The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3954

Chapter 3954 Demonic Graduation Assignments

When Ves visited the design lab, he entered an office and sat down while studying the contents of a data pad.

He hadn't paid much attention to Maikel Larkinson and Zanthar Larkinson's recent academic progress. The Purgatory Campaign and all of his other responsibilities took up too much of his time.

He never worried about the two, though. Although the pair of Larkinson seeds acted a bit presumptuous at times, their grades were real and they never failed a course since they started their studies.

The data pad not only contained a log of their academic progress, but also contained Gloriana's personal notes on their performance under her tutelage.

Gloriana was effectively in charge of the design lab most of the time. Although Ves officially held more authority, his split responsibilities often caused him to be away for weeks at a time.

Under these circumstances, Gloriana efficiently took over and made sure that every subordinate remained productive.

She also took charge of Maikel and Zanthar's studies during these times. Though her teaching style and philosophy was different, she was already passing on her teachings to Maisie Ann Larkinson and Rennie Larkinson, so it wasn't as if this was anything new and different.

"Hmmm. Your results have actually improved. That's impressive." Ves commenced as he looked at the list of grades. It looks like both of you have embraced your respective passions. Otherwise, you wouldn't have studied these final courses with such enthusiasm."

"Luminar crystal technology is really difficult to get into." Zanthar helplessly said. "I haven' changed my mind on specializing in this wonderful tech, but I don't think I can come close to designing the luminar crystal weapons that our mech pilots love."

"All in due time, Zanthar. You're not even a Novice yet. Even if you are, you still need to take many more steps before you can independently design energy weapons at that caliber. However, once you become good enough to call yourself an Apprentice, I might allow you to assist in the design of future ranged mechs such as the Bright Warrior Mark II or the Crystal Lord Mark III. The experiences you can gain from participating in these projects will provide a massive boost in your understanding of luminar crystal weapons."

Zanthar looked a lot more enthused than before. "Really, patriarch!?"

"This is part of the reason why I have taught you. I expect the both of you to grow into mech designers that can specifically help our Design Department improve our products. We still have many holes in our mech designer roster. It is practically impossible to hire a luminar crystal weapon specialist from the job market, so I can only place my hopes on you to develop this tech in my stead."

Neither Maikel nor Zanthar were stupid. They both knew that Ves and the other Larkinsons had groomed them for a purpose.

They didn't see a problem in this. Both of the young men had received far more attention and tutelage than students who attended actual mech design universities.

While Ves and Gloriana could never come close to matching the orthodox teachings of those reputable institutions, the pair of eccentric but accomplished Journeymen were able to provide a lot more personalized instruction!

All of the individual treatment caused Maikel and Zanthar to become a lot more prepared to work in the Design Department than others!

Other mech design graduates may be smarter and more talented, but they still needed a lot of time to fit into the Design Department and understand their roles.

In contrast, all four Larkinson seeds practically grew up in this place! The design labs were their campus and they had become exposed to the methods of their fellow Larkinson mech designers for several years!

They even made friends with many of the assistant mech designers. As long as the foursome supplemented their knowledge and polished their skills a bit, they could seamlessly join a design team and begin to work shortly afterwards!

To Ves, Maikel and Zanthar were truly treasures in his eyes. No one should be better prepared to inherit parts of his mantle than these trueblood clansmen who completely absorbed the Larkinson style of designing mechs.

"Madame Gloriana told us that we are ready to begin our graduation assignments." Maikel mentioned. "Can you give us the details, teacher? We are eager to become actual Novices."

"Impatient, aren't you?" Ves looked amused. "Well, I like your enthusiasm. Give me a moment. I need to compose suitable assignments based on the results of your studies. This will be the definite period where you prove your worth. The mech designs that you submit this time is not only about earning a passing grade from me. Your work must convince the others that you are good enough to become a productive member of the mech industry. If you only submit a perfunctory design, then what have you been doing all of these years? Any random graduate from a mech university can whip out a boring mech design. It takes true skill and passion to design a unique mech that is marked by your imprint!"

His words heaped up a lot of pressure on the shoulders of the Larkinson seeds.

At the same time, Ves also raised the pair's expectations. They did not shy away from this challenge!

Ves briefly studied the pair of students. Maikel and Zanthar both possessed the typical black hair of their Larkinson lineage. Their faces and their bodies had grown less delicate and more masculine as they grew into their twenties.

The various genetic treatments and other augments they received from the Larkinson Clan had turned them into formidable engineers that were more than ready to begin their mech design careers!

Whether it was their knowledge base, their career preparations, their cognitive functions and their appearances, the pair of Larkinson seeds were much better off than Ves at this stage of their lives!

It should be impossible for Maikel and Zanthar to stumble and fall!

Once he was done with thinking how much his students had changed over the years, Ves knew what he needed to do to end this fruitful period.

"What?! Sir… I… I don't think I can do that yet." Maikel said while looking queasy. "Can't you allow me to design a regular mech?" _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}
