Chapter 820 - Pilot Test (1/2)

It had been a month since his stay in this world and before he entered IS Academy, he needed to have his pilot ability tested at the testing location before he entered the academy.

Haru woke up in the early morning and started to wear his clothes.

Hikaruno who was sleeping on his bed n.a.k.e.d opened her eyes slowly and looked at him who was wearing very neat clothes different from his usual rough style since he usually only wore a t-shirt. ”Huh? Haru, where are you going?” She yawned and felt a bit tired after last night's activity, but when she saw that he was about to go somewhere she became curious and wondered whether he would go somewhere.

”I have an IS pilot test since I'm about to enter IS Academy.”

Hikaruno raised her eyebrow and asked, ”You're going to the academy?”

”Yeah.”

Haru nodded and looked at her. He sighed inwardly since he didn't intend to be serious with this woman, but he knew that it was hard to not get serious, especially when he had taken her first time.

Hikaruno smiled and stood up before pushing his back. ”Then you should go! You can't make them wait, right?”

”I'll go now.”

Haru kissed her lips and said, ”I've prepared breakfast for you. You can warm it up later.” He went out of his room and decided to go to the test's location directly since if he stayed any longer then he would start another round with her.

Haru had to admit that he might have a soft spot for a beautiful scientist.

When the door was closed once again, Hikaruno laid on his bed once again and didn't dare to ask whether he could stay with her forever since she had a feeling what his answer was. She took his shirt and hugged it tightly. She knew it from the beginning, but she really wanted to try whether it was possible to change his mind.

Haru usually wore a gakuran, but this time, his appearance was different from before since he decided to be more polite. He was being guided by the staff and went to the test location.

”Kasugano-san, your test is pretty simple. You only need to fight against the instructor in the arena.”

Haru nodded and asked, ”So I don't need to win?”

”No, what you need to do is just to show your best ability.”

The staff nodded with a smile since she knew that Haru was a newbie at piloting an IS, but as long as, he learned on the academy later then it was possible to become stronger.

”You can follow me now. You can also see your fellow male IS pilot inside this place too.”

Haru was a bit surprised since he didn't expect that he would able to meet Orimura Ichika, but he felt that this was quite normal when he thought that he had also met Kisaragi Hayato in the past almost in the same way.

Entering the test location, Haru saw a young man who was sitting on his seat with a somewhat clueless expression.

”Ano... when is the test going to start?”

The young man who saw the staff asked unsurely since he had been here for a long time. He was quite surprised when he saw Haru since he had also seen him on the television before.

”The test is going to start soon. Both of you can get to know each other while we prepare for the test.”

Haru nodded and walked toward the protagonist of this world.

”Hello, my name is Kasugano Haruka.”

”Orimura Ichika. Nice to meet you.” Orimura smiled and sighed. ”I'm glad that I'm not the only male IS pilot in this world.”

”Hoh? Shouldn't you feel conflicted since you won't be able to hog all of the girls in the IS academy?”

Haru thought to test Ichika to see what kind of harem protagonist this young man was.

”Huh? What are you talking about?” Ichika seemed confused by Haru's words.

”........”

Haru was speechless by Ichika's response.

Dense protagonist.

Haru could see clearly that this guy was a very dense protagonist. He wouldn't be surprised if this guy didn't understand the difference between males and females.

”Can I call you Ichika? Since both of us are the only male IS pilots in this world, then we should know each other better. You can call me Haru.”

”Yes, then, I'll call you Haru.”

Ichika was glad that Haru was a very friendly guy and it didn't take them a long time before they knew each other.

Haru heard Ichika complain about a lot of things since Ichika couldn't comprehend his situation where he had become one of the two male IS pilots. He only listened patiently and though this guy couldn't understand how many guys would be willing to change his place to enter IS Academy since it was filled with a lot of beautiful girls.

”Orimura Ichika-kun, please follow us to start your test first.”

”Y - Yes!”

Ichika was a bit nervous, but his shoulder was patted.

”Good luck.” Haru gave him a thumbs up.

Ichika smiled and felt calmer. ”I'll go first.”

Haru nodded and decided to watch Ichika's ability to pilot IS. He had piloted IS before and frankly, it was easier than he had thought. He waited for a while and saw that Ichika had come out to the arena while using a mass-produced IS model ”Uchigane”.

”Uchigane” is a highly-rated 2nd generation frame. As a defensive model, it focuses on stability and is easy to use for beginners as a training model for the Students. The design is basically meant to look like an armored samurai while wielding a quite large katana on its hands.

Haru saw that the instructor from the academy also came out from the arena and also used the same type of IS.

It is very rare for someone to own personal IS and only the representative of each country and organization who is able to own it.

However, he was lucky that he could own it as soon as possible since there were only 467 IS cores that were created in this world and he had stolen some of them which decreased the number of IS cores in this world.

Haru had researched IS Cores, but he really couldn't comprehend how Shinonono Tabane was able to create IS Cores. He thought that he needed time to learn more about it.

While he was thinking the match between Ichika and the instructor had started, he watched the instructor charge directly to Ichika.
