Most of the mecha operators from Courage God Ace Mecha Clan were just normal ace mecha masters. Their team leaders were elite ace and their regiment commander, who was the strongest among them, was just shy of becoming a peak-level ace mecha master. Most of the units stationed in the city had a similar power structure to the Courage God Ace Mecha Clan.
The concept of survival of the fittest was ingrained deeply into all the soldiers' minds. Hence, when they saw a mecha clan similar to them in terms of ability, they wanted to challenge them. Many mecha operators already had the thought of testing the mecha operators from Courage God after the ceremony. They must have a fight with them.
