The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196: Bypassed

Now, obviously, there were barely any secrets between good brothers when it came to mechas.

And when Ollie proudly mentioned the upgrades he had installed, one pseudo mechanic decided that Xavier also needed them.

Not to mention the fact that Sid might feel left out once all of the mechas had such upgrades on them!

But Sid had been too groggy to notice what was happening. He would’ve screamed that he was totally fine and wouldn’t have felt left out had he been lucid.

But he wasn’t.

The guardian mecha had such an unforgettable night that it nearly discharged itself in what it could only think of as stress.

See, it sounded bad like that, but Sid’s issue actually came from the onset of internal energy.

The mecha couldn’t figure out how to deal with the circulating energy as it normally expended whatever it got from the Master to maintain its functions.

But when the New Master added an Energy Crystal and even one backup inside a different node, Sid could’ve sworn that he looked like a salted worm but with deadly weapons.

It took everything in its power to control the energy surge that threatened to explode as artillery showers—that bad.

Thankfully, they figured out a way to stop it after he was asked to use only his thrusters to fly around to exhaust the excess energy faster.

But it was easier said than done when Sid felt like a baby bird who had to learn how to control its own body and what to do with it now that there was no pilot.

And D-29 was noting all of this down as it prepared for its own birth or maybe a second integration.

Now, that did not escape the guardian mecha, who only just realized that he was actually the test subject for all this!

The guardian mecha really wanted to protest!

But only stopped when he finally managed to move around, finally able to run away in case something questionable was happening again!

Maybe it wasn’t so bad?

Even if he was the test subject, at least he had the opportunity to be like this, something that none of his immediate brethren even got to experience.

But maybe it was too early to hope.

Because by the time Sid managed to sort out the major changes in its frame, it had already been installed with Ollie’s ’upgrades.’

And Sid was going to be the first guardian mecha with an extendable footrest, a snack tray, a recliner, and a heated blanket option.

Which was clearly not made an ’option’ in his case.

But at least he didn’t have a third leg.

Right?

At first, he was going to try to rope that blasted mastermind into this, but there was apparently no need to as the little system volunteered for it.

Well, that was a given because it heard all the findings, and as a system meant to serve its Host, these upgrades were a must.

And D-29 even looked for the best cockpit chairs for the best driving experience.

Because useful systems don’t get sacked, and employed systems don’t explode.

So, the aspiring mecha was more than happy and even considered weighted blankets as it would not allow the other mechas to top it in terms of quality-of-life upgrades.

Which were apparently a hit.

Yes, really.

And Luca was only so sad about the fact that his manual mecha couldn’t have the same things that were routinely checked in class and must be standardized.

But these wishful thinking and praises were for the upcoming corruption run.

For now, they were all gathered to be reintroduced to Sid, the Guardian Mecha, who was now able to move on his own.

Only for Luca to belatedly realize that he forgot to ask Xavier for permission for the Synapse Reactor!

"!!!"

And the little chipmunk panicked, alarming the others who noticed how their leader suddenly shook.

"What’s wrong?" Asked the Prince, who hadn’t expected Luca to react like this.

"Xavier! I—I’m so sorry! I got so caught up in wanting to do something for Sid that I forgot to ask for permission!"

An absolute disaster.
