The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5262

Chapter 5262 Possible Arrangements

Ves had spent so much time dealing with both friends and allies that he almost forgot that he was supposed to teach a class again.

He felt quite strange about resuming his teaching duties.

He had become a tier 3 galactic citizen. That put him on the same leaders as the heads of first-rate states and highly regarded Master Mech Designers. His status had leapt so far ahead that returning to an ordinary lecture hall and teaching a mundane class seemed like an enormous waste of his time!

Ves shook his head. He did not agree with the interpretation that he had become too 'good' to undertake mundane duties. He was not that big of a snob.

Besides, it went against his principles to leave a job or commission unfinished.

Unless a situation arose where it became untenable for Ves to teach his classes any further, he intended to stick to the original agreement.

The need to counterbalance his growing ties with the Red Association by deepening his relationship with the Terrans and the Rubarthans also played a factor.

His personal assistant had already scheduled a meeting with the Inferno Spear.

This would be the first time that Ves spoke directly with an actual prince of one of the largest human empires to exist.

Even if the New Rubarth Empire had been castrated by the Big Two, that did not stop it from becoming a major player!

Its cultural norms had spread far and wide. Many people admired the Rubarthans for their proactivity and their commitment to meritocracy.

Unlike the Terran Confederation where one's birth decided one's station in life, every Rubarthan could theoretically rise to the top no matter their starting point!

While the infamously large and expansive Rubarthan Imperial Household served as a notable exception to this rule, even its many princes had to compete amongst themselves in order to prove they deserved to wield actual power.

The Inferno Prince was one of the descendants that the Star Emperor was most proud of, and that was a major accomplishment considering that there were thousands more princes that were vying for the same honor!

Ves frankly felt horribly underprepared to talk directly with such a powerful leader. Minister Shederin Purnesse and his team were doing the best they could to prepare for this important undertaking, but they were woefully ill equipped to do a proper job.

Still, Ves did not really worry too much that he would commit a faux pas or cause unnecessary offense during the upcoming virtual meeting.

What truly mattered was his relationship with the Destroyer of Worlds. So long as he retained her favor, the other Rubarthans would not dare to mess around!

This was why he did not feel unnecessarily weighed down by the time he moved down to the Hyper Chamber.

Once he passed through the entrance of the high-tech compartment, he wondered whether it was worthwhile to upgrade it yet again.

"Nah. There is no urgency to upgrade its capabilities."

Ves threw the thought out of his mind and engaged the connection to the Eden Institute of Business & Technology.

Nothing unexpected happened. Despite falling out of contact for over a week, the permissions hadn't changed, so the Hyper Chamber soon built up a remarkably precise and high-fidelity simulation of an office environment.

A familiar woman dressed in a noticeably dressier business outfit awaited by the side.

"Welcome back, professor!"

"It's good to see you again, Miss Striker." Ves nodded in her direction. "Before we begin to go over my upcoming class, I'm sure you Terrans want to talk to me about other matters. Has Master Laila Rebecca Devos requested for me to meet with her once again?"

"That is not the case." Alexa responded in a more formal and officious tone. "The Terran Alliance is deeply interested in starting up a dialogue with you, but it takes time to ensure the best possible outcome. For now, I shall act as the point person between you and my colonial state. If you wish to make a request that isn't large enough to require the input of a senior leader, we can fulfill it without any unnecessary delay."

"That sounds great. I don't have any particular requests at the moment. Well, that might not be true. I can guess that my courses have become a lot more popular than before. I don't want my newfound popularity to disrupt my classes and interfere with the teaching process. Those kids signed up to learn how to navigate the frontier and design living mechs. They should not suffer any setbacks in their attempts to become the best possible mech designers."

Ves still cared a lot about passing on his knowledge and did his part into preparing the next generation of mech designers for their future duties and responsibilities.

Seeing the Red Kingdom emerge from the original Kingdom of Mechs had a profound effect on his attitude towards his profession.

He especially felt pained by the fact that the Polymath had come close to corrupting its pure essence!

Ves gained a whole new respect and appreciation for the profession of mech design and all of the people who endeavored to keep it alive and vibrant over the centuries.
