Being a mecha pilot is one of the most enviable jobs in society, easily ranking among the top three titles. When Abel successfully passed the entrance exams for the mecha academy, he became the object of the greatest envy among his relatives and friends. It was a foregone conclusion that he would rise above ordinary mortals and become a prominent figure in high society.
