My Space-Time System

So far, only members of the ash corps as well as volunteers and adventurers had been deployed to different parts of the wall. That was why in the southern wall major Reeves was the only notable person the students had seen so far.

This was because the city wanted to carry out a tactical distribution of Calton city's powerhouses to places they were needed the most.

To be considered a powerhouse one wasn't only meant to be strong, but they also had to be exceptional in certain fields. That was why some demigods weren't even considered powerhouses or that important.

"Let's move over to the western gate. We already have Lovren and Zirrack, alongside the professors of the magic school. So that is more than enough." Ashley couldn't help but nod in agreement.

For one to become a professor in the magic school, not only were they meant to be demigods, but they had to be outstanding in a particular field of magic.

So although the number of ash corps that had been distributed to the western wall was the lowest compared to other walls, they were nowhere under-armed for the upcoming battle.

"Randomly distribute the demigods to the other 3 gates while prioritizing the southern and eastern gates. I also want you to put these 2 at the southern gate." Colonel Darius said, causing Ashley to ask if he was sure about his decision.

"Of course I am sure. The southern gate requires as many talents as possible." Darius said with a smile that made Ashley wonder if he just wanted a fight to start at the southern wall by putting Oliver Nystrom and Xavier Karius in the same place. That was when she remembered who was at the wall, one and only, major Reeves.

Oliver and Xavier weren't treated like other demigods. Oliver was the best beast tamer in Calton city, so he was going to be the most helpful in periods like this. As for Xavier, he was the city's protégé and was also the first son of one of the top 3 families in the city. So a lot was expected from him.

"For now, send Reeves and Typhoon's party over to the eastern wall, but depending on the turn of events we might also send guild master Walden." Colonel Darius pushed the images of the angel and A-rank adventurer party to the eastern wall.

(AN: The Reeves here was the demigod from the royal family that was on their side, during their first escort commission. The other Reeves is a major in the ash corps.)

"Zola's lightning penetrative ability will be needed against armored beasts in the mountain." Darius moved the Karius family leader's image to the northern gate. "Also, we will be sending Richard and his brother Hagan."

(AN: For those that have forgotten. Hagan is Vlad's uncle, the brother to the leader of the Nystrom family in Calton city, Richard Nystrom.)

'I just don't feel right about the northern gate, but we can only watch and react.' Darius felt that the 2 peak demigods from the Nystrom and Karius family weren't enough, but it wasn't wise to deploy more powerhouses to the north based on a hunch.

Compared to the other gates, the northern gate posed the least threat to the city, followed by the west. This wasn't because they lacked numbers, but because they had fewer emperor beasts.

During the beast tides, the southern gate was always attacked by the highest number of emperor beasts. Even during the easiest beast tides, the southern gate had always been attacked by nothing less than 2 emperor beasts.

"As for the southern wall, we already have Major Reeves, A-rank Sunshield adventurer party, Brock Ulrik (Leader of Calton city's branch of the Ulrik family), and finally me." Darius said as he pushed his image to the southern wall.

"What of him sir?" Ashley pointed at professor Hoffenheim's image that was still in the academy unlike those of other professors.

"We could say, he is one of the many surprises we have for the beasts." Darius said with his signature smile as he thought of Hoffenheim.

…

At the western wall.

Principal Lovren and the kingslayer Zirrack stood at the center of the wall staring into the forests filled with beasts, while professor Gibson and major Briggs who was the same rank as major Reeves stood slightly behind them.

Major Briggs was 5'7 inches (1.7 meters) tall. Even though he was covered by the black and ash half cloak, his bulky build could still be noticed. On his head was literally no hair, making every student deployed to the western wall wonder if he was related to instructor Zirrack even though he had a lighter skin tone and was always in a friendly mood.

This wasn't only because of the huge gap in power between both groups, but because of their achievements.

Even though Zirrack had always been a solo adventurer that had never wanted to be held down by the rules of groups, he had helped the city on countless occasions.

With his numerous achievements, he would have been Darius' second in command if he was part of the ash corps. Now that alone was just his contribution to the ash corps, let alone his achievements with the adventurer association.

As for principal Lovren, all that was needed to say was that he was the previous colonel of Calton city.

"What is the situation of the students?" Principal Lovren gestured for professor Gibson to give his report.

"So far the southern wall had been the only ones to have eliminated some teams. It turns out that major Reeves had increased the passing mark or rather changed the requirements for the students at the southern wall." Professor Gibson reported.

The students were only meant to pass 3 exercises which were: how to defend themselves on the wall, how and when to use the most efficient attacks, and how to operate the magical war weapons.
