My Space-Time System

On Major Reeves's command, the special ops team jumped off the wall leaving the students shocked as they ran to the edge of the wall.

When the special ops had gone halfway down the wall, mana cable shot out of the wall and attached to the black straps that were now glowing blue. Their descent was immediately halted and the special oops team were looking at the Sabertooth moose which was their target.

That was when a blue ripple spread from the strap and went down their feet propelling them at an incredible speed towards the sabertooth moose. When they were halfway, the orbs on 2 of the special ops began glowing causing them to stop and begin floating.

The students were wondering why they had stopped, but that was when a large earth pillar erupted from below. They landed on it and instantly an orange dome prevented the beasts from getting close to the pillar.

The other 3 special ops continued moving towards the sabertooth which was now charging at them. When they were a few meters away from the charging tank, the blue orb at the center of the strap released a wave of Mana that propelled them upwards.

"The special ops unit is always made of the attacking force which is composed of 3 people and defenders which is 2 people." Major Reeves began explaining as they saw the special ops reposition themselves mid-air with fire and wind elements.

"The attacking force is comprised of fire or wind users with penetrative elements. Coupled with the elements and the propelling effects of the straps, they are able to quickly get rid of the target with the utmost efficiency while staying safe." Major Reeves said.

At this point, the Sabertooth moose had turned and was about to continue its charge on the 3 special ops, but that was when an earth pillar erupted from below knocking it a few inches into the air.

BOOM!

Before the sabertooth moose could react a flameburst crashed into its face, causing it to be blinded for a moment.

Swish! Swish!

Two wind blades cut through its legs, and when it finally touched the ground, a streak of lightning went through its neck, ending its life.

"Apart from acting as a support and distraction for the attacking force, the defenders act as a refueling station." Major Reeves said causing everyone to look at him with a confused look on their faces.

When the pillar had appeared, mana cables had been sent from underground through the pillar, all the way to the top. For situations where the operation took longer than expected, it was basically suicide for the attacking force to land on the ground swarmed by beasts, so they were to retreat to the pillar to recharge the blue orb on the straps.

'Wow, that is even more dangerous than I had imagined!' Blake shivered when he imagined himself on the pillar being surrounded by a sea of beasts.

With Sabertooth moose dead, the attacking force regrouped with the defenders before they flew back to the wall and returned to their position beside Major Reeves.

"The execution would be divided into 2 phases, and each phase would be 5 points. The 1st phase would be to kill an assigned target just like the special ops, while the 2nd stage is to wipe out all the beasts using the same method." Major Reeves stated.

'Things are getting crazy at an exponential rate.' Blake couldn't help but comment when he heard their task.

The reason he thought so was that this was a difficult exercise and it was the first one that had 2 phases. Apart from that, they had no experience with the floating straps making the exercise twice more difficult.

"You would be given the floating straps and 30 minutes to get accustomed to them and to make preparations." Major Reeves said as ash corps began handing out the black floating straps to the teams.

'30 minutes? Do they want to get us killed?!' Brian shouted in the mind link.

[No need to complain, the strongest are those who are able to adapt to whatever is thrown at them.] The system said.

Ignoring the system's words, Blake and his team moved over to a different side of the wall where they began practicing with the floating straps.

"Interesting… The orb at the center is able to transfer pulses of Mana to all parts of the user's body, but it is strongest at the location of the orb." Blake said as he lay face down in mid-air. "That is why the attacking force is made of those with elements that could propel them."

Blake tried redirecting the pulses to his feet, but he noticed that the speed and power weren't as powerful due to the increased weight. The straps were created to be on the waist because that was the location of a human's center of mass, meaning less weight to carry, therefore less energy consumed.

"So the pro tip is to float with the straps while using your elements to swiftly change direction." Blake explained to his team. "As for how they were able to get out so far, my guess is that the Mana cables had supercharged the orbs granting them more than enough energy to launch towards the target."

"Now that has been dealt with, how do we plan on passing this exercise?" Brian asked looking at Blake.

"It's quite simple, I, Luciano, and Castiel would be the attacking force while you and Tessie would be protecting the pillar." Blake said. Their team was literally made for situations like this, not only did they have outstanding firepower, the combination of plant, earth, and water elements was synonymous with unbreakable defense.

After the 30 minutes had elapsed, the teams returned to their positions where they were assigned targets amongst the multitude of beasts below the wall.

Blake's team had been assigned to take down an elite rank Octopus elephant.. This normally would be a problem, but with them avoiding to stay out of the reach of other beasts below while still fighting the octopus elephant was surely tasking.
