What Do You Mean I'm The Captain Of A Yandere Mercenary Company? Chapter 809: Different Testing Styles

They paused for a second before recalling that I remained in the midst of evaluating their Exo-Knight, and they gradually settled down.

Rosalia cleared her throat with a soft cough, "Ahem... Apologies for that, Miss Tera... What were we discussing?"

"Well... I finished the flight path, didn't I? And now you're probably going to instruct me on the next step?"

"Ahem... Correct. I'm sending over a fresh course for you to navigate... It ought to appear on your nav terminal at this moment."

Indeed, the display emitted a alert chime and displayed a fresh flight trajectory that I needed to master.

On this run, additional markers dotted the path, and it appeared they intended to launch the identical count of drones from my previous trial... Meaning this trial would prove tougher than the last one.

Fortunately, I viewed this as an exciting hurdle to conquer, so it didn't discourage me much~

Friederike gave me a nod, "Set when you're prepared, Miss Tera."

I drew in a deep breath to concentrate, then advanced the throttle controls and activated the Exo-Knight’s engines, speeding toward the initial portal.

The drones wasted no time unleashing shots at me, and I tracked them closely while evading and maneuvering amid their beams to pass the markers.

They pursued me with greater ferocity, discharging lasers at quicker intervals than previously.

Yet, their clear programming to aim at my current position allowed me to foresee their attack sequences and steer clear.

Consequently, I navigated the subsequent markers with fair ease, though it intensified as extra drones joined the fray.

At this point, it felt like threading through a labyrinth of beams, with flashes surrounding me, their rays intersecting everywhere as I darted and swerved between the openings.

Finally, I cleared the final portal, executing a somersault to evade the concluding volley of shots before maxing out the thrusters and surging ahead, finishing the route.

As anticipated, both of them erupted in ecstatic shouts the instant I wrapped up the path.

"Waaahhhh!! Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!! This... This is unbelievable!!"

"So much information!! It's performing flawlessly!!"

I couldn't fathom their shock at something functioning smoothly... Did they anticipate the Exo-Knight detonating or similar?

After all... I'd grasped its potentials simply by piloting it, so they, as its creators with full specs, should certainly grasp its prowess.

The pair kept exclaiming over the details I'd collected for them until the predictable clash arose...

"See?! I knew I was correct!! Look!! Here!! The readings confirm it's feasible! It hit one hundred twenty percent output!! Beyond your projections!!" Friederike exclaimed.

Rosalia clicked her tongue in annoyance, "I figured you'd spout nonsense like that. Didn't you notice the surge in sector seven that forced it beyond safe limits to hit that mark?! Yes, it functions, but constant use would degrade it! That's my exact warning!"

"You're shifting the target now! The core issue was your insistence it couldn't be done!"

"If repeating it causes the Exo-Knight to break down, then it's not viable!!"

"That's not what 'impossible' implies!! It simply means it's suboptimal, yet achievable!!"

"Why pursue a method that dooms the device eventually?! We ought to mitigate all drawbacks to safeguard it maximally!! You're chasing desired outcomes while ignoring durability and feasibility!"

"That's irrelevant!! Secure the result first, then refine the issues!! Is this your debut in innovating?!!"

It struck me that their core discord stemmed from opposing methods in crafting novel creations...

I comprehended it somewhat, having observed Ries in action, recognizing Friederike as someone who outlines key features theoretically, then builds to realize those essentials regardless of expense.

Even if it meant forgoing extras or short-lived primaries, she prioritizes ticking off her essentials before further thoughts.

Once ticked, she declares victory.

Conversely... Rosalia outlines primaries while factoring in sustains for them without compromising auxiliaries.

Should primaries lack long-term viability or harm secondary aspects, she labels it unsuccessful.

Their divergent styles made sense too, as Rosalia handles the tangible construction unlike Friederike. Thus, Rosalia views reworks as resource squander if imperfections demand scrapping.

Wow... No wonder they clash so often...

I cleared my throat once more, "Ahem... So... Need more trials from me?"

They abruptly recalled my presence and ceased their squabble.

"Ah! Miss Tera! Forgive me! This is utterly improper..."

"Sorry, sorry! We ignite over these topics and lose track... Ahem... We've ample data to analyze now, so today's sufficient. Return to the base."

Friederike snorted, "Indeed. Thanks for your aid, Miss Tera. Without you, proving this foolish rabbit wrong would have been tough."

Oh no... I'd hoped they'd let it rest, but... Round two begins...

Rosalia instantly knitted her brows and shot her coworker a fierce look, "What? How deluded are you? Clearly, this trial backs my stance, not yours!"

"Didn't we just confirm my figures were spot on?"

"I just explained why they're not!"

"No, you didn't! You imposed a random caveat to prop up your argument. It doesn't negate the findings."

The bunny engineer brandished her fist toward the feed, "You!! That's why collaborating with you infuriates me!!"

In retort, the goat scientist tilted her head defiantly, "I could claim the identical about you. Do you realize your occasional obliviousness? Despite the evidence presented, you persist in obstinacy."

"You damn jerk! I'm heading there to thrash you now!"

"Hmph, typical of a thug like you."

Um... Might I disconnect now? I'd prefer returning...

Surprisingly, Friederike addressed me directly, "Miss Tera. Would you visit my lab too? Let's gather the pilot's insights on it."

Rosalia grinned slyly, "Exactly! Your hands-on experience will outshine any theoretical nonsense from this idiotic goat!!"

Ugh... Can I refuse? But alright... It logically follows that I'd share my take...

Since I possess thoughts on its handling, like the Exo-Knight's tendency to veer left toward the shield during acceleration, requiring me to boost the leftmost engines for balance.

Plus, the noticeable delay in thruster transitions, making deceleration sluggish beyond my preference.

Minor issues abounded, but nothing severe, so I adapted without hassle, though I suspected they'd crave such details.

I agreed with a nod, "I'll head over... But um... Its location?"

Friederike gestured dismissively, "Don't fret, I'll summon a guide for you upon docking. This silly hare will dawdle en route regardless."

Rosalia glowered, "That's enough... I'm marching there this instant, you wretch!! Prepare to grovel when I arrive!!"

The goat lass merely huffed before they terminated the connection.

I'm not stepping into a brawl there, right?
