Chapter 13: Training [2]

During his 2 days of independence, even as Eliot tried to adapt and survive independently alongside brother, he also did some experiments.

One of these experiments was related to his support system.

“Umm, support system, can I use the system on others apart from myself?”

[An active request has been made!]

[You have unlocked Support System Gimmick: Snooping Tool!]

[Snooping Tool: This gimmick enables you to use the system to spy on other organism’s status.]

[NOTE: The requirements to use the snooping tool on a target is either be affiliated to said organism or get the permission of the said organism.]

After this, Eliot did not hesitate to use the snooping tool on brother.

Brother bonkers like Eliot approved of the system to call him was level 3 and it was clear, he was stronger than the current Eliot.

The most prominent of his stats though was his speed.

Apart from ex chief with a ridiculous speed of 15.5 and that one Salmon, brother bonkers was the fastest fish in the whole fish school.

That day, before the whole school, Eliot started his reforms.

“Currently, we’re 40 in number and we are more than enough to do more than swimming aimlessly in search of prey”.

“Today, I will be dividing the fish school into 3 major departments”.

“…!” All the fish looked on at their chief, confused but Eliot did not care.

He knew that he had a lot of explaining and teaching to do and he was ready for it, afterall he taught at a primary school before he became Professor Gagam’s assistant at the institute of evolutionary studies.

“From today, the fish school shall be divided into the attack department, the defense department, and the scouting department”.

“The attack department shall comprise of all the strongest fish in the school and they’ll be responsible for hunting and protecting the school”.

“The defense department shall comprise of the weakest fish in the school”.

“Their responsibility is to work on digging holes according to my instructions for the school, these holes shall be our bunker and shelter in times of trouble”.

“These holes can also serve as a mobile fortress for us if used right”.

“What’s mobile fortress?” They all asked.

“…!” If Eliot had a hand, he would scratch his head.

“Never mind, you’ll understand after its built”.

“As for the scouting department, they shall comprise of the absolute fastest fish in the school and I already have a candidate to become the commander of the scouting department”.

“Brother bonkers is the first commander of the scouting department”.

“…!” The fish were stunned at first but as the realization of this moment came in, they erupted in cheers.

“Commander Bonkers!”

“Commander Bonkers!”

[Snooping Tool Activated!]

Eliot used the snooping tool repeatedly as he meticulously went through the stats of all 39 fish in this school apart from himself.

In the end, he ended up dividing all remaining 37 fish apart from ex chief into departments as he also named commanders for the attack and defense departments.

The commander of the defense department was the fish with the best-balanced stats of the school, she was not spectacular in any stat but neither was she deficient in anyone in particular.

“From today, you shall not just be sister, you shall be sister Blinky”.

“Blinky?” This fish was stunned.

The others clearly didn’t care though as they cheered her on.

“Commander Blinky!”

“Commander Blinky!”

As for the commander of the attack department, this fish already caught Eliot’s eyes since his first day in this school. He was the biggest of all the fish asides ex chief and like ex chief, he was also level 5.

He was by far the strongest fish in the school, even more than chief.

Eliot wondered why this monster Salmon didn’t challenge chief for the title.

He looked at the huge Salmon who stood before him. “From today, you shall not just be called brother, you are now brother Bomber”.

“Commander Bomber!”

“Commander Bomber!”

The other fish hailed him on enthusiastically.

And that was the end of Eliot’s reforms, his ideal fish school was ready and the next thing on the agenda was to officially commence training.

His first focus was on the scouting department.

Eliot spent hours drilling into the heads of this fish the basics of scouting and organized retreat in the face of danger.

Having spent 2 days with him already, brother bonkers was able to catch up fast and in no time, Eliot finally felt comfortable leaving the training to them.

After the scouting department, he focused on the attack department.

They were arguably the most important department of the school.

The first thing that he drilled into their skulls was how they should react in the face of danger.

Instead of screaming danger and running haphazardly like ex chief already drilled into them, he spent a long-time drilling into them that the best strategy was to calm down and analyze the situation.

They were no longer individual Salmon fish.

Now, they were the protectors of this school and they had to live up to expectations. Eliot taught them basic attacking strategies that he thought up on the spot that he deemed convenient for a group of attacking Chinook Salmon.

Like he expected, brother bomber was the best learner of the combat basics by a margin as in a few days, he was able to master the basics.

During these days, Eliot did not neglect the defense department as in those locations that he identified as ideal for the Salmons to hide, led by commander Blinky, the weaker fish worked hard to dig clever holes that could fit them.

During these days of training, Eliot only allowed the absolute minimum hunting to just make ends meet in terms of calories needed for day-to-day activities of the school and the attack department took care of this admirably.

The training needed to be complete before he was confident of leading his new followers into the dangerous expanse of the Thunder Reef.

Like the rolling pages of a book, training took time as the days rolled over.

And in no time, it was already a week and 5 days since Eliot was reincarnated into this world of Utopia.

And finally, the fish school’s training was complete.

On that day, Eliot summoned ex chief who he already made his assistant.

It was time to go into the world and conquer.
