บท 2353: Gathering of Candidates

The most skilled and powerful mech pilots of the Larkinson Clan each entered the Scarlet Rose's conference room.

It was rare for the expert candidates to actually gather in a single room. Usually, they were confined to their own cliques within the Larkinson Clan. Aside from their elevated piloting ability, they didn't share much in common.

That said, they weren't strangers with each other.

In addition to the expert candidates, Ves also invited Venerable Jannzi to attend the meeting.

Her presence instantly dominated the conference room upon entry. Even if she didn't deliberately exert her force of will, her aura worked similarly to glows. No matter who was in her presence, people couldn't help but become affected by her strong will.

Norms with weaker, unempowered wills were most susceptible to this effect. If most expert pilots weren't so noble and principled, it would have been easy for them to abuse their auras for unscrupulous purposes.
