Ves grimaced for a second once he saw that Lanie had suffered another defeat.
"That's six deaths so far. She isn't having the best luck."
He had tracked the young mech pilot's performance due to his prior experimentation on her. He had reason to believe that she could stand out in this competition on account of her excellent skill and piloting acumen.
While her performance at the beginning was good, Lanie quickly fell victim to the qualifying round's excessive chaos.
There was no way for Lanie to guard against ambushes by multiple mechs!
She could not help it if the environment around her virtual mech shifted in an unfavorable manner.
After getting defeated three times during the qualifying round, her swordsman mech performed only 85 percent as good as before.
This gap in comprehensive performance exceeded the differences between mech generations!
