12-Year-Old MS Genius Pilot

The Oni Yasha's head, hands, and legs were dismembered by the Gp01 in an instant.

Zoshan Taro stared in horror at the screen, where the Gp01 Gundam White Orchid was raising its Beam Saber, preparing to slice him and the Oni Yasha MS in half.

"Stop! I want to keep this MS and take it back for research," Long Fei commanded the pilot of the Gundam White Orchid.

Zoshan Taro, seeing that the Beam Saber had missed him by a hair's breadth, slumped into his pilot's seat, gasping to calm his inner fear. He had thought he was dead. He raised his hands, looking at his trembling limbs, and knew that although he was alive, he felt immense pain because he had been utterly defeated.

Several signal flares were then fired from the abandoned space transfer station.

Following that, a notification came from the command center of the abandoned space transfer station: the Skywing Mercenary Group officially declared their occupation of the abandoned space transfer station.

Captain Fix also announced that the Sea Wolf Pirate Group's leader, Zoshan Taro, had been captured. He ordered the remaining pirates to disarm and surrender.

"Those who surrender will live. Those who do not will die."

Not a single pirate continued to resist; all were disarmed and surrendered.

Except for Zoshan Taro, all the pirates were arranged in several modified spacecraft.

Long Fei and the other Gundam pilots returned to the mothership.

Inside the hangar bay of the Albion MS mothership, all the Gundam pilots stood in a line, saluting Long Fei.

Among them, the most eye-catching figure was not Long Fei, but the pilot of the Gundam White Orchid, a 12-year-old child named Yue Yangchun.

Why would a child like Yue Yangchun become a Gundam pilot? This all started about a month ago.

At that time, an escort ship that had completed its mission returned, bringing back a small airship.

According to the captain, they had received a distress signal and rescued the people aboard while returning to base.

It was learned that the owner of the small airship had been hijacked by pirates. Most of the people were traveling to other colonies on a tourist spaceship when they were intercepted, hijacked, and kidnapped by a pirate group.

Among these people were Yue Yangchun and his older sister, Yue Baixue. They were also from the Hanxia Nation.

The siblings had gone on a trip with their parents. Like the others, they were traveling on a space tourism ship when they were hijacked and kidnapped by a pirate group.

The pirates' objective in hijacking people was ransom.

If they couldn't get the ransom, they would sell the people to organ trafficking or human trafficking organizations for profit.

Yue Yangchun and his family, along with some other kidnapped individuals, took advantage of a moment when the guards were not paying attention, killed them, and seized the opportunity to escape.

During their escape, they were discovered by other pirates. Many were either recaptured by the pirates or died under gunfire. Yue Yangchun's parents sacrificed themselves to allow the siblings to escape.

The siblings and the remaining survivors boarded a small airship and fled, which led to the escort ship receiving their distress signal and rescuing them.

Initially, the Skywing Mercenary Group prepared to contact the countries of these kidnapped individuals and arrange for their repatriation.

Yue Yangchun, however, first requested that the Skywing Mercenary Group eliminate the pirate group that had killed his parents.

As a private mercenary group, the Skywing Mercenary Group did not accept such unpaid volunteer work. Moreover, who would pay attention to a request made by a child?

Seeing that the mercenary group had not agreed to his request, Yue Yangchun eventually sneaked into the cockpit of the newly developed Gp01 Gundam White Orchid without anyone noticing. To everyone's surprise, he managed to activate the Gundam without any guidance.

He even piloted the Gundam White Orchid away, intending to avenge his parents. The base immediately sounded its alarm.

As he rushed out of the base, he encountered another escort ship that was also returning.

The MS from the escort ship immediately launched to intercept him.

While controlling the Gundam White Orchid, Yue Yangchun gradually mastered its performance. Under his control, none of the GM Mobile Suits that were dispatched to intercept him could stop him.

Following that, several MS units also rushed out from the base.

However, Yue Yangchun had already outdistanced all of them.

Finally, the Zhou Ya sisters launched a joint attack. After several rounds, the two sisters managed to intercept Yue Yangchun and escort him back to the base.

When Yue Yangchun was dragged out of the cockpit by several mercenaries, many onlookers were in disbelief. A child possessed such high-level piloting skills that it required two Ace Pilots to capture him.

His older sister, Yue Baixue, pushed through the crowd and ran to her brother's side. Like a mother hen protecting her chick, she pleaded with the mercenaries for forgiveness and apologized on behalf of her brother for his recklessness.

Zhou Ya, who was often sharp-tongued, said, "If apologies were useful, what would be the point of laws? What your brother did just now, in other countries, the military would have the direct right to open fire. If they were a bit more civilized, they would send your brother to a military court to be sentenced to death."

"But he's still a child."

"Does being a child mean he can do whatever he wants? Does being a child mean he can disregard the safety of others and act on his own impulses?"

Yue Baixue was momentarily speechless and could only hold her brother tighter. Yue Yangchun's eyes were full of stubbornness.

At this moment, Long Fei arrived at the scene, with someone reporting the preceding events in his ear.

"Boss," the mercenaries greeted Long Fei.

Yue Baixue immediately stood in front of her brother, spreading her arms.

Long Fei made a gesture, and two female mercenaries immediately escorted Yue Baixue to the side. Despite her struggles, Yue Baixue could not break free.

Long Fei drew the pistol from his holster and pressed the muzzle against Yue Yangchun's head.

Yue Yangchun continued to look at Long Fei with stubborn eyes.

"Kid, you've got some nerve, stealing and piloting the new Gundam I developed."

"I just wanted revenge. After I got my revenge, I would have returned the MS to you."

"Hmph, even if you stole it and got to your enemy's territory, do you think you could eliminate your enemies with just a pair of Beam Sabers and the head-mounted 60mm Vulcan Cannon? Your enemies aren't just a few kittens. That Gundam, no matter how strong, can't withstand the siege of a group of MS. You going there would just be suicide; you wouldn't be able to avenge your parents."

Yue Yangchun listened to Long Fei's rebuttal and was momentarily speechless. However, his stubborn gaze remained fixed on Long Fei, revealing the child's strong will and unconvinced attitude.

"Kid, I can give you two choices. The first is death. The second is to join our Skywing Mercenary Group, pledge your loyalty to me, and work for the Skywing Mercenary Group."

"I can choose the second path, but you must promise to eliminate the pirate group that killed my parents."

"Kid, you actually dare to set conditions for me. But it's fine, I can agree to your condition. However, the prerequisite is that you must work for me properly first. If I'm satisfied, I can agree to your request. What do you say?"

"Okay, I agree."

Long Fei put his handgun back into its holster.

"Commander."

"Here."

"Arrange for relevant professionals to train this kid."

"Yes."

Just as Long Fei was about to return to his office, Yue Baixue protested to him, "How can you let a child join your army?"

"Letting him join my mercenary group is to absolve him of the crime of stealing my MS. Otherwise, I'll shoot him. Or, I'll let you, his older sister, choose whether your brother dies or joins my mercenary group. What do you think?"

Yue Baixue was rendered speechless, not daring to make a decision for her brother.

"I'll give you two choices as well. The first is that we'll arrange for you to return to your country. The second is to stay, and we'll arrange a job for you. We don't keep idlers here."

In the end, Yue Baixue, as the older sister, chose the second option: to stay and look after her brother.

Both siblings joined the Skywing Mercenary Group. The sister was assigned as a regular soldier in logistics, responsible for cooking and delivering meals.

After a period of training, Yue Yangchun's potential as an MS pilot was gradually unearthed. In every battle, he brought the MS Gundam White Orchid back intact, and every sortie resulted in the complete elimination of the enemy.

Afterward, Yue Yangchun was hailed as a genius MS pilot within the mercenary group.

Captain Fix approached Long Fei and saluted.

"Boss, we'll be entering the docking bay within the abandoned space transfer station in 15 minutes. The suppression force also found quite a few good things. I hope you'll come and take a look personally."

"Alright, I understand. I'll go take a look."

"Ace Pilots, you are free to move for now. Get some good rest."
