Chapter 47: Battle Runes

We were all studying how to use our abilities in different ways to improve our battle powers. It can be said that it is the most relaxing session of the day.

We kept studying even during the 30 mins break we had before the battle techniques class. our abilities will be very useful in battle if we practice them in this session.

I was very impressed by the methods I can use for my fire ability. Sadly I can't study them all in a few days. It might take weeks to study all of its uses and to practice them to perfection, it might take months.

I was up for the challenge and studied it with full concentration. We have to use every bit of resource provided to us by the guild to become powerful.

The battle techniques class started after the break. I was eager to learn the techniques that will help me to fight monsters and hunt them down easily.

We went to the class and were greeted by a 35-year-old woman. She was fair and she had her hair cut like men. She had a warm smile on her face and welcomed us inside the training room.

The training room was small but had a few crystals on a nearby shelf. These crystals are white and neatly arranged. These crystals were full of dust as if they were not touched for more than a decade.

These crystals are low-level "Battle Rune" crystals. These crystals each have a special power in them. When a person holds it in his/her hand a for few minutes, it will draw a battle rune in their source which will increase the battle power ten times than previous power.

The battle power will increase by ten times if the crystal is compatible with the person holding it. If it is not compatible, it will give a lesser battle power to the person. But people are dumb always choosing what they want instead of choosing what they are compatible with.

When we were watching the crystals without realizing ourselves, we saw a few crystals start to glow. It means we are compatible with the special powers that are present inside the crystals. At least one of us is.

"Once you guys complete the training successfully, you can get the powers from the crystals. These are just low-tier crystals. You can get high-level crystals if you get more points when you complete the training" the trainer said.

We are now more interested in completing the training. The final assessment will decide who will get to choose which level tier we can get.

The battle techniques training started with more energy than the rest of the training. We were very eager to learn the techniques already. The crystals made us even more eager to complete the training.

The techniques were thought by practicing. First, we thought about a certain technique and then we will train them on our own. Our training went smoothly on the first day.

We learned more about the techniques and about how to use our abilities to the fullest till now. After this, we will have our combat training. This is what we are waiting for now as we want to test what we have learned for the day.

After the battle techniques training was over, we took 30 minutes break as we were exhausted during the training. We didn't know that the battle techniques will drain our power so quickly.

We were just practicing for 15 minutes before the first trainee fell on the ground due to exhaustion. By the end of the training session, not one of us was standing as we were all exhausted and couldn't stand.

We drank recovery potions provided by the guild before going to the combat training session after 30 minutes.

I was shocked to see the trainer when he opened the door to the combat training room. It was Hoger. He smiled at us when he opened the door.

When we entered, Hoger held my hand. "I think you forgot to collect this when you were in skill training". He said.

I checked my holo watch and found it is the wind ability file. With this, I can learn how to use my wind ability to the fullest. I was shocked as no one else knows about my second ability.

I have not mentioned it even to Kim or Kamran. It was a shock. Hoger just smiled at me and motioned for me to get inside the training room.

In combat training, we will be fighting opponents and get trained to fight against the people or monsters more powerful than us and win.

We saw a few robots standing in the corner of the training room. Their appearance looked like monsters, but they were all bipedal. They even had weapons to fight us.

We were confused as we are not going to fight bipedal monsters as there are none. If these robots are humanoids with no faces like in military training, we would have not felt confused.

"These are robots who have high defense and even a normal master sergeant stage person can't fight and win. You will pass this training when you can defeat these robots without taking heavy injuries. That is the power of the elites" said Hoger.

We all know that the power difference between each stage is massive and if a master sergeant can't defeat them, how can five people of the corporal stage defeat them?

"You all will fight one robot for now until you will be able to defeat it with ease" Hoger said and used his holo watch to activate one of the robots.

Out of the six trainees, I am ybe only archer and long-range combatant. Others are all close-range fighters. We tried to take positions that will favor our strengths and cover our weaknesses.

We began fighting the robot when it started to attack us with the large wooden war hammer it had in its hand. We hesitated to attack first as it is stronger than the six of us combined.

In the next second, the robot was near the first trainee and slammed its wooden hammer on his head. He was able to dodge it barely by rolling to his right side.
