Chapter 1556: Looked Down Upon
A young and athletic man collapsed in exhaustion after running his umpteenth lap. No one else was present in the large and well-equipped training facility aside from William and his designated trainer for the day.
Once Ves and Ronsel entered the main training hall, they quickly strode over to the occupants.
Ves peered down at William's sweaty, fit body. This was the body of a warrior and a mech pilot. If anyone told him that the person occupying this body was an abject coward, he wouldn't believe it at first.
"How has this fellow fared under your care?"
"Poorly." Ronsel sighed. "Young William here is by far our most confounding student. We have never encountered a mech pilot who is so completely helpless when it comes to actual mech combat. In fact, forget about mechs, he's not even able to bring himself to spar with our trainers."
CREATORS' THOUGHTS

Exlor Character Creation Event Update!
On May 31, I conducted a raffle and selected additional submissions at The Mech Touch's unofficial Discord server. Thanks to all of the fans that have attended my hour-long livestream!
The following two character submissions have won the raffle:
Lupo - by lyonnedas - crazy cook and exobiologist - submitted on Instagram.
Davia Stark - by ZeroiaSD - refugee and hidden expert pilot - submitted in comments of chapter 1526.
The following two character submissions have impressed me with their quality and rich backstory while also matching my intentions of what I want to introduce in subsequent chapters:
Ranya Wodin - by Raile21 - apprentice biotech expert - submitted in comments of chapter 1526.
Brutus Wodin - by BattleLord - expert mech pilot - submitted in comments of chapter 1526.
I will implement all four winning submissions into The Mech Touch, but not entirely at their current power levels. As all of the characters are a bit too powerful and exaggerated, I will inevitably make some adjustments to keep them in proportion.
Please keep in mind that it will take some time for these characters to appear in the story. I will probably be able to introduce all four characters within 100 chapters by my estimate.
