"To create warriors who would eradicate every last one of them,"
Isabella's words were blunt, truly blunt. She didn't mince her words nor did she try to hide anything. She simply told each one of the students their purpose.
It took a huge amount of resources that most people in the human domain couldn't even begin to fathom to manage the academy.
Why were they going through all of this without collecting a dime from each of the students? That was because they planned on having each of them pay back by joining the war.
It was a cruel thing. Forcing young children into fighting and killing, but it was necessary for the survival of the whole planet.
They must constantly produce strong warriors who could fight and hold their own in battle.
'It's better they all learn what they're here for, especially him,' Isabella peeked at Atticus's form on the side once again, studying his expression.
And upon seeing the cold neutral eyes that were locked onto the image of the Zorvan displayed on the screen, Isabella couldn't help but internally shake her head.
'Of course, what was I even expecting? He's not normal,'
One of the major reasons Isabella decided to reveal this information in her first class was because of Atticus.
Atticus was strong. He was a talent they have never witnessed before in the history of the human domain.
Isabella had no doubts that he would be the one to lead the human race in the future. After his mind numbing display of strength, Isabella made sure to find out everything she could about his personality.
She has lost count of the number of humans who used their powers for evil.
If someone like Atticus, who was a once in a lifetime genius, becomes like that, the consequences would be devastating.
But she was pleased, very pleased with what she found out. He was very nice and took care of his other family youths.
Even the other youths who were in his division were treated well.
'He cares about his family a lot,'
It wasn't hard to come to this conclusion. Upon reaching it, Isabella was glad; it meant that he at least had a conscience.
The Ravenstein family was an important part of the human domain, which meant that when he eventually reaches that apex, he won't abandon the human domain.
Seeing the serious looks on each of the students' faces, Isabella nodded.
"I'm glad to see you all understand the severity of our situation. Now, let's get to business."
Isabella walked back to the obsidian table and tapped on the surface again, the image of the Zorvan changing instantly to an emblem.
'The emblem of the alliance,' Atticus immediately identified. He had encountered the emblem several times before, particularly in books and within many significant structures.
The emblem represented the Human Alliance, the Paragon Council.
Against a sleek black background, a robust humanoid figure stood prominently, symbolizing strength, unity, and the collective essence of the alliance.
The silhouette exuded a sense of determination, embodying the ideals and resilience of the Paragon Council.
The rest of the youths also recognized the Emblem; there was no one in the human domain who didn't.
"As you're all probably aware, this is the emblem of the Human Alliance. The alliance comprises all the paragons of humanity and commands the military force within the human domain," Isabella explained.
"This same military is where each one of you is mandated to serve after your tenure in the academy concludes. There are no exceptions."
Observing that each of the students was attentive, she continued,
"Now, this brings me back to the purpose of this class. This is the LDSP-001, the Leadership and Strategic Planning. It was established with the primary goal of teaching you all how to become effective leaders.
"Throughout the duration of this course, you will be instructed in war strategies, how to engage in large scale battles, how to command and lead a substantial number of subordinates, how to anticipate enemy movements, and, most importantly, how to survive," Isabella explained.
"Now let's jump right in to it," Isabella tapped on the surface of the table once again, the display of the screen changing.
Atticus focused on every word coming out of her mouth.
Because he had come from a tier one family, he knew about the war with the Zorvans. But apart from the history, Atticus hadn't been able to learn any specifics about the war.
This was the first time he was even seeing the alien race they were facing. And this was the same for the rest of the students. And truly, they looked really formidable.
And what added to this conclusion was, the alien displayed had been completely naked, and yet Atticus could feel the intense power it held even though they were looking at it through a screen.
Atticus couldn't fathom the extent of their strength if they were to equip themselves with their advanced technology.
After the speech, Isabella moved straight towards the course they would be learning for the year.
She only explained the general overview and sent each of them their course outlines so they would know what to expect during the duration of the course.
And after about two hours, "That would be all for today," Isabella ended the class early.
"I will expect you all in class early tomorrow," Isabella declared.
And without waiting for a response, she picked up her smoothie from the table and started walking out of the room, the door sliding open as she walked out.
As soon as Isabella left, the heavy pressure that had enveloped each and every one of the students was suddenly lifted as many of them released a large exhale in response to the pressure.
Throughout the whole lecture, the class had been completely silent, with none of the youth daring to make a sound.
Because of their backgrounds, each of the students currently present were well aware of the ongoing war.
They all knew the war was a bad thing, but none of them could have ever imagined it to be this bad.
