1st of Taurusian, 168th NLC. EPA FOB, 20 miles East of Vitallius City, Vitallion Empire. (07:00 of morning)
As agreed by Empress Venus and the Elf President, the Elven People's Army back on 12th of Geminusian. The Military Modernization will commence after preparing the latters' advisors. Today is the beginning of the training program and is scheduled to 10 years (although EPA Advisors can shorten it if the Vitallionese Troops are fast learners)
EPA Advisor: Alright my dear Vitallionese Comrades. Since we are here to train you in how we Elves conduct warfare we will have few gifts for you. *Switches to Modern Elf dialect* Bring it in.
EPA Soldier (in Modern Elf dialect): Yes Comrade Colonel.
EPA Advisor: Here is the Reactive Shield. An improved version of your already good shields you have. It will protect you from both Magical and Conventional Projectiles.
Minerva: *raises hand* What's Projectiles?
EPA Advisor: Those are Magical Beams and standard Conventional Bullets. I'll show you.
The EPA Advisor shows the demonstration between the current Imperial Shield and the Reactive Shield. Both Magical and Conventional Rounds punched a hole in the Imperial Shield, but not on the Reactive Shield. There was even a brief second of glow after the Magical Beams hit the latter. This puts the Vitallionese in impressively amazement.
EPA Advisor: Here you go. Hope you can still repair on your old ones but.....
Vitallionese Imperial Troops: We'll take those Reactive Shields.
EPA Advisor: Okay.
Minerva: I would like to recommend to keep our old ones for the Praetorian Guards. Just in case of Emergency situations like uh....
EPA Advisor: Riots?
Minerva: Yes. Exactly. Good thing I learned that back in my tour trip.
Vitallionese Imperial Troops: Good suggestion, Lady Legatus.
EPA Advisor: Okay. That's good. Alright shall we begin the basics?
Vitallionese Imperial Troops: Yes Comrade Colonel.
And so the Basics begin. Which is actually the Modern Military Marches. While not entirely different from they used to, the handing of guns, like Rifles were completely knew to the Vitallionese. But were all eager to learn anyway. This session lasts until afternoon.
05:00 of Afternoon.
EPA Advisor: That would be for today. Tomorrow. You girls will continue to practice it for a week. Is that clear?
Vitallionese Imperial Troops: Yes, Comrade Colonel.
EPA Advisor: Good. You can take a bath now, rest a bit and have dinner soon. See you tomorrow because I will inspect your progression. And also fix for possible errors. Dismiss.
Vitallionese Imperial Troops: Copy that, Comrade Colonel. *Salutes*
The Vitallionese Troops head off to the shower rooms to take bath. While the EPA Advisor reported to the Command about the first day go.
Command: Good work, Comrade Colonel. Keep it up.
EPA Advisor: Affirmative.
Command: But don't forget to rest yourself as well. Its tiring to train them you know.
EPA Advisor: Yeah yeah I got it.
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
06:00 of evening. Dining hall.
The Vitallionese Imperial Troops, for the first time, were able to taste the delicacy from their Elf Allies and many were pleased by how delicious the foods where. They were clearly impressed. Although some still prefer their own. The EPA Advisor herself tried the Vitallionese cooked food and were satisfied as well. By the time the dinner was over, the Advisor took the bath, while the Vitallionese lined up for hand sanitation procedures. Then followed that, small fun time together. Minerva herself took a short stroll around the FOB.
08:00 of evening. Barracks.
The Vitallionese changed to their sleeping clothes and went to sleep immediately. Not wanting to be late for tomorrow. The Elves were happy to know how serious their Allies were in the training even before the Modernization become a thing.
8th of Taurusian. 07:00 of morning.
The Advisor congratulates the Vitallionese for completing the week-long marches and, saved for minor things like how to hold Rifles properly, were all successful.
EPA Advisor: Alright. For the next phase. We will teach you how to use our weapons properly. Legatus Minerva Cymbalis.
Minerva: Yes, Comrade Colonel.
EPA Advisor: Are you familiar with this? *Shows R34 Rifle*
Minerva: Yes. It is the weapon used by the EPA Troops.
EPA Advisor: Good. Do you remember how they hold it?
Minerva: Well. I'll try to remember so please correct me if I got this wrong.
The Vitallionese were in a shock to see how their Legatus Minerva hold the old R34 Rifle, albeit slightly in different posture.
EPA Advisor: Ah! Good. That's how you do. Just adjust your posture like this and its perfect.
Minerva: I see. Thank you for the guidance.
EPA Advisor: As you can see here, this is how we hold our weapon and our standing stance.
The Vitallionese were given emptied R34 rifles and also do the proper holding and standing stance.
EPA Advisor: To fire the weapon, just pull the trigger like this.
Minerva did it exactly, but she heard the clicks.
Minerva: Huh?
EPA Advisor: If you hear this click. It means the projectile, or what we called ammo, is empty and needed to be loaded. This part is called Magazine. This is were the ammo is loaded. Now do try.
Minerva and others put the magazine into the rifle. But the Advisor wasn't done yet.
EPA Advisor: Once loaded. Pull the Charging handle like this. *Click clack* And aim it to that target there *points on a training target board*
Vitallionese Imperial Troops: *pulls the charging handle*
EPA Advisor: Then pull the trigger.
The Vitallionese pulled the trigger and were slightly disoriented for a bit due to flashes, recoil and the noise it generated. Minerva on the other hand, fired two more shots as she adjust her aim.
EPA Advisor: Excellent performance, Legatus.
Minerva: Thank you.
EPA Advisor: One more thing. Make sure that the target you'll going to shoot poses threat to you and to any civilian nearby. Don't point it to your own allies and self and when not in use, remove the magazine, pull the charging handle and switch it to safety mode like this. *Click* Any more questions?
Vitallionese Munifex: Uh. If a bullet fells out in that process. Should we put it back to magazine?
EPA Advisor: Yes. That is also important....
The Advisor continue to lecture the Vitallionese Troops, including the trigger discipline, handling when not in combat and most importantly, maintenance.
05:00 of afternoon.
EPA Advisor: That would be all for today. Like earlier, you have one more week to get familiarize with the guns we have. If you would like, you can get additional tutorials from my Comrades in other guns like Machine Guns, Sniper Rifles, Rocket Launchers and more starting tomorrow. For now. Bath, eat and rest. Dismiss.
Vitallionese Imperial Troops: Thank you, Cormade Colonel.
The entire training program lasts for a while until several years later.
