John didn't respond. After finishing with the equipment transfer, he turned on the live broadcast of Asode's company news on the large screen in the center of the room. The broadcast reported that Rainfried Blutenshimmer had attacked a neighboring state without any warning, and that the troops of the Helligate army were currently crossing the border into Katharia, while bombers were raining down bombs on strategic targets. It was also mentioned that about forty members of noble families and approximately the same number of servants had died in one of these bombings.

It stated that Rainfried Blutensimmer, without any warning, attacked a neighboring state, and at the moment, troops of the Helligkeit army are crossing the border of Katharia, while bombers are raining down bombs on strategic targets. It was also said that during one of these bombardments, about forty members of noble families and approximately the same number of servants were killed.

Oh, how could this be? While I'm here playing the mercenary, my Führer is punishing the damned feudal lords...

"I think I know where they'll send us."
After taking the armor from John, Mara immediately went to her room: first, she was curious to look around, and second, she was going to try on the armor. In fact, she didn't even plan to change back after trying it on, so she could get used to it better.

Mara's room was a clone of other rooms like it. It had everything needed to satisfy a person's basic needs, including a modern computer. Otherwise, this room was far more luxurious than any ordinary mercenary could hope for.

"The rooms are quite nice, I must say! Though, that's to be expected – if a mercenary dies, the room doesn't disappear, unlike their equipment."
After changing, Mara looked at her watch. There was still plenty of time before the mission, and if she wanted, she could take a few hours to nap. But Mara didn't feel like sleeping at all. So, instead, she went to the recreation area.

- It seems the burden of choosing from this disorganized group falls on Tant Technologies, - noted Ramzan Venling. - I'll be at the testing ground.
He headed towards the elevator.

On the third underground level, no tests were being conducted, and no one was training. Moreover, there was no one there at all. Nevertheless, the automated system allowed you to independently launch a battle simulation program and test your skills.

In the recreation area, everything was as you would expect: in their free time, people played bowling, billiards, played cards, drank alcoholic beverages, and so on.

Having found a free spot, Mara sat down at the bar.

Ramzan remembered how sergeants drilled the troops around the clock even during their mandatory military service – the harsh realities of the Tirian armed forces included constant training, drill, and a life full of hardships. And what went on in the specialized companies, recruited exclusively from the Koranians, was even more terrifying for an outsider to imagine. Yet, even a single Tirian soldier could easily kill a dozen Hellgate creatures or a hundred Vaironian soldiers unarmed, with his eyes tied and his right hand tied behind his back with barbed wire.
It was very strange to observe this entire complex in a state of disrepair. Ramzan initiated a simulated combat program to test his skills. In addition, he wanted to get an approximate idea of what to expect in the service of the corporation and how the masters of the world treat the training of their operatives.

Two more men were sitting at the bar next to Mara, both watching the news and discussing the events unfolding.
— I’m telling you, this won’t end here! This is just the beginning!
— You’re taking this too seriously, buddy. In a couple of weeks, Helligate will occupy the territory of Catharia, and that will be the end of it. In any case, it won’t have much of an impact on our lives.
— The end, huh. Thyria is an ally of Catharia on a cultural level, and there are social classes, monarchs, and oppression of the poor in both places... And besides, they probably won’t like it if Helligate expands its power.
— You’re hopeless, — the man shook his head in bewilderment and then beckoned to the bartender. — Two “Agares,” please, for me and my friend. — The bartender fulfilled the request and poured two glasses of light brown liquid from a bottle with a smiling, mustachioed man drawn on it.

The training program prompted Ramzan to choose a difficulty level (0-5) and the weapon he would use.

Well, there’s Pulik, Granik, and Hell.

Initializing maximum difficulty level...
For a moment, Ramzan lost consciousness, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw not the walls of the second underground level of the TT headquarters, but a beach in a tropical forest. It was raining heavily. At that moment, the subject could not remember that this was just a simulation of a real battle; for him, everything was happening in reality.
... A natural anomaly disabled all implants and the communication device
...
Mission objective: destroy the enemy communication center (located on the central mountain of this island)
...

The ocular implant wasn't working, but that wasn't a problem. Luckily, it was raining, which should make it harder for the enemy to detect him.
Ramzan cautiously moved towards the center of the island, carefully sticking to areas where he could hide from the enemy's sight or fire.

Having found himself in a dense forest, Razman didn't notice a mine and stepped on it. The armor protected him from the main part of the damage, but he couldn't conceal the noise, and a couple of minutes later, he encountered an enemy patrol of two soldiers. Both were armed with assault rifles and wore armor with an invisibility generator. When they started shooting, it became clear that they were using armor-piercing rounds.

Shutting down...

When the program completed the procedure, Razman regained consciousness. The result of his test appeared on the screen in front of him.
Razman Dudayev. 06.06.1257
Difficulty level: 5
Result: 0
The additional information showed that no one had previously passed this difficulty level among the TT employees.

An interesting technology, and in Tyria, they are still running through the old, good obstacle course. The Warrior fiddled with various buttons and turned some knobs, and then requested the system to provide the names of the best fighters according to the simulator.
