Chapter 79 First Time Driving A Spaceship
79 First Time Driving A Spaceship
"These are all Grade 1 Techno-vert Spaceships or to put simply, the lowest grades of spaceships for absolute beginners.
Low ammunition, Low engine power, Low Material Amalgamation but manageable Agility..." Instructor Moneca said as Zeras arrived in front of a spaceship.
It was in the shape of a mini-plane but short while two huge engine nozzles could be seen at its sides.
The one in front of him was in a dark-red color of the EIA, with the materials glowing beautifully and sleekly.
Instead of tires, four claw-shaped metals could be seen beneath it supporting its weight.
Zeras looked at the Spaceship and he couldn't but say this was the best piece of flying technology he had ever seen as he slowly entered into it.
The insides were two seats with different buttons arranged near the glass window.
Zeras moved towards the seat as he sat on one of the chairs, feeling extremely comfortable. When suddenly a holographic image appeared at the sides with Instructor Moneca's face on it...
"Sit down, and wait for a minute. Let's wait for the other chicks to take a thousand years to enter into their spaceship." Instructor Moneca said causing a chuckle from Zeras...
Zera's hands unconsciously trailed on the button as he couldn't help but swallow looking at the perfectly looking buttons properly labeled.
"Now...You've all experienced what sitting in a spaceship is. Before you take off, there's something I need to tell you...
The first is that the greatest mistake you can make as an Inter-dimensional Combat pupil is to allow yourself to sink into the comfort of the seats. I know some people among you are doing it right now, and perfecting your butt in the seats, but I tell you, that's the quickest way to die. So get up and sit straight..."
Zeras immediately dragged himself as to be honest, he was also guilty of that. Who wouldn't want to sink into such a comfortable thing though...
"With that said, the next thing you need to know is that red button just by the side of your seats..."
Zeras bent his head to the side as he looked at his seat and saw the red button on it.
"That's the escape button, once you realize you're about to crash, then press that button and you'll be immediately shoved upward by the spaceship with a gigantic balloon in your shoulders to avoid you breaking more than 10 or 20 bones on landing on the ground..."
'A minimum of 10 bones???" Zeras almost screamed out in shock...
"With that said let's get into the training. The right button in front of you is the..."

3 hours later...
Zeras finally nodded as his heart beat hard in his ribcages. After 3 hours of repeatedly learning about the functions of the buttons and how to ascend and descend. He finally felt he was prepared to feel this baby.
"Now, you can all start your spaceship and move 100 meters into the air..." Instructor Moneca said as Zeras took a deep breath in to calm his beating heart.
Closing his eyes for three seconds, he quickly collected his thoughts...
"Let's do this..."
Zeras immediately moved his hands toward the side of the seat as he drew out the safe belt and strapped himself in...
Done with that, he immediately pressed over 7 buttons as the spaceship let out a deep rumbling sound, the engine slowly awakening.
After about five seconds of the engine, he finally got hold of the control, as he held on to a green-colored button and the engine slowly ascended into the air...
An AI Voice rang out to him from the scanner image in front of him...
"Engine Starts... At 30% Engine power... Ship is ascending into the air, 10 metres, 30, metres 50 metres, 70, metres, 100 metres..." Immediately it said a hundred meters, Zeras removed his hands from the button as the spaceship stood in the air.
"Activate Scanning mode of a thousand Kilometers..." Zera's voice rang out in the ship...
"Scanning mode activated. 100 Kilometers scanning begins. Successfully activated scanning for a thousand kilometers..."
A green image appeared in front of Zeras as he looked at the red-colored spaceship drawing which signified him and around him were about 100 blue-colored spaceships which were positioned around him...
At the far front of the radar, a gigantic Spaceship could be seen with a size twice his own...
"Congratulations, on ascending to a 100-meter height...Now slowly follow me while avoiding knocking into another student's spaceship..." The Voice of Instructor Moneca rang out from the side holographic as Zeras grabbed and looked at the radar where the gigantic Spaceship could be seen slowly moving forward...
His hands moved towards the control as Zeras slowly pushed It forward and the spaceship also began moving forward...
" You are 20 meters away from the spaceship in front of you. 21 meters from the spaceship at your left and right and 20 meters from the spaceship behind you..." The Radar voice rang out as Zeras maneuvered the spaceship forward, slowly following Instructor Moneca's Spaceship along with hundreds of other New cadets...

30 minutes later...
09:14
"You all were able to follow after me, without knocking into each other and keeping your pace. You should clap for yourself as you've completed the 2nd beginner level driving."
Instructor Moneca said as Zeras said into the air...
"Clap, Clap, Clap..."
He didn't dare to move his hands away from the control even though nothing would happen if he did.
"Now, since you're able to do this effortlessly, then what say we move into the Level 3 beginner level... I'll be moving at a speed of 60 km/hr and you all should try keeping up. I've created an Artificial Radar barrier around me. The farthest person from me is at a distance of 50 meters. The Rader barrier is 100 metres, so you guys try not to be 100 meters behind me and also make sure you don't run into any spaceship around you..."
Zera's eyes narrowed as he looked at his radar and noticed a blue barrier appearing which was far behind him...
"Hmm, so that's the blue barrier? I just have to make sure I don't come in contact with it and don't run into others, simple..."
Zeras grabbed onto the controller as he shifted it forward causing the speed of the spaceship to increase to 55km/hr, extremely close to Instructor Moneca's spaceship speed. Since instructor Moneca's spaceship was moving at 60km/hr. Then he won't be left behind if he moved close to her speed of traveling and be able to fairly maintain his position..."
Zeras wasn't the only one to think this way as the entire students also moved close to or at Instructor Moneca's speed of traveling, successfully avoiding moving too far away from her and also running into another student's spaceship...
The training continued with Instructor Moneca continuously increasing her spaceship speed to 120 km/hr and the students were still able to keep up on learning the hack.
"Now stop at 50 meters distance from where you are and slowly descend..."
Zeras moved the Spaceship and once he arrived at the mark, he dragged the control back to its starting point causing it to stop, and also held onto the purple-coloured button allowing the Spaceship to slowly descend.
As the spaceship landed on the ground without moving again for a minute, its engine stopped as an AI voice rang out...
"Auto-engine off activated..."
Congratulations and get your ass away from that seat..." Instructor Moneca's voice rang out as Zeras unbuttoned the Safe-belt and exited the Spaceship... n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"You all have completed the Beginners training..." Instructor Moneca said loudly as the cheers of the New cadets rang out and even a small smile appeared on Zera's face...
"I never thought it would be that easy..."
Before I get blasted by a student of Aeronautical Engineering. Please I'm only a writer-stage author. And hey this is an advanced spaceship... The ways of driving it will definitely be different than how it's normally driven... So I'm not wrong...[Just Joking...]
