Lukas field of vision changed from the bright white room to a lush forest full of green and birds chirping. He looked around for a bit before noticing the system had made a notification in front of him with a prompt that read "learn how to use tank body? Y/N."
Lukas hit yes as he reasoned that he while he was somewhat of a idiot and believed he could learn himself without help he should learn how to use his new body as he's never used it before and that pride won't let him grind sooner. The tutorial went by relatively long going over various things such as moving, aiming, shooting, and changing his view throughout the tank.
Lucky for Lukas the easiest thing to get down was moving as the system said he just had to think of it moving and it would move which was easier to understand but he also discovered that just treating it as if he was walking was much easier for him as it was more second nature for him. The hardest part for him was shooting and switching his view throughout the tank as he had to imagine putting his conscience into the gunners seat to aim better than he what he can do without the gunners view as without the gunners view he had a 80-90% of hitting the target but due to him having a preference for accuracy being higher than lower he practiced changing his view between all of his crew view points. At the moment it's not perfect but it is at a point that he can comfortably and quickly switch between his view points. However. Shooting was much harder for him to understand as from it seemed it was kinda like forceful sneezing but thanks to knowing more about the inner workings of a tank cannon he just imagined the breech propelling the shell forward and it worked much better for him. The final part of the tutorial was him fighting against monsters of different level as he started off with goblins on easy, orcs in the medium, and giants on hard.
After the tutorial finished he was given 10,000 SL and 20,000 GE as a reward. He quickly used his GE on buying premium that would last him for 10 years drained his GE by 15,000 and he spent the rest on SL so that way he ended up with 3.5 million SL but 0 GE. Lukas opened up his research tree for Germany just to see how much it would take for him to research it and was surprised to see that he was a little bit higher up on the tree than he thought as he was a PZ.III F instead of a reserve tank like the PZ.III B. Armed with that information he decided to start making a plan on how he wants to researching things as he can change what he researches whenever he wants he decides that while light tanks are good they aren't famous for their firepower due to that he decideds to stick with mediums for now until he gets to a heavy tank like the Tiger H1 or M4A3E2 Sherman Jumbo.
With a plan set he goes out into the world to see what enemy's or allies he will come across and how much he will get from the battles aftermath. After 30 minutes of driving in the forest he came across a group of goblin riders that where a mile out so he decides to get a little closer to have better accuracy with the shell. After he got closer he started to fire his HE shell and as the shell start to leave his cannon he felt the gasses build up in the cannon propelling the shell forward and as the shell and gasses left the cannon he saw it quickly fly to the center of the goblin riders and explode on what looked like the leader as he was slightly bigger than the rest. When it exploded it ended up taking out almost all of them and the remaining few looked around before noticing him and charging forward to which he responded by using his machine guns to kill the. After killing off the last one he felt the shell get loaded in to his breech which he mentally noted that it took him 5.2 seconds to deal with the remaining enemies.
As the battle came to a end the system gave him his stats for the battle.

Satisfied with what he earned for the day he decided to call it a night as it had became quite late and he was feeling rather sluggish due to being used to sleeping when he was a human. He decided that tomorrow will be the day he starts the grind.
