Homecoming

Royal Mechanical University.

As Sulu walked through the campus, he felt the power of the Spirit World pouring into him every moment, replenishing the Ghost Mecha's energy.

"Even an ace mech pilot can be targeted for assassination once they leave their mech... but I don't have that weakness. With a thought, the mech immediately envelops me."

"And it automatically draws energy from the Spirit World, so there's no possibility of running dry..."

"Unfortunately... I'm still missing the final step."

Sulu arrived at a garden, where he found James and Shalina.

"You're not an ace..." James stared at Sulu before suddenly speaking. "Yet you can pilot a Level VI mech? How did you do it?"

"By using super-sense to control the mech perfectly... your theory succeeded." Sulu nodded.

"It succeeded?!"

James wore a strange expression. Beyond his delight, he somehow felt as though he had become someone's useless tagalong.

How had the research succeeded before he had even begun to contribute? And with such a tremendous result?

"Junior Brother... sigh... you really leave me not knowing what to say..." Shalina sighed as well.

An ace-level mech pilot!

Even the Nature Society had to treat such a figure with the utmost caution. In fact... the Nature Society did not possess such a nation-defending force. Otherwise, it would have long since stepped out of the shadows.

After all, the resources needed to build a Level VI mech were terrifyingly vast.

Sulu had only succeeded by exploiting a few loopholes. The Ghost Mecha's materials were not conventional mech materials, and he had also extracted a fortune from the kingdom. Even then, it had only barely worked.

Of course, even without an ace mech pilot, the Nature Society possessed extraordinary power enough to make these people wary. Otherwise, it would have been wiped out
