Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Athena, who was wearing a black training outfit, was holding two training long sticks in her hand, and was waiting for Ivan on the street on the edge of the beach.

Seeing his physique instructor, Ivan was not as shy as before, but waved at her as usual.

After all, the only person who can be 'immune' to Athena's appearance, or even not interested at all, should be Ivan and his father William.

The smiling Athena walked slowly towards Ivan, leaving the concrete street and coming to the beach.

She flicked her hand, threw a long stick forward, and raised her voice: "Next."

"ta~"

As soon as Ivan raised his hand, he caught this very tough training stick.

Then he looked at Athena who had approached, still without any facial expression, but his tone was a little helpless:

"Teacher, the morning training is over, it's time for me to rest."

"Talking." Athena knocked Ivan's head off with a long stick, and raised her left eyebrow lightly and asked:

"Ivan, with your physique, running fifty laps around the island shouldn't tire you."

Then he walked towards the center of the beach, and shook his hand and said, "Come on."

"Hey..." Ivan had to sigh, holding the long stick and following behind Athena.

really.

Ivan, who inherited William's physical fitness, can be said to be handy in running or sprinting.

So he can easily reach 300km/h now, and can maintain it for at least four hours.

It is also possible to reach a speed similar to his father's, but the maintenance time is too short, and it is still too young after all.

Moreover, Ivan also learned through some 'small experiments' that he also has a super self-healing function, but Ivan does not dare to try his own limit for the time being.

"Come on."

Athena took off her military boots and socks and stepped barefoot on the hot sand.

Turning around, holding the long stick in both hands, making a classical preparation posture, and smiling at Ivan: "Come on."

Ivan just shook his head, also taking off his socks and military boots.

Holding the stick in his right hand and his left hand in front, he made a stance similar to a horse stance and deliberately showed weakness: "Teacher, you can let me, after all, I am...

Four. years old.! "

"Hey-!" A broken voice.

"嘡——!" The crisp sound of two long sticks colliding.

I just saw that Ivan rushed out quickly while speaking, swung a long stick with his right hand, and smashed at Athena with an afterimage that was difficult to catch with the naked eye.

!

Athena obviously didn't expect that Ivan would use some... indiscriminate tricks to strike first.

But no matter what, she was still a 'God of War', and immediately raised her long stick to resist Ivan's attack.

The two kissed each other.

It's just that in terms of power, Athena directly has the upper hand.

She put her face close to Ivan, who was slightly shorter, and scolded: "Hey, kid, aren't you a bit rude."

The blue veins of Ivan's temple wrinkled, gritted his teeth and said, "Father said that no matter what tricks you use, as long as you can win, it is a good trick!"

talking.

Ivan changed his head-to-head moves, but suddenly took a step to the left, unloading Athena's mighty power.

"Boom-~!" Athena's long stick smashed directly on the beach, splashing half-meter-high sand.

After Ivan made two rolls, he kept his distance from Athena, and clenched the long stick in both hands in a defensive posture.

"Huh...ha..." and panted, "Hey...Teacher, I remember my father once said...let you and the colonel take care of me, that's right..."

"Little brat, every time is justified!"

At this time, Athena didn't look like a goddess at all, and she even seemed a little annoyed because Ivan "played" her twice in a row.

Without further ado, Athena wanted to swing her stick again.

"Om-!"

"Cough cough!"

The sudden noise of the hydrogen engine and a light cough interrupted Athena who was about to teach Ivan a lesson.

I saw that the five Warthogs had just arrived at the beach near the two, and Kent, who was wearing a school uniform, left the Warthog and walked to Athena's side.

He frowned slightly and said in a very serious tone, "Athena, although you are a god, don't forget your identity."

"Colonel, I actually made the teacher do my best." Before Athena could answer, Ivan stepped forward to explain.

After seeing that the Warthog has a group of USS and UBCS wearing biochemical armor and AAES III, he changed the topic and asked:

"Colonel, is something wrong?"

Hearing this, Kent no longer bothered about the scene just now, but nodded and said solemnly: "Yes.

In Ethiopia, near Lake Tana in Bahir Dar, some kind of giant man-eating animal was found.

Agents hiding nearby have implemented lockdown procedures and called for support from containment forces.

So I need to personally lead the team and go to the Kenya base to direct this containment operation. "

"Oh?"

Ivan held the long stick beside him, and his left hand made the same habitual movements as his father...

Holding his chin, he analyzed: "Shouldn't the support agent be the responsibility of the containment fleet?

(looking at Kent) Was it my father's order? "

"That's right." Kent nodded lightly, turned to the Warthog and explained:

"The boss said that I should be responsible for directing the containment operation. The main purpose is to let you observe and learn from the side."

"It turned out to be so." Ivan said suddenly.

Kent boarded the co-pilot of the first car and said to Ivan and Athena: "Time is running out, get in the car and prepare to go."

"Good." (x2)

Master and apprentice answered in unison, and then boarded the back seat of the other Warthog together.

"Om-!"

With the roar of the hydrogen engine, the team quickly drove out of the beach to the street, and headed to the base building complex on the west coast.

During the driving, Ivan deliberately leaned close to Athena's ear and whispered:

"Teacher, pay attention to control your temper in the future, otherwise it will not conform to your goddess image."

!

Athena immediately pinched Ivan's thigh calmly, but her voice was extremely gentle and said, "How could I be angry? I'm a goddess, right?"

Feeling the needle-like pain, Ivan quickly changed his words and said, "Yes."

——————

…

After half an hour.

Inside the command center of the Kenya base.

The command center is still the same as before, with a large number of display screens and technicians, and a center console with various functions in the center.

And standing next to the center console is Kent, and Ivan who is changing into a tailor-made military uniform.

The 3D imaging on the center console shows the 3,000-square-kilometer Tana Lake.

Lake Tana is surrounded by dense jungle and swamps, and red circles and question marks are drawn on the eastern shore of the lake, indicating the presence of anomalies that are about to be contained.

As for the outside of the red circle, it is the troops marked with blue arrows, most of which are agents and UNSC troops who came to assist in the blockade.

At the same time, a unit marked with a green arrow is quickly heading to the blocked area.

This unit is led by Cortana, and wears PIA (power infiltration) armor of Spartan II, as well as a large number of USS and UBCS.
