Chapter 1196 Reasons for Flying
A guard inserted the crank into the nose of the plane, rotated it several times, and then pressed the valve violently. Violent tremors immediately spread from the nose to the tail of the plane. During this tremor, the engine made a series of snapping sounds, driving the propeller to run rapidly.
When the roar turned into a continuous buzz, Goode slowly pushed the throttle lever as required in the manual, and the plane seemed to be pulled by something and slid onto the runway.
"Wow..." There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd.
It actually works! Goode was also greatly encouraged. It was following his command and he was controlling this big guy!
He couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was squatting on the left side of the wing. He saw her gray hair fluttering in the wind, and there seemed to be a smile in her eyes. Princess...is this praising him? Good's confidence has increased a bit. As long as he follows the other party's instructions, he should be able to fly without any problem!
However, after more than ten breaths, there was still no prompt coming from his side.
Good looked at Tilly repeatedly, but what he always got was the half-smiling expression. When the plane crossed the center line of the runway, he suddenly realized the fact: he would not get any instructions.
"But considering that this is your first time in the sky, I will fly near the driver's seat as a guide to remind you step by step what to do."
This sentence does not include him. Her Royal Highness is looking after ordinary students, not him who violated regulations and made mistakes.
Just like when other students fail, there will be another time, but he only has one chance.
Good's hands and feet suddenly felt cold, and the loss and regret from yesterday flooded into his heart again.
"It is undoubtedly the best performance for me not to say anything."
He vaguely guessed what His Highness was thinking - if he couldn't fly by his own ability, if he couldn't achieve the best results, then the academy wouldn't keep him. This is the price of making a mistake. Only by showing enough talent can he have the value of staying here.
But can he really make this plane fly?
At this time, only one-third of the runway was left, with a piece of grass at the end, and the airport wall beyond - if it were to hit it directly, there would be nothing Miss Nanava could do.
No...it's too late.
Goode subconsciously wanted to pull the accelerator lever. This seemed to be the only way to save his life, to slow down and avoid a frontal collision. This was almost an instinctive choice for humans when faced with an unavoidable high wall.
But the next moment, he felt a hand on his head.
"Do you... like flying?"
Rachel's voice seemed to float in her ears.
flight--
Yes, if it's a bird, there is a way out.
That is to fly up and jump over obstacles from the top of the wall.
Now fold your wings and there will be nothing left.
It seemed like an instant, and it seemed like a long time passed before Goode's hand tightly grasped the handle and moved again - but it was not to withdraw, but to push up hard.
The nose of the plane suddenly roared like a roar.
The wall seemed to be crashing into him!
It wasn't until the last ten meters or so that he suddenly pulled up the nose of the plane. As the fuselage swayed, the runway suddenly disappeared from sight and was replaced by grass passing by quickly. For a moment, he felt that he had lost weight, as if he was light. Like a swallow. The earth is falling, and he is rising into the sky!
Faster, faster! Goode's eyes widened, staring at the wall that was getting closer and closer, and his body was even prepared for the impact.
But that moment never came.
The plane almost flew past the wall and shot up into the sky. When the obstacles in front of him completely disappeared, a sight that he had never seen before appeared in Good's eyes. The outline of the college, the shape of the coast, and the city of Neverwinter in the distance all came into view one by one, and rotated with his movements. The morning breeze blowing in front of him filled the last gap in his feeling, day after day. The practice also found the benchmark at this moment.
Such a freeing experience made him want to scream out loud.
It's great that humans can fly.
…
After the plane landed, Goode knelt down in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity. You allowed me to see things I could only see in my dreams."
During the test flight, which lasted nearly half an hour, he basically completed several standard movements such as pulling up and circling in the manual. Although there were some stumbles in the process, he finally completed them one by one.
As for how many points you can score in the end, you can only leave it to fate.
Even if he still failed to meet the other party's requirements, at least he left an unforgettable memory. From now on, as long as he closes his eyes, the world will suddenly expand a lot.
"Why did you join the Sky Knight Academy?"
Tilly's voice came from above her head.
Good hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth, "I came back to Your Highness at first to earn more remuneration, then to get ahead, and now...it's about the flight itself."
"Whether it's remuneration, fame, or flying, I can give it to you - as long as you can kill enough devils." The princess's statement was as smooth as ice, "Fight for Graycastle, fly the plane Kill every devil that appears in sight and exchange their blood for everything. This is the duty of the Sky Knight and the purpose of the establishment of the academy. If you can do it, go and return to the Eagle Face."
Goode raised his head excitedly and said, "Your Highness, what do you mean-"
"You passed." Tilly walked towards the formation without looking back.
…
It wasn't until 5 p.m. that the first round of test flights came to an end. Two of the sixteen were eliminated, but luckily both survived.
Finkin and Hinds passed the test just after Goode.
When they were dismissed, the two of them grabbed Goode and dragged him to the sidelines, "Are you crazy? Your Highness Tilly said that if you successfully fly, you will pass the test. It's better for you. You hesitated not to speed up at first, and almost hit the wall without saying anything. We even flew out of the college area and circled on the sea, so we weren't afraid of falling into the sea and drowning?"
It was an accident. Good rolled his eyes, "Didn't His Highness ask everyone to do their best before taking off? I didn't know that as long as you complete the pull-up and drop, you will be qualified. I only think about the total score of several actions." It’s always higher than one.”
"You're lucky." Finkin shook his head helplessly.
"You guys are not bad either," he curled his lips. "You took off so decisively without any guidance."
"What? What do you mean without guidance? Didn't His Highness tell you the time to pull the lever?"
"Yeah, I just give less guidance than others," Heinz agreed. "After all, we all make mistakes."
Good couldn't help but be stunned. Was he the only one among everyone who had never received a single instruction?
In the midst of confusion and confusion, the three of them returned to the dormitory area.
As soon as he entered the gate, Good saw Ying Mian standing in the playground with a frosty face.
The three of them shuddered together. In a sense, the preparatory students were more afraid of this instructor than the eldest princess, especially the eyes of the eagle face, which made them unable to escape when being targeted. Like prey.
"S-Sir..."
"You are quite capable. It's not easy for you to cause trouble for me during the day off." He glanced at Goode and his group coldly, "I have already heard Her Majesty Tilly say that you have to be lucky that you are still here." If you have not joined the army, this is not the jurisdiction of the First Army, otherwise..."
"Sir, we realize our mistake!" The three people quickly reflected in the most sincere tone.
"Since His Highness has already dealt with it, I won't say anything more, but as long as you want to become an Sky Knight, you will be a member of the army sooner or later." Ying Mian put away his sneer and said solemnly, "In order to deepen your Impression, to avoid making the same mistake again, in the next month, the cleaning work of the toilet will be completed by you, do you understand?"
"Ah?" Finkin and Heinz suddenly showed bitter faces.
Only Goode raised his hand in excitement and saluted.
"As you command, my lord!" 8)
