Fortunately, the core had given him a training method that seemed to be rather unique.

After the warehouse incident, Garen had downloaded the confidential document that was transferred via the core to him from the Mech’s computer. He then proceeded to wipe off all traces of it once he had done so. Once he had reached home and recovered the data, he made sure that he did not leave behind any loopholes multiple times before he deleted all the records. He even destroyed the hard disc and used a new one in order to prevent any leaks.

“After this incident, I should start analyzing the training methods that I obtained,” according to Garen’s estimation, this training method was no ordinary training method as it was at least a Level Five. However, he had no intention of retraining himself. If he were to abandon his Crouched Eagle Talon, it would be extremely difficult as his Willpower had already taken to its shape. Similar to a stone sculpture, it would be difficult to change it to another shape once its external shape was formed. He would have to exhaust more material and time if he were to start over.

As Inari kept driving along the road, Garen was thinking of a way to further perfect his Crouched Eagle Talon.

He didn’t plan to abandon this training method at all. In fact, he planned to improve it.

This was because the new training method was completely irrelevant to the Crouched Eagle Talon in terms of the involvement of body parts. The three main body parts involved with the Crouched Eagle Talon were the hands and chest.

On the other hand, the new training method involved his head, legs, and the back, which was the most important part. There were a total of four body parts and they did not overlap with the Crouch Eagle Talon. This seemed to have been considered by the Core.

Two training methods could be overlap and not interfere with each other. This was equivalent to wearing two sets of equipment and utilizing one of them whenever needed.

Unfortunately, the Crouched Eagle Talon could only go up to Level Five. Naturally, he could go the Eagle’s Nest and spend his Quest Points or Contribution Points to obtain the information for all five levels. However, the price wasn’t cheap as it was at least equivalent to hundreds of thousands of Universal Units.

Even so, the Crouched Eagle Talon was still a high-cost performance training method to the public since there were very few training methods that could reach Level Five.

Garen had realized that the strength of his Crouched Eagle Talon was just a mere Level Three. This was probably because he would need a military identity to reach Level Four. Before taking on the mission, he would have had no opportunities to be qualified to possess such an identity. However, after contributing to them with his strength, it was slightly easier for him to obtain a military identity and it should not be a problem for him to obtain all five levels of the training method.

Beep beep… Beep beep…

As Garen was lost in his thoughts, his watch started beeping.

He raised his wrist to eye level to find out that it was a new message.

‘The Merit Awarding Ceremony will be held at the second military division. The time will be tomorrow at 16:00. Please arrive beforehand.’

“Where is the Second Military Division located?”

Garen casually asked.

Inari who had been messed with by Garen didn’t dare to mess with him anymore and decided to be very honest with him.

“It’s just beside the Empire State Building in the Magical Rose District. Why do you ask? Are the upper levels going to award the merits?”

“Yep. You’re good guessing these kinds of stuff, no?”

Garen glanced at her as he knew that this girl possessed a great amount of intel.

Inari didn’t dare to speak further as she displayed the location of the place clearly on the vehicle’s map. They didn’t speak further after Garen copied it into his Watch Terminal.

They encountered a few red lights along their journey back to the Blackboard Academy.

The sky gradually turned dark while the number of cars increased as the peak hours were approaching. Red cars and buses started appearing more and more and their speed gradually slowed down.

A few motorcyclists in helmets and sports enthusiasts who had passed by Garen’s car would whistle and laugh loudly when they saw Inari in the driver’s seat.

“These kids!” Inari scoffed.

“You grew up around these people,” Garen casually laughed.

Inari didn’t refute as she seemed to be traumatized by Garen’s ambush.

The traffic jam became worse as everyone had just got off from work. Occasionally, honks could be heard from the front and back.

The traffic jam was terrible and the vehicles could only move at a snail’s pace. The VIP lane which was three meters above the ground was empty as usual. Since the cars at the bottom did not have the authority and the capability to rise up to that level, they could only move slowly at the bottom lane.

By the time they arrived Blackboard Academy, the sky had already turned dark.

Garen immediately went to report to the academy, called up his instructor and a few good friends, and took his dinner before going back to his dorm.

As he reached his dorm, he immediately looked around in an attempt to uncover any hidden cameras or bugs in every suspicious spot. Garen even used specialized scanning devices to ensure there was no spying in the area before tidying up the training method that he had obtained.

It was a nameless training method and the information that might have names involved were edited. It was obviously the doing of the Forbidden Core.

However, these were not important. What was the most important was that this training method showed signs of being capped at Level Six.

Although there were only five levels given by the Forbidden Core, it was obvious that there were signs of Level Six at the end of the information. It was something Garen could easily spot from the training method’s information.

“Planning to use this to negotiate with me, eh?” he managed to guess the Forbidden Core’s intention to use such a high-level training method as its offer. In addition to that, he’d even planned to rope him into this troublesome situation with his brother Baylon.

“However, this is fine by me as well.”

Garen was willing to take a step back as the training method that was given by the other party was incredibly powerful. According to Garen’s estimation, it was most likely the legendary Inherited Level.

Only training methods that could reach Level Six were considered an Inherited Level. There was one major distinction between an Inherited Pilot and a normal Pilot, which was that the latter was much stronger than the former. The drastic difference was comparable to that of an elite from the sacred martial art academy and a typical martial artist who lived by the streets. Their strengths were simply not in the same realm.

However, the most important take here was that the weakest Inherited Pilot was a Level Six.

He had temporarily named this training method as the Forbidden Training Method, which came from the very idea that it was a training method that was forbidden.

The main parts involved were the back, legs, and head. With each level up, it would increase the Mech’s Reflex, Endurance, and Recovery by a level each.

Reflex was a skill that temporarily increased the Pilot’s sudden movements by increasing the response of the Pilot’s nerves. This would increase the reaction time of the Pilot and Mech as a whole.

On the other hand, Endurance was similar to what the Red-White Mech had showcased, where it would increase its lifespan by reducing its energy lost via energy channeling. It would increase the lifespan of the reserved energy and hence Endurance. This meant that it could ensure the Mech retained mobility for as long as possible.

As for Recovery, it was the core of the training method. Before this, Garen had never heard of a training method that could heal on its own.

This unique ability was exclusive only to the Inherited Mech. The Inherited Mech could be best described as a Mech that had gained life. As long as it had energy, it would have the ability to slowly regenerate itself.

This training method surprisingly had the Recovery ability from the very beginning, which was to say that it was the most powerful aspect of the training method.

Garen could also feel that the reason why the Forbidden Core had given him this training method was that it would not clash with his Crouched Eagle Talon.

As he thought until here, Garen walked into the bathroom, took off his clothes and stood underneath the shower head, naked. He then turned on the cold water and allowed it to drip from his head to his toes.

As he looked over his current status, he felt relieved.

“The Potential Points have accumulated to this amount?”

With the Staff of Absolute Yin in his possession, it had given him an unlimited source of potential points. As long as he rubbed this staff for an hour each day, it would give Garen two Potential Points. It would then wilt but even so, it had given Garen enough cushion to face any problem.

The Instantaneous Paper Box that he had obtained together with the staff was a one-time-use item that could repel the Energy Field. Garen had been keeping it and had yet to use it, unlike the Staff of Absolute Yin which he had been utilizing on a daily basis.

The gem in the Staff of Absolute Yin was a treasure that could automatically generate potential points as it would store a small number of energy points inside of itself. Similarly, it would release them slowly. Hence Garen had to absorb the stored Potential Points inside frequently in order to not waste his time.

However, the effect of it being slow was that he could only absorb a maximum of two points per day. The rate would be greatly reduced afterward.

Even so, Garen was extremely satisfied with it.

Several days’ worth of accumulated potential points had been used to increase his Willpower by a level to reach Level Four when he’d fought against the Red-White Mech. After spending two potential points, he had sixteen points remaining.

“Sixteen points… I can use all of them at once to increase this training method. The reason why the Crouched Eagle Talon has no Level Six is simply that the limit of this training method is Level Five. Hence, a lot of people would try to earn more money and buy a better training method once they have reached level five and relearn it again with the Crouched Eagle Talon as their base. It is a viable way to earn money and learn a new training method at the same time,” Garen pondered as he started channeling his Willpower slowly into both of his legs according to the forbidden record. This was the first level of this new training method.

It was a good opportunity for him to obtain an Inherited Training Method. If he were to try to obtain an Inherited Training Method through the traditional way in the academy, he would have no choice but to enter a household, pledge a Mech’s oath and carve an absolute command order algorithm onto his own Inherited Mech. Furthermore, he would have to abide by a strict restraint on which training methods he could learn and he would not be allowed to leak any of this out to the public.

It would be equivalent to becoming the sect’s underling or fighter. Their contract would at least require from them decades of services or else, one would never be able to obtain Inherited Level resources. As these items were strictly controlled, they lived in a different realm from typical Pilots.

Garen didn’t want to become a slave to any household. However, he would be capped at Level Five without these Inherited Training Methods and have no hopes of improving further, just like Red Eye Medero.

Medero was not able to obtain the relevant resources and training method because she didn’t join any Inherited powerhouses. Furthermore, her academy teacher, who was one of the Three Heads, didn’t let them obtain any Inherited Level Training Method for some reason. Till this date, excluding the Three Heads, only Black Rain had obtained an Inherited Training Method. The rest didn’t have the opportunity and even among the bunch of instructors, ninety percent of them were capped at Level Five. They had been training themselves at this level for so long and yet there were no improvements.

There was only one special instructor who had managed to breakthrough into the Inherited Level on his own. He then inherited this to the Academy but was not able to improve further than Level Six.
