《Survival Story Of A Swordsman In A Post-Apocalyptic World》Chapter 15
Advertisement
The morning comes and it was finally another day. Alexander got up with a teary eye and looked through a window beside him. He saw that Souji and Takeshi are preparing for their training. He was actually very surprised that Souji took on the duty of training his friend and is anticipating the results it would yield at a later date. If ever Takeshi will be even more significantly stronger.
He got up and readied for his morning routine like washing his face, brushing teeth, and eating breakfast. Which he prepared and cooked himself.
He was actually anxious as he, Takeshi, and Zoe are going to a military academy in hopes of becoming soldiers. All three of them have different reasons to do so. And his was simply to eradicate as many monsters as he could possibly can.
"Damn **Narakas** Why the hell did they even have to exist? It just makes our lives miserable." He sighed and contemplated on the matter. Suddenly, his face turned sour as if he was disgusted but quickly fixed himself and slapped his face lightly a few times.
A few months passed when the three announced to others that they would be joining in on becoming soldiers and when they left. Souji learned many things as that short time passed and they invited him to come with them. Having assured of the safety of the village. Souji came with them to the royal capital of the country. But did not enroll in being a soldier himself as he expressed that he wanted to be away from fighting and wanted to see the world for himself. However, He can't do that so easily as the world and things run on money. And so. He works.
"Luckily this store is right in front of their place." Souji mumbled to himself while standing at the counter of the convenience store. Having no experience in any work. The only place that accepted him with decent pay was this store which was right in front of the Military Academy. So he could see and talk with the three every day. The academy is a very huge complex and this small store is nowhere as big as even a single building of it.

Every cadet is residing in barracks separated by gender and so the three. However. Souji was sleeping in the store itself to save money that he has yet to earn and the owner permits him to do so. Souji is not a normal person but a hardened, cold-blooded killer, and sleeping anywhere was as fine as sleeping on a fine bed for him. He doesn't even need a full 8-hour sleep to work and stand for the whole day and he can just shrug off his exhaustion from work compared to what he goes through in his previous life that he even managed to live through and endure.
On the first day that they arrived. They arrived at the ceremony to welcoming the aspiring cadets on joining the noble actions of the military. While they slept at the barracks. They rent Souji a hotel room and the next day the four continued to take a tour through the royal capital to accustom themselves to the city and in the process found the job for Souji accidentally when the owner is in a hurry of hiring somebody even without prior experience of the job and now is working for 2 days in it.
The first day of the three was very chaotic given that the arrangement of their class was unusual.
Class 3-L was sitting quietly and orderly when a girl of the same age as them walked inside. At first, they thought that this person was simply late and they feel excited about what would the teachers be doing to this undisciplined woman. She had a red messy bun and some spiky hair over the long untied portions at the sides, paired with attractive and fierce narrow eyes, a voluptuous body, and a large bust. She wore a black coat with the badge of her rank on the shoulders and elegantly walked into the class towards the teacher's desk slowly with a powerful aura.
"Let's start the class, Shall we?" She said calmly but then her voice suddenly became stern. "I am Lieutenant Katia Millers. I'll be the instructor for this classroom. Starting from now on. I'll be instructing you and shaping you to be the best form of what you could become. Starting from now on. We are comrades. Rather than competition, we will solely focus on collaboration. Simply by having good teamwork can we defeat the monstrosities lurking in our world. An individual's power couldn't be counted on in face of a far stronger power. We must unite and stand together if we wanted to survive in this wretched world! I'm expecting enough competency from all of you." She then paused for a few seconds as if observing. "If you guys don't have a question. Then I will go on teaching now."

"Wait!" A voice rose among the crowd. "Is this a joke? How the hell are you the same age as us and yet already a lieutenant? That is bullshit! I'm noble blood and yet I was never given such special treatment and neither any other person in the military! How the hell is a daughter of a serial killer a lieutenant and an instructor?" The man expressed himself in an angry tone.
Katia's look then suddenly became murderous. "Hmm… You know about my father's background. Yes indeed that he's a former killer, an assassin in fact. But now he's a commander in the royal knights. Are you saying that they give me such a position just because my father is in a high position? Then you should automatically become one because of your high-ranking family members? Mr. Rite? I simply started in the military at an earlier time than you all. That's all..."
"I won't accept this! This is unfair! Then they should have let other kids start while they are younger—!" The one whose last name is Rite gnashed his teeth in anger. However. His rage was cut short by Katia.
"You don't have what it takes."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Prove that you have what it takes. Right now. Because I do when I was invited to become a soldier alongside my father."
Rite gulped his saliva and was hesitant. He didn't know how strong this instructor was. But it is widely known that an instructor is level four on average and yet he's still only level 3. His best bet was a surprise attack. Which did so hastily. From beneath his desk. He reached out to his bow which was folded many times that it looks like a small black device. When he gripped the handle it rapidly transforms into a bow and magic gathered from his hands into it and generates burning-hot steam and shot out to Katia rapidly. It was steam magic. A combination of water and fire which then ultimately creates a new magical element. The earlier versions of these require people to have both water and fire magic over centuries ago from the Rite noble family which was rare to possess. But as time goes on. Those two magical energies combined in their descendants and eventually became an entirely separate magic and no longer requires a person to possess the two magic energies needed to make it but only the one that was the combination of those two.
Katia then simply reached out her right hand and the arrow that fired stopped and slowly seeped into her hand and completely disappeared as if nothing happened. "Are you done?" She said with her eyes full of mockery. Everybody present was bewildered by what happened and remained silent. She absorbed the magic as if it was nothing. And absorption of magic itself is not an ability seen before by anybody in the world and so they were shocked to their very core at what they saw.
A few moments later, a female voice broke this silence. "H-how are you able to absorb magic, instructor!?" At the far end of the classroom is a female cadet. She has long green, messy hair and green eyes wearing round glasses. She has a crazed look on her face as if wanting to devour the instructor due to what she had witnessed.
