The Young Dragon’s Test Draws a Crowd

Amiya was extremely curious—she wanted to watch Kanna's operator test.

However, Kal'tsit had assigned her "academic" tasks that were still unfinished.

She thought for a moment and turned to look at her "teacher," Closure.

As the leader of Rhodes Island, Amiya didn't necessarily need to be proficient in engineering, but Kal'tsit still wanted her to have a solid foundation in the subject.

This was to ensure that during future operations, if she encountered situations requiring the use of engineering devices or technical decision-making, she wouldn't be completely clueless.

In Kal'tsit's words, she didn't expect Amiya to be an all-around genius, but she also didn't want her to have obvious weaknesses—because those could lead to critical mistakes in command, potentially resulting in failure or even the loss of her own life.

Closure was the "engineering" teacher that Kal'tsit had assigned to Amiya.

Closure flashed a playful smile, revealing her signature tiger teeth.

"Don't look at me like that. You know that if you don't finish Kal'tsit's assignments, the consequences will be serious."

Hearing Closure's words, Amiya's ears drooped sadly—disappointed that she couldn't satisfy her curiosity.

"However…" Closure's tone suddenly changed, as if she had just come up with a way to help the little bunny get what she wanted.

"Kal'tsit only said I needed to teach you engineering concepts—she didn't specify how to teach. Let me think… Hmm… Since adjusting the training grounds is part of the Engineering Department's responsibilities, our next lesson will be learning how to calibrate and control the training area's equipment!"

As soon as Amiya realized this meant she'd be able to watch the operator test, she excitedly hugged Closure.

"I knew you were the best, Closure!"

"Hey, hey! I'm covered in grease—don't rub up against me!"

Ever since Amiya was declared Rhodes Island's "leader," Kal'tsit had rarely used her authority to conduct special operator evaluations.

This kind of situation was so rare that even Closure herself was quite curious about it.

And since the little bunny's desire to watch the test was written all over her face, Closure saw an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone—not only satisfying her own curiosity but also giving Amiya a small favor.

When Kal'tsit saw Closure and Amiya entering the control room of the testing area, she wasn't surprised at all.

She knew exactly what kind of person her chief engineer was and had already anticipated this outcome when preparing the evaluation.

"You're just in time. Closure, you'll be responsible for managing the test area. Amiya, I want you to assess Kanna's performance and combat style to determine the most suitable position for her."

Upon hearing Kal'tsit's instructions, Closure left the control room and entered the testing area to make the necessary arrangements, while Amiya took a seat beside Kal'tsit at the main observation deck.

Once Closure had finished setting up the testing area, Kal'tsit sent a message to Aak, instructing him to bring Kanna to the testing site.

Meanwhile, other observation decks had quickly filled up with spectators.

Among them were Outcast and the entire Misery squad, elite operators Ace and Scout, and several operators from the cafeteria who had witnessed Kanna's astonishing appetite.

Additionally, many were simply curious about this rare special operator recruitment.

Dozens of people had gathered, packing the observation decks completely.

On the other side, after receiving Kal'tsit's message, Aak led Kanna to the entrance of the testing grounds.

"Kanna-chan, once you go inside, there will be a loudspeaker not far from the entrance. Kal'tsit-sensei will be giving you instructions through it. If you're unsure about what to do, just follow the speaker's commands, okay?"
