A new power block?

(Rodova Military Academy, Tactical Training Grounds, B-9)

The final class of the day after Practical Combat was 'Scouting, Movement, and Planning,' an Assassin Branch-exclusive course that Leo had to take alongside regular class students.

It was a 90% theoretical lecture with a few practical demonstrations conducted by Army Specialists—nothing too physically demanding, which was a relief, considering that nearly everyone who arrived for the lecture looked half-dead after enduring the first day of hellish training at the Rodova Military Academy.

On the first day, the Lieutenant conducting the class outlined the importance of mission planning and introduced three core rules that every assassin had to follow when preparing for an operation:

1. Scout

2. Verify

3. Plan

The first thumb rule—Scouting—was the foundation of every mission.
