Preparations For War
"One! Two! Three! Repeat them after me!" Standing on the platform was Krune, swinging his hammer in a set action. Repeating the same action were all students of the Imperial Academy, their expressions full of vigor.
After all, for anyone that dared to not give their all, they were forced to kneel. For Krune, it took a quick thought to exert his dominance by fully activating his Star Hammer.
In any case, those that trained in his teachings noticed a visible growth in their strength. Plus, Krune was only strict. He didn't abuse them nor show any partiality.
Well, to be more specific, he was partial towards training, making everyone train to their limits. As for himself, he trained even harder than everyone, leading everyone by example. So, none could actually complain.
Then again, they were glad to have such a knowledgeable instructor guiding them, one that was impartial and wholeheartedly imparted them precious knowledge.
