Chapter 232: Team Leader (2)

The training continued for several days. Each day, Bloed and the others learned survival methods with Javelin's father in the morning, tactics and strategies with the lionkin general in the afternoon, and finally, they were gruesomely beaten by Regina in the night.

Sometimes, Eve would fight the group instead of Regina, but the results were the same. In fact, for four days, Bloed's group did not win even once.

However, it did not mean they did not show progress.

Quite the opposite, the time they could endure under Regina's attacks increased from thirty seconds to almost twenty minutes!

It was unbelievable progress considering it happened in just five days.

And the cornerstone of that progress was Bloed.

In fact, after the second day of training, the four instructors unanimously decided to make Bloed the leader of the team.

Not just them, but even the other five representants also agreed to that.

It was due to Bloed's outstanding performance during the training.

When it came to the survival training, Javelin's father sighed saying that he had nothing to teach Bloed. He even asked Bloed where he learned his survival abilities.

It was not as though Bloed could tell him he learned them after surviving several years in the exiled lands, though.

The situation was similar when it came to the lessons of tactics and strategy. Bloed's [Enhanced Brain Capability] made him very suited to this.

In fact, after the second class, the lionkin general sighed and said Bloed could become a very successful general if he followed this path.

And when it came to the practical lessons, Bloed took the position of the brains of the team.

He would stay in the rearguard to direct the movements of the team and support them with his guns and Oculus.

Occasionally, he would also take the frontlines with his saber.

This setup greatly increased the team's fighting abilities. In fact, they even managed to injure Regina several times during the training.

Despite that, though, they never managed to defeat her.

Bloed did not find it strange. In the end, Regina was a Valkyrie, a war machine. Plus, her ESP ability was very powerful and versatile. Although [Energy Materialization] was not as powerful as Bloed's [Molecular Disintegration], Regina could use her ESP ability at will while Bloed could barely use it.

And tonight, it was their last battle against Regina.

Regina was moving quickly through the training grounds. Moreover, her speed increased and decreased irregularly, making her movements difficult to predict.

But the team did not panic. The one that went to face her was Liu Ying, who took the role of vanguard.

Activating her aspect, she stood in front of Regina, receiving her attack head-on.

*Boom!*

Regina and Liu Ying clashed, creating a powerful shockwave that shook the training grounds.

In terms of strength. Liu Ying was stronger. But Regina managed to parry most of her strength away and counterattacked with a slash of her blade.

However, a spear suddenly appeared and stopped the blade. Greta did not stop with just that, though. With a shout, she created several blades of wind that flew towards Regina.

Regina jumped back and retaliated creating several energy arrows that stopped the wind blades. Suddenly, though, she jumped back once more.

Instantly, the place where she was just a moment ago exploded.

It was Rhone. He extended his hands, shooting several sonic bombs from the rear that forced Regina to keep moving to avoid them.

But while she was avoiding the attacks, her expression changed.

Without hesitation, she tried to jump away.

But it was too late. At some point, her feet had been entangled by metallic sand!

Then, several arcs of electricity flashed in the metallic sand and attacked her body!

Unfortunately, this attack was not useful against Regina. Her ESP ability, [Energy Materialization], made her almost immune to electricity.

Thus, she stomped on the ground, blowing the metallic sand away. But due to that, she was unable to avoid one of the sonic bombs created by Rhone!

Aware that she could not avoid the attack at this point, Regina created an energy barrier around her to stop the sonic attack.

But to her surprise, the barrier was unable to stop it!

It was due to Rana. As soon as Regina cast the energy barrier, she also cast a spell.

[Dispersion]!

A spell she learned yesterday just to face Regina's energy barrier!

*Boom!* The sonic bomb hit Regina, creating a cloud of dust. The group did not celebrate, however. They knew this was not enough to take care of the silver-haired girl.

And as they expected, a figure broke from the cloud of dust at the next instant, rushing towards Rana.

Rana cast several mana arrows hurriedly, but Regina moved like a swallow and evaded them, arriving in front of Rana in an instant.

But when she tried to knock her out, a shadow appeared from Rana's back and stabbed two bone daggers towards the Valkyrie.

Atai!

He had hidden behind Rana since the start of the battle waiting for this opportunity.

Regina's eyes flashed coldly. Even in this situation, she remained completely calm.

Her body twisted weirdly, abandoning the attack to Rana and avoiding the daggers by a narrow margin.

Then, she lifted her leg and unleashed a kick towards Atai.

However, a barrier of metallic sand appeared to stop her kick. At the same time, the metallic sand wrapped around her legs and stopped her movements.

Then–

*Boom!*

Oculus shot a plasma ray from the sky, hitting Regina's directly.

For the first time, Regina's expression changed.

Without hesitation, she cast several barriers over her. However, the barriers were destroyed one after another in less than one second.

But that one second was enough for Regina to escape from the epicenter of the attack.

However, a spear attack was waiting for her when she escaped.

When she avoided it, Liu Ying punched the ground close to her, forcing Regina to jump to not lose her balance.

However, several sonic bombs attacked her airborne figure. Not just it, but Rana also unleashed tens of flame arrows towards her!

"Not yet!"

With a shout, Regina unleashed an energy shockwave that blew away all the attacks coming towards her.

Then, she used that opportunity to recover her balance.

Suddenly, though, she felt something sharp against her back.

Regina was stunned. When she looked behind her, she saw the figure of a blue-haired young man materialize slowly. One of his hands was pressing a saber against Regina's back, and the other was pressing a gun against the back of her head.

"Checkmate." Bloed smiled and said.

Regina chuckled softly and nodded.

"You are right, it's your win, master."
