Chapter 911: Settle

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What! Is someone making a move on Sir Garen’s Mech?!!”
In a pub somewhere in Flying Batoid City, Vendant expression changed drastically as he pushed away the beautiful woman at his side and stood up in shock.
“Didn’t I tell you guys to not let anyone know that Sir Garen’s Mech Body is under repair?!” Vendant felt a chill rushing to the back of his mind. His back was soaked in cold sweat.
The expression on Sir Garen’s face when he instructed him was very clear how important that Mech was. This was the body that a Blackboard Academy’s elite pilot regarded with high importance!
If anything happened, 10,000 of his lives were not even be enough to appease Sir Garen!!
Vendant’s shocked expression also affected the subordinate who reported to him. His face paled too as he did not expect the consequences would be so serious. Looking at Vendant’s face, it seemed as though the sky was about to fall!
Vendant paced back and forth in a corner of the pub.
“Notify the City Master immediately! I will assemble the miniature Mech team!” Vendant was decisive and immediately instructed his subordinate to contact the leader of Flying Batoid City.
“But…there’s…there’s still Master Vecil…”
“Damn your but!!!” Vendant kicked his subordinate mercilessly. “If he is enraged, even Vecil will die!!”
He roared loudly and bolted out of the pub, running towards Garen’s dwelling.
*****************
At the courtyard, Garen was quietly practicing what was once the most basic set of secret technique. It looked ordinary and does not seem to be different than those which was generally practiced for wellbeing purposes. However, as he moved around slowly, a faint flow of air around him started to gather and pick up speed.
It was very tranquil in the peaceful Flying Batoid City. The people here were satisfied as long as there was enough food in this radiation belt. What they yearned for was to live a life inside the regions but due to the radiation, they could never return to the region ever again. The only possible exception was their children.
Children born from radioactive people had a chance of not having any radioactive sickness. These babies appeared to produce some kind of antibody due to their radioactive parents, causing them to be immune to certain radiation sickness.
It is the parents’ greatest hope that the people from the region would select their children. Henceforth, their children would soared high with their ambitions and became part of the region’s people.
This was why there were always a lot of people gathering outside the courtyard where Garen was staying. Even with the guards, people still crowd around and most of them were young parents with their children. Some of the children seem be newborns, whereas some were a few years old. There were even children around the age of 11 or 12 who were brought there. Surprisingly, the children had no traces of radiation on them.
These people looked on hopefully at Garen in the courtyard. They hoped that Garen would take a liking to their children. Those who were immune to radiation also had naturally good talent. Training their Willpower would generally yield positive results.
However, even if that was the case, the radioactive people were commonly discriminated against. Adding on to that, those who were able to bring people inside the regions all had very strong background with pilots. That was why the last time Garen and the others were here, these people did not gather around.
But it was different this time. The people found out Garen and the others’ identities from the guards.
The inner court elites of the Blackboard Academy!!
The Blackboard Academy’s name itself was already an awe. 99 percent of the students who gathered there were children of the wealthy and powerful. They all come from strong backgrounds and forces, which helps to add on to their identity as Mech pilots. Although most people would not understand what does ‘inner court’ means, but they at least understood the meaning of elite.
Noble status, elite Mech pilot. Subconsciously, they all started to form such an impression on Garen.
“Sir!! Sir!!!”
Just then, a guard riding a black horse-like creature from afar rushed down the streets, knocking down a lot of people in the process while crying out loud.
The door of the courtyard that Garen was in was actually opened. In fact, he did have the intention of picking a few of these kids and bringing them into the region. He noted a few of those who are talented when they were practicing secret techniques. It was sad to know that these talented ones were not noticed, and learning more from the guards, some of them who were more than 10 years of age also missed the chance the previous two times when a pilot was there. What a pity.
Most importantly, the children here have lots of life experience, and even though they were young at age, they are all very matured and sensible. They knew how to read people’s expressions and moods and were street smart. They could be treated as adults even if they were to be brought into the region. For him who lacked confidants, they could be his subordinates.
Hearing the guard’s cries and rushing in, Garen frowned and stopped his practice.
“What’s the matter?”
The guard rushed down from his ride and panted heavily. He rushed up to Garen and whispered in his ears.
Garen’s expression changed.
“Let’s go!! Bring me there!”
He pulled up the guard and strode out the courtyard.
*****************
Inside the Mech Maintenance Hangar
Vecil had somebody to tie the black Mech to her Body. The cockpit of the black Mech was so cold that she could not endure for long with her physique. However, if the Mastery Energy Ore was cooled, it was likely to release high temperature and melt down. In order to avoid any accident, Veci decide to tie the black Mech to her own Mech.
She was instructing the worker to use the semi-automatic robotic arm to firmly tie the two bodies together.
Soon, both Mechs were bounded tightly.
“Let’s get out of here now!!” Vecil glanced at both of her companions and winked.
Both of them could not keep the the smile off their faces any longer. After knowing that there were so much Master Energy Ores, their whole world was shaking as if a huge pie dropped out of the sky. It took them awhile to react to their findings.
The three of them split up and went to their respective Mechs.
Under Vecil’s orders, the little fat man and the others were nervously keeping a look out so that no one could enter.
“Wait!!!”
Suddenly, a loud growl came from the hangar’s entrance.
It was Vendant at the slope of the entrance gate of the underground hangar. He bolted in angrily and was unsteady on his feet and fell. He picked himself up quickly and continued to run towards Vecil and the others.
“Master Vecil!! You cannot touch that Mech!!!” He shouted as he ran faster. His voice was hoarse from his shoutings, and he sounded as if his mother has passed away.
“What? I cannot touch?” Veci was surprised.
“That Mech belonged to somebody important from the Blackboard Academy!! You must not touch it under any circumstances! Or else the whole Flying Batoid City will be in trouble!!!” Vendant roared loudly as he ran.
“Blackboard Academy’s Mech?” Veci’s heart shook. Her academy was ranked third, naturally she knew how terrifying the number one Blackboard Academy was inside the region. If there were 100 elite pilots, then 80 of them must be from Blackboard.
“What do we do now, Big Sister!?” The young boy was also nervous. He was just still living his fantasy moment but now he was panicking. Robbing a Blackboard Academy’s Mech inside the Blackboard Region, needless to say, it was definitely a capital punishment!
“What Blackboard Mech!! Trying to scare me! Don’t even think about it! Let’s go!” Veci suddenly roared. “How could it be so coincident? We met a Blackboard’s pilot going through their maintenance the moment we go out? We can’t even f****** meet a few pilots in Flying Batoid City in a year!! It must be fake!”
She turned around and rushed into her cockpit even faster. As long as she got into the cockpit and started the Mech, not even a Level Five pilot could catch up with her Level Four Mech at their own speed. Without a body, the difference in speed between a pilot and a Mech on the same level was vast.
Her two companions also came to a realization that with this wealth, even if they could not stay in Blackboard Region, they could still live as they like at Maria Region or Royal Region! There was no need to care about Blackboard Region!
After hearing Vendant’s words, they ran even faster.
Chasing from the back, Vendant wanted to cry but there were no tears. For the sake of confidentiality, he did not tell anyone that Sir Garen’s Mech was being maintained here. This was also Sir Garen’s orders. He never thought that V Academy’s Vecil and two others would be blinded by their greed. This was truly uncalled for.
He thought that the moment he yelled out Blackboard’s name, those three would stop. He never expected that they would actually be more decisive and ran away faster. They were obviously planning to escape with the things they robbed!
Seeing the three of them were fast approaching the lift platform, Vendant knew he had to make a choice. Whatever the stuffs are that made these three pilots so greedy to the point that they are willing to forsake everything, it must be extremely valuable and priceless. Needless to say, even if he sold off his whole family up to his ancestors, he may not even still be able to compensate for the losses. And for somebody with such riches…there was no need to even think, his status is surely higher than the City Master!
If they really managed to escape with the valuable items…not only his whole family will die, all the people here and those related to them would get convicted and killed off by the City Master!
Vendant roared again, waking up all the maintenance workers and the little fat man to their sense. “Do not let them get away! Otherwise it will be genocide for us all!!”
At this moment, the little fat man finally reached his senses. His mouth trembled and he wanted to say something, his heart was beating so fast that he did not know what to say or do.
“Shoot them!!!”
A cold hum resounded throughout the hangar.
Chi Chi Chi!!
Numerous lines of green rays aimed and shot at the three persons who were still running to the lift platform. One of them glared and three, small triangular blue shields floated in mid-air and shielded off the shooting rays.
“Shoot them, shoot them, shoot them!!” The little fat man finally reacted and shouted instructions too. Knowing that he had gotten himself into deep trouble, his complexion was green, and sweat was forming and streaming down his chin and neck non-stop.
All the ray guns used for repairing and maintenance were now directed and shot at the three convicts. Unfortunately, the guns were not powerful enough as they were all used for engineering works and were too short-ranged. Those who were closer managed to shoot but were all blocked by the shields.
The three of them managed to escape into their respective cockpits and close the lids.
“Let’s go!!” Veci shouted.
