Kill The Dragons 32 Squad Leader, Han Lee

Han moved his airbeat with telekinesis. The movements were delicate and precise. Han's telekinesis was not strong, but he was capable of flexible and precise movements.

'The only thing I can be better at than others would be my fine control of telekinesis.'

Han judged his skills objectively. A squad leader must be knowledgeable of not only his squad's capabilities and skills, but also his own.

"That's amazing! Canute!"

Kuro shouted in the shooting range. Han looked behind him.

"Well, this much is a piece of cake."

Canute brightly laughed.

All twenty bullets had hit the bull's-eye, even though it was his first time shooting a gun. His precision while moving was also fair. Jose, on the other hand, hit the bull's-eye fourteen out of twenty times.

It wasn't bad, but their skills were on different levels.

"But would there be a time we need to use guns?"

Jose put his gun down and asked.

"Among different squad compet.i.tions, there is one called the gun survival."

Han answered. They would need to shoot a designated amount of times inside the shooting ranges.

He had outstanding focus so he had a talent for shooting.

The thirteenth squad's two new transfers were given three weeks to complete the second year curriculum. They had to get accustomed to using various new equipment, including the airbeat. Jose and Canute scored high across all drills, but their unique skills differed drastically.

'Jose is skilled in close combat, he's good at fighting together as a team, and he pays attention to his teammates before making his next move.'

Han looked to Canute who was standing on the opposite side. Canute was tall, and his arms and legs were long. Amongst the squad, he was the fastest.

'Canute considers a variety of aspects, making his decisions very dependable; he is suitable for solo runs and he understands when to work together and when to split up the team.'

Han gathered the squad members and gave a briefing of everyone's main role.

"We will divide into group 1 and 2. The first group is Canute and I. The second group is Jose and Kuro. The basic battle strategy will be the first group will be the main attackers, the second group will provide support."

Canute rose his hand to ask a question.

"Can I ask what your thought process is in grouping us in this way?"

Han nodded. He projected all the data of his squad members he had organized prior with his data bracelet. He had organized the last three weeks of training drills into data format.

"If there is any conflicting data, do speak now."

"I have no objections."

Han and Canute confirmed.

"Group 1, Canute can easily break away from enemies, even if we were to be surrounded because we have high agility. That's why you're the advance guard, Canute. Find out the enemy's position and notify the rest of the squad. You're the squad's eyes and ears

"How about the second group?"

"Jose's role will be to a.s.sist Kuro. Kuro is responsible for taking down the enemies that aim for our lives. However, depending on the situation, Jose will need to go back and forth between groups. You're the squad's backbone. Kuro, use your psychic powers to support us from a distance. He's one of the few psykers in year 2 who can give out fatal blows with his psychic skills alone.

Han sent the hefty amount of data he had compiled of their basic war tactics, variables, and speculations on how these tactics would work through his data bracelet. The amount of data was no joke.

"Did you compile this yourself?"

Jose opened the data he received on his data bracelet. This was the first time he had seen a break down of their war tactics in this type of data format. It felt like he received a new textbook to study.

"Memorize it before our compet.i.tion. When we're out in the field, we won't have enough time to discuss every aspect of the tactic we're going to carry out. We must move out in a fluid motion like we're one ent.i.ty. This will be our squad's core strength. In order to achieve this, we must share our tactical thought processes. We must be able to mentally read each other like twins by simply observing the other's behaviors."

The youths looked through Han's battle tactic textbook.

Their eyes grew wide in shock. Everyone had received training through official military procedures. They understood how much painstaking labor he had went through to compile all this data.

'We can win.'

Han had devised various tactics dedicated for specific squad compet.i.tions. They were exhaustive and thorough tactics made for the purpose of winning the squad battles.

Han had remained quiet and docile ever since he had been incorporated into the seventh squad. He had been forming battle tactics for the sake of his squad inside his room.

"Everyone will be looking down on us. They will call us traitors and dregs. Let them talk all they want. Nothing will come of protesting. We will show them through results. We will make everyone regret not joining squad 13 when they had the chance."

The postponement period for squad 13 ended. They were now required to partic.i.p.ate in the squad battles decided upon by the drill instructors. They could not decide their opponents nor type of battle theme. They had to adapt to whatever situation they were thrown in.

Han laid in his bed and stared at his data bracelet. Their first squad battle would be announced soon. The squad battle theme was more important than finding out who their opponents were.

"Anything but aerial squad battles."

Squad 13 was the weakest when it came to aerial battles. It would be difficult to beat the second year seniors who had been training in aerial tactics for a long time.

Diring

His data bracelet flashed. Han read the hologram message projected in the air.

-Squad 9 vs Squad 13: Gun Survival.

Han slyly laid down again. His expression changed subtly. He was able to avoid the worrying aerial battles.

However the survival combat against squad 9 felt especially meaningful.

'Those drill instructors…. They're really throwing me into the lion's den.'

The ninth squad ranked the best in shooting. They have over 80 percent chance of winning the gun survival.

'They must have purposely aimed for this. This wasn't a randomized match.'

Han narrowly opened his eyes. He pulled himself together once more.

'The number of partic.i.p.ants is based on the smaller squad. Then four squad members would compete from the ninth squad. They would probably pick their best to compete. The members of the ninth squad are probably shouting with delight over their easy victory.

Han sent his squad the information of their next battle. He quietly closed his eyes and opened them again.

'We'll show them and win.'

The ninth and thirteenth squad battle received all the attention. Everyone still treated the thirteenth squad with much hostility.

The seventh squad outright hated on the thirteenth squad and purposely spread hateful rumors. People gave them the cold shoulder whenever they pa.s.sed the thirteenth squad in the military training grounds or cafeteria.

"Electric guns are used in the gun survival battles. These guns are to be handled in the same way as R-2s."

Han spoke in front of his squad members. Kuro was already familiar with this information, but it was the first time for Jose and Canute.

Schllk.

Han loaded his gun and fired. A spark fired on the center of the target.

"For future reference, getting hit will hurt a lot. Once you're hit, you'll be paralyzed. You won't be able to move your arms or legs; if you're hit two to three times you won't be able to move at all from the excruciating pain. Other than the fact that it's very difficult to kill with, it's no different than a real gun."

"'Very difficult,' does that mean it's possible to die?"

Jose asked.

"If you're hit in the eye or head, it's possible. As long as you don't take off your safety equipment, you won't have to worry about it at all. The helmet is insulated."

Han equipped his helmet. He closed his helmet s.h.i.+eld. The other squad members geared their safety equipment as well.

"This is so stuffy and irritating. My vision is narrow. I really hate these type of equipments. Won't it be fine as long as I don't get hit?"

Canute complained. Han pushed Canute's helmet down with all his strength.

"Canute! Do you want to die? Never take it off. I will never approve of it, no matter what the situation."

Han's eyes seemed to flash. Canute was taken aback by Han and found himself automatically nodding.

'Did I make him mad somehow? He seems extra serious.'

Canute quirked his head. Only when Canute properly equipped his helmet did Han's rigid expression soften.

Han had witnessed his fair share of deaths among the year 2 military drills. Many trained by running mock situations that were similar to what would happen in the squad battles.

Skimping on safety was the perfect way to die or suffer serious injuries.

'I won't let anybody die in my squad.'

Han and his squad equipped their safety gear and practiced to get accustomed to it. Canute had found it uncomfortable, but after awhile he adjusted and his speed quickened to his usual pace.

"This narrow range of vision goes for our opponent as well. The only difference is that squad 9 has ranking marksmen. Four of their veterans in gun survival will fight against us."

His squad members understood they had a huge disadvantage.

"We'll only win if you put yourself in that mindset. Fighting with a disheartened heart will only result in a loss."

Jose added his thoughts as well. Han nodded and agreed.

"Jose is right. Everyone should have memorized our battle tactics by now, right?"

Canute nodded matter of factly, while Jose and Kuro had slightly hesitant expressions.

Jose and Kuro didn't have the fastest memorization skills. It would be impossible to memorize everything perfectly in such a short period of time.

Han had also considered this while forming his plans.

"The battle tactic name is called the moving bunker. I know it sounds childish, but I only thought of it now so don't laugh."

Han said.

"The moving bunker?"

Everyone received a message to gather on their data bracelets. They were to gather at the eighth training grounds. Han observed his squad's expressions and nodded.

"I'll explain while we are moving."

The eighth training grounds were located inside an overgrown forest. The artificial forest trees stood tall to make one reminisce of the northern European forests. The forest scent wafted thickly. Squad 9 and 13 were on standby at opposite ends of the forest.

BANG!

The instructor shot the gun to the sky. This had signaled the start for each squad.
