Clint Beza stared speechlessly as a large chunk of metal flew out of the river in front of him and slowly landed next to the shore. All he could hear were the sickening screams of Red Moon.
"It's so wonderful, how many years has it been, how many years haven't I felt what it's like to have a body..... Tsk-tsk," Red Moon's voice was full of joy.
"This alloy sure is good, I never thought we could find such a wonderful alloy material in this garbage region, it seems to be useless after all."
"Are you happy, Master?" Clint watched as the pieces of metal piled up behind him.
"Of course I am, after fishing for over ten days, I only managed to gather these few things, I guess I must be happy for now." replied Red Moon quickly.
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't waste time, you have to get ready to combine this!"
"Combine it all, you want me to combine it all?" Clint gaped.
"How am I going to match it, I have no idea!".
"What are you afraid of, I'm right here!" said Red Moon dismissively.
"Combine them and then we can go get more resources!"
"But how do I do that!" Clint was finally at the end of his rope, gripping his hair tightly.
"You still don't feel it?" Red Moon's voice took on a serious tone.
"What?"
"Your body, your body's hidden willpower, has finally kicked in."
"Oh, yeah?" Clint didn't understand.
"Willpower? Since when do I have willpower?"
"You idiot! If you didn't have willpower, how would you be able to do so many things?" shouted Red Moon.
"The attribute of your willpower is to move material things! You idiot!"
"Ha?"
"Ha, your ass! Now move!"
"But this is so great! I can go back and get someone to help me...? Clint scratched his hair in frustration, saying under his breath.
"Go and move! What the hell is this about getting someone else!" Red Moon was even angrier now.
"You've got me, the number one Forbidden Mech core in the universe, helping you, so what the hell are you afraid of, move!"
Clint was completely helpless, if he wasn't going to help, he would surely get electrocuted again. He was sick of that seizure-like sensation, so he had to obediently climb up and find the lightest piece to carry.
Pointing to the black basin-sized shard, he rubbed his hands together and reached up to grab the edges, pulling it tightly.
Buzz!
The shard was surprisingly light.
"Huh?" Clint was stunned, weighing the piece of metal in his hand.
"It's so light..."
"Light, my ass! It's because you got stronger!" Red Moon continued to scold him
"You think I've been electrocuting you and wasting my energy all this time? Learn a little more wit!"
"But why would willpower be like that?"
Clint might be dumb, but that didn't mean he didn't have any general knowledge. Willpower wouldn't be so strong as soon as it was activated.
"Shouldn't willpower be very weak at first and can't be used on material things and people, right?"
"Do I seem normal to you?" Let me tell you that I am so awesome that even my urine smells good, besides the secret techniques I taught you!" Red Moon was a bit full of himself now.
"If it were just a normal medium or low-level Willpower activation, it could end up like what you said, but if it's me doing things, do you really think it would be that kind of garbage?" he chuckled. The Nine Mega Cannons training method trains the Willpower to match my electric healing, so the effect is truly impressive! Tripling your strength is a minor issue!
If your talent weren't so mediocre, if you could learn my galactic extinction technique, I guarantee you could become Superman in a second!
Upon perceiving the surprise in Clint's expression, Red Moon became even more arrogant.
"How cool...!"
Of course, who do you think I am? Back then, I just swept through... Hey, let's forget about that, hurry up and combine them! This is the combination plan! Remember it carefully!
Red Moon changed the subject and sent a blueprint directly to his brain.
According to your wishes, you can choose your support members, so the first one you chose is Baylon.
"Yes!" Clint nodded solemnly.
I'll ask him last.
"Why the hell would you ask that?!"
But this time, Clint decided to ignore Red Moon for once. Seeing how quickly and determinedly he turned on his Watch Terminal, Red Moon didn't scold him for once.
Soon, the call to Baylon was made, and on the other end, Baylon's beautiful smiling face appeared on the screen.
Where did you go, Clint? There's a lot going on in the store, how could you not come to help?
Lon, there's something I want to ask you.
The more time Clint spent with Red Moon, the more mysterious and complicated she seemed to him. I also didn't know if it was right to involve Lon in this, but I had the feeling that once I took that path, I might really not be able to go back later.
What's happening? Tell me. Seeing Clint so serious, the smile on Baylon's face also froze slightly.
"If you had the opportunity to become a true pilot and drive your ideal Mech into battle, but in exchange had to face many dangerous and problematic things, would you choose to take that risk?" Clint asked carefully, choosing his words with caution.
"I would!" Lon paused for a moment and then responded with determination.
She lowered her head, but behind her hair, her eyes shone with the light of the desire of her dreams.
I want to catch up with my brother... I... Becoming a pilot... has always been my biggest dream. Isn't it natural to face danger in battle?
Her voice weakened, but her eyes became brighter.
"But all of this is just a hypothesis, alright, forget it and come back to help." The owner is getting angry. laughed again.
I understand. Clint suddenly cut off communication.
"I've decided, I choose Lon."
"Sure?"
"Yes!"
"Even though that guy isn't good, he's much more talented than you."
Hmm...
The confirmation printout I gave him includes the training method of the Brilliant King Jisaiya. Since you are sure, I will activate it now, understood?" Red Moon asked again.
What do you mean by activating the imprint?
That means I will send the training method to his mind and, at the same time, I need to activate the potential of his body using the electricity I gave him last time, so that his Willpower reaches Level One. "That's what you call Level One Willpower," explained Red Moon.
"Can we reach Level One so easily?" Clint was completely stunned.
And what's wrong with me?
You are already level one.
Red Moon was left speechless.
Of course, without my activation, if you had received a normal training method, you could be training for several decades before being able to enter level one.
"But I'll warn you in advance, that guy Baylon..."
There is something strange about their body, so there might be some odd changes after their imprinting is activated, it would be best if you are mentally prepared for that.
"What changes?"
I don't know for sure either. After this, it will be better if you keep practicing the training method correctly every day, just as I taught you before. Find some heavy things and carry them with you, that training method requires the least talent, all you need to do is work hard. If all goes well, you can definitely reach seven or eight levels.
I understand... It's just that... isn't this unfair to those people who had to train for so many years just to reach Level One of Willpower..." said Clint while scratching his head.
"Unfair?" Of course they are different from you," explained Red Moon, her tone becoming softer.
"Your willpower was enhanced and activated with the help of my imprint, unlike theirs, your willpower has a major flaw."
"Defect? What defect?" Clint was starting to worry.
Half of your Willpower comes from you, and the other half belongs to me, so when you use it, if I don't agree, you won't be able to control your Mech with as much freedom as they do.
Moreover, after leaving the Mech, your willpower will be halved.
In other words, no matter what you do, you must make sure your opponents don't find out who you are.
If they catch you when you don't have it in your Mech, the willpower you can use will only be half of what it usually is, and the result, hehe, you know what will happen.
A few days later, Garen, who was bored, decided to send some messages to the mother of his current body to ask about the family's well-being.
The new jobs of Nonosiva's parents suited them very well, and they put all their energy into adapting to their work. They had spent many years working at the lower levels before being promoted to new positions that were neither too high nor too low. These positions were perfect for them.
They were not aware that their rise was due to Garen's efforts. Instead, they assumed that their silent contributions had finally been duly noted by their company, which had decided to promote them to their new positions.
After understanding the essence of his family's situation, Garen felt satisfied and decided to ask about the circumstances of his younger siblings.
Your younger sister has gotten involved with a scoundrel named Ansel. He doesn't listen to us no matter how much we insist! He starts breaking things and throwing tantrums over the most trivial reasons...
The last time he came to my house was a week ago. We were about to call the police because we thought he had disappeared. In the end, she suddenly ran back home, and we realized that nothing was wrong when we found her sleeping at home.
Now I'm too scared even to ask him about his personal matters. There was even an occasion when more than ten scoundrels came to our door to invite her to dinner..."
Her mother sighed deeply: It's a good thing that your younger brother is still very obedient. He works at that bakery while attending night classes. According to him, all his coworkers are nice and he likes working there. He won't leave that job even though our circumstances at home have improved a bit.
Once I offered him to attend a regular school. "What did he say about it?" asked Garen, raising his eyebrows slightly.
He felt that he wouldn't be able to catch up in a regular school or integrate properly after postponing it for so long. "It's fine to attend night school because you can take the regular exams later," replied her mother.
It's good that he made his own decisions. Garen nodded.
However, recently your father and I have discovered that something is not right with your brother. said her mother after hesitating for a moment.
What's happening?
I feel like he's always hiding something. I don't know what he's doing and his voice has become extremely low. Her entire body seems paler while her chin has become sharper. If I didn't see him every day, I would have assumed he was someone else," said his mother with an uncertain look.
He doesn't say anything even when I ask him, and it's starting to worry me.
Is it like this...? I'll go find him to chat when he's free. Maybe there's something that's bothering him, but he feels too uncomfortable to talk about it. Garen smiled faintly.
"Don't worry, it shouldn't be a serious matter."
"Yes, it's a blessing that you've grown up, Nono." "You have become wise..." said his mother while looking at him with a relieved expression on her face.
Unbeknownst to him, during this short period of time, Garen had gradually become the backbone of this family. He was also her main pillar of support.
Garen turned off the terminal and gently caressed the screen of his watch. He remained silent and simply sat there while he pondered something.
