Saint Tusa may have reluctantly agreed to wield the tier 3 Destroyer spear in combat as a last resort, but that did not mean that he and his battle partner could start to practice with it right away.
The ace pilot needed to undergo a lot of training and preparation. He could never match the preparations made by elite Terrans mech pilots, but he could at least make a start in order to increase his chances of successfully taming the weapon in the short term.
Wielding a tier 3 Destroyer weapon was an intimidating prospect even to a normally confident ace pilot like Tusa. The time he spent fighting alongside other Terran mech forces had given him a much greater appreciation for these special weapons and their dedicated wielders.
The discipline and fanaticism of the Terran wielders reminded Tusa of the Swordmaidens and the Heavensworders in the Larkinson Clan.
