Chapter 19: Fourth Day at the Academy

The morning sun illuminated the mecha academy with its warm rays, bringing new energy to all the students who were getting ready for today's training. The fourth day is a crucial day, where mental preparation and tactics will be tested further, ensuring all students are ready for the approaching For All competition.

Physical Training and Tactics

The morning started with intense physical training. Every student is pushed to their limits, ensuring that they are in peak condition for the competition. Akaya, Taro, Saki, and Hiro run around the track, jump over obstacles, and practice hand-to-hand combat.

"Focus and determination are key," Lieutenant Crount said as he watched them. "You not only have to be strong physically, but also mentally."

After the physical session, they gathered in the tactics room. A large map of the For All competition arena was displayed in front of them, showing the various zones and challenges they might face.

"Ruins, display tactics analysis for each zone," Akaya ordered.

"AI system active. Displaying tactical analysis for each zone..." Ruins displayed detailed information on the large screen, giving them a clear picture of the strategy they should use in each section of the arena.

Mental Preparation

The next session is meditation and visualization. Each student sat quietly, closed their eyes, and imagined themselves facing various situations in the competition.

"This meditation will help you stay calm under pressure," said Lieutenant Crount. "Remember, a calm mind can make better decisions."

Akaya felt calm flow through her, strengthening her resolve to give her best in the competition.

Relic Evaluation and Alignment

In the afternoon, they moved on to evaluating and aligning the Relic. Each student takes their Relic to the laboratory to be checked and adjusted, ensuring that everything is functioning optimally.

"Akaya, it's your turn," the technician said as he called her.

Akaya placed the Relic N502 on the evaluation table. Ruins immediately activates, communicating with laboratory systems to run complete diagnostics.

"Relic N502, all systems functioning normally. Power: 88%, Energy: 9.0%," Ruins reported.

The technician nodded in satisfaction. "Everything is ready. Make sure to double check before the competition."

Team Meeting

That evening, they gathered for the final team meeting before leaving for Korea. They sit in a circle, discussing the final strategy and making sure everyone is on the same page.

"We've trained hard for this. Everyone knows their role," Akaya said. "Let's not forget what we have learned and stay focused."

Saki added, "Remember, we are a team. We support each other and protect each other."

Taro and Hiro nodded in agreement, strengthening their sense of togetherness and resolve.

Travel Preparation

With preparations almost complete, they began packing their gear for the journey. Ruins helps Akaya make sure everything she needs is in her bag.

"The AI ​​system is ready for travel. All data and tactics have been uploaded," said Ruins.

Akaya smiled, feeling more prepared than before. "Thank you, Ruins. I feel stronger with you."

As the night wore on, they rested, knowing that tomorrow would bring new challenges. The For All competition is right around the corner, and they are ready to prove their abilities to the world.
