The week-long interruption of classes initially disappointed the students.
Much had changed since then. The significance of being a student of one of Professor Ves Larkinson's had skyrocketed all of a sudden!
A lot of news and rumors started to emerge surrounding the mysterious conference that Professor Larkinson had apparently been invited to attend.
None of the Terran expected that some of the most explosive stories about what happened during the event organized by the Survivalist Faction centered around their professor of all people!
Ordinary students who didn't have any special connections such as Klaus Robar-Fulton initially doubted the veracity of these crazy tales. He did not know his professor well, but he found it difficult to accept that a second-class Senior Mech Designer could confront the likes of the Star Designer or sway the opinions of the majority of the mechers in attendance!
