The atmosphere in the Prosperous Hill System changed considerably over the last three days!
While Ves had been isolating himself in the workshop in order to prepare his mechs for the next phase of matches, the citizens of the Life Research Association vented their feelings in public.
The state's proud biomech industry, and by extension its entire biotech sector, was under attack!
"How can a foreign mech designer who is younger and less experienced than Frederico Navarro gain the upper hand? It's impossible!"
"Don't worry just yet. Biomechs are a lot better at picking themselves up. I bet that Navarro's biomechs will be completely healed by the time they step into the arena! That Larkinson fellow will weep at the sight!"
"What if we lose? The reputation of our strongest industry will tank! No one will think highly of our products anymore!"
