The Conspiracy of the Elites

Chapter 23: preparation

He selected an exotic sword, a pair of exotic daggers, 2 rapid-fire automatic pistols, a 2-form gun, and exotic armor.

Im ready man, he thought excitedly after getting the pieces of equipment he wanted.

This is what it feels like to be badass," his expression slowly morphed into a grin. "Man, lets do this.

The automatic pistols he selected this time are not like the ones they were given for the second training.

These are entirely different beasts, as they use bullets with a very strong punch and can release 20 bullets per second. The 2-form gun is one of the results of the technological advancement of this century.

A 2-form gun is a gun that has 2 forms, and they can be changed manually or verbally to the form you want. The 2 forms of the gun he chose are a sniper rifle and a machine gun.

The badass armor he chose was also a result of this eras technological breakthroughs. It is very convenient to use when activated, and its just like a military uniform when in use, but can resist a lot of heavy fire from any opposition.

When in use, it surrounds the user with a faint blue energy film. The exotic armor is not like conventional armor, it's energy-powered gear. When paired in conjunction with a camouflage device, the blue glow from the energy film can be hidden.

The low-grade armor he picked can withstand continuous fire from any machine gun of the 21st century for hours, if not days. It can still withstand a lot of firepower from enemies this century. An armor to a soldier is just like his/her second life.

Unlike him, Leo selected an exotic sword, a pair of exotic daggers, 2 rapid-fire automatic pistols, a box of throwing knives, and an exotic armor. The cadets were only allowed to take 5 equipment; he chose a box of throwing knives because he is a more melee-oriented fighter.

Both friends didnt pick their weapons on a whim, they both already researched and decided that this set of weapons was most suited to their style of fighting.

What even sealed Clarks choice was that he once dreamt of himself wielding this set of weapons. And most especially, it looked badass and he liked the style so he went for it.

After picking their weapons of choice, both friends admired themselves a little before going to meet sergeant Modric at the central table. Other cadets were already there, so they waited as others were attended to before it came to their turn.

Clark went first. As one of the few cadets who had a breakthrough, he naturally received better treatment. Sergeant Modric smiled at him as he transferred the data he needed to his implant.

He received a backpack in which was stored abundant bullets for his pistols and sniper rifle, a wristwatch, and a hacking device was also stored inside. All the information he needed was already transferred to his implant, so he saluted the sergeant as he got up to leave.

Leo also went to get his, as his friend quickly went over the information transferred to his implant. It was a video recording of captain Spoky.

"Good day cadets. For the advanced technology training this batch, you are required to infiltrate a temporary base of a Persian Tigers regiment or division".

"Do not get overly worried, these bases are the lowest in terms of quality of soldiers and technological resources. We know your capability, we did not give you anything impossible at this stage".

"Try to be recruited by them, it will greatly ease your infiltration. After entering, bide your time before using your military hacking device to hack their database.

Check for the number of soldiers and high-grade soldiers that they have. After that, plan your assault properly to give yourself an advantage.

The backpack given to you has an inbuilt jamming device and a camouflage device. This is the main advantage you have over the terrorists, as your gadgets are of a higher quality than the one they have".

"The jamming device will help you disguise and hide your military-grade weapons, without getting detected by their surveillance devices. The camouflage device will distort your outward look to present you as a normal homeless youth. You already learned how its operated, so I wont elaborate. The rest is up to you.

The wristwatch on the backpack will be your guide; only you can activate it. It will look like a normal wristwatch to anyone else who observes it.

Only one cadet will be sent to a specific base, you will all be sent to different bases. The wristwatch will show you the way to the terrorist base and will also provide you with your escape route when you think its time to retreat".

"The duration for this last phase of your training is a month and 3 weeks. Good luck cadets, I hope I can still see your faces a month and 3 weeks from now in the joy of graduation. Captain Spoky gave his trademark ferocious smile as the video recording ended.

After Clark finished watching the video, he discovered his friend beside him still immersed in his implant.

He patiently waited, not long after Leo finished the video. He opened his eyes and glanced at his friend who was also staring at him.

Clark simply bumped his broad shoulders to dispel the awkward air, before telling him seriously.

Good luck bro, I hope we see each other on graduation day. Dont die," he added with a stern face.

Leo glanced at him for a while before suddenly chuckling. I didnt think you already missed me this much. Dont cry bro, I can scale through this.

Clark rolled his eyes on hearing his friend's speech, as he cursed resentfully. Prick, whos missing you? Dream on, you pathetic piece of shit.

He bunked his friend's head again, as he resolutely turned around to leave. They were not girls, so they were definitely not going to do any dramatic form of farewell.

All the cadets were given 500 Spartan credits for transport and other necessities. With this, all of their expenses to cruise through this last phase were already in stock.

So, it started, Clarks legendary story of greatness as he left in high spirits to face the world again after 3 years of isolated training as a cadet.
