Now the main problem is Arm-Slaves and tanks. I could not hack them. They had an autonomous system. Only communication tools in there that connected to the network. Kuroko could only hack communication network there.

But with his hacking skill, he found one unused arm-slave in hangar Z, he found the guide to operate them when hacking the main computer. With his academy talent stats reached 72, he could study it easily. When his academic talent stats reached 50, he got ability "Photographic memory"

Actually, the word Arm Slave came from "Armored Mobile Master-Slave System," but that was simply too long to be practical.

Mechanical Assault Trooper (AS)

Arm Slave usually 26' or more in height, an armed and armored attack weapon patterned after the human body.

He rushed toward Hangar Z and entered the arm-slave. With his misdirection, he could not be detected.

Looking around the hangar, Kuroko saw a line of large humanoid machines, three in all. The khaki-colored, long-armed mechs were about the same height as a three-story house.

Kuroko ran to the feet of an AS and started to climb the ladder to its cockpit.

Climbing onto the shoulder of the AS, Kuroko pulled the cockpit hatch release lever, pleased with the familiar pneumatic hiss.

The head of the AS slid open, revealing a cockpit just large enough to hold one person.

Also known as the Master Room, the cockpit read the pilot's movements and conveyed them to the mech, converting the master's small movements to a much larger scale. A person's movements had to be very controlled: If the pilot bent an elbow ten degrees, the AS might bend thirty. Nearly every AS operated this way.

Kuroko pressed a button, and another hiss signaled the closing of the hatch. The internal frame locked, and various metal gears shifted into place.

A monochrome screen lit up in front of Kuroko's face, characters flashing across it in a line.

"Cockpit block: closed. Master suite: initiating adjustment."

There was no time to lose. Kuroko skillfully operated the buttons on the control stick, initiating the startup procedures.

"Action mode: four. Bilateral angle: two point eight to three point four."

Looking at one of Active Arm Slave, The men outside began to fire at the hangar, boring countless holes in the walls.

"Large-caliber bullets. That's strange thought they were just using armored vehicles out there."

"Main generator: ignition. Main condenser: charging."

The power-supply vehicle suddenly exploded into flames. Then, Kuroko heard the distinct sound of approaching footsteps-very heavy footsteps.

It's an AS. Not good.

"All vehicle electronics: forced startup. All actuators: forced connections. Final startup checks all abridged."

"Just go!" The remarkably slow boot-up speed on the Russian made computer irritated Kuroko. Just then, an AS walked in, coming through the hangar door, which had been torn off completely.

The machine's red eyes looked toward Kuroko.

"Joint locks: executing the forced release."

"Hurry up ... "

Having spotted Kuroko, the enemy AS pointed its giant rifle.

It was going to shoot in a hurry.

"Combat maneuvers: open."

Bam!

The rifle fired at almost exactly the same time Kuroko ducked.

The bullets barely missed.

The maneuver bought Kuroko just enough time to rush forward, swat the enemy's rifle aside, and land a mean shoulder charge.

The enemy Savage stumbled backward, crashing through concrete as if it were made of paper.

Picking up the rifle, Kuroko checked its remaining ammo.

Then, he pointed it at the enemy mech.

"Entering combat," he mumbled to no one in particular before pulling the trigger.

"Good. But after this, I will make a new mecha better than this AS. It is GUNDAM"

Kuroko's AS moved with the speed, grace, and coordination of an Olympic gymnast.

Next, the AS walked through the hole in the wall and expertly annihilated the armored vehicles waiting outside.

Everyone could see only flashes of light, smoke, and intermittent explosions.

In the blind spot behind Kuroko, on the right-hand side of the building, another enemy AS appeared.

"Bang"

Kuroko's AS had fired the rifle over its shoulder.

Kuroko searched for his next opponent. There was not a hint of nervousness or uncertainty in his fighting style. The AS movements were so smooth.

Then he saw two tanks heading their way from beyond the runway, the gun turrets slowly turning. They were about to get bombarded.
