White Wolf rushed forward, trying to hold both devils for as long as possible. However, before reaching his destination, the clone disappeared. White Wolf wanted to turn around to protect Blue Flower, but it was too late. The devil appeared before him and stroked him repeatedly with potent sword attacks.
"Your claws are quite sharp — they should make for some decent material," the devil child uttered.
"I’ll kill you, bastard," White Wolf scoffed as a sense of urgency drowned his senses. He increased his attack tempo, trying to eliminate this bastard as soon as possible to protect his ally.
"Your mind and will are weak," the devil child taunted. " And that’s just the surface of all the flaws you have. The cultivation world has existed for longer than your tiny mind could fathom. Did you really think you could rival us after creating this little armor?"
"Shut up!"
Boom!
White Wolf’s body paused as his armor’s sensor detected that Blue Flower’s life signs were completely gone. His mind reverted to their first meeting.
"Captain, what if they don’t like me?"
"They don’t need to like you."
"You know what I mean," Blue Flower added. "I’ve heard about many female pilots that are mistreated. That’s why we formed the association to ensure we are on the same squad."
"Then you should trust the association."
"You recruited me through them?"
"That’s right," White Wolf nodded. "They’ve inspected and investigated our team before accepting my application."
"I see, but captain, why did you want a woman in your squad?"
"I wanted a lightning user, but as you know, those are rare. So, I applied everywhere, hoping to get someone."
"I see."
"We’re here. Believe me, you’ll love this team," Wolf said, noting that she was not too confident. How about this? We’ll have a mock battle as soon as we arrive. This way, we can better understand each other as a team, and the others can see how capable you are."
"But that’s not a good approach for a first meeting."
"Maybe, but it’s the most direct way."
"Alright."
"...Team, come meet our new number."
"...Captain, where did you find this terrifying pilot?" Lu Zhen asked. His armor was torn apart by lightning in the battle simulation.
"So, what do you guys think?" Wolf asked.
"She’s awesome," Lu Zhen immediately said.
"She will be a great addition to the team," Li Shen nodded.
"Grindax?" White Wolf asked. "I know you’re not one to mince your words, so tell me honestly what you think."
"Her control over her armor is superb, and the utilization of her Thunder Rune is one of the best I’ve seen," Grindax replied calmly.
"But?"
"She’s too slow for a Thunder User," Grindax added.
White Wolf did not comment," Blue Flower, what do you think of this comment?"
"The academy’s instructor had the same evaluation," Blue Flower admitted. "She said I could become a 6B pilot if I fix this problem."
"Grindax here has a knack for training pilots. With him here, your chances at improving and becoming 6B will be much higher."
"I will be in your care," Blue Flower bowed.
"We are all teammates, so let’s take care of each other," Grindax nodded.
