Chapter 43: A bloody lesson

“My name is Josef, and I will be your teacher for the Military Tactics Class.”

Vice-Captain Josef’s voice echoed through the auditorium, and all the cadets paid full attention. Although his aura seemed weaker than that of Wink and Razmun, its ferocity was something he could only gain on the battlefield.

“The Imperial Military Force works in military units. These are similar to the Old World, but those at higher ranks not only reached that level due to merits but also brute power.”

Although the idea of granting military ranks according to brute power might seem idiotic in the Old World, even the cadets could understand the reasoning behind that.

As humans advance in cultivation, it’s not only their bodies and destructive power that grow stronger. Their cognitive ability and speed of thought also improve.

There are indeed cases of people with an innate talent for warfare, but most of the time, those with experience and greater intelligence create better plans.

Not to mention that a Wave Warrior would find it very hard to give order to a Wave Champion, especially once they are far from the domains of the Godslayer Humankind Empire, and the rules are harder to discern.

.....

Following that short description, the virtual screen above Vice-Captain Josef showed different military units and the different roles available such as combat, engineering, medical, and more.

Josef was diligent, accurately describing how all those moving parts work together and sharing his experiences in the army.

All that information was monotone and, unlike Wave Mastery and Dark Race Assassination, failed to make the cadets’ blood burn. However, Cain and many others were paying full attention, as they understood that information could save their lives and help them understand their roles once they entered the battlefield.

Once that part of the class was over, the virtual screen above Vice-Captain Josef changed.

“When it comes to the battlefield where Wave Champions participate, Wave Warriors beneath Level 4 would only be sending themselves to their death if they step in. That is especially true for those that follow the Essence Evolution Path of Power, as the shock waves would be more than enough to harm your bodies.”

Soon the cadets saw the picture of what seemed to be a futuristic rifle on the virtual screen.

“That is why those at Level 3 and beneath who take a combat role will use these Wave Rifles. It is a very common and practical Wave Artifact used by the Imperial Military Force. It has a power cell that can be charged with Wave and fire a very concentrated energy beam. They have no recoil and can fire up to dozens of shoots per minute.”

The virtual screen soon showed the cadets the Wave Rifles’ power. It did not take more than five shots to blast a large tree to pieces, and a dozen of them could destroy an Old World building in less than a minute.

However, those with good battle awareness soon realized the grave problems with the Wave Rifles.

“As some of you might already notice, there are flaws in the Wave Rifles. The attack pattern is too rigid and depends too much on the soldier’s aim and speed of thought. They have limited use against a battalion of Level 5 Wave Warriors.”

A smile appeared on Cain’s face as he saw the Wave Rifle. It was the same weapon Cain’s father used during his time in the military.

“Cannon fooder’s weapon.” A youth sitting next to Zamir and Lumir uttered those words as he saw the Wave Riffle. He spoke in a low voice, but everybody could hear him due to the auditorium’s silence.

There was a smile on the youth’s face as he did not care that the other would know his thoughts. It made sense since many among the scions saw soldiers that used Wave Rifles that way.

Cain’s eyes widened when he heard that, and his blood began to burn as his Astral Wave burst.

Levi and Beelze were surprised by Cain’s reaction. Although the duo felt the scion’s commentary disgusting, their response was far from reaching Cain’s level.

The reaction was a combination due to Cain’s rage and his bloodline’s emotional instability. And, unlike in previous cases where it happened, the youth did not intend to control it and was ready to attack.

However, someone acted faster than Cain. The scion still smiled when someone appeared before him and slapped him with so much strength that it sent him flying into a wall.

All the cadets were shocked as they saw the unconscious cadet bleeding on the ground. Luckily the scion was a Level 2 Astral Wave Warrior, or else that slap would have shattered his skull.

Fear appeared in the eyes of the cadets as they turned to the responsible for such a ferocious attack, Vice-Captain Josef.

“May this be a lesson for all of your brats. Anyone that dares to mock my brothers and sisters who risk their lives for the safety of the Godslayer Humankind will pay the price. And next time, I will not be so merciful.”
