19 C19 Face Slapping the Instructor
In the morning, Allen went back to camp 03-355 with all the phantom bats that he had hunted, which he placed on his storage tool.
He only took them out when he was near the camp. Although he was not afraid of the camp, it was still better to avoid unnecessary trouble, especially now that he is yet to come back to his.
Allen exchanged the phantom bats to the mission hall for a total of 2853 Military Credits.
When he took out the phantom bats that he had hunted, all the trainees at the mission hall looked at him in disbelief.
They were in disbelief that a trainee wiped the entire colony of phantom bats in the wilderness near camp 03-355.
They expect that trainees are weak just like them, not like what Allen showed.
Meanwhile, the A.I. of the camp reported this to the instructors, which surprised them. They had seen many promising trainees but this was their first time seeing someone like Allen that could wipe a whole group of bats. He was too domineering.
Not only the instructors but this piece of news was also sent to the principal of the camp, Colonel Lucas.
When Colonel Lucas saw the news, he was delighted.
Such 'seed' is rare. And, he was glad that this seed was from his camp.
He cannot help himself but smile widely. He had decided to see the 'young man' when he had time.
Back to the camp, Allen went to the library and looked for history books. He wanted to read about the history of this world.
He also wants to absorb the knowledge that humans have accumulated in the past.
The knowledge of this era is different from his. This era, despite not having Divine Spirits to provide divine energy, still progressed at great heights.
This made Allen admire the leaders of this era. They are not reliant on someone else. Instead, they find a way on their own to make their civilization progress.
Allen wondered how powerful will this civilization become after many centuries, or, perhaps, millennia.
Allen learned physics, mathematics, and more. He was fascinated, not by the theories but, by their progress. Although it was already 3020, the government insisted on teaching the knowledge of the past thousand years. They said that the knowledge of the past thousand years is the foundation of the present.
The knowledge of the current era is founded from the past era.
Allen's predecessor did not excel much in class. Since they were orphaned, he had to work to feed himself and his sister.
Thus, he had neglected his studies. But the lessons that his predecessor missed were being learned by Allen in a day. He was learning it as easily as breathing.
The next day, Allen is in the academic class and was very bored, all that Captain Laura was saying was already on his mind.
He had already read the book that Captain Laura sent them and had absorbed all the knowledge in it.
Allen somewhat regretted going to training. He could have just skipped training. He was bored out of his wits in this camp. He thought that he had nothing to learn here.
"Allen, you seemed to be spacing out?" Captain Laura asked.
"I'm bored," Allen said straightforwardly. He did not care about her position.
Why would Allen care about her position if did not even care much about this camp?
When Captain Laura heard Allen's answer he was not offended.
She knew that trainees with strong fighting prowess are bored in this kind of class. They would rather fight than sit inside the room and listen to the lengthy explanation of their instructors.
Captain Laura opened the holographic screen of her watch and sent a file to Allen.
"If you can answer all the questions that I sent you, you don't need to attend my class anymore," she said while he looked at Allen with an amiable smile.
But Allen did not think it was amicable. For him, that kind of smile is insulting.
Although she did not say it, she wanted to slap Allen with the truth that even if he was strong, he still has a lot to learn.
"Sure," said Allen and opened the file. He, then, started answering the questions at a fast pace.
There are a total of one hundred questions but Allen answered them all in two minutes. Then, he sent it back to Captain Laura and did not wait for her to check his work.
Captain Laura glared at him piercingly. She thought that Allen was playing tricks on her but when she checked it, she was speechless.
Allen had a perfect score. She checked it again and again but the result was still the same.
She wanted to get angry but she was silenced by Allen's perfect score.
But she swore in her heart that she would find a way to get back at him. What happened just now is rather embarrassing for her as an instructor. But she cannot just take her revenge on him. She has to find a legal way.
After being silent for a while, she slightly shook her head and continued her lecture.
She lectured about the beasts in this era.
The beasts are ranked the same as the military. Captain beast, Colonel beast, General beast, and Admiral beast.
Then, these ranks are further divided into two, the higher and lower. For example, the stronger Captain beast will be called the higher Captain beast.
These ranks are not given on a whim. In centuries of study, scientists had found out that there is a certain threshold to the strength of the beast.
Those were the same as the main ranks of the army. Then, they also found out that there are beasts that have abnormal strength. For example, a Captain beast that is stronger than the others.
But, although it was stronger than the other Captain beast, it still cannot fight those of the higher rank.
A higher Captain beast cannot fight a Colonel beast and if it did, it is no longer a Captain beast. It will be graded as a Colonel beast.
Meanwhile, Allen had already left and gone to the library and continued immersing himself in the sea of knowledge of this era.
He stayed in the library till evening and only went back to his dormitory an hour before his next class would start.
