The Mech Lord

"Where is she?" Leo sighed, looking at Amelia.

"Vanessa said she will be here in 20 minutes," Amelia replied while forcing a smile on her face.

And, yeah. These people didn't call her Aunty. It was the same reason because of which Vanessa had started to call Viona sister.

Since Vanessa was just a few years older than them, these guys had called her sister from early on. This was really messed up in relation. They were calling a person sister, who called their mother sister.

"20 minutes? Really?" Leo looked at her, and Amelia could only give him a helpless look. It wasn't like she could control Vanessa's actions.

Leo didn't know what to say. Vanessa had been repeating the same thing for the past hour. There was no way it was taking that much time for her to get here.

"5 more minutes, and we are leaving if she doesn't arrive." There had to be a limit, an hour was really too long.

Time trickled, and on the four minute mark, a car descended from above on one of the landing circles nearby.

"Where were you?" Amelia asked with a groan.

"I am really sorry." Vanessa held her ears with an apologetic smile before taking out two storage capsules.

"What are these for?" Amelia asked in confusion.

Even Leo was a bit confused, the thing had a seal on it. Meaning, it had something inside. 'Did she steal it from someone?'

"Well, you were too young to remember." Vanessa shook her head with a smile, and then turned her head to look at Leo. But, realization struck her. The guy had lost his memory. There was no way he was remembering anything.

"This is the reward I got from an antique, it's called a Claw Machine Game. Those things have gone out of production, but the Arcade had one." Vanessa said with an excited look on her face.

"Don't tell me this is the reason why you were an hour late?" Amelia asked with disbelief on her face.

Vanessa's face immediately broke out in a cold sweat on hearing that. "N-No..it was not...I just…"

"Let's just go back home." Leo shook his head, and got into the car. He had enough today. There was no need to hear her terrible lie, and make it worse.

Not to mention, he had to make plans on what to do ahead. His priority was training obviously, but he was hoping to somehow get that Bionic Battle Arm done before the end of the month.

"Why does he look a bit irritated? Did something happen?" Vanessa asked, looking at Amelia.

"Well, I will tell you later. Let's get back first." Amelia whispered to her. She knew that it was best not discussed here. After all, both Vanessa and Amelia were made of the same material. If they ended up saying something to demotivate him, it would be terrible.

After all, even though Amelia didn't like Aiden's nature earlier, she was kind of responsible for the fight this time so she could at least as do as much to not discourage him.

....

On returning, Leo immediately returned to his room.

He locked the door, and sat on his study desk and began to study the blueprint of the Bionic Battle Arm.

Over the past week, he had made considerable progress. The good thing about the Inheritance book was that it had everything covered that Leo needed to know. It even included practical demonstrations in the form of video images.

Leo was surprised when he first came across the video footage. He was expecting to see something which would allow him to have an idea about the person to whom this legacy belongs.

But, too bad.

It was Arthur

And, the demonstration were in the same form as when he had fought the damn A.I. in the [Virtual Projection.]

Time passed by…

Leo had his dinner in the room itself, and this left his family in confusion. But, he just gave the reason that he wasn't feeling well.

"I have a rough idea about it. I can even begin to build the smaller units....but.." There was a problem here. He had no idea where to get the things he needed. If it was back on Earth, he really would have a lot of connections.

He even had a personal working space there. It was true that he hadn't built something which could revolutionize society. But, it was all due to his lack of knowledge on things. You could still call him a small creator though. After all, he had made a few useless things.

But, the small creator, who finally had an opportunity to create something, didn't have his personal workshop here.

'Any idea, Arthur?' He couldn't help, but ask the only thing he had to depend on.

[Why not ask the family?]

'Should I?' Leo, for some reason was not comfortable with this idea. He actually had been worrying about this matter. He wanted to get out of the MTP after all. He had no interest in becoming a soldier.

But, he had heard that Amelia had been forced into MTP as well, this had left him with some doubts about this situation.

'Let's talk with Aaron first,' Leo muttered to himself. He didn't want to do anything which would hurt anyone. It was better if he discussed it with Aaron first, and then bring it up to either Viona or Edgar.

[I want to talk.] He messaged Aaron, and a reply soon came back.

[Sure, come into my room.]

…

"Knock!"

"Knock!"

"Come in.." Aaron said with a smile as he opened the door, and invited Leo in.

Leo looked around the room, and saw it was pretty clean. Aaron's room shared a bit of similarity to Aiden, The only difference was that he was a bit lighter on himself. One could tell that Aaron had a few hobbies, and stuff after gazing around in the room.

He had a game console around the corner of the room. And, then there was a poster of something which Leo had no idea about.

But, it definitely showed that he was more free in comparison to Aiden inside his own home. At least he was not suppressing himself like Aiden did.

"So, what do you want to talk about? Is it the fight at the end of the month?" Aaron asked with a smile.

It seemed that news travelled pretty fast around. This really left Leo speechless.

"Well, not about that. I have decided to deal with that on my own. I would take the beating or beat the guy up." He shook his head, while taking a seat on the couch.

"Well, that's the spirit!" Aaron was really happy to see him like that. It seemed that the previous Aiden was still hidden there. He knew that the guy would make a comeback.

But, Aaron's smile vanished with Leo's next words.

"Well, the thing I wanted to talk about is... actually….I want to quit the Military Training Program..."
