Was it possible for Carmine mech pilots to break through without using a neural interface?
Ves did not know the answer, and neither did the mechers.
They were not entirely clueless, though. His grandfather Benjamin not only regained his power as an expert pilot, but had grown until he had reached the limit of his rank. This proved that existing high-ranking mech pilots could fully control their Carmine mechs without any apparent complications.
The only question was whether Venerable Benjamin was able to break through.
Although he was far older than the other expert pilots of the Larkinson Clan, Ves was growing less confident in his ability to break through.
Benjamin was too old. His restoration had rejuvenated him to an extent, but there was a limit to how much his willpower was able to 'reverse' the damage and decay wrought by the human aging process.
