3 How did we even get here?

"So, could you tell me more about your idea?" Welt asked Adam as he enthusiastically nodded

"Wasn't this supposed to be our Engineering Level Test? " Lyle whispered to Tesla as they all were seated in the break room of the lab " It was but, those idiots are too invested. " Tesla said as she shrugged, she knew these type of people would be too invested "I'll do your tests later." She said "Can you not? " Lyle asked in reply as he got a glare, making him fake a cough and look away

"Mr. Yang, My Idea, is to make a World where Mechs are War Machines of sorts, the story will be mainly action focused and about war and humanity." He began explaining multiple parts of his script as Welt's eyes seemed to grow brighter with every passing moment

"Could you draw me a design of how you expect to make the Mechs? Even a rough framework is enough." Welt asked Adam as he nodded "Here-" Welt said as he took out a card from his pocket "-This is my personal mail, you can send the script and design to me when you're free." Welt said as Adam smiled

Lyle looked at Adam dumbfounded as he somehow, probably befriended Welt Yang, one of the two most influential figures in the world alongside Otto Apocalypse

"He's probably happy to have met a younger generation with the same passion as him for Mechs and the same level of hatred for HOMU." Tesla said as Lyle was a bit curious now "Why does he hate HOMU?" Lyle asked curiously as Tesla tried not to laugh

"You both know of Bronya?" She asked him as he nodded "Yeah, the current successor selected by Mr. Yang and daughter of Cocolia, an Executive." Lyle nodded "Bronya, she loves HOMU." Tesla said as she tried to suppress her laugh "She likes Arahato too but, she likes HOMU more, which broke his heart. She said, and I quote 'Arahato is cool but cliche, Bronya likes cute things more' "

"But, that doesn't?" Lyle began as Tesla trembled a bit "Otto, he was there at that time." She told him "He now always taunts Joachim with the fact that Bronya likes the HOMU he made more." She grinned as she looked at Lyle "That day, Joachim's hatred for HOMU began."

As Lyle was trying to hold his laughter and almost suffocating, the interaction between Welt and Adam somehow became a discussion on how they could improve Arahato

"Right, Arahato mainly focuses on the heroic part, right? Why don't we change that a bit?" Adam asked Welt as he nodded curiously "Oh? What's your idea?" He asked intrigued

{ Half an Hour Later.....}

"So, theoretically it could definitely hit the people who watch the animation when they see the end." Adam said as Welt looked at him dumbfounded "You, you're a pretty good writer." Welt said as he felt cold sweat run down his back from just how dark the settings he set for the world were

...Yes, Adam had just told him the plot of Neon Genesis Evangelion

Looking at Adam and Welt in shock were Lyle and Tesla, the latter who shot Lyle a look as if asking 'Who the hell traumatized him?' with Lyle shrugging in reply 'How should I know?'

(It was either Honkai Impact or just life in general, no, wait, it was reddit.)

"If it isn't that good, i could make another story? It's about a young man who wants to end tyranny of a ruler-" Welt and the other two listened to Adam's narration with intrigue

{ Few minutes later....}

"...And then he'd sacrifice himself as his best friend takes up his mantle." Adam finished as Welt was once again speechless, from the short description Welt had heard, he could easily make out that this was a depressing story about a young man who in the end became what he hated yet still pushed through.

Yes, the story was Code Geass, what could be do? He didn't remember many other mecha related series which weren't too much for the current world

"Adam-" Welt suddenly called his name as he was justifying his actions to himself "-Would you like to make the animation alongside me?"

"Wait? Really?" Adam suddenly looked at him as Welt nodded "Your ideas have given me a lot of inspiration and-" he took a deep breath "-I don't want Arahato to adjust like that, no. We'll make a new show in itself." Welt said as he stood up and clenched his fists

"MR.YANG!"

"ADAM!"

They both stood up as waves crashed in the background

"What in the actual hell?" Telsa said as she looked baffled alongside Lyle "Is that? I need a doctor." Lyle said as he saw and felt the waves somehow

"*Ahem*" Welt coughed as he straightened his clothes "Adam, Lyle. I've come here today is for a reason." Welt said as Tesla was looking at him with a smile that was not a smile

"You two-" he said as his temperament changed from a kind and old man to a kind and old man with authority "-Would you like to be my personal student?" He asked as Lyle and Adam were confused

"You met us today and you're making us your apprentices already." Lyle stated "Yeah, doesn't it seems kinda rushed?" Lyle asked as Adam nodded "You don't even know if we're trustworthy"

"Theresa recommended you two." Tesla told them as if it made everything make sense "Theresa won't recommend people that are untrustworthy and she has a very good judge of character." She told them

"Oh? Had she told you of our genius?" Lyle asked as he accidentally slipped into his true personality "She told me that the two she's sending are geniuses but they're troublemakers at the level of Kiana." She replied

"Eh? Kiana?" Lyle said as he couldn't remember who that was "The principal's second God daughter." Adam said "Oh!" Lyle suddenly realised as he then looked at Adam suspiciously

"Why do you know that?" He asked pointedly "Because they graduated last year." Adam stated as he threw away the image of the kind and soft spoken black and blue haired young. 'Lyle will never know it, he will not be allowed to know.'

"Uh-huh. I believe ya." Lyle said with a sly smile as Welt and Tesla looked at the two carefree guys, the former with a smile and the latter with exhaustion

"Why did we chose to take them as our students again?" Tesla looked at Welt "Because they made a machine of mass destruction to prove a point." Welt said

Yes, the two idiots that were messing around had actually made a weapon that manipulated the laws of physics itself on accident.

Adam: That was a lame line. Also, how the hell did I and Lyle even make a weapon of mass destruction?! We're literally strong in combat but average academically lore wise.

Author: My fic, my rules.

Adam: Rules are meant to be broken!

Author: Wait, where'd that bat come from?! Adam?! AHHH! DON'T HIT ME )
