"So finally come up with a plan yet?" I asked.
"Just polishing the plan Master"
"Looks like your students are giving everything they got" Sora said as she elbowed by side.
I just smiled.
"I can't wait to see the outcome of this fight without Sora lending her precious stone" Draxx said.
"Blehhh!" Sora being childish.
Moments after my students finally come up with a plan.
"Master we all gave our hearts and thoughts to this plan”.
"That's true Master we gave it our all surely we will not fail you."
"Really? Then proceed"
They talked first to the assassins about the plan afterwards the assassins went to their positions.
The lady assassins and a portion of the second-floor assassins battled the tank. Then a small opening from different directions makes the killers landed a fatal blow and easily hide themselves. The tank manages to continue and slams the assassins to the ground.
The assassins are getting all exhausted then light struck the tank's eyes binding her. The assassins went to the flag and tried capturing it, but they got trapped. The tank is finally back to her senses and started throwing the assassins away.
Then the light struck the tank once more, but she tried evading then the killers and the agile assassins made their move to capture the flag. The tank tried to stop them but failed.
The assassins all rejoiced upon taking the flag. They all felt relieved.
"That's not the real flag" Sora said.
"Yes, the real flag has my signature on it to avoid confusion" I said.
The assassins quickly checked the flag and Sora is correct there is no signature in the flag. The top knights finished off their opponents but all of them are too exhausted to fight.
"Tell us Sora where did you hid the real flag?" I asked.
"On the third floor behind the room behind the sniper"
"It is heavily trapped with machine guns that will automatically fire when the door is moved."
"Wise thinking for a Tank instructor" said by one of my Strategist.
"Well thank you."
"It is much appreciated."
"Don't flatter yourself" Draxx said.
"So, no one got the right decision."
"Yeah, we got outsmarted."
"You don't have to say that again."
"Ah ha!"
"Well back to the drawing board"
"So, what have you all learned in this exercise?" I asked.
"Think of the unexpected"
"All ways follow your instincts."
"Think outside the box"
"Now your enemies"
"Remember to check on your teammates from time to time”.
And so many more coming from my students
"I think you all learned a lot today so better have a rest and let's go eat dinner."
"Come on" I waved my hand as a sign to follow me.
"Sora nice game" Draxx said.
"Well, I am the daughter of the general of course besides your students are still learning" Sora said.
"You're right"
"Now order your assassins and let them carry me up to the teachers table."
"Isn't that too much?"
The two started to quarrel.
"Shall we stop them Headmaster?" The students asked.
"No let them they are grownups; they will figure it out for themselves."
"Come on let's go I am getting hungry by the way”.
The students and I went to the cafeteria.
"Might we eat with you Master?"
"Well yeah but not in this table because it is strictly for instructors only."
"Let's move to another table shall we”.
We all sat down and eat.
"Master how did you manage to have such many fragments."
"We are curious on how you are using it and how you summon those pets."
"Well, you see I am a descendant of our family. We all gather these fragments to battle of the demons."
"And about those pets you are talking about. They are actually called Divine Beast a manifestation of the Elemental Fragment's powers."
"How about the armor Ms. Sora is using?"
"Ahh they are called Sacred Gears. Those are special weapons. You can only use a gear if you unlocked it."
"Do you have a Sacred Gear Master?"
"Yeah, I have tons, but this rifle is my favorite. It is actually my family's heirloom that is passed down generation to generation."
"Cool I wish I had an Elemental Fragment”.
"Me too"
"I can't wait for the semester to end and get one of those."
"Who says you are the one getting it?"
"Yeah"
The students begun to quarrel.
"Settle down kids we still have a long time to improve but now you must all do your best to be on top”.
"As if they are going to beat me."
"Oh yeah"
"Yeah"
They started quarreling again.
"This will be a long semester" I said followed by a long sigh.
"I can't wait to see all of these students be a Master of their craft."
Noon and the sun are on its peak. The assassins are all ready as they follow the commands of my Strategists.
"Okay our first scenario is infiltrating the enemy base without knowing there is a sniper”.
The first plan is to send the most agile group. By taking a route at the sides they will push through the lady’s territory, but the frontline of tanks and knights intercepted them.
Then a follow up command of throwing a barrage the frontline got them by surprised
"I see making them as a decoy to group the frontline into a trap."
"Whoever voted for this has great thinking."
The second plan is sending the killers to make a path in the frontline. They manage to dodge the upcoming bullets and manages to take down the enemy frontline, but they are drained in the process.
"You see what's wrong here. You focused all your attention in penetrating the frontline."
"The killer group is designed for the last entry to secure the win."
"Whoever voted this plan is wrong."
Some Strategists are removed from the competition.
The third plan is to go at the roof like the assassins planned. By making a decoy entry, the three groups soar into the air. The gunners are all blinded, and the assassins landed with minimal casualties.
"Whoever voted for this plan worked but I liked the first one better."
"You see in making an entry you must also have a back-up plan."
"Don't relay everything to your ace. Remember a king is the greatest fighter in a kingdom. The king together with his elite guards are the final resort in terms of war."
"Now for scenario two. Finding the flag"
