Chapter 309 Specialized Training Courses

The group enjoyed a delicious and nutritious meal before going their separate ways to visit the various special training centers that they wanted to sign up for.

Each center's location and timings were mentioned in the information tab within the ID card. Since these courses were considered extras, they didn't contribute towards the student's grades or rewards which didn't really provide a great incentive for them to take more than one as they would rather use their free time training and becoming stronger which was monitored and rewarded for.

Additionally, there were many time clashes between the courses as several of them took place at the same time making it impossible for a cadet to attend all of them, but as per Angela's own words, every class had its own importance and value and it was up to the student which class they wanted to attend depending on which career path they wanted to pursue.

Mako wasn't quite sure which career path he wanted to pursue as now he had far greater responsibilities. Before he had received the system, Mako had aimed to become a space lieutenant which was a great rank to achieve considering his capabilities at that time, but now Mako had a far greater responsibility and for him to achieve his goals, he had to become a prominent and powerful being among the military ranks.

Of the special training courses available, several had caught Mako's eye and he wanted to visit all of them before making a decision.

Firstly, he checked out the ability and combat training classes which were taught by the same teachers as his normal classes; Mr Yuki and Miss Mei respectively.

The basic skills and ability mastery class was only going to teach the cadets about the strengths and weaknesses of most common abilities alongside training to gain a basic mastery over these abilities; however, this didn't include rare abilities like Mako's Energy Manipulation ability leaving him with no guidance on how to master this strong ability.

The special training course for ability mastery on the other hand focuses on this very aspect as Mr. Yuki provided personal guidance and training to students who possessed all kinds of rare abilities which were difficult to grow and master.

Similarly, the basic combat class only taught the cadets basic fighting and defensive forms and techniques, highlighting their uses and the correct time to use which technique and form.

The standardized forms and techniques taught in class were designed to be accessible to everyone, but they didn't always cater to individual differences like strength, body type, and abilities. This meant that some students struggled to find techniques that truly suited them and could effectively incorporate these factors into their fighting style. As a result, it became challenging to personalize training to match each student's unique attributes, potentially limiting their overall progress.

The special training course for combat was similar to ability mastery in which Miss Mei would examine each student individually and recommend the best techniques and forms that suited their profile and would them fight ideally.

*****************

As Mako walked out of the dojo-like room that was the training room for the special combat class, Mako quickly realized that all of these special courses were actually just the regular courses that they were promised to receive when they were still in the special class.

It all clicked inside Mako's head as he figured out the system that the military had set up. It was obvious that children born into strong and rich families had an edge over others and it wasn't easy to bridge the gap between them.

Of course, strong cadets were going to receive special treatment but the military school was set up in a way that anyone with a strong determination and resistance could climb the ranks. This was why these additional classes were available to the cadets and a reward system was put in place so that the cadets with poor circumstances but potential could put in some extra effort and work hard to elevate their status.

consuming as it would take cadets a long time before they started to see minimal results.

This was partly the reason why very few cadets from the whole advanced class had signed up for this course as it didn't promise quick results and sounded boring. Most cadets wanted to become strong and flashy which was why the combat and ability mastery classes were the most popular picks.

Another reason was also the fact that many cadets didn't even fully understand what it meant to understand and influence pure mana. Like Commander Malik had explained to them earlier today, mana was the coding language of the universe so learning it or even attempting to understand it would be difficult but the rewards at the end of this dark and long tunnel were very great.

There wasn't a time schedule mentioned for the mana training class which was a bit odd, but Mako just put it at the back of his mind for the time being as he would inquire about it once he visited the training center, but first he decided to visit the special power weapons class to learn more before deciding which of the two he would sign up for.

Mako traveled back to the main campus as the special power weapons class took place in the exact same weapons hall in which he took his regular class today in the morning.

He entered the hall expecting to see a couple of cadets browsing around and asking the teacher questions about the course just like he had seen in every other training room he had entered; however, the moment that he entered the room, the door shut off behind him and several system notifications appeared in front of Mako's eyes.

[The user has been suppressed]

[User is too weak to overcome the effects of the suppression]

[Whilst suppressed, the user's body is denied mana, therefore preventing him from using any of their abilities or their skills.]

[Passive activation of ability aura has also been blocked, hence the user is unable to receive the bonus in attributes that come with keeping the aura of an ability active]

[Leave the range of the suppressor to regain the ability to access and manipulate mana]
