He was.
But unbeknownst to him, to everyone else… no one else was as cool as their Young Lord Luca.
It had been two weeks since the biomecha pilot selection exam, yet somehow, it was still the talk of the town.
And honestly? Understandable.
A lot happened that day.
Excluding the part where the Duke had to grovel to the Duchess for prioritizing victory over their lives (cough), there were plenty of things worth celebrating.
For one, Luca had officially announced the chosen pilots.
Seven were S-ranked, led by none other than Major Taryn.
Three more were A-ranked, all slated for promotion to Second Lieutenant.
Among them was Anya, who practically became the unofficial spokesperson for the Suppression Module.
She swore by it.
Called it life-changing in the most dramatic sense of the word. And while it was possibly traumatic, she felt that the simulation was absolutely essential.
Although she did similarly recommend writing a will for family and friends, just in case.
