Chapter 821: Exercising Leadership

Runs about 13 minutes — one of 7,617 narrated chapters on Arcwave.

Ves Larkinson grows up at the bottom of a galactic mech industry that grades engineers by lineage, not talent. The trade-school designer with a knack for "spirituality" — the unteachable feel that makes a custom mech click with its pilot — drags himself out of family disgrace into a star empire that will eventually have his name on the doctrine.
