These robot tigers are not even in grade F. Their battle power will be lower than that to be defeated so soon. I look at Snowfa who is still fighting the last tiger.
She swings her hammer missing the tiger which had 47% bar left again and again. Her hammer is special, with blue color handle and a thick reflective Albam stick attached to it. It can be held in single hand and two hands as required.
She is using both her hands swinging it blindly not targeting any where, just swinging like a kids swing their arms trying to hit anything that might come in the way.
"Stop swinging aimlessly and focus on it's head. Remember your basic training." I tell her and she stops her attack to look at me. I immediately run close to her shielding her from the claws of the robot.
"Lesson to remember, never let anything distract you when you are fighting." I tell her and move away so she can deal with the tiger. She gets angry real fast as she rushed towards the tiger and slammed it's head bringing down it's bar to 0% in that hit.
TUP.. TUP.. TUP.. TUP..
Jack come near me clapping his hands and says "Well done Alex, you did good. You need to listen to him Snowfa, you can't get distracted in a life or death battle. He can't be there all the time to protect you."
"I don't need protection." She says starring at me. "I disagree, you need training. Your basic training is not good enough to go into the wilderness." He says which make her even more angry.
"Listen Snowfa, trainer is right. You need to train your mind. You can't take these kinds of emotions in to battle, it will only kill you." I say trying to reason with her.
"What are you saying?" She asks me to which I say "I meditate to keep my mind calm. You need to try that." I tell her to which Jack says "That's right kid. You can't take anger into a battle. It will make you do mistakes which will be exploited by your enemies."
"Trainer, these animal robots, they are not as powerful as grade F animals, right?" I ask him to divert the conversation to not make Snowfa angrier than she is.
"You guessed it right. They are not. It is for the training purpose only so you will not be seriously injured. I wanted to know your fighting techniques so I can help you improve them." Looking at me he says "You never used a shield till today and use speed to your advantage."
I nod at him and say "Yes trainer, that is true." To which he says "You also do not hesitate to take risks when fighting. It maybe good, but you can't hope to achieve success like that all the time." I reply to him "I understand trainer."
"This may your 1st time fighting Snowfa, but you did good. You were able to overcome your fear, stand firm and fight. That is the character every soldier has." He says to Snowfa which makes her face bright like a lit lamp.
"Get some rest kids. You still have work to do." He says and goes to a corner of the training room and sits down with his back against the wall. I do the same on another corner and Snowfa comes and sits next to me.
"I got Ice, what did you get?" Snowfa asks me to which I ask "You know it is offensive to ask about other's element or skills, right?" To which she immediately says "I'm sorry, I just wanted to know." I just smile at her and say "I have Ice Too."
"You didn't use it against the robots. You are strong!" She says with admiration in her voice. I reply with a smile "It is because I have already done a few hunts in the wilderness." To which she looks surprised.
"I was given the chance to join the company because of a mission which I volunteered." I add to which she asks "Are you the Alexander my father keeps talking about. A reminder of humanity?"
I am not sure what her father was talking about me and why. But I know her father is Mr. Cooper, so he might have said about my willingness to help the people who needs it. But, I am not sure why he has to talk about me.
"He said I have a lot to learn from you. Please teach me what you know, pleaaassseee.." She says looking at me with a cute puppy eyes and childish voice to which I don't know what to say.
"I will try to do what I can." I tell her and she grabs my arm saying "Thank you." I take my arm away from her grasp and sit in lotus position to relax my mind. I meditate for a few minutes and open my eyes when Jack calls us for the next fake hunt.
I can see Snowfa sitting next to me is also in lotus position and give me a bright smile when I look at her. I nod my head in appreciation for her efforts. She is grasping everything faster than me.
We did 2 other fake hunts before we go to the office canteen for lunch. "You did good Snowfa, guess I need to increase my power faster if don't want to see you dusting me." I tell her with a smile trying to encourage her.
She has become more focused and fights better than the 1st fake hunt by implementing the advise she is given. If she continues in the same way, she will become a better fighter than me.
She smiles at me and gets the general meal from the food counter. It has a steak of meat with few veggies and a glass of fresh juice. This is the standard meal given to every employee, soldier and cadets of Hammerand.
Today it has boar meat which is rich in energy and good for the newly awakened kids like us.
"You need to keep up Alex, or you will be left behind." Snowfa tells me with a mocking tone before sitting at the table next to me. I just smile at her as she has underestimated me.
I am yet to use my Ice Armor or infuse my energy to my new sword. I am just fighting the robot animals with my raw power with no elemental energies.
