Ancient God in the Modern World

"Good day, this is your official first day here in the camp. Every morning, I will be here with you for counseling. At this time, if you have problems or concerns, you can ask me." Captain Liberto started their day with a brief explanation regarding his class with them. "But, I hope there will be none," he added as he gave everybody a stern look as if he was warning them to dare have any concerns.

Allen did not care about him. He did not even bat an eye at him. He did not want to ruin his morning. In his perception, Captain Liberto is useless. He keeps on forgetting things.

The counseling lasted for an hour. Captain Liberto discussed the rules and regulations of the camp. And, of all the rules and regulations, the only thing that matters is to be strong fast and quick. Then, fights are allowed as long as there will be no deaths.

For their next class, which is the academic class, they do not need to leave this room. The instructor will be the one coming.

"Hello everyone, Captain Liberto had already introduced me, so I will no longer be introducing myself."

Unexpectedly, the instructor in their academic class is Captain Laura.

"I will be your instructor for your academic class."

One by one, she called their names. Their class consisted of two busses that arrived last. Allen's bus has fifty trainees while the other bus has forty-five.

Thankfully, the classroom is wide. And unlike when they just arrived here, the testing machines are no longer in the room. It was changed with a wooden stage, a large screen, a podium, and a printer. Also, one hundred seats are placed. Since they were only ninety-five in total, five seats are vacant. One of those seats is on Allen's side. Nobody wanted to sit in Allen's side because of his intimidating aura.

In Allen's turn, Allen felt a burst of spiritual energy scanning him. He understood right away that it was Captain Laura is scanning him. He used some of his divine energy to block the scan. He will not permit any scans to his body. The divine energy is altering his body at all times. He was afraid that if it was found, it might cause unnecessary trouble for him.

Captain Laura frowned, then she looked at her tablet. She was shocked that Allen was blocked her scan despite being a student, but when she looked at his ability, he was enlightened. She thought that it was only normal since his ability is all about isolation. But still, she cannot deny that she was indeed surprised and that her ability was blocked.

"The category of lessons in academic class will change every month, and before the category shifts, we will have an exam," Captain Laura said. Then she explained the rules in the training camp.

One term training in the camp will be five and a half months which means that they will have five categories of lessons and five exams. As for the remaining half a month, it will be dedicated to the tournament.

The tournaments are used to test the improvements of the trainees. Those that did not have many improvements will be sent to the frontline for the whole next term, while those with high improvements will be awarded with Military Credits. These terms are used to encourage the trainees to work harder.

"If you don't want to be sent to the frontline, then do your best," Captain Laura said with a cheerful voice as she was happy that the trainees would be sent to the frontline. The trainees knew what would happen to them if they were sent to the frontlines. They've heard rumors regarding how fierce the battle is in the frontline. Soldiers could die at any moment. No one can guarantee their safety, especially the trainees like them. They will die at the moment they step into the frontlines.

But Allen thinks contrary to them. He was excited to go to the frontlines and give hope to the lost souls. But now is not the right time. He, too, did not have a guarantee to live if he went to the frontline. But that does not mean that he cannot benefit from the frontline.

Allen grinned as he thought of a great plan. But he is not going to initiate it for now. He only has one follower. But on second thought, the Plague Master might survive the frontline. After all, he had already done his training and his military service.

The Plague Master is already about forty years old, and ever since he finished his military service, he had been living in the shadows of the city waiting for his prey.

The Plague Master's ability is 'Poison,' which is also the reason why he was called the Plague Master. He assassinates his targets using poison. His targets would be oblivious of the fact that he targeted them until they showed signs of being poisoned. But by that time, there was nothing they could do. The poison would have already spread to their body. They could only wait for their death.

"This month, we will be talking about beasts. I've sent you the book to you. You can open it in your watch," Captain Laura said. Then she pondered for a while before speaking again.

"Also, today and tomorrow is an unofficial holiday for the fresh meats. So, I will leave early today, have a good day, everyone."

Captain Laura left after she said what she wanted to say.

Allen also did not waste any time and left. He has plans for himself. He went back to his dormitory, and when he arrived, he saw the other three.

"Allen, do you want to hang out?" the rude guy asked.

They heard what Allen did to the older years. Such feat is not common.

Now, they truly regretted what they did. they wanted to mend and close the invisible gap within them.. Gap that did not exist because Allen did not put them in his eyes.
