Before the end of the day, Aiden's hand had already been completely healed, and he was ready to return to the academy.Gideon had already been sent back earlier after the base paid a special f*e to have an awakener with a higher-grade healing mech treat his injuries when he gets to the academy.As for Aiden, since he still had a few unresolved matters and his injuries were well within what the Region F infirmary could handle—Considering that the head doctor of the Region F military base possessed an M.D. mech—they didn't rush to send him back.Before boarding the Spatial Teleportation Axis that would return him to the academy, Lionel spent some time talking with him.He told Aiden that after the one-week period was over, he could return to the base and have Silas unlock the final slot in his mech hangar so he could bind with the Ares mech they had acquired for him.And if he managed to unlock it while he was still at the academy, the Region F military would just arrange to have the mec

Alfred was clearly the one who had taken the time to personally explain the details of Jake’s mission to him, and even till now, he could vividly remember how the event of that day played out and even he had never believed Jake would actually be able to accomplish it, as he had felt the old men at the academy were just giving him false hope and trying to push him off without a scene.Back then, he had looked at Jake with eyes full of pity.Yet here they were, just a few days after a month later, and he was finding it incredibly hard to believe that the same student he had not thought much of had become someone the academy desperately wanted.The funny thing was that it wasn’t even because of Jake’s current power, it was all because of the story he carried, the competition was only between the four cities that bordered one another.White Tiger City, Black Turtle City, Azure Dragon City, and Phoenix City.In the past, Phoenix City used to be called Vermilion Bird City, but the current l

The day passed quickly.After Jake confirmed his decision to enroll, Alfred didn’t even wait for Aiden’s Mech Hangar slot upgrade process, which had been the excuse he used to come to the base in the first place.However, when Aiden heard that Jake would be enrolling the next day, he decided to stay at the base and go with him the next day, together.He wanted all of them to return to the academy together, especially after hearing that the entire Scorpio Team would also be making the move; to Aiden, the news just kept getting better and better.He was eager to see how Jake would react to the bullying directed toward Region F students, despite being a charismatic kid that believes he could protect others, Aiden had come to realize that deep down he wasn’t the right person for the job.Due to a few reasons like him wanting to protect an image of a gentle awakener and the major fact was because he didn’t possess the power to openly go against those students, so he had always stayed out o

Arthur was visibly trembling with rage as he felt he had been utterly disregarded with the way Drax just walked away without a word, and the humiliation only deepened when he considered that the individual attempting to ignore him hails from the lowly F region,Merely contemplating the whispers that would follow if he permitted the person before him to simply walk away caused Arthur to snap; as he turned to one of his subordinates with a savage glare and jerked his chin toward Drax’s retreating form,Acting on the silent command, one of his followers lunged to intercept Drax, extending a hand with the intent to seize him firmly by the shoulder,“You’ve got a lot of nerve walking away from young master Arthur, are you tired of living? I’m talking to you!” the awakened shouted as he grabbed at Drax,However, compared to Drax, who is a veteran soldier awakened that have faced numerous life-or-death operations with his squad, such a clumsy approach, that displaced the air and made his move

As soon as Jake showed up, Arthur shoved Drax toward one of his henchmen, it was now clear that his entourage had grown far beyond the initial nine followers.About fifteen people had gathered on his side, and that was just counting those who seemed to belong to his actual gang.A massive crowd of onlookers had also assembled around to see how the confrontation would play out, some of whom had followed them all the way from the cafeteria."You finally showed up!" Arthur shouted, so his voice would be heard by everyone around, he was fully aware that, given the circumstances of how things had escalated, Jake had no option left but to face him and his crew directly to get justice for his squad member.This was the exact moment he had been anticipating. Arthur did not care what measures he had to take; in his mind, this conflict could only be resolved in one way: a fight.Even if Jake chose to back down and avoid him, Arthur's objective would still be met. Because he would have successf
