The two mechs squared off against each other. Neither Lyain Kepper nor Giles Harnacher were in a hurry to begin the fight.
Both mech pilots studied each other's swordsman mechs carefully.
It was obvious that while they belonged to the same mech type, their configurations were completely different.
The Heart of Victor was the larger and heavier of two. Though all of its mass and armor slowed it down, it also offered the mech a lot of buffer against powerful attacks, including those inflicted by a plasma sword.
While the mech designed by Team Larkinson would have been too rudimentary if that was all it had, the machine possessed at least two more advantages.
First, its chainsword weapon system granted it additional attack options. It did not have to get up close in order to deal damage, and that was a rare capability in a contest that prohibited ranged weapons.
Second, the glow of the mech exerted a dual psychological influence.
