Chapter 315: In Capital Once Again

Chapter 315: In Capital Once Again

Miles looked at the giant minor with a sigh. It hasnt been that long since he left the capital, but he still felt emotional.

When he went to the task center to accept the odd quest, the workers there directed him to Milosh. Miles, when saw Miloshs expression, understood what was going on.

Hello, Dean! Miles greeted by pretending not to notice Miloshs frown.

You spawn of the devil. Milosh saw Miles trying to hide his laughter and got angrier.

So, I heard there is a quest no one is adequate beside me, Miles said with a laugh, making Milosh even angrier.

Get the fuck out of my academy you bastard! Milosh said angrily as he threw out a flash drive.

Miles grabbed the flash drive and ran out of Miloshs room. In the drive, there was information about the quest. Where and when the shuttle would pick him and what the quest was. Although it was a quest specially designed for Miles, Milosh really wanted him to fetch some products from the capital. From Cross Mansion to be precise. From what Miles could understand, what Milosh wanted was about Evenlyns new invention, mechs.

Miles had left the day after and been dropped to the capital. He took the train and arrived at the mansion.

Welcome back, Lil Lord. Kenway greeted Miles at the entrance. His sword on his back, with a smile on his face.

Uncle Kenway! Miles hugged the lonesome guard.

How is your sword training? Kenway asked with a smirk.

I dont focus on the sword, you know. Miles shook his head. Although he learned a lot from Kenway, he wasnt focusing on the sword alone.

It is fine. Go in. Little Miss Marcela has also just arrived. The family should be inside. Kenway answered.

Alright. See you later. Miles nodded and walked in. Inside, he saw Mercer, Malcolm, Evelyn, Merlin, Marcela, Rayen, and Quinn were sitting in the living room.

Look who's back. Miles entered with a smile.

Miles! All of them stood up to greet except Marcela and Mercer. Miles was fine with it. He hugged the rest and sat on one of the chairs.

How is the academy? Quinn asked.

It is great. The encouragement to push students forward is so well designed. It always pushes you to improve yourself. Miles explained briefly.

Cross Academy is better, Mercer said with a snort.

Yes. Three of us graduated from there. Our academy is the best! Marcela chirped into embarrassing Miles, but Evelyns comment made her snort in dissatisfaction.

Sadly, Miloshs little academy is still the best. Its environment and rules are made to make students ready for every situation. This will not change.

How come you came, brother? Merlin asked. As far as I know, it is not possible to leave Beast Breeding Academy before graduating or quitting.

I have received a special task, requiring me to travel to the Capital. I decided to drop by. Miles chuckled as he looked at his mother who was mischievously smiling back. Malcolm caught the stare and facepalmed.

What a coincidence, Evelyn said brightly. At least we are together this year as well.

Miles couldnt help but laugh out loud, surprising people in the room. How is the research going, mom?

Oh, it is going great. We made another breakthrough and are ready to finish the first ever mech in a year. Evelyn explained seriously.

Breakthrough on energy distribution? Miles asked.

How do you know? Evelyn asked with surprise. She just figured it out a week earlier and didnt mention it to anyone else.

When I saw the blueprints the day you debuted it, I felt there was a small issue with the energy distribution and only realized what it was after awakening and learning energy. It would be fine if the element was mild like water and wind for a short run, but if it is a fiery element like fire, lightning, and electricity, it may overload the system. Miles explained while Evelyn was looking at Miles with admiration.

And how would you solve it? Evelyn asked avidiously.

I can only think of two solutions, Miles said and scratched his chin. One is covering the interior of the energy paths with Inanis Alloy, Miles answered while thinking further.

Inanis was an alloy that could be produced from void elemental cores. Throughout the Earth, only two people could melt those cores, three when Merlin copied Malcolms powers. The alloy had the same effect and would suppress the elements. The amount of this alloy was so rare, its price was sky-high. It was mostly used to lock people with elemental powers.

Oh, and what is the second way? Evelyn asked with a smile.

The main point of the mech is it somehow creates a balance between all parts, making energy flow without creating a condition of imbalance. The key part must be the same element as the user to prevent it from getting overloaded. Although it has drawbacks, there are a few advantages to it too.

You figured out the advantages too? Evelyn looked at Miles in surprise.

The documents you sent with the serum helped a lot too. Miles shook his head. When he found the Mind Serum in his living room, he thought it was Merlin who had sent the information. But only now realized it was his mother.

If the main element of the mech is the same as the user, the user can use energy techniques such as Veil. After all, humans can only hide their own elements and not others. Although it will limit the usage of mechs and will make them more expensive, the advantages are worth the trouble.

Correct. Evelyn smiled proudly.

Seems like you already used the Mind Serum brother. Although I didn't know you would come at this time, I was going to visit Milosh to request your leave anyway.

Oh, why? Miles asked in surprise. Is it about race?

It is. Merlin smiled and stood up. Come and see your new ride.
