Chapter 15
Chapter 15: Alone
The Godslayer Humankind taught its children how to hate the Dark Races from a young age, depicting them as horrible monsters. While that did the trick, making every human loathe them, it also generated a great fear in their hearts.
All the youths present were Wave Warriors, but none of them was a proper soldier, so the idea of facing the Dark Races still scared them. Even those coming from Noble Families that seemed to have an idea of the Military Academy Secret Trial adopted solemn expressions.
“Do we... Do we have to take the test?”
Vice-Captain Josef’s eyes grew immensely cold as he heard that and focused on the one who uttered those words, making the youth tremble non-stop.
Although Josef was angry, he noticed how that was a question many wanted to ask, so he only sneered.
“Hmph, the Imperial Military Academy can offer you even better resources than Wave Universities, but if you want them, you have to take them. Background doesn’t matter here. Only your strength does!”
Josef’s aura exploded as he uttered those words, and a furious dark-purple Wave Cloak emerged from him. It unleashed so much power that it almost sent some of the youth flying away.
.....
“Those too scared to face the danger ahead should get the fuck out of my sight right now!”
After Josef uttered those words, several cadets lowered their heads and left, reducing the number that would take the Secret Academy Test by a quarter.
Vice-Captain Josef did not bother to glance at the cadets leaving and focused on the ones remaining before nodding and waving his hand, making rectangular flying drones fly to every cadet.
