Ace Of Terrans

Jenkins and Darcx targeted the girls first, men used to think that women are weaker. However, they forgot that Amelia and Quinn were not figments of their imagination. Shi Lang had moved ahead earlier but he did not join the fray, instead swiftly maneuvered himself behind Jenkins and stabbed him in his back.

However, Jenkins had not let down his guard, he quickly turned the direction of his charge in the middle and countered Shi Lang's wooden knife. They both held the weapon in a normal grip. When the two of them clashed, Amelia, moved close to Quinn and stabbed her, however, Quinn parried the attack.

The surrounding soldiers were watching this and thought Darcx held the most advantage, however, in the next movement the situation remained in a stalemate. The surrounding troops did not have any idea of what was happening, but they could tell that these kids were not weak, they were keeping up with the high-speed attacks.

They were fighting with no order or discipline, it was akin to a brawl. Suddenly Rosa Blues said, "Enough."

The five people stopped. Rosa Blues walked over to them and said, "Passed, now go exercise."

The people nodded and they began to do various exercises. The image they needed to create was that they were somewhat capable, so that they were not looked upon like they were wastes, but also not so powerful that they could not be controlled.

Shi Lang wanted this effect on the people so that he could sneak inside slowly. Ameris walked over to Rosa, and asked, "My Lady, why did you stop them?"

Rosa replied, "If this was a real assault situation, they would have died already, after all, the wooden knife is not very strong against the advanced weapons." her voice was solemn.

She paused and without caring about Ameris' expression Rosa continued, "To survive is to have hope, if they have hope to survive a calamity in real life, their chance is higher."

Ameris nodded and asked, "Are you people not from the military?"

Rosa shook her head, as she said, "The knowledge and training in a school are necessary, however, we are not forced to join the army. The purpose is to enable us to protect ourselves in case of an enemy attack. It may seem that the worlds are ruled by a single government, but all the societies have someone, who will try to make things difficult."

As the two ladies talked, Shi Lang and the team focused on their physical exercise. Amelia asked in a low voice, "How to approach?"

Jenkins replied, "Train with these guards, then plant tracking bots onto all of them." in a hushed tone.

Shi Lang asked, "Nice plan, but what if the bots got counter-tracked?"

Quinn said, "Not a problem, women like hygiene. They must take a bath after training and sweat, use the ladies like a vector and the bots like a virus. We need to map out the palace, and not the people."

Darcx was surprised and said, "You surely are like your father. Unite the planets and not rule them."

The three chuckled while Darcx was given a death stare. Shi Lang agreed to the plan and they all stood up after two hundred push-ups. Shi Lang clapped his hands together and asked, "Who will take a lead?"

Jenkins and Darcx took a step to stand beside him and said, "Let the ladies handle it?"

Shi Lang shrugged and by tapping his hands on the communicator, he transferred the bot control to Quinn. She was going to be the first to call out for a challenge. Amelia walked beside Rosa and said in her calm voice, "Instructor, would it be fine if we asked these big sisters to give us some guidance?"

Rosa raised her eyebrow and asked, "Does your team leader approves?"

Athena nodded and said, "Yes, Madam. He does."

Rosa nodded to her and cast a gaze at Shi Lang who gave her an okay signal. The instructor turned her head to look at Ameris, who was standing there, and asked, "Captain, would it be possible to have our girls learn from you veterans?"

Ameris smiled and said, "Certainly. However, I will only arrange it if the boys also play. We Neomonian women are certainly curious about how strong is a Terran Male."

Rosa nodded and said, "Just go easy on them, these guys are competitive."

Ameris nodded, and said in a loud voice, "Koma, Shuka, Lyrina, Api, Racile step forward." the captain turned her head to Rosa and said, "These five will help you guys."

Athena bowed slightly to show her gratitude and then went back to stand with her group. The people were all wearing the sports gear they were provided at Mythya. This gear was sleek and sharp.

Rosa said, "One-on-one sparring, no weapons, only hand-to-hand combat. Understood?"

Shi Lang and the rest nodded and accepted the command. After the space was cleared up, Koma and Quinn stood facing each other. They were the first match-up. Quinn had already programmed the nanobots to stick to Koma when she uses grappling techniques.

Quinn clasped her hands and then bowed to Koma. The lady was surprised by this action, Rosa said, "This is a way to greet the opponent when you spar. It signifies gratitude and respect for their effort and time."

Koma nodded and performed the same gesture. Then Ameris watched the two assuming their stance and said, "Begin."

Koma took the lead and advanced, however, Quinn was not so easy to intimidate. The girl watched her opponent throw a punch at her, she did not retreat, instead, she took a step forward to disrupt the impact of the incoming punch, and then just as the fist was about to connect with her face, she titled her head to the side, letting the attack miss her.

Koma was surprised, and at that moment, she sensed something soft grappling around her waist. She wanted to struggle away, but Quinn sensed Koma's strength to shake her off and jumped up. Quinn had her legs wrapped around Koma's waist from behind, with her right hand passing under the latter's underarm holding Koma's right hand in a lock, while her left hand gripped around Koma's neck.

Before Koma could use her legs to evade, Quinn jerked her backward. The situation was so unexpected that the Neomonian soldier was left with no options. She fell backward, and Quinn was also slightly shaken from the drop, but she did not let go of her grip. The pressure on the throat was making it difficult for Koma to stay awake.

Ameris said, "Lady Harley wins."

Quinn reacted and let go of the grip. She asked, "Big Sister Koma, are you okay?" to the defeated opponent. The lady was having a tough time catching her breath. Quinn acted so naturally that the lady could not spot the sarcasm in her voice.

She nodded and asked, "Thank you for going easy on me."

Quinn shook her head and said, "I only won because you did not anything about me. The technique can only be used by surprise. as a soldier you have the heart of a righteous person, while as a survivor, I need to exploit chances. I apologize if I injured you."

Her words touched the hearts of all the female soldiers. They were all together for a long time and treated each other as sisters. It was obvious that some of them were better than the others, yet they did not put up any air of superiority. Quinn had displayed a similar trait just now, and she had gained some trust in their hearts.

Amelia was the next to fight and her opponent was called Shuka, a lady with a tall body, who seemed to be stronger than Koma. Amelia looked like lolita in front of her, but the look in her eyes was firm.

She greeted the opponent and the latter followed her greeting. Ameris saw the Terran girl assuming a lower stance and said, "Begin."

Shuka was no impatient. She has learned her lesson from the spar earlier. Amelia was also not impatient. She slowly moved around Shuka, observing every single movement in her body.

...

The team watched the movements from the side and  Jenkins asked, "Amelia changed her combat style?"

Shi Lang nodded, "She has been to Ao on her posting, scouting in the woods and dealing with the natives. Her style demanded change."

Darcx nodded and asked, "Is that not where that death camp is located?"

Shi Lang nodded, Quinn patted her thigh and said, "Is that where you two met?"

Jenkins smirked, "I am the matchmaker of this couple. They came together to beat me. Imagine how powerful I was."

"Off-topic," replied Quinn.

...

On the sparing spot, Amelia stepped forward and Shuka performed a roundhouse kick with her full strength. Amelia rolled forward on the ground, before Shuka could finish her spin, Amelia took hold of her standing leg and...

BAM.
