--1v1, HE, both leads devoted only to each other, both strong, no secondary couples--
★Magic + mecha + a touch of interstellar adventure Genius commander ❌ Ace pilot
Seventy percent of people are born without magic, while thirty percent are born with magical power and can use magic. The two sides resent each other. It is both humanity's evolution and a curse from the universe.
Wei Shengcan has no time to care about their struggle for interests. She has her own problem: she is someone both groups reject. She has magical power, but is completely unable to use magic. Because of her unusual situation, even after graduating from the flight vehicle piloting program at a top school, she can't find a single job.
Wei Shengcan doesn't consider herself a case of road rage, but her anxiety over what to do after graduation gets the better of her. During a flight practice lesson, she accidentally rear-ends her substitute instructor's training craft.
When it rains, it pours. Now, not only has Wei Shengcan failed to find a job, she also has to pay an astronomical amount in damages.
Facing the anger of the substitute instructor, Jian Ze, Wei Shengcan tries to shift the blame. "The speed limit is 800, and you were going 300. You were crawling along, so it's entirely your fault!"
Wei Shengcan has no money, and she hasn't found a job he can use to hold it over her, so Jian Ze can only swallow his anger and pay the repair costs out of his own pocket.
That's how their grudge begins. Unfortunately, when Wei Shengcan arrives to report for her one and only job offer, the new boss standing in front of her is none other than Jian Ze, the man she rear-ended.
Wei Shengcan can only put on a smile and plead with him: "Commander, could you swipe my card and get me a meal? The card reader here needs magic, and I can't use it."
Jian Ze really wants to strangle her, but he still swipes her meal card with a dark expression.
When you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head. Wei Shengcan nods and scrambles to appease him, acting obedient and meek as she puts the fish from her plate onto Jian Ze's.
Jian Ze's expression darkens further. "I'm allergic to seafood."
"Then the stir-fried beef..."
"I'm allergic to beef too."
"What about spicy chicken..."
"I'm allergic to chili peppers too!"
With no way to win him over, Wei Shengcan pouts and mutters, "How can you be allergic to everything? You're so fragile. It's a wonder you've lived this long."
Huh???
Jian Ze's fists clench, but he can't lay a hand on her. After all, Wei Shengcan is a pilot. He can't hit her, can't touch her eyes, and even the feet that work the pedals are precious.
"Just you wait!"
Wei Shengcan shrinks her neck, then grins and points at the drinks in the vending machine. "Commander, could you buy me a drink too? That thing needs magic as well."
[The galaxy is so vast. Why should we have to wander, with nowhere to call home? Jian Ze, I want somewhere I can come home to.]
