Standard Union Artillery Officer Course

*[Unlock logistics, artillery, engineering expertise]

*["Ah, artillery": Infantry and cavalry officers' favorability -1; Street smarts -1]

(Note: Compared with infantry and cavalry officers who generally come from military families, most artillery officers do not have a military background. In addition, artillery officers have heavy coursework and many courses are conducted separately. As a result, artillery officers are generally regarded as Nerds and aliens. Even when fighting in groups based on their regional origins, the infantry and cavalry cadets never take them with them.]

—————————————————————————

General subjects: rhetoric, history, mathematics, geometry, law, international law, ancient languages, and ancient languages;

—————————————————————————

Active ability:

Long sword [D bad]

*[Swordsmanship classes in the artillery department are held once every two weeks, and swordsmanship classes in other disciplines are held once a week. Heavy schoolwork leaves artillery officers with no time to practice on their own, so artillery officers' swordsmanship is generally poor. ]

—————

Matchlock [A is good at]

*[God created humans, and guns made humans equal]

—————

Equestrian [B Mastery]

*[Equestrian is a course that all students must take, but if conditions permit, Mason prefers to ride in a baggage car]

—————

General Weapons [E is all about instinct]

*[Artillery officers do not take weapons classes, so when Mason uses most weapons other than swords, he mainly relies on instinct (meaning flailing like a gorilla)]

—————

Instruments [A Master]

*[At this stage, the main problem of belt suspension and chain suspension is that their reliability is too poor. Once damaged, it is difficult to repair and replace them in a short time. If the reliability problem cannot be solved, it is better to use a rigid frame directly, at least it is strong enough]

—————

Explosion [A+ Mastery]

*[The key is not how much gunpowder to use, but where to place the explosive points. If the location is well chosen, a tall tower can be destroyed with very little gunpowder. How about it? Architecture, it’s amazing, isn’t it? ]

—————

Artillery[A+Excellent]

*[The power of a round of close-range shotgun shells is equivalent to that of a large group of volleys. Even if the cannon that fires is captured immediately after, the devastating blow it inflicts on the enemy is enough to offset the loss of the artillery]

—————

Advanced Mathematics [A+ Distinction]

*[Arithmetic and mathematics are completely different concepts, and higher mathematics is a subject that if you can’t learn it, then you can’t learn it]

—————

Alchemy [E disapproving]

*[As far as I know, gunpowder is a product of the so-called alchemy]

Character traits:

A Grand Unionist who became a Grand Unionist after reflection

————————

accept fate

*[Instead of holding his fate by the throat, Mason silently accepts his fate most of the time. Even if he is assigned a responsibility that he does not want to bear, he will do everything to perfection without reservation.

————————

Contentment and lasting happiness

*[As the youngest son of an ordinary businessman, Mason did not have too many extravagant aspirations. For him, becoming a Union officer had changed his destiny. "Work, save money, retire, run a small ranch, and live a life without competing with the world" is his most ideal destination]

————————

approachable

*[Compared to traditional officers who value rank, Mason has a more easy-going attitude towards ordinary soldiers. He has no airs and no rules. Although he had become a member of the officer class, Mason did not consider himself superior to others. However, because of this, some soldiers believed that he lacked "the style of an officer."

————————

nerd in boy gang

*[No bullying within the Army Academy? [angry expletive]! I [incoherent expletive]! ]

————————

lawful good

*[Mason respects order and always makes good choices. He knew exactly what it meant to start a rebellion, and he knew how difficult it was to make the necessary decisions. So he "escaped", handed over the decision-making power to Winters, and silently acted as an executor.

Mason has always felt guilty about not shouldering the "blood debt of reform" with Winters. This feeling of guilt urged him to work tirelessly and hard without complaint. ]
