WG| Chapter IX: Soldiers Training For War

Blathnaid

Day 14

This is Bracus in a nicer mood.

"Ivelisse, stop teleporting! You must only use it if you're about to die or you've finished a bloody battle! I don't want to see any running away either or I'll have General Anty track you down!"

"Blathnaid, focus better attacks on Bluvas."

"Aelen, I'm trying to refine your warrior skills as a daemon and make them better. Don't make me believe that your prime was when you were still alive."

"Naomi, your sword is dragging you right now, speed up and tighten your grip! I might as well get Cookeh to help you after duty."

"Ivelisse, stop whining or else I will let Rea plunder you."

"My goodness, Naomi, Conan has every right to laugh at you right now. I hope you're not considered a master on your planet, otherwise, I would have to show them."

"Not sorry, but you guys need more work, you're going to train longer today. Take a break."

I do wish that Bracus faces us during training, so we can mock him too while getting our butts kicked. It's not a cocky thing; I want to know the master's manoeuvres.

Bracus spared no time training us to get used to our powers. He is harsh and a brute of a sergeant. He orders us to take down his guards and his pack. One round solo and another round as a team. He is cruel enough to set us to battle each other. He made us do tests in his own castle, forest, and villages. We have to find puzzles that will keep us alive. Remember the Escape Room on Earth? Yeah, but it does happen if we don't get out in time. Fortinuous enough, all of us are still here. He trains us in the harshest conditions to get used to the hell we are about to face. All I hope for is that Netedinark's place isn't as bad as it seems.

I am doing alright with my powers; I have more control. My knowledge about this place expanded without opening a book. It takes me little time to take down Bracus's Morphans by myself. They were not afraid of going at us too. I don't even feel myself as the weakest link on the team, nor when battling my friends. Bracus compliments on how my blue powers remind him of the youth of the universe or the biggest of stars. As much as I want to take pride in that, I restrain my ego. It's easy for my ego to inflate into arrogance when I ascend from humanity. I still feel human no matter how much I am blessed. I need to keep who I am inside. That's all that matters to me.

"How old is this universe?" I asked him during one of our breaks days ago.

"Approximately, 50 billion years," he replied, "50 Billionth Era, Fifth Universe Cycle."

"Much older than I realised."

"Thank you, Blathnaid," he replied in a feign irritated voice.

Aelen's powers are the most fun out of all of us. He is able to take over minds. When the first time he took over a Morphan's mind to attack another, Bracus heavily reprimanded them, only for Aelen to explain that the Morphan was under his control. He never tried to control our own minds. He hates it. His power of mind control grew; he is able to control his own body while he is in someone else's- He can split his mind into two. Bracus also got in touch with Aelen's telekinesis. He has more range to pick items up from. He has a possibility of lifting an entire house up without touching it in the future.

"I think I found my people a house mover," Bracus commented while rolling his eyes.

Ivelisse's powers are fearful; she can warp dimensions and quantum physics in her own sight and herself. She can make multiple versions of herself to do more damage. Sometimes she does go crazy. One of her abilities is to warp the gravity curve itself into a tiny black hole. On her first try, the Morphans were fiercely pulled back into her gravity-warped area, only for it to snap, to explode. Bracus warned her to not do that again before she actually kills his troops. He will not be very pleased and that's a friendly version of saying that. Luckily, she mostly warps herself, only to reemerge normally or on the ceiling to defeat her foes.
