Xiao Ran had every reason to believe that once his Piloting Skill reached B-rank, and while in the Pure Innovator state, he would absolutely be able to give the Kira he knew—the one piloting Freedom Gundam—a brutal beating. But that thought was still somewhat naive. Xiao Ran had his own skill, and a powerful one at that. As one of the core figures of his world, how could Kira possibly not have his own exclusive skill? And one even more powerful than Xiao Ran's.
Seed of Spirit: Reaction speed, hand speed, Accuracy Rate, and computational speed greatly increased. While active, consumes 1 point of stamina per minute. All attributes +20, attributes increased by 50%. After each use, attributes would receive corresponding increases based on the intensity of the battle.
Strongest Coordinator: All attributes +15. Combat Proficiency acquisition speed greatly increased. Reaction speed, hand speed, Accuracy Rate, and computational speed significantly increased. In combat, attribute bonuses of 10% to 30% could be obtained based on the enemy's strength and numbers.
In truth, judging from their skills and bloodlines, Xiao Ran's current Awakening Burst and Innovator Bloodline (Pseudo) really could not compare with Kira's two skills. Seed of Spirit consumed very little, only 1 point of stamina per minute. In its boosted state, Kira could completely maintain SEED Mode for an hour or two. Xiao Ran was still far behind.
Even more outrageous was the Strongest Coordinator's additional effect: attribute increases of 10% to 50%. It was clearly a case of becoming stronger against stronger opponents, growing stronger the longer the battle continued—the textbook example of a luxury lawnmower. Add in the greatly increased Combat Proficiency gain and the corresponding attribute increases after every use of Seed of Spirit, and even in Prometheus, it would take Xiao Ran a very, very long
