Chapter 232: Chapter 232: Exploration Group To The Old Fashion Way. (Part 3)

At the end of the explanation of the future schedule and the reasons behind them, Instructor Londra proceeds to explain the formation the Exploration Group would adopt.

"Cadets, This is the first time that we have attempted to integrate the lost Ancient practices with the Contemporary tactics, as a result, there will surely be flaws in the arrangement of the Formation, so be alert and ensure to adhere at the role you were assigned".

{Interesting approach, except for the part where we are the test subjects...}

"In the past, you only had the need fir an active line along the support line, that is inefficient, but not completely wrong, We will adopt this theme and work on it together with the new designation of Roles, Punchline, Reinforceline, Mainline and Backline".

The Ancient Cadets can partially intuit what each role is oriented towards, unaware that they are slightly mistaken on their assessment.

"We would be following a Modified Standard Formation, having an arrangement of 2/1-3/1-3/1-1/2/1 I can see and understand your confusion but it is quite simple".

Instructor Londra does a pause and gives an analytical glance to every member of the Exploration Group "Cadets CUNT-38 Thá’Ïtza Nòïrdbrïón and Cadet COMY-69 Yi’Onnaisse Murlckquim are the Active Punchline, responsible for stopping and retaining the enemies we will encounter".

{I don’t like the sound of this, Hopefully it is just me, and the bad memory about hearing Coach Cadrimel, When he mentioned our Names, before we went into those Invasive Territories that spawned after Surieliz Wröthck was used as a sacrifice by the Ex Collaborators of Quetzally...}

"Cadet CUNR-38 Rwük’Nür Nephron your post will be behind them, acting as the Supporting Punchline, you have a role similar to a Normal Reinforceline, but oriented towards a more defensive approach, as you must delay the opponents that manage to bypass the initial Frontline, Nevertheless, you will change your position if any of your homologues are injured or spend their Node’s reserves".

{That it is actually... , Pretty clever, I suppose this will be similar on the other Roles...}

"Next, are the Active Reinforceline, your Job it is simple, Shield the Member of the Punchline that will be in front of you, Likewise, you must focus on Attack solely the targets that are mentioned by the Frontline, Cadet CUIT-83 Try’Phiel Imirath, Cadet CORK-24 Krullzure Rhaython and CARI-24 Indayra Rwöllmör, Have you understand your Role?".

""Crystal Clear, Instructor Londra""; Reply at the same time Try’Phiel and Krullzure, as Indayra says "Pristine Clear, Instructor Londra".

Both Batches of Cadets are confused by the apparent mispronunciation committed by the other side, an obvious barrier in their communication ""Pristine?!, You are not adorning an ornate chamber!"".

"Clear?, I am not sure about the reason, but No one says, Clear, since Four Thousand Years ago or so".

The coldness of Indayra’s voice almost sounds like a detached scolding, but her attempt of explanation somehow diminishes the overall friction that could become a spark of animosity.

To deal with the confusion, Urrein Interjects with a swift and simple solution "Cadet COCK-69, Care to explain the motive that lead to this particular change on... , Common slang?".

"I have no inconvenient explaining it, Instructor Urrein... , 3,900 and Seventy something years ago, the Ark Duchess of Themey’Rhán, Pristine Gygxz’Kander, suffered an assassination attempt, The Wife of a Noble who was not so secretly courting the Ark Duchess was the responsible, getting jealous at the attention a Blind Woman was receiving, Her name was Crystal Clear... , and the Guards of the Ark Duchess said... , The room is Crystal Clear, referring to the attacker, Pristine Gygxz’Kander, understood the other meaning, ordering her Escorts to leave, not comprehending she wasn’t alone in the room... , Long Story Short, since then, it is prohibited to Name someone Pristine, so there are no further confusions about an area being devoid of enemies, or to reaffirm that a phrase has been totally understood".

{*Sigh*, I hope this doesn’t become a normal practice by Urrein...}

What a detailed explanation, We will be counting on you if there are other mishaps that could endangered a proper communication within the Members of the Exploration Group".

{*Sigh*, I am not even surprised...}

"I will try my best, Instructor Urrein, although, I must saat, History it is not my area of expertise".

The Rwöllmör Ancestor makes a dismissive gesture of acceptance, as she signals Instructor Londra to continue with the arrangement of the Formation.

"Cadet COCK-69".

"What can I be of assistance Instructor Londra?"; Replies instantly the Rogue Cadet as the Mature Tanned Woman is slightly taken aback "You are the Supporting Reinforceline".

"Oh?!, My mistake, please proceed Instructor Londra".

The Mature Tanned Woman does an approving nod and continues "Cadet COCK-69 Khallyon Cravemeneer, your role is inclined to Battle Control".

{WHAT?!, But I suck at giving orders, especially in the fray of a tense Combat, I am basically individualistic and impulsive...}

{Oh?, Oh?!, Oh!, I am receiving this responsibility precisely to prevent this tendency... , Did Try’Phiel speak with Carildia and Urrein about my battle style?, Or they discern it from my positioning after their arrival at the Third Floor of the Cafeteria?...}

"Such role is of the utmost importance, you are the core of the Formation, and your duty it is non other than maintain a stable flow in the combat zone, commanding the Active Mainline in case the formation is flanked, issuing Long Range attacks from the Backline, or performing Surgical Strikes to the opponents the Active Reinforceline can’t Take Down on their own, or requiere additional assistance to do so, of course, you must be aware of the condition of the members, switching them of position to the Backline if they are injured or out of Åyûrïc Nodes".

{How am I supposed to do that?...}

"Cadet COCK-69, Do not be so worried, Instructor Urrein will explain and show to all Contemporary Cadets a way to partially measure the Amount of Vitality, Integrity, Åyûrïc Nodes and Perennence that it is contained on everything".

{That sounds really useful, and must be part of the Lost Knowledge...}
