Chapter 265 - Chapter 264: Exercise

Finally, at the cost of ACE bringing Kanna-chan half a carload of "special snacks" on his next field mission, Kanna-chan "reluctantly" agreed to his proposal.

Kanna-chan, walking downstairs, still held a piece of intelligence. This was personally delivered by ACE, as the captain, detailing the general combat styles of everyone on his team, so that Kanna-chan could be more targeted in tomorrow's battle.

Of course, ACE's team members didn't know that their information had been completely sold out by their most reliable big brother, nor did they know who their opponent for tomorrow's match would be. Several more high-profile ones, such as Cavity and Hard Brick, even loudly declared in the cafeteria that no matter which group they trained with tomorrow, they could easily win.

After going downstairs, Kanna-chan didn't go to the Control Room or wander around, but instead went to the outside of Rhodes Island's Lupo gathering place. Sure enough, she soon spotted Little Red Riding Hood there.

"Red!" Seeing Red about to chase after a tail again, Kanna-chan quickly called out to her.

Red looked regretfully at the Lupo Operator who was quickly fleeing with her tail between her legs, but still obediently jumped in front of Kanna-chan.

"Do you know about tomorrow's training match?" Kanna-chan pointed to the document in her hand.

"Red knows, but isn't that tomorrow?" Red tilted her head, asking Kanna-chan in confusion, as if wondering why she was rushing about tomorrow's match today.

"Can you help me call Scavenger and Manticore? Tomorrow's opponents aren't simple; we need to plan!" Kanna-chan knew that SWEEP had its own special communication channels.

Although she was also nominally part of SWEEP, she rarely did anything official and had very little interaction with others. Kal'tsit also hadn't given her contact information for the others, so until now, Kanna-chan's communication with SWEEP still had to rely on Kal'tsit.

However, after speaking ill of Kal'tsit, Kanna would not be foolish enough to walk into a trap. Plus, among the Operators, Red was relatively easy to find (after all, everyone on Rhodes Island knew there was a little girl who was particularly interested in Lupo's tail), so Kanna naturally set her sights on her.

Red was a little puzzled as to why Kanna didn't contact others herself, but she didn't suspect anything. Instead, she immediately contacted Scavenger.

"Understood. Then bring Kanna to my office. I'll contact Manticore." Scavenger readily agreed after hearing Kanna's words relayed by Red.

After following Red through several twists and turns, the two arrived at an office deep within Rhodes Island. Upon entering, they found the place clean and tidy, with almost no extra items apart from two tables and a few stools.

"Good afternoon, Sister Scavenger and Sister Manticore!" Kanna greeted Scavenger, who was sitting not far away, and Manticore, who was standing in the corner, as soon as she entered the room.

Hearing Kanna's words, Scavenger was startled for a moment, then looked in Manticore's direction.

Manticore's invisibility ability was extremely powerful; even after being her companion for a long time, Scavenger often lost track of her. But Kanna accurately pinpointed her less than a second after entering the room. No wonder Kal'tsit valued her so much; such observational skills were indeed very suitable for a bodyguard.

"This contains the combat styles, habits, and Originium Arts of all members of the ACE Squad. Of course, with SWEEP's capabilities, finding this information shouldn't be difficult. This intelligence was personally given to me by ACE, and ACE is our opponent for tomorrow's combat training. So, firstly, it's for you to confirm if there are any issues, and secondly, I want to discuss tomorrow's battle plan."

Kanna handed the intelligence in her hand to Scavenger.

Scavenger took the intelligence and carefully flipped through it. Everyone sat quietly, waiting for her results.

"This intelligence is fine; the content is all correct. Regarding this training match, I also wanted to talk to you. Doctor Kal'tsit and Doctor have both discussed their thoughts on this training match with me. With this intelligence, I pretty much understand what ACE and Doctor mean."

As an experienced mercenary who had assisted Kal'tsit and Ascalon with many tasks after joining SWEEP, Scavenger's combat intelligence was not low. However, to conceal her identity for easier operations, she had always appeared as an ordinary Operator in most situations on Rhodes Island.

Having participated in the Chernobog battle with the main forces some time ago, she was well aware of Kanna's strength. Therefore, she quickly formulated a very suitable plan based on the ACE Squad's intelligence.

The next day, many Operators and people who learned that Rhodes Island would conduct a combat "exercise" came to the windows near the exercise area. Countless heads looked out at the wasteland through the windows of the landship.

"You're saying that we just arrived on Rhodes Island, and they're already holding combat training. Is this a reminder of something?"

"Don't overthink it. Doctor mentioned this exercise plan a long time ago, but it was rejected by Kal'tsit at the time. It seems something happened later, and the plan was restarted. Besides, Rhodes Island didn't make a big announcement; you and I only came after hearing rumors from others!"

"I say, Pink Sausage Dragon, how much longer have you been here than me? What, have you become 'Rhodes Island-shaped' already?"

"Barbecued Pork Cat, you *Lungmen vulgarity*, I *Lungmen vulgarity*"

One moment they were standing side by side like good sisters, the next they were pulling each other's cheeks, looking like mortal enemies.

"Alright, alright! Stop it, you two! A car is coming out. Look at the person in the car... it's ACE."

Hoshiguma helplessly reached out to separate the two "good sisters" who were almost twisted into a ball, then looked at the vehicle driving out of Rhodes Island.

"Mr. ACE! He is indeed a very reliable person. I didn't expect him to be one of the parties. Then who will be the other party!" Chris had been on Rhodes Island for a long time and was not the type to just squat outside her sister's place all day, acting as a sister-watching stone.

During this time, she also registered for an Operator qualification on Rhodes Island, and while undergoing daily training, she also got to know many Operators on Rhodes Island.

Operators like ACE, who generally provide protection services for leader Amiya, and his team can be said to be among the best-equipped on Rhodes Island, and their combat capabilities are also top-notch talents.

If one side is ACE, the other side must also be elite Operators from Rhodes Island to maintain balance.

At this moment, many people who saw ACE's convoy looked at them eagerly. Many probationary Operators and children even had shining eyes, thinking that after becoming official Operators, they would definitely join ACE's team.
