Ves became thoroughly impressed by Kalister Devos.
Although his spirituality was much more average compared to a natural talent like Klaus Robar-Fulton, the former member of the Devos Ancient Clan not only possessed a considerably stronger foundation in mech design, but also pursued a strong vision.
Ves really could not fully wrap his head around the concept of a living mech that always followed the exact same growth trajectory no matter the circumstances.
The mere idea of it completely contradicted several important principles of Ves' design philosophy!
However, this was why Ves developed an enormous appreciation for Kalister.
The young Apprentice not only demonstrated courage in defying the pattern set by his teacher, but also proved his willingness to dedicate his career to an idea that might not work as well as he hoped.
Aside from that, when Kalister showed off his portfolio of mech designs and fabricated mechs, he also showcased another advantage.
