I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1703 A Scary Situation



Chapter 1703  A Scary Situation

Hye already let many of his warriors watch these beads to learn, even including those who didn't yet have the chance to raise their levels. Yet watching these beads and facing the real test of flying this ship was totally different.

"Please tell me you can fly it," the nymph lady said in doubt while watching how puzzled and confused Hye was.

"It's easy peasy," Hye paused before adding, "I used to fly things like these before. So it won't be this different, right?"

Hye wasn't lying. During the past twenty years, he learnt how to fly a fighter out of curiosity. It was a very refreshing feeling, one that he started to love and feel addicted to.

That was mainly the reason behind his confidence in flying this spaceship without training. He knew the control unit looked much different, but luckily the two sticks there looked like the single stick he used to control the fighters back then.

He wanted to test how to fly this spaceship, but he wouldn't do it here. So he had to wait until he'd go to outer space, and see what each stick did.

"Get ready," after ten minutes, Shaggy's voice came from a far distance away, "You are going up there in five… Four… Three… Two… One… Go!"

The next moment, Hye saw the entire world change. It became pitch black, with lots of red glaring lights that flashed in front of his eyes.

It didn't take more than a few seconds before everything changed and space appeared. Hye always thought of space to be a grand empty and black space, with tons of brightly lit stars at different distances.

Yet when he came up there, he knew this was wrong! First of all, this world was just next to two bright stars, and they were shining brightly, blinding the sight in two different directions. He was sure he was too far away from these stars, but it felt like he was standing in front of them.

Aside from these two blinding lights, there were lots of rocks, debris, and other stuff flying around. When he looked closer, he realised these were things that remained after the destruction of many spaceships.

This made him look around fast, to spot one big planet that was far away from him. It felt like he was millions of kilometres away from that world. If not for the shining bright shield that surrounded it, he'd easily miss that world.

"Sh*t! He sent us directly in the middle of the ongoing battle," The nymph lady shouted, jolting Hye awake. In the next moment, he noticed the flashes of light that passed by him.

He first felt worried like the nymph lady, but next, he started to grow cool. "They are mistaking us to be a damaged ship as we are sitting ducks and not moving," Hye paused, before adding, "Let's examine the fight around first, get to familiarise ourselves before we'll join the fray."

Luckily this was exactly what was going on here. Others were busy fighting their enemies and took the ship that stayed motionless there as being damaged like others.

But this peace was destined to end quite fast. Hye and the nymph lady started to study the intense battle happening around them. In fact, this battle was just the tiny tip of the iceberg. The entire war stretched far beyond what these two's eyesight could reach.

The peace lasted for less than an hour. During this, they started to get accustomed to how space wars happened. "I hate to admit it, but I really feel regret about not accepting that smuggler's offer," the nymph lady said, and then a flash of light appeared fast.

It came from one direction, but it was too hard to not notice it. It kept growing in size while heading towards them. "We need to go," as this was one of the common pulse cannons used in the war around, Hye got what was going to happen, "Buckle your seatbelt, we'll flash like a bolt of lightning!"

During all this time, he felt an urge to switch his spaceship on and fly it in the middle of this messy battle. But he didn't have a reason to do so until now. The moment he spotted this ball of light coming towards them, he instantly pressed the button to operate the spaceship and the next moment he controlled the two sticks without any speck of hesitation.

Even if he didn't know what each stick would do, he had to try it out the hard way.

"Agh! I don't want to die, I don't want to die!" The moment he controlled the two sticks, the spaceship moved. And yet it didn't move in the same way he wanted to.

Instead of flying like a sent arrow, the ship started to roll and roll on itself, while moving in a very weird trajectory. As that happened, they started to hit against many things, stuff that Hye didn't know what they were and didn't care.

"Stay alert, you have the main firing interface," Hye shouted, "when I say, you'll fire everything without caring about any direction or target!"

"Are you insane! Let's get out of here first…"

"Just do as I say," Hye couldn't see a single thing like herself, however, he was sure this weird movement of them would attract the attention of many spaceships flying around. And that meant they'd get lots of fire towards them.

He began to grasp what these two sticks were doing. One was responsible for directions, flipping the spaceship and moving it in any direction briskly, while the other one was responsible for the subtle movements that would be needed to evade any impending disaster.

As for speeding up and slowing down, he had to use both sticks and synchronise them at the same time. Pressing them forward would accelerate, pulling them backwards would slow the speed, and making the two sticks not aligned together would lead to the same situation that was happening right now.
