Sage. London, Military Hangar. Hour after Post-Test, July, 10
Firstly. The boy is a natural flyer. Feels like he's has been flying all his life.
Secondly. After the test, detected multiple weird readings and energy spikes in electric circuits and had to change lots of electronic equipment to quantum analogs after the test. Changed electronic co-processors to s analogs from R&D storage. Also, will have to do something about radar and sensor arrays, they burned to a crisp or were non-responsive. Not that Harry uses them, it's like he feels the opponent without using the Hyper Sensor, but I will need to see everything around him in order to adapt to his combat skills. Next time, medium-range, low-energy LIDAR should work better, paired with manned targeting lasers for long-range combat. But what about other sensors?
Quantum devices are a completely different story, however. Somehow some of them are working faster and the quantum booster went into overdrive right after the opponent's near hit.
Propulsion and hard light materialization are different issues, however. Detected work of engines at 130% for one of the evasion moves and I was not manually overclocking it. Next time, when I tried to get us higher, the engine only reached 64%. Both times felt like I was not in direct control.
Strange reaction from supposedly offline ECG: it somehow influenced a deployed cannon making it temporally defective, but at the same time my deployed shield stopped the enemy sword almost without taking any damage.
ECG itself was not allowed in this battle, so can't say what to expect from hexagon-shield, energy grenades, illusions, or any other ECG-created utilities. I'm afraid the pilot will affect ECG in some dangerous way.
Still, there is no doubt in my mind that Harry is the best. Even with low shields and no training, he managed to evade Chifuyu Orimura, winner of the competition for a complete 20 minutes.
Formed another report. Looks like Tabane wanted me in the boy's possession no matter what. The research facility representative signed top-secret documents without questions. Looks like they already received something else. The fact that I'm a failed experiment and that nobody will search for my records is an advantage. Of course, I received orders to load research equipment instead of Presets and Neural Link along with the Neural Scanner instead of Hyper Sensor, while at the same time having to block numerous 'offense' functions.
It also seems like there is something wrong with the radio communication devices? The network range should be 20 times bigger!
Harry Potter. Testing area. Test. July, 10
Flying felt great. He felt secure, safe, and most importantly of all, free.
Even a certain Mondo Grosso champion could not change this. The great view of the rainforest from above and fixed vision were helping a lot. Harry felt some kind of inner peace and union up in the sky.
Unfortunately, Harry Potter needed to win or at least keep intact as long as humanly possible to be able to experience these feelings in the future. He needed to qualify as a potential pilot. He cannot lose this chance. Losing is not acceptable. And so, feeling the urge to not lose he deployed a cannon.
Chifuyu Orimura. Arena. Post-Test. July, 10
This should have been a normal test - evaluate the ability and then put the candidate a few pegs down. It would have done no good to wipe the floor with the boy just because he is not accustomed to insane speeds and acceleration, so I reduced most of the parameters and prepared for battle. Testing any normal candidate who never knew combat or any form of training should have been a piece of cake in my opinion. But there was one mistake in my judgment.
This boy is anything but normal.
You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
I had no such problems before the longest duel was 7 minutes long. But this boy kept evading me like it was nothing. Worse, he was evading long before his computer could track me, and the boy was doing it gracefully. Does he even know about the ballistic computer?
I was performing PIC-6G turns and PIC-4G accelerations - the limit of my current settings. Attacking from above, behind, front... Even 'cheated' with invisibility. To no avail. His ability with Hyper Sensors is concerning.
Then the boy deployed a gun. (Was it malfunctioning? It was not working for a few seconds. Strange.) The boy's shooting would have been pathetic and inaccurate, if not for the fact that he knew where to shoot, and even got a few lucky shots. How did he keep tracking me? There were no lock warnings!
The last boy's mistake was to use a shield, since my sword supposedly was unblockable, not that he knew it. Supposedly...
How the hell did a standard titanium shield survived the first swing and slowed down the second is beyond me. And he managed to damage my shield! The moment before his shield failed to my swing, he made a point-blank shot with a quantum accelerator rifle. It took 43SU in one shot! 43SU damage from a standard rifle with a maximum damage of 9SU per shot. At that point, half of my energy was already drained by my sword.
He just needs a bit more training with guns, some combat experience, and full sync with IS...
He will be a monster, and I will see to that!
two black haired people. Arena. minutes before the Test. July, 10
"This reality is going to be so fun to see how it develops considering the changes I already made to it and to see what you think of your old home my little circle," said a teen with black hair that reaches to his shoulder blades wearing, worn blue jeans without any tares, a black shirt, glasses, and a black zip-up jacket with a hoodie that is sitting down next to a little 8-year-old girl with very similar clothing to the teen except her jeans were black and her hair only reached down to her shoulders.
Both now looking at the arena covered in a biome that looked like a rainforest "Dad why did you bring me back here I don't like it here and I don't want to be near the one who abandoned me I want to be back home, hug mama Gorgon, and sleep with jack nee-chan." The teen head patting the now pouting girl "I understand what you mean but I brought you here because even do you feel that you were wronged, and practically nobody knows you exist I want you to know that it doesn't matter because you shouldn't care because you don't have any more actual permanent ties that connect you back here and because I know from the shows you like and the books you ask me to read to you before you go to sleep you would find this place interesting, then there's the fact I don't want you to become a gothic revenge obsessed sadist like other versions of yourself so instead I'm trying to teach you how to be indifferent plus the mere fact that I know you will probably enjoy it when I tell you of the two were here to see fight."
The child still pouting said "Fine but you have to make beef stew tomorrow and we can see Monty python in the afternoon." Chuckling a bit, he replied "Ok but look there about to start soon." Handing the girl binoculars.
narrator pov. Arena. July 10
A battle test was about to commence between the world's first male IS pilot Harry Potter and the first pilot of an IS and current champion Chifuyu Orimura.
From opposite sides of the arena, they both came out flying over the canopy of trees and quickly started the fight with only a few words fitting enough to describe the fight between this nearly perfect human with years of experience flying the IS and this nearly 11-year-old child that is flying for the first time yet is fighting to keep his final hope and fight he did. Dodging attacks that came in great speed he was still in great condition until the attacks came in faster. The kid feeling, he might lose wished the engines would move faster now being capable of dodging the constant unending attacks some even appearing out of nowhere he thought it was time to fight since the engines started to slow down. Deploying a rifle, he kept dodging and trying to shoot at Chifuyu but nothing would come out he even thought I might not have ammo until it began to shoot. And with the aim that would have most people scream out aimbot, he got in several hits until he was out of ammo now deploying his shield his last form of defense and weapon he just wished to be able to last long enough by blocking Orimura's sword until finally 5 minutes later the fight had ended.
