Innovation was never easy.
If the Carmine Conscript could easily forge a Blood Pact with a relatively ordinary human individual, then Ves could have sold his design application a lot easier.
He wouldn't have designated the Carmine System as his main research direction in his quest to realize his design philosophy if this was the case.
One of the reasons why he had not been in a hurry to design further Carmine mechs and conduct experiments of this nature was because he did not have much confidence in his chances of success.
The first two successful results happened under special circumstances. Most mech pilots lacked the strength and advantages of Venerable Jannzi and Venerable Benjamin.
What happened just a moment ago was fully predictable. Ves felt sorry for Leon Di Maggio, if only because his name would likely be forgotten.
Only the candidate who succeeded in forming the Blood Pact deserved the right to go on public record!
