One-third of the spoils from a major battle
As Cain and Mike were selecting equipment, Kaelum explained, "Mike, the rules for the combat test are quite complex, with strict restrictions on what items you can bring. Puppets, scrolls, special items, etc., you can only carry a few and you need to declare them in advance."
"Oh? What about these mechanical devices?" Mike asked, pointing to the weapons on the shelves.
Pistols, shotguns, assault rifles, rocket launchers... they had everything.
"Mechanical devices don't need to be declared, but there are strict limits on the ammunition you can carry, and you're not allowed to use energy stones."
On the way to the summer camp, Elena had already briefed Mike. Devices made by mechanics, if lent to someone else and used without energy stones, have less than a tenth of their power!
Curious, Mike asked, "Even if we can't use energy stones, taking a Big Bertha to the combat test could still blast a classmate with each shot, right?"
