Chapter 13 - Chapter 12: Support Theory

As usual, Kayden's first period of the day after the Prestige class is Support. An important class that all Supporters have to take every year. They'll learn about strategies, how to create a perfect battle environment for their partners, and learn about other roles and requirements to be well in each of the roles.

This year, his class will be guided by Professor Dawn Mangrove. He's an elder tree spirit. He lives a long life, he even survives the ancient magic war. He's not only a great Supporter during the war, but he's a great wall to protect his friends and allies too.

Kayden sits next to Phoebe, they've started talking since the first day of the school. Seems like the friendship of Supporters are faster formed than any of the others. Kayden is good at helping in the battlefield while Phoebe is good at making plans and solving hard situations by using the power of the people. 

"Hello class, today we'll study about Support Theory". Professor Mangrove pulled back his branches. "Are you guys ready for the show?".

"Yes sir!" - Everyone said in unison.

"Okay get set, Go!" - Professor activated the computer and the high technical screen rapidly appeared on the wall.

Support role is one of the most significant roles to create an ideal team. Supporters are even ranked before Attackers, because they are smooth and unpredictable like water. They can strike unexpectedly critically and can save their allies through the scythe of Death.  

There are 3 types of Supporters, Healers, Strategists, and Controllers. 

Healers are the most typical support type that we usually see in games and movies. They are war nurses! They're willing to join the battle, fight with allies, sacrifice themselves for the highest good of all, and use their ability to aid others unconditionally. 

Controllers are usually in the back line or the middle line of the battle. They distract enemies and create gold opportunities for Attackers to achieve an easy take-down! They are known as 2nd chance makers. Because with one wise move, they could turn the table around, from losing to winning briskly.

Strategists, they are the modern type of Supporters. These people are usually spell casters, trappers, or technologists. They stand in the back line, sometimes even far away from the battle so they can have a big view to observe. These people are commanders of the team if they are experienced enough. If not, their allies will only see them as a walking burden. Strategists are controversial. Some people say that a Supporter must engage directly in the battle to be a real skillful Supporter.  Although, there are still many people who like and embrace the idea of being a Strategist. 

It's just really hard to say which one is the best type of Supporter. The answer must be based on the team that people are building.

"Okay class, now access the Oglourine Aca-logy to complete the Support Theory quiz". Professor Mangrove turned off the screen and said. "The deadline is at midnight".

Kayden was waking up from his deep sleep not knowing what's happening in the world. "Wah what?".

"Hey Phoebe, what just happened?" - Kayden tapped on Phoebe's shoulder.

"Oh Professor said that we need to go to the Oglourine Aca-logy to complete the newest quiz of Support Theory". Just in case Kayden didn't understand what Oglourine Aca-logy is, Phoebe kept explaining thoroughly. "Oh, it's a website made by our Academy's Tech Team. With your MPhone, you can just download the app and sign in your assigned email then you're done".

"Oh thank you for the guidance, but the only thing that I need help with is the quiz". Kayden was about to cry, he slept the whole time. "Can you help me with the quiz, please?"

"Oh sure no problem" - Phoebe comfortably talked.

"Thank you so much friend, I luv you girl". Kayden hugged Phoebe without hesitation.

About Adelphia and Lucas, yes, they are both in the same first period after the Prestige class. They are in Defender class, practicing real time battles with each other. Today the lesson is about how to fight against a ranged Attacker.

Lucas's father, he is the chief of the policemen in Oglourine City. He trains with his father everyday. To be training with an experienced warrior, it makes Lucas a hard opponent to deal with. Lucas's ability is another challenge to his enemies too. It's physical body enhancing. He can be as quick as an eagle, as strong as an elephant, and as durable as a bear. 

Today, Lucas's training partner is Adelphia. Their fight is so monumental that it makes others have to stop just to watch. 

"Bladed-Force Storm" - Adelphia released waves of Bladed Force, an upgrade attack move to push the enemy into a corner. 

"Extreme Speed". Lucas increased the speed of himself to a higher level, then he chanted the flashing spell to get out of the danger zone repeatedly. "Fulgeo".

"Impressive" - This was the first time in Adelphia's life that she saw a melee defender dodge her proud attack move. 

"But not enough to win". Adelphia flew higher to prepare for a powerful attack. During that time, Lucas enhanced his durability and commented. "Why are you so sure about it?".

"Magnetic Tornado!". Adelphia manipulated the magnetic field, it quickly surrounded Lucas and caused great damages to him.

"Didn't expect to be against such a strong mage like you". Lucas was trying to stand still in the furious battle environment. "Now I know why everyone fears you". 

"Thanks"

"Gravitational Pressures". Adelphia ended the battle. Lucas fainted away unconsciously. 

Everyone claps their hands for a great performance of both of them whether they lose or win. The nurse quickly takes Lucas away to the Academy's healing room. About Adelphia's side, she takes a break after a long fight, gets ready to come to the next class.
