Identity Nearly Exposed

Ironback arched its body in pain, but Yuka didn't let it curl back up, only showing its invincible shell. She lifted her long sword, cutting a huge wound in Ironback's belly.

The people nearby, though shocked by the mecha's immense strength, quickly rushed to help Yuka control the writhing Ironback in pain.

Shawn turned and shouted to Yuka, "Thank you for the help!"

Yuka, lips tightly pressed, didn't respond. She didn't want to make a sound, because she was trying to avoid being recognized by Shawn and others, as she couldn't yet break her fragile disguise.

Not hearing a response, Shawn didn't mind much, thinking she was too focused on controlling Ironback. He secretly noted her exam number, planning to meet this strong person after the exam and make a friend.

In the commentary room, Yonda almost blurted out "What the f*ck," quickly shutting off his mic. 

He turned to Kenji in shock, "Did you see that, sir? Yuka lifted Ironback with one hand!"
