Chapter 69
69 Improvement
Vice-Captain Josef’s Military Tactic Class went as usual. He taught the cadets several battle formations and showed videos where the human armies won and lost. In each case, he explained each scenario in detail, and more importantly, he gave guidance based on his experience handling unexpected threats and changes on the battlefield.
Those were insights that no book could give, and all the cadets gave it their full attention since it could save their life in the future.
As soon as the class ended, Cain and Beelze said goodbye to Levi before getting into a military truck and leaving the Lightning Imperial Fort.
Just like during his mission with Levi, once the military truck left the fort’s range, Cain glanced at Beelze, and both activated their armors.
Scales formed both armors, but while Cain’s was black, that of Beelze was sky-blue.
“Saint.”
“Lotus.”
The Wave Artifacts distorted Cain and Beelze’s voices as they uttered their code names. After that, they both went silent and focused on maintaining themselves at peak conditions. This trip was not a date but a mission where they would hunt a murderer.
Cain had already familiarized himself with the mission’s details. They were after a soldier who traveled to a nearby city named Korin City as part of a squad dispatched from the Lightning Imperial Fort tasked with erasing some gangs.
.....
The deserter in question was the squad leader, a young Level 4 Astral Wave Warrior named Salar Jones. He fulfilled his mission and killed the gangs’ leaders, but he raped and killed a few of the gangs’ female henchmen.
