Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 577

[Chapter 574 Hunter Academy]

In the original plot, after the protagonist Raleigh Beckett was brought back to the Broken Dome by Marshal Pentecost, he prepared many backup pilots for him to choose a partner.

As a result, Raleigh didn’t like any of them. The only pilot who caught his eye was Mako Mori (also translated as Mako Mori). Let’s not talk about whether Raleigh was greedy for Mako Mori’s body. Let’s just say that when the two of them competed, at least there was no winner on the scene, and when they later drove the Danger Ranger together to fight the monster, Mako Mori’s performance also proved how correct Raleigh’s choice was.

The other backup pilots were knocked down by Raleigh Beckett in various ways during the competition, and their performance was simply terrible.

As for David and his arrival, will this situation change?

David thinks it won’t happen at all, because if everything goes well, David, Hu Huishan and Kara are very likely to become the first batch of graduates of the Hunter Academy and the first batch of mecha pilots trained by the academy. They will only make the subsequent batches of graduates more useless.

After arriving at the Broken Dome, David, Hu Huishan and Kara were arranged to live in the recruit dormitory area, where they received training with other people who passed the initial physical examination.

David originally thought that this kind of training was meaningless, and it would be better to send them directly to the Hunter Academy for screening.

After starting, he realized the real purpose of this three-month training: to eliminate those who are not mentally strong enough, who think being a driver is cool but cannot endure hardship.

After only three months of military life, most of them were eliminated, which shows how many of them are here to join in the fun and successfully sign up because of their excellent physical fitness.

If all these people were sent to the Hunter Academy, it would be a headache to just send the students who dropped out to various places every day. It would be

better to conduct a round of screening before formal enrollment. After receiving three months of basic training, the remaining people should be mentally prepared for the training and study life in the Hunter Academy.

Of course, this refers to the other students besides David and the other two. David and his group have become the best performing students recruited by Xiangjiang during this period.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will be the focus of training after going to the Hunter Academy.

This is exactly what David wants. He also wants to drive a big robot instead of staying in the base and watching others take the limelight. Even if the person taking the limelight is Hu Huishan, he will still feel very uncomfortable.

During this time, Kara learned a trick to control energy from David: she could hide the power in her body and put herself in the state of an ordinary person.

At first, she needed David’s help to guide her, but she gradually mastered this skill and could disguise herself as an ordinary person at any time to deal with various tests.

“It just so happens that I will have to take physical examinations frequently after going to the Hunter Academy.”

“Why don’t we compete to see who can be the first to become a formal Jaeger pilot?”

“Instead of thinking about this, you might as well think about who you can connect with mentally.”

David’s words made Kara stunned for a few seconds, and then she realized that if she wanted to become a pilot of the Jaeger mecha, her partner could only be David and Hu Huishan.

From Kara’s point of view, neither of them seemed to be a good choice.

But she soon realized that her physical fitness was not comparable to that of ordinary earthlings. With her nerve toughness, she could fully bear the burden brought by the Jaeger mecha.

In other words, Kara could start and drive the Jaeger mecha alone to fight monsters, and she did not need a partner.

“Then have you figured out how to convince the top brass of the Joint Defense Force to allow you to pilot the Jaeger alone?”

“…”

Kara fell into deep thought. Things were a bit troublesome. She couldn’t tell others that she was an alien, right? Should she just quit?

After three months of basic training, those who stayed behind would be sent to Kodiak Island in Alaska to become the first batch of students after the Hunter Academy was built.

When David and others arrived at Kodiak Island, there were many new students from all over the world who were just like them. Countless people gathered in the square of the academy, ready to start a ‘new adventure’.

When David was thinking about this in his heart, the person standing next to him suddenly greeted him: “Are you from the Xiangjiang base? I heard that the Broken Dome there has been officially put into use? How does it look? Is it spectacular?”

David looked at the familiar man next to him, and it was a familiar face.

“Hello, my name is Cai Tiantong.”

“David Glamorgan.” David pointed to Hu Huishan and Kara standing beside him: “These two are Hu Huishan, and this is Kara Kent (Kara’s pseudonym).”

“Hello.”

After greeting the two women, Cai Tiantong looked at the others carefully, and finally looked at David with admiration.

His intuition told him that the man in front of him was definitely the best of his generation, and he was admired.

While Cai Tiantong was looking at David with admiration, David scanned the crowd and found the Beckett brothers, Yancy Beckett and Rowley Beckett.

He also wanted to try to see if he could find Chuck Hansen or Asako Mori, but unfortunately he didn’t meet them.

Come to think of it, it’s about ten years before the plot begins. At this time, Pantecoster has not yet become a marshal, and should still be a pilot of the Tango Wolf. Asako Mori is just a little girl. No matter what, she shouldn’t be sent to the Hunter Academy at such a young age.

Chatting with Cai Tiantong, according to the instructions of the instructor of the academy, everyone was quickly assigned to the dormitory.

Coincidentally, David, Cai Tiantong and the Beckett brothers were assigned together. In the future, at least for a year, they will be roommates in the same dormitory-provided that they can complete the various training courses of the academy.

If one of them fails to meet the standards, they will be eliminated immediately.

After the four people introduced their names to each other, they talked about why they came to the Hunter Academy.

To David’s surprise, the Beckett brothers simply thought it was cool to be a Jaeger pilot, so they signed up together and came to the Hunter Academy.

Cai Tiantong, a guy who looks heartless, is actually here for revenge.

Cai Tiantong was born in China. He is a mixed-race. He moved to San Francisco with his family in his early years. San Francisco was the first city to suffer after the monster invasion.

His grandfather died in that disaster, so he had great hostility towards monsters. After learning that the Hunter Academy began to recruit students, he signed up to join.

“I must become an excellent driver and kill all these damn monsters.”

“You can do it!” Luo Li patted Cai Tiantong on the shoulder and cheered him up.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit bad, Yang Xi suggested throwing away the things on hand, going to the cafeteria to eat first, and then coming back to continue to clean up: “If you go late, you will have to wait in line for a long time to eat.”

“Let me tell you, don’t look at David, this guy is silent, he came to the Hunter Academy with two girlfriends.”

On the way to the cafeteria, Cai Tiantong’s mentality has been adjusted, and he has restored his previous optimistic and cheerful appearance, and casually broke a big melon to let the two new friends know.

Yanxi and Luo Li took Cai Tiantong’s words as a joke. After all, it was rare for someone to bring a girlfriend to the Hunter Academy.

What kind of idiot would bring two girlfriends to the Hunter Academy at the same time? Did he feel that his life was too dull? So he wanted to find some excitement for himself?

But when the two saw Hu Huishan and Kara came to the cafeteria to get their meals and went straight to their table to sit down, they… they still didn’t believe the so-called two girlfriends and only regarded them as David’s friends.

However, these two people have good looks and figures! In the Hunter Academy, where female students are already rare, they are even more conspicuous.

You can see this by looking at how many eyes are secretly looking at this side.

The Beckett brothers looked at each other. The next few days will be fun. There must be many people who want to make trouble for David. Who made him get close to two beauties?

“By the way, why did you join the Hunter Academy?” After a brief chat, Luo Li was very curious about Kara and Hu Huishan. Why did they want to become Jaeger pilots?

At the same time, he also remembered that when he was in the dormitory just now, because of Cai Tiantong, David did not answer this question.

“I came here with her.” David and Kara gave exactly the same answer, and pointed at Hu Huishan.

Now, everyone’s eyes were on Hu Huishan. Hu Huishan, who was no longer a girl in her teens or twenties, had seen many storms and waves. Facing everyone’s gaze, she calmly answered: “To fight monsters.”

“…” ×3.

What a simple and straightforward answer! The Beckett brothers and Cai Tiantong realized one thing at the same time: this woman named Hu Huishan might not be easy to mess with.

The Beckett brothers looked at Kara and David, and then looked at Hu Huishan. They now understood why Cai Tiantong said that David brought two girlfriends. The relationship between these three people seemed strange.

Amid the curiosity and hostility of countless people, David began his study life in the Hunter Academy.

Fighting skills, the use of various weapons, the operation courses of the Jaeger mecha, etc., almost occupied all the time of the students.

In addition, there are physical fitness, strength and other training to strengthen physical fitness. Those who originally wanted to find a reason to trouble David were all beaten into wilted eggplants by the instructors. They were tired every day and had no extra energy to cause trouble.

In this situation, David and Kara stand out.

No matter how difficult the training is or how much training is done, these two can complete it at a speed far exceeding other students, and it seems that these two have not reached their limit.

Compared with these two monsters, Hu Huishan’s outstanding performance is not so eye-catching, and she can only be ranked in the second tier with the Beckett brothers.

As for Cai Tiantong? He has been eliminated!
