Luca didn't like any of it.
It felt as though his brother was being cornered into a situation where every available path carried consequences.
The golden-eyed cadet didn't particularly care what people thought of their guild as an organization, or even of himself for that matter.
But his brother had been innocent in all of this. Getting implicated only because Luca dared to build all those other mechas.
More importantly, the whole thing felt unfair on a professional level.
Granted, the young Guide who had once slaved away without recognition used to believe that absolute secrecy was the safest option.
But after witnessing just how much effort everyone had poured into their craft, he could understand why being acknowledged for something genuinely earned mattered.
Why it motivated people to push themselves further.
So in a situation like this, couldn't a mechanic be allowed to proudly demonstrate their abilities during a once-in-a-lifetime event?
Naturally, there were limits.
