Not far from the residence of the Bach clan, in the past two months, another building has appeared in addition to the facility for the production of magic devices. She was in the nearby forest, as if hiding from the rest of the world.
Externally, the building was small, only two floors ... In fact, there were barracks for special forces, recently called the Black Falcon. Beneath the two floors that served as a façade to the outside world, there were three more underground floors and a system of tunnels that allowed members of the squad to move around incognito.
«Mission completed,» Orion entered the room on the second floor. — During the operation, there were no problems, all members of the group were eliminated ...
«The girls of the Arcer clan... What's wrong with them?» Aaron asked calmly, leaning back in his chair. — Did you find them?
— Yes, they were kept in the basement ...
«Fine, take them to the residence of our clan, and give them to the care of their grandfather,» Aaron gave instructions, tapping his fingers on the table. «He was warned, and he knows what needs to be done...
„Good, but then these girls will understand that it was the Bach clan that eliminated the criminal gang," Orion suggested. „Won't that be a problem?"
„This is the main goal of their salvation," a sinister, sly grin appeared on Aaron's face. „I just need the Arcer clan to create problems for us..."
Looking at his master, Orion shuddered involuntarily, but did not ask any more questions, taking note that what was happening still fit into Aaron's plans. He bowed quickly and left the room, closing the door behind him. Aaron, after his departure, got up from the table and went to the window, scrolling through various thoughts in his head, and remembering how much had happened from July to this month — September.
During this time, a hundred recruits managed to go through training, and turned from weak and tender calves into real bulls, capable of crushing the enemies of the clan, it is enough just to give them such an order.
Two months isn't that long, especially for training elite soldiers, but Aaron used a trick. In fact, the members of the Black Falcon Squad were still almost all low rank knights, with the exception of Orion, who had just recently been promoted to mid rank.
However, despite this, the effectiveness of the squad members exceeded their ranks by several times, such a result was achieved through the use of magical techniques and techniques transmitted to them by Aaron.
While the average knight can only use the most basic techniques using magical energy, any member of the Black Falcon squad knows at least four advanced magical techniques — Archive, Analysis, Life Perception, and Discovery of Potential. ».
All these techniques are created by Aaron personally, just for use by the knights. There are simply no analogues of such skills, since other clans do not even bother to create magic techniques for knights, in their eyes, not worthy of such efforts...
By using these four magic skills, a knight is able to skip an entire rank, and under certain circumstances, even kill a great rank knight. Even the simplest stick in the hands of a professional will be many times more effective than the best of the swords in the hands of a beginner.
Magic skill «Archive» — gives the knight the ability to create a memory archive in his head, allowing him to remember all the information that the user notes as important, through data, and not feelings and memories. Allows you to remember the information you want to remember. There is a similar «Memory Palace» skill that grants the user absolute memory.
The disadvantage of the skill created by Aaron is that it does not provide the ability to structure memories, interfering with the natural process of memorization, but only the information received by the user of the skill. The problem with Memory Palace is that it is much more expensive and can also drive the user crazy.
Many, in pursuit of absolute memory, alas, do not know that the mechanism of forgetting is much more important than the process of memorization. Sometimes, some memories can harm mental health, so they should be forgotten. Normally, the human brain does this autonomously.
Magic skill «Analysis» is extremely convenient and easy to use. Aaron came up with it inspired by knowledge from another universe. The bottom line is that the knight, through the use of magical energy, structures information about his own body, and displays it through numerical data.
This skill is very useful for tracking the progress of training, as it gives information about the amount of physical and magical power of the user. A greater amount of physical strength implies a stronger physical shell, and by the amount of magical power one can judge the development of a person's magical potential.
Magicians and demigods can also use this skill, and more effectively, as they can analyze the amount of physical and magical power not only in their own bodies, but also in the bodies of other beings, as well as in magical artifacts and devices.
The magic skill «Life Perception» is an effective perception technique that allows, by emitting a wave of magical energy from the body in a certain radius, to find out if there is any living being nearby, by the presence of magical energy in it. The radius depends on the amount of invested magical energy and its control. This skill does not detect magic users with an abnormally high level of magical energy control.
The magic skill «Unlocking Potential» is the most effective technique for increasing the fighting qualities of a knight. Oftentimes, most knights depend on the amount of magical energy within the body, they put it into different parts of it, to improve strength and speed, at the moment of striking, or dashing. Potential Discovery works on a different principle...
This skill unlocks the full potential of the body, through a significant expenditure of magical energy. As a result, the knight gets a huge boost in power in absolutely all qualities of the body, be it reaction, endurance, strength, speed, or perception, they all work at their maximum possible, but only for a very short time. True, with practice this very time can be increased, and significantly ...
