Chương 48: His abilities
Back in the empire, the Reformation has become stricter and stricter as the Emperor had no intention of letting any spies slip by. The Empire needed to be protected, especially at this time when spies could have escaped and started spreading misinformation and so the people are not allowed to get out. Every citizen knew they had no choice but to obey. If there was anyone who didn't agree with this, they would face consequences. One small mistake and Empire would lose everything. Their freedom, their dignity, and their future. The entire Empire would be destroyed along with everything else that they have worked for. People were told to be vigilant of their surroundings. This was even more so for the military.
Marshall Wimbroase was personally overseeing the newly disciplined army. In front of him were noble children, interns from the Imperial Academy, who were used to having a luxurious life free from hardship, however, when the reformation start, they face brutal training regimens. With no news of the outside and have no means of entertainment they have no other things to do but to train every day.
They wake up early in the morning to start the warm-up and only have nutritional drinks for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They even have to undergo more physical combat since the new mechas have been configured differently. In addition to that, they also need to familiarize the new control system. But thankfully the controls were easier than expected so less work on that part. The mecha itself become their way of entertainment as it was something they haven't seen or tried.
It was the latest model that Maddox perfected, a step higher than the mecha configuration. It had a much faster output compared to other mechas, it is equipped with the mecha configuration algorithm but slightly more advanced coding which was easier for the soldiers to use. The mecha was connected using magnetic resonance so detaching each part become easier, in addition, they can control each part to attack enemies who are in meters away from them, which made the mecha flexible making it easier to mimic the human body. Since this was the case, the military started to advance their training for combat fights to fully integrate with the mecha, this was even more so for the interns as they lack experience in this area. They have focused more on their mechas and this greatly caused a gap for their bodies to grow not to mention that they were too reliant on the fact that they have S-class physic. The mecha could also be operated even without going inside. Using your ability and mental energy as the fuel you will be able to do so.
This newly formed mecha is called ''SE-AMC", it was Seven initials since his idea and algorithms arrangement was the base inspiration for the mecha.
The interns were now watching the sidelines as the soldiers of the 1st army run around the field room. This was the reason why they couldn't complain since the son of the marshall himself was doing an even more difficult practice.
He was not grouped with the interns but with the veteran soldiers of the first fleet. The training they undergo was different as they were simultaneously using their abilities while controlling their mecha and doing combat training.
...
Magus has been busy with his training. Because of the upcoming war, he need to be stronger than he was. He wanted to level up so badly but his power seem to disappoint him. Not only was it not showing any breakthrough, but it also seem to be suppressed even more.
As he was controlling the mecha from 100 meters away someone from the team almost hit his mecha, due to the massive disturbance he almost lost his connection to his mecha. Thankfully he was able to regain it just as it was about to hit the ground. He made his mecha stretch its arms toward the ground and push itself to stand up.
"hah!" he sigh in relief as he once again made his control toward the 110-meter mark.
"IS THAT ALL YOU CAN DO SOLDIERS. YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD BEFORE YOU COULD GO TO THE SAFE AREA. COME ON, MOVE IT!" the combat leader said as he saw others losing control of their energy making the mecha fall which resulted in others being affected.
"SIR, YES SIR!" they shouted and started once again. You could see sweat forming on their bodies as their clothes were soaked with it. However, they didn't stop as they were used to this.
The movements of their mecha were stiff and unrefined but if they were to compare it a month ago, their performance was better.
He tried to focus all his attention on his mecha but in truth, he was feeling restless every day. The mysterious power he once felt before was there again. This started when he learned that Seven was on his way to his closed-door training. He couldn't see him for the last time and couldn't even leave a message for him.
Magus began shifting his body to the side while slowly lifting his legs. His action was reflected in his mecha. When his knee was about the height of his shoulders, he made a swift move and kick the air. His thighs and legs were tight as his muscles contracted. He along with the other soldiers holds this pose for a minute.
Once it passes he lowers his legs and stabilizes his energy. He observes his energy and notices a faint hint of reddish glow mixed with the blues.
"This is not good" he whispered to himself.
...
"1...0 stop!" the commander said as he look at the time. As soon as he said zero, the soldiers collapse and rested on the ground, taken fully they the training room was built with the utmost care insuring that everything would not easily break from constant exposure to energy because if not, that room would surely collapse with all these Soldiers releasing their powers.
You could hear pants and deep sighs from everyone. They had undergone simultaneous training for four hours which was one hour higher than yesterday. Thankfully they were able to finish it. But they couldn't relax thinking that they would do the same thing again tomorrow.
After taking a rest, the soldier one by one left. Magus wipe the sweat off his face and was about to go get his things when the commander and his father called for him.
He saluted them first and the Marshall then said" at ease" before taking the chart that was handed by the commanding officer.
He looks at the chart one by one and by the looks of it, his result wasn't satisfactory.
"Magus your results today seem a lot worse than yesterday. Your mecha command is too rigid, be more flexible. Your focus seems to be elsewhere lately. Make sure to fix that" his father commented as he look at him.
"Yes Sir!" he answered and his father called out the next one.
As soon as they finish he immediately went to his room. He locked the doors and press the energy concealment to hide his overwhelming powers.
He clutches his chest as he felt the power inside him going out of control. Little by little, a dark red aura surged out of his chest. It was raging with anger as it try to come out but Magus was trying his very best to prevent it. He regulated his energy and a white golden glow covered his body.
This was his third ability, a holy light that could expel evil and has a healing ability. It didn't have much use except for keeping the dark energy inside him at bay and making him look holy.
He was confused about how to use this ability as he could not fully grasp its usage. Even the healing powers don't heal his wounds no matter how much he tries. He had to read countless books just to find any information about his abilities but could only find a book, a romance book to be exact. He was desperate and tried reading it. Contrary to his belief the story was good since it didn't focus on the romantic aspect but on the war that caused the main characters to meet. With this, he was able to know that holy powers are bestowed by God. The stronger your faith, the stronger your power becomes. It only works on evil entities like ghosts and other supernatural beings and heals the wound caused by these creatures. But where could he find those in this era, is God even real? He also hasn't heard of anyone having ghost-like abilities. The closest he could get to the evil entity was his other ability. The dark energy it omits was enough to make someone lose control of themselves.
He leans the bed and lets his body relaxes. He took a deep breath as he try to regulate his energy. Just as he was about to close his eyes, he heard a knock on his door. Though annoyed he still stand up and opened the doors. To his surprise, the person outside the door was nonother than his elder brother Eros. Not only that he was also wearing a soldier's uniform. Not just any uniform, it was those of a general.
"Brother, what are you doing here?"
