Mastery

## Knight Mech Mastery I

* Host pilot: Ivan Barley
* Location: Chittering Cicada Star Sector
* Time: over fifty years ago
* Chapters: 247-249

Ves pointed out mech weak spots to Ivan Barley with great coordination. At the end Ves told Barley his name and to keep a lookout for Ves in the news of the Komodo Star Sector in fifty years.

### After the mastery experience

The heroic feats of a few exceptional pilots like Barley hardly affected the Domain's dire resource shortages. The downside of being surrounded by enemy states was that they could easily intercept their foreign shipments.

After being discharged from the Domain's armed forces, Barley started making his mark in the mercenary circles. That he managed to rise to the point of becoming a certified ace pilot (Lord Ivan Barley - Ace Mech Pilot - "The Discerning Eye"). While he worked in the private sector he showcased his determination to exceed his failings.

Barley and Ves worked so well together that Ves looked forward to meeting the mech pilot again(chapter 376). Barley has been missing in action since 8 years ago(chapter 250).

## Rifleman Mech Mastery I

* Host pilot: Alven Callisto
* Location: Rilrod, a planet ruled by the Holy Dominion of Apellix, a third-rate state from the Rolling Wind Star Sector
* Time: twenty-five years ago
* Chapters: 377-380

### After the mastery experience

Long after Alven perished on Rilrod, the loyalists obtained a lot of outside help that repelled the rebels from deposing the Sunstar Dynasty and erect another holy leader to helm the third-rate state. In the end, Alven got his wish, and the Sunstar Dynasty still stood standing, although they paid a heavy price to hang on to their current position of power.

Ves failed to uncover any traces of Alven. He'd been an average pilot before Ves entered the mech pilot's mind, and did not live long enough to make a lasting impact.

## Space Knight Mech Mastery I

* Host pilot: Eloise Pelican
* Location: Silent Nomad Star Sector
* Time: thirty to forty years in the past
* Chapters: 1079-1084

Ves saw the apotheosis of Venerable Eloise Pelican and subsequently the rare state of Unity of Man and Machine she evoked(chapter 1834).
Eloise Pelican originally did not possess the spirituality required to develop a force of will. Without an empowered force of will, there was no way for her to advance straight to expert pilot. At the end of the mastery experience, Eloise reconises the presence of Ves, who answers that he is just a mech designer.

### After the mastery experience

Venerable Pelican not only lived to this very day, but she had also become the figurehead of a huge insurgency. The insurgents that followed her banner aimed to reform the disparate powers of the Silent Nomad Star Sector into a single unified state(chapter 1085)! Ves gained the option of reconnecting with the host of his Mastery experience, but set aside any notion of contacting Venerable Pelican.

## Hero Mech Mastery I

* Host pilot: Axelar Streon
* Location: Greater Terran Confederation
* Time: Ninety years ago(chapter 1168)
* Chapters: 1149-1168

Ves forces a mech duel and designs the Ouroboros for it. Additionally, he enters Axelar Streon into an intense training regime, the Trail of Tears.

### After the mastery experience

At some point Axelar Streon rose to Expert canditate, then to Expert Pilot, and at some point to Ace Pilot and to the rank of General. He is expected to reach the rank of God Pilot in 200 more years, because of using the Ouroboros Ves designed. Axelar Streon is also known as the Hero of New Terra. Axelor Streon has claimed to have designed the original Ouroboros himself.

Ves started to misname his advisor Gavin as Benny as a reminder of this experience.

## Light Skirmisher Mech Mastery I

* Host pilot: Rion Aaden
* Location: Smiling Samuel Star Sector
* Time: at least seventy years in the past(chapter 1920)
* Chapters: 1918-1939

Ves aids in a dwarven rebellion by creating the identity of the god Vulcan and hides Timpala Steel for his Supply Mission.

### After the mastery experience

The Vulcan Faith and Vulcan Empire spread throughout the Smiling Samuel Star Sector displacing humans and creating a safe space for dwarves.

## Expert Heavy Artillery Mech Mastery

* Host pilot: Irene Mox
* Location: Treading Drum Star Sector
* Time: year 197 Age of Mechs, over 200 years before
* Chapters: 4906-4925

Irene served as an expert mech pilot in the war between the Bontue Republic and her Quillim Principality in the Terrace War, though it was a proxy war for the Terrans and Rubathans respectively. With her Iron Hedgehog she bombarded heavily fortified positions on an enemy planet with her 8 gauss and 8 howitzer cannons. Ves aided her in escaping the enemy's ambush and gave her a companion spirit named Emma while only showing himself as Blinky.

### After the mastery experience

Irene Mox later became a god pilot withe the moniker "Destroyer of Worlds" likely with her mech the Ragnarok. She first joined the Rubarthans and later the MTA, where she is active to this day for the Rubarthan faction and protects the human border against aliens.
