Chapter 3589 Swordsman Mech Development

There were days when Ketis poured hours into designing her swordsman mechs. She had waited so long to realize her vision and have others make serious use of her work. As a relatively fresh and inexperienced Journeyman, she did not lack passion and enthusiasm in the projects she was leading!

Although the expeditionary fleet had made a pitstop in the Pellysa System, Ketis did not go on shore leave right away. She was so engrossed in her mech design projects that she decided to remain aboard the Spirit of Bentheim for a few more days.

"Designing mechs is so fun!"

The Monster Slayer project was proceeding well. Despite her ambitious aim of sneakily turning it into a training mech for greatsword wielding, the technical complexity of the landbound swordsman mech design was not that complicated.

Only knight mechs were significantly simpler than a swordsman mech. She just needed to pay extra attention to the mechanical details that determined the flexibility, reach, reaction speed, strength exertion and other fundamental properties.

At this level, Ketis was highly particular about getting everything exactly right. Since the Monster Slayer's overall layout and fighting characteristics were based on her own physique, the job wasn't as hard as it sounded.

She even began to apply the new theme methodology that Ves had taught to her. A big part about the project centered around slaying 'monsters'.

Though she clearly imagined her mech being put to use in slaying exobeasts and other biological opponents, she understood that most of her customers intended to fight against other mechs instead.

In order to adapt to this demand, she reinterpreted the meaning of monsters to signify any formidable opponent. Whether they are mechs or monsters, as long as the enemy was strong and difficult to defeat, her Monster Slayer should rise up to the occasion and put up a mean fight even if its overall performance was not that great!

"Just like my fight against that priest guy back then!" Ketis grinned.

To give her mech the capital to challenge and defeat mechs or monsters that were stronger and much more resilient to damage than normal, she had already spent a lot of effort into making the greatsword of her mech as sharp and sturdy as possible.

Though she was limited by what she could do due to the rather middling design budget of the Monster Slayer, she did not think that many other mech designers could implement a sharper sword!

Of course, a sharp weapon wouldn't be of much use if the wielder didn't know what to do with it. This was especially the case for greatswords which deviated significantly from the weapons that melee mech pilots generally utilized.

This was why the second theme of the Monster Slayer was all about greatsword training. This mech design was her first proper attempt to pass on her swordsmanship through this method.

Though she had already made it work for the Heart of Victor back during the Wild Brawl Bowl, it was a lot harder to achieve the same effectiveness for a mass-production model that couldn't be customized for any single mech pilot.

Trying to make this all work was the biggest challenge she faced in this project. She could not rely on book learning and technical accumulation to turn her design into a self-containing training mech, but had to work together with Sharpie to develop the metaphysical properties of the Monster Slayer.

Though the process of experimentation and discovery was difficult and filled with setbacks, Ketis rarely felt more alive than when she achieved a small breakthrough.

So far, her progress on this mech design was on schedule. As long as she continued to solve problems at her current rate, it shouldn't be a problem for her to finish her first commercial project in a couple of months and deliver the design to the Wild Fighter Association.

Her second project was different. The swordsman mech that she specifically designed for the Swordmaidens had to be stronger and more specialized than the relatively 'simple' Monster Slayer.

Though both of them shared numerous similarities, the focus on the first proper mech model she intended to provide to her dearest sisters and comrades purely lay in maximizing combat power. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

She partially based the design of this Swordmaiden-exclusive mech to the First Sword, the expert mech that she played a large part in developing.

Though the First Sword was far too powerful and exclusive to be equated to standard mechs, its overall performance characteristics still served as a useful example to many Swordmaidens.

Venerable Dise was the quintessential Swordmaiden. She fought like one and largely employed the same techniques and fighting approach from the original Swordmaiden greatsword-wielding style.

Though the expert pilot had branched out in order to develop a sword style that fit her even better, the way she fought with the First Sword still gave Ketis a lot of inspiration for her second mech design project.

"It's not a bad idea to design a mech that is based on the First Sword." She determined.

This was why she decided to call it the Second Sword.

Though her fellow Journeymen looked oddly at her when she decided to settle upon this name, Ketis didn't care. The name did a good job at reflecting the identity of this Swordmaiden mech design project.

While the First Sword was meant to lead the charge and fight the strongest enemy champions, the Second Swords would follow right behind and fight the hordes of weaker opponents with nearly the same degree of ferocity.
