304 Training To Become Stronger! [3]

These training sessions happened almost every week and students were made aware of their weaknesses and how to deal with strong enemies. ????????n????????????d. ????????m

They were getting stronger at a ridiculous pace, however, none compared to the growth rate of Hiro and his team.

Hiro and others are always competing with Rank-S opponents and one mistake would cause them to get knocked out. Therefore, the rate of mistakes made by them greatly decreased as they trained with Professor Mia.

While they could obviously not win against Professor Mia, they did get better and lasted more rounds as the training went on. Though it was all because Professor Mia had limited her strength.

If she used her Ice Palace or similar skills, they would not last one second against her. But that didn’t mean that she was going so easy that they were able to think that they could win. She always showed an overwhelming difference between them.

However, they didn’t just learn from studying at Ace Academy. They also went to conquer dungeons which enabled them to gain a lot of treasure and also get stronger. They were now having an easy time conquering Rank-B dungeons.

The speed at which they conquered also was insane, bringing the attention of other explorers who couldn’t help but admire them. Because of their kind nature, they also end up helping the explorers who are having trouble in the dungeons.

Whether it was saving the Explorers from monsters or lending potions, Hiro didn’t hesitate to help anyone and this led to his image being favorable.

Anyway, the training was not the only reason for their growth. Enemies also helped them grow stronger.

.....

People from the Dark Guild and some Devils had attacked Hiro and his friends. Usually, it would be when they were in dungeons. Infiltrating Ace Academy had become increasingly difficult, and it was not like they could kill Hiro even if they succeeded in infiltrating with all the S-Rank and A-Rank professors.

It seems that the Dark Guild got commissioned for killing Hiro and the reason for attacking Hiro seemed that the rewards are good. While there may be other reasons, however, from the information gotten by the assassins, they were just targeting them for rewards.

Hiro was not the only one. Many talented people from the human domain were being targeted by Dark Guilds. It seems that with the war coming, Devils and those who have a grudge against certain people are commissioning Dark Guild to kill them.

The rewards are good and with the conflict between Devils and Humans, The Authority and the guilds have a lack of people to guard against such attacks.

Devils had also placed prizes for taking the head of Hiro. Hiro was already targeted before by them and he still seemed to be on the top list of kills.

However, unlike before it seems that they could not afford or may not be able to invade like before. While the reasons were unknown, Hiro did seem to be the target of the Devils during their invasion.

But such an attack of such scale didn’t happen again. Only one or two Devil Contractors would come together to capture Hiro. At least for now, there was no big invasion like last year.

Though obviously, all such attempts ended in failure as Hiro along with his allies would always win one way or another. They even ended up winning against a group of assassins who had a Rank-B Explorer from the Dark Guild.

With each incident, Hiro and his friends emerged stronger. Enemies just become the Exp for Hiro and others to grow stronger.

Their exploits were also reported by Media. Media is always keeping track of such incidents and they would always praise Hiro and hail him as the talent who may end the war between Devil and Humans.

As they grew stronger, Hiro and his team also gained more respect and recognition from their peers. They were admired for their courage and determination, and they were respected for their skill and power. They also gained the trust of professors, who recognized their potential and saw them as future leaders.

They spared no resources in helping their students grow, particularly Hiro who had the potential to reach Rank-SSS. However, even with them giving their best, it felt like they had to do more. Not only because of their past failure but because of the war which would eventually recruit students.

To discuss this, Ace Academy held a meeting consisting of senior professors.

“The war is approaching, and we need to change our curriculum to better prepare our students for the dangers they’ll face.”

The Vice-Principal stated.

“I couldn’t agree more. The Authority is stretched thin with war preparations and our students need to be ready to defend themselves and their homes.”

Professor Theo added.

Professors began to propose many plans, however, it didn’t strike to Vice-Principal as anything revolutionary or something that they should do. Others were good plans but the cost was high such as giving potions to students and longer training time.

It was all an okay plan but the Vice-principal was looking for something and expected one of the professors to come up with such plans.

“I propose we start incorporating more practical training and missions into our curriculum. We can have our students help The Authority and also help them gain experience through certain dangers.”

Professor Mia proposed. As the youngest of the senior professors, Professor Mia’s plans were seen as something new. Though if it was on Earth, such a thing would be called an internship.

Anyway, such things were not done before. Professor Mia was able to come up with such a plan as she had a hard time when going directly to studying to only defeat monsters to being told to do other things such as infiltrating enemy bases and guarding people which is normally not taught in school.

She thought real experience should be given to students before they graduate. They could learn in school what they need and what they lack.

“That’s a great idea. It would not only prepare our students for the war, but it would also give them real-world experience and earn them some extra rewards and money.”

The Vice-Principal said finding the idea excellent. He was just looking for such a fresh idea and was genuinely happy to hear Professor Mia’s proposal.

The Authority is busy with the preparation for war and lacks people for certain jobs, and for that reason, Ace Academy could provide students to help The Authority with their jobs which also double down as training for the students.

Since it is a dangerous time, and danger is what students would face and Ace Academy also would like them to be prepared.

“Though we have to make sure that the missions are not too dangerous for them to handle. It’s important for them to be prepared but also safe.”

Professor Mia said. Looking for the opportunity to make students stronger was good but that didn’t mean that they should send students to risky jobs.

A few jobs that students could do and gain experience would include guarding certain areas with Rank-D monsters, inspecting places that are not too dangerous, and conquering dungeons of Rank-C and D that are about to erupt.

Most professors were favorable to the changes while some others who didn’t want to work extra didn’t agree. However, in front of an overwhelming number that supported the idea, they were ignored.

Since this plan was selected, the Professor began to add details and search for jobs that they could give to students.

“I see the benefits. The students would be well prepared for the war and would have a sense of responsibility and motivation.”

One of the professors said as he read through the plans carefully.

Rewards and money for completing missions could also be given to students, increasing their motivation of students. They can also learn about the various work that people do and help them expand their horizons.

“Let’s bring this proposal to the headmaster and see if we can get it approved.”

The Vice-Principal said after thinking carefully.

“Sounds good. The sooner we implement this change, the better prepared our students will be.”

“Agreed. Let’s get to it.”

Professors said as the meeting came to an end. With their decision, some changes were going to happen to Ace Academy

All in all, Ace Academy planned to raise its students’ level.
