Chapter 4070: Starting from the Bottom

Roughly 3.5 percent of the total population of humanity possessed the right genetic aptitude to pilot mechs.

Perhaps it was difficult for them to pay for the tuition that mech academies charged.

Since mechs were so popular and so prevalent in the public consciousness, practically every teenager with at least decent genetic aptitudes chose to pursue their childhood dreams and study to become heroic mech pilots!
