Dobermann calmly explained to Amiya.
"So my idea is to give her motivation, to push her, to make her proactive, to get her mind working, instead of passively waiting for others' instructions..."
After listening to Dobermann, Amiya stood up and saluted her. "Thank you, Instructor Dobermann, for your meticulousness. I will instruct ACE to assist from the side."
Dobermann returned the salute properly. "That would be even better. It's almost time; I need to go meet them. See you next time!"
"See you next time! Oh, one last question: if Kanna ultimately doesn't meet your required standards, will you really go through with that proposal?"
"I am only responsible for all the Operators of Rhodes Island..."
With the closing of the door, Dobermann left Amiya's room.
—Time returns to the present—
Seeing Kanna, the captain, leave dejectedly after a few words from Dobermann, the others couldn't help but show nervous expressions.
Listen to what Dobermann said... If the evaluation wasn't up to standard, she would remove Kanna from her captaincy. What fierce words.
Only she, as the chief instructor, would dare to say such words. If it were anyone else, probably no one would believe it.
After Kanna left with ACE, Dobermann looked at Nian, "I've seen your fight with Rosmontis, and I know you, like Kanna, possess extraordinary talent. However, for the next few days, I hope you don't use your power during training. If you can't manage that, I can approve you to rest until Kanna returns."
Nian patted her clothes with an indifferent expression, shrugging her shoulders. "I don't have a problem with that, but Kanna's weapon is currently being remade. Miss Vulcan and I agreed that I'd help her with Kanna's weapon these few days, so I probably won't have time for training."
Dobermann was unfazed by Nian's words, as Kaltsit had already informed her of this through her personal terminal before she arrived.
"Alright then, I'll approve your leave. No problem returning to the team for group training in five days, right?"
Nian had originally said this because Dobermann had been so rude to Kanna earlier, and she wanted to deliberately make her uncomfortable. She didn't expect the other party to agree so readily, which left her with nothing to say.
"I'm off then!" Seeing that Dobermann's gaze no longer lingered on her, Nian also felt a bit bored. After waving her hand, she walked decisively towards the main door.
Dobermann's two sentences caused two people to leave the team at once, which stunned the Operators observing from not far away.
Although everyone had anticipated Dobermann's strictness, her swift and decisive action of having two people "leave the team" was a bit too exaggerated.
If the people outside were merely surprised and curious, then the girls standing in front of Dobermann were like little rabbits before a big bad wolf. Forget whispering, under her gaze, the timid ones like Yuki almost forgot to breathe from fright.
Even the more experienced Operators stood obediently, awaiting Dobermann's lecture.
Seeing everyone standing obediently, Dobermann nodded with satisfaction.
"The Doctor also gave me a copy of the various regional data earlier. I can tell you some good news here: due to the team's special nature, your combat training will be reduced, and your specialized training will, of course, increase. As a comprehensive reinforcement squad, the abilities you need are, first, comprehensive, and second, reinforcement capabilities. So, the upcoming training is..."
Following Dobermann's categorization, the instructors under her command each took a few individuals away from the team to begin specialized training. As for the few unstable elements within the team, she decided to personally instruct them.
Ten minutes later, the bustling Kanna Squad was scattered and returned indoors for their respective training.
Only after Dobermann led her people away did the deck become lively again.
"Oh my! As expected of Instructor Dobermann, that oppressive feeling... it's back. Dead memories suddenly appear and start attacking me..." Some Operators recalled their initial training under Dobermann after joining Rhodes Island, where they were trained to the point of wishing for death. Although their expressions showed fear, the slight upturn of their lips revealed the inner joy they felt imagining others about to suffer the same treatment.
Meanwhile, Kanna followed ACE to a small room and found Outcast already waiting inside.
Due to Outcast's presence, Kanna wore a sweet smile and behaved very obediently, but this obedient smile didn't last even a minute before she couldn't maintain it.
The reason, naturally, was that as soon as she sat down, she saw Outcast push a large box of discs with light yellow seals in front of Kanna.
Kanna was all too familiar with these items: "Combat Records" used by Rhodes Island Operators for promotion. Judging by the seals, they were the top-tier ones.
"For the first three days, your task is to watch all the combat records here and write your evaluation for each one, based on the command, strategy, and tactical planning of both sides. For the remaining two days, ACE and I will conduct intensive reinforcement targeting your weaknesses in command and tactical planning based on your reviews. I don't expect you to fully master them, but you must memorize all of this content."
After hearing Outcast's words, Kanna felt completely numb. There were twelve records in this box, and each battle lasted anywhere from 2-3 hours. This meant that just watching the contents of this box would take at least a full day. Adding the time needed to write summaries and reviews after watching them, she realized she wouldn't get much sleep for the next three days... She was initially a bit conflicted, but seeing ACE and Outcast's encouraging gazes, and then recalling ACE's earlier words, she couldn't bring herself to say anything about wanting to slack off.
Under their gazes, Kanna, with a look of indignation, hugged the combat records and ran towards the projector nearby.
Seeing Kanna obediently start watching the combat records, the two nodded to each other and left the small room.
Once Kanna was alone, looking at the thick box of combat records in front of her and the neat, clean notebook on the table beside her, Kanna rubbed the back of her head. Although something about all this felt off today, she couldn't quite pinpoint it. She constantly had the illusion that she was being PUA'd... However, watching videos and writing comments didn't stump Kanna. Even though she was holding a pen instead of a keyboard, her former keyboard warrior skills hadn't completely faded.
As a veteran keyboard warrior, he had once delved into everything from astronomy and geography to swords, spears, and halberds. Now, writing reviews based on existing combat records was simply easy and enjoyable.
She held the notebook, watching and recording. By the time one combat record finished playing, her notebook was already filled with dense writing.
