Chapter 852: Chapter 852 Military Academy?

"Sir, we’ve found some gym equipment," one of the STAU members reported through the walkie-talkie. "It looks like there used to be a gym facility nearby. All the equipment had been stored away, but fortunately, everything is still in working condition. Since it’s all commercial-grade, the machines are durable and not easy to break. We should be able to use them without issue, though some of the machines will need electricity to function."

Aston stood on the stage overlooking the Central Square, listening to the report as he observed the new recruits. They were drenched in sweat, struggling to mimic their instructor’s movements. Some were already trembling like newborn calves, unsteady but determined.

"Good. Take all of them," Aston said thoughtfully. "I’ll speak to the City Lord about getting electricity installed in the training facility so we can make full use of the equipment. These new recruits need to start building muscle, too."

As he looked around, Aston spotted his second-in-command approaching. That meant he’d already completed his assigned task. Aston raised an eyebrow. Less than an hour had passed. Quick work.

It meant they had more time to prepare the training facility. Since the building used to be an office, clearing out the clutter and relocating items into storage would be the first step. He didn’t want to discard anything, especially old government files that might still be useful someday. Those needed to be archived properly.

Turning to his second-in-command, Aston gave new instructions. "Hmm... Great job. Now, head back to the building. Take all the documents and unnecessary items, and send the files to the archives. As for the extra office chairs, desks, and supplies, either store them, redistribute them to departments that need them, or keep some in our own warehouse for future use. What matters now is clearing out the building so we can move our warriors in and begin training." free𝑤ebnovel.com

Once Aston gave the command, he contacted another subordinate to coordinate. His second-in-command gave a sharp salute before heading off again, this time with several free STAU members in tow. They would help quickly clear the space, using their storage abilities to speed up the process.

When one of his subordinates approached, Aston gave clear instructions.

"I need you and the others to group the new recruits based on their abilities and capabilities. We’ll form training classes, no more than sixty people per group. That way, we can teach them the same way you’d teach a proper classroom of students. Each class will have structured time in the gym, sparring sessions, and field training. It’ll prevent everyone from crowding the same space and help us manage their learning more effectively."

He paused to ensure the soldier was following, then continued, "This setup will help them grasp key principles, especially what we’ve learned about the zombies and the outside world. We’ll also be able to spot who’s excelling and group high performers together to foster friendly competition for resources. Meanwhile, we can identify and support those who are struggling, tailoring their training to help them improve, and encouraging teamwork along the way."

With this system in place, Aston laid the groundwork for something far greater than he’d originally intended. Without Kisha even realizing it yet, the foundation for a fully functional Military Academy had quietly been established within the base.

All Kisha originally wanted was to give the recruits more time to train and provide them with a proper training facility. But Aston was still a soldier, one who had weathered countless trials and hardships. Over time, he had matured and learned to see the bigger picture, no longer blindly following orders just because he was conditioned to do so.
