Chapter 1: Orphans
In the dining room of the Nana, two girls sit opposite each other, and Ievee, wearing thick glasses, is staring at the ring on Nataya's hand.
"Dr. Alain ... For the sake of this ring, the spiritual power vortex was reversed six years ago.
The reversed mental power vortex will be much denser than the normal mental power vortex, but this is a cruel process of consumption...
Dr. Alain persevered for five years, and in the half month after her mental power was condensed to an extremely high density, her spiritual power was lost forever. ”
Eevee picked up the cup on the table and blew lightly on the rim of the cup, which was not hot.
"If she tells you that only you and I can unlock the secret of the ring, it means that you are also a counter-current.
Because I'm not, I haven't even awakened my mental power.
By the way, before Dr. Alain's mental power was reversed, her mental power level was B+."
Eevee sighed and looked into Nataya's eyes to see that Nataya was staring at herself like a learning fanatic.
"No one told you about the Spiritual Vortex? At a time when you found out that you had mental powers? ”
"No... You're the first to tell me this, before there were only AI prompts and disclaimers... ”
Nataya answered Ibu's question earnestly.
“。。。 What kind of ignorant and terrible place have you lived in for the past ten years... ”
"It's scary to think about it now...
Nataya's expression darkened.
"The reason why almost no one chooses to go against the ** divine power is because once the reverse current, there are two huge drawbacks.
First, you will forever lose the opportunity to materialize your mental power, and you will no longer be able to use active mental power to attack in this life.
Second, the highly compressed spiritual vortex will quickly consume your mental power scale, generally speaking, the higher the level of spiritual power scale, the greater the density of the spiritual vortex compressed to the end, and the longer it can last.
And when all your mental power is consumed, your life will quickly dry up with the depletion of your mental power... ”
"That is to say...
I'm going to die soon, am I... ”
Nataya looked at Ievee worriedly.
"It depends on how quickly your mental power vortex disappears, in other words it will keep eating your mental power,
When your mental power is depleted, you will start to lose your life force, which means that you can live for at least one or two decades! ”
Eevee actually wanted to comfort her, but looking at Nataya's expression, it didn't seem to have a good effect.
So, Ievee pointed to Nataya's ring.
"Although the price paid is so great, it is not without benefits.
People who reverse their mental power are almost immune to mental attacks where the density of their mental power is lower than their own.
Unless the opponent's mental power level and scale are much higher than yours, the damage will also be reduced to a very low level.
The second, and biggest benefit, is perception!
The vortex of spiritual power that is not reversed relies on its own spiritual power to invade other lives or objects to achieve its purpose.
The reversed vortex of spiritual power is to obtain the hidden laws and information in everything through direct contact... ”
"Looking at it this way, it's not a good deal...
Nataya frowned, thinking.
If you can't learn mental power skills, you will gradually lose your mental power, and in the end, you will even get into it.
It's just that in exchange for the perception of the world and semi-immunity to mental attacks...
"yes... So few people would do it ... ”
Ibrahimovic continued
"But Dr. Alain chose this because there is too much secret hidden in this ring."
"What the hell is the secret...
Nataya looked at the ring curiously, she had tried to use spiritual power to establish communication just now, but this ring was almost no different from ordinary metal, and there was no reaction at all.
"I don't know very well ... Dr. Alan just mentioned to me that it was for this ring that she chose to reverse the ** divine power. She had been guessing that the ring needed some kind of special energy to activate, and that the structure of the ring alone was enough for us to develop the Daedric mecha.
In addition, there is also the star essence that you gave to Major Allen, which has extremely strong energy and spiritual power repulsion, and if it is not a person whose spiritual power is countercurrent, it is impossible to approach it at all. ”
Hearing this, Nataya suddenly realized that she was so similar to Dr. Alan in some places...
I became an orphan for various reasons, and for some reason my mental power was reversed...
"Everyone else knows the Demon God series of mechas, but they don't know that we are reversely developing and manufacturing those machines through this ring, this secret was originally only known to me and Dr. Alain, and now only me and you know, don't tell the third person, otherwise anyone who knows this secret may be life-threatening at any time!"
Nataya looked at Eevee, who had a serious face, and then at her fingers.
"Then give you this ring ... Mechanics or something... I don't understand it at all."
As she spoke, she took off her ring.
“。。。 But my mental power level is only at the level of a normal person... What's the use of you giving me! Besides, this is what Dr. Alain gave you for safekeeping! ”
Eevee opened Nataya's hand and got up and left the chair.
"Starting tomorrow, you and I will learn mechanics and mech piloting.
Sooner or later, we'll be back at the Armored Academy, and life will be hard without Dr. Alain."
As he walked out the door, Eevee said.
"Why do I want to learn this...
Nataya looked at Eevee's back strangely.
Ibu didn't look back, but his footsteps stopped.
"Although we are the hardest working group in the Armored Academy, the people in the other schools of Central Star call us 'stray dogs' because we did not enter the academy through formal exams.
We were all taught by Professor Alain when he was a volunteer at the Kluxing Orphanage, and then brought into the orphans of the college in the name of the faculty.
She asked us to help in the academy just so that we could live on our own and live with some dignity.
Now that she's gone, we're on our own.
You are the teaching assistant she appointed on her deathbed, and the only teaching assistant she has in her life.
Since she chose you, she also gave you something more important than her own life,
You can't fail her, or I'll never forgive you. ”
With a bang, the automatic door of the restaurant closed, leaving Nataya to sit there.
Staring at the blonde girl with the ring in her hand, the woman in the white robe seemed to appear in front of her, touching her head
"I finally realized that I had worked so hard to invent these weapons, and in the end it was to make there be fewer children like us in this world...
"Stray dogs... Maybe you just don't like people like them calling us like that, so you haven't been willing to go back to the central star... ”
Nataya gently clenched the ring in her palm and looked at the woman in the white robe that appeared in the air in her mind.
She looked at Nataya, whose eyes were full of determination, and seemed to smile comfortingly.
