Final Round and The Result are....

Sitting on a bench, I was looking at the surroundings with the helmet on my face. The students that were moving here and there. They seemed to be uninterested in the matches anymore. Mostly, because of the same case as the entry match. The one with Mythril armor always wins, but now the battle mech enters the factor too.

I drowned myself in thoughts.

Many things will happen in this world honestly, and war is one of them. The tension between the Sonile and Tanerian is becoming worse every day. The battle mech coming to our school is one of the signs of war is coming. Costellia is the closest big city that located near the Tanerian empire. Basically, this town is the first real defense line of Sonile kingdom.

How about Vialis? Is it the closest thing to the border, right? Well, not really. Tanerian started to withdraw their troops from the town close from that border since there are Heather and Flameguard bases near that town. The Tanerian realized that our SDF never attacks them, but always make a preventive attack once they get too close and damn, they still get slaughtered. Battle mech, knight, magical weapon, witches, and beast don't stand a chance against my SDF.

Basically, if a war between the Sonile and Tanerian breaks out, the Tanerial will just circle us and attack the Sonile. How about the Sonile kingdom? They don't give a damn to a border town like Vialis, and they ignore us. Live in Vialis is improving thanks to our humanitarian support and help in the development of the city. We helped them to grow their agricultural products in trade for supply.

The next thing that I expected from a war is a new business for me, merc business. Kingdoms will rent us as a mercenary to help them, and we will have a steady supply of funding from them. Not to mention a new testing ground for our weapon, war is undoubtedly advantageous for us.

Ok, moving on to another issue. Wonder why I asked Maria did her father tell her who is her marriage partner. Well, I asked her because I know that she will be married at the age of 17. Precisely in the third year from our inclusive education of four years. The husband will be the second son of the king himself. Not that I don't agree with him, but I smell some political marriage on this thing. Her power will be increasing after the wedding, but what is the meaning of that power for her considering she is a general of an SDF that could annex an entire country in under one month.

How about Grasswall, the town where my parents and Maria's parents reside. What will happen to them if a war breaks out? Well, the city is relatively safer than Costellia since it was under protection from our base, and a squadron of fighter jets are always on stand by in case of an attack on Grasswall.

One thing, last but not least. Our decision to reveal our identity as the skulls. Admittedly, it will add a more intimidating factor for us, but also increase the risk of a sudden kidnapping. Imagine that one of us getting kidnapped that will become a colossal problem won't make it? Garth, Cecile, and I are on the risk since we don't have any ties to nobility, so we can only rely on our SDF, which will trigger some heat in the defense sector of Sonile kingdom.

'Hhh.... too much trouble incoming trouble in such a short time.'

Suddenly, someone knocked on my helmet. It's not ordinary hands preferably steel combat gloves. My helmet analyzed the person who was hurting me. It was Cecile who was hitting on my helmet, she might not remember that she wore exoskeleton gloves.

"Mind that you are wearing an exoskeleton suit," I said as I grabbed the Gatling laser from the side of the chair.

"Haha, copy Whiskey," she said to me as she knocked again at my helmet.

With a Gatling laser in my hand, we walked back to the arena where our ultimate enemy was waiting; Kira in her battle mech.

Not that I want to lose to her, but I'm thinking about the consequence of winning. I don't believe that winning will cause any damage to us, but the case is different for Sir Alex and the town of Grasswall. Maybe there will be a political blockade or something.

The door of the arena opened slowly, and in front of us, we saw that enormous giant in front of us. The battle mech was equipped with a shield and sword with staff on its back.

'Holy mother of god.'

"Wilson, are you sure we can do this?" Maria said as she gazed at that enormous war machine.

"Up to you, really?" The A.I on the suit analyzed the battle mech and calculating the chance of successful combat.

The A.I gave a circle around the mech weak point. Most of them are the joints of the mech. One of them is the cockpit of the mech itself.

"Razor, predict the lethality of each weak point," I said to the mech.

"Including the servos, sir?" The A.I asked me back.

"Sure," I replied.

The A.I displayed the information on my HUD. In short, the data was like this.

Shoulder joints: 29% Lethal, 1500mm RHA.

Legs joints: 14% Lethal, 1300mm RHA.

Cockpit: 97% Lethal, 2000mm RHA.

No wonder that the sidewinder didn't have any effect on them. That's a 2 meters thick armor. We need a maverick or a missile with a fusion warhead for it.

"Damn, what kind of armor is that?" I said as I displayed the information to the others.

"Is that the kind of armor that the kingdom used for their battle mech?" Garth commented.

"Well, no doubt that an A-A missile like the sidewinder can't penetrate it, he'll even tank cannon will have a hard time penetrating it," I looked at the three-floor tall battle mech.

A girl appeared from the cockpit of the mech. The cockpit located on the chest section of the battle mech, no wonder why the mech chest was so thick.

"Are you ready to lose?" Kita said with an evil smile.

She underestimates us badly. Does she even know that we have a weapon that rated to be a portable massive bunker buster?

"A pretty big talk for someone that is going to lose," Maria said, using my loudspeaker.

Eliza came to the podium, she stood up and shouted, "Now, this is the grand final, the last match, clap your hands, everyone."

The whole crowd clapped their hands, but most of the support went for Kira. The others must know the disadvantage if we get elected.

"Well, guys, it looks like we aren't supported, are we?" I looked at the others.

"Let's just take her down," Cecile loaded her laser rifle with malicious intent.

"Mike Copy," I replied.

Eliza took another deep breath, "Now, let the match begin," she shouted, followed by other shouts from the other students.

The mech started to move and produce a small earthquake around it. It swung its sword across the ground, and we dodged it smoothly.

"Razor, Initiate combat procedure," I shouted to the A.I.

"Combat mode initiated, initiating combat protocols," the A.I replied as I jumped to a nearby wall and shot the Gatling laser at her mech.

Of course, the Gatling laser can chew through the armor, but it's not enough since the joints are still working. Although some of the mech parts started to drop on the ground.

I continued to run on the wall and humped here and there while firing the Gatling laser in her direction. Meanwhile, Maria flew thanks to the jetpack on her back and aimed the Railgun with pinpoint accuracy.

"Charlie, could you pinpoint the target for me?" She said as the Railgun continued to charge.

"There!" Cecile said as she pointed her index finger to one of the points of the battle mech.

"Firing," the Railgun projectile flew right to the right arm servo.

The right arm dropped, thus dropping the sword that it's held. The mech switched weapons to the staff on its back.

"RPG RPG!!" I shouted as a big fireball flew to Maria's direction.

Maria bank to the left and fired it's railgun at the staff, thus shattering it into several pieces.

"Well, it looks like the only that does the work is our mentor doesn't it?" Garth commented to Maria, who was flying with high agility here and there.

Cecile fired her laser rifle to the cockpit, and it exposes the pilot who took advantage of Kira.

With an internal megaphone, I shouted, "KIRA, YOUR ADVANTAGE HAS BEEN TAKEN. SURRENDER NOW OR YOU WILL BE FIRED UPON," I said as the other landed on the ground and aimed their weapon in her direction.

"Wilson, in your dream," she said as he moved his mech and bashed the shield on the ground.

"Maria, take her down," I said as I pointed my hands to her direction.

"Wilco."

She placed the Railgun on her back and grabbed the cable ties on her belt, and ran towards the cockpit of the mech. She dodges every shield bashing that Kira made, and with a final jump, she threw Kira out of the cockpit of the mech. She tied her with zip ties and carried her on her back while the mech is falling down to the ground, thus making a cloud of dust.

"Whiskey, I got her," I heard from my integrated headset on my helmet.

"Nice, Mike," I replied, Maria.

She brought Kira on her back then suddenly the teachers interrupted us. The four figures were standing at the entrance of the arena.

"Eliza, you have a lot of explaining to do," Mr.Icebane shouted at her.

Mrs. Husain approached us with a glare on her eyes. She grabbed Kira from Maria's back.

"What do you think you're doing, are you trying to kill the princess?" She scolded us.

"What???" I said as I opened my helmet.

What does she think? If I weren't in the armor of mine, I would be dead for sure.

"Do you realize that she tried to kill us?" Cecile complained while opening her helmet too.

"Do you also realize that you will cut the funding to us?" Mrs. Husain retaliated.

Eliza came down from her podium. She walked to us, who were arguing against each other.

"Mrs. Cail, what are you trying to do?" Mrs.Husain asked her while Mr.Icebane hold my back, so I don't attack her.

"I warn you, do that again, and you will be sorry," I threatened Kira, who was being carried on Mrs.Husain's back.

Eliza apologized to the teachers, and she returned to her podium.

"Sorry for the interruption," she said.

I laid my back to the fallen battle mech and saw the others glared their eyes at me. Their face is like the time when I got an explosive fragment on my right forearms on the previous life; A demon.

"So, the new vice president is Maria Juliana Alexson," Eliza shouted while clapping her hands.

The whole crowd shouted and applauded to us. The students seem to be a very enthusiast.

"You know? Life is going to be easier from now on," I said as I waved my hand to the other students.
