The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Lesson One

Each student was assigned a spot for the first lesson, which was the perfect opportunity for the excited system to contribute.

"Is it possible to scan him now? He’s just behind that panel!" Luca hoped for the best and was thankfully given a positive answer by D-29.

While D-29 was busy scanning his classmate, Luca focused on the lecture about taking out and putting back the mecha.

"Most of you know how to pilot one but weren’t doing it under duress." Instructor Falco thumbed the necklace in his hand while looking at the students.

"Just because you know how to retrieve and store your mecha does not mean you have the muscle memory to do it as fast as possible."

"Every second you waste in an ever-changing battlefield is a chance given to your enemy. So, the most essential aspect is to make sure you can board your mecha as soon as possible. Even the best mecha would be useless to a pilot that couldn’t even get into the cockpit."

Luca felt personally attacked by that statement. He was sitting on a gold mine but didn’t even know how to take it out.

Then, the instructor demonstrated taking out his mecha and then retrieving it in the blink of an eye.

It was like an unconscious movement, and the instructor didn’t waste time mounting the mecha the moment it hit the ground. The same was true for dismounting and retrieving.

"Instructor Moore will watch over your practice in my stead." Instructor Falco then left us to try while assisting the students who were still picking their mechas.

Luca tried it in front of the provided training space, pressing the switch for the first time.

A dark blue mecha appeared out of thin air and then disappeared after pressing the button the second time around.

But if Luca was honest, retrieving items stored in his Dungeon was much faster because there was no need to press a button to access it. _{freёwebnovel.com}

It was instant and would ensure that the mecha wouldn’t be lost because of a misplaced mecha necklace.

That would probably be the worst way to die on the battlefield.

And what about thieves? Mechas were very expensive and would surely be very lucrative to people with impure thoughts.

So he tried it.

Sure enough, there was nothing faster than that. He didn’t even have to press anything.

Then he tried it with the other mecha, wanting to see what that one looked like.

Unlike the mecha issued by the school, this mecha had a color combination of gold and black.

It looked magnificent.

And expensive.

Like really expensive, so Luca shelved the mecha as fast as he put it out. He practically blinked at it, took a mental photo, and then hid it in fear of standing out too much.

What were they thinking when they chose this color?

If the enemy needed to find a particular target, would he not look like a beacon even from afar?

Luca’s resolve to avoid using that mecha was strengthened after seeing its appearance, especially compared to the mecha issued by the school.

But he noticed one important difference: it seemed like they had no weapons for the school-issued mecha.

Was that by design? Or was it a way to prevent them from blowing up the school within the first week?

The golden mecha had visible weapons, so he was sure he’d have something to protect himself in an emergency.
