"Yes, The MegaMorpher can get taller. I have designs for mechas that are 230 meters tall. Why do you ask? This particular MegaMorpher is 70 meters tall. Is it not enough?" Rune Mecha cards were my newfound passion. And I was not planning on stopping experimenting on them with just the Beast Mechas and MegaMorphers. I had other designs planned. And once the deal with the royal family was set, I was planning to introduce various models of mechas to Luna for her army. Since she brought it up, I did not mind sharing the designs earlier than planned.

"Remember how we scrutinized the MechaMorpher earlier for some classified case file which we could not share with you? We have decided that we want to use the MechaMorpher for that case. But here's the thing for that particular case, we require a taller and stronger MechaMorpher." Luna's explanation was vague as the sensitive nature of the secret limited the information that she could reveal.

"You have to be more specific than that. How tall do you want the mechas to be? Because Synonium alloy is strong but using it at maximum, I can only build a 75-meters tall mecha. And what do you mean by stronger mecha? Do you mean the power of the mecha is not enough, or do you have an issue with the structural strength of the Mecha? Which is it? If the problem is with the structural stability of the mecha, then I need to know what kind of terrain you will use these mechas on.

These Mecha cards right here are made for land and Aerial combat. They will do fine in shallow waters too. But I cannot make any guarantees about underwater warfare. Since these cards were just for the demonstration, I did not waste my time adding extra features." When creating the beast mecha cards, I was worried that the temporary forces of the southern watch would arrive and secure the Clown Mask.

So in order to save time, I skipped many features of the beast mechas, which would not be necessary in times of Land and Aerial Warfare. Since these cards were meant just for the demonstration purpose, I focussed more on how much combat power they can showcase rather than how they can strive in harsh terrains. I did not regret my decision as my plan to turn Clown mask into a subordinate was successful.

And also, I was pretty curious about the classified information that even the southern emperor Anna did not have the right to reveal. Therefore I listed a number of reasons why to show Luna that without the necessary information, I could not be of much help to them in modifying the MegaMorpgher for whatever secret mission they planned to use it on. My plan was pretty simple: list as many excuses and reasons until the cousins are forced into revealing the classified info to me.

"Well, you do not need to worry about the terrain conditions. We already have an ore in mind, which you can use to build the modified mecha according to our needs. If I provide you with the ore, how long will it take for you to determine what the maximum height of the mecha built with the said ore will be? " Luna, however, seemed to be adamant about not revealing even a word about the top-secret case.

"Well, a few minutes. If you have the ore on you right now, I can tell you the answer right away. Do you have the ore on you right now?" I did not want to seem like I was prying on the secret information I was asked not to put my nose in.

"No, I don't" Luna replied dejectedly.

" Luna, you said you knew how to prepare the memirconium ore, right. Why don't you whip a batch right now?" When it came to the talk about the Classified secret, Anna chose to let Luna and Lorenzo do all the talking because she read somewhere keeping secrets at the start of a new relationship is bad for the relationship in the long run. She did not want to jeopardize the bidding relationship between Wyatt and her, so she chose to stand back during the discussion of the classified information.

"... Right now! But I don't have the required ingredients or the equipment for producing the ore. I would have to go back to my lab at the university for that. It would be a lot easier if we just bought the ore. " standing in the SS-rank gate dungeon, Luna did not expect her cousin to make such a brazen demand to whip up a batch of artificial ore.

"Not here cousin, we can go back to Sky blossom city and buy all the ingredients and equipment you require. Then you can create a batch of fresh artificial Memirconium ore." Hearing Luna's response, Anna's face had a devilish smile on it as she once again proposed that Luna should prepare the artificial ore herself.

"That's just crazy. Instead of buying the resources and equipment and wasting hours to create the ore, why not just buy the ore?" Luna made a valid point.

"Wouldn't it be better if you made the ore? That way, we can be sure about the quality of the material we get. Lorenzo, use your teleportation card and take us back to the Sky blossom city." Anna started to sound deliberate. Obviously, she had ulterior motives for asking Luna to create the ore in the lad instead of just buying it.

"Are you high? Don't you understand what I am saying?" Luna grew impatient

"Ah-ha, I knew it. You do not know how to create the ore artificially. Now, who has a brain which cannot understand the procedure to create the ore." Anna seems to have not forgotten or forgiven Luna for belittling her intellect earlier.

" How can you be so petty? Yes, I do not know the procedure to create the ore artificially. I was going through the material on developing the artificial Memirconium ore, but I was interrupted by grandfather's call informing me that somebody had successfully discovered an item to help mortals cultivate their Active soul control. So I left everything then and headed here. " Luna explained why she did not know the procedure to create the ore artificially. But it did not seem to matter to Anna as she continued to laugh, feeling triumphant.

"Hehehe" Anna knew telltale signs of her cousin Luna. So the moment Luna rejected the idea of creating the ore themselves, Anna knew Luna was hiding something.
