Russel wakes up after having the best sleep of his life. The rollercoaster finally makes a pit stop and he feels well rested.

  He sees that the infirmary is now empty and Jack is not laying there anymore. After getting a nutritious food pill from the nurse, he stands up and makes his way to the office the Commander told him about.

  "Hmm? My body feels stronger." Russel feels that something has hanged. He wills his status screen to appear in front him.

  --------------------------------------

  NEW UPGRADE: Titans Structure;

  --------------------------------------

  After reading that he dismisses his status screen. It truly is convenient what the voice has done for him. It makes tracking his progress much better. It even uses the same measurements the IGA uses: Early, Mid and Late. The IGA also has the PEAK sub rank however this only gets assigned to those who are candidates for advancement to the next stage.

  But how did this advancement happen already?! Russel truly has no idea. He has not had any education yet on how to progress and make himself stronger. For now all he can do is go to General Miyamura and get himself started.

  KNOCK KNOCK

  "Permission to enter" Russel says.

  "Permission granted." Russel hears a strict and respect demanding voice from inside of the office.

  As he enters he sees the General wearing his out of combat IGA uniform. It is different than the one he was wearing during the battle between him and Silvia. It looks a lot more formal and he has several medals on it.

  Russel recognizes these medals as his dad also has a few of them. But General Miyamura has at least 5 times as much!!

  "Take a seat Officer Darrington. I will give you a crash course about how things work around here and send you to your squad." the General says.

  "Okay, thank you for your guidance General" Russel replies with respect and gratefulness.

  "The first 6 months of the IGA academy are theory classes and getting to know your Trigger and its capabilities. After that the one and a half year of practice period starts where you continue learning in squads. The second base of the IGA has around a thousand squads. You will be placed in one of the All Rounder role of squad 955." the General tells Russel in a calm voice.

  If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

  "All Rounder role?" Russel asks in a confused tone.

  "Yes. Each squad consists of 10 Trigger users and one squad leader. The squads are all composed of a combination of different roles and specialties." the General continues.

  "Each squad has the following:

  -2 All Rounders

  -2 Protectors

  -2 CRA's (Close Range Attacker)

  -1 LRA (Long Range Attacker)

  -1 Scout

  -2 Supporters

  and of course a squad leader. The squad leader is always of the next stage. So if the squad consists of Initiates, as it would be in your case. Then the squad leader will be a Fusion Stage. Your squad leader is an Early Fusion Stage."

  Russel nods profusely. He knew a little bit about how squads were formed but not a lot. He knows that his brother Ryan the scout in squad 781.

  "Now that you know what is coming next I will tell you how to train and become stronger." the General says.

  "There are 3 different ways of becoming stronger. They all have their advantages and downsides. You should not focus on just one of them and use all of them at different times depending on what is necessary for your growth." the General pauses and looks at Russel with interest.

  "These methods work for Enhancing Body Triggers like you as well. However you should also develop your own method since we know from the past that all EB's have different ways in which they can also grow."

  "Okay, got it." Russel replies with a hinge of sadness. This makes things a bit harder for him potentially. He has to slightly develop his own training methods and can't just relies on the methods from the IGA which has been honed for 50.000 years.

  The General seems to notice this. "Don't get disheartened Officer. While it is quite the task to do this, we have seen the results from soldiers who have developed their own personalized methods. They are not to be frowned upon."

  Hearing this information Russels eyes widen and his smile magically reappears on his face.

  "Getting that part out of the way, now the three methods:

  -First up is the ACM. It is short for the Arcanite Chamber Method. It's very simple and straightforward. You get isolated in a Chamber where a lot of Arcanite Stones are refining. When Arcanite Stones are refining they release some Arcanite Dust. By sealing the chamber the dust stays there. If you meditate in chamber like that you will make your body stronger and gain a larger pool of energy points.

  -Second method is the DSM. Short for the Danger Sense Method. We have developed various machines which can launch attacks at you. You start out with all your senses available and slowly start taking them away. This is one of the core methods with mandatory training and supervision since this will save your life one day. It will develop an instinct so you will feel what is dangerous and what is not. The Danger Sense is not almighty but it will ensure you will not be caught of guard that easily.

  -The third and last IGA method is fighting Trigors. Yes just straight up fight Trigors. We have captured multiple across various levels and are keeping them contained as dummies. However this is also the most dangerous method. For this to be effective you and only you can initiate this type of training. You can do this with multiple people and it is encouraged to do it.

  However there is a 90% chance you will get injured badly. We can't control the Trigors. They will straight up try to kill you and we can't spare the personal to restrain them. So you are alone with the people you choose in there. You have an emergency button and will be monitored by cameras and there is an Arsenal Stage on standby for the training rooms. But the response time is not fast.

  That is it for the training methods. Any questions?"

  Russel ponders for a moment. "Which method gets me to the Fusion Stage the fastest?".

  The General strokes his goatee and chuckles a bit. "Hahaha, the same question always. You should not focus on the stage advancement. When you are ready we will tell you. Focusing on it too much will hinder your progression.

  Russel stares at him in shock. He did not expect that! It makes sense however.

  The next few hours the General goes more in dept about the things he told Russel. After Russel bombards the General with a lot of questions he sees the General look at the clock and raises his hand.

  "While I appreciate your thoroughness Officer Darrington, our time unfortunately comes to an end. I have other duties that are waiting for me. The General says in a kinder tone. The more questions Russel asked the more the General seemed to soften up and become kinder.

  Russel was pushing his time as well. He had to do it! It is not every day that you get the personal attention of a General from the IGA.

  "Are you ready to meet squad 955?" the General asks him.

  Russel nods. "Sir yes Sir! I was born ready!".
