A degraded janitor awakens a mythic mecha and his own SSS-rank talent during a rigged aptitude test.
Leo endures daily degradation scrubbing floors in the Lower City, forced to crawl beneath a tormentor simply to sit for the psychic aptitude exam. The instant his palm meets the testing crystal, a blinding column of light shatters the ceiling and Thunderbolt, a mecha silent for years, roars back to life while every surrounding unit drops to one knee in submission. The system confirms an SSS-rank gift buried inside the boy everyone stepped on, flipping the script on a society built on kneeling.
