Chapter 7
A/N: I don't own anything.
Moonrose was not happy to be up, but after a few weeks of classes she knew she should get up despite how she wanted to sleep in. Throwing the blankets off, she tossed on her uniform and began her cleaning duties.
"Y'all ready?" Chromia asked. "If we don't hurry up all the sausage will be gone."
The girls ran down the stairs, nearly crashing into Beachcomber whom was hopping around trying to get dressed. "Idiot," Lancer muttered and the others snickered as they went into the mess hall.
"So Misty, interested in any of the guys?" Mia asked as they got their food. "Maybe Barron?"
"Not my type."
"How about Sanders?" she pressed.
"Mia, how do you even have the energy for dating?" Rose asked.
"It's not my fault you're picky," the female weapon's expert defended.
"Chromia, just leave her alone. There may be a guy back home she's got her eye on," Lancer defended.
"Doesn't mean she can't have a sweetheart," the other pointed out. "Listen to her and you'll have a baby soon enough." Lancer was a young mother to a daughter she named Ashfall, who was staying with her grandparents while her mother went to school; so Rose knew to take life advice from Lancer over Chormia any day.
The bells rang signaling the end of breakfast and Mia gathered her things. "Send Hide my love Brooks," the warrior woman said strutting away.
Physical Training was a bitch to put it frankly. She was drenched with sweat by the first half-hour. She barely had enough time to shower before she rushed to the History of Warfare which was taught by Omega Supreme. He was actually an amazing teacher, using realistic scenarios to make the class easier to fallow. "So this morning we'll discuss magic in warfare. Obviously this mostly deals with Kaon, Iacon, and the Clans," he said.
Barron raised his hand. "Why do those of us from the Alliance need to know this?" His tone suggested he thought the teacher was suggesting summoning Unircon himself.
"Cadet Barron. Assuming that you have the power to predict the future; can you promise that everyone in here will never use magical tactics or go to war against a nation that uses them? Kaon for example?"
"Well no sir, but it seems unlikely—"
"Unlikely tactics will be your undoing," Supreme said. "I can guarantee that Kaon will use magical tactics. It is a nation full of wizards; from the poorest commoner, to the King himself."
"Don't know what age you're living in, but Kaon doesn't have a royal family," Barron snickered.
"Actually, the royal line has been reinstated after it was lost for a thousand years, and the recently crowned wizard king now is actually arriving soon to study magic," the teacher replied. "Perhaps Cadet it is you who needs to look at recent events." The class snickered at the flustered teen.
Omega Supreme continued to explain the origin of wizardry, the use of magic during wars, and the magic used by every "Cursed" whatever that meant. While she was ahead of her classmates, Moonrose did discover that he knew far more than she did about the subject.
"Can an amulet loaded with demon magic be used by someone else—gifted or not?" a student asked, no doubt originating from the Alliance.
"Cadet Brooks, you're from Iacon, tell me. Can an amulet loaded with magic from a wizard be used by someone else?" Omega asked. "Frankly i don't know, and since you are from one of the two wizard nations I figured you would.
"I don't believe so, but I'm not certain. I have heard that magic accumulated within an amulet can only be used by the wizard that put it there," she answered.
"Thank you. So we've seen the tactics used by King Megatronus Redfire Darkell-Prime, also known as the Fallen, were both innovative as well as devastatingly effective." Some students made the symbol to ward off evil. "That symbol won't protect you from a Cursed. For those of you who don't know what a Cursed is; they are members of the Darkell family that are extremely powerful, more powerful than most. In fact, the Fallen was a Cursed; as well as the new King. What we do know before the Breaking is that Megatronus was fortified in one of his palaces—which one is still unknown to this day—but it was said he was betrayed by someone he trusted. If it weren't for that, there was no doubt his army would've conquered all of Cybertron without a hitch. So take this into consideration when choosing allies: who can you trust? Because if you pick the wrong person, all the weapons, tactics, and even magic in the world won't be able to save you."
A/N: I know, I know; it's a short chapter, but this was all I could think of for it. Next chapter should be longer.
