The First Two.
Meanwhile, while the three captains of the Region F Army were busy arguing over Jake's future, he was having a hard time deciding which weapon affinity talent to purchase.Buying the Common version of any weapon affinity before him would cost him 5,000 System Coins, but before making a decision, he chose to open the beginner gift package displayed at the edge of his system interface.The moment he tapped it, the box expanded, covering his entire screen as it shone brightly before spilling out its contents.[ GIFT ]> 5,000 System Coins (formerly called System Points)> 1,000 B-Coins> 500 Pilot Coins> 1,000 Implant Parts> 1,000 Common Mod Parts> 50 Elite Mod Parts> 10 Fortune KeysAs someone who had once been addicted to playing Mech Arena in his previous life, most of what appeared on his system screen was things he was incredibly familiar with.However, what truly caught his attention was the Status Tab.[ Status Tab ]Name: Jake FernandezRace: HumanTalent Rank: CommonWeapon
Choosing Mechs.
Though Jake had no idea what had been said about him or how much Zack had fought to ensure that he retained the mech his parents had worked so hard to purchase, because in the end, Zack felt it didn't matter if his companions resented him for standing up for Jake. He just believed he had done the right thing, he didn't mind giving them something to hold against him in the future, even if he might one day regret his choice. For now, all he cared about was doing what he believed was right.As for regret, the other two captains had already warned him that if Aiden eventually rose above them in rank considering his talent, there was a chance he might remember this moment and act on it.But Zack dismissed that thought, because they hadn't been there when Aiden signed the contract and they didn't see what he saw, in his mind, Aiden didn't seem like someone who would be that petty._ _While the three students from Region F waited beneath the F Army Space ship, discussing how much their li
Choosing Mechs 2.
As for special abilities, every mech type comes with a unique ability imprinted into it during its creation, so once a super soldier integrates a mech into their hangar, they gain direct access to that ability, even when they are not inside the mech.It's similar to when a character equips an armor in a fantasy game, where certain effects or resistances are granted simply because the item is equipped in the character's loadout, that's how special abilities function.Of course, the effect is usually stronger when the super soldier is inside the mech, but even outside of it, using those abilities, especially in life-threatening situations adds a certain thrilling edge to it.For the Paragon mech, its special ability is called Boost, it's considered one of the most basic abilities, but at the early stage, it is highly sought after because it provides a noticeable increase in speed.This boost can be used to evade otherwise fatal attacks or to suddenly increase movement speed during comba
Choosing Mechs 3.
The misunderstanding Gideon had been holding onto was finally cleared after the captain's present explained how Jake was entitled to the mech, yet he still looked like he had just eaten a fly.All this time, he had believed that the Ares mech displayed at the front was meant for Aiden. However, after his outburst earlier, he realized it was actually an inheritance left to Jake by his deceased parents.Now, as he watched Jake prepare to scan it, he couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy, he had always seen Jake as the weakest among them, and while that might still be true in terms of talent, a mech like Ares could change things.At their current level as one-star pilots, Gideon knew that if Jake used it properly, defeating him might not be so easy, but then he remembered something—Jake didn't have a weapon affinity.That thought instantly made him feel better, convincing himself that despite having two mechs through inheritance, Jake was still nothing more than a weakling with a us
Getting The Party Started.
After Aiden had picked his weapons, Gideon went next, he also chose an RPG 6, since his weapon affinity was Missile , and the RPG 6 was literally one of the best low-rank missile type battle weapons.Because of its explosive perks, it was a weapon that not only dealt high damage, but could also damage everything within a small radius of the point it struck.So if the person being targeted was only trying to dodge slightly out of the way, they were practically making a joke of themselves, because the only real way to avoid the damage of an RPG was to not be in its path at all.Also, if there was someone else standing close to the target, that mech would also be caught in the blast because of the explosive effect, and sometimes, if the weapon was upgraded to make it strong enough, it could even destroy the second mech standing close as well.And just like Aiden had collected two copies of the weapons he chose, Gideon did the same with the RPG 6, claiming that there wasn't any other Miss
Party Started.
Zoooom!!!!The first sound Jake Fernandez heard the moment he placed the VR pod on his head and lay back was a machine-like hum, almost as if some type of system was coming alive.He was sure the VR pod had some way of connecting to his Hanger System, though now that what he had wasn’t really the Hanger System anymore, so he was hoping there wouldn’t be any problems.However, it seemed he had been overthinking it, because nothing went wrong, and it looked as if the darkness he surrounded by was just the stimulation system coming online, because in the very next second he found himself standing in a dark Hangar showroom,lit only by soft white-bluish LED lights that blinked slowly around the space, and before him stood his two mechs, he could also see the empty slot on the right where his third mech was supposed to be, but since he didn’t have one yet, it remained vacant.Then an indicator appeared before him, as if asking him to choose which mech he wanted to deploy first, funny enoug
