Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

The instructor poked his head out from behind the car door, following the visitor from the Mechanical Court, and tentatively asked, "What do you think..."

Normally, such performance would have doubtlessly indicated a passing grade in the official Mech Pilot examination.

Training can only bestow Mech Pilots with the ability to execute basic tactical maneuvers proficiently; the truly powerful Mech Pilots have always needed to be tempered on the battlefield.

The selection for official Mech Pilots is but the most fundamental of assessments.

However, today, with the dignitary from the Mechanical Court present, there may well be additional considerations.

"Where is your control computer?" the visitor from the Mechanical Court extended his hand backward.

The instructor obediently handed over his tablet, "Here."

As a pair of iron-gray metal palms gently grasped the tablet, invisible data transferred instantaneously in some form of wireless communication, "Let the others continue their evaluation."

"Yes, sir!"

The instructor turned and went into the carriage, conveying the visitor's instructions to each group of Mech Pilots awaiting their assessment.

As he turned around, he found his tablet thrust suddenly before his eyes.

"Transfer that tutorial video to him."

The "him" in question was naturally Group W0721, which had completed a full set of technical moves perfectly during their assessment.

"Yes, sir."

"Have him practice diligently. After everyone else has finished their evaluations, I want to see his performance."

"Yes, sir!" The instructor's voice was elated.

This was a sign that the dignitary from the Mechanical Court had taken an interest!

As long as one could meet these demands, the path to joining the Mechanical Court was virtually guaranteed.

Switching the vocal channel to specifically target Group W0721, the instructor said with a trace of excitement, "Later, I will send you a video. Watch it closely, learn it well, and after everyone has finished their assessments, it will be your turn to perform alone... Seize the opportunity."

The dignitary from the Mechanical Court was right behind them, so his words couldn't be made too explicit.

Bai E replied steadily, "Received, instructor."

Click to send...

With the revival of internet technology, the once limited data transmission efficiency of local area networks is being progressively phased out.

Ordinarily, transferring something like a video would start at an hour, but with today's technological innovations... In just a minute or two, the video on the tablet had been delivered to the display screens visible within the Mecha.

The instructor wasn't idle during the transmission process.

'Let me see what the standard of execution is for them at the Mechanical Court.'

The instructor had always known that the Mechanical Court would select individuals from the armored corps, but earlier, he wasn't an instructor. By the time he became one, none of his trainees had caught the eye of the Mechanical Court, and he was curious about their required standards.

Thanks to the good fortune of his trainees, he could finally get a glimpse of just how strong an operative from the Mechanical Court really was.

The video opened to a beautifully sleek sky-blue Mecha, startling the instructor to the point of nearly throwing the tablet away.

Fast!

Fierce!

Ruthless!

These were the many first impressions that raced through the instructor's mind upon seeing the video.

The video was split into two perspectives: one showcasing the Mecha's external performance, the other the Mech Pilot's actual operation within.

Observing the external performance of the Mecha alone, one could see its decisive, fierce nature, with its multitude of intricate built-in drives moving fluidly, surpassing even the physical performance of ordinary humans and entirely lacking the stiff mechanical feel of standard-issue Mech Pilots from the military barracks.

If one were to focus on the pilot's actual handling inside, the numerous corrective actions would make one's scalp tingle; even two well-coordinated Mech Pilots still required countless synchronized command outputs. It was precisely those seemingly complex commands that allowed each part of the Mecha's body to work in perfect synchrony, showcasing an astonishing fluidity.

If ordinary Mech Pilot training simply required learning to walk and jump properly, then the Mechanical Court's expectation was to make the Mecha appear as nimble as the human body, or even surpass the limitations of flesh, in pursuit of unrestrained freedom of movement.

Was this the Mechanical Court's basic demand of its internal members? Strong! Incredibly strong!

However, the instructor soon began to worry for the cyborg Mech Pilot duo that received the video.

If he himself couldn't perform those top-level maneuvers, how could they grasp them with just a brief period of trial and training?

Or perhaps what the dignitary from the Mechanical Court wanted to see was the degree of improvement, not expecting them to master it completely in a short time.

That would be a little too terrifying...

"So... so difficult." Rose, having watched the video from start to finish, felt her eyes sting.

It was no longer a question of whether they could achieve the maneuvers, but even keeping up with every action demonstrated by the pilot in the video seemed a simple task.

Each action demonstrated had a purposeful aim; after watching with the goal of learning, she couldn't even comprehend the meaning behind many of the operations.

"Remembered it all?" Bai E's voice came through.

"Huh?"

Bai E saw the blank expression on Rose's face and found his answer, "It seems you didn't remember... We'll just watch it in slow motion a few more times."

"Yeah." Rose responded instinctively, her mind focused on understanding and memorizing the operations, her brain considerably slower to react to anything else.
