Universal Power System

The group enjoyed a delicious and nutritious meal before going their separate ways to visit the various special training centers that they wanted to sign up for.

Each center's location and timings were mentioned in the information tab within the ID card. Since these courses were considered extras, they didn't contribute towards the student's grades or rewards which didn't really provide a great incentive for them to take more than one as they would rather use their free time training and becoming stronger which was monitored and rewarded for.

Additionally, there were many time clashes between the courses as several of them took place at the same time making it impossible for a cadet to attend all of them, but as per Angela's own words, every class had its own importance and value and it was up to the student which class they wanted to attend depending on which career path they wanted to pursue.

Mako wasn't quite sure which career path he wanted to pursue as now he had far greater responsibilities. Before he had received the system, Mako had aimed to become a space lieutenant which was a great rank to achieve considering his capabilities at that time, but now Mako had a far greater responsibility and for him to achieve his goals, he had to become a prominent and powerful being among the military ranks.

Of the special training courses available, several had caught Mako's eye and he wanted to visit all of them before making a decision.

Firstly, he checked out the ability and combat training classes which were taught by the same teachers as his normal classes; Mr Yuki and Miss Mei respectively.

The basic skills and ability mastery class was only going to teach the cadets about the strengths and weaknesses of most common abilities alongside training to gain a basic mastery over these abilities; however, this didn't include rare abilities like Mako's Energy Manipulation ability leaving him with no guidance on how to master this strong ability.

The special training course for ability mastery on the other hand focuses on this very aspect as Mr. Yuki provided personal guidance and training to students who possessed all kinds of rare abilities which were difficult to grow and master.

Similarly, the basic combat class only taught the cadets basic fighting and defensive forms and techniques, highlighting their uses and the correct time to use which technique and form.

The standardized forms and techniques taught in class were designed to be accessible to everyone, but they didn't always cater to individual differences like strength, body type, and abilities. This meant that some students struggled to find techniques that truly suited them and could effectively incorporate these factors into their fighting style. As a result, it became challenging to personalize training to match each student's unique attributes, potentially limiting their overall progress.

The special training course for combat was similar to ability mastery in which Miss Mei would examine each student individually and recommend the best techniques and forms that suited their profile and would them fight ideally.

*****************

As Mako walked out of the dojo-like room that was the training room for the special combat class, Mako quickly realized that all of these special courses were actually just the regular courses that they were promised to receive when they were still in the special class.

It all clicked inside Mako's head as he figured out the system that the military had set up. It was obvious that children born into strong and rich families had an edge over others and it wasn't easy to bridge the gap between them.

Of course, strong cadets were going to receive special treatment but the military school was set up in a way that anyone with a strong determination and resistance could climb the ranks. This was why these additional classes were available to the cadets and a reward system was put in place so that the cadets with poor circumstances but potential could put in some extra effort and work hard to elevate their status.

After asking around the staff a bit, Mako learned the same held true about the basic class which was below the advanced class. The basic class was mostly filled with cadets who either didn't participate in the recruitment test since they weren't confident enough or didn't possess an ability.

The basic classes had even simpler regular classes in which they taught the very fundamentals of everything including channeling mana, fighting, controlling abilities, learning skills, resource management, etc with them also being given the option to take "advanced" extra classes of their choosing to better themselves in a certain aspect of themselves to gain an edge and potentially advance to a higher class.

*******************

Mako was demoted from the special class to the advanced class due to "failing" at their first official mission, but it meant that the superiors had deemed him worthy of that status before his demotion so it was possible for him to regain that title again.

He had learned a lot from Commander Sable during the time he had spent training with him and unlike his friends, he felt that his fighting and ability mastery were at a decent enough level that he would rather use his precious time in some of the other special classes that he hadn't had the chance to take during his time training back at the military base.

With this new goal in mind, Mako took off some of the other special courses from his list that he was interested in before because now that he knew that he would receive all of them once he was back in the special class, he focused on choosing a course that would promise him the greatest amount of improvement.

Of the ones that he was interested in, a couple of them were about knowledge such as learning about the detailed history of the Yalhvi, detailed accounts of Human history in the 25th Century which was the time in which his great grandfather was alive, and special universal affairs class which taught about all the differents that took place all over the galaxy in the most amount of detail.

All of these courses weren't meant to help Mako improve in any way but rather just to satiate his curiosity and thirst for knowledge which was something that was still the same about him even after everything that had happened.

Now that he knew that he could learn all of these things and many more once he was back in the special class, he dropped them from his list which only left two courses that he still held an interest in and that would help him improve in things which he was still very weak in.

The first was the special power weapons class. During the time that he trained in the military base under Commander Sable, Mako mostly focused on his abilities and hand-to-hand combat and mostly neglected any kind of training with weapons or power weapons for that matter.

The commander did teach him the basics of the sword but those were only the fundamentals and he still wasn't good with the sword unlike some of the cadets that he had seen in his class during the regular power weapons class they had this morning.

Weapons were also an essential and crucial part of defining a person's strength as a master could easily overpower an opponent even if they didn't use abilities and being able to Directly support the authors on WebNovel!

balance abilities, weapons, and fighting style was the mark of a strong and powerful fighter.

The second course in which he was still interested was the mana training class.

The mana training class was exclusive to the special class as it was something very difficult to grasp and very time-

consuming as it would take cadets a long time before they started to see minimal results.

This was partly the reason why very few cadets from the whole advanced class had signed up for this course as it didn't promise quick results and sounded boring. Most cadets wanted to become strong and flashy which was why the combat and ability mastery classes were the most popular picks.

Another reason was also the fact that many cadets didn't even fully understand what it meant to understand and influence pure mana. Like Commander Malik had explained to them earlier today, mana was the coding language of the universe so learning it or even attempting to understand it would be difficult but the rewards at the end of this dark and long tunnel were very great.

There wasn't a time schedule mentioned for the mana training class which was a bit odd, but Mako just put it at the back of his mind for the time being as he would inquire about it once he visited the training center, but first he decided to visit the special power weapons class to learn more before deciding which of the two he would sign up for.

Mako traveled back to the main campus as the special power weapons class took place in the exact same weapons hall in which he took his regular class today in the morning.

He entered the hall expecting to see a couple of cadets browsing around and asking the teacher questions about the course just like he had seen in every other training room he had entered; however, the moment that he entered the room, the door shut off behind him and several system notifications appeared in front of Mako's eyes.

[The user has been suppressed]

[User is too weak to overcome the effects of the suppression]

[Whilst suppressed, the user's body is denied mana, therefore preventing him from using any of their abilities or their skills.]

[Passive activation of ability aura has also been blocked, hence the user is unable to receive the bonus in attributes that come with keeping the aura of an ability active]

[Leave the range of the suppressor to regain the ability to access and manipulate mana]
