Andrew took the bitter pill and decided to be daring.
Stuck inside the cockpit of his mech, Andrew felt the world around him slow down as his brain came to the precipice between staying idle and making the decision of giving a mental command to his mech through his neural interface.
The world around him slowed down because, well, he already entered the realm of clarity.
Andrew decided to be daring but with some insurance.
Unlike most mech pilots of the nightmare bootcamp, he already gained preliminary mastery over the essence of combat which was murder.
And through it, he mastered the realm of clarity.
At this moment, Andrew banked on the effects of entering the realm of clarity to preserve his life in the most harrowing battle of his life.
His trump card for joining the battle against the abominable Praying Mantis was the superhuman effect that being in the realm of clarity granted to him.
CLANG!
