Chapter 112: QandA
Axelius was sitting cross-legged, holding a stick, and pointing at one of Owen’s neat drawings that showed a sports car with lines and arrows.
"This model right here has better acceleration," he said seriously, tapping the paper. "It’s lightweight, has a strong engine setup, and comes with dual-clutch transmission. You shift fast, no delay."
Ellory sat beside him, wearing her glasses again, holding a drawing of a different car. "Yes, but this one has smoother handling," she replied with a firm voice. "You don’t need too much power if you can control the road. It’s better for corners, and the suspension is more balanced."
Axelius raised an eyebrow. "It’s slower."
Ellory shot back, "It lasts longer. Easier to fix. You can mod it easily. There are so many parts you can change and upgrade by yourself."
"That’s only fun for people who like working in a garage," Axelius said with a small smirk. "My pick is already complete. It’s not something you build up. It’s something you unleash."
Ellory rolled her eyes. "But yours overheats faster. You need special parts just to keep it running."
Axelius shrugged. "That’s the point. It’s made for speed, not daily roads. Mine beats yours in track performance, top speed, even aerodynamics."
Ellory shook her head and pointed at her drawing again. "But mine beats yours in comfort, fuel efficiency, city driving, and tuning options. You can make it into anything. Street, track, even rally."
Owen sighed from the book pile. "You two sound like engineers arguing in a car shop."
Axelius grinned, proud. "We’re planning the future."
