There was a reason why Ves spoke those harsh words. It wasn't because he liked to bully his students or wanted them to fail.
The design office fell into silence as Ves kept his mouth shut for a minute. He gave Maikel and Zanthar a bit of time to reflect on themselves and how lucky they were for receiving the tutelage of one of the most accomplished Journeymen in human space!
Although Ves was not a Master Mech Designer or Star Designer, his qualifications were vastly superior compared to most teachers!
Whether it was his proven commercial success or his many masterwork certificates, his insights and understanding of mechs were extremely valuable!
For years, the two young men had access to much of it without encountering too many barriers. They never questioned whether they actually deserved the treatment that they received. Ves feared that this would cause the brats to develop an inflated sense of entitlement.
