Saint Tusa understood his role well. It was not his job to land the killing blow this time. He was not expected to do any damage in the first place. His only job was to keep his ace mech alive as best as possible while attracting the attention of the Diffraction Lord and the Biopod Mother.
This was not a debut where he needed to play the main protagonist of the show. He was supposed to fulfill his role as a side character and create opportunities for the real hero to save the day.
Saint Tusa completely accepted his role.
There was a time and place where he could play the hero of his own story, but that day was not today. He had fully accepted that he was the student while Saint Dostoevsky was the master.
Soon enough, the Master was about to showcase what he was truly capable of. The Mirage ability was just the tip of the iceberg. Tusa grew more and more excited at the prospect of witnessing the power of a peak ace pilot up close.
