Chapter 2: The Reader System
Kira excitingly checking out this "System", on the hologram screen of the app, he found 3 buttons
{USER} {SKILLS} {ACHIEVEMENT(*)}
As he click on USER, another screen open
'Name: KIRA LARKISON'
'Profession: N/A'
'Specializations: N/A'
'Reader Points: N/A' (*)
'Attributes: (*)
- Strength: 0.2
- Dexterity: 0.2
- Endurance: 0.1
- Intelligence: 1.2
- Creativity: 0.8
- Concentration: 1.2
- Spirituality: 0.4
- Neural Aptitude: B
"Oh, Strength, Dexterity, Endurance is so slow, must be because i'm in a 6 years old kid body, Intelligence, Concentration are goods, i was 35 before i transmigrated here after all, Creativity not too low but not too high, i think it's due to my reading hobby and my interested in sci-fi movies and novels, Spirituality is good enough according to the novel, guess i have it this early because i'm a transmigrator. Neural Aptitude is great, seem like i inherited my 'father' genes after all."
"But become a mech pilot can't help me with my plight unless i become an ace pilot, and it's not like i can easily become one anyway, and what is this Reader Points?"
Kira then click on the (*) symbol next to Reader Points line, and another screen show up
'Reader Points are system reward for user whenever user archive some notable reading-related achievements like comprehend new knowledge after reading books, discover new scientific knowledge, create and fabricate new inventions (mech designs, ship designs, etc....) Reader Points can be used to increase User's attributes, comprehend new knowledge from User's existing knowledges, make improvement on User's designs'
"So it's like design points, but there's not as many uses and i can't use RP to buy immediate fix, there's a (*) symbol next to Attribute line too, let check it and other tabs out"
'Attributes are summaries of user's baseline abilities, attributes can slowly improve with related activities and training or through the uses of RP and outside influences like genes treatments'
{SKILLS}
[BUSINESS]: Apprentice
[COMPUTER SCIENCE]: Incompetent
[MATHEMATICS]: Incompetent
[SCIENCE]: Incompetent
{ACHIEVEMENT}
N/A
'Achievement as it name suggested, is list of user's notable activities, every achievements will give user rewards in the form of RP, attributes or special abilities'
"Urg, there's no RP yet so i can't check out how much need to improve my attributes, and this system seem like a perfect match for a mech designer. I have decided, i will use this to become a successful Mech Designer, and Mech Pilot too. It's maybe impossible to others, but with what i knew from the novel and this system, i can make the impossible possible, design and pilot my own Mech is as cool as it can be. I'll create a new organization, find my own success path to make up for my old failure life and stay away from the troubles that will be brought by that lunatic Ves Larkinson."
*********************************************************************************************************
The next day, outside Rittersburg Brightlight Primary School, Jonathan Larkinson, a former Mech Corps Mech Pilot that serve in the Bright-Vesia War 40 years ago and a member of the Larkinson family council is now talking with his grandson Kira.
"Well my grandson, you will now have 4 years to make new friends, enjoy your time here, after the genetic test at your 10 years old birthday, no matter what the result is, don't get bother by it okay? Even if you can't become a mech pilot, it's okay to find your own path. You see, your father maybe an expert candidate but i'm only a normal mech pilot, so don't get too pressure by it, your mother was an inspiring mech designer, and her family is a fame scientist dynasty, so you can chose this path too." - Jonathan Larkinson
"I know grandpa, it's still too early to talk about this" - Kira
"Hmmm, even though you have always been more mature than kids of your age, it's good to have options. Don't kids in this Age of Mech all idolize powerful and heroic mech pilots? Especially when one was their own father? I'm afraid you will take becoming an expert pilot as your goal too early and waste other opportunities" - Jonathan
"Don't you feel proud when your grandson become a powerful mech pilot?" - Kira
"Hmmm, both my kids were good pilots, and both died in the last war, i had enough of that 'honor', my only wish now is to witness my grandchildren live long and happy before i die" - Jonathan
"You worry too much grandpa, i'm only 6 years old" - Kira
From what Kira recalled from his memory, Colonel Jonathan Larkinson, his grandfather, was a good Mech pilot of the 4th Auxilia Hunters, one of the six Mech Divisions of the Bright Republic's Mech Corps, his best achievement was taking down a Vesian expert candidate pilot in the war 40 years ago, a feat not many normal pilots can boast, after that war he was on the rise and soon became the division commander. Even though he retired 10 years before the last war started, the current commander still respected and listened to his advices, especially when both his sons, Patrick & Roland enlisted and became expert pilot candidates of the 4th. After both of them died in the last war, Jonathan was devastated, and no amount of honor or reverent from the 5th or the Republic can sooth his old heart. His two grandsons, 10-years old Athrun and 6-years old Kira, are all he has now, and today is the first day of them at their respective school. Previously, Jonathan and Kira said goodbye to Athrun at a pilot school affiliated with the 4th, The Auxilia Pilot school, which opened and ran by the 4th's retired pilots.
'Well, with grade B aptitude, i will be a mech pilot for sure, but my goal is greater than that, i'll plot out my plan during this 4 years here, my grandfather's words have merit too, i have my mother's family as another option here'
'It's strange that there's no mention of these guys in the original novel, from what i just recalled, Athrun got grade B aptitude too, for the Republic or any 3rd rate states, grade B would be their treasures and the states would invest heavily on them. Or is it because of Jonathan's protectiveness they never became known to the public? But, that work for me too, i should try looking for more promising people that never appear in the novel to minimize the change to the original plotline.'
"Hahaha ok kiddo, have a good time here, i'll see you in the next family gathering" - Jonathan laugh as he leaves.
*********************************************************************************************************
Rittersburg Brightlight Primary School is a special school as it only accept the descendants from elitist families of the Republic, here they will nurture the next generations elitists, in-turn the graduate students' families will invest quite a lot back to the school, it's also where the young elitists get to know others and start building new circles of socialite. Even though the Larkinson family is famous in the military circle and an well-established military dynasty of the Republic, and the Ainsworth is famous in the science circle, both families were never view as upper class in the Bright Republic's elitist circle, so this is the first time a Larkinson or Ainsworth attend this school and that only due to the merits of Kira Larkinson's parents, one of the privileges given to Kira.
In the Age of Mech, the turning point of one life is at their 10 years old birthday, when they test for genetic aptitude and determine if they belong to the 3.5% of the privileged human population - a mech pilot potentate. But as the place where they nurture the next generation of elitist, Rittersburg Brightlight Primary School give all of its students good environment to develop their physique and knowledge, from the best nutrition foods to the best high techs and knowledge of the Republic so even if a kid don't have the aptitude to become a pilot they can develop into a leader role in the future.
Led by a teacher to his dorm room, Kira quietly look around and thinking about his next steps
'So each room have 2 students, with spacious space, a learn-station each which have access to all the learning materials, 3 meals a day in the school's Mess Hall, and 2 snack meals in dorm room, all the foods are highly nutritious to help develop physique and brain. Damn it's great to have such privilege life, look like i'm not that unlucky now.'
'Okay, my greatest advantage here is i know what's going to happen, and to make the most out of that, i need to stay at low key as possible while quietly build up my own organization and take advantage of what's happening around Ves, to do that i need to become a successful Mech Designer, luckily with the Reader System it will not be that hard, especially when i know the rough ways to advance to higher rank Designer and Pilot.'
'Hmmm, the other kids here may come here to have fun and create circles, but as the Republic going to it's doom in about 30 years, there is no need to care about them at all, i should focus on getting the most out of this place'.
And so it start Kira Larkinson 4 years of intense training and learning that you can never expect from a 6 years old kid.
