Still Loved Even In The New World
CHAPTER 217: Mecha Vs Origami Warrior.

The entire arena was silent. Suddenly everyone stood up from his chair and knelt on the floor.

"Our respect to the Moon Palace Supreme Lord."

I just nodded to respond to them. The students who were doing the presentation in the arena were still frozen motionless and without a word.

"H, respectfully yours, Your Majesty. Sorry for my bad behavior just now."

Suddenly they came from a daze and immediately knelt down. The chest of the Mecha was exposed and a female student in special tight clothes attached to her body, came out of the Mecha cockpit to kneel along with the others.

Filia:"Don't worry. I came today as a regular visitor, so you guys don't have to treat me special. How, can I invest in your plans?."

"T, of course you can, Your Majesty."

They answered me with a excited face. A billion points is not a small point. If exchanged for the Mecha Moon Palace, then at least they could obtain an initial two Tier Mecha, or ten Tier one Mecha. With such a Cost and judging from the Mecha they made, it was actually more than enough to conduct the initial research and production.

Filia:"Very good. But, I will only provide initial support and will not provide technology support. I want to see you develop and find your own way. If you have enough points, I'll give you permission to buy the building in Moon Palace that you can use as your research and production center."

I've seen that the Moon Palace people can have marriages with natives and can produce offspring. I intend to make the labyrinth of Moon Palace a populated city so that Moon Palace has a continuous development. Although I said that the buildings in the city they can buy, but everything will remain in my control and supervision.

Of course only students or people married to the residents of Moon Palace could stay. To outsiders, I will never accept them. Even at the thought of this I was a little hesitant and afraid of whether the people living in Moon Palace would make any damage to Moon Palace or not. The damage is not only the destruction of infrastructure, but also of social order. After all, human greed was something that could not be extinguished.

"T, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

I nodded at them with a smile. To the west of the Arena, suddenly the spectator seats split open to form a large gap. From within the crack, a platform with a long chair on it, appeared. Arene and I moved to that place and sat side by side.

Since my identity was already known, it would be difficult for me to mingle with the other children, so Arene and I sat in a special place that had been provided.

Filia:"From now on, I'll be a spectator. You can ignore me and continue your show quietly."

"B, okay..!"

Everyone answered, but his voice was not very excited and sounded nervous. If it continues like this, I think the tense atmosphere of this sreprrti will not be pleasant in an event that should be festive in the

Filia:"Don't be nervous. If what you showed me today catches my attention, I'll give you a gift."

"Yes, Your Highness!!!!."

This time everyone answered simultaneously and excitedly. What could arouse one's spirit except a reward for their efforts!?.

"Ehem.... Thank you again for your support from Your Majesty. Since His Highness also attended our event today, then we cannot let His Majesty wait. So, let's continue with the show."

I have to admit that the boy is quite good at talking. It might not be bad if I use it as a link between Moon Palace and the outside world.

"Because of the Mecha we created for military purposes, it would not be complete if we did not show its fighting capabilities to everyone present. Even though the Mecha we built is quite strong, it is still difficult when compared to Mecha Moon Palace. Therefore, we have selected the appropriate opponent for our Mecha. Please come in, Ling Tian, Title Holder:Paper Master."

Oh, I read about the boy's bio data. I initially did not expect that there would be a child who would have the talent as an Origami Warrior. Origami Warriors can turn origami into reality. For example, an Origami Warrior folded the shape of an eagle, then that paper fold would also be an eagle monster ready to fight for its owner.

The folds of the paper did not feel pain and fatigue, but when injured, they needed additional mana from the Caster to improve themselves. If not, then the damage to origami will accumulate and in the end the origami will disintegrate and disappear. So, how strong the origami is, it's influenced by the Caster. So too with his endurance in a battle.

Usually the Origami Warriors would fold simple inanimate objects, such as weapons or armor, but they could also fold living things. It's just that, where it is needed to realize living things or complicated objects requires a large consumption of mana every second. And also, the folding ability of living things was an extremely rare thing.

Origami Warrior is a difficult job. Although I can replicate that job, but I also need to learn how to fold paper. The ability to imitate my job is not all-rounded. Sometimes some jobs just make me understand how, but I need to learn the process, such as: Origami Warrior, Blacksmith, Alchemist, and so on.

If I imitate that job, then I also need to learn how to use it. Just like someone who is good at cooking, but if they do not have a recipe from a dish, they will also have difficulty cooking it. Same with Origami Warrior. If I can't fold paper, then I only know how it works, but I can't use it for a fight.

The selection of the opponents of the students was indeed appropriate. If they chose to fight against a fellow Mecha from Moon Palace, then the Mecha ability they created would not be able to be displayed as it could be instantly defeated.

The Mecha made by the students was made by putting together many parts like how to make an ancient Mecha, which was even more fragile than real living beings on the same level. While Moon Palace, Mecha is made by mimicking the structure of living things. Not by uniting each piece in an old-fashioned way, but by uniting each piece using a network made of metal.

In the making of the Mecha Moon Palace, we first had to create a skeleton of a certain material that mimicked the structure of a real living being. After the framework is completed and put together, we only need to install the engine and various spare parts needed and put everything together directly, like organs in living things that are united by various types of living tissue. Once everything is installed, then the next step is to coat everything with artificial metal muscles commonly referred to as «Metal Muscle Tissue» which is made to extend like a rope that is selected and arranged to resemble a muscle in living things. Each MMT strand is small, so it takes many MMTs installed in a particular circuit to become one-unity and be able to move a Mecha section perfectly.

Aside from being a protective armor to protect the fragile parts of the Mecha, the MMT also functions as a driving system on the Mecha, just like the muscles of living things in general. That way, the shape of the Mecha Moon Palace really resembles a real living creature with good mobility despite the agile and flexible movement. Unlike the Mecha made by students whose movements are still awkward and limited.

Of course the creation of the Mecha Moon Palace was not over yet. If it made a humanoid Mecha, then in this process, Mecha looked like a plain and naked humanoid figure that was completely lacking in aesthetics. Therefore, the last step is the installation of the outer armor which in addition to functioning as a protector, the outer armor also serves as a refinement of the Mecha appearance.

I just explained the Mecha creation process roughly, if I explained everything, it would be too long and very complicated, including the algorithms that need to be installed in every muscle tissue. Keep in mind, that one arm only, there are about two billion MMT installed for maximum results. And every strand of MMT needs a special algorithm so that the movement does not interfere with each other, but supports each other.

The complexity of the manufacturing process is what makes me reluctant to hand over such technology to students. If they were to study it at the moment, it would only hinder their work and prevent them from progressing further since they did not have a strong enough foundation. Well, same with elementary school students who don't need to study university lessons. They need to learn everything from the basics.

A boy with dark eyes and hair appeared slowly from one of the arena doors. He was wearing the Moonlight Academy's student uniform. In his right hand was a blue armband with a picture of a paper airplane.

Ling Tian:"Ling Tian met with, Your Majesty."

The boy leaned towards me. I gave him a light nod. After paying my respects, he ascended to the top of the battle arena. The other children who had nothing to do with the fight, they immediately walked out of the fighting arena and looked for a seat among the spectators.

[Battle: Ling Tian VS Aili Altair.]

[Protectors are raised.]

An electronic voice was heard announcing the match. A transparent energy dome rose up and enveloped the entire battle arena, confining it between the battle arena and the spectator area. Preventing spectators from being hit by stray attacks.

[Select battle area _]

"Random dry area!." 2x

They both said simultaneously. They choose random dry areas for fear of entering wet areas. The problem is, the ocean is also in a wet area, so it will be very detrimental to both of them.

Why would they choose randomly and not determine the battle area directly, like the meadow or the others?. That's because they wanted to show that the Mecha could be effective in any terrain other than the waterfield.

[Random area_]

[Determined, Area: Desert.]

[Mode: Training.]

[Activation]

The entire battle area suddenly swayed and a white light appeared. After the white light disappeared, the arena had turned into a vast desert. As far as the eye can see, there are only sand and sand dunes. Because of the large area of sand, even the fighters are almost invisible.

(If anyone has ever seen the Daigunder Anime series, then they will know what kind of arena I mean here.)

[Start_]

Once the countdown was complete, the two of them immediately made their move. The silver claw of the Mecha was in the shot towards Ling Tian very quickly like a bullet. Behind the claw is hooked using a steel rope so that it can be taken back after being fired.

Ling Tian took a quick step back and immediately took out a shield-shaped origami. The origami quickly became light and turned into a beautiful white shield.

Dang...!

Crak..!

As the steel claws struck the shield, a loud clanging sound rang out in conjunction with sparks. Although the shield was cracked, but the shield also managed to withstand the opening attack of the Mecha that the student called Aili was riding on.

But it's not over. The mecha was hurtling rapidly towards Ling Tian with the help of a booster jet mounted on his back. Before the left hand claw was fully retracted, Mecha's large right hand was clenched and coated by a transparent blue energy. The large right hand immediately punched out towards Ling Tian who was still moving backwards while holding the cracked shield in his hand.

Ling Tian removed the shield and jumped back further while taking out the origami from his pocket.

Boomm...!

The cracked shield shattered into pieces and turned into pieces of paper. But since the punch was hampered by the shield even though it was only for a moment, it was enough for Ling Tian to dodge the attack from the Mecha. The origami that Ling Tian took out turned into a huge blue steel sword.

With a sword in his hand, Ling Tian twisted his body and slashed towards that Mecha.

Clang....!

The explosion...!

The attack targeting the Mecha was blocked by Mecha's left hand, resulting in a deafening clanging sound. The clash of the two of them was so strong that it made the sand around them explode and created a huge hole.

The two figures flew away from each other and took a distance of several meters.

The reason why Mecha's hand was made bigger was because it was both her assault weapon and shield. Both arms were of great size not because of the many gadgets attached, but also because the armour of his hands was made thick to be able to withstand attacks. It was an interesting design, but the speed of his hands would decrease. Even so, the attacks given can become stronger with the help of a large period.

I also admire this girl named Aili. He is able to control a Mecha that I can say is very raw in a sandy area very well. Since the sandy area is an unstable area, it should be very difficult to maintain the balance of the Mecha. However, this Aili girl did. I can say this as a talent.

And to Ling Tian. He had high instincts and fighting experience. He deliberately took off his already cracked shield and did not fix it with mana, as he knew that the shield would not be able to fully withstand the attack from the Mecha's punch. Of course he could reduce the attack damage by repairing the shield with mana, but it was a wasteful action.

Against machines that do not have fatigue, is a loss if we waste mana. So he took off the shield as a victim and preferred to take out the origami sword to change the tempo of the fight that initially survived into an attack so that he was not in a passive condition.

Looking at the two of them, I should nod and admire their battle. This is talent.

From the large screen surrounding the protective dome, all of their movements were both clearly visible.

The two of them observed each other and resumed their attacks. The clangs of clashing iron resounded in the vast desert.

The audience area became very lively with various cheers from the students. The old students were very excited and cheered in favor of one of the parties. While the students were new, they were more excited and clamoring towards the arena. Their eyes were full of admiration and adoration for those outstanding seniors.

Their match lasted two hours with a balanced result. The mecha suffered a lot of damage and some parts were cut off by the origami weapon from Ling Tian. Moreover, after a long and high-intensity fight, the engine on the Mecha began to heat up. For such a raw Mecha, it was already an excellent result.

And for Ling Tian, he lost a lot of origami. His clothes became messy with several bloody wounds and bruises all over his body. He had also run out of mana as well as energy, making his breathing extremely heavy.

The two of them finally reached a mutual consensus and decided to end the fight with a draw.

Although no one won, no one was disappointed. They had already enjoyed the incredible show, what else did they complain about?!.

After the fight was over, the protective dome was brought down and the arena returned to its original state. The cockpit section opened and Aili's girl was coming out with sweat all over her body. Controlling the Mecha is not only physical exhaustion, but also the consumption of high concentration. Although the consumption was much less than Ling Tian, but it was also not small.

The two of them walked side by side and kneeled towards me. Looking at the appearance of the two of them, I was very satisfied and nodded with a smile.

Filia:"You guys are so good. Although there are still parts that need to be repaired, but your skills can both make me satisfied."

"Thank you for your endless praise, Your Majesty." 2x

Philia:"Yes. For your good skills, I give you a gift."

I waved my hand and two items appeared, floating before me. One item is a black dominant mecha with a red combination stored in a 9x6cm card. And one other item was a thick book with an untitled brown skin.

This book is a blend of Live origami in which there is a special origami paper making method and how to make origami live. This skill book has two volumes. The first volume is the one currently hovering in front of me, while the second volume is in my hands. If it were still in Alterion, the Origami Warriors who saw this book would go crazy.

I waved my hand lightly and made the two items that were in front of me float towards Ling Tian and Aili.

Filia:"In the card is stored Mecha growth that will adjust your power from Tier zero to you in Tier three. Meanwhile, the book, it was an alloy of the Origami Warrior from zero to Tier three. You can have it, and I hope, you will develop further and become a strong support for Moon Palace in the future."

Growth mecha is no ordinary Mecha. It was a Mecha with top-tier technology that could adjust to its pilot power. It needs to be understood, the stronger the Mecha in control, the greater the pilot strength requirements. If I were to give Aili a Tier three Mecha directly, with her current strength, she would not be able to control it. It is the same for origami paper. The stronger the origami, the higher the requirements for Caster.

Receiving both gifts, their faces both looked red and excited, but they had yet to react in surprise. As students of Moonlight Academy in Moon Palace, naturally they have a general understanding of both objects, so I guess their brains are still in the process.

Ling Tian:"Y, Your Majesty. This... It's too incredible."

Philia:"You both deserve that."

"We will both try our best and will never let you down, Your Majesty." 2x.

The two of them immediately knelt down and shouted sincerely. Yes, I am very satisfied with the attitude of the two of them...

This is very nice...

(The end of this chapter.)

I updated it too late because during the day I had to go to a relative's house quite far away...
