They found a loophole.
At least they thought they found one.
When they studied the framework of the rules inside the Mission Hall, the four mech designers found a clever means to circumvent the restriction that multiple individuals could not concentrate their Ascension Points.
"The rules do not expressly forbid according to my interpretation." Gloriana spoke in a precise tone of voice. "It did not seem obvious at first, but now that we have drawn our attention to this dynamic, it looks far too much like a deliberate loophole than anything else. Perhaps this is the System's attempt at a teaching moment."
Ves nodded in agreement. He held the same idea. His repeated interactions with the Mech Designer System had long convinced him of the idea that it was anything but a rigid and inflexible tool. It possessed a strong degree of cunning and intelligence. What may seem coincidental to ordinary people was definitely deliberate in some way!
