I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 307 [Bonus chapter] Bring Boys Home

“There is no place to form those projectiles… then…” she paused as she looked up at me and I nodded.

“The monster core worked to generate energy,” I explained my theory, pointing at the core and the structure it lay within with my glaive as if it was a stick, “and through that structure, it transformed this energy to form the projectiles.”

“Then the projectiles will pass through the thick arms here,” the girl added, as she understood my point clearly and quickly, “interesting…”

“Do you want us to mimic this?” The funny guy came closer and this time he looked more attentive than before. “But do you want us to form projectiles as well?”

“No,” I didn’t want that, “I just want you to use these cores to develop energy we can use. Forming things from energy directly is a feat that will take much longer than you might think.”

“We never thought it would take such a short time, you did,” that dude returned to his funny nature before adding, “also the task of making this alien thing produce electricity-like energy is something nearly impossible.”

“It’s hard to transform this energy into something electricity-like,” the girl stood up as she nodded her head in agreement, “we still don’t know the nature of this energy, what are the similarities and differences from our electricity.”

“Why are you so fixated over electricity this much?” I noticed they started to mention electricity nearly in every sentence they spoke.

“Everything we have runs on electricity,” the calmer dude explained, “if we generated another form of energy, like directly harvesting the energy of this core, it won’t let our things work.”

“Then throw away the electricity concept,” I firmly said.

“What?!!!” The three literally jumped off their feet when they heard what I said.

“It’s simple, you change the building of anything we have, let it run over the new form of energy.”

“But…”

“I know it will take a ton of work and lots of time,” I interrupted the girl, “but it’s something we have to do. Forget about electricity, forget about everything we used to work with before. We need to start fresh, start our own civilization over our own creations.”

“…”

The three looked in silence to each other. I knew this might be a hard step, a very hard starting quest, but it had to be done.

After all, if we used electricity to modify our weapons, we might succeed. But to create new weapons from scratch… We would surely fail.

Not to mention the success rate of modifying the existing weapons was so low using normal electricity. We had to solve the problem of energy before anything else.

“So we are going to do it? Only the three of us?” the girl asked such a silly question.

“All of you,” I said before adding, “all of the MIT genius minds will collaborate on this.”

“But…”

“We can’t work and leave the city unprotected.”

“What if those scary dudes came again? You don’t expect to scare them away using words!”

I looked at these three and realised they still didn’t get their current situation yet. “This area is going to be protected by my forces,” I said and before anyone else would interrupt, I added, “and I’ll leave a strong force behind, enough to secure this place for a long time.”

“Ok,” the three didn’t have any more issues as they agreed on such an arrangement. “But about these cores…” the calmer guy asked and I looked at the large number of monsters being brought over by my forces.

“You can use these for now,” I simply gave them all this loot, “the cores can help in producing energy, and the other parts are excellent materials in making good weapons.”

“So we are going to cut octopuses and cook their bodies into weapons?” The funny guy seemed to return to being funny again.

“You can eat their flesh if you wanted,” I followed his humour with my words, “but make sure to cook them right or else you might die out of poison.”

“They can be eaten?” the girl asked and I couldn’t help but bitterly smile.

“Every monster here can be eaten, but beware of their undercooked meat. Or else you might end up dying of indigestion.”

“This…”

“Just use them for your studies,” I waved at the three, “as for food, you can look for good chefs from around to help you cook the flesh.”

“Ok,” the funny guy rubbed his hands while his mouth drooled over these monsters. It seemed he didn’t only have a silly sense of humour, but also was a food addict as well.

“I’ll leave my boys here to gather up everything,” I said while returning to my chariot, “make sure to start working fast. I don’t have much time to waste here.”

“Are you going to leave soon?” the calmer guy shouted and I simply raised my fist in the air.

“Just make sure to do your work properly. Gather everyone here in one hour, ok?”

I returned to my chariot and looked for a few minutes over their actions. The funny dude left and the other two remained behind, seemingly starting to study the monsters thoroughly.

“They will be fine,” I muttered, “I just hope they will exceed my expectations… and now…” I looked again at the direction of the city.

The forces here were scattered to claim the fortresses and emblems. I met all the force representatives, only that cult people hadn’t appeared yet.

[Have everyone gathered?]

But instead of going around and talking to them, I simply decided to bring their leaders here alongside everyone else.

Now the three cities were under my control. It was just time before the entire emblems and forts fell under my control.

So it was time to bring the boys home.

[We are all here] Hilary sent, [Are you ready to open a hole in the shield for us?]

[Girl… I’m not that weak to wait all this time for you] I laughed before adding, [Things are all settled here. Just bring forth everyone and come to Cambridge city]
