Heavenly Saga

A day had passed after Teacher Kyleen's announcement about the names of all the participants that would represent the 210th class in the academy's yearly tournament.

The current day was Saturday so Kraftvoll and the others will be starting their training at one in the afternoon. The sun rose up like what it usually does and a moment later, Kraftvoll woke up from his deep sleep.

After waking up, he did his routine like every morning of his days in the Verrater Academy. When it was almost time for their training he departed to their training area so that teacher Kyleen wouldn't scold him again for being late.

When he opened his door, he saw his two brothers. "Hey, First brother! Let's go together!" said Godwin with a smile with Prince Aragorn beside him.

Kraftvoll naturally agreed to Godwin's invitation so the three of them went to their way to the training area. When the three of them arrived at their destination, they saw all the girls, who were going to partake in the yearly tournament as well, waiting for their homeroom teacher. Some of them greeted Kraftvoll and Prince Aragorn.

"Good afternoon, President!"

"Good afternoon, Vice-President!"

After a few minutes, Teacher Kyleen finally arrived at the designated area of training. When Kraftvoll and the other saw that their homeroom teacher had arrived, they started to quiet down so that Teacher Kyleen can start the training.

Teacher Kyleen started talking after they quieted down, "Now, we will start our training. In this training, we will not do any seishin cultivation training. The point of the training that we are about to do is to improve your coordination as a team. All of you are gonna learn seishin cultivation in your own seishin classes, but here we will use our training to develop your skills in being a member of a team."

Sabina, Godwin's fiancee, raised her hand to ask a question. When teacher Kyleen glanced her way, she started asking her inquiry, "So we will fight among each other, then?"

"Yeah, that's right," said Teacher Kyleen with a serious face. She continued talking, "To be more precise, our three-man team which composed of the boys will be battling our class' six-man team which composed of the girls."

"Isn't that unfair, teach!?" said Godwin in a loud voice.

"There is no unfair in a real battle. Sometimes, a small squad will face a big squad or a battalion in a battlefield. Compared to this, it was really hell. And also, your two teammates, Prince Aragorn and Kraftvoll, are the class' strongest. This is the main reason why I agreed to let the two of them team up in the three-man team representing your class." Teacher Kyleen said in response to Godwin's whining.

"Don't be so whiny, Third Brother. Are you afraid of them?" said Prince Aragorn to mock Godwin a little.

"N-no! It's not like that! Yo-you! Who said I'm afraid of them!?" said the angry Godwin.

"Okay, stop it, Second Brother and Third Brother, or else Teacher Kyleen will be angry at us," said Kraftvoll calmly.

The two suddenly became silent after hearing Kraftvoll. They didn't want Teacher Kyleen to be angry at them. They had enough share of her anger yesterday when they were late in their homeroom session.

Teacher Kyleen continued talking after the two of the boys quieted down. She said, "Okay before we start our practice battles, I'm going to tell you all something first. Before going any further, all of you must first know the various roles that make up a team."

The nine representatives of the 210th class of the Verrater Academy started to show seriousness when their homeroom teacher started her explanation.

Teacher Kyleen continued her explanation, "A team in a battlefield consists of roles namely the Tank, Attacker, Recon, Rear Guard, Support. A normal team consists of six members because there are two attackers and one of each of the other roles."

Kraftvoll raised his left hand to ask a question, "Teach, what are the roles in the three-man team?"

Teacher Kyleen said in response to Kraftvoll's inquiry, "Same as the roles of the six-man team. One is gonna be the rear guard and support which is called the Rearguard-Support. The other one is gonna be the attacker and recon which is called Attacker-Recon. And the last one is gonna be the other attacker and the tank which is called the Attacker-Tank."

Everyone understood very quickly. In order to maintain battle positions, all team roles have responsibilities of their own.
