Chapter 35 - Strategy Was The Key To Success



"Alright, the first thing we do is organize our new formation. First, we are going to check our abilities, now because I am the magician I will be on the right side. Liang Meifen will be on the right side and Yang Lanying will be in the middle as she will be the main range damage at the enemy. Fan Qingge will be in the middle that will protect our archer. And at the further back is Is you Ru Jin because you are long-range damage so I expect a lot of firepower from long-range and far-away enemies will be your target. Don't worry about the enemies that are within the archer range worry about the enemies that are out of the archer range. Sisters do you get our formation"

Sun Li raised her staff as a representation to encourage her sisters to fight.

And all of them shouted "Yes, Ma'am!" as their reply. After that plan formation, they carefully initiated it with a practice dome. "Alright let's do this!" Ling Meifen said as she grips her staff of healing, All of them started buffing themselves. With their class buffs. Starting with Sun Li,

"Armored Earth!" she cast as he pointed her staff on the ground and the rocks suddenly move towards Sun Li forming a rock armor increasing her defense.

After she said that she then cast another buff she then pointed at the ground and swing his staff around "Earth Shield!" after saying that it created a wall-like structure surrounding all of them.

"Defiant call!" she raised her sword and the sword's plain white aura change to pink and then she felt the increase of defense in her whole body. "Last Sword Call!" as she swings her sword left and right she felt that her attack damage increased.

"Find Weakness!" Yang Lanying shouted as she pulls the string off her bow and aims it at the place where the enemies are going to come. "Holy Blessing!" Liang Meifen shouted as she raised her staff and all of them got a health buff which able to heal their skin wounds and not too deep wounds.

"Blind Aim" Jin whispered and the XDR-rifle imitating aura change to pink and then he whispered again "Deep breath" now that he felt that his accuracy and damage output has increased.

[ENEMY WILL NOW ATTACK!] the announcement said as there was a sound of sirens and after the sirens, the door opens. And the first to step from the dark was a troll. The first troll roared with anger and saw that it is a human in front of it and it did not hesitate to attack the humans in front of it. Sun Li raised her want and whispered " Earth Slam!"

She quickly cast and two big blocks of rock suddenly raised from the two sides of the troll and slammed together in the same direction. Stunning the troll and making it unconscious. Follow to that was Fan Qingge charging and leaping forward while raising her sword as the death blow "Defiant Slash!" and as she swings her sword it was at the location of the weakness of the troll at the head.

The sword slashed through the thick skin and was able to cut deep making the blood of the troll gushed out from the wound. Fan Qinge leaps back as the troll soon pixelated and vanishes in thin air.

"Alright guys we are able to fend that off we are sure to win this practice simulation!" Sun Li shouted. After the troll vanishes another monster reveals itself but it was not a single monster but an entire group of 10 ghouls and 20 types of 2 ghouls.

"Archer!" Sun Li shouted and Yang Lanying nodded the same with Jin. "Volley Arrow!" Yang Lanying raised her bow at a 45-degree angle and then let go of the string with one arrow it soon became an entire volley.

And after she let that first arrow go she then gets another arrow from her quiver and then pulls the string again with the arrow and shouted "Rapid Arrow Fire!" and after that, the arrow tip metal suddenly became hot and soon fire lit it. Yang Lanying then lets go of the arrow and as it was in the air it became also a volley of arrows.

The first volley landed and it slowed 10 ghouls and 5, type 2 ghouls as they were shot with that skill. And then the final kill came with the second volley of fire arrows. The ghouls scream in pain as they were shot by that skill, soon they were burned in a fire and died dropping on the ground. And became pixelated and vanish. Now the last remaining enemies were 9, type 2 ghouls.

"Now Ru Jin!" Sun Li Shouted. Jin raised his XDR-rifle and put his finger at the trigger aimed at the 5, type 2 ghouls that were waiting for a perfect chance to attack but they were too late as Jin was have already locked his target onto them.

[Triggering Skill usage chosen] {Registered Skill] [Firing Skill: Dual Burst Fire ]

and Jin pressed the trigger followed that the emitting aura of the XDR-rifle change into orange and the power being materialized at the end of the barrel fired *PHEWW* and it trailed with the beam of light and w it landed on the location were all 5, type 2 ghouls were going to die. And as it impacted it then exploded *BOOM* the but the fight was not yet over as the black smoked was gone the other 4, type 2 ghouls were still alive.

So like earlier Jin fired again and but in a different location the location where he predicted where the 4, type 2 ghouls are going to charge in and attack their flank. Jin pressed the trigger [Triggering Skill usage chosen] [Registered Skill] [Firing Skill: Dual Burst Fire ] [Second Shot] and the beam of light fired *Phewww* and when it landed on the ground it exploded. *Boom* as expected all ghouls were burned as they were hit perfectly. "Well done gunner" Sun Li exclaimed as she focused on the next monster.

[Warning Boss monster is being spawned] {Boss Monster: Volcanic Minion level 24]

"Are they really going to do this to us they are going to make us fight a Volcanic Minion that is level 24?" Fan Qingge shouted as she felt cheated on by one of the officers in the simulator scene.

And then there was an announcement from the control panel, "Attention, I am Captain Li Dong, My dear 12th Squire Squad I was deeply moved by your strategy and formation this volcanic minion is for the groups training for the upcoming mission hope that all of you will learn from this battle that every time you fight a monster your life is on the line."

"What are we your lab rats geez" Jin whispered as he looked at the camera that was focusing on the group. But as he looked at the girls he saw that they too were moved by the officer's words.

"Mhm, I felt that I am going to be reassigned once again." He whispered. And then they all turned around and focused on the volcanic minion. "Now, that we are here once again! Let's go girls! Let's finish this fight"

Sun Li raised her staff and shouted "Earth Wall!" and an earth wall was suddenly created surrounding them, now there are two earth fortifications that are surrounding them. "Gunner!" Sun Li shouted. Jin reloaded his XDR-rifle and after he reloaded his XDR-rifle he quickly aimed his rifle to the shoulder of the volcanic Minion.

The shoulder part is connecting to the arm. [Triggering Skill usage chosen] {Registered Skill] [Firing Skill: Dual Burst] And Jin puts his finger at the trigger and the emitting aura from plain blue quickly changes to orange and the force of electricity like power was materializing at the end of the barrel and when Jin felt that the power is strong to destroy the thick layered skin of the volcanic minion.

Jin pressed the trigger and the XDR-rifle fired *Pheww* the electricity trail the beam of light and hitting the shoulder arm join of the volcanic minion. And once in impact, it inflicted great damage it cut off the arm of the volcanic minion. Reducing its capabilities to cast magic. The Officer inside the control panel were all shocked as they did not know about this weakness.

"What is happening how come our magic casting was reduced to 50%! What is happening!" one of the control officers shouted. "Out ability power casting is also reduced to 50% if we cast a spell our ability power will be dying and our magma core will explode it will make the 12th Squire squad the first one to win this simulation at their batch."

The officer in charge looked at the captain and said "Look what you have done captain. Are you going to explain to me what are you looking at?" And the captain quickly replied

"You see the ability skill of the gunner that they have. He was an amazing shooter I really want him in my name group squad."

But as soon as the captain said that the officer in charge replied "We cannot do that Sir." And the captain looked angry as he looked at the officer in charge. "What are you saying you can't give me that candidate?"

The officer in charge continues to give out orders to fix the problem about the volcanic minion and ignoring the captain.

On the ground, Sun Li was stunned at what Jin has done She thought that Jin missed so She shouted again. "Gunner fire!" and Jin pressed the trigger of the XDR-rifle *Pheww* and it fired once again hitting the shoulder that was connecting the arm joint. And on impact, it exploded BOOM the explosion made the control panel officer control lost vision because of the dust.

"Sir we can no longer cast magic! We are defenseless and we can no longer attack them Sir!" the officer in charge looked embarrassed at what he was seeing. "What is going on! How come a squire candidate is able to fire that accurately! Tell me! Does that candidate have 100+ intelligence or something?!" he shouted at the officers that were sitting on the panel and controlling the volcanic minion.

While on the ground "Jin why are you missing? Why can you hit the head of the volcanic minion or its body don't you know it's much important to kill the enemy by cutting its head or doing a headshot. Geez, you are really a newbie gunner!" Sun Li shouted so she ordered Yang Lanying to fire at the head of the volcanic minion.

"Alright, got it!" She grabbed an arrow from her quiver and she aimed at the head of the volcanic minion. "Penetrating Arrow!" after saying that she easily lets go of the string and the arrows fire. And it was a clear perfect headshot ripping off the head of the volcanic minion.

"Alright officers, this is our loss make the Volcanic minion kneel." The officer in charge said. ``How come that candidate knows one of the weaknesses of the volcanic minion. Cutting off its main source of offense. He an amazing candidate, so that's why he is being guarded by one of the higher-ups...``
