Isaac Aaronax was focused on Shi Tian’s movement and action after saying he was heading out to prepare some training for him but was astonished to realize that there was a deeper secret he had discovered.
Originally, he thought Shi Tian had arrived at their Optic Mech on behalf of Heaven’s Mecha, using Yolanda’s death and feigning innocence to capture his attention and sympathy.
Thus, he decided to play along and pretended to be overly depressed to see what Shi Tian would do next, only to realize that Shi Tian didn’t have any plans to poach or request anything from him.
Of course, it could just be a ploy and Shi Tian was playing the slow game, but with this scene alone, Isaac Aaronax started to doubt whether his thought process was correct from the start.
Some reactions are hard to recreate even if one attempted their best to do so, and with his keen eyes as a mechanic, Isaac Aaronax could discern that Shi Tian was truly surprised by the class’s information.
‘Just what could be his identity to not know something so basic?’ Isaac Aaronax wondered silently.
Though a few minutes later, he shook his head and decided it was pointless to know his origin. All he needed to know was that he didn’t come here with bad intentions.
Sometime later, Isaac Aaronax organized a few documents and compiled them into a file, leaving the room and heading toward the B-3 room.
“It seems like you have been overloaded with the information recorded here,” Isaac Aaronax chuckled softly the moment he entered the B-3 room.
Shi Tian remained composed despite being slightly shocked by his quiet entrance.
‘His movements were nimble and quiet… I couldn’t even detect his presence until he made a sound.’ Shi Tian exclaimed inwardly, feeling numb by the ability of all these people.
First, it was the hidden shadow figures within Optic Mech that appeared out of nowhere to apprehend a foolish customer, and now even the Mechanist Isaac Aaronax contained more abilities than shown on the surface.
“Knowledge is something one can never say is enough, so I was just hoping to broaden my vision a bit and somehow overloaded myself slightly.” Shi Tian smiled briefly, coming up with an excuse rather quickly.
“I see…” Isaac Aaronax nodded his head, glancing at the files that were hovered around Shi Tian.
“Then have you read something fascinating within these files?” He then asked, seemingly curious about his founding.
Although Shi Tian showed zero reaction on the surface, he was inwardly dumbfounded. The question might not seem much at first glance, but upon deeper contemplation, the question seemed to be a test of some sort, almost as if Issac Aaronax was trying to gauge his knowledge.
“Was my question too difficult?” Isaac Aaronax subsequently asked when he realized Shi Tian was remaining silent.
“Of course not, it’s just that I have read quite a bit, and being asked suddenly caused me to ponder for a while.” Shi Tian quickly laughed it off.
“Since that’s the case, then let’s just forget it for now. Previously, I was astonished by your talent in synchronizing with the Mechanical Right Arm, so now I have improvised the training.”
“I shall thank you on behalf of your effort for me, Master Isaac.”
“You can thank me by doing your best. My training isn’t something simple and not many people could even endure for a few minutes.” Isaac Aaronax laughed heartily, turning around and walking in another direction.
Once his back was turned to Shi Tian, his eyes squinted a bit, realizing his identity seemed to be at risk now.
‘Master Isaac might not have said it outright, but his action and speech seemed to hold double meaning every time.’ Shi Tian thought to himself.
The only good part was that he didn’t feel any bad vibes coming from Isaac Aaronax, reassuring him that although his identity might be questionable, it wasn’t enough for Isaac Aaronax to try to harm him.
A few minutes later, Shi Tian arrived at a spacious room with nothing much. It was merely a spacious room without any form of training equipment whatsoever.
Nevertheless, he decided to keep his curiosity to himself and not ask any questions. There must have been a reason for Isaac Aaronax to bring him to this room, so it was better to not just jump the gun.
During this time, Isaac Aaronax quietly observed Shi Tian’s reaction and was pleased to see that he didn’t have any questions.
“Normally, when I first bring people over to this spacious room, they would always ask me what to do here. After all, there is no equipment being laid out compared to the other rooms, but it seems like your patience is quite decent.” Isaac Aaronax praised, his expression a bit joyous, seemingly being reminded of the past fondly.
Meanwhile, Shi Tian scratched his head in response, not knowing what else to say. His patience had always been high when he had to take care of Sheng Lan.
“The room might seem empty, but we are already stepping in a formation.” Isaac Aaronax suddenly said, snapping his finger and the room started to tremble slightly.
The floor beneath them illuminated, and Shi Tian could feel the vibration of the room, almost as if the interior of the room was being altered at this very moment.
Unfortunately, the illumination had become too bright for the naked eye to handle, so Shi Tian was forced to shut his eye and use his right arm to block the light.
While Shi Tian was struggling to handle the changes, Isaac Aaronax remained nonchalant as he maneuvered his fingers, creating some sort of hand signal or symbol.
Soon, the floor began to elevate, and Shi Tian could feel that they were being lifted upward.
A few minutes later, Isaac Aaronax calmly told Shi Tian that he could open his eyes again.
“This is a formation room structured to design raiding, meaning you will fight with an opponent that progressively gets stronger. Are you confident in yourself, Nathan?” Isaac Aaronax flashed a smile that seemed to hide many emotions.
