The Mech Lord

"Father?" Leo looked at Aaron as his expression suddenly changed, "You don\'t mean…"

Aaron nodded while barely being able to hold his laughter back.

Leo froze to his spot. He really didn\'t know how to react. This had gone way beyond his acceptable scope. He was happy that he would be meeting one of idols but what about his idol being his father?

You gotta be kidding him!!

These two were entirely different thing!

Being the son of such a person definitely smelled a trouble to Leo, no wonder Aiden had people after his life.

\'Why did this guy had to the son of such a big shot? Will I have a peaceful life…\' He really felt drained just thinking about it. Leo didn\'t know how he would be able to survive in his new life.

Aaron who was trouble all along suddenly began to find Leo\'s reaction to be interesting as he told him about their family. It was really a different experience seeing him react like that and acting in a way he would have never thought him to.

…

Two days passed….

Leo and Aaron were still on the spaceship and far from reaching their destination.

There was another thing which Leo had suddenly noticed. He didn\'t know when it happened, but now he had several guards around him.

He didn\'t even know when these people had boarded the ship but by the time he realized it, they were already around him everywhere quietly following him around.

Even when he tried to Scan them with Arthur\'s help, nothing came to his hand except their physical traits.

Right now, he had been very bored, staying in his cabin the whole day. Aaron wasn\'t there was as well and gone to hit the gym on the ship while Leo refused his invitation as he wasn\'t a training or muscle freak.

This behavior had yet again dumbfounded Aaron. Because to him Leo forgetting his memory was still acceptable to some extent but him forgetting to train and not only that but even going as far as to refuse it.

Aaron truly didn\'t know just how many people\'s jaw would hit floor if the matter came out in public.

Leo had no idea or at least he seemed to have forgotten that Aiden was an extremely hardworking freak of nature.

"Is this guy really a training freak?" Leo muttered before taking out his Awakener card. He had asked Aaron a lot of things and it included a few things about being Awakener and this card as well. "Let\'s see my stats.."

[Name: Unregistered Card]

[Lv 1: Awake]

[Yellow Rank Skill: Charge]

[Race: Glorian]

[Stats]

Strength: 6

Agility: 9

Stamina: 7

Most people when awakened had their states measured around 0 to 10 points in all there stats at the beginning and looking at the points distribution, Leo could tell that Aiden was better than the most people for sure, it was only that his skill rank was lower, otherwise he would really be able to achieve greatness.

But to Leo, even having a low rank skill was a bliss. Because to the previous him, having a skill would meant becoming an awakener.

Leo didn\'t care if he was a strong awakener or not. As long as he had that title, it was enough for him honestly.

After all, in the past if Leo had that title, then he would have gotten accepted into an Academy and wouldn\'t have gotten in this body change mess at all.

But obviously this was not the present now...

In the end, he shook his head, thinking about what never happened wasn\'t going to help him anyway. And instead it was better to concentrate on the present.

\'According to Aaron, there are two ways to increase my Level. The first one is to train the usage of my skill and increased its affinity with Arora Energy and as long as my skill develops and levels up, my stats would do the same with the increase in quality of my Arora energy. The second way, is a slower one and it doesn\'t give you a guarantee to level up. It is to train your body and increase your stats to strengthen the body and in in turn it would improve your body\'s connection with Arora Energy.\'

People obviously work both way as that would lead to a faster growth and it was specially advantageous for those people who had combat type skills.

But the second method was very limited. It basically just help in a faster level up and you couldn\'t give up on training your skill as that was the foundation of your breakthrough.

\'\'Do I have to train as well?\'\' Leo muttered before letting out a sigh.

Until now he had thought that only people with combat type skill and with the aim to become Soldiers or Mech Pilots trained physically.

And even if he did awaken a combat skill which was most unlikely to happen, he didn\'t have plans of joining army. So, there was never a need for Leo to focus on physical training that intensely. But now, didn\'t he need to reach Lv 11?

Just thinking about it was enough to give Leo a headache.

\'Hey Arthur, didn\'t your creator designed something to help me strengthen my body? Like in a few minutes or something?\'

[Searching….]

[Page-143]

[Bionic Battle Arm]

The pages of the inheritance book suddenly opened up in Leo\'s mind and those words appeared with a blueprint below.

[This Bionic Battle Arm could be used to replace your severed arm. It can pair up with your charge skill and act without any need of batteries. It will even allow you to be in a constant state of skill usage and would improve your skill control.]

Leo eyes gleamed with a strange light. He was interested in this thing.

After all, Bionic Arms could be stronger then average human arms but when it came to physique of an Awakener, it weren\'t of any use.

These thing weren\'t your actual body part and couldn\'t release your skill even if you were an Awakener. Not to mention, it couldn\'t grow stronger with the rest of your body as well.

But this thing here apparently was a battle arm and could even allow Leo to use his skill.

And it really piqued Leo\'s curiosity as person because he had never heard of a product like this in the market.

After all, aside from human\'s own body only a Mecha\'s body was able to release a skill due to the Arora reactors in them.

And an Arora reactor small enough to fir in a bionic arm was unheard of. This was still not the end, as there was still a need for protective screen which would keep the user safe from the radiation of the core and keep the heat locked in.

This had been deemed impossible with current technology.

But now this thing here, was somehow claiming to do the same...

How could it not interest Leo?

But unfortunately the jargons in these things blue prints were really killing him.. He would have to start from the first page properly, only then could he possibly understand everything.
