"...Squad 6, Squad 8! What the heck was that? Stop gawking in there and move! Raise those damn weapons! Don't tell they're just for show!?"
"Squad 12! Exercise moderation damn it! Keep flooding the channels with energies and you'd just blow yourselves out! Squad 16 and 18! Co on!? I saw you guys wolfing down so food earlier, where did all of that go? Put so damn power behind your strikes!!"
Logan's beastly roars echoed across the massive training field. His three-set of arms were folded in front of him as he stood ramrod straight with piercing gaze that sends shivers to the disciples practicing below.
Behind him were Henry, Theo and Raven, sitting at a round chair and enjoying so food and tea. They watched with great interest and amusent as Logan took the role of the strict and scary training officer.
"Ahh...look at him go. Placing him in this position was truly the correct decision." Theo muttered causing Henry and Raven chuckle.
"One might say that's he's currently in his elent." Raven nodded in agreent.
"I hate to admit it but he's clearly better at this compared to ." Henry nodded as well, "Truly a fresh and inspiring training officer."
'I can hear you lot, you do know that right?' Logan told them via voice transmission. 'Also, don't speak too loud, you're distracting the little buggers.'
"Aww, look at him. He cares so much about his little students..." Theo whispered in amusent, causing Raven and Henry to chuckle even more much to the annoyance of Logan.
'If you guys have nothing better to do, then don't bother or stay quiet! I'm doing my damn job here, you unreasonable fellows!' Logan roared at the via voice transmission again.
'Woah take it easy there, coach. Don't mind us, we're just here to relax anyway.' Henry replied through the sa way but it just irked Logan even more.
"Pay attention to your opponent's next move you dolts!! Don't think that just because you landed a hit, they're going to die! They can defend and counter-attack. Analyze the flow of the battle and plan your next move! Observe your opponents, morize their pattern and plan a way to defeat them as soon as possible! How many tis do I have to tell you this!?" Logan roared towards the disciples once again, causing them to visibly panic.
'Damn it, you guys' presence are just really bothering . Can you all like, I don't know, disappear or whatever? Let's talk later when I'm done here.'
'No can do, Sir.' Raven replied, causing Logan to sigh in defeat. 'I'm here to observe this rember? As for this two, just endure it. Them doing sothing like this shouldn't be new to you anyway.'
'Yes, you're right. It isn't the first ti I experienced this, but it doesn't an that I got used to it. I'm still irritated.' Logan relied yet his gaze never left the situation below.
'Oh co on, stop whining. This isn't a big deal. Just endure it a little but more.' Raven replied as he as well paid attention to the situation below.
Logan can't argue with Raven so he did what the guy said and endured the distracting presence of the three people behind him.
The training exercise continued below, Logan would occasionally let out loud roars, giving so strong and rough advices to the disciples fighting below him. The training exercise lasted for three hours before Logan announced that they're done for today.
As soon as the announcent was made, the disciples deactivated the formations and simultaneously collapsed on the ground panting and exhausted. So of them can't even move a finger due to how exhausted they were from the hellish training Logan put them on. Majority of the students were definitely cursing Logan within their minds calling him nicknas such as: Demon Officer, Son of a Bitch, and so on...
Monts later, Logan jumped down at the ground level with Raven on tow, seeing the Heir of Chronos with him, the disciples panicked and imdiately stood up to pay respects to the Young Sect Master. However because of their exhaustion, so of them stumbled on their feet or just couldn't stand up properly.
"It's fine, no need for formalities. Catch your breath and just lend an ear will you?" Raven showed a refreshing smile that seemingly invigorated the disciples. This allowed them to at least sit back up and gather their remaining focus in order to listen to whatever he has to say.
"You did well, considering the fact that the Formations you are using haven't been around for long. That being said, there's still many rooms for improvents. I would like to point out so in order to help you use these new toys more effectively."
Raven gingerly picked a random formation that was on the ground and activated it. Nurous runes lit up and the formation transford into a construct that looked similar to what the disciples were using before.
"Alright, let's go back to the basics of this formation." Raven ford a stick from his energies and used it to point at a certain area of the Formation Construct beside him. "This Formation is driven by five people at once, aning that it combines all of your strength into a single entity."
"In order to improve the fluidity of your actions, don't just pay attention to the movent of your opponents, pay attention to the thought process of your teammates as well. Your minds are sowhat connected when you use this Formation Construct, that is also the reason why it is advised that the most experienced person in the ground becos the 'Driver' of the construct."
"Rember you guys are a single entity once you're inside the construct. Be sensitive and always pay attention to even the smallest hints you can take. Just like what Logan had been telling you so far, observe and adapt. The faster you end your battles the more of our enemies you can take down."
"Also, I mainly put a pole-arm as the main weapon of the construct since I thought it's going to be better due to it's unique shape. You can either study so basic pole-arm techniques to help you adjust to this or you can request for a weapon change, whatever it is, communicate with your teammates, make sure to reach a consensus where everyone's willing in order to minimize the friction."
"The people you work with are your allies, you are safe. You can lower down your guard and ask for their opinion, broaden your mind and horizons. That's the only way you can improve and be of more help to the upcoming war. Also, always keep Logan's advice in mind, don't feel butt hurt because if his an tone, take it with a grain of salt and reflect. This will help you a lot. Am I clear?"
"Yes, Young Lord." The disciples replied in unison.
"Very good, now you all may return and rest. Be on ti tomorrow as well." Raven dismissed the disciples and each of them paid respects to them before leaving.
Once the training field was empty, Logan and Raven returned to the upper floor to join Henry and Theo.
"Wait, as I thought sothing's amiss." Logan said as he sat down, he then asked: "Where's Charles?"
"He's with Elder Fla right now, for so reason the Flas of Olympus required his help." Theo inford as he rested his back against the chair.
"Eh? Why him? Shouldn't it be you?" Henry was confused.
"I don't know either. You know Elder Fla, he can be quite pragmatic sotis. If he wanted to tell , then he's going to tell . That's just how he is." Theo grumbled as he took another sip of his tea.
The ntion of Elder Fla got Raven thinking...
'Yeah, I haven't t this Elder Fla in person yet. I only saw the Flas of Olympus once and its when I received the Cleansing Flas for the first ti. Should I visit him?'
"Raven, if Elder Flas wants to et you, he'll call for you." Theo said, shocking Raven from his stupor. "No offense but even with your status, Elder Fla won't make an exception for you."
"Wow, was I really that obvious that I want to visit him?" Raven asked.
"Not really..." Theo comnted, "But I can sowhat tell since I was the one who brought up the topic and you went into your 'planning mode'."
" 'Planning mode?' "
"Yep." Logan nodded, "You see, whenever your planning sothing to do, it's either for the benefit of the sect or the demise of our enemies. You are making quite a face whenever you do it you know."
Raven turned to Henry with an inquisitive gaze and he saw the latter sigh and nod softly: "It's precisely what they say."
"It gives us the shivers you know?" Theo comnted while smiling wryly, "Specially when you're planning soone's demise, your expression turns into sothing scarier than Logan's poker face."
"Oh!" Raven clenched his chest dramatically and said: "How painful! I'm hurt! How could you say such thing!? How can this be!?"
"Hey! The fuck was that for?" Logan was offended causing cheerful laughs the rest.
