Chapter 41: Hunting Magic Beasts!
Seth was really pissed right now.
Commander Seth was a former student of Alpha academy himself before he had chosen to join the military. Even though he had not had any excessively high hopes for these newbie Mages, he still hoped that at the very least they could at least put up a fight in this survival training.
Yet, in merely half an hour over half the students taking the class had retired.
For someone like him who was proud that he was once a student of Alpha academy, this was a mighty slap in his face. He had been displeased when he found out that only 300 students had been accepted into Alpha academy this year and even among that number, over two-thirds were non Mages.
"What the hell! Alpha academy is supposed to be a Mage academy why are there less Mages than non-Mages?" he was enraged.
"If this continued for a few more years Alpha academy would definitely soon lose it’s position as the greatest Mage academy in the empire. Hell it might even stop being a Mage academy at this rate!"
For the last few years Alpha academy had been losing it’s prestige as a Mage academy resulting in less and less young Mages choosing to go there. Instead they would all rather flock to Omega academy.
These days only the weakest Mages chose Alpha academy, and even the non-Mages that took the Mage academy entry exams mostly only took it just since they could get sponsors.
When he learned about how low Alpha academy had fallen in these years he thought he had to do something, so he had taken leave from the front lines and come to the academy.
He thought the main reason why the standards of the students kept falling was because they lacked experience on the battlefield, so he had taken over the Survival training class for the Elementary students.
Yet, immediately he took over the Survival class the first class he was taken was almost driving him insane. In merely half an hour from the start of the training over half surrendered, even when he forcefully controlled his temper he nearly exploded.
