Soon the ground started to quake as a giant lizard with two sets of little dewclaws waddled into the jungle. Ze Shou panicked and stood up from his seat at the sight of the monster his body started to shake as he prepared to run. seeing this, ADA quickly explained, " don't worry, they can't see us or touch us as we exist outside their timeline, so sit and watch." Ze Shou sat back down but eyed the giant carefully. ADA then continued, "The Nanotyrannosaurus Lancensis or the Dwarf Tyrant a juvenile form the Tyrannosaurus Rex. From a date of a type zero civilization dated in the year 2018, this creature is approximated to be at least 2.4 million years old, the current land apex predator of the Mesozoic era. Though big in size, the only advantage it has its weight, its tail, and its mouth watch as its ambushed."
Just then, a smaller version of the dinosaur the size of a horse covered in feathers appeared in front of the giant squawking angrily at it while stomping its foot to the ground repeatably. "The Velociraptor one of the smartest group hunting predators of this time approximated at seventy-five million years old," ADA said as she moved the side. The Dwarf Tyrant taking the little dinosaur as prey stomped the ground making the earth vibrate before letting out a hysterical roar shaking the trees and causing birds to flock away.
The Velociraptor ran towards the Dwarf Tyrant, avoiding the bite before swiping at its leg, leaving a deep gash on the giant. The Velociraptor ran away before squawking at the Tyrant before leading it to a clearing with high grass. The furious Tyrant followed, letting out threatening roars. Once in the clearing, the Tyrant lost visibility of the Raptor before feeling claws dig into its back. The Tyrant roared and swayed, turning its head chomping at the sudden group of velociraptors that were clinging on to it, digging their claws in a while taking bits of flesh out with their tilted teeth.
While the Tyrant was distracted, a new group of Raptors charged at both legs doing hit in run tactics at the tendons of the feet after ten minutes of the struggle the Tyrant collapsed before the whole pack due to blood loss and excess use of strength. The bloody Tyrant could only huff helplessly as the pack tore into its flesh and slowly closed Its eyes no longer breathing. After the gruesome scene, the scenery changed back to the classroom with highlighted pictures with an overview of the area on the board behind ADA. "now well go over why that hunt was successful and how it can be applied to warfare strategy." ADA said as she tapped on the podium
After that, the first picture came up, and it showed the first Velcoraptor with its jaw wide open ADA pointed to this "the purpose of this one was to act as bait a challenge in the form of territory, and the first attack drew the alertness away from Dwarf Tyrant if it listened to its instinct it would only challenge the trespassing predator in the territory its familiar with. Unfortunately, they are only animals." ADA selected the next picture, an overview of the first confrontation between the bait Raptor and the Dwarf Tyrant. the scenery changed with the two figures roaring at each other. "Now, look around what do you see?" ADA said while leaning slightly forward of the podium.
Ze Shou scanned the area and couldn't find anything besides the two apex predators. " ill move time by half a second then." ADA tapped the podium, and the world shook very fast and stood still for three seconds before shaking again this cycle repeated. Ze Shou slowly Scanned the area, locking his gaze in five different places but had doubt written on his face. "Now, what did you see? point to it." ADA said while she watched Ze Shou point to the five places. "I saw different shades of color mixed in the scenery with slight movements, what were those?" Ze Shou said after pointing to the spots, he noticed a difference.

"Good job," ADA said while tapping the podium again, the two apex predators turned this almost invisible while the trees surrounding disappeared. At the five spots, Ze Shou pointed at where five Velociraptors watching the confrontation in waiting. "what these five groups are doing is evaluating the predator while slowly entrapping it. While the bait is expandable, the whole group moves as a collective if the bait is successful. The group would move around the target waiting to strike amid confusion, therefore, taking down the predator with numbers rather than size." ADA finished then played the whole scenario without the scenery.
The bait lured the Tyrant, and the group followed slowly encircling the unsuspecting Tyrant while the bait disappeared the rear group took the opportunity to climb on the tail of the Tyrant enraging it while distracted by the group on the back the side groups moved in and went for the legs disabling the movement. Followed by the front group with the bait that went in and attacked the vital areas and securing the kill. One swift strategy and a feast for the hunting party, "Do you understand why it worked and how they did it?" ADA asked "en" Ze Shou nodded in affirmation as everything that happened replayed in his mind a hundred times over. Word for word, movement by movement, Ze Shou felt that his learning ability was god-like as if he was there at every angle.
"Good! Now do it; you'll be the Alpha of that pack, find a target, and take it down good luck!" ADA said and waved as Ze Shou turned pail and reached out while leaving a half-finished sentence before disappearing "ADA YOU BI-." ADA couldn't help but chuckle " he still has the gall to curse me, ok ill remember that, haha." a twisted smile formed on her face as she threw out the monitoring screens of Ze Shou confronting the pack.
Ze Shou's arm still reached out appeared in front of a pack of Velociraptors as they eyed each other before the pack swarmed Ze Shou tearing him apart in less than half a minute. Time flowed backward and then resumed with Ze Shou appearing with his hands out. Instantly Ze Shou turned to run, but before he could leave the cave where the pack was staying, he was torn to shreds again by the swarm outside the cave. All you could hear was cawing, followed by a bloody scream, then silence.
On the hundredth time-reversal, Ze Shou eyes were bloodshot as he stared deathly at the pack of Raptors. The nearest one charged only for Ze Shou to give a roundhouse kick to the head flinging the horse-sized bird creature to the wall Ze Shou then faced the rest of the pack and screamed with all his might before charging at the pack attacking each one using every part of his body. On the two hundredth time-reversal, he roared at the pack, his insanity like aura spread out, causing the birds to sink back and squawk weakly, lowering their heads as a sign of submissiveness to the new Alpha.
Ze Shou hummed in satisfaction before issuing a command "follow!" He Ran out of the cave while the Velociraptors fanned out behind him. Ze Scanned the forest looking for a target to hunt with his pack before coming close to a thirty-meter tall dinosaur that was eating leaves as he stopped and crouched down the Raptors did the same circling behind him. As Ze Shou was formulating a strategy, the biggest Raptor honked and ran at Ze Shou; the rest of the pack turned and ran at Ze Shou.
Time reversed and was back in the cave, thoroughly pissed. An insanity like aura spread out. In an instant covering the area around and inside the cave making the raptors instantly go into submission, he walked up to biggest Raptor, grabbed a boulder and smashed it into the bird's head, and continued to smash it until the head was separated from the feathered body. Covered in blood, Ze Shou gave the command to follow. The Raptors now loss the former leader of the pack could only show submission and follow the new Alpha.
