The study format for children from all S.C.T. bases had completely changed. Even before the end of the world, the previous educational system was chaotic and non-interactive, but now it had been reformed with the help of experts, and this school had become somewhat militarized, focusing on what each child wanted depending on their abilities.
The physical activities teacher is a military instructor, there are teachers who explain in detail about the outside world and the various different types of walkers, as well as survival teachers. Ultimately, children are taught classes that would make them key members of the S.C.T. in the near future.
It can be said that the current study format was created for the new world, and it will only change once walkers become truly harmless to people. Compared to other study methods, now every student pays attention and actively participates in classes.
According to Airon's words, although survival is more important in the recent days, the inheritance of knowledge is equally important. The reason why they can continue building the new S.C.T. city is closely tied to the help of various knowledge, so no matter how much the children complain, nobody intends to waste their talents as they are necessary for the future.
And once these children become adults, they will not lack the knowledge to continue teaching and advancing both technologically and in different scientific aspects. There are several children who not only learn very quickly but can also master training rapidly, and those are the talents that receive attention.
The last class in the morning is about the future, what would the children like to see in fifty years? Many people don't understand it, but Airon wants to foster the children's desires so that they learn to aspire and achieve new goals.
For example, history can make people have their own thoughts, and it can also make people learn from history and understand many things that could have been avoided. Airon doesn't want the children, who are the future of humanity, to become arrogant and conceited when they grow up. Proper cultural accumulation is essential. After all, they are the hope of the future.
"Hello, Airon!"
"Good morning, sir!"
"Clementine, Ellie, how are you? I hope you all feel comfortable at the base. By the way, Joel is coming today as planned."
"Yes, I spoke with him a few hours ago," Ellie replied with a slight smile.
Airon was not familiar with Clementine or Ellie, as he had never spent much time at the base before, and his relationship with the children was something he didn't really care about. But having some contact with this group of children is always important to consider them for the future.
"We're fine, Airon!"
"What will we talk about today?"
When Airon arrived, Carl jumped out of his seat and greeted him. On the other hand, Airon, who entered the classroom, said, "Today we will have extra training. I won't be able to give the following classes because some important things have come up that require my attention."
"Are we going to train?"
"Well, I can't complain..." Ellie, who was more interested in weapons and training, wasn't very interested in practical classes that weren't about survival.
Airon couldn't help but smile when he saw the two girls, so he immediately said, "Well, guys, your trainer for today is my colleague George, a great soldier."
"Wow, is that the bearded man?"
"Told you, that man is really strong."
When Airon watched the students heading out to the training field, Rick, who had arrived with him, said, "It's not easy to see Carl smile again, Airon. I really want to thank you."
"Come on, you know that's not important... If I don't have a son of my own, I want Carl to lead the entire S.C.T. organization when we're too old. Your son has so much potential as a human being and a good person."
When Rick heard these words, he looked at Airon's sincere expression and smiled, knowing that someone so important to the future of thousands of people thought this way about his son.
Airon knew that originally Carl would be the one to guide his father Rick's community into the future. However, that was not his original destiny. Therefore, knowing Carl's character and determination, that is the only thing Airon looks for in a human being for the future of possibly the whole world.
Who could tell what would happen in two weeks' time? As a responsible leader, he had to ensure a stable future within the organization. That is why it is also important for many men and women to have control over bases within the S.C.T. organization...
George, an experienced survivor, stood in the middle of the forest with the three children: Carl, Ellie, and Clementine. The sun shone high above, creating an atmosphere full of energy and expectations.
"Listen, kids," George began as the children gathered around him. "Today we're going to learn some key skills to face the walkers and survive in this post-apocalyptic world."
Carl, a determined-looking boy, raised his hand and asked, "What are we going to learn, George?"
George smiled and replied, "First, I'll teach you how to camouflage yourselves and move stealthily. It's crucial to be invisible to walkers and other potential enemies."
Next, George explained the importance of knowing the surroundings and seeking safe shelter. He showed them how to identify strategic locations, such as abandoned buildings or hollow trees, where they could find temporary protection.
Then, George presented different types of improvised weapons they could use in case they encountered walkers. He taught them how to make spears, simple traps, and used sticks as examples of defense.
"Remember, kids," George reminded them seriously, "our main goal is to avoid direct confrontation with walkers. But if there's no other option, you need to know how to protect yourselves."
After the theoretical lesson, George took them to a training area specifically designed to simulate encounters with walkers. There were mannequins and figures representing walkers arranged in a challenging circuit.
Carl, Ellie, and Clementine took turns practicing their combat skills, evading simulated attacks from the "walkers." George watched them proudly and provided advice on their techniques.
"Remember, kids, the key is to stay calm and focused," George told them. "Observe the movements of the walkers and exploit their weaknesses. Don't forget that speed and precision are crucial."
The children trained for hours, improving their movements, reflexes, and survival skills. Growing more confident, they faced the challenges with determination and courage.
At the end of the training, George gathered the children and praised their dedication and effort. "You've shown great progress, kids," he said with a smile. "Keep practicing and never stop learning. Together, we can face any challenge that comes our way."
"But now, all of you will have to learn to move quickly through obstacles where walkers will never be able to keep up... Well, the slow ones, and possibly the runners..."
Carl, Ellie, and Clementine looked at each other with determination, knowing they were one step closer to being prepared for any encounter with walkers. They thanked George for his guidance and promised each other to keep training to protect themselves and others in this dangerous world.
