'I...
I lost...
How...?
Why...?
We used the same Knightmare frame model, same combat routine, same weapons, and the same training.
Why did I lose?
I should have at least been able to have a draw.' Soran Ibrahim dazedly thought inwardly as he was taken off from inside the cockpit that was ejected from the main machine body.
"Hey, Soran? Are you okay?
You should tell us if you got some kind of concussion alright?" Soran's mechanic partner said as he shook Soran a bit to get his attention.
There are many mechanics in the Colosseum and they are mostly paired up with their pilots, these mechanics are mostly for fine-tuning and adjusting, they also double as some kind of information center when in battle because some pilot forgets to check some important things on their machine-like the energy and how much ammo is left.
They are like those staff at the pitstop of car racing sports.
The drones can only repair mechs based on preprogrammed specs and blueprints and not more.
"Oh..." Soran was startled a bit from that shaking but he quickly calmed down and his expression was not even affected, still the same sharp look. "I'm fine."
"You seem out of it though, it's already been an hour since you got out of that cockpit.
You should be quite used to being banged up already from all the practice you did before, right?" the mechanic partner said.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Soran said as he got up from the patient's bed and then started walking back into the hangar to immediately start repairing the machine assigned to himself.
Yeah, he helps in doing things on his machine so that he would be more familiar with it.
"Damn, man. You are going to work already?
Aren't we going to continue watching the fights?" The guy said with an exasperated tone.
That made Soran pause for a bit before going in a different direction, onto the arena sits.
"Yeah, that's what I thought too!
Good bro!" The guy said loudly with a cheeky smile on his face.
They then watched the battles until the end.
Most staff of the Colosseum are allowed to watch the matches, only the ones that are needed somewhere or on duty are not allowed.
People work on shifts.
"So...
What's up?" The guy asked suddenly as they go their way back into the hangar.
"I was thinking about the reason why I lose and thinking about what to do." Soran said honestly as he knows that this guy will certainly pester him if he did not answer honestly.
This noisy and active guy was specifically arranged by his manager to be his mechanic partner based on his personality.
"Hmmm... I heard something from the others that might be able to help.
I think it was because you did the same thing as everyone else and everyone else has more experience than you are.
They said that this is also the reason why that spear guy and that other hammer guy are quite successful.
It was because they have a unique fighting style.
They are latecomers too, like you, it's just that they joined a little earlier.
Those two also tried going for a sword and shield style like everyone else but they quickly realized that they can't catch up to everyone in terms of familiarity and expertise on the weapon.
So they thought that they might as well try out something they like.
This is what I heard a few times from different people at the canteen before.
I even heard that this is mostly what the newcomers are having a problem with.
It seems that it would just become more exaggerated, the more time passes by because the gap in familiarity and mastery of weapons would become bigger and bigger.
Sigh...
This development honestly felt like some kind of wuxia thing.
You know, those Chinese martial arts media?" the guy said while gesturing with hands along the way together with a comical expression, a really good storyteller, he is even changing his voice to sound like someone else and also giving out some kind of sound effects.
Soran got into thinking as he heard what his mechanic partner said to him.
He then realized that that seems to be the case.
He then started thinking and planning out what to do, like testing different weapons and fighting styles, just to find out what suits him best.
Meanwhile, in space...
"Welcome, to our new home sweet home!
Hahaha!" AA shouted as they got off the ship that they used to get to their current location.
They, AA, Marianne, CC, and Nunnally, are currently in one of AA's hidden space bases, a hollowed huge asteroid near earth.
This one is very big and a bit stationary, it was only accidentally discovered by Veda what earth was passing by the place it was on before.
AA then made it so that it would follow an orbit around the sun just like earth, it is farther to the sun than planet earth so it has to move faster by a bit just so it would be able to just follow from the back, not getting closer or farther.
"Wow!" Nunnally exclaimed loudly as she hopped around while looking everywhere.
"This place seems good." Marianne said with a nod as she felt that this surely feels so sci-fi.
"This place is quite far from earth, and the whole base should be very big right?
Just transporting the amount of sakuradite needed to power up this place would be a problem already.
How are you powering up this place?
And bullshit me with solar energy cause I did not see any solar panels outside.
Using panels would expose this place to the outside world so you would surely not use that as the power source!" CC said as she observed the place.
"Right? Hehehe...
Muhahaha!
That's right!
I am such a genius!
I'm so handsome and smart!
I am also the best dad there ever was!
What a sad thing it is to be invincible, isn't it?" AA suddenly acted like a maniac in a very funny and annoying way, depending on who is looking at him while he does this kind of thing.
