Ch 355: Airfield beyond the gate.

"How long till they get back?" Nia asks sitting in the wing of her Super Corsair.

"I don't know they probably won't be back till after the festival." Kora says working on the engine under the engine cowling.

"Well, atleast we got to see the entertainment." Nia says with a giggle.

"Watching Headmaster Kyra trash those politicians made my day." Kora says with a laugh.

"Right, I heard that your idol went to South Korea." Nia says as she shifts to hanging upside down on the wings.

"Don't do that." Kora says flinging a wrench at Nia.

"Sorry." Nia says pulling her self back onto the wing as she starts replacing the ammunition with air burst dust cartridges.

"Say Nia?" Kora asks

"Hmm?" Nia hums looking up.

"Have you seen my 10mm socket?" Kora asks

"You lost another one?" Nia asks

"Yes..." Kora says shamefully

"That's the 5th one you lost this week." Nia says hopping off the wing to go to the spare tools shed.

"Maybe if we didn't need to prepare the planes for an air show which I know all of the pilots will go all out in we wouldn't have a problem." Kora shouts.

===============================

A few weeks.

"Just because we aren't home doesn't mean we can't have an air show right?" Nia says with a smile while eating lunch with her fellow pilots.

"Why not, give some people here moral and let us have a fun time." Another pilot says

============================

"Kyra is a great mechanic, but the flaws the engine has is so frustrating." Kora says

"You think she doesn't know that?" Nia replies.

"Huh?" Kora says

"I was Harriet childhood friend, I was there when she was making these planes." Nia responds

"Do you realize how jealous I am." Kora says surprised.

"I specifically remember her complaining about her prototype super Corsair. How the dust caused to much heat and the block would melt. The entire oil system needed to be redesigned. Even still that didn't solve everything." Nia says sitting back against the main fuselage.

"That's all?" Kora asks

"Well, compared to the 18 cylinder engine the 28 in could produce 1000 more horsepower off of its original power source. However I remember her complaining about it not being enough." Nia says

"She eventually figured out a system that would inject water dust but ruled it out as it was to heavy." Nia says flipping a wrench in the air and catching it repeatedly.

"What else did she try?" Kora asks

"Don't you have the engine in front of you?" Nia asks

"The block is completely different. Materials and everything." Kora says

"Design is the same but she went and got something more heat resistant than steel." Nia says

"Even still its prone to over heating." Kora says knowing how everyone of her planes preform.

"That it does, but she actually had to make a new alloy with the metal because the new engine at the time was too light and tore itself apart in a fiery explosion. After clocking roughly 37,000 Hp before doing so." Nia says

"What..." Kora says dumbfounded her jaw hanging open.

"I know right?" Nia says

"Headmistress Ruby yelled at her for an entire 2 hours about unsafe testing." Nia says laughing at the memory.

"The best thing was, Kyra won the argument." Nia says

"Wait what?" Kora says

"Kyra took every precaution she even did the test in... yeah. No one was that explosion." Nia says

"And the final product?" Kora asks

"Well, it's a mixture of steel pistons and steel mystery metal alloy. I think she called it Lunite or something." Nia says
