26 Squad 13 5 (1/2)
Second years have squad and general lessons.
General lessons covered the basic theories. All the second years would be gathered in class to listen together.
Kuro and Han sat next to each other. They could spot the other new transferees from other squads on desks further away.
”There's Dimitri.”
Kuro whispered. Dimitri was very tall. He stood out even from a far distance.
”Now, let's start class.”
An unfamiliar teacher said while walking in. Hologram screens lit up all around the room.
”Today we will go over the common werewolf minion monsters that travel by land.”
A werewolf of gray fur appeared on the screens. Han and Kuro's eyes grew wide. It was their first time directly seeing the minion forms like this.
”They are about two to three meters tall. Rarely, you can come across one that grows to be four meters tall. They have high agility and fast recovery, so it is impossible to defeat them with light damage weapons. They do not have much intelligence, but are natural born hunters, and so move in a tactical way.
”Do silver weapons work against them?”
Someone jokingly asked. The youths of the class laughed. The teacher shrugged his shoulder.
”It is possible to slow down their recovery with silver, but the end results are negligible. The easiest way to stop their self recovery is by firebombs.”
The teacher continued his lessons on werewolves. He explained basic tactics against them and their natural habits.
Minion is the generic name for the basic mob soldiers that are controlled by the dragon race. They heed the dragons' commands.
”The only minions with intelligence are of the Elu race.”
”Elf?”
Kuro mumbled.
The screen projected someone who looked no different than humans. It was just that their ears were pointed, their bodies skinny, and the sclera of their eyes had no irises to them.
Their overall appearance gave a chilling feeling.
”The Elu race act as mid commanders from within the dragon army. The dragons do not personally command every mob, the mid commanders are in charge of taking care of the minor commands.”
”Teacher, since they're able to use psychic skills, does that mean normal physical weapons do not work against them as well?”

”That is a good question. Look at this.”
The teacher played a video clip. The image quality was poor, but it was a clip of the Elus and human soldiers fighting.
They were armed with heavy weapons that exploded out flames. They opened fire and each attack made a huge hole in the ground. In the midst of the bombardment was a single Elu who had summoned a psychic shield.
”Elus are able to resist general weapons like dragons. However, they do not have an infinite amount of psychic energy like the dragons. Watch what happens to them when they run out of psychic energy.”
The Elu who had not been able to continue resisting for a long period, got blown up into tiny pieces by the bombing.
It was a horrifying clip. Its organs and blood had been spewed out everywhere. Kuro covered his mouth to resist throwing up. Lessons ended. Han and Kuro's data bracelets vibrated with an order of squad seven to assemble. They were ordered to come to the shooting range.
”Allied Forces, Demian Jeshik, R-2 gun.”
Han and Kuro were handed out their own gun. It was made of cold metals; Han could feel his heart calming down.
”This would be useless against dragons, but they are still useful against minions,” Kato said.
Kato called a fellow squad member and trained Kuro and Han individually.
”Shoulder your gun; your shoulder and arms are your support. You won't be able to hit anything if you shake.”
Han was able to shoot the center point with his gun several times. This was his first time shooting a gun, and 18 out of the 20 shots had been a successful shot.
'Han has better focus. On the other hand….'
Kuro's shots were a mess. He could not breathe properly and his body continued to tremble. The muzzle of his gun kept rising up and down, while trembling.
