He selected an exotic sword, a pair of exotic daggers, 2 rapid-fire automatic pistols, a 2-form gun, and exotic armor.
“I’m ready man,” he thought excitedly after getting the pieces of equipment he wanted.
“This is what it feels like to be badass," his expression slowly morphed into a grin. "Man, let’s do this”.
The automatic pistols he selected this time are not like the ones they were given for the second training.
These are entirely different beasts, as they use bullets with a very strong punch and can release 20 bullets per second. The 2-form gun is one of the results of the technological advancement of this century.
A 2-form gun is a gun that has 2 forms, and they can be changed manually or verbally to the form you want. The 2 forms of the gun he chose are a sniper rifle and a machine gun.
The badass armor he chose was also a result of this era’s technological breakthroughs. It is very convenient to use when activated, and it’s just like a military uniform when in use, but can resist a lot of heavy fire from any opposition.
When in use, it surrounds the user with a faint blue energy film. The exotic armor is not like conventional armor, it's energy-powered gear. When paired in conjunction with a camouflage device, the blue glow from the energy film can be hidden.
The low-grade armor he picked can withstand continuous fire from any machine gun of the 21st century for hours, if not days. It can still withstand a lot of firepower from enemies this century. An armor to a soldier is just like his/her second life.
Unlike him, Leo selected an exotic sword, a pair of exotic daggers, 2 rapid-fire automatic pistols, a box of throwing knives, and an exotic armor. The cadets were only allowed to take 5 equipment; he chose a box of throwing knives because he is a more melee-oriented fighter.
Both friends didn’t pick their weapons on a whim, they both already researched and decided that this set of weapons was most suited to their style of fighting.
What even sealed Clark’s choice was that he once dreamt of himself wielding this set of weapons. And most especially, it looked badass and he liked the style so he went for it.
After picking their weapons of choice, both friends admired themselves a little before going to meet sergeant Modric at the central table. Other cadets were already there, so they waited as others were attended to before it came to their turn.
Clark went first. As one of the few cadets who had a breakthrough, he naturally received better treatment. Sergeant Modric smiled at him as he transferred the data he needed to his implant.
He received a backpack in which was stored abundant bullets for his pistols and sniper rifle, a wristwatch, and a hacking device was also stored inside. All the information he needed was already transferred to his implant, so he saluted the sergeant as he got up to leave.
Leo also went to get his, as his friend quickly went over the information transferred to his implant. It was a video recording of captain Spoky.
"Good day cadets. For the advanced technology training this batch, you are required to infiltrate a temporary base of a Persian Tigers regiment or division".
"Do not get overly worried, these bases are the lowest in terms of quality of soldiers and technological resources. We know your capability, we did not give you anything impossible at this stage".
"Try to be recruited by them, it will greatly ease your infiltration. After entering, bide your time before using your military hacking device to hack their database”.
“Check for the number of soldiers and high-grade soldiers that they have. After that, plan your assault properly to give yourself an advantage”.
“The backpack given to you has an inbuilt jamming device and a camouflage device. This is the main advantage you have over the terrorists, as your gadgets are of a higher quality than the one they have".
"The jamming device will help you disguise and hide your military-grade weapons, without getting detected by their surveillance devices. The camouflage device will distort your outward look to present you as a normal homeless youth. You already learned how it’s operated, so I won’t elaborate. The rest is up to you”.
“The wristwatch on the backpack will be your guide; only you can activate it. It will look like a normal wristwatch to anyone else who observes it”.
“Only one cadet will be sent to a specific base, you will all be sent to different bases. The wristwatch will show you the way to the terrorist base and will also provide you with your escape route when you think it’s time to retreat".
"The duration for this last phase of your training is a month and 3 weeks. Good luck cadets, I hope I can still see your faces a month and 3 weeks from now in the joy of graduation”. Captain Spoky gave his trademark ferocious smile as the video recording ended.
After Clark finished watching the video, he discovered his friend beside him still immersed in his implant.
He patiently waited, not long after Leo finished the video. He opened his eyes and glanced at his friend who was also staring at him.
Clark simply bumped his broad shoulders to dispel the awkward air, before telling him seriously.
“Good luck bro, I hope we see each other on graduation day. Don’t die," he added with a stern face.
Leo glanced at him for a while before suddenly chuckling. “I didn’t think you already missed me this much. Don’t cry bro, I can scale through this”.
Clark rolled his eyes on hearing his friend's speech, as he cursed resentfully. “Prick, who’s missing you? Dream on, you pathetic piece of shit”.
He bunked his friend's head again, as he resolutely turned around to leave. They were not girls, so they were definitely not going to do any dramatic form of farewell.
All the cadets were given 500 Spartan credits for transport and other necessities. With this, all of their expenses to cruise through this last phase were already in stock.
So, it started, Clark’s legendary story of greatness as he left in high spirits to face the world again after 3 years of isolated training as a cadet.

Clark grew up in Vatican City, a relatively small city when compared to other big cities in Sparta.Due to the introduction of implants, children from the age of 10 hardly have any physical friends. After he received his implant at the age of 10, he was exposed to the amazement of the outside world virtually. His childhood friends became more distant, as curiosity overwhelmed all of them. They spent less and less time together, instead, they spent almost all their time on the internet or learning new knowledge through their implants.He made virtual friends online, but never really got close to them as they didn’t meet physically.His situation was slightly worse than that of his friends, as both his parents were soldiers. They hardly stayed at home, as they were always deployed to various places for missions and other assignments by the government.Due to this, his parents also became a little d

Clark quickly arrived in the nearest town, as he inquired about the name of where he was. He found out that this was a town close to Bahamas city.Bahamas city is a highly developed city in the southern region of Araga, more developed than Vatican City. After asking for directions, he discovered that Bahamas city was not where the wristwatch’s direction pointed to. He asked for where the watch was pointing to led and discovered that it was a nearby small town, which deals mainly in agriculture. In this era, it was hard to see communities that rely on agriculture as their main source of income, as all focus was on technology.Despite this, agriculture is still an indispensable part of humanity that provides food for humans. Unless a technological gadget is made that can enable humans to forfeit food, agricultu

Whoosh!! The wind howled fiercely as Clark ran to meet the policeman head-on. The policeman waved his baton, trying to strike him but, in his eyes, this guy was just too slow.“Sorry bro,” he thought, as he quickly dodged the blow. He expertly retrieved the baton from his opponent’s hand, while conveniently knocking him out with a slap to his neck. He turned to continue forward but was surprised again as 3 policemen were already coming from his front, while 2 others approached behind him. He immediately knew that this was a well-trained police unit, their strategy, planning, and movements were top notch.He observed his surroundings, while rapidly making calculations inwardly. His initial plan was to try his best to give the police a hard time catching him, but he was ready to be detained by them.Due to his outstanding but control

Clark woke up to see himself in a room with very dim light. The dim light, paired with the silent atmosphere painted the room to look like the interrogation dungeons used in fictional movies.After waking up, he was very self-conscious, he remembered everything that happened before he was knocked out. He inwardly heaved a huge sigh of relief, as this meant that he was not drugged.He calmly glanced around, trying to see his surroundings more clearly. Suddenly, the dim light brightened as the door to the room opened. He squinted his eyes, as he frowned while trying to adapt to the change in light intensity. The man who knocked him out came in, he recognized him mainly because of the vibe he exuded.This was the first time he saw this guy's face under bright light. He was in a very dangerous situation, as he was already deep behind enemy lines. He felt nervous but tried his best to still act like a regular criminal.&

Recruits like Clark were many in this Persian tiger’s base as they all trained with vigor. He played along, as they taught them basic marksmanship and fighting techniques.He later figured out that the terrorist group stopped in this base to train the recruits. He sighed, as he watched the recruits train in high spirits, trying to outdo each other in results.After hours of training, he finally brought his training results up a bit, as he directly matched this base’s top recruits in results, drawing gasps from others as he only started training for a single day.After the day’s training, he quietly entered his assigned room, together with 4 other recruits. He didn’t try anything funny, as he knew that he was probably still being watched and monitored, to further confirm if he was a real stray criminal. So, a new routine started for him, as he trained daily with the recruits. It was a f

For the rest of the day, training continued as usual, as he continued besting the other recruits in marksmanship, close combat fighting, and other areas that the organization focused on in their training. ... The next day during training, the commander of the base came to visit them for the first time. Clark was probably the only recruit, who already met him before now. All the recruits greeted, as the commander addressed them.His burly and muscular figure was enhanced further when he faced the recruits from an elevated platform. After a week of indoctrination and training, there were already some fanatics in their midst, as they shook with excitement, knowing that this was the overall leader of their base. The commander first announced to them that they will all graduate today, which clearly showed the difference between standard mil

The terrorist group traveled deep into the nearby forest, to ensure they were not followed before they stopped for a death count.They suffered a huge loss from this battle, as they lost 60 recruits from the original 115 recruits, and also lost 20 old soldiers. The loss was huge, but it was within their tolerance range. After the death count, the commander finally came out to meet the soldiers. "There have been new unexpected changes,” he announced.“The old soldiers are already familiar with this, so my advice is for the recruits. There is a high chance that the police force of all nearby towns is already being deployed to intercept us, that is why we didn’t clash aggressively with the first police force”.“We could have killed them completely, but in return, we would have been surrounded from all sides without an escape route. We would have won the battle, but lost the war”.

Rustle!! Rustle!! The forest leaves swayed gently to the rhythm of the wind, as activities began in the temporary terrorist camp.Clark joined the other soldiers, as they checked their weapons, before proceeding to load their resources for the inevitable battle. After taking the armor yesterday, he went to the other armory where normal weapons are stored.In there, he dropped his old gun, exchanging it for a better machine gun and a sword made from reinforced steel. Almost all the other newly graduated terrorist soldiers made the same decision.He was assigned to be in a vehicle, at the forefront of the formation of vehicles. The 2 high-grade soldiers who fought yesterday, to ensure their escape, were in the same car with him. The engines of the vehicles roared to life, as they started moving forward orderly.Vroom!!

Compared to the first 2, the Lilac Pirate God was on the more glaringly weaker side but he still had the strength to back his title. At this moment, in the Black God Pirate City, a surprising piece of news was being circulated. Pirate Queen Anamel was dead, and Pirate Queen Cobra was secretly a student of the Red Goddess. Not only that, the most shocking piece of news that took the city by storm was that of Pirate Queen Cobra’s intention to leave the Sahara and settle in normal human settlements outside. … “Is this news verified?” A deep voice asked with suppressed anger in an underground room with far better living conditions than most of the others out there in the desert. “Yes

While Arthur asked the pirate, Clark already went to work as he closed his eyes to focus. As experienced soldiers, they already put a lot of contingencies in place during their tour around the pirate city.Even if they wanted to catch some fun, it was too unrealistic for them to just keep touring without setting anything in place.With his implant, Clark immediately accessed the hidden cameras that they placed around the city, most especially this bar. It didn’t take him long; he saw a hooded female going out through the bar’s back door.“Found our target”.While muttering to Arthur, Clark already turned to storm out of the bar. Arthur simply knocked the 2 pirates out before storming out also.In seconds, they were out of the bar’s main structure.…A few meters away from the bar, a hooded lady walked through the streets at a leisure pace as she kept a close but alert eye on her surroundings.<

The next day, Clark and Arthur woke up with the intention to remain patient while waiting for their informant to contact them. They didn’t even go into the pirate city, it was too disgusting for them to stay in it. The more Clark felt this way, the more he feared what his girlfriend may have become now. If just a day staying in it could make him this irritated, he just couldn’t imagine what staying here for 4 years could have done. Thinking of this, he felt guilty again. “Why didn’t I come earlier?” Souring his mood with such thoughts, the day moved extremely slowly to him. Perhaps, having noticed his current mood, Arthur didn’t disturb him and opted to go out hunting alone. When he came back, he had a desert antelope with him. Seeing the catch, Clark was left speechless. “Can we finish that?” Arthur wasn’t fazed by his question. “If we can’t finish it today, we’ll just finish it tomorrow or the next.
