I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

This place was still located inside the seal zone, so I couldn’t directly send messages to them.

“Hey, you… Yes you… Come here…” I selected one of Lily’s men and shouted for him to come.

Seeing me on my chariot made this dude startled. He stood there for a second before hurrying to run to me.

“Yes lord, how can I be of help?” he asked, and I could feel his fear. He was covered up with red fine scales. His scales gave me the impression of being a male, as they were slightly bigger and had a harder surface than those of Lily’s.

“Where is Lily?” I wanted to ask about my people, but I doubted he would know them.

“The lady… She went with the selected ones to start the training at once.”

“Selected ones?!” I raised one eyebrow when I heard what he said._.

“She selected them out of the entire group here, then they went this direction to start training.”

He pointed in the direction of the ocean to the East. I turned towards that direction and wondered what was there for them to train.

“Go back,” I let my baby rise up and went towards the direction of the ocean. I didn’t care about that part before, as it was filled with many ships that were all useless.

I knew that most of them were destroyed. But even if there were still intact ships there, the sea monsters wouldn’t let them sail safely.

Besides… The sea life as humans knew before didn’t exist. So there was no point in letting such big metal things work again.

When I reached the shore, I could easily spot them. A group of almost a thousand people, standing over a floating big metallic ship that seemed to be used to move cargo and other things.

It was standing in the middle of water, half a mile away from the land. And all around, many monsters appeared to attack the ship.

So… This was the training session for my elites? Interesting…

I moved slowly while watching with interest. She let them fight monsters coming at the ship, without any single moment of rest.

Being in the middle of such a big ocean meant big aquatic monsters were here. I managed to get a glimpse on how big ocean monsters were when that crazy monster from before used its technique on the ocean bed.

I saw monsters spanning for hundreds of metres, looking so damn giants and mighty. But they were nothing in front of the big technique of that bastard.

Yet right now the boys of mine were fighting much smaller monsters. Yet these monsters weren’t that easy to handle.

They could rise up and even float on the surface of water, fly for almost twenty metres in the air as if they jumped from water.

They could use their scales, fins, even sharp needle like protrusions to attack. They could bite with sharp teeth, hit fiercely with their strong bodies, and even use a few skills every now and then.

All the skills they used were water related. Creating small tornados of water, or even forcing a big wave to come at the ship… Everything was possible here.

But on the other hand my boys were standing firm, listening to the words of Lily and her few groups of ten people who seemed to work as instructors.

“Keep in line… Don’t miss that son of b*tch… What? Are you a pussy or what?… Don’t let it come on board!… Release your attacks fiercely and with all the might you can muster…”

Her voice echoed in the world when I came closer. She was dealing in such a harsh way with them, letting me inwardly sigh.

I… Was so soft back then with them. It was great to have such a capable person with vast experience in fighting to train them.

“Hi,” I greeted when I came, but Lily only nodded for me once before returning to rain everyone with her orders.

“You are pathetic! You call yourselves the cream of the croup? You dare to consider yourselves elites? Humph! A little boy back in my yard can do much better than all of you!”

Yes, she was fierce. And I liked this way of teaching. She was pushing them beyond their limits. However there was something they all lacked, or actually two.

One was skills. Like me back then, they got only useless ground skills from monsters using the tattoo trick. But now their skills meant nothing in front of such aquatic monsters.

The only ones who were performing great were those mages. With their fiery skills, even if they were low graded skills, they managed to cause considerable damage to these monsters.

The rest of them needed monsters to board on the ship to slay them. This was… Actually impractical!

Trying to fight aquatic monsters using the ground fighting techniques and ways was bullsh*t. I got what Lily was trying to do here, she was trying to show them how weak and inexperienced they were.

She wanted to show them other areas they neglected and they lacked greatly in. Besides, fighting like this was useful in the long run indeed.

“Keep going,” I knew she was too busy to even spare a moment for me, “I’ll come to check on you later.”

“Keep fighting… Don’t let that bastard use his skill…” she continued talking while waving an arm at me.

I helplessly left while leaving my boys to suffer there.

As I was there, few glanced at me, asking for me to help. I didn’t step in or say anything to help. They needed to suffer, so they would grow stronger.

Even the spearhead’s mighty ability was useless against monsters. It can slow them slightly down, but not as much as it did at races in the apocalypse.

I left them to their fate and returned back to my capital. I went directly towards the west side, where Hilary and Angelica led everyone to gather there.

As I arrived, I could see the sprouts of the early groups formed by them. It seemed this would take much longer than I expected. So I decided to get some rest.
