It's only been a few days.

It's over.

Wasted.

They were noisy all day long, talking about what kind of trainer they wanted to be.

Please.

There are only three trainers out of all the trainers in the world.

Is it important to reach the top among three people?

Misato Katsuragi shook her head and changed her words: "Today's training is slightly different because... we have selected the fourth qualified candidate. Come on, Suzuhara, it's your turn."

"Suzuhara?" Shinji blinked when he heard the name.

Could it be...'that Suzuhara'?

That's right.

It’s ‘that Suzuhara’.

Suzuhara Touji wore a combat uniform and walked into the combat preparation room with a smile.

"Hey everyone, long time no see. I miss you so much."

"Wow, it's really you." Shinji took the initiative to greet him and looked at Suzuhara Touji with a smile: "You are the fourth qualified person? You are awesome."

Suzuhara Touji scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "What about that? Because the base promised that I could transfer my sister to a better hospital, so I came."

As he said that, he looked at Ayanami Rei and Asuka: "Lingbo-san, Soryu-san, hello."

Ayanami Rei nodded slightly and said nothing.

Asuka looked domineering: "Huh? This guy is really qualified to be a trainer..."

Halfway through her words, she realized her mistake and quickly changed her words: "Are you really qualified to be a driver?"

"That's why we need to conduct simulation training." Misato Katsuragi said calmly.

Then he said to Suzuhara Touji: "Before officially entering the battle, simulation training is an indispensable link. The base has advanced systems... In short, let Shinji teach you how to correctly enter the injection plug."

Suzuhara Touji responded loudly with a skilled Kansai accent.

Waiting to enter the simulated cockpit.

Misato Katsuragi looked at the data on the screen and murmured: "The synchronization rate is a bit low, but it's normal. After all, it's the first time to do this kind of thing."

The base's simulated combat system is indeed very advanced.

in virtual space.

Suzuhara Touji is driving the brand new Unit 3, standing among the high-rise buildings.

"Uh, I feel a little awkward, I really want to vomit." Suzuhara Touji was not used to this feeling.

At this moment, Shinji's voice came from the team's voice: "Relax, don't be nervous, just think of the machine as an extension of your own body."

Hearing this, Suzuhara Touji took a big breath and let the LCL solution enter his lungs.

Don't say it.

Just don't say it.

Relax.

The theoretical synchronization rate has really increased.

After calming down, he discovered the problem again and couldn't help but ask: "Well, why do our EVAs have long cables trailing behind them, but Mr. Soliu doesn't use them?"

As soon as she talked about this, Asuka was proud: "Hey, hey, don't compare me to a rookie like you. This will make me feel very troubled."

Suzuhara Touji:???

Shinji explained: "In reality, Unit 2 is equipped with the base's newly developed 'blue hole battery' and has an additional independent power source, so it does not need to rely on cables like we do."

"What the hell, this is too convenient." Suzuhara Touji complained.

Suddenly, Katsuragi Misato's voice sounded again: "Although I can't bear to interrupt your chat, the enemy will enter the battlefield in thirty seconds. This time you will face the Water Angels, four of them.

There are four in total, so prepare as soon as possible."

Water angel.

Because it has no special abilities and some messy mechanics, it is regarded as a basic monster by the base.

Also the best sparring partner.

Shinji and the others have fought the Water Angel for the first time.

They all showed their sophisticated side.

However, Suzuhara Touji seemed at a loss as he was pushed to the ground and beaten by Water Angel.

Logically speaking, Shinji should help his teammates get out of trouble.

However, Misato Katsuragi in the headset requested not to interfere in the battle between Unit 3 and Water Angel.

Shinji and the others had no choice but to stand aside and watch silently.

Struggle.

roll.

The struggle continued.

Asuka couldn't help but said: "Are you stupid? You can't even handle such a simple apostle?"

Suzuhara Touji: "It won't hurt if you stand and talk less...I...this is my first time driving an EVA."

"But the first time Shinji piloted Unit-00, he beat up the genuine Water Angel to the point where even his mother didn't recognize him." Asuka chuckled and revealed some 'big news' that wasn't really bad news.

Suzuhara Touji's clone was directly cut off from its power source by Water Angel.

Misato Katsuragi couldn't help but cover her forehead: "This child is still too young."

The simulation ends.

Touji Suzuhara took off the injection plug and returned to reality.

I couldn't help but retched.

To be honest, the LCL solution was fishy and smelly, and it was forced to be poured into the lungs, which was simply torture.

He looked at Shinji: "You don't feel uncomfortable at all?"

"At first, it was a little bit, but now I'm completely used to it. This is the most basic requirement for driving an EVA." Shinji scratched his head: "Be patient, you will get used to it."

Suzuhara Touji had a thoughtful expression on his face.

Shinji blinked, moved closer to his friend, and lowered his voice: "Suzhara, don't be deceived by the base's higher-ups. To tell you the truth, there are many good people in this base, but the higher-ups, especially the commander, are simply heinous."

You big bastard, driving an EVA is life-threatening, and you don’t want your sister to lose sight of your brother after she recovers, right?”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a pause, he added: "Even if you don't think about your family, you have to think about the squad leader. If you die, she will be very sad."

"Stupid... stupid, why would that guy be sad when I die?" Suzuhara Touji suddenly shouted like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

Shinji showed an expression of "You understand and I understand too".

Suzuhara Touji sighed: "It's too late. The transfer has been completed. If I give up here, my sister will go back to the original hospital."

Shinji patted his good friend on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'll talk to the senior people. They won't do anything to your sister."

"Really? If I don't drive EVA, my sister can be admitted to a good hospital?" Suzuhara Touji asked excitedly.

"Then I can still lie to you. We are good brothers." Shinji agreed immediately.

Suzuhara Touji was moved beyond measure.

Misato Katsuragi interrupted angrily: "Before you spoke, did you not consider the voice in the team?"

Shinji: "No, I just told you on purpose. Of course, Miss Misato, I'm not targeting you, but Ikari Gendo. Touji is obviously not suitable to drive an EVA, so why do you still persecute him?"

Misato Katsuragi: "Maybe we need more power to fight against the apostles?"

Shinji: "Don't be ridiculous. No one knows better than me what Ikari Gendo is thinking. If you want to fight against the apostles, we are enough. Even if you add new power, it shouldn't be a layman like Touji."
