The Mech Lord

"Go!!"

The battle began and Vanessa was the first one to rush ahead. She really seemed to be the energetic one as always.

[You know how to play, right?] Amelia looked at Leo with a doubtful look on her face.

Aiden never played games to begin with, and only used the Mech simulation in the Academy. The difference between the Mech simulation and MechField was that one was designed for actual Mech training and the other was just for fun.

Mech Simulator allowed one to feel the real pressure one which a pilot had to face in the cockpit. It was said that it could replicate up to 65% of the environmental condition in a Mech.

In the end, the game wasn't the same as the Simulator was. Not to mention, Aiden had even lost his memory. So, Amelia really doubted if he even knew how to play the game.

[Don't worry, I will teach this noob.] Semantha said in the group chat.

Amelia looked at the Semantha, who was currently in a custom made Mech. This instantly allowed her to have a favorable impression of her skills. After all, there were only two types of people with custom Mechs, the pro gamers and the filthy rich.

[It's fine, you can go ahead on attack as well. I can teach my brother while defending the base.] Amelia refused her, it seemed she was feeling guilty over what had happened. And, hence wanted to stick to Leo and help him out.

[Fine, I will go and capture the enemy's base.] Semantha shrugged, she was a bit surprised though. After all, Leo hadn't told her that she was her sister.

They had chosen a Death Match as a format. In this format, you either had to capture the enemy's base or destroy all the Mech's on the enemy's side.

[Does she have a brother complex?] Semantha said to Leo in a private channel as her Mech moved and she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Leo was really speechless looking at her message. If this was her brother's complex, he was terrified to see her hate him.

"Bang!"

Gunshots suddenly began to sound in the distance. It seemed that Vanessa had engaged herself in some action.

Amelia looked at Leo and hurriedly explained to him the basic controls which he already was aware of.

[Are you even listening to me?]

[Hello!]

[Yes! I am!] Leo almost freaked out for a second. Since, she was explaining to her things that he already knew, he had gone AFK for a while to check if Kyle was online.

[Are you dozing off in there? Why wer-] Before Amelia could complete her sentence, Leo suddenly pulled her Mech by it's arm and pulled out one of the short swords from the sheath on its back.

Amelia was still in surprise when Leo's Tutorial Mech suddenly swung it's arm and threw the short sword flying through the air without even turning to look behind him.

"Whoosh!"

The short word sank into the Vegetation and the next instant, a clang entered their ears which was soon followed by the notification of a kill on their chat.

[Careful, there is another one coming!] Leo warned her. He then dashed towards the place where he had thrown the sword earlier. He only had a baton with him, and it couldn't possibly even survive a single slash from a sword. So, he had to get that weapon back.

[Damn! You Smurf! How dare you troll us like this!] An angry voice accompanied with heavy clunking noise rang as a huge Mech shot out of the forest gunning straight for Leo's tutorial Mech.

It was carrying a giant hammer as a weapon and Leo instantly recognized the Mech. It was the War Hammer 7000, a Mech, which once held the title of the heavy hitter. Even though later generation Mech had beaten it, Leo knew that the Tutorial Mech would turn into junk in a single hit from it.

The War Hammer swung the hammer, raising it above its head before bringing it down on Leo's Tutorial Mech.

"Bang!" The ground shook as the rocky terrain exploded, sending dust flying all around.

But, as the dust settled. His opponent found nothing, but a broken arm lying in the crater below.

The guy instantly realized his mistake, but it was all too late.

"Clang!" The person suddenly felt his arm right arm become heavy. It was the arm which he was holding the hammer in. He looked towards what was wrong with it and his face twitched.

He had no idea how Leo had managed to sneak up from behind and latch onto his arm with both his leg and remaining arm.

He tried to swing it around, but soon found it being pinned to the ground.

The ground shook as the War Hammer furiously struggled and dragged Leo's mech around. But, there was no way for it to lift Leo's mech up without letting go off the hammer.

[Amelia!] Leo screamed to her for help. This immediately broke her out of the daze.

[Help!]

Hearing Leo's voice in the chat, she immediately sprang into action. She pulled out the remaining short sword from her back and then her Mech moved. She was extremely fast, Leo couldn't even catch sight of her properly.

The next thing that he knew was a bade piercing through the opponent's cockpit and a notification of a kill popping up in the chat.

[What were you doing?] He asked, looking at her. He thought they were here to play the game and not just stand and enjoy.

[I..I..] Amelia didn't know what to say, she had been shocked by Leo's performance honestly. She was expecting him to play like a noob. But, he clearly didn't do it.

Honestly, even she didn't have the confidence to react like that.

She couldn't understand just how he did that. She had tried the Mech Simulator in the Academy too, and it was way different from the game. There was no way that a person shifting from the Mech Simulator could do something like this on a game, that too on the very first attempt.

After all, even if we change the things about environmental pressure, the two had an entirely different mechanism of control. It could definitely help you familiarize with real mech, but not become a master of it.

[Winner!]

A notification suddenly popped up on their feeds and the next instant, they were transferred into the lobby.

[Oh my god! You were so fast! Are you Pro?!] Vanessa's excited voice entered Leo's ears. It seemed she had witnessed Semantha in action.

[No way! You were even faster than me! Do you have any thoughts on joining a competition together?]

And the opposite was true as well.

Hell, Semantha was even inviting her to play along. It seemed Vanessa definitely had some skills to speak off in the game if she could have impressed Semantha.

[Huh?] Vanessa's eyes suddenly widened when she saw that the MVP frame wasn't shining either on her profile or Semantha's. It was instead shining on Leo's profile, she just couldn't believe her eyes seeing the Tutorial Mech basking in that glory.

[How is this possible?]

Obviously it was possible.

Leo had a kill and assist. More contribution than anyone else. And, since it was a deathmatch, the rest didn't have any more chance to shine. Hence, he was the overall winner here.

[Let's play another game! This time its a battle royal! And, I won't let anyone snatch the MVP from me!] Semantha couldn't tolerant Leo beating her. The same was true for Vanessa.

In the end, he could only sigh, as the second round began.

It seemed gaming was everything that he would be doing today.
