuring ace pilots among some high-level military officials, there is the criterion of fighting the covenant without dying."
This is not Aslan's nonsense.
Because part of the current definition of elite pilots by the Earth Alliance is really based on 'combat experience with Freedom Gundam and Covenant Gundam'
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who gets knocked down easily. Sooner or later, I'll be able to fight Mr. Noel head-on and never lose!"
Tatsumi Holly was just about to say that he would defeat Noel, but when he thought about what he had just experienced, a head-on defeat seemed a bit science fiction.
"That's good." Aslan smiled upon hearing this.
"Oh, by the way, who is stronger, Mr. Aslan or Mr. Noel?"
Suddenly, Tatsumi Holly, who had a novel brain circuit, suddenly thought of a rumor.
Justice, liberty, covenant, providence—
And said four MS can change a large battle.
As for Rebirth, the performance of Rebirth Gundam is really not worthy of its name. Of course, this is not to say that Rebirth is not strong. It is actually slightly worse than the above four.
So as the pilot of the Justice Gundam, who is stronger, Mr. Aslan, who also experienced the Battle of Yakinduvi, or Mr. Noel?
It seems that no one has yet determined whether the Covenant Gundam or the Justice Gundam are stronger or weaker.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Hearing this, Ya Orito Kio couldn't help but reach out and slap Tatsumi Holly on the back of the head, and said to Aslan: "I'm really sorry, this guy has always had a problem with his brain."
"Actually, this question is not that difficult to answer -"
As Aslan spoke, he looked at the two machines standing not far away and said: "In close combat with MS, Noel is the strongest MS pilot I have ever encountered, bar none."
"So, Mr. Aslan, you are not Noel——"
boom--
"Ouch——"
Before Tatsumi Hori could finish his words, he was hit head-on by Masa Orito Kio.
"Shut your mouth if you can't speak!"
"It doesn't matter. After all, Noel is really strong. I'm really not sure I can beat him."
Aslan's eyes flashed as he spoke.
In fact, based on Aslan's character, he is not the kind of person who likes to win, but let him voluntarily succumb to others...
His pride prevented him from saying this.
After all, Aslan almost ranked first in all subjects when he graduated from the military academy.
At that time, ZAFT Military Academy was mainly based on actual combat test results. If Aslan was really humble, how could he be the first?
Yes, Noel's strength is indeed very strong, so strong that it scares countless pilots and puts them at a loss.
But he is not that weak either.
At least without a real fight, Aslan would not admit that he was weaker than anyone, not even Kira, and Aslan would not admit that he was necessarily weaker than him.
Thinking of this, Aslan suddenly discovered something very interesting.
That is, since he came out of the military academy, he has never had any actual combat training with Noel.
"Haha, what am I thinking about?"
Aslan was suddenly amused by his own thoughts. He actually had such meaningless thoughts of winning...
Under the confused gazes of the two people, Aslan restrained his emotions and smiled: "Let's go, we should get over it after taking so long."
After saying that, without waiting for the three people to react, they turned around and walked straight towards the manor.
This kind of competitive thought has not appeared for a long time.
But it's just a thought. After all, I don't like meaningless battles.
