Reboot: Mechanic

Chapter 52 Apprentice

With Isaac Aaronax calling it an end for the first lesson, Shi Tian could only cup his fist in respect.

The first lesson might not seem valuable at first glance since he technically got thrashed thoroughly by the robot, but Shi Tian knew this was the most valuable lesson he had learned since awakening.

What Isaac Aaronax taught him wasn't some fighting ability to confront an opponent, but strategy and theory that could assist him.

Since the start, Shi Tian knew his talent wasn't based on direct combat fighting or manipulation of magicule. After all, he had never sensed magicule nor did he know they existed until he had read about them in the files contained in room B-3.

As for the direct combat fighting part, he had already known how pathetic he was when facing multiple Armored Rat. Thus, the only viable class left for him was Mechanic, adding to the fact that he had studied Mechanism in the past, his starting point in this class would be far easier than the rest.

"Master Isaac is going to teach me the basic mechanics tomorrow, so I should use this chance to study my mechanical right arm." Shi Tian murmured once he saw Isaac Aaronax leaving the training facility, clutching his right hand repeatedly.

The training facility only had his presence alone, and it was clear that Isaac Aaronax didn't mind letting Shi Tian use the facility by himself despite ending their lesson.

This was the so-called after-study back in the days when students got off school and still wished to educate themselves.

Although it's supposed to be after study, Shi Tian doesn't have much experience in how to actually train himself, especially for the mechanic class. Thus, he decided to do some basic exercises such as push-ups, curl-ups, and running around in a circle to get his body in shape.

He was hoping that such exercises could increase his stamina stat points, considering how he had nearly exhausted himself twice already.

After exercising for nearly an hour, Shi Tian was panting heavily, sweat trickling down his forehead as it dripped on the floor.

Despite being out of breath, there was a hint of bliss in his expression as he glanced at the holographic status screen.

At first glance, the stats don't seem to have changed much, but with his keen eyes, Shi Tian detected his stamina had actually risen by 2 points. It was originally at 35, but now it was saying 37 which means that exercising his body is in fact, a training that could increase his stats points.

And with such discovery, Shi Tian began to ponder whether his other attribute points could also be increased if he did some other form of training.

As the saying goes, there was always a check and balance in things, so if stamina points could be increased, then by logic, his attribute points could also enjoy such benefits.

"If I keep working hard, then even the description regarding me will alter." Shi Tian smiled briefly, glancing at the supposed "Grade" that no longer labeled him as beyond trash.

Although he didn't know what the grade was supposed to stand for, he could subtly tell it had something to do with his current ability.

Shi Tian glanced at the screen for another few minutes before closing it. Right now was not the time for him to be worried about those descriptions that had no meaning aside from trying to hurt his dignity.

Sometime later, Shi Tian retrieved a towel to wipe off the sweat on his forehead before cleaning the facility.

While he was cleaning, the door from outside opened.

"Oh, Nathan, you are here?"

A familiar female voice echoed from behind, prompting Shi Tian to stop his cleaning temporarily and turned around. contemporary romance

"Hello, Receptionist Mary." Shi Tian politely greeted her when he realized the person who entered was the Receptionist Mary. She had assisted him greatly and didn't look down on him due to his shabby appearance, so Shi Tian was quite polite toward her.

"You can just call me Mary and drop the receptionist." Mary smiled briefly as she glanced around the facility, seemingly searching for something or someone.

"If you want to find Master Isaac, then I think he already returned to his workshop." Shi Tian said when he realized she was looking left and right.

"Master Isaac?" Mary's brows were raised, clearly in confusion by the form of addressing. After all, it would have been more appropriate to refer to Isaac Aaronax as Mechanist Isaac if one wished to address him.

"Yeah, some things happen and now I have regarded him as Master." Shi Tian scratched his head and gave a brief explanation.

Upon hearing the explanation, Mary clasped her hand and seemed to have understood why Shi Tian was in the training facility even though it was off-limits to an outsider.

"No wonder why… I was confused as to why you were here when I heard sounds coming from here. I thought it was Mechanist Isaac practicing some of his newest gadgets again." Mary laughed.

And she continued, "So you are now an apprentice of Mechanist Isaac. I must say, you are quite lucky because Mechanist Isaac rarely ever takes an interest in teaching someone. There was only one person that had caught his eye, but that person didn't like the mechanic class."

"Could that person be Yolanda?" Shi Tian suddenly asked after pondering for a while.
