Chapter 146: Chapter 107: Calier’s Inhuman Voice

Director Miller said approvingly, "I knew you were a good kid."

Afterwards, she talked a lot about the cooperation between Jinworth Academy and Calier’s secret forces.

In Royal City, there were always many divergences about the path forward.

Surviving in such a harsh world was not a simple matter.

Among humans, there was never a shortage of bright minds, who had devised various methods and means for survival.

Some were reliable, some ludicrous, and some downright cruel.

How to judge which paths were right, which were wrong, and which were harmful was an eternal theme in the Supreme Council.

Since the New King took office, he had transformed the past’s harshness into tolerance and charity.

Anything that involved human heritage and continuity was open to discussion.

Except for putting out fires or delving into darkness, all were permissible.

This was the law of the New King.

The taboos of old Trolian were numerous; merely having a Soul Trait contrary to fire, such as water, darkness, cold, mind control, Soul Devouring, would lead directly to being burned to death.

For someone like Rod, whose Fire Spark name contained the word ’black’, appearing in Royal City twenty years ago would have only meant being thrown into the secret experimental facility beneath Stone City—

"Calier’s Inhuman Voices."

Just as where there is light, there will be shadows, Trolian possessed powers beyond just fire.

In its long history, Trolian had faced several crises of destruction. In moments of life and death, the King of the time, disregarding everything, had sought power beyond fire.

The specific processes are unknown due to the great calamity of 708, and many scholars only know that afterward, the secret experimental facility "Calier’s Inhuman Voices" was established beneath Stone City.

That same year, "Calier’s Secret Forces" organized by "Calier’s Inhuman Voices" was born.

It became the shadow beneath the light, a supplementary force to the three major legionsof Trolian.

And the laboratory within "Calier’s Inhuman Voices" that nurtured this troop, was simply the Jinworth Academy in the shadows.

But it was far more cruel than Jinworth Academy.

Due to its violation of the faith of fire and its complete contradiction with the worldview of most, its existence was deemed top-secret by Royal City, known only to those with the relevant authority.

That Rod could now learn of it was because his name was listed in the "Jinworth’s Secret Forces Experimental Branch."

This was a project carried out in cooperation between Jinworth Academy and Calier’s Inhuman Voices, aimed at rapidly growing a group of mature, strong, independent warriors.

It was an act of necessity.

For years, Jinworth Academy had adhered to the Dean’s nurturing program, always aiming for holistic development, and had consistently opposed the idea of training its students as mere weapons.

The effects were slow; the costs, high. Students needed to spend four years learning thoroughly about history, culture, tactical strategy, the kingdom’s situation, potions, monster species, and more before they could eventually graduate and enter the battlefield.

A faction within the Supreme Council deemed this unnecessary.

Less gifted students only needed to learn combat-related skills quickly before they could be sent to the battlefield.

It would save expenses and shorten the cycle, allowing for quick replenishment of the combatant shortfall among the legions.

However, Dean Theodore was very senior and had numerous brilliant achievements. His strong capabilities and high prestige allowed the academy to keep up its practices.

"People are not weapons, they are miracles with endless possibilities."

This was Lord Theodore’s philosophy and the motto believed by all the teachers and instructors at Jinworth Academy.

It did indeed create countless miracles, enabling many ordinary people to eventually shine brightly.

However, with the development of Star City and the looming disaster, external pressures on Royal City were mounting, and the discourse on weapons was resurfacing.

After numerous debates, both sides eventually reached a compromise.

In partnership with Calier’s Inhuman Voices, known for rapid growth, early maturity, and strong combat capabilities, Jinworth Academy formed the "Jinworth’s Secret Forces Experimental Branch."

Jinworth picked a batch of students suitable for growth in combat, and instructors from both sides jointly devised a training plan to quickly strengthen them into formidable combatants, sharing the defense pressures across various parts of Trolian.

The "Jinworth’s Secret Forces Experimental Branch" was now officially included in the combat sequence.

Soon, they would be deployed into battle just like regular legions.

"We’ve delineated an area in the eastern part of Heidler Training Ground as the base for the secretive branch,"

Director Miller informed him.

"Starting tomorrow, you will spend most of your time at the base. After you’ve completed the combat training, you will leave Royal City. So, you need to prepare quickly."

Rod felt inexplicably nervous; this sounded quite serious.

But it was too late to back out now, so he could only take out the Dean’s whistle.

"Director Miller, its energy is exhausted. Can Lord Dean help me recharge it?"

Director Miller showed a slight smile:

"The Dean has stepped out, but he specifically instructed me on this matter."

She pulled out a bottle from her pocket, inside which was a shallow layer of glowing silver liquid.
