Sparring

With the power source installed, the lights in the eyes of the visor lit up, and Charlotte's Mark II officially started up.

"Hello Mr. Charlotte, I am Jarvis."

"Hello, Jarvis."

Looking at the virtual projection in front of her eyes, Charlotte felt cool. After flexing her fingers, she opened the mask.

At this moment, Tony, wearing the Mark III, looked at Charlotte, who had already adapted to the armor, and said, "Let's go outside and experience it for a bit."

After saying that, Tony deactivated his visor and flew off first.

Seeing Tony pilot the Mark III straight out of the basement, Charlotte didn't hesitate, immediately deactivated her visor and followed.

Although it was Charlotte's first time using the Mark Armor, she mastered flight immediately. After all, she had watched Tony's flight maneuvers many times in her previous life, and with Jarvis assisting her, she quickly caught up with Tony.

Once outside, Charlotte didn't hold back and immediately started trying out freestyle flying. With Jarvis's help, she made all sorts of maneuvers that were difficult for fighter jets to perform incredibly easy.

Charlotte experienced everything from the Cobra maneuver to aerial somersaults and sudden stops and climbs.

Although these maneuvers are incomparable to the difficulty of operating a fighter jet, and there is no feeling of strong winds blowing, the change in vision gave Charlotte a sense of the joy of flying.

Charlotte flew to the sea and even tried her hand at manipulating the cannon. Although the Mark II was not equipped with a weapon system, she could still easily use the cannon.

Charlotte, who was playing at the time, received the call request and answered it immediately.

"Haha, how about it? Don't you have a different feeling?"

"Tony, your invention is great and very creative, but I prefer your smart Car AI."

Besides its impressive Energy Core, the Mark Armor also boasts a shock absorption system and artificial intelligence assistance, with the latter being what Charlotte is most interested in.

His base needs a reliable artificial intelligence to handle some trivial matters for him.

"Have you considered selling me an artificial intelligence? I think it's amazing."

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Charlotte." Jarvis suddenly spoke from inside their armor upon hearing Charlotte's praise.

Upon hearing that Charlotte had taken a liking to his artificial intelligence at first glance, Tony smiled and said, "Jarvis is not a takeout item, and artificial intelligence is not simple; it requires a lot of computing space and corresponding equipment."

"I can consider this. After all, creating a smart AI is no easy task."

Tony considered his backup AI options: besides the mentally challenged Dum-E, there was Friday. As for other backup AIs, he hadn't developed them yet.

When Charlotte heard that Tony had neither agreed nor refused, Charlotte knew that things were going well.

His main purpose in having artificial intelligence is to handle some daily tasks at the Base Point and experience high-tech life. It will not be used for experiments, nor will it be used to assist in the operation of any armor.

It's like a man seeing a new and interesting toy, and if he can afford it, he buys it to experience it properly.

Charlotte was immediately drawn to the smart technology at Tony's house when she first visited.

After all, who would refuse an artificial intelligence? This is real artificial intelligence, not some artificial stupidity.

"OK, I'll wait for your message."

"Tony, shall we have a match now?"

Looking at the Mark II hovering on the sea, Tony said, "No problem, but should we go back to the Villa first and take off your armor? You don't intend to spar with me in this gear, do you?"

"No need for that, Tony."

Charlotte enveloped the entire Mark II armor with Chakra, then with a thought, she stored it in her Storage Space.

Charlotte came up with a simple way to remove the armor; while wearing armor wouldn't be this easy, retrieving it into Storage Space was very convenient.

Tony stared wide-eyed as the Mark II armor vanished from Charlotte's body, followed by Charlotte falling from the sky.

This sudden scene gave Tony a lot of inspiration; perhaps he also needed to consider the portability of his armor.

"Sir, I have lost signal from Mark II."

Hearing Jarvis's words, Tony didn't hesitate and immediately accelerated and rushed over. He wasn't worried about the whereabouts of his Mark II, but rather whether Charlotte would drown if she fell in.

Charlotte, having removed his armor, landed steadily on the sea surface. Chakra surged from the soles of his feet, and he stood upright on the water.

Tony, who arrived at the scene, exclaimed in astonishment upon seeing what he had just witnessed, "Dude, how did you do that?"

"I've put the armor into my Storage Space; it's more convenient and saves time that way."

"No, that's not what I'm asking."

"What I'm saying is, how did you manage to stand on the sea surface, just like standing on flat ground?"

Charlotte smiled and took a few steps, making it impossible for Tony to see any support underwater, especially since this wasn't the beach and there were no rocks below.

"Sir, the scan shows that it's all seawater below, with no support whatsoever," Jarvis's voice rang out from inside the armor.

Charlotte then laughed and said, "This is a ninja's basic skill."

Basic skills? Tony couldn't understand it. What kind of ninja would consider Water Walking as a basic skill?

Charlotte then assumed a sparring stance and said, "Tony, let's begin."

"We'll talk about it after we're done fighting."

"Okay, then you'd better be careful." Tony's expression also turned serious, but he wasn't too worried. After all, his armor was made of Gold-Titanium Alloy, the same material as the Seraphim tactical satellite.

Charlotte conjured several Shuriken in her hands and launched them directly at Tony in mid-air.

"Clang... clang... clang..."

The clanging of metal produced a lot of sparks.

Tony was stunned by the impact of the Shuriken. The Shuriken Charlotte threw hit his armor with more force than a bullet.

Concealing his surprise, Tony didn't stand there as a target, but instead flew over in his armor.

Unsure of Charlotte's defensive capabilities, Tony didn't immediately use missiles or hand cannons, but instead prepared for close-quarters combat.

Seeing Tony approaching, Charlotte seized the opportunity and used Rock Lee's Taijutsu.

"Infinite Dance!"

Charlotte flashed, leaving behind a series of afterimages, and then appeared in front of Tony, unleashing eleven punches in quick succession, all of which struck Tony's armor. The last punch was a charged attack that created a sonic boom.

"Boom!"

Tony was blasted away by Charlotte, his body tumbling uncontrollably across the sea. Fortunately, Jarvis helped control him, preventing him from falling directly into the ocean.

Just as Tony stabilized his armor, he heard Jarvis's voice in his ear.

"Sir, the outer armor is damaged, with eleven percent of it damaged."
