Ketis shared a few more ideas on future upgrade directions for the First Sword.
Many of them did not sound as dramatic as pairing up the First Sword with living fey, but Ves did not mind. He was glad that his former student possessed an adventurous spirit and kept trying to think up ways to give her mechs an edge over the competition.
If Ketis did not possess a strong enough enterprising spirit, then she would never be able to excel in this industry.
A mech designer who only sought to keep up with the competition had already lost from the beginning, because such a loser only needed to suffer a single setback to fall behind!
In contrast, a much more innovative mech designer like Ves who managed to gain market dominance in several product categories managed to build up a lot of strategic depth. If he ever fell into a disadvantage, he could continually cede market share in order to buy enough time to make a comeback.
