Fortunately, the core had given him a training method that seemed to be rather unique .

After the warehouse incident, Garen had downloaded the confidential doc.u.ment that was transferred via the core to him from the Mech's computer . He then proceeded to wipe off all traces of it once he had done so . Once he had reached home and recovered the data, he made sure that he did not leave behind any loopholes multiple times before he deleted all the records . He even destroyed the hard disc and used a new one in order to prevent any leaks .

"After this incident, I should start a.n.a.lyzing the training methods that I obtained," according to Garen's estimation, this training method was no ordinary training method as it was at least a Level Five . However, he had no intention of retraining himself . If he were to abandon his Crouched Eagle Talon, it would be extremely difficult as his Willpower had already taken to its shape . Similar to a stone sculpture, it would be difficult to change it to another shape once its external shape was formed . He would have to exhaust more material and time if he were to start over .

As Inari kept driving along the road, Garen was thinking of a way to further perfect his Crouched Eagle Talon .

He didn't plan to abandon this training method at all . In fact, he planned to improve it .

This was because the new training method was completely irrelevant to the Crouched Eagle Talon in terms of the involvement of body parts . The three main body parts involved with the Crouched Eagle Talon were the hands and chest .

On the other hand, the new training method involved his head, legs, and the back, which was the most important part . There were a total of four body parts and they did not overlap with the Crouch Eagle Talon . This seemed to have been considered by the Core .

Two training methods could be overlap and not interfere with each other . This was equivalent to wearing two sets of equipment and utilizing one of them whenever needed .

Unfortunately, the Crouched Eagle Talon could only go up to Level Five . Naturally, he could go the Eagle's Nest and spend his Quest Points or Contribution Points to obtain the information for all five levels . However, the price wasn't cheap as it was at least equivalent to hundreds of thousands of Universal Units .

Even so, the Crouched Eagle Talon was still a high-cost performance training method to the public since there were very few training methods that could reach Level Five .

Garen had realized that the strength of his Crouched Eagle Talon was just a mere Level Three . This was probably because he would need a military ident.i.ty to reach Level Four . Before taking on the mission, he would have had no opportunities to be qualified to possess such an ident.i.ty . However, after contributing to them with his strength, it was slightly easier for him to obtain a military ident.i.ty and it should not be a problem for him to obtain all five levels of the training method .

Beep beep… Beep beep…

As Garen was lost in his thoughts, his watch started beeping .

He raised his wrist to eye level to find out that it was a new message .

'The Merit Awarding Ceremony will be held at the second military division . The time will be tomorrow at 16:00 . Please arrive beforehand . '

"Where is the Second Military Division located?"

Garen casually asked .

Inari who had been messed with by Garen didn't dare to mess with him anymore and decided to be very honest with him .

"It's just beside the Empire State Building in the Magical Rose District . Why do you ask? Are the upper levels going to award the merits?"

"Yep . You're good guessing these kinds of stuff, no?"

Garen glanced at her as he knew that this girl possessed a great amount of intel .

Inari didn't dare to speak further as she displayed the location of the place clearly on the vehicle's map . They didn't speak further after Garen copied it into his Watch Terminal .

They encountered a few red lights along their journey back to the Blackboard Academy .

The sky gradually turned dark while the number of cars increased as the peak hours were approaching . Red cars and buses started appearing more and more and their speed gradually slowed down .

A few motorcyclists in helmets and sports enthusiasts who had pa.s.sed by Garen's car would whistle and laugh loudly when they saw Inari in the driver's seat .

A few motorcyclists in helmets and sports enthusiasts who had pa.s.sed by Garen's car would whistle and laugh loudly when they saw Inari in the driver's seat .

"These kids!" Inari scoffed .

"You grew up around these people," Garen casually laughed .

Inari didn't refute as she seemed to be traumatized by Garen's ambush .

The traffic jam became worse as everyone had just got off from work . Occasionally, honks could be heard from the front and back .

The traffic jam was terrible and the vehicles could only move at a snail's pace . The VIP lane which was three meters above the ground was empty as usual . Since the cars at the bottom did not have the authority and the capability to rise up to that level, they could only move slowly at the bottom lane .

By the time they arrived Blackboard Academy, the sky had already turned dark .

Garen immediately went to report to the academy, called up his instructor and a few good friends, and took his dinner before going back to his dorm .

As he reached his dorm, he immediately looked around in an attempt to uncover any hidden cameras or bugs in every suspicious spot . Garen even used specialized scanning devices to ensure there was no spying in the area before tidying up the training method that he had obtained .

It was a nameless training method and the information that might have names involved were edited . It was obviously the doing of the Forbidden Core .

However, these were not important . What was the most important was that this training method showed signs of being capped at Level Six .

Although there were only five levels given by the Forbidden Core, it was obvious that there were signs of Level Six at the end of the information . It was something Garen could easily spot from the training method's information .

"Planning to use this to negotiate with me, eh?" he managed to guess the Forbidden Core's intention to use such a high-level training method as its offer . In addition to that, he'd even planned to rope him into this troublesome situation with his brother Baylon .

"However, this is fine by me as well . "

"However, this is fine by me as well . "

Garen was willing to take a step back as the training method that was given by the other party was incredibly powerful . According to Garen's estimation, it was most likely the legendary Inherited Level .

Only training methods that could reach Level Six were considered an Inherited Level . There was one major distinction between an Inherited Pilot and a normal Pilot, which was that the latter was much stronger than the former . The drastic difference was comparable to that of an elite from the sacred martial art academy and a typical martial artist who lived by the streets . Their strengths were simply not in the same realm .

However, the most important take here was that the weakest Inherited Pilot was a Level Six .

He had temporarily named this training method as the Forbidden Training Method, which came from the very idea that it was a training method that was forbidden .

The main parts involved were the back, legs, and head . With each level up, it would increase the Mech's Reflex, Endurance, and Recovery by a level each .

Reflex was a skill that temporarily increased the Pilot's sudden movements by increasing the response of the Pilot's nerves . This would increase the reaction time of the Pilot and Mech as a whole .

On the other hand, Endurance was similar to what the Red-White Mech had showcased, where it would increase its lifespan by reducing its energy lost via energy channeling . It would increase the lifespan of the reserved energy and hence Endurance . This meant that it could ensure the Mech retained mobility for as long as possible .

As for Recovery, it was the core of the training method . Before this, Garen had never heard of a training method that could heal on its own .

This unique ability was exclusive only to the Inherited Mech . The Inherited Mech could be best described as a Mech that had gained life . As long as it had energy, it would have the ability to slowly regenerate itself .

This training method surprisingly had the Recovery ability from the very beginning, which was to say that it was the most powerful aspect of the training method .

Garen could also feel that the reason why the Forbidden Core had given him this training method was that it would not clash with his Crouched Eagle Talon .

As he thought until here, Garen walked into the bathroom, took off his clothes and stood underneath the shower head, naked . He then turned on the cold water and allowed it to drip from his head to his toes .

As he looked over his current status, he felt relieved .

As he looked over his current status, he felt relieved .

"The Potential Points have acc.u.mulated to this amount?"

With the Staff of Absolute Yin in his possession, it had given him an unlimited source of potential points . As long as he rubbed this staff for an hour each day, it would give Garen two Potential Points . It would then wilt but even so, it had given Garen enough cus.h.i.+on to face any problem .

The Instantaneous Paper Box that he had obtained together with the staff was a one-time-use item that could repel the Energy Field . Garen had been keeping it and had yet to use it, unlike the Staff of Absolute Yin which he had been utilizing on a daily basis .

The gem in the Staff of Absolute Yin was a treasure that could automatically generate potential points as it would store a small number of energy points inside of itself . Similarly, it would release them slowly . Hence Garen had to absorb the stored Potential Points inside frequently in order to not waste his time .

However, the effect of it being slow was that he could only absorb a maximum of two points per day . The rate would be greatly reduced afterward .

Even so, Garen was extremely satisfied with it .

Several days' worth of acc.u.mulated potential points had been used to increase his Willpower by a level to reach Level Four when he'd fought against the Red-White Mech . After spending two potential points, he had sixteen points remaining .

"Sixteen points… I can use all of them at once to increase this training method . The reason why the Crouched Eagle Talon has no Level Six is simply that the limit of this training method is Level Five . Hence, a lot of people would try to earn more money and buy a better training method once they have reached level five and relearn it again with the Crouched Eagle Talon as their base . It is a viable way to earn money and learn a new training method at the same time," Garen pondered as he started channeling his Willpower slowly into both of his legs according to the forbidden record . This was the first level of this new training method .

It was a good opportunity for him to obtain an Inherited Training Method . If he were to try to obtain an Inherited Training Method through the traditional way in the academy, he would have no choice but to enter a household, pledge a Mech's oath and carve an absolute command order algorithm onto his own Inherited Mech . Furthermore, he would have to abide by a strict restraint on which training methods he could learn and he would not be allowed to leak any of this out to the public .

It would be equivalent to becoming the sect's underling or fighter . Their contract would at least require from them decades of services or else, one would never be able to obtain Inherited Level resources . As these items were strictly controlled, they lived in a different realm from typical Pilots .

Garen didn't want to become a slave to any household . However, he would be capped at Level Five without these Inherited Training Methods and have no hopes of improving further, just like Red Eye Medero .

Medero was not able to obtain the relevant resources and training method because she didn't join any Inherited powerhouses . Furthermore, her academy teacher, who was one of the Three Heads, didn't let them obtain any Inherited Level Training Method for some reason . Till this date, excluding the Three Heads, only Black Rain had obtained an Inherited Training Method . The rest didn't have the opportunity and even among the bunch of instructors, ninety percent of them were capped at Level Five . They had been training themselves at this level for so long and yet there were no improvements .

There was only one special instructor who had managed to breakthrough into the Inherited Level on his own . He then inherited this to the Academy but was not able to improve further than Level Six .

Fortunately, the core had given him a training method that seemed to be rather unique . After the warehouse incident, Garen had downloaded the confidential doc.u.ment that was transferred via the core to him from the Mechs computer .
