SOR Rapid Reaction Defense Force's Main Airbase

Hanki and Yagou were in the visitor seat of the Air Show. Crawford was accompanying them.

(Fascinating, that so-called highway is astonishing, but I could finally see the metal dragon's fantastic capabilities from a close distance.)

It wasn't just Hanki, Yagou also was interested in the capabilities of the metal dragon. After all, it was necessary to confirm the report about the unidentified unit. That duty was shouldered by Yagou from the Foreign Affairs Ministry.

While both of them were sweating in their nervousness, the Air Show began.

For common citizens to enter the base and interact with the military was something that was strange for Qua-Toyne Principality's common sense. However, seeing the large crowd of people who came to observe, Hanki felt that this country's military was loved by the people.

"Right now, the X-49 will perform an acrobatic flight. Please look at the sky on your right. The X-49 will approach with a speed of 900 km/hour."

"Wh-......!"

"What did they just say!? Sir Crawford! Did they just say 900 km/hour? Am I mishearing things!?",The agitated Hanki began to address Crawford.

"Nope, you didn't mishear it. The announcer indeed says that the fighter's speed is 900 km/hour."

From the right side, a flying object was approaching in silence. Then when it approached the visitor seats, finally they begin to hear a sound.

"What incredible speed!"Hanki yelped.

The X-49 that was covered with non-glossy grey paint, began to climb in a trajectory that was close to vertical. The surface of its wing cut through the air, which then formed a white cloud, from above and below the wing tip, which then parted as if it was a white wake of a boat in the sky.

A thunder-like roar resounded in the surrounding area. From behind the object, there are 4 short rods emitting a bluish glow could be seen. It was the glow from the ion engines. That aircraft then in that short time span had disappeared into the blue sky.

Silence

Hanki and Yagou, both of them were lost for words at the starfighter that they saw for the first time.

"Please look at the sky on the left. The previous X-49 has returned back."

"Eh!? Already?"

"Such maneuverability!!"

"X-49 will approach with a speed of 600 km/hour and then will turn in front of everyone. During this time, the pilot will experience a great amount of G-force."

The X-49 made a sharp turn in front of the audience seat.

"Look at it go!,So it has a maneuverability this great......"

Then it climbed again.

"Even with that position, it could even ascend again?"
