Upon hearing Weedy's words, Amiya breathed a sigh of relief.
Before bringing Weedy, her biggest concern was Kanna's occasionally uncontrollable mouth, worried that she might say something thoughtless and upset Weedy, as Weedy's personality was also quite troublesome.
However, it seemed that while Kanna often caused trouble when with the old hands happily racing on chairs not far away, she was not so wild and crazy when with other girls.
Thinking of this, Amiya heard the cheers from nearby and couldn't help but feel a vein throb.
These guys were all calm, decisive, brave, and fearless in battle, but what kind of things did they like in their free time? Racing to see who could slide on chairs the fastest and furthest? That was too childish, even children her age wouldn't play such boring games… Just as she was about to go and stop them, Kanna held her back.
"Forget it, let them play. After all, what seems childish to children might be just right for them…"
Hearing Kanna's words, Amiya didn't know how to respond for a moment, but when her peripheral vision caught Kanna's gaze, her Originium Arts actually gave her feedback of "envy, wanting to go play with them"… It seemed she had worried too much.
"Sorry, I'm late!" Accompanied by a cheerful apology, a brown-haired Liberi girl with a somewhat cyberpunk outfit, riding a skateboard, glided out of the nearby gate with a stylish flourish.
"Hello, Operator Surtur reporting for duty!" After gliding in front of Kanna with a very graceful posture, Surtur pushed off with her back foot, and the skateboard stopped abruptly in front of Kanna.
"Wow, cool! But how did you know I was the captain?!" Kanna remembered she hadn't met Surtur before, so how did the other party recognize her?
"I've been at Rhodes Island for a while. Although you don't know me, I've witnessed your cool demeanor," Surtur said, pointing to the area below the bridge not far away.
At this, Kanna understood. She probably saw the happy swing incident that day.
But it was fine. Neither the suggestion nor the ultimate suffering came from her, and swinging was definitely more sophisticated than sliding on chairs, so Kanna wasn't embarrassed at all.
"Hehe! But I have to clarify, I was actually a victim that day too. I was only supposed to be suspended for a while, but then I ran into a bunch of unlucky people."
At this point, Kanna felt wronged. W was the one who spat, and Thorns and Elysium were the ones who wanted to play on the swing, yet she was confined for seven days… "There are eleven people now, right? I didn't expect the Doctor to actually form a full squad!" Blue Poison, counting the number of people, realized that the current members were only one person short of a full squad.
"Yes, this is the first squad the Doctor has personally formed since he became a frontline commander, so he values it especially. Although the people in the team currently have more or less some flaws, the Doctor believes this team is quite in line with his expectations." Amiya had not left but stood not far away, seemingly waiting for the Doctor to pick up the mysterious twelfth person.
"Speaking of which, Amiya, who is the last one?" Kanna was very curious who the Doctor's last assigned person would be. According to previous information, it should also be an Operator who hadn't been registered yet.
But the Doctor knew her, and she hadn't been registered as a Rhodes Island Operator… Could it be Frostnova?
Kanna counted on her fingers; there were too few people who met this condition.
A few minutes later, the gate opened again, and the Doctor led a girl out from inside.
Seeing her, Kanna couldn't help but be stunned. She hadn't expected the mysterious twelfth person the Doctor spoke of to be her.
Seeing Kanna and her group looking over, Doctor waved his hand, "Everyone's here so early. Hmm, it seems I'm the latest. My apologies. Kanna, this is the twelfth Operator, codenamed—"
"Operator Misha, reporting!" Before Doctor could finish, the girl walked up to Kanna with a smile.
"Misha, don't you need to look after your brother anymore...?" Kanna hadn't expected the last person Doctor arranged to be the second Skullshatterer from the story, Misha, the girl she regretted the most, who was consumed by hatred and died.
"Thanks to you, Alex is currently staying at Rhodes Island's sanatorium. Miss Lena promised me she would take good care of him. I heard from Doctor that you, Kanna, needed an Operator skilled in driving various vehicles and providing support. Coincidentally, I've learned some vehicle driving techniques, and my learning ability is also quite good. After applying, I was approved to join your squad."
Misha put on a very fortunate expression about being able to join Kanna's squad.
"Originally, my idea was Dylan, but Kaltsit said that Dylan is a male after all, and it wouldn't be very suitable for him to join an all-female squad.
Afterward, I considered Whitesmith. As an Engineering Operator, she is also skilled in operating various machinery and vehicles. However, she had just gone on an external mission with Hoshiguma. I had almost thought that the promised twelfth Operator couldn't be fulfilled, when Misha happened to find me.
After assessments by the Engineering Department and the Operations Department, and with approval from the Human Resources Department, Misha successfully became a Sniper Operator for our Rhodes Island not long ago. Her weapon is the set of equipment her brother, Alex, had from Lungmen at that time."
After listening to Doctor, Kanna could only say that this was also the will of the great universe. She hadn't expected Misha to ultimately pick up Alex's weapon and inherit his equipment... Fortunately, she no longer needed to bear the codename Skullshatterer, but could continue to live with her own name, Misha.
"It seems everyone is here. Let's start with a roll call." A very serious-sounding voice came from behind Doctor.
"It's Instructor Dobermann!" Seeing the person who came out behind Doctor, the initially somewhat lax squad immediately straightened up. Most people, including the Operators who had been watching, instantly stood at attention, eyes forward.
Several chairs slid with a clatter as they were pulled back into the room from the other door.
This was Dobermann, Rhodes Island's new chief instructor, entrusted with heavy responsibilities by Kaltsit, known as "Iron Face." Among all the Operators at Rhodes Island, there were few who weren't afraid of her. Of course, this wasn't because she loved to punish people, but because she valued discipline immensely. Training under her meant enduring dozens of harsh rules, and she would never tolerate any behavior that broke discipline.
