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
Sniping From Miles Away.
“Isn’t he the one who awakened a Common talent?” One of the guild leaders from Region E turned and asked the military personnel from the E region, and they confirmed it by nodding, and the guild leader immediately started laughing about it. His behavior made Zack extremely pissed, but he held back his anger and continued watching, if there was one thing Zack understood, it was that despite the way the man had asked the question as if he were merely curious, that wasn’t all there was to it.There had been an ulterior motive behind it, for those in Region E, they simply liked picking on Region F for everything, almost as if they didn’t want them to progress.Almost as if the fact that they could bully someone weaker made them feel better, by mentioning that Jake was only a Common ranked-talent super soldier, the man had managed to undermine what Jake had just done._ _However, while all of this politics was being played out, Jake had finally started his own business, he swiftly moved
Cold Hearted Sniper 1.
While Jake was running around like some cockroach that simply refused to die, those watching just couldn’t help but be drawn toward the small Lancer mech that had already taken down two mechs and was currently sitting in first place.As of right now there seems to be an agreed silence pact among them all as they just kept watching as if they were trying to figure out how the chase would end.Many of them had not believed Jake would be able to accomplish anything, much less with a Lancer mech. However, after he killed the first mech, the E region guild leader had opened his mouth to claim it was just luck as the distance was too far for the victim to react and that it would run out now that his location had been exposed, however many of them present understood what it means to be able to take apart your opponent from that far, the battlefield never gives the chance for the opponent to get ready.Yet before the man could even finish bragging Jake had still gone on to kill the second me
Top Mech.
“What is he trying to do?” Zack asked, though he wasn’t speaking to anyone in particular, but even the other two beside him didn’t reply.That alone showed how engrossed they were in watching Jake's battle, and it wasn't only then it was just of the military personnel present.Though battles had already started in almost every corner of the battlefield with gunshot ringing everywhere, however; most of them were still heated one-on-one clashes with only a few deaths so far. Even the Mohawk guy from Region D, whose name is Magna, only had one kill to his name.And Jake, whom they had expected to lay low after managing to avoid being cornered, had actually done the opposite.Jake, on the other hand, had done a long and careful analysis of who he should take out first, on one side there was the Juggernaut, which he immediately removed from the equation because it would definitely take far more than two or three bullets for his shots to become critical.The main issue was that he wasn’t s
Cold Hearted Sniper 2.
As they kept firing at Jake, he held tightly to his sniper weapon, raising it up and waiting for his chance to counterattack, then Jake noticed that the assault on him had suddenly stopped, yet he could still hear gunfire nearby. That made him peek from the side of the pillar he had been using as cover to see what was happening, that was when he saw a Paragon mech was attacking his assaulters from behind, forcing them to turn and face it, since any hit to the back could easily result in critical damage, they picked to take care of the Paragon mech who had a chance than him who was cornered.Once again, Jake was grateful that this was a free-for-all battle, because he immediately started moving out of there since the chance presented itself, he had only been seconds away from being obliterated himself, as the pillar he had been hiding behind would have been destroyed after a few more shots from the Juggernaut RPG, leaving his low-health Lancer exposed to the mercy of the Slingshot’s r
