The afternoon at Training Room.
When Squad 105 is ready with dummy 7S Gear, the gate is automatically opened then all Cadet entering the Projection Chamber with full equipment for test.
“Alright, Squad 105. Your first test to defeat Fluxter will start in 1 minute. Before simulation begin, I’ll explain our main course.” Samuel speaking by chamber’s speaker.
“Your target is the common type Fluxter, Landcaster. You have learned about it, thick skin as steel, big and tough horn. Even they move slow, their power is pretty strong. Your mission is defeat one Landcaster by extracting the core, and you are free to stay in group or handle it by yourself, but I suggest to stay in group. Time limit is 2 hours, the test will finish if your time is up or someone already defeated no matter Cadet or Fluxter.” Said Samuel.
“How is your lunch?” ask Lemirk.
“I’ve made it on time.” Said Cornelio.
“That’s good.”
“Have you enjoyed your lunch? With Nathan and Dallas.”
Lemirk a bit surprised when Cornelio mention the other two member.
“Y-yeah, it was. Thank you for asking.” Lemirk got nervous.
“So, have you meet real Landcaster before?” Cornelio ask him.
“Well, I’ve saw them in website, why?” ask Lemirk
“Good! Cuz there is no different.” Said Cornelio.
Lemirk doesn’t understand what he said.
“Ah, right. Your dummy 7S Gear make you feel anything while in projection, including the pain. But it has same function with real 7S Gear, so use it properly.” Said Samuel.
“First RT Simulation test for Squad 105 will start in 5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1. Projection activated.”
The chamber is going to dark, then slowly lighted up and changed to rain forest.
“Projection succeeded.”
“All channel communication work properly.”
“All Cadet status normal.”
“Alright, Squad 105. The test has begun!” said Samuel.
Squad 105 start to searching the Landcaster.
But it does not easy to find it, most of them have no experience in forest.
“How many times left we have?” ask Lemirk.
“35 minutes is up.” Said Alexa.
“So, anyone have idea to catch it?” Nathan is asking to the other member.
“Seriously, what have you learn in the class?” said Noel.
“I’m asking for better move than walk to nowhere in this forest!” Nathan is provoked.
“Guys please, we must stick together.” Alexa trying to calm them down.
But Cornelio just walk to different direction and leaving them.
“Hei! Where are you going?” ask Alexa.
“Looking for river.” Said Cornelio and keep moving.
“River? Are you thirsty?” ask Lemirk.
“Landcaster body is filled by bulk of skin, it must treat the skin to survive.” Said Cornelio.
“So what?” Nathan keeps asking.
“They must be near a river or any place with muddy place.” Said Cornelio.
“Is that so? Why don’t you tell us at the beginning?” said Lemirk.
“Alright, let’s move!” said Nathan.
Squad 105 searching any place just like Cornelio’s explanation, he helping them to finish the test quickly then stay away from another Cadet again.
“…! Wait!” Dallas got all attention.
“What’s wrong?” said Lemirk.
“Did you hear that? There … 1 o’clock.” Said Dallas.
He figuring out strange sound.
“That’s it! We are close to target, let’s go!” said Cornelio.
They going to the source of the sound.
When they arrived there, one Landcaster is rolling in mud pond.
“Look at that monster, imagine it was a filthy car.” Said Dallas.
“How many people can ride on its back?” said Lemirk.
“Go try it, Mirk!” said Nathan.
“Just prepare your weapon and finish this boring test.” Said Cornelio.
“Take it easy, Cornelio. Just enjoy this game.” Said Lemirk.
“Good to hear if you can enjoy this sport, Mirk.” Said Cornelio.
But he takes this test as serious case.
“Guys, be quiet or it will run away.” Said Alexa.
“What will we do if it runs?” ask Hazel.
“Don’t let that happened, we only have one chance. Shoot the feet to prevent it runs, then cut off the head while it can’t move.” Said Cornelio.
“T-that’s good idea.” Said Lemirk.
“Any question?” ask Cornelio.
Other Cadet just silent.
“Alright, let’s do this.” Said Cornelio.
All Cadets preparing their gun with Piercing Shell ammo and aiming to the Landcaster’s feet.
“Begin attack in 3 … 2 … 1! Fire!” said Cornelio.
All Cadets shooting their guns, Landcaster feel the pain and roughly moving.
“It won’t stop!” said Hazel.
“FIRE!!” Nathan said to shoot it again.
“Wait! Calm down!” but Cornelio say the other.
Another cadet ignoring Cornelio and keep shooting because of panic.
“Damn it! Just stop moving!” said Nathan.
He pissed off because of he can’t shoot directly to the target.
Landcaster getting mad and rush through the Cadets.
“In coming!” said Dallas.
“Fire!” said Nathan.
“No! Stop it!” Cornelio keep warn them.
“Don’t stop! Shoot down that beast!” Nathan won’t hear him.
But they can’t stop the Landcaster.
“Damn! It doesn’t work!” said Nathan.
“It getting close!” said Dallas.
“Everyone, move!” said Cornelio.
Landcaster crush everything that stand on the path, all Cadet have managed to escaped from the attack.
“Is everyone alright?” ask Alexa.
“Yeah, seems like that.” Said Lemirk.
“Kugh …! As I predticte –”
Cornelio trying to standing up but suddenly Nathan punch him.
“What the …?!” said Cornelio.
“That beast is coming and you say to stop?! Are you lost your mind?!” Nathan is very angry.
“Calm down, Nath!” Lemirk try to calm him down.
“Yes, it because of their head is toughest part …! Especially the skull, you can’t penetrate it by common Piercing Shell.” Said Cornelio.
Cornelio trying to explain the situation.
“What a bull shit! Come, I’ll prove it right now!” said Nathan.
Nathan approaching to Landcaster and other Cadets follow him.
“What are you doing? It’s our chance to cut off the head while it exhausted!” Said Cornelio.
“Can you just shut up?!” said Nathan.
Nathan aiming to Landcaster’s head in front of him then pull the trigger releasing one shoot to Landcaster’s head.
“See? You ready to eat your words?!”
But that Fluxter is awaken even there is a hole on the head.
“Whatch out!” said Alexa.
“…! Wha –” Nathan has thrown by Landcaster.
“Everyone, fire!!” said Dallas.
All Cadet shooting that beast.
“Get out of there!” said Alexa.
Nathan is coughing and crawling on the ground trying to get away from Landcaster.
“Damn it! It doesn’t work!” said Dallas.
“I’ve told you before …!” said Cornelio.
“Then what should we do?!” ask Alexa.
“Stay away from Landcaster! Once it goes berserk, all we can do is just wait for a chance to attack.” Said Cornelio.
“Help …! I don’t want to die …! I don’t want to die!!” Nathan keeps crawling with panic.
Landcaster is standing up by its back feet and going to stepped on Nathan’s back.
“NOOO!!” Nathan keeps screaming while the other Cadet coming through to help him.
But suddenly everything become dark then lighted up, projection stopped and the chamber is returned to normal.
“Alright, that’s enough.” Said Samuel from room’s speaker.
“Then how is it?” ask Cornelio.
“Huh? Are you kidding? Off course you failed.”
“Well, I’ve figured it out at the beginning.” Said Cornelio.
“Damn it!” Nathan got angry and hit the floor.
“It’s ok, it’s ok.” Lemirk want to cheer up his friend.
“First try is always hard, that’s common thing.” Said Dallas.
“Even it’s not real Landcaster, but it already so dangerous.” Said Alexa.
“That mean we need more experience to beat it.” Said Noel.
“That’s right!” said Hazel.
“Alright Squad 105, go change your outfit then back to classroom.” Said Samuel.
Squad 105 leaving the Projection Chamber.
Few moments later, Squad 105 gathered with their instructor in classroom. “Uhum! First, I’d like to give evaluation about today test.” Said Samuel. Samuel just straight to the topic. “Guys! Seriously! You just wasting your life if it was real battlefield. Is this the result of what you learned in first month?” said Samuel. All Cadets just keep silent. “Nathan!” said Samuel. “Y-yes, sir.” Said Nathan. “If I’m asked to change any member in this squad, I’ll recommended you for sure.” Said Samuel. Nathan a bit shocked after hear that. “Your command just leading this squad to the grave, maybe I should choose another member to be leader.” Said Samuel. “But it was our first test, we still can make mistakes.” Said Lemirk. “Then it was the proof of your failure to learn about to be Herrscher. Battlefield is not playground, that place could be your last land to stand, last air you breathe, last moment of your memory.” Said Samuel. Lemirk has no words. “I prefer the competent Herrsch
Lunch break time, Nathan still talking about his failure to revenge his shame in cafeteria.“I don’t believe he can pass all that traps!!” said Nathan.“When failed to get his lunch food?” said Lemirk.“Oh, he doesn’t believe it and going to check it immediately.” Said Dallas.“Or broke his chair?” said Lemirk.“I wonder why he bring screwdriver in his bag.” Said Dallas.“But I like when he can escape from the water splash at toilet.” Said Lemirk.“Yeah, he passed to next room just like know it coming.” Said Dallas.“And the girls getting close to him after the test.” Said Lemirk.“I’m a bit jealous actually.” Said Dallas.“Just shut up! Why are you on his side?” ask Nathan.Nathan pissed off after hearing they talk about his failure.“Then how about stop was
After leaving cafeteria, Cornelio armed himself with the 7S Gears. “Talking about the previous test, you sure care about them, right? When Maverick menacing too.” said Samuel. “Dumb question.” Cornelio keeps on his mind. Cornelio ignore Samuel and continue preparing himself. “Well, this Varniant is new path. Nobody knows what is the ability.” “Just watch the show carefully and write the report, then council will praise us, right?” “Any good words? I’ll write it on your tombstone if you didn’t make it.” “Haha, very funny. It’s not like you, Sam.” said Cornelio. He knows if dark joke isn’t fit on Samuel. “I just want to tell you after what have you did in cafeteria, seems you got their attention.” Said Samuel. “So be it.” Said Cornelio. He got a bit surprised. “Then have any wise word for them?” “Umm … I want to give the same word, but I guess not for this time.” “Alright, go for it.” “You’re the most knew it. ‘If you want to get their attention, you must give it first’.”
The back up from Dorm 80 has been reach the battlefield, Samuel commands this operation with Cornelio and Choppers for main force. “Show me what you got, Dorm 80. Don’t make me regret this.” Said the commander. “Thank you, we’ll do our best.” Said Samuel. “Someone is enjoying it.” Said Cornelio. “You hear that, now we got permission to join the battle.” Said Samuel. “Hmph, seem you know how to tease him off.” Said Cornelio. “Right?” said Samuel. With Choppers attack Aerodactyls are quickly decreased. “Impressive …” “Why they don’t use this at the beginning?!” “Not from this Dorm! But every Dorm with multiple of ten number has better stuffs because there is central military base and training camp.” Said the Leader. Squad 44 coming to the cracked cocoon that used by the Seraph type to evolve. “Hngh!! Smell like dumped petroleum!” “And other things too, ugh …” “We better hurry and leave this place.” Said the Leader. “Guys, look!” Another member saw a bunch of thorn. “Let’
After lunch break, Squad 97 and 105 are arrived to the place to try the Encoded Weapon. “Alright, everyone this way.” Said Stevan. “Why wearing this suit?” ask Nathan. “Where is the Encoded Weapon?” ask Hazel. Both Squad are wearing the suit for RT Simulation. “Did you know where’ve you been, Stevan?” said Samuel by room’s speaker. They are entering the Projection Chamber while it still used. “Cornelio pass these kids to me and I just give them special tour to be a Herrscher.” Said Stevan. “And come to this room is your best spot?” said Samuel. “Oh, come on. What supposed to be happened? At least we didn’t enter the operator’s room.” Said Stevan. “Whatever.” Said Samuel. He is out of idea. “So, what bring you here?” ask Samuel. “Look like the new Squad 105 can’t wait to taste how Encoded Weapon is. That’s what I’m going to teach them.” Said Stevan. “Very well. Alright, Squad 105. Let’s see how much you have learned to be Herrscher.” Said Samuel. “Yes, sir!” Said the who
Squad 105 surprised with the chamber that suddenly going dark then lighten up in the middle of battlefield on Dorm 78. “Wha-what happened …?!” said Nathan. “Where is it?” ask Lemirk. “You still in Projection Chamber, but this is the visualization of Dorm 78 right now.” Said Samuel. "Just like streaming with virtual reality." said the operator. “Please be quiet and don’t worry about the remaining Fluxter.” Said the other operator. “What’s that mean?” ask Nathan. He doesn’t understand what operator said. “That mean Fluxters will not attack even you stand on their face.” Said Stevan. “As long the Aero-drones still active, this broadcast will remain. So, you can take a seat or stand or whatever you like and watch your future job demo.” Said Samuel. Both squad watching Cornelio and Squad 44 fighting the unknown Varniant type inside chamber projection. “GLT, GRD, shoot a flash light!” said the Squad 44 Leader. “Here we go!” said the GLT-class. “Yes!” said the GRD-class. Both of
After the silver projectile storm, all Herrscher have managed to survive from the attack. “Herrscher! Report your status! Are you alright?” said the commander. “Back line all safe.” Said the ENV-class. “Front line is fine.” Said the PRD-class. The commander calmed down when knew they are safe, especially his son. “That was close …!” said Cornelio. He made a net from his snake blade and two spears for the pole to survive from the silver projectile. “Thank you for protecting us.” Said the PRD-class. “It’s ok, this Varniant path is really annoying.” Said Cornelio. Cornelio undo his weapons transformation. “Agreed, it still alive after receiving Rail-Turret and Chopper attack.” Said the SLT-class. “Now what should we do?” ask the RTH-class. “Damn …! I didn’t expect it will become like this …!” said the PRD-class. The leader of Squad 44 got big pressure when battle field is turned to unpredictable state. Meanwhile in the back line, they are trying to shoot down Varniant type.
Cornelio touch the right then left PRD-class’s shoulder just like coronation ceremony for a knight, but he uses his plasma blade. “Eh …?” the PRD-class has no idea about what just happened. “After accept your mistake and stand up against your pride, now you have become a true PRD-class Herrscher. Now, rise up.” Said Cornelio. The PRD-class stand up and feels better after Cornelio say that. “What? Do you think I’ll cut off his head?” ask Cornelio. “W-well …” “You can say that.” Squad 44 got misunderstanding. “This is how I trust him as a Herrscher.” said Cornelio. Squad 44 really surprised with unpredictable Cornelio. “Alright, I’m not going to ask ‘are you ready to kill Varniant’ because you don’t have time to regret your choice.” Said Cornelio. “Yeah! Of course, we are ready for this.” Said the PRD-class. “Now listen up! All close ranged weapon Herrscher will distract the Varniant while our main force, long ranged weapon is preparing the silver projectile!” said Cornelio.
August 1, 2045. Today is the second day training for the Squad 105 Cadets. This training quite in peace because their main course is masterize Rail Gun, and that need full concentration to shoot down Fluxter in single shot. “Missed again! Take a deep breath to help you concentrate!” said Cornelio. “Yes, sir!” said them. “Next target, distance: 200 meters.” Said Cornelio. All Cadets aim the targe that Cornelio mentioned. “Ack …! My arm still hurt!” said Nathan with low voice. “My body still hurt …!” said Lemirk. “Ssshh …!! Don’t make noise …!” said Alexa. Cornelio’s training is harder than common training they ever had, it’s more exhausting than latest month training. “I can’t sleep well yesterday because of that kind of lesson …!” said Nathan. Cornelio release one gun shot to Nathan. “Hwaaaahh!!” Nathan is screaming. And off course he missed it. All Landcaster heard it and runaway, other Cadet canceled to take down next target. “He just shoots me, right?!” Nathan got tri

That afternoon was the first day training for Squad 105 Cadet after council grant Samuel’s last wish. “Alright, this is your first day training but we only have a half day left for lesson, so let’s make it quick.” Said Cornelio. “So, what do we do now?” ask Alexa. “You’ll know it.” Said Cornelio. The chamber going dark then lighten in the middle of forest with a Landcaster in front of the Cadets. “Whoah!” “Whatch out!” All Cadet got auto reflect and stay back from the Landcaster. “That’s not include the lesson, but nice move. You need to keep your distance from Fluxter when they suddenly appear.” Said Cornelio. He praised them because make a correct decision. “Now this is for your first lesson. You must cut off Landcaster head as much as you can for an hour.” Said Cornelio. “An hour?!” said Nathan. The first lesson shock him that traumatic with this monster. “Come on, that’s very easy for Cadets to do.” Said Cornelio. “Don’t com
July 28, 2045. Sovereignty Dorm number 80.Cornelio and the Choppers are arrived in Dorm 80 military base, but the Varniant Type body is transported to another Dorm.“Welcome back.” Said Samuel.He already waits Cornelio’s arrival after informed if he leaving Dorm 78.“I’ve returned, what I missed?” ask Cornelio.“Oh, still nothing. Because it’s perfect time to ruin council’s day.” Said Samuel.“I’d like to get nap time after latest fight, but I guess you would drag me to give report about the unknown Varniant Type.” Said Cornelio.After that battle, they must give report to the Dorm council about every detail of the battle.“Then let’s make it quick and get our day off.” Said Samuel.After Cornelio restore his equipment, he going to council’s room with Samuel.Then Samuel knocks the room’s door to ask permi
All of Aero-drones didn’t get anything to record from inside the cocoon and can’t visualist clearly what exactly happened inside there. “What happened next?” ask Nathan. “I’m curious too.” Said Stevan. “Sorry with the inconvenient, but I just got report if Cornelio successfully defeat Varniant type!” said Samuel. Squad 97 and Squad 105 shout loudly after hear that victory news. “As the expected from my rival!” said Stevan. “Hmph! You just randomly pick someone to be your rival, right?” said Nathan. “We are so proud can stand with him in this Squad.” Said Lemirk. “It should be an honor.” Said Noel. “Both is right.” Said Hazel. “Did he will return to Dorm 80 right now?” ask Alexa. “I guess so.” Said Dallas. Look like his squad member can’t wait to see Cornelio again. “Uhhh … he wouldn’t return that early. After he defeated Varniant type, somehow he fallen down.” Said Samuel. “…! What happened?!” ask Alexa. “Did he get critical damage?” ask Noel. “He removed the core limit
Varniant type getting hard to fight back their combination with sharp close ranged attack by front line Herrschers that tear up hardened skin and barrage of high-speed bullets from back line Herrschers. “Look! The hardened skin is removed!” said the ENV-class. Varniant type expanding the wings. “It’s going to run away!” said the RTH-class. “Let’s take the wings!” said the PRD-class. The PRD-class step on the RTH-class’s axe then launched to Varniant type. “Take this!” said the PRD-class. He attacked the Varniant’s head with his sword, but the skull was too hard and broke his sword while successfully makes Varniant flight lower. “It’s our chance!” said the SLT-class. “Oh yeah!” said the ENV-class. Both of them jump to the air and cut off the Varniant’s wings. “Are you ok, capt?” said the RTH-class. “Yeah, I just broke my weapon.” Said the PRD-class. His hand a bit trembling because of the impact, but he still can release new PRD-class Encoded Weapon but without enhancement
