Chapter 309 Strongest Sage, Observes Combat Training

"Can you show me how you guys usually go about your training?"

"Yes! . . . We have more than 10 kinds of training regimes, which one do you like to see?"

"The closest one to the real combat . "

I'd have liked to check out all their training regimes, but we don't have that much time .

Which means, first I need to see their practical training .

As results from basic training and stuff can be seen in practical training .

"Understood! . . . Prepare the anti-demon training regime! Assume Type-A, take up the fourth mobile formation! Spread out!"

""""YES SIR!""""

Right as Meirad gave the order, the Second Academy students nearby immediately move out and took up a formation .

It only took them less than five seconds to form up the formation .

"Wonderful coordination . "

"Yes . After all, this unit is the elite of the elite even in Second Academy . "

Meirad checked up the formation as he said that .

The formation is merely them forming four lines .

Mobile formation isn't really suited for combat .

This is . . . I see they're working under the assumption that they would encounter demons while on the move .

As it's not a guarantee that they will always be in battle formation when a demon appears .

From mobile formation, to swiftly switching into combat formation, this training probably covers those .

"Begin the practice!"

With that, Second Academy Students run off all at once .

Their speed is around 25 km/h . . . The speed Second Academy students can maintain while using the lowest amount of mana possible .

Meanwhile . . . Students who didn't get in the formation fetched lumps of metal embedded with magic stones, and augmented those with unfamiliar magic .

" . . . Illusion magic huh . "

That spell formula is a type of illusion magic .

It's probably an original magic intended for training .

Though their augmenting speed isn't that fast, they're also including movement magic in it .

It's of a moderate quality as a moving target for practice .

To think they would come up with such usage . . . Writing ways to create original magic in Second Academy textbooks was worth the effort .

As I thought that . . . The students threw the illusion-augmented lumps of metal high above .

The thrown metal flew far away with the movement magic .

. . . A few seconds later .

When a lump of metal that had flown off came back, one of the students who had been running around the schoolyard in circle shouted sharply .

"Demon sighted! At 7 o'clock, distance 500 meters . "

"Affirmative! All hands, get into combat formation and begin suppression!"

Meirad pointed at the lump of metal as he said that .

The magic augmented on the lump of metal was already active, showing an illusion of demon .

Volleys of arrows augmented with restraining magic shot off toward that illusions .

All of them have been augmented with abnormal status magic .

"7 abnormal status magic arrows, direct hit! Begin restraining!"

Meirad shouted that, confirming the hit .

"Unit 2 and unit 3, switch to attack magic!"

"Affirmative!"

Following Meirad's command, part of the students switched from augmenting restraining magic to attack magic .

Some students also started unleashing attack magic besides shooting arrows .

. . . What a neat cooperation .

Swiftly taking attack formation after discovering an enemy, shooting restraining magic, then putting in damaging magic once the enemy stopped moving .

Sounds easy, but pulling off this tactics perfectly is actually really hard .

A lesser demon would have long been dead with this .

"Suppressed the virtual enemy! Give me status report on our current forces!"

Meirad declared that when the suppression practice was over .

Then the students started giving him a lowdown on the number of arrows shot, remaining mana and such .

This training must also cover how to stay on top form for the next encounter with demons .

Meirad asked me once they were done reporting .

"The one set just now . . . is the training to deal with demons when our whole units are present . Since in reality, all members won't necessarily be present always, we've also been doing training to buy time with fewer people . "

I see .

How do I say it . . . It's quite wholesome .

They got this far in that short amount of time huh .
