Updating early again because the new storm queenie will strike again in midnight, it might or might not blackout again... so yeah.

The professors realized that the current Jaiden was useful to the Northeast right now. The only problem was that he was still both young and a student.

No matter how mystical and superhuman he was, a child would still be a child. So it bothered the professors, the rangers, and the knights to ask a child to do things that should only be done by someone in the general army.

However, those sitting at the top thought differently. It seemed like they wanted to confirm if the person who had come up with the idea had the capability.

Since he was the one who proposed methods that could be used by child soldiers it meant that he should be fully capable of using those said methods. So those at the top wanted him to prove the effectiveness of the methods by himself.

At first, they might think that it was a bit too much but if they looked at things closely, this might be an opportunity for him to prove himself and his worth.

Higher risks meant higher rewards. And if all of the 4th year students were able to successfully do this then they would all be rewarded handsomely. Jaiden might even be entitled to a medal once this became a success.

"Starting today, we will be going out to train and practice hunting large monsters. The only difference is that this practice exercise is just like an actual battle."

The professor looked at the children's confused looks when they did not react to his words.

"Prepare yourself just like you're fighting with a real large monster."

After the professor stepped down, the knights and rangers came forward.

"Hoo... Originally, it is our custom to only let you practice after we have half-killed the monsters but this time we're all going directly to the trolls' habitat. This is an order from above. You have to be more careful since your colleagues may lose their lives in this exercise. Remain vigilant."

The ranger who did not usually agree with the knight's words had given his agreement this time. He even solemnly added some of his own warnings.

"What you need to put first in this training is your survival, not the execution of the operation. Please keep that in mind."

"Yes!"

All the students answered the ranger loudly. There was a bit of trepidation coloring their faces now.

"Number 1."

"Huh?"

"Will this really work?"

Some of the nervous students turned to ask Jaiden on their way to the trolls' habitat with the rangers and the knights.
