It's too soon.
What is it Ruby?
When a team completed their first mission they are eligible to not only claim for a dorm but also they are eligible to enter Academy's warehouse, main library and they will also get the right to challenge other teams who have completed atleast one mission.
Who are the challengers captain?
They are from team 7.
Did they given any information about battle arena?
Let me take a look.
Yes, they given it's name. It is the Pillars of Octagram.
That's great we are lucky captain.
Why are we lucky Ruby?
It is an arena which is a disadvantage for normal shooters because trainees can hide behind pillars but it has good advantage for sharp shooters like Stella, Itsuki and Aninda.
They can hide and shoot perfectly. If we made a good strategy we can use pillars to their advantage.
I can also use sword.
But Itsuki wouldn't it be better for you to snipe?
No Ruby I like to use sword and gun at the same time.
Ok. Well every one has their own combat style.
Captain how about we go to the Academy's Warehouse to choose weapons for our battle.
Yeah. We need to pick suitable weapons for the battle and at night we should discuss our team plan.
Everyone let's go to the Warehouse.
(At Academy's Warehouse.)
Team-16 went near receptionist of warehouse.
We want some equipment for our team battle.Were can we pick them?
Are you their captain?
Yes.
There are ten levels in this warehouse.
Every level represent the number of missions you have completed.
How many missions did you completed?
We completed one mission.
Then you are qualified to take equipment from only level-1 base of the warehouse.
Take the lift over there and go to floor -1.
Thank you
Team-16 took the lift and went to level-1 base.
Wow! It's so big in here.
I too am thinking same John.
Then Ronny let's go over there and look for some equipment.
Ok let's go over there John.
Captain we want to go over there to look for our equipment.
Ok.Everyone disperse and look for your equipment. Let's meet here after an hour.
John and Ronny went togather.
Itsuki, Stella and Aninda went to look for better photon guns.
Arjun and Brown went together to look for their equipment.
Indra and Ruby went together to look for their equipments.
So captain what do you want to use for the battle?
I am thinking of using my duel-wielding. So I am going to look for better Photon blades.
What about you?
I was trained to use short-swords. I too am a duel-wielder but I use short-swords.
Captain why don't you try Photon swords?
What are they?
I can't believe how little knowledge you have. In Photon blades both edges of the blade uses photon energy which emit high heat so you can cut better from both sides but in photon swords only one side emit photon energy.
But doesn't that mean sword is weaker than blade.
Only if the other edge of sword is not used.
See in photon swords other edge is used for different purposes. Like in some cases some soldiers customize their sword's second edge to have magnetic field. They will activate it when it is necessary.
Imagine in middle of battle they suddenly activated the magnetic side and due to magnetic field metal objects in opponent suit will be attracted and opponent movement will be disrupted. Then there will be opening to strike.
Oh I see. Then I will go for Photon swords I know the exact thing I should do now. Thanks for the advice Ruby.
You are welcome captain.
After an hour every met.
Did everyone got what they wanted?
Yes captain.
Let's go back to the dorm.
At the training room of the dorm.
So everyone show me what you brought.
Captain I going to use a Photon-pistol and and a photon blade.
Ok itsuki.
Me and Aninda going use normal sniper rifles. Even though they don't shoot photon beams they have their own strength.So we are going to be the snipers of our team.
Me and Brown gonna use photon blade and a titanium alloyed shield.
What about you Ronny and John?
Captain we are gonna go with hand to hand combat.
No.You will be at a disadvantage without a weapon.
We indeed have a weapon captain.We are going to use quillium gloves.
What are those?
They are.. Umm.. Strong gloves captain. They can even resist photon blade strikes.
Ok if you are comfortable with them just go with them.
Thanks captain.
As you know captain,
I am gonna go with photon shot-swords.
And I am going to go with Photon swords.
To make a strategy I first studied about team-7.
They also completed only one mission like us.
Since their mission involved combat we got a basic information about their teams individual weapons and combat style.
Their leader is an A-class, uses duel-wielding Photon blade.
Another A-class uses One handed sword style with a Photon sword.
Both of their B-class trainees are shooter.
One C-class uses hand to hand combat and other uses two shields as his weapon of choice.
Both of their D-class trainees one handed photon blade users.
Finally their S-class trainee. She uses a scythe.
Since we know their weapons and combat style.
Now let's start with making a strategy...
