The Mech Touch novel Chapter 2926

Chapter 2926 - Stubborn Determination

As an expert pilot who dedicated herself to piloting a single defensive mech, Venerable Jannzi Larkinson did not make her life easy.

Ves already discovered that every expert pilot was abnormal. They were defined by their deviating qualities.

Still, there were differences between different expert pilots. Some of them exhibited more eccentricities and abnormal behavior than others. Venerable Jannzi and Venerable Joshua both existed at the opposite ends of the spectrum in this regard.

He had long tried to guess the reason behind these differences. If possible, he wanted to steer the development of future expert pilots so that they didn't all end up following Venerable Jannzi's footsteps.

Right now, the doubt and stubbornness shown by Jannzi with regards to the future configuration of her expert mech gave Ves a powerful clue.

Becoming more narrow-minded and developing a strong adherence to specific values and self-imposed principles all helped to hone one's will. At the same time, a strong will also caused expert pilots to become more focused and eccentric.

It was a positive feedback loop. As expert pilots continued to develop their unique strengths, they became more obsessed with their personal causes.

From what little Ves knew about ace pilots, it appeared that it was not only essential for expert pilots to remain true to their convictions, but to go a step further!

The more a high-ranking mech pilot progressed, the more he or she became removed from their prior humanity.

Was this a good or bad development? Ves didn't know. He hypothesized that expert pilots that leaned towards Jannzi's approach would be able to progress faster and reach greater heights.

As for less-focused and more 'human' expert pilots like Joshua, they had to navigate a lot more hindrances in order to keep up with others.

Yet Ves did not believe this was the full story. The phenomenon of high-ranking mech pilots was much more complicated than he currently knew. The MTA poured centuries worth of studies on them and still couldn't explain anything. How could Ves possibly do any better?

Sure, his unique background allowed him to make observations and delve into theories that many other researchers were clueless about, but he seriously doubted that Star Designers and the top researchers of humanity made no achievements!

Therefore, he did not fully commit to the ?ssumption that expert pilots like Venerable Jannzi had a brighter future ahead of them. Of course, he also had a bias for more human expert pilots, and he wasn't afraid to admit it. The fact that Joshua happened to be his biggest fan and helper also played a significant role.

Ves would rather have a single copy of Joshua than five copies of Jannzi!

Venerable Joshua was an obedient, open-minded expert pilot who could easily be manipulated. Not only that, he was open to piloting all kinds of mechs, allowing Ves to choose his role according to the needs of the Larkinson Clan. Any mech designer would love to work with a pliable expert pilot!

Therefore, even if Joshua followed a more difficult path to the top, Ves was more than willing to invest in him and help him overcome his barriers. He might also learn a lot about how expert pilots progressed, thereby allowing him to apply the lessons he learned to other powerful individuals.

Besides, Qilanxo was already her patron. The big lizard's understanding of spirituality was very comprehensive, if not entirely applicable to humans. Regardless, the former exobeast entered into a symbiotic relationship with Jannzi, so it was in her best interest to help her human partner thrive.

As Ves thought about the peculiarities of expert pilots, Venerable Jannzi remained in thought while petting Lucky. The tired and exhausted cat continued to luxuriate on her ??p.

It was as if Lucky was Jannzi's baby!

Though she hadn't made her thoughts known yet, Ves could feel how her thoughts swung by reading the changes in her force of will. The strong protective vibe she exuded rippled in different ways according to her thoughts.

The direction of these fluctuations started to make Ves more and more concerned. He did not like where this was going.

Her eyes sharpened as she looked up from the mechanical cat she was pampering.

"Ves." She spoke, her tone making it clear that she had already made up her mind. "You have brought up some good points. It is untenable for me to fight the way I have done so far. I cannot deny that I have failed to do my duty by stopping the Trost piloted by Venerable Kelvin Praetor during the Battle of Reckoning. I have been reflecting on that moment many times myself. If I piloted a faster mech, I could have cornered the Trost by coordinating my movements with the Amphis piloted by Venerable Linda Cross."

In the end, the Amphis managed to entangle the Trost with its chainsword, but that was only after Vincent Ricklin and Taon Melin bailed the Larkinsons out by breaking through to expert candidate.

His forces had to learn how to secure victory without relying on low-probability events like sudden breakthroughs! Ves couldn't keep depending on winning a lottery to get himself out of a difficult situation. It was much more reassuring to win battles in the most direct fashion rather than resorting to creative solutions.
