Xiao Ran gives Sousuke Sagara special training every day according to his own plan, but this kind of special training seems a bit inexplicable to Cruz and Melissa·Mao. They move around the room blindfolded, or they can only avoid and cannot resist the sparring. The game of guessing the left hand, guessing the right hand incorrectly will result in being beaten. No matter where you look at it, it does not look like an AS training subject.
In the eyes of ordinary people, such training seems to be of no use, but in the eyes of Xiao Ran, it is indeed different. In fact, for AS driving, Sousuke Sagara has reached a very peak state. There are very few drivers in this world who can reach the same level as Sousuke Sagara. It is not that easy to improve, so it can only be enhanced from another aspect, and the strength of Sousuke Sagara can be increased in a different direction.
What's more, the true strength of Sousuke Sagara ultimately depends on λ-DRIVER, which is particularly important in terms of perception and feeling.
Xiao Ran actually admits that this kind of training method is not very useful, but the real goal is to make Sousuke Sagara get used to using his own feelings and become more sensitive to Outside World's environment. Then Xiao Ran's goal is achieved.
It feels like this kind of thing is mysterious and mysterious, but it can be explained a little bit with Mental Power. What the diffused Mental Power can detect is what one can feel. Although a person is invisible to the eyes, he can feel it through the amount of Mental Power, just like the spread of Xiao Ran and Brainwave can reveal invisible enemies.
So in other words, Xiao Ran is actually teaching Sousuke Sagara how to use his own Mental Power power. At this point, Xiao Ran still has a lot of experience. Although he cannot develop Mental Power of Sousuke Sagara, he can still tell him some skills in this area.
And once Sousuke Sagara gets used to using his spirit, even if he can't use it without the driving body, if he drives the λ-DRIVER body, it will become ten times a hundred times easier, making it easier for Sousuke Sagara to use the true power of λ-DRIVER.
At the beginning, Sousuke Sagara was required by Xiao Ran to carry out activities in his base for half an hour every Tiandu blindfolded. At the beginning, Sousuke Sagara, who was not used to it, also They often bumped into each other here and there in the stronghold, or accidentally fell to the ground. Under the eyes of Cruz and Melissa·Mao, they stubbornly followed Xiao Ran's arrangements.
Cruz, who was watching the show, would take this opportunity to play tricks on Sousuke Sagara. He would suddenly put his foot in front of Sousuke Sagara and watch Sousuke Sagara cover his mouth and snicker after he fell.
But half a month later, Sousuke Sagara was able to carry out normal activities in the stronghold while blindfolded. Cruz would still take this opportunity to continue to tease Sousuke Sagara every day, but gradually found that it was becoming more and more difficult to tease Sousuke Sagara.
Because Sousuke Sagara has gradually become accustomed to such darkness, sometimes the outstretched feet cannot catch the opponent at all, but will be deliberately stepped down by Sousuke Sagara with an expressionless face. As a well-trained warrior, with Xiao Ran Once you get used to what teaches every day, you will quickly become proficient in it. You will also become more keen under the daily teasing of Cruz and the whipping of Xiao Ran, but in the end it can only reach this level.
After all, Sousuke Sagara is not like Xiao Ran who can truly convert the spirit into other things and release it. Even Xiao Ran's best skill, Spirit Burst, cannot learn the self-enhancement technique. However, This does not prevent the first phase of training from being declared completed. At least it allows Sousuke Sagara to understand how to feel and perceive, and more importantly, learn how to truly concentrate. This is something that can't be helped. It is impossible not to be highly concentrated when being bullied blindfolded every day.
The second step of training is not so casual. It is to let Sousuke Sagara really use λ-DRIVER flexibly. Because it requires the use of AS, it is impossible to do it casually. Moreover, Sousuke Sagara is also responsible for the daily protection actions of Chidori, so there is no way for the new training to be carried out every time Tiandu.
To this end, the Mithril Westpac team also rented an abandoned factory near Chofu City, and asked Sousuke Sagara and Cruz to turn on ECS one night and send the two ASs there. The second step was not something that Xiao Ran could just guide. The only one who could really make a difference was Sousuke Sagara himself.
Xiao Ran could only tell him what he knew about λ-DRIVER, and even brought Chidori, a confused whisperer, as a real guide. At some point, he would personally drive the M9 into battle to force Sousuke Sagara to use λ-DRIVER.
Time passes slowly in such daily life, maybe because I remember the feeling at that time on the base island, or because of the knowledge about λ-DRIVER that Xiao Ran said, or because of the usage methods Chidori said in a daze, or because of the habit gained from frequent use.
In short, Sousuke Sagara is definitely more skilled in the use of λ-DRIVER than at the same time in the plot. Xiao Ran even told Sousuke Sagara that λ-DRIVER can not only be used as an external force, but also can greatly improve the performance of the body itself, violating the rules of physics to a certain extent.
For example, improving flexibility, changing the weight of the machine body, enhancing the body's defense capabilities, etc., and even letting Sousuke Sagara drive a crossbow to jump on ordinary wooden stakes. As many wooden stakes as you step on, you will be punished to master the λ-DRIVER. There are also actual confrontations with Xiao Ran, and direct guidance from Piloting Skill. Over a period of time, Sousuke Sagara's growth can be said to be huge.
And because of the time and the burden that using λ-DRIVER will put on the pilot, in fact, there are only two opportunities to use λ-DRIVER a week at most, and the other training time is just for normal training guidance.
During these times, Sousuke Sagara, Cruz and Melissa·Mao did not always stay in Chofu City. The three of them also went out to perform several missions due to the arrangements of Mithril. At this time, the task of protecting Chidori would all be placed on the head of Xiao Ran.
It was quite unaccustomed to get up early with Chidori, and had to ask Chidori to help with breakfast and dinner. In the meantime, he would drive Chidori to school personally, and then watch Chidori after school. Of course, in normal life, Xiao Ran would still take off that conspicuous mask. For a long time, the role of Xiao Ran's mask was no longer just to hide his identity, but to hide his pupils that shone with golden light when he was in the reformer state.
It wasn't until Sousuke Sagara returned to Chidori alone and made a big noise in the school again that Xiao Ran finally took the time to hand over the task of protecting Chidori to Sousuke Sagara again. At this time, Main Mission only had half a month left.
The closer Xiao Ran got to the last moment, the more serious he became, and the contact with Luo and El-Elf became more frequent. The three of them probably knew it all. After Main Mission calmly searched for and protected the Whisperer, the next Main Mission might also make an appearance for all the participants.
Just when Xiao Ran contacted Luo and asked how the manufacturing of Luo's new machine and the renovation project of Hell Monarch were completed, he suddenly heard a gentle movement outside the door, which instantly made him stop what he was saying. He hung up the phone decisively, pulled out a pistol from the gap in the sofa, and ran to the front door in two or three steps.
After listening to the noise outside the door, Xiao Ran opened the door and instantly raised the gun in his hand. In front of him, the dark muzzle of the gun was also aimed at him.
After Xiao Ran saw the person outside the door clearly, he was stunned for a moment and took back the gun in his hand. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the uninvited guest with a slightly raised corner of his mouth. "Colonel Tessa, are you bringing a gift to me?"
Appearing outside the Xiao Ran stronghold was the sixteen-year-old Tessa, the commander of the Mithril West Pacific Team. At this time, Tessa looked a little embarrassed. Her beautiful little suit was covered in dust, and her short skirt was frayed in many places. Her white legs were also a little green and red, and her silver-white hair seemed to be dyed with a layer of black, including her face. She looked like she had fled.
Beside Tessa, a young man wearing a hospital gown and handcuffs was lying on the ground unconscious.
Xiao Ran looked at Tessa's situation at this time, and saw the young man in handcuffs. Without saying a word, he picked up the unconscious boy and turned around and walked back to the room. "Come in, close the door."
"Thank you, Mr. Alex." Tessa followed Xiao Ran into the room, bent slightly towards Xiao Ran, and said, "I'm sorry for causing you extra trouble, but now I can only ask for your help."
"It doesn't matter. We are in the cooperation stage now. If you can help me, please tell me." Xiao Ran shook his head, glanced at the boy who was still sleeping, and took out a brand new set of clothes and towels from a cabinet in the bedroom and threw them to Tessa: "Let's clean the clothes first and talk about it later if anything happens."
Tessa blankly took what Xiao Ran threw, then looked down at her sloppy appearance, and smiled apologetically, "Excuse me for disturbing you."
"The bathroom is over there, go." Xiao Ran waved his hand. After Tessa entered the bathroom with clothes and towels, she sat down on the sofa and frowned slightly. She began to look through her memories carefully, and she quickly figured out what happened.
"I almost forgot. The AS equipped with λ-DRIVER seems to have appeared in this incident."
