As expected, yet still surprising, Harrison rk won the championship in short-distance sprinting and once again broke the historical record by a significant margin.
After his performance, the referees had already prepared the statistics from his previous twopetitions.
He was far ahead of thebined scores of the second ce, leaving no chance for others to catch up.
The atmosphere at the ck Bear Training Base was naturally jubnt, but Harrison seemed unaffected, his face calm.
Anyway, they would all die in a year, with less than a year left for the entire civilization. What would it matter if he left a historical record?
He didnt feel particrly desperate or sad about it. After all, he had already died three times and was bing numb to the ups and downs of emotions this entails.
Still, the enthusiastic crowd came to congratte him, so he decided to show some response by waving his hand and giving a perfunctory smile.
Daniel Thompson saw Harrisons reluctant smile and thought he was tired. Daniel rushed forward through the crowd, Make way, make way. Harrison did so well in two consecutive rounds that he must be exhausted. Please let him rest.
Harrison raised his hand to stop Daniel, Dont worry, Im fine. I didnt use a single peak eleration, so I wasnt exhausted at all.
Everyone:
Thats a bit much.
Showing off too much!
You improved the historical record by eighty percent, and yet you said it wasnt that hard for you?
Well, its a pity theres only one chance. Normally, in events like long jump, isnt it three attempts and the highest score counts? If theyd let me try again, I could have improved by another thirty percent.
Professor Owen couldnt stand Harrisons excessive bragging and dragged him to the monitoring equipment, pointing at the huge 22G on it, You didnt use peak eleration? You used at least twenty 22Gs! You elerated with 22G and then decelerated with 22G. If this were a real machine and not a simtor, you would be a meat paste now!
Harrison retorted, Arent real machines supposed to be injected with serum?
Professor Owen was suddenly speechless.
Everyone was shocked and speechless.
In the long-distance runningpetition, most participants managed to handle at least 12GS of eleration, but for the short-distance sprint, no one had ever managed to reach a full 12G.
Thats because they didnt want to overshoot and lower their scores.
However, Harrison used a staggering number of 22GS but managed to control it so well, keeping the distance with precision.
Theres only one exnation: his timing in choosing when to elerate and decelerate was absolutely perfect.
But for him to im that he could still improve by thirty percent, dont people have to follow some basic rules when bragging?
Harrison was puzzled and asked Professor Owen, Who told you that 22G is my limit?
Professor Owen: Huh?
The conversation had derailed, and it couldnt be stopped.
If Harrisons tone had been more braggy when he said that, it wouldnt have been so jarring.
But he appeared calm, showing no signs of arrogance, yet his words were hard to ept, causingplete cognitive dissonance.
Silence.
A deathly silence fills therge training hall.
Not to mention the senior reserve soldiers preparing topete, even elite coaches like Daniel Thompson began to doubt themselves.
Who are we?
Where are we?
What are we doing?
Whats the purpose of all the hard training weve endured?
Harrisons record-breaking performance was discouraging rather than inspiring.
Fortunately, there was no live broadcast of anything other than thepetition itself, or Harrison might have been cklisted by the entire army.
Harrison,e here for a moment.
Unable to watch any longer, Nora Camp stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder, calling him over.
Harrison had been keeping an eye on this attractive woman all along.
No matter what, seeing such a smartly dressed,manding, and beautiful female soldier in a military base brimming with masculinity was a pleasure, both visually and mentally.He raised the corner of his mouth, intending to crack a harmless joke.
But then his expression froze.
On this girls shoulder badge, there were tassels, and such a huge five-pointed star!
Its even gilded!
Wait, let me think, let me calmly ponder for a moment.
If I remember correctly, this shoulder badge means that shes a Major General!
And, inside the whole ck Bear Training Base, theres only one Major General with the highest military rank.
So it means that I was just teasing the devilish big boss of the entire base mentioned by Lion, the General herself?
Harrison rk felt he was in trouble.
He couldnt believe that the person who even made Lion nervous the person in charge of the base turned out to be a delicate looking big girl.
But when Harrison rk took a closer look at Nora Camp, he thought that she wasnt exactly delicate, with her sword-shaped eyebrows and slightly pointed chin, giving her an imposing presence.
As she stood there, despite having a satisfied smile on her face, she radiated an aura of authority without even getting angry.
Oh, alright.
On the surface he appeared calm, but inside he was anxious as he followed Nora Camp out of the Training Building for the time being.
Nora Camp didnt scold him, though. She just told the staff to arrange a suitable nutritious meal for him, and then she sat down with her hands crossed, smiling as she watched him eat.
Your next event is obstacle sprinting. Its different from the shuttle run. Obstacle sprinting tests your ability to change direction left and right. Eating too much can cause stomach difort.
Thank you very much.
The more he spoke, the more mistakes hed make. The safest approach now was to speak less and not give the General any chances to unleash her wrath.
But Nora Camp didnt n to let him off that easily. By the way, you mentioned earlier that you wanted to submit a report to follow me?
Hahaha, just a joke. Dont worry about those details, and Im already with you right now, right?
Nora Camp nodded, In a certain sense, yes. But I hope that the level of following me will not be limited to this.
Harrison rk asked in confusion, Im sorry, General, I dont understand what you mean.
Its fine, dont worry. Lets talk about it after yourpetition. Hmm, lets wait until you get the first ce. Ill go and report your daily training situation to the leaders first.
Looking at her mysterious demeanor, Harrison rk thought that since there was a rule allowing those who won the top too ces to choose their own serving battleship, the Major General might hope that he would join her battleship.
Harrison rk had no opinion on this.
He wasnt nning to mindlessly choose her battleship just because Nora Camp was pretty.bender
He still nned to stick to his principles, considering everything for the sake of his survival time.
The longer he could live, the more information he could see.
At the moment, all of Harrison rks preparations wouldnt yield results until the veryst moment.
About an hourter, he emerged from the simtor once again.
Without the slightest suspense, he still won the first ce in the T800 Group overwhelmingly, while also raising the historical record by a full 1.2 times.
He really wasnt bragging.
This time, his highest eleration parameter was 23G.
The other neen experts in his group no longer expected to win the first ce in this round ofpetition. Instead, they were grateful to Harrison rk.
It was precisely because of the existence of such an inhuman figure that they were able to fully unleash their potential, breaking their own personal records, and suddenly increasing their hopes of being at the top in thisrge-scale militarypetition.
Now there were only two events left.
Spacebat in zero gravity conditions and groundbat in a rtively small indoor environment.
Logically, people shouldnt be optimistic about Harrison rk at this point.
Even if his progress before this was horrifying, actualbat and skill training werepletely different.
But many people didnt dare to voice their doubts, because their intuition told them that some geniuses really dont need to reason..
