Chapter 886: Birdie: Can You Keep Up with My Speed?

"I repeat, you've gone beyond the designated position!"

Asuka flew faster and faster, pushing the propulsion system almost to its limit.

The incredible sensation left him exhilarated.

[You want to sparkle too?]

[Are they finally going to explain SEED in detail?]

[It shouldn't be as mystical as Newtypes, right?]

[Mu's spatial awareness is probably closer to that.]

[I haven't seen Universal Century. I'm completely lost.]

[CE is its own universe. The old-timers above are just geeking out. You don't need to watch it.]

[It's still awesome, though.]

"Hm...?"

Durandal sensed that something was wrong.

Just then, someone appeared on the screen.

"No good. That kid's flying too fast. We can't keep up at all. Even this modified Mobius can't match that thing's speed."

It was Mu.

He wasn't piloting a Gundam. He was in a Mobile Armor.

More precisely, he was in a civilian-model Mobius modified for extreme acceleration.

"Asuka! Asuka! Asuka!" Luna Maria shouted.

"What's going on?!"

The entire control room descended into chaos.

Fortunately, everyone there was an expert, and they soon regained their composure.

"The Radiant Communicator maximizes a SEED user's abilities and expands their senses. Under those conditions, their reaction speed improves dramatically," Inori Yuzuriha said. "So the pilot feels as though time has slowed down."

"So that's why Asuka seems so strange?" Luna Maria breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought he'd become a completely different person."

"Hmm..." Inori Yuzuriha considered it. "Could it be Transsexual Consciousness? But that system shouldn't have—"

Inori Yuzuriha closed her eyes.

Then she took control of the surrounding computers.

[Transsexual?]

[TS!]

[Gender swap!]

[I know you're joking, but that word doesn't mean that here. It can refer to a change in a property.]

[Personality Deviation?]

[Oh, that's a good translation.]

A single term sent the viewers into a debate.
