Sword and Spear

Working on the custom mech for Commander Dise granted Ves a greater insight in how the Swordmaidens fought.

This was invaluable for many reasons. Not only did he gain a better idea on how to design a swordsman mech that suited these former pirates, he also developed a better idea on how to shape their experimental battle network.

Ketis helped enormously in this project. Ves initially thought that his skills were far too good compared to hers, but it turned out that she had already progressed enormously in the areas she cared about.

This was the biggest advantage of hyperspecialization. As long as Ketis chose to neglect her studies in other fields such as ranged weapons and so on, she could make rapid progress in her chosen specialty.

Even though she had yet to finalize a single mech design, her actual design ability was already beyond every assistant mech designer in the LMC!
