YOU ARE AN IDIOT

It has been six days since I came to this world, I have read a lot of books to know about the history of this world, the current world affairs, the political situations and origins of calibers. 

Well, origin of calibers is still mysterious in this world, I managed to learn something else, this world has different realms and by different realms I mean some different dimensions but the ruler of all this dimension is one person who refers to himself as the KING. The KING holds absolute power among all and does not allow any revolution against him. 

 There are some viruses as well in this world, with the most dominant and dangerous being the deathodd virus. Gil had told me about this virus on my second day but I still had to learn more about these deathodds. 

This is the most unique virus of this world as the deathodds don't attack living beings but instead infect the dead bodies. Do they even come true to the definition of virus? Their host is already dead so how do they provide harm to living beings!? That's what I thought initially but soon found that they attack mostly when the host is alive and during the living does not provide any harm to host but just take shelter. After the host dies, they take control over the body and abuses it to their wish. 

On the Emerald nation this virus spread in a blast and to provide peace to its unfortunate victims we were sent to the Emerald nation in our previous mission. I guess this what Andre meant by mindless beasts. 

I also learnt that there are different stages of these deathodds. First one being the weakest the normal 'hybrid stage'. This is also the second name of deathodds as well. 

The hybrid stage consists of deathodds who took control over the organisms which had less intelligence. The second stage is simply called the 'advance' stage deathodds, the agent in this comprises of their host being an intelligent specie or a bit powerful specie. 

The third stage is the last stage of deathodds. It is called the 'spectacle' stage. These spectacles either comprise of human with special caliber or a living thing with special caliber. All of the stage's names of deathodds are in words of English language. 

Currently they are present in the other realm called the ABONDENED REALM. This realm was created to imprison the losers of the great war between humans and divine beings. 

There are many other species present in this world, the history of this world is filled with many magical species that were not present in our world so I am making a guess that we were sent to the future of another world to correct the time disturbance in our world because Chloeir did say that 'cause of all misfortunes' lies in here. 

I read Seth's journal again and again to find something new and to find about someone but could not as I had already read most of it on the first night and the remaining content did not have anything informative. 

I have learnt a whole lot about this world through the books, but I am not sure as to how much should I trust the content written in the books. 

There are cursed beings in this world there are divine beings in this world, there are many other species which possess intelligence other than humans, well not many of them but you have to use both hand's fingers to count them. 

I found that this world is also advanced in technology, with interstellar travels and modern weapons for mass destruction. 

.............. 

Hoover was looking at Auri who was busy sparring with Emma. They have been training together for six days. Wrist of Aurelius's was healed completely on the same day it was broken so it did not pose much problem, the real problem for Aurelius was not having his own Holy arm, well everybody also had their prototypes only, but Aurelius did not even have his prototype. Aurelius did not even have his Holy arm's prototype. 

Hoover was worried about his friend as he had to train with only a normal sword used by the soldiers in Space Patrol. Beside Hoover, Ellie was also looking at Aurelius who was visibly struggling to protect himself from Emma's attacks. 

"It's a shame he doesn't have his Holy arm!" Ellie said with worry. 

"Right! Even when he just learned about his power and how to utilize it just two days ago! Auri would be much more capable if only he had his sword!" 

Hoover also gave his opinion about Aurelius's situation. 

"Stop worrying about him and focus on your training!" Clawford interrupted their conversation. 

She continued after seeing the worried expressions on Norde's and Elizabeth faces. 

"When did you guys even become such good friends that now you even worry about each other!? Just a week ago you were at each other's throats." Clawford asked with a smile of curiosity. 

"Ma'am, what about his Holy arm?" 

"Yes, what happened to it!?" 

Norde and Elizabeth both ignored Clawford curious questions and asked simultaneously. 

"Don't worry! He will get it tomorrow before leaving for the mission, it might be the same Holy arm he had before, or it could be something similar." Clawford said it in a relaxing tone as if telling them to not worry about Seth would make them stop worrying about their best friend. 

"Now, start your training, you lazy cadets!" Clawford persuaded them with high enthusiasm to boast their spirits for training. 

................. 

Shit, I only learned about the way to utilize my power two days ago and also came with its name but why am I not getting my Holy arm back? It's been five days since it was sent for inspection. 

Look at how well Emma is using her prototype, if only I also had mine! 

Swish! clang! Clang! 

Sounds of swords colliding was heard repetitively as Emma and I constantly clashed our swords together. The white and black coloured training uniform always gets immensely dirty after each training session! And if the dust on the floor will not be cleaned it will be just dirtier. Emma covers herself with a black coat everytime we train, copying her every girl does the same in the training now, simply because this white t-shirt becomes see through after drenching in our sweat. They don't cover their pants because black pants are not see through no matter what. Boys do not care about that stuff, so we don't cover ourselves. 

Emma one day said to me that the designer of this uniform must be a pervert. 

The wooden floor of the training hall made nonstop screeching sounds with every step of the cadets. 

"You are not using your new move you used yesterday!?" Emma asked with a menacing smile on her face while pointing the edge of her sword in my direction. 

"You just want to see me getting embarrassed, don't you!?" I asked her while smiling with a frown. 

"It is not necessary that today's result will be the same as yesterday! Well, considering you it might be." Emma said while running towards me. 

"Oh, shut up!!" 

Our swords collided with each other. Her face was in front of me. Damn, she is really agile and strong. To match my height, she has to jump with almost every single strike if she wants to damage me, which she has been doing for past five days, damaging me more emotionally than physically if I say so. But it doesn't mean I am not capable of doing anything. I also learned some new moves using my caliber. 

The first move I learned was imitating Hoover's lightning-fast move, to use that I have to create and store an immense amount of firepower, I create immense amount of firepower by using ['--'one who creates flames] ability. To store my fire power, I use ['--'One who endured the deadly flames]. Then I have to choose my direction and last was to release that firepower. The explosion generated would give me a huge amount of speed like the speed of light. Normal laws do not work in this world because even after travelling at light speed my body was not shattered to particles and using my ability ['--'One who endured the deadly flames] my eyes did not burn. 

But as I said normal laws do not apply to this world yesterday, Emma was able to deflect my attack which was assisted by this light speed move. 

I did that light speed move again after pushing Emma back hoping that I might caught her off guard when she would be struggling for balance. I had stored the large amount of firepower when our swords collided, and we were doing a strength competition. 

Emma did a somersault in midair and deflected my attack with her sword. Well, I was only going to hit her with back of my sword, but she attacked me with her blade, I barely deflected that attack and lost my balance, while protecting my eye from her sword's blade. 

"Hey!!! Take it easy will ya! I almost lost my eye!" I yelled in anger and relief. 

"What? Why!? This is training, we are supposed to take this seriously." 

Emma tried to feign ignorance. 

"Serious my ass! I almost lost my eye because of you! If you are this serious in your training than your training partner will not be able to be 'serious' during his mission." I again yelled in complain. 

"Sorry for that, I am just not used to this caliber!" She smiled while rubbing the back of her head with her left hand's palm." 

Her caliber remains a mystery to everyone in here. She has not told anyone about it except for some higherups. Emma is called the 'princess of tranquility' by every teacher of Heinsberg. Be it wildlife survivals or modern weaponry's teacher, all consider Emma, Ellie, Hoover and Gil, the best prodigies of Heinsberg this year. 

I am not counted among them, which does not bother me because after finding about my caliber's true ability I know it will take some serious time before I can be ranked among them. 

Considering all of Emma's talent she says every single time that she is not used to her caliber! How is that possible? She deflects my move which I am only able to use twice every ten minutes with so much ease and says that she is not used to her caliber!? World could not be more unfair, huh! 

"Not used to!? You always deflect my perfectly targeted attacks!" I express my distress. 

Emma did not gave me any answer so I again asked her a question I have been asking for every single training class for past five days. 

"What is your caliber? At least tell me that much!" I persuaded her. 

She sighed and brought her sword closed to her face; her silver blade now has the reflection of her cheek in it. 

"I don't like to refuse again and again, but you have not been able to land a single strike on me!" 

This stupid bet again! Why did I had to make that bet, at that time I was so full of myself. 

"Are you not curious about my caliber?" I tried to bribe her with information. 

"Well, according to our bet I had also not landed a hit on you even once so-" 

"Haha! Thank you for increasing my confidence!" I showed my gratitude to her. 

"Ok!" Ellie said in surprised voice. As she did not find me saying anything she continued saying, "Wait a minute! You think I am better than you!? Well, I am but, do you know what the best way is to be better and to never fail at anything? It is not confidence that lets you succeed, it is faith! Faith in your efforts and loyalty to your goal. If you have both than you are better than you think of yourself and Seth, you have both!" Emma suddenly turned into a public speaker; she reminded of that pompous Leonard James who came to Heinsberg to welcome us after the mission. 

"S-so,..... It means we are both better than each other? Or what!? I am too stupid to understand stuff like that!" I said in a sharp voice. 

Ellie just gave me a frown that was filled with surprise and anger. 

"You are stupid! That is what I can say without any uncertainty."
