"Ketis, do you love to design mechs?"
"Uh, yeah. I do." She answered rather lamely as she flipped her hair over her shoulder. "I was always smarter than my fellow sisters. The Swordmaidens rewarded me whenever I performed well on a test. Eventually, Lydia herself called me up to her office and told me that I was smart enough to become an engineer. She gave me the choice of studying to become a ship engineer or a mech designer. You can probably guess what I chose."
"If you chose to become a ship engineer, we wouldn't be talking to each other right now." Ves siad. "Tell me why you insisted on studying to become a mech designer. It's one of the hardest careers you can pursue. To make it this far, there must be a reason that is driving you forward."
Ketis looked reluctant to share her thoughts. However, she eventually relented after being stared at by Ves. Somehow, his unusually sharp gaze evoked a measure of fear from her instincts.
Privilege is Webnovel's version of Patreon subscription. You pay more Spirit Stones than normal in order to gain access to varying amounts of advance chapters.
Unlocking both regular and advance chapters still require you to pay Spirit Stones, but the hefty discount that I plan to offer will offset the cost.
An important reminder I would like to add is that Privilege is completely optional. I will still update twice a day at the same price as before. Nothing will change for regular readers.
