Who Says an F-Ranker Can't Pilot a Mecha?

To win the million starcoin prize at the Federal Empire Hero Cup, Zhu Qi signed up with the secondhand modified mech she'd picked up.

Unfortunately, her very first match paired her against a top student with A+ mental strength.

When Zhu Shi's mech took the stage, the whole audience booed.

Someone who got perfect scores in five theory classes, zeroes in two practical classes, and barely scraped into the Federal Empire Academy in last place, a good-for-nothing F-rank student from Class F who couldn't even pilot a mech, actually dared to take the stage?

Get off the stage, trash!

Zhu Shi smiled, eyes bright, and didn't budge.

Referee: "Three, two, one!"

Bang!

The third-generation classic super-assault mech piloted by the A+-level mental strength genius instantly lost all combat capability.

The entire audience gasped.

How was that possible?

An F-level good-for-nothing with a junk secondhand mech beat a third-generation classic super fighter?

Zhu Qi looked up at the silent audience and smiled.

Ever heard of Blue Star's greatest engineer?

Ever heard of a mental-strength amplifier?

The times have changed, people. These days, technology is the ultimate fighting power.

P.S. The mechs include original worldbuilding. They have aerial and ground combat modes, as well as mental strength and synchronization rates.

Only during the debrief did all the surviving players realize just how powerful Wei Lai was.

At first, in this horror game packed with top players, nobody paid attention to the quiet nobody with her head bowed in the corner, whom the System had rated as failing the initial assessment.

Later, after each instance loaded and each battle royale ended, the players who barely survived, battered and exhausted, would look at the rankings. There was always only one name in first place: Wei Lai.

It's unfair. She did nothing.

Impossible. Her overall ability rating didn't even pass.

How could that be? She looks so weak.

Faced with the indignant protests, the adjudicator played the review footage. "She micromanaged it."
