I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 105: Joint Combat Training

Another few months pass by, the war against Monster Overlord is prolonged. The reason is the mobility of 7th-grade combatants. To safely fight against Monster Overlord at least need two seventh-grade combatants. Another one needs to successfully kill it.

This means it needs at least three big nations to work together to kill the Monster Overlord. However, there are still countless high-grade monsters and undead monsters which need at least another two seventh-grade combatants to keep them at bay.

In total, they need at least five-nation leaders or seven grade combatants to fight against the Monster Overlord army. Even the elf race didn't have such a power to handle all of this alone.

Since the last Monster Overlord attack, most of the big nations have had internal problems that cause some instability in their nations. Some of them even in the state of civil war. Furthermore, there is an economic crisis that has plagued all over the nations.

Because of this reason, most of the seventh-grade combatants or nation leaders couldn't move and end the war against the monster overlord. It is difficult to gather five seventh-grade combatants on the spot.

Since it is concerned with a lot of people's lives, every decision and major move needs to be thought carefully. Moreover, up till now, the Monster Overlord is not coming out as if waiting for something.

The monster side only launched a small skirmish attack towards the surrounding nation near the Holy Alliance nations. Although it is small, it still consists of a horde of various kinds of monsters and undead monsters.

Fortunately, with the supply of and help from other nations, these countries managed to survive and become a sort of defense for other nations.

In the meantime the nation fell into a stalemate state with an unpredictable future, Angus still having a peaceful life inside the academy.

Now, he is having a combat training course. However, it is not his usual combat training course where he will learn about spells.

After getting specialized into different classes, the student will have joint combat training every once in a while. They will be randomly matched into groups to work together.

For low-grade combatants, they need to work in groups to increase their survival chance when they are fighting monsters. It is also a basic principle since only seventh-grade people usually fight alone.

So, Teamwork is essential for survival, especially fighting against monsters. This way the student will at least have the basic skill to work together when they will go through a dungeon examination.

Angus got teamed with two students from Warrior Class, one from Hybrid Class, and Millie. After getting teamed together by the teacher, there is some kind of awkward silent atmosphere as nobody says anything.

After a while, "Alright, let's introduce our name first. My name is Guile Lambert. I am from the warrior class and good at close combat fights." said one of the students.

"Next is me. My name is Vindict Vallen. I am also from the warrior class. I am good at defense and shielding." said the student next to Guile.

"My name is Isbel Boston. I am from the hybrid class. I am good at close and medium-range combat." said the girl beside Vindict.

"Um.. My name is Millie Golberg. I am from a magician class. I am good at low circle fire-based spells and long-range attacks. I am looking forward to working with you." said Millie shyly.

"*Yawn* Alright, My name is Angus Victory. From magician class." said Angus lazily.

Everyone is looking at Angus like waiting for something. Feeling the stare, "Umm.. What's it?" asked Angus confusedly.

"Aren't you supposed to say what you are good at?" asked Guile.

"Well, I am good at… dodging." replied Angus.

"Dodging??" asked everyone back confusedly.

"Angus, they mean what spell you are good at." said Millie.

However, at this time the teacher called them to gather around.

"Alright, everyone. You already took five minutes to introduce yourself. Now, you will have spar from one group towards others." said the muscular teacher.

Soon, the Angus group paired with another group to have a spar. Angus didn't recognize any student in their opposed group.

Soon, the teacher called their turn to enter the circular platform. All the students immediately go into their position. Since this is a mock battle with the mind of real combat, they used real weapons.

The warrior and Hybrid class students began to take out their weapons from their storage device while the magician class took some distance in the back.

"Alright, the rules are simple, you will fight for five minutes. the one that activates their defensive barrier or gets out of the platform is disqualified." said the teacher.

After the student gets into battle position, "Start!!" said the teacher.

The opposed warrior and hybrid student class begin to fight in close combat range with Guile and the others. While the opposed magician class immediately chanted their spell.

Looking at this, Millie also wants to prepare to cast her spell to counter them. As for Angus, he looked at the battle silently.

'Haa… What kind of stupid defender that jump into the front?' thought Angus while looking at Vindict that charged at another student.

Soon, The other magician student cast [Fireball] towards Millie. Millie also did not stay still and cast back [Fireball] towards the approaching attack.

The two [Fireball] hit each other and create an impact on the surroundings. *BANG* The shockwave pushed the nearby student and got them staggered for a moment.

But, another [Fireball] coming towards Millie from the other magician student. Like predicting this will happen, Angus shot a [Firebolt] towards the [Fireball] and made it explode in the air. *BANG*

Angus still looked silently towards the other magician students. The other magician student was stunned and didn't know what to do. They plan to take out the magician before helping the warrior and hybrid student.

However, Angus could easily counter their [Fireball] attack with [Firebolt] like he is predicting the course of its path. [Fireball] spell is famous for its lethality. However, the spell is so fragile that other 1st Circle spells could destroy it.

Now, the opposed magician student didn't know what to do and came into a stalemate. During this moment, Guile managed to beat the other student and activate his opponent barrier which made him lose.

After that, Guile helps his friend Vindict fight his opponent. Looking at this, Angus couldn't help but slap his head.

'You should help Isbel or attack the magician student. Why did you help Vindict who is focused on defending.' thought Angus inwardly.

"Hey, Magician why are you not helping?" said the opposed warrior student.

Hearing this, the opposed magician students begin to chant and aim to help their teammates. Looking at this, Millie also prepares to cast another spell.

"Millie cast [Fireball] after they cast their spell." said Angus silently.

Hearing this startled Millie but she still did what Angus said. Soon, the magician cast their [Fireballs] towards Guile. Using this moment, Angus shot [Firebolt] towards one of the Fireballs and created an explosion. *Bang*

The explosion made the other [Fireball] explode on its way and staggered the opposed warrior student. *Bang* Suddenly, Millie cast [Fireball] towards the defenseless and exhausted magician students. *Bang* The impact managed to activate their protective barrier.

Using this chance, Guile also knocked his opponent. Soon, they help Isbel and win the mock battle.

Then, they got called by the teacher and were criticized. Vindict being criticized for jumping to the front line, Guile being criticized for poor decision-making in the spar. As for Isbel, she is being criticized for the way she fights.

The magician student and Millie got lectured to not use only 2 circles in a fight. Angus got lectured to be proactive in battle which he ignored and quickly got away.

The other student spar is quite boring for Angus but they have more development in skills or spells. The only noteworthy fight is between Jayna's team and Ian's team.

The result is truly one side defeated. After having a few months of help from Angus to control her body and mana, her movement, skills, and spells are more refined.

Combined that she is the only one that already forming mana core makes her could spam skill and overpower the other student.

After the joint combat training, the student got free time until lunchtime. Most of them have already exhausted all their mana and couldn't do anything.

Taking this time, Angus takes a big book from Angus's wristwatch storage and reads it under the shade of a nearby tree.

As Angus begins to read, Jayna suddenly approaches Angus which gathers everyone's attention. After getting her emotions in check along with her maturity, she becomes more attractive and always gathers everyone's attention everywhere she goes.

"Angus, I already managed to do this." said Jayna as she raised her finger.

Above her finger, she finds a thin long thread made of mana. Looking at this, he notices how talented Jayna is. To create an extension mana outside the body is a difficult task. Yet Jayna still could do it in just a few months.

"Alright, next is…"
