What was it like to enter and fight on a real battlefield?
Every mech cadet wanted to know this as soon as they started their studies. No kid could restrain their curiosity and yearning towards actual combat.
Unfortunately, there was no way that any responsible mech academy would bring any of its students to the battlefield. The risks were far too great and there was no way to control everything that took place in such a chaotic environment.
The battlefield was not a classroom! It was not a place for underaged and immature mech cadets either!
The only real taste of large-scale battles that mech cadets ever got to experience was when they entered into the ones prepared by their simulation systems.
Of course, it was well-known to all of the mech cadets that the simulated battles were nowhere comparable to the real experience.
