Chapter 411: Holographic Simulation

Countermeasure Bureau Training Center.

"Maurice Kent," David Watson looked at the data in his hand, "Esper, ability: Teleportation. Evaluation: A-level. Is there no mistake? We are just a C-level team, how come an A-level ability user was sent?"

"It is said that two months ago, the Esper Development Research Center made a breakthrough. From now on, A-level ability users are not that amazing," the instructor beside him said, "In short, your team has been short-handed for three months. The magic disaster missions ahead are more dangerous than the last, so you must replenish personnel."

"I would rather you give me two D-level veterans. This guy only awakened his ability last month, and it's this kind of skill-based type," David was a bit unhappy, "Only one month, he probably hasn't even figured out his ability yet. I don't want to lead a rookie."

"Bullshit, a year ago, who among you wasn't a rookie!" the instructor scolded, "When you first encountered a Chimera, weren't you also scared to the point of peeing your pants?"

"That was so long ago," David Watson was a bit embarrassed, "Don't keep mentioning those things."

"Long ago my ass, it's only been a year! Alright, stop talking nonsense. Do you want this person or not?" the instructor was impatient, "I'll tell you, this is Draco Malfoy who specifically greeted me, so I got this high-level talent for you."

"Draco, huh," David remembered the wizard boy with platinum hair who had once been on a team with him, "How is he now?"

"He is a wizard, core combat power, and his talent is also good. It is said that he has now become an S-level special investigator and has been transferred to the headquarters. However, he still remembers you. This time, he also asked me to ask you a question: do you want to go to the headquarters?"

"Me? I'm just a cannon fodder with werewolf Transfiguration ability. What am I going to the headquarters for? To be thrown into those high-level missions and fight for my life with those magic monsters? Seeking death?"

"There are a few instructor vacancies at the headquarters. As a member of the first batch of the Countermeasure Bureau, your qualifications are old enough. If recommended by an S-level investigator, there is basically no problem."

"..." David Watson was silent for a while, "Forget it, I still have something to finish here."

"Do you mean avenging Philip?" the instructor asked.

David Watson frowned. Philip was the first newcomer he brought after becoming a captain. He was a C-level giant werewolf ability user. Two months after joining the team, he sacrificed himself in a mission.

And the murderer who killed him hadn't been finished off.

"Sigh, Philip was just unlucky. You are only a C-level team. By rights, the missions you receive should only be to deal with some ordinary magic disaster events, finish off some fish-men, wipe out red caps, etc. But things related to evil gods, sometimes even S-level teams will face danger."

"Philip's death can't be blamed on you, and you don't have to blame yourself too much," the instructor said.

"I stopped taking it to heart a long time ago," David Watson said, "And finding that evil god to avenge the kid? My brain isn't broken. Forget it, let's not talk about this. I'll go see this Maurice. You're right, we really should replenish personnel."

"Winner, Maurice!"

Looking at the line of fire characters appearing in the void, Maurice showed a trace of smugness on his mouth and exited the "Holographic Simulation."

A muscular man opposite also took off the full-coverage helmet, looking at him with complex eyes, but finally walked up, slapped a few crumpled banknotes in front of him, and turned to leave.

"Haha, thanks for your patronage, welcome again," Maurice said with a giggle.

The muscular man's body stiffened, but he didn't dare to say anything in the end and walked straight away.

Holographic simulation is called simulation, but its restoration of the environment and the physical state and abilities of both sides is 100%. If you lose in the holographic simulation, it will be the same if you fight in reality.

"This is the strength of an A-level Esper. His teleportation has almost no cooldown. Enemies will be riddled with holes by him before they can even touch his edge. How can this still be played?"

"Hmph, what's an A-level? This is a skill-based ability. It's much worse than an all-around type. Come an ability user who can harden their body, he won't break the defense even if he stands there and gets hit. What's the use of him teleporting fast?"

"Damn, if I had known that the later you awaken, the stronger the ability, I wouldn't have applied to join the Countermeasure Bureau so early!" someone complained.

"Who knew the research progress of the Research Center on Espers would be so fast!" someone also agreed, "I heard they used a time acceleration device to speed up the research. We pass one day outside, and those experts have already spent half a year."

"Be content. The stronger the ability, the more likely you are to go on higher-level missions. I don't want to encounter anything like a magic Kraken. It is said that as the degree of magic recovery gets higher and higher, some magical creatures will even become god-like, and S-level investigators will likely fall if they encounter them."

"Last time at the headquarters showroom, I saw a head of a Runespoor, which was as big as a truck. One eyeball was taller than a person. That thing must have become god-like."

"I'm preparing to sign up for the Institute's secondary awakening plan," someone said, "Although they said there is a 5% probability of genetic disorder, I still want to become stronger. Not all missions will be according to your ability level, and sometimes the headquarters cannot judge the specific level of the mission."

"Especially events involving evil god worship, those evil gods have learned to disguise themselves. Magic detection satellites are not omnipotent and it is difficult to accurately assess the power level involved in this type of event. If you are unlucky, a C-level team may also encounter an evil god sacrifice event. Two months ago..."

"Hey, stop talking, look behind you."

The person who was saying something stopped talking when he saw the person walking in from the door.

The unlucky person who encountered the evil god sacrifice event came to Maurice's side, "Maurice Kent?"

Maurice was exchanging the banknotes in his hand for electronic currency with the tavern owner. The Bank of England launched an electronic payment method last month, which was very convenient. Although many people were still hesitating, Maurice liked it very much because it could be paid directly through the Internet, thereby purchasing goods and services thousands of miles away. This was really cool.

"Who are you?"

"C-level investigation team Chimera team captain David Watson," David said, "You have been admitted by us, follow me, rookie."

"C-level?" Maurice frowned, "I applied for an A-level team."

"That means you're not qualified enough, rookie," a woman with brown skin and a hot body behind David said disdainfully.

"Is that so?" Maurice also showed a disdainful smile, "What level are you? Do you want to play a game of holographic simulation? If you win, I will admit that I am a rookie, but if you lose, go back where you came from. C-level team, hmph, I don't want to stay in such a trash team."

"You kid..." the woman was angry and rolled up her sleeves, ready to come up and beat someone, but was pulled by David.

He glanced at the replay of the holographic simulation battle on the wall just now, and then glanced at the ranking beside him, "You seem to be very good at holographic simulation? Fine, I'll fight you."

Maurice saw that the other party was so straightforward, hesitated slightly, and said: "You already know my ability, but I don't know yours. This is not fair."

David sat down, "Giant werewolf, C-level."
