The Mech Touch

Chapter 6816 First-Class Recruitment

After settling matters with Zanthar Larkinson, Ves met up with his wife later on to discuss how they should treat the new Journeyman.

"Meow~" Lucky swished his tail in contentment as Gloriana lovingly scratched him on the head.

His archemetal exterior felt abnormally warm and soft to her touch.

Gloriana had taken a liking for Lucky. His naughty personality reminded her of Ves, and his archemetal body frequently granted her inspiration on how to improve and develop her mastery of archetech.

As the mother continued to pamper the gem cat, she voiced her own opinion towards Zanthar.

"His design philosophy is too narrow. I mean, he has the potential to become as good as Lord Richard Brownstone, but his repertoire is too small for the time being. I have studied his private mech designs and his work is far below the standard that I expect from a second-class Journeyman Mech Designer. He needs to study a large amount of textbooks and design at least half-a-dozen mechs all by himself before I can even consider the idea of putting him in charge of a serious design project!" Her verdict sounded harsh, but Ves knew it was fair. His own evaluation of Zanthar was not that different.

"Zanthar is not as talented as the Journeyman Mech Designers that we have recruited over the past few years! Ves shared his own opinion. "I have given him a good amount of tutoring and granted him access to a lot of learning resources. His conditions are far better than many other second-class mech designers. While he has managed to come up with an invention that has the potential to revolutionize combat against shielded enemies, the practicality and effectiveness of his Fade Burst Rounds are too poor to be of use. He has nothing else aside from this. If he participates in a mech design contest, he would be the kind of person who will earn a below average score and be completely forgotten by the audience."

He had taught Zanthar for years. Even if he largely took a hands-off approach and gave Zanthar enough space to decide his own curriculum and specialization, Ves did not neglect his student. entirely.
