186 The life after high school (I) “Back to work. We must be ready to fight at any moment!” Only the three hundred men had to move when they heard his words, but other than the Vice-Captains, no one remained standing. Cain’s overwhelming might was enough to mobilize almost fifteen thousand soldiers. His commander’s aura was born of a combination of his tremendous power, the immense respect he drew from the soldiers’ hearts, and his Wave King’s willpower. Most of the Vice-Captains did not care that the soldiers under their command would instinctively follow Cain’s orders. Yet, there was a small group that did not think like that, and leading them was no other than Uriel. The young Vice-Captains clenched his fists as he stared at Cain and realized just how strong this one had become. ... “Hahaha, Aaron, you sure got lucky. To have such a monster in your battalion. That boy’s military feats are bound to be overwhelming.” One of the Captains burst into laughter as he saw Cain commanding the soldiers back to the encampment. He had a thin constitution, but a scorching heat surrounded him, making it clear he was very strong. “I like that brat. Extremely cunning and fierce. I can not get enough of the faces of those snobs. ” Another Captain praised Cain with a smile. ..... She was a very tall woman with blue hair. There was a fierce aura around her body, and around her waist, there were a long blade and small daggers. The Captain did not hide her voice, and her smile only grew more prominent as he saw the anger in the university teachers. There was no secret that members of the Wave Universities saw themselves as superior in many aspects to the military, including training. However, Cain had beaten the best 1st-year student of the entire Collapsing Lightning Sector without receiving a single wound. The only reason Jortar was still alive was due to Cain containing himself and not sending his attack to vital points like the back of the head or spine. None of the Captains cared about the annoyed expression on the teachers, and they kept talking among each other. “You told us that boy was strong, but not this much. You brat dare to keep secrets from me. Why did you not tell us he had experienced Blood Renewal?” The old among the Captains spoke, and the way he talked with Aaron was as if he was speaking with a child. Although it might seem odd, Aaron said nothing about how the old man referred to him as a brat. Aaron only showed a smile as he stared at the old Captains. He still remembers when he was a new soldier sent to the old Captain’s battalion. “Geezer, stop spouting nonsense. That boy should have crossed the 75% threshold during the trip to the mountain.” The rest of the Captains softly nodded as they heard that. Each room in the Lightning Star Cruiser was isolated entirely from the rest of the world, making it a very good and secure cultivation ground. It made sense for Cain to have chosen that place to carry on with his breakthrough, not to mention that the density of the Life Wave in Blade Mountain was more than ten times higher than the ones around the Imperial Lightning Fort. That was especially true now that all King Beasts were gone and no longer devouring the energy in the surroundings. As the Captains talked, the night finally arrived, and it did not come alone. “ROAR!” ?AWW!” “OHHH!” The sound of Wave Beasts emerged from the forest near both encampments, and the situation changed significantly. Those roars belonged to the millions of Wave Beasts they would be fighting real soon. Although soldiers and students were the hunters, none were naive enough to think that there would not be casualties among them. The Wave Beasts would not just lay down and accept their death. They would fight with everything they had and kill as many humans as possible before dying. Soldiers were able to handle the pressure of those roars better than students since many of them had spent years on the battlefield. Still, that did not mean they were unaffected since not knowing what was hiding in the darkness was terrifying. That was not the worst part. What bothered the soldiers and students most was not knowing if a horde of Wave Beasts would suddenly march out of the forest and toward them. Hiding during the night in their Star Cruiser would be counterproductive. It would waste time and make it harder for them to adapt once they have to move the encampment deep into the forest. In the Wave University’s encampment, Dominic and Amos saw how many of the students became anxious as they heard those roars. The duo nodded to each other before waving their hands, making dozens of people march around their encampment’s perimeters. It did not take long for dozens of three-meter tall black pillars to cover the Wave University’s encampment’s perimeters. “These are Sentry Posts. They will form a force field that will detect any incoming enemy, warning us of the danger in time and sending energy attacks.” Dominic shouted, and his voice echoed through the zone, reaching students and soldiers. “All Wave University’s students can rest peacefully,” Dominic spoke those last words before sending an arrogant smile toward the soldier’s encampment. Aaron and the rest of the Captains saw that and could not help but frown. They knew about Sentry Posts, and the reason the military was not using them was that not only were they extremely expensive, but they also used a crazy amount of wave crystals to work. Now that the students were able to sleep well, they could advance faster than the soldiers, who would have to spend their night alert in case a horde appeared out of nowhere. Dominic and Amos knew that, which is why they were willing to waste a small fortune on the Wave Artifacts. However, their smiles froze the next second. Moments after the Sentry Posts appeared around the students’ encampment, a majestic red force field emerged from the center of the soldier’s encampment. It rose for hundreds of meters, giving everybody a shocking sight before it crashed down, flooding the soldier’s encampment, and it did not stop there. The red force field also crossed into the nearby forest, and everybody could hear Wave Beast’s howling in fear before running away. There was no way that a bunch of weak and unintelligent Wave Beasts would be able to discern the power behind that Ego Wave. They only understood that it was the willpower of a Wave King, and therefore they needed to run if they wanted to remain alive. Once the force field finished with the Wave Beasts in the forest, it pulled back, forming a halo around the soldier’s encampment. Cain could see and hear everything inside his Ego Wave, so it was not good to cover everything. “Stay inside the halo, and you will be safe.” Cain’s voice echoed, and his words were much more reassuring than those of Dominic. Dominic and Amos told the students that the Sentry Posts would warn them about danger and give them time to react, while Cain declared boldly that every soldier inside the red halo would be safe. “Hahaha, that boy is amazing. Not only did his willpower match that of a Wave King, but his mastery over Free Ego is superb. Not to mention that the timing was perfect. Just as those cocky brats wanted to show off their wealth, that boy beat them with true power.” The old Captain laughed with all his strength as he saw that sight, and the rest of the Captains did the same, making sour expressions appear on the university teacher’s faces. Dominic’s eyes grew cold as he saw that Ego Wave, and he clenched his fists. However, he did not let rage overcome his mind and took a deep breath before turning toward a large man close to him. “Bring them to me.” The large man nodded before walking toward a corner of the student’s encampment. ... All the students were looking at the red force field with awe and envy, but one among them showed complete disbelief. That young man could not believe it. No, he could not accept the reality that was presented in front of him. Jonathan, Cain’s old high school “friend,” was sitting with a pale expression and empty eyes, looking at the Ego Wave born of a Wave King’s willpower. As he saw that red force field, Jonathan could not help but remember his last interaction with Cain. It was still clear in his mind how he defeated this one with a single fist after bragging about how he would enroll in Hellblazer University. Back then, Jonathan was sure he would become a shooting star at Hellblazer University, rising above everybody and becoming a powerful noble in a matter of time. However, the reality was not only hard but vicious. What Jonathan obtained once he got into Hellblazer University was everything but glory.
