I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Hye opened the interface window of his staff, and there he found all the saved locations he bookmarked. When he spotted the first choice, he found out that it was greyed out, meaning he couldn't go there if he tried.

"Damn! I was this close to screwing myself…" he heaved a deep sigh of relief, before looking at the long series of numbers next to the first spot saved in that interface.

"So the first choice is for the new base, and the second one is for Earth… Interesting, I almost was about to select the first spot moments ago…"

He thought that the oldest saved spot would come first, but this wasn't the case. When he selected the second spot, a portal opened up and he passed through while feeling a bit worried that he selected wrongly.

"Phew, it's my Earth," Hye arrived back at the same place he once left from. When he appeared, he found tons of armies waiting, training in colossal training camps, "Lily indeed did a great job with everyone else," he muttered while nodding in satisfaction.

[Where are you? Gather up at the same spot I left from] he sent this message over, while waiting for his friends to gather up.

[You came back?]

[At last!]

[I thought you'd take forever!]

He received lots of messages, before waiting for almost an hour before everyone gathered here. He found even the five leaders of the research department here, and that made him smile in contentment.

"At least you saved me the trouble of looking for you," he ended his long talk about his adventure with such a sentence. For hours, he kept speaking non-stop, non-interrupted, while everyone was both amazed and shocked by what he said.

"So… Out there, we need to build spaceships?!!!" Old Gan was the first to speak, expressing his shock and surprise.

"Don't tell me you didn't do this back at the Toranks," Hye rolled his eyes, and yet the look on Old Gan's face never changed.

"I never heard of him building anything like this before," he paused, before adding, "and news about how they got these ships was always kept hidden from people like myself…"

"Don't fret," Hye already expected such an answer, "I already have lots of spaceships on me. I want you to dismantle them, and try to break through the technology of building them. We need to get this, and learn how to build these spaceships ourselves."

"That's… A really hard task to do," Old Gan couldn't even say he got a way to do it. And Hye appreciated how sincere he was about this.

"Take your time," he said, reassuring the old man, "It's not that we don't have enough spaceships to use right now…"

"That… But…" Old Gan couldn't give any promises, and Hye just patted his shoulder.

"Take it easy old man, It's not good for your health, right?"

"Hmph! I'm in my prime, kid!" Old Gan harrumphed, "I'll do it, no matter what it takes, I'll do it!"

"Good," Hye evilly grinned, "and don't forget to analyse the weapons in all of the spaceships, try to break the technology behind them as well…"

"I know, I know you want everything out of these ships to get properly copied… don't worry, I'm sure it'll take a long time to do so, but it's still doable in the end."

"So… When is it our time to join that stage?" Legend rubbed his hands, acting impatient, "I always heard about wars in the universe, but didn't get a chance to experience any."

"Yes, I want to fight in space!" Sara also chimed in, while others looked very eager to go out and try this universe.

"That's why I'm here," he paused, before adding in a serious tone, "The universe isn't just about spaceships. There is still the problem of crystals. I gained tons of crystals from this adventure, but it's not enough. Not to mention we have a ceiling, one that we need to go to the outer battlefield and do something there to break it."

"Let's work with what we have then," Lily said in a decisive tone, "with what you have, how many warriors and people of ours can you support?"

"Well, it's hard to tell…" Hye never calculated what he got. He collected the harvest from the Crystal Heart, planted more trees, and supported them all using his bones, and yet he never counted any, "But I'm going to distribute everything to you evenly. Select the most capable ones, strengthen them, then wait for me to come back and bring you towards the new base of ours."

"Do you need us to build anything there?" Isac said, before adding, "If so, we need tons of workers. You mentioned a huge number of worlds there, right?"

"I didn't count that either," Hye sighed, "but we'll need lots of people to build and make these worlds inhabitable. Ah, I also need capable teams from the research department, to learn how to place the nodes and axis of the grand defensive formation. At the same time, I need them to learn how to build this in the future."

"More impossible work for us…" Old Gan sighed, and Hye totally ignored his remark.

"I'll need the teams of the research department to come with me back to the universe. I'll also need all of your upgraded armies and warriors to follow me with all of you."

"You'll take us right away?!!" Everyone was surprised by this, but Hye slowly shook his head.

"Not everyone, of course. You'll select just the best this time, the ones leading your armies and forces. Then you'll leave with me, leaving a few capable ones to select the bulk of your armies, move later when we establish the base… Also select extras, as we'll gain more crystals from wars out there."

They got his point. He just needed them to select the army-capable officers and team leaders, the ones who were going to lead others in the wars out there. For them to do so, they needed tons of experience first, and Hye intended to take them back to learn such stuff.
