Race was currently staring at the amount of material available at the Beginner Mechanic level. It was many times more than what he expected. This was because at the level of a beginner mechanic, the amount of topics dealt with are immense. Only at the Beginner Mechanic level will one be allowed to work with mechs.

Mechs were far more complex than mobile armors and that is why there is a sudden hike in the difficulty in the Beginner Mechanic level. The Variations were limitless, So were the research papers and study materials. When a Mechanic Reached this level he will slowly move focus himself into a single aspect. He does have practical knowledge of the various important components to make a mech work. But he will be more inclined to increasing a single parameter or specific function of the Mech.

Now Race was facing this same dilemma. Whether to be a master in a few fields or to be a jack of all trades. " There is saying; a jack of all trades is a master of none, most people end it here. But the entire saying goes like this, A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one".

To others the Idea of learning all of the different topics available at the Beginner Mechanic level seems impossible, But not for Race. Race's Mental capacity was already equal to one at the Advanced Mechanic level. Combine that with his total concentration ability, he can easily pull that off.

The hologram panel was showing the various branches that Race can focus on. " I would like learn it all", Race stated his decision to the AI. A confirmation prompt asking Race whether he was sure about his choice appeared. To which a resolute Yes was Race's reply.

A list containing a huge number of topics and materials was shown before Race. " Wow, No wonder many choose to focus on a single field." Race shook his head as he selected the first topic in the list. " It is gonna be a while before I finish all of this". Race then focused on the topic that appeared in his hand.

He had already entered his total concentration. Race did not feel anything around him. The material was all that he could see. All his brain power was focused on etching the words too his memory. He was motionless as he read through topics and topics, memorising every research paper.

He stayed like that till the timer he had set went off. It reminded him it was time for him to refine Mana. Race went to have lunch with his brothers. They were enjoying their casual talks when Magnus asked about what Race decided to focus on.

" Everything", was Race's reply.

"What do you mean by everything, Do you believe that you can do it", Magnus seemed a bit agitated.

" I do. I really believe I can do it", Race prepared himself to argue with his senior.

" You sure about that ?", Magnus asked after calming himself.

" Yes". Race gave his answer.

" Ok then, If you believe that you can do it, do it." Magnus said casually.

Race was stunned as he was expecting a lengthy argument. Seeing Race was startled Magnus said,

" I know you are different than the rest of us. You are smarter. I don't know your limits. I don't know whether you know it as well. So I thought it was better to let you try. All I know is that it is way beyond my limits. I am incapable of deciding what you should do. It is more than assured that you can learn everything in the Beginner Mechanic without a hitch."

Race was perplexed for a moment then he thanked him." Thank you for believing in me Brother Magnus, Don't put me on a pedestal, I still need you guidance as well."

" Yeah, right for how long. You will be reach my level in under a year and then I will be the one needing your guidance."

" No worries Big Brother Race, I will guide you", the mischievous voice of Sione was heard. To which Race answered with knuckle rub on Sione's head. " Yeah, Please guide me Sione," Race continued to knead his knuckle on Sione's head. Till Sione, who was the stronger of the two easily overpowered Race. Sione kneaded Race head till Magnus stopped him, only after a hearty and long laugh.

Race and the others returned to their rooms. In his room Race sat cross-legged on his bed as he began tonight's Mana refining.

Race brought his breathing under a rhythm. He took in a substantial amount of Mana, more than what he took in last night. Race was determined to increase the rate of his progress, he had decided to push himself to the limits of his endurance. The amount of Primal Magicules liberated was more than enough to make a grown man die from the pain. But Race gritted his teeth as used it to further strengthen his body, Slowly changing every cell to be more conductive towards the new form of energy.

He did it for 10 times this night. As last nights stunt made his body more accepting of this new energy. Race summoned his status screen.

The progress had jumped from 12% to 48%. His pain was rewarded. He was just a couple of days away from reaching the body strengthening level one. The uneasiness Race felt was still there constantly reminding him of an impending danger.

The next day Race woke up and got ready for breakfast. Race was met with a surprising news. His senior brother was going to spar with him.

" Race help get in to shape." Magnus said

As they walked to the training arena.
