Key Lines from Episode 3

“Chloe, I swear I synced with every mech in the hall. I even activated Thunderbolt. I'm not lying!”

Leo · Leo tries to convince Chloe after Derek accuses him of making up stories.

“Do you know how much my family spent on my training? You couldn't earn that in ten lifetimes! My A-rank talent cost a fortune. What are you? How could you ever compete with me?”

Derek · Derek brags about his wealth while putting down Leo in the mech hall.

“So money makes you special? Your family paid for everything. Leo works with his own hands for tuition. What are you so proud of? Go pilot your mech and stop bullying him!”

Chloe · Chloe snaps back at Derek to defend Leo from his arrogant verbal attacks.

“Lily can be saved. If I get that scholarship, she can get treatment. Mom won't have to sell her blood anymore! I have to take that test!”

Leo · Leo reminds himself why he must qualify after hearing about the full scholarship.
