Along the way, Popukar excitedly told Kanna interesting stories from their journey, complemented by Spot's sharp retorts and Yue Jianye's various interjections, making it incredibly joyful.
Zilan, trailing behind, had a dark expression but could do nothing about it.
Speaking of which, the current composition of the A6 Group is quite peculiar.
As Kanna knew, Reserve Team A4 had a heavy-armored unit, a sniper, a vanguard, a caster, and a healer, which could be said to be small but complete, a standard tactical squad configuration.
However, the A6 Group currently consists of Popukar and Ace as vanguards, Yue Jianye as a guard, Zilan as a crowd control support, and Spot as a heavy-armored battlefield medic. The team lacks a long-range sniper (Kongbao had not yet joined at this time), a professional healer, or a caster. The entire team's style is characterized by a reckless charge, which is quite absurd.
Soon, the group arrived at the Engineering Department.
Seeing Kanna enter, the person at the door's face changed drastically, and she swiftly disappeared into the corridor.
"I say, Kanna, what earth-shattering thing have you done again recently?" Seeing the Engineering Department Operator's reaction, even a fool would know that Kanna must have done something big recently, and it must have caused the Engineering Department no small loss, otherwise, she wouldn't be so nervous.
"Ahaha, it's nothing... just about a week ago, I asked Sister Vulcan to make me a suitable weapon. Then Sister Vulcan took me to the training ground and let me do whatever I wanted for a bit. So, one of the reasons I'm here today is to pick up the custom weapon Sister Vulcan promised me."
After hearing Kanna's words, the few people looked at each other, wondering what Kanna had done during her training to make the Engineering Department Operators, who were usually fearless, so nervous.
Upon learning that Kanna had returned to the Engineering Department, Kroos quickly put down her work and rushed over.
Since that day, she had strictly ordered all Engineering Department Operators to report immediately if they spotted Kanna approaching. She was determined that as long as Kanna was in the Engineering Department, she would accompany her throughout. The losses from last time kept her awake for several nights after the report came in. The crucial part was that Kal'tsit, that old woman, refused to reimburse her... So she decided she must constantly keep an eye on Kanna, and do her utmost to prevent "Rhodes Island's property" from suffering any further losses.
By the time Kroos arrived, Kanna and her group had just reached the entrance of Sister Vulcan's workshop.
Seeing Kroos's disheveled and nervous appearance, the few A6 Group reserve Operators could only feel admiration internally. To make the head of Rhodes Island's Technical Management Department so afraid, Kanna was truly unique on Rhodes Island.
Hearing that Kanna was there to pick up her weapon, Kroos quickly said, "Picking up the weapon is certainly no problem, but let me tell you in advance, you are not allowed to conduct combat practice in any training ground within Rhodes Island! If you want to practice, you can apply to Kal'tsit, and then, when the landship is stopped, we can open the door for you to practice outside. I've already discussed this with Kal'tsit, and she agreed."
Hearing Kroos's words, everyone else was dumbfounded. While entering and exiting Rhodes Island wasn't difficult, they wouldn't easily open it just for one person to go out for a stroll.
Kanna had once again set a new record for Rhodes Island's entry and exit.
"Actually, it's not necessary to be so troublesome! Just tell me when the ship stops, and I can enter and exit from the bridge. That way, I won't bother the big brothers guarding the passage." Kanna suggested with a triumphant look, completely oblivious to the fact that she was forbidden from training in the training grounds.
Considering the effect of Kanna's Thunderbolt Wedge, Kroos thought for a moment and replied, "That can be discussed, but you really can't use your abilities in the training grounds anymore! My dear sister, I truly cannot keep up with the repairs."
"Then it's settled!" After reaching an agreement, Kanna gave a thumbs-up, indicating her acceptance of Kroos's suggestion.
While conversing with Kroos, the door to Sister Vulcan's workshop had already opened. As Kanna expected, Cerberus was indeed crouching there.
Upon hearing Kanna's voice, she excitedly opened the door, but seeing Kanna talking to others, she remained silent.
Once the two sides finished their conversation, Cerberus immediately grabbed Kanna. "Let me tell you, Sister Vulcan made you a super awesome weapon, and it looks super cool... *hiss*" As she spoke, Cerberus's eyes began to glow.
Seeing Cerberus so excited made Kanna a little expectant. It seemed Sister Vulcan must have made an extraordinary weapon.
Upon entering the room, everyone's attention was drawn to the exaggeratedly large greatsword standing in the center of the room.
Seeing the greatsword, which was almost thirty centimeters wide and nearly one and a half meters long, Kanna couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy cow!"
This was less a greatsword and more like a door panel. Kanna's body was such that if she hunched over, several of her could hide behind the sword.
Seeing Kanna walk in, Sister Vulcan patted the greatsword, which no normal person could lift, and with a hint of wild smile, said, "You're here, Kanna! Come and see what you think of this weapon."
Hearing Sister Vulcan's words, Kanna lightly jumped, and as she passed the weapon, she reached out and pulled the greatsword, lifting it from its stand.
Holding the sword, she glanced around and realized that even though Sister Vulcan's workshop was quite large, it still wasn't enough space to wield this weapon.
"Let's go outside and test the sword!" Seeing Kanna easily lift the greatsword with one hand, Sister Vulcan wasn't surprised. Instead, she nodded with satisfaction and then suggested.
Kroos, who was nearby, immediately said, "The landship will be stopping here for a day, so how about we go directly outside to the open ground to test it?"
Seeing everyone eager to try, Kroos secretly congratulated herself for being there. Otherwise, if Sister Vulcan took Kanna to the training grounds again, she might truly have a heart attack this time.
While returning along the original path, Kroos applied to Kal'tsit via communicator.
Kal'tsit responded very quickly: "Permission granted for the group of Operators to leave the island for weapon testing."
Along the way, many people saw the "big door panel" Kanna was carrying.
When they learned they were going out to test a new weapon, several people followed with interest, and the group grew larger and larger. Eventually, Kal'tsit, who received the news, had to disperse most of the curious Operators, allowing only Sister Vulcan, Kanna, and the curious Ace and ACE to leave the landship.
Among the group that was together earlier, the A6 Group reserve team had just returned to Rhodes Island, and although they wanted to join the fun, they were required to go to the Medical Department for a physical examination.
Rosmontis, due to her physical condition, did not receive Kal'tsit's approval to leave the island and had to stay at a window on the lower level, from where she could watch Kanna's test outside. Cerberus, not being an Operator but a patient, could only pitifully crouch at the window with Rosmontis.
After going outside, with finally enough spacious room, Kanna excitedly wielded the door panel in her hand, sweeping it around, causing sand and stones to fly and dust to rise continuously.
