60 Inspection 4 (1/2)

The next day, Canute Meyer returned to Squad 13. The only person who had yet to recover was Kijo who had injured his lungs and had to remain for long term treatment. Canute was feeling good finally being free from the hospital.

”Ah, aah. I thought I was going to die. It's never fun no matter how many times I get hospitalized.”

Canute had been hospitalized the most amongst everyone in Squad 13. Canute was Squad 13's main vanguard and was the member most prone to injury.

Each squad has a member like Canute.

”You've worked hard.”

Jose bumped fists with Canute.

”Canute, catch.”

Kuro threw him a cola. Of all the carbonated drinks, Canute loved cola the most.

”Thanks, Kuro. I'm done with hospital food.”

Canute chugged down his cola. The carbonation woke up his senses. He threw the can in the trash. He quickly organized his room that he left vacant for a while before returning to training with his squad.

Han whispered quietly to Canute's ears before entering the training ground.

”Avoid talking with the inspectors. These were orders from the commander.”

”I had been generally informed. The mood at the hospital ward was chaotic as well.”

Canute nodded. Han had no worries when it came to Canute. Among Squad 13, Canute had good judgment and was one of the most brilliant among Squad 13's members. He was not the type to accidentally have a slip of tongue or be easily swayed by lies.

Han checked the status of the training ground and lead his squad in. Other than the required training drills and lectures, it was up to the squad leader to cater training drills for his squad members. Each squad leader would make a training schedule and report it with the drill instructors, who would then assign the squads to the appropriate training grounds.

”For the time being, we will focus on self improvement since there will not be any squad battles for a short duration.”

Han alloted most of the time for marksmanship training and sparring. The squad members nodded.

Han was, by far, the best squad leader among the second years. He had superior commanding ability and excelled in many aspects personally. Even if the squad members were to make a mistake, he never raged and logically went over the mistakes in a calm manner.

He maintained a strong bond with his squad members, all the while, he did not let his emotions affect his role. He never let go of the dignity of a squad leader.

”Please check for your daily task through your data bracelets, I've sent them out already. You can read through them later. If you have any questions or if you think something should be changed, look for me later.”

Squad 13 borrowed the military training ground. These grounds were used when a vast open space was needed like when training one's stamina. Han decided to focus training with Kuro for the time being. He focused on weapon handling and sparring with Kuro.

”I'll attack from the right. Block.”

Han quickly swung his spear. Kuro quickly blocked with his spear.

'Now, Kuro is doing well with blocking.'

Han increased his attack speed. He attacked with his spear with more strength. His spear dug into his palms.

KEEEE!

Kuro's eyes glowed blue. His immediate foresight was reacting to Han's killing intent.

Tak!

Kuro cleanly blocked the attack. Kuro was able to read Han's attacking direction through his immediate foresight.

He was able to block using minimal movements. If he became proficient using this skill during battle, his battle prowess would increase swiftly.

'He can now easily block simple attacks.'

Han started attacking in more more complex patterns. He swung his spear in random directions and caused chaos. Immediate foresight didn't make a person invincible.

'All skills are bound to have a weakness of some sort. A concept such as perfection or an invincible power does not exist. We simply try to perfect it to the best of our ability.'

Han switched up his attacks every so often. It was difficult to figure out the speed and direction because of his complex arm movements. Kuro was taken aback and took a hit to his leg. He lost his posture and tripped onto the floor.

”Ouch.”

Kuro looked like he wanted to cry from the blow. There was a giant bruise on his leg. Han took a moment to catch his breath and stood in front of Kuro. Han helped Kuro up and spoke.

”If you are going to use your immediate foresight, you should quickly block and follow up with an attack. Do you think your immediate foresight will be able to prevent all attacks at once?”

Jose who stood next to the two scratched his head.

'He usually blocks them all. Not many people can find fault in him and land an attack. You did it against Silence as well, but not many people can immediately grasp onto weaknesses as quickly as you.'

Jose thought while watching the two spar. Theoretically, this was easy, but not many people could actually do so while in the middle of battle.

”Whenever I think of attacking, my hand shakes…”

Kuro said with his head drooped. Han spun his spear round and round.

”Why? Are you worried I might get hit? One more time. This time, try to attack me.”

Han didn't like to back a person into a corner. He hated it even more so that it had been Kuro. However, he forced himself to back Kuro into a corner.
