Chapter 865 Tutorial For Shiina

Chapter 865 Tutorial For Shiina

For the next week or so, Shiro continued to manage the city while waiting for Madison to wake up but so far, she had shown no signs of waking up.

Helion was keeping an eye on her while also opening his commissions again for the citizens. They would request certain types of armour and weapons while he would forge in his room next to Madison’s so that he could react whenever there was movement.

As for Aarim, she requested a mage’s tower of sorts in its own section of the city where the mana from Astral Horizon’s continuously flowed through the tower. Of course, they made some adjustments so only the top of the tower would have the full experience. The lower down the tower you are, the more diluted the experience is. Only those that are the most talented can go to the top and Aarim is the judge since she is the most ’magic focused’ person compared to everyone else in the party.

Yin was... being Yin. She went around eating everything she could get her hands on. Since the spirits knew that Yin was Shiro’s daughter, they naturally treated her without any payment and Lisandra would go with her as a supervisor. If Lisandra wasn’t there, Yin would have eaten everything up.

The two of them were rather popular with both the younger spirits and the older ones. The older ones preferred Yin since she was like a gluttonous granddaughter while Lisandra was more silent and refined which caused the younger spirits to look up to her.

Naturally, Shiro let the two of them enjoy themselves as she was setting up the mech training program for spirits that were less magically endowed than others. Even if they can’t use magic, the use of mechs would help offset that fault for them.

Lyrica and Isilia were training with each other and spending some time bonding as a family while Silvia and Chen Yu decided to get a house not too far away from the tower. As for how they spent their time, Shiro didn’t pry into it since it was their private time and doing so would be extremely rude.

Nan Tian didn’t have much to do other than assist her every now and again. He would spend the rest of his free time meditating so that he could increase his level.

Today was the 9th day that Shiro had spent on Asharia and she was planning on opening the class for mechs as well as a mech demonstration. However, other than having the mech fire off a few weapons or activate a few spells, there wasn’t much else she could do to demonstrate its power. Therefore, Shiro had a great idea.

She was going to piss off a hydra in its lair that she had found on the full map shown by the system.

Compared to the other hydras she had seen, this one was in a league of its own and naturally, it was the perfect candidate for her mech demonstration. Plus, there was more than one Hydra in this lair so it was also a good time to show off what Asharia was good for. The weapons on this fortress weren’t installed for decoration after all.

Sharing this idea with Nan Tian, he had his worries but in the end, he decided to roll with it since Shiro seemed to have everything under control.

There were two choices for Shiro, she could either pilot the mechs remotely and demonstrate one of its functions in order to ensure pilot safety or she could pilot it in person which would bring better results as she was manually operating the whole thing.

After considering the options, she decided to get Shiina to pilot one of the mechs remotely.

Naturally, she was shocked as she had never piloted a mech before and yet Shiro wanted her to demonstrate on a large stage where everyone in the city would be watching. If her parents watched her mess up on the big screen, she would be terribly embarrassed.

And since it was remote, they’ll be watching her on a stage.

"Don’t worry about it. I’ll be helping you remember all of the controls in just a single day." Shiro reassured with a grin.

But seeing that grin, Shiina couldn’t help but feel a shiver down her spine while both Oran and Akhess felt pity for her.

Of course, they weren’t forgotten either since Shiro reminded them that they would also be piloting a mech depending on what happens. While their magic prowess and willpower was good, the mech was another way of attack which doubles as a shield. Once this shield breaks, they’ll fight in person. This mech was essentially an extra life for them one they got used to the controls.

Bringing Shiina to the mech hanger, Shiina watched in shock as hundreds of mechs were being made simultaneously. Drones were collecting pieces and putting them together without any manual assistance as everything was automatic.

Sure Shiro could make a mech in an instant before her but that would defeat the purpose of having drones and programs designed to automate everything so that she didn’t need to bother with it.

Even for Shiro, manually handling everything little thing that happens in this city would be stressful. Handling a few at a time was fine but EVERYTHING was not. Therefore, having programs do this decreased the number of things she needed to keep her eye on.

Naturally, she couldn’t just leave it to the programs and forget about it. She would do some maintenance herself to make sure everything is in working order and that there were no glitches or errors.

Creating a small simulation box of sorts, Shiro had Shiina enter it and complete the ’tutorial’ of the mech while she projected herself as a hologram.

"Ah ah ah~ Testing testing~" Shiro made sure that the hologram was working before looking at Shiina.

Seeing as her avatar was a little big right now, she shrunk herself to the size of a palm before floating near Shiina with her legs crossed.

"Right then, as you can see in front of you, you have two ’glove’ like objects in front of you, two left panels and two right panels. The old mechs had a bunch of buttons and crap but don’t worry, most of the start up is done for you. If there is a situation where you have to do the start up manually, just insert your mana to kick start the ambient mana absorber. If there is no mana in the atmosphere, the mech won’t run regardless. However, if there is some mana, the nanobots will begin to restart themselves and activate the mech for you. Both of the left and right panels are for weapons while the gloves are for control.

"The screen above you is the damage that you have sustained and the screen in front is your map.

"I want you to put your hands in the gloves for now." Shiro explained as Shiina nodded her head with a serious face but she couldn’t help but think that tiny Shiro was cute. Despite the amount of killing intent she felt during their first meeting as well as the follow up spar, the small Shiro was just too adorable right now especially when she crossed her arms and explained things with a confident smile.

"Is there something on my face? It’s the first time I made myself a hologram to train another pilot so if it glitches it’s understandable." Shiro asked as she created a second hologram and looked at herself. Seeing that there were no glitches, she sighed in relief.

"Ah no it’s nothing, I just spaced out for a moment. Everything is a bit overwhelming for me." Shiina replied as Shiro nodded her head.

"Pft if you think this was overwhelming you should have seen the old mechs." Shiro laughed as she could remember the inefficient junk of the old ages. So many buttons and switches for things that could be linked up with a simple program.

Putting her hands in the gloves, Shiina felt something connect with her mana as the screens started to light up.

[Glove Connector Link Confirmed.]

[Please Take a Step Forward.]

Following the instructions, Shiina stood a step forward as two disks for her foot appeared and magnetised to the bottom of her shoes.

Stumbling for a bit, assistant arms dropped down and connected a chest piece to her so that it could help her stabilise herself.

[Pilot Confirmed. Connection to unit Exodus Mk 2 Confirmed.]

"You’re not in a real mech right now so just try to stabilise yourself and try to walk. It will simulate everything quite realistically, even the feedback. Once you’re done walking, we’ll move onto other movements such as running, crawling, swimming and flying." Shiro grinned as she pointed towards the tutorial progress bar.

[0.01% Complete.]

Seeing this, Shiina glanced at Shiro with a pale face.

"I’m supposed to get this done in a day?" She asked hesitantly.

"Yup!" Shiro gave her a thumbs up.
