Sword God in a World of Magic

Over the next hour, everyone started doing their work.

The officer was watching everyone from the hill, ensuring no one was slacking off.

Just ten minutes into the hour, the Rookies began to engage the first beast.

They were all attacking a single beast, which was only at the Early General Stage.

Of course, since there were only four Rookies that weren't doomed to mine stone the entire time, the fight was still relatively even.

The officer watched the Rookies attack the lone Early General Stage beast with disdain.

Four warriors were evenly fighting with a beast on their level.

That was way below the officer's standards.

He wanted powerful soldiers, not average ones.

But for now, he let them gain some experience.

After around two minutes, the beast died, and the Rookies rested.

"Get moving! Don't make me come down there!" the officer shouted loudly from atop the hill.

The Rookies looked with shock at the officer.

They had just killed a beast! Weren't they allowed even a second of pause?!

In the end, they went to the next beast with gritted teeth.

Five minutes later, they killed the second beast, and the officer shouted at them to continue going.

Over the next 30 minutes, the Rookies killed two more beasts.

While they were walking to the next one, the officer snorted.

"These idiots," he said just loud enough for the three Numbers to hear him. "I don't know if they are just not paying attention or if they can't see what's in front of them."

"Let one of them die," the officer ordered the three people standing behind him. "They have to learn."

"Understood," One said as he charged forward.

Zero and Two followed closely behind.

The Rookies were currently charging at a huge salamander. It was over three meters high and over ten meters long. It was redish-orange, and it simply stood motionless at one spot.

The Rookies closed in and got into formation.

Then, they attacked the same way they had attacked the other beasts.

Two of them charged at it from the front, wanting to get its attention.

However, the salamander didn't move.

When they saw that it didn't move, they attacked it with their weapons.

CRK! CLINK!

The heavier weapon managed to crack some of its scales, but the lighter weapon bounced off.

The Rookies immediately halted, their eyes wide with shock.
