Mech Arena : The Book

With the Dean overseeing the new generation of students heading toward the core of the city, transportation was made simple, as they used the teleportation array controlled by the academy.Because of ahow expensive it was to operate, the teleportation array was almost never used. In fact, it was nearly nonexistent in daily academy operations, as the Dean seemed to dread the cost of activating it.He only allowed its use when he wasn't the one paying for it, fortunately for him, the cost of this particular teleportation had already been covered by the city administration, and there were even extra space stones left over for future use. That alone explained why the Dean looked unusually eager and happy despite the fact they were using the teleportation array.Students within the academy were grouped according to their age brackets, and at the moment about three hundred students from the F-Class, all aged eighteen or nineteen, were being transported to the core district of the city.For

After awakening, he was asked to move to the side so he wouldn't stall the line of students still waiting to be tested. Even the old man's tone changed instantly when addressing him, shifting from cold indifference to that of a concerned uncle.However, once the awakened student stepped aside, he called for the next one, his voice turning cold once more.And so, the awakening process continued for all the students of Region C.By the end of it, only about ten students had successfully awakened their systems, becoming the newest batch of super soldiers in Phoenix City.As for those who failed, they had already been escorted out of the hall, their heads lowered, lost in deep thought. Meanwhile, the ten successful awakeners wore smug smiles as they looked at the remaining students from the other three regions.They already felt as though they had surpassed many of those still waiting below.Next were the students of Region D, and once again, a series of heartbreaking failures unfolded. F

"And that marks the end of the awakening process," the old man said after the last student from Region F had been tested.Mr. Charles looked at the three of his students who had managed to awaken and couldn't help but sigh, he then turned to the remaining one hundred and ninety-seven students, his gaze softening.There was so much he still wanted to say to them, but with the three awakened students about to have their talents evaluated, and as their teacher, he was required to be there to guide them and answer any questions they might have after the awakening process."For now, move outside, the Dean will arrange for your space teleportation back to Region F, after I'm done here, I'll address you all when I get back," Mr. Charles said to the students, who all looked dejected and broken.While he was speaking to those who hadn't been fortunate enough to awaken, the teachers from the other regions quickly dismissed their own unsuccessful students, meanwhile, the old man observed everyth

And that was how all thirteen awakened members of Region D completed their talent evaluation. Fortunately for them, another individual among them awakened a rare talent, which immediately stirred up another wave of excitement.Though it wasn't as extraordinary as the mohawk-haired boy who had awakened an Epic talent, however; this individual possessed dual weapon affinities—close combat and sniper, which made him a highly sought out character.The moment this was revealed, the remaining students of Region D lifted their heads high, with smug smiles spreading across their faces, as they stared at the C Region students.Now, they were the ones looking down on the students of Region C with clear disdain, they clearly paid no attention to the other regions students, everything about their attitude was focused on proving that they were superior to Region C.After that brief uproar, things settled. With two standout talents already revealed, the rest of the evaluations for the D region stud

"Ohhh," Jake said as realization finally dawned on him, that explained why the man seemed so kind, he had not expected anyone to extend an olive branch to him at all, but it seemed the captain standing before him held deep sentiment for his parents, which was why he had come to meet him."I think you can probably guess why I came to see you, your parents always said you were a smart kid, so I will not waste time beating around the bush," Captain Zack began."The other two captains who came with me believe it would not be wise for you to join the Region F Army, claiming you would only be a waste of resources, but I think that is a complete lie. I believe you have far more potential than they can see," Captain Zack said to Jake.Jake could tell the man was probably saying all this to make him feel better, but he could not help liking him."So, just like the boy before you, I am offering you the same deal I gave him, if you choose to join, I will let you pick between a Paragon mech or a
