067 – Odd Behavior 1

Miss Hira was the only one to notice the peculiarity, she had no love for Lirian that's for sure but she didn't like what she saw the commander mouth to Lirian.

'You're a toy, let's see what you can do about it,' after that he smirked and walked away, she didn't understand what the commander was trying to say but it clearly managed to rile up Lirian.

As commander Alastor, walked away, he suddenly raised a hand to his head and grimaced, casting a quick glance back at Lirian with a puzzled expression.

He didn't understand what he had just done it was like something had come over him but he couldn't explain it, he shook his head focused on the students once more.

Lirian climbed back to his feet slowly, he was well aware of everyone's reactions to his little stunt with the information loop, there was more than a 99.99% laughter rate and as he looked through the information loop, he found one with Lady Elizebeth Jane and Alastor Jane.

The two of them sat close together, sipping on tea as they watched Lirian make his speech.

The commander started to address the class. but Lirian paid his words little attention to him and focused solely on what he recorded through the information loop.

'He looks pretty close to the Jane family head,' he thought, he chuckled at the last part when he fixed his gaze on the two of them, Alastor crushed his cup of tea in shock, in his defence it wasn't an uncommon reaction.

Lady Elizabeth maintained her regal appearance, but she couldn't help but pull her face into a frown.

It was his first time seeing Lady Elizebath, his mother had told him a lot about the Jane family, they had a very close friendship, after all the Jane family had been the first advanced world to declare their support of her candidacy as an empress candidate.

Lirian had been elated, the information gathering loop had gone very well even better than he had expected almost 30% of the high-ranking nobles had seen it including the emperor.

He was the only one that didn't outright laugh at his words, after all, he knew of Lirians origins as a god child and about his pod data so by all means his talent did give him a very good chance, at becoming emperor, and from his constant conversations with Taliyah he knew how intelligent Lirian truly was.

Lirian got back in line with the class as Alastor took his place in front of them, "Split up into groups I want the warriors, mages, and psychics to form their own groups." his deep voice carried across the training ground with ease and the students quickly scattered.

A group of 9 warriors, and two groups of five, there was an odd balance in his class usually psychics were the least common but his class had 5 psychics and 5 mages, he remained in place by himself as the groups settled down and waited for commander Alastor.

Alastor nodded as he scanned the students, "I have prepared three different courses for each class group," he pointed at the longest and hardest of the obstacle courses.

"That one is designed to draw out the potential of a warrior and only the warriors will go through it, as a warrior it is your job to stand in the front and take the heavy blows if you make a mistake, it will put your entire team in danger, always remember that as a warrior you are the front line if you crumble so will those that stand behind you."

"As for the rest of you while the warrior's course isn't as easy as yours that doesn't mean you get to enjoy a simple course," his voice boomed as he shouted at the mages and psychics.

"Even if your body is not your main focus, you must still train as if it is, on the battlefield a single slip up on the front line can leave you wide open for an attack, and without time to build up a force barrier or a spell you'll die before you can blink,"

"I expect every single one of you to pass through that obstacle course with flying colours and if you struggle with any part use your mana and force fields to come up with something creative, in the field of battle that is what matters the most, to be able to adapt to any situation is the duty of the mages and psychics."

Just as everyone was about to move he gripped onto his head again as he grimaced, like he had an intense migraine.

Miss Hira came to him as she noticed, she gently put a hand on his arm, "Is everything alright commander?" she asked with a voice full of concern.

"It's nothing," he said practically shoving her away, he looked around at the students and when his gaze fell on Lirian he felt a strange force acting on his mind that he couldn't control.

His gaze suddenly became calm and he felt the gritting pain in his head ease up as walked forward to stop the class, he knew that he had to follow his instincts, to stop the strange sensation.

"Before you start there is something I would like to show all of you, it's something else that all of you will have to learn in combat training and I think that the prince candidate will be the perfect person to do the demonstration." he turned to Lirian and with a small smile on his face, he motioned for Lirian to come forward.

Lirian walked forward, wondering what was wrong with the commander, he was sweating and as far as Lirian could tell there was nothing the commander did that could make seventh-grader sweat.

While lost in his thoughts an object came flying at him, if not for his inhuman reflexes he didn't doubt that it would have hit him even if it was blunted steel, it could have easily left a wound on him.
