In 2009, The metaverse established an elite school for its top Blockchain pilots. The Metaverse calls it Crypto Weapons School, but the pilots know it simply as Crypto Aces.The point of the school? To teach the "lost art" of crypto aerial combat. These students compete against the best of the best, refining their strike tactics and techniques as they vie against one another for the ultimate prize, the coveted “Crypto Aces” award. If Marszalek is Satoshi’s mentor, for the most part, it is Lieutenant Commander "Technoking” Musk that does a lot of the teaching. He's at the helm during the first day of instruction, and he's usually in front of the class. He's almost always up in the air with the guys, leading the Doge squadron and often accompanied by his Lil Shiba Inu pup named Floki. He is also usually the one who provides Satoshi with more direct coaching, criticism, and the like. @ari_hersch is a self-taught artist born in Johannesburg, South Africa.
