Chapter 303 Mana Depletion
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" The boy shouted at the teacher while slapping away his hand.
The boy was visibly frustrated but was completely exhausted from overexertion and couldn't maintain his anger or frustration as he collapsed on the floor before he could say anything else with intense rage and fury still burning inside his heart.
He had completely disregarded the words of wisdom that the teacher had just given and all that he could focus on till the end was his pride and image being hurt by this humiliating defeat.
The crowd remained silent with several people covering their mouths to hide their shock after they witnessed what the boy did even after the teacher had acknowledged his strength and extended his hand toward him.
The teacher was definitely disappointed by the boy's last act; however, he couldn't really do much about it.
He slowly retracted his hand back and was visibly annoyed. He slowly turned his head to face the crowd of students who were still processing the intense battle they had just witnessed.
"Someone, please take him to the infirmary." The teacher said in a low voice before turning away.
"My name is Magnus... Just refer to me as Magnus. I will be conducting your power weapons class during your time in military school." The teacher stated in the same low tone with his back turned against the students.
With that, the teacher slowly walked back towards the entrance of the training hall which was now unlocked, and was quickly out of sight of the students.
*********************
Many of the students were still in shock and didn't dare move a muscle, even after the teacher had left the training hall. The aftereffects of his fantastic skill and aura were still heavy on their minds.
Mako too was quite fascinated by the elegant way the instructor had just fought the boy, but he quickly snapped back to reality after being one of the first to hear the painful groans of the collapsed boy who was struggling to breathe because his entire body was completely focused on recuperating its lost mana.
Mana depletion was quite severe as it could even cause a person's death if a suitable amount of mana was not restored in time.
Before humanity discovered the secrets of mana, their bodies still were passively utilizing it without their knowledge which was how many people were able to accomplish such amazing feats of the past that appeared to be superhuman.
They had trained their bodies to utilize the little mana, their body could passively access and use it in their skill which could be physical or psychological.
However, after the Yalhvi had given humanity the secret about mana and learned how to harness it in far greater amounts, a biological change occurred in the human body itself.
The teacher of the physical training class introduced herself as Mei Lin Wu. She was quite short to the point that one of the students mistook her for being a student as she wasn't wearing a military uniform or the teacher's robe, but rather a skin-tight all-black stealth suit which she claimed she wore during a recent Tier C stealth mission.
However, most of the boys in the class were stuck staring at her body through the skin-tight suit, not paying much attention to the teacher's boastful achievements. She made the students do a couple of basic exercises and training drills that were quite similar to Mako's daily quests.
After a while of observing the students do the drills, Mei told the students that they would receive a similar suit of their size by tonight and that they would have to wear that for the "real" training that would start tomorrow before dismissing the class altogether.
The ability training teacher introduced himself as Yuki Yamamoto. He had a decent build had also had frightening aura also wore the same robe as Angela.
Alongside introductions, Mr. Yuki also inquired each student about the abilities that they possessed.
Many of the students were quite uncomfortable revealing such information in front of everyone and Mr. Yuki understood the student's feelings so he told them to just tell which of the five basic elemental abilities they possessed.
He claimed that this would help him grasp the over all ability distribution of the class and help him design his classes that would be best suited for everyone; however, this was also a bonus for Mako as this would help him gain a lot of valuable information on all of the students in his class which were his competition.
Most of the students possessed two out of the five basic elemental abilities with only a few including Mako who possessed three.
Mr. Yuki then encouraged some of the students to display their abilities and to also showcase one or two skills that they knew all of which would help him further understand these new students.
Mr. Yuki was by far the politest and most calm military personnel that Mako had met. Something about his down-to-
earth and kind nature made the students feel a sense of comfort around him and even the students who were throwing up an attitude in the power weapons class were obeying Mr. Yuki's instructions.
Mako made sure to absorb everybody's power level too especially those whom he couldn't analyze. Back in the power weapons class, he couldn't gauge how powerful his classmates were because they were all suppressed but now he had some understanding of how powerful his classmates were.
After taking the evaluation, Mr. Yuki quickly dismissed the class, stating that he would need some time to evaluate the synergy of the class based on his observations and would commence the "real" training tomorrow.
After the ability training class, the students were finally able to take a break and have lunch in the cafeteria. So much had occurred in the first half of the day that the students just needed to unwind and recuperate a little.
The following classes were a bit boring for many as they were mostly about studies, but Mako was actually excited about those classes a lot.
Mako was busy in his thoughts, thinking about all the things he was excited to learn in history and other classes when all of a sudden he heard a familiar voice.
"Hey, Mako."
