Journeyman Candidates

The return of Ketis to the design teams was met with considerable fanfare. Despite her Swordmaiden pedigree and unusually athletic and half-alien appearance, she had already proved her design prowess to the other assistant mech designers!

Ketis knew she was good. Developing her own 'superpower' infused her with an immeasurable amount of confidence, and the greatsword floating behind her back only emphasized her strength even further!

This was a mech designer who could fight! This was the mech designer groomed by both Ves and the Swordmaidens!

No one made the mistake of looking down on her due to her irregular background!

The most peculiar reaction came from the two boys, ahem, adolescent men. Both Maikel and Zanthar gazed at Ketis with admiration and hero worship. They seemed to think they would become just as strong and competent as Ketis once they received Ves' personal tutoring!
