Besides, while thieves might steal for a thousand days, no one could guard against thieves for a thousand days. If his attacks could not threaten the enemy, how could Xiao Ran guarantee that he would never make a mistake or get hit? If he could not pose a threat to the other side, how could they truly take Xiao Ran seriously as an A-Class Pilot?
Then it would turn into a situation where, since your attacks could not hurt me much, I would ignore you and just go after your underlings.

Using such a machine against an A-class mecha was fine if he was merely playing a supporting role, but it was truly not suitable for actual combat.
However, the construction of that A-class mecha had faced an unavoidable problem from the very beginning.
