"All right, do you know how to operate one?" Jiu Ming wisely refrained from provoking Haruhi any further. Shaking his head, he pulled out a stack of Sealed Cards, only for Haruhi to snatch them away the instant they appeared. The corner of Jiu Ming's mouth twitched slightly. Her hands were pretty quick.
Fortunately, the rule power of the Sealed Cards was quite effective. Haruhi bent one with all her might several times, yet failed to snap it into pieces. Otherwise, the whole house would have needed rebuilding.
"Tch! Who do you think this Regiment Leader is? It's just a mech... Doesn't it have an instruction manual?" Noticing the rather subtle look in Jiu Ming's eyes, she stomped her foot hard and abruptly changed her tune in irritation. Fine, this Regiment Leader would generously refrain from talking too big for now.
"No. I just happened to rob—cough, acquire—these mechs. Why would they come with something like an instruction manual?" Jiu Ming was thoroughly unimpressed with mechs. Their operating speed simply could not keep up with his reaction speed.
Even if Jiu Ming knew how to pilot a mech, he could not endure that sense of "lag." It was like someone capable of clearly catching the trajectory of a bullet with their eyes going to watch a movie...
That choppy, frame-by-frame feeling while watching a movie would surely drive anyone mad. Jiu Ming could do that too, but he could adjust the sensation. Piloting a mech was different.

Still, the mech's core computer was quite impressive. It could perform calculations suited to human movements in an extremely short time; its
