NOVEL WEB Chapter 34: Never fail to amaze me
And the recording room was the place where all the servers and monitors were kept to save the data of all those footages.
After entering the recording room, Yamamoto ordered the staffs to cut out the formalities and asked them to show him footage of training hall 8.
The staffs started their work and began to download the footages of training hall 8 from the server, which was connected with the training halls. Since the footages generated per day was in terabytes they used to store it in servers, and whenever needed they just download the specific footages from their respective servers.
While they were waiting for the video to get downloaded, the cadet in spectacles came running and barged into the recording room without permission.
Before anyone said anything to him he went near Yamamoto and showed him the hoodie that he found on one of the benches of the training hall 8.
Seeing the cadet was panting heavily, Yamamoto asked him to sit on the chair nearby and took over the hoodies from his hands. On a first look, Yamamoto remembered that he had recently seen this hoodie, but where he was unable to remember.
"Sir, check in, check inside the pocket." Said the cadet who sneaked out earlier and brought back the hoodie from there.
Yamamoto nodded and put his hands inside the left pocket, but nothing was found there. He took out his hand and checked the right pocket, and this time he found something inside it.
A rectangular-shaped thing, with a lanyard attached to it. Yamamoto grabbed the thing inside and dragged it out from the right side pocket.

Yamamoto "...."
Till that time Aisen was facing towards the screen monitoring the download progress. After some time when he turned behind, he saw Yamamoto holding an ID card and a hoodie in his hands.
"Sir, may I have a look at the ID card? I remember now, that newbie was wearing this hoodie when I saw him in the cafeteria."
Yamamoto didn't say anything and simply handed over the ID card to Aisen.
This time Aisen was the one who got the shock. His expression darkened. All this time he was of the idea that Xin was a newbie, but it turned out he was an MVIP guest of the JSDF HQ.
After seeing his card, not a single word was coming out of him. All of a sudden Yamamoto broke the silence and started to laugh in the silent recording room.
Everyone's eyes were fixated at Yamamoto, as why the Head of the JSDF started to laugh out of the blue. After laughing to his heart's content, Yamamoto stopped and took back the ID card from Aisen.
"Damn this kid!! Never fail to amaze me. Ahahahaha, ahahaha."
Seeing Yamamoto laughing again, Aisen thought he must have gone mad. But he threw out the idea as fast as possible and focused on the word 'this kid' spoken by Yamamoto.
Judging from the lines he spoke, Aisen understood that Yamamoto somehow knows that person, and he must have some other achievements to make him say the line 'never fail to amaze me'. While he was pondering about it, the staffs of the recording room notified them that the download was complete, and they can see the video then.
All of them present there went near the screen and asked the staffs to play the video. The first video was of Xin playing dodge ball against the girls team. Yamamoto saw how Xin was acting dazed after seeing Sarena and how he defeated the girls team in a single turn, though it was pretty impressive but he couldn't find out the reason why all the cadets present in the room were spacing out after seeing his fight.
The next video was of Xin defeating Sarena, and the most awaited video of that time. Aisen, Referee, and the boy with spectacles were paying the utmost attention to the video as they were unable to see what happened in the match before their eyes, and how in the world did that boy defeat the Dagger Queen, she couldn't even put up a fight before him.
Observing the video had a lot of info dumps, the staff skipped some parts and played the video from the part when Sarena was plunging towards Xin to attack him. The staff clicked on the resume button and just like the real fight, the video came to an end within a second. Aisen, the boy with spectacle, and the Referee, these three were staring at the video with their eyes widened and minds blank, even after watching the video for multiple time they were unable to understand what happened in the match.
Yamamoto was also surprised by the speed of Xin's movement and asked the staff to trim out that specific part of the footage and play it in slow motion.
The staffs in charge of the recording room did as they were asked to do and showed the slow-motion version of the video to Yamamoto and the others.
Everyone was paying close attention to the video, sometimes ago Yamamoto was fiddling something on his smartphone but when the video was played he stopped fiddling at once and focused his all attention on the video.
The video started from the part when Sarena plunged towards Xin to attack him. After covering the distance between them with a lighting speed, she went to his side and was nearing his dagger towards Xin's waist region, but before she did anything to him, Xin turned towards his side with a smirk on his face and hit Sarena in her neck. And that was the region she lost her senses and fell on the ground just after a second of starting the match.
Forget about Aisen, Yamamoto, and the others. Even the staffs of the recording room were flabbergasted and astonished by Xin's quick reaction and speed.
"Ahahahaha, ahahahaha, ahahahaha" Yamamoto started t laugh again. Not only Xin's background and skills were extraordinary, his fighting skills were also extraordinary.
Earlier he wanted to recruit Xin as a software developer for the JSDF research division on behalf of its head, but now he wanted to recruit him as a special agent working directly under the President.
Finding such individuals who are good with technology and good in combat was a very hard thing for them, and now that he had spotted one….
