Chapter 02 - Training Hall

  His time in the tutorial was harder longer than average, as he keep asking non related questions to the goddess about the city of Owal. With the expectation of making a big entrance. It seems that was all for nothing, after his megalomaniacal laugh.

  “Title? Hum… How does I check that?”

  “Eh... Title description!”

  “LOL, no even one step and I am already doom. Just awesome!”

  No having permission to leave the city for 30 in-game days or 1 week on real life, Solrac rushed to Basic Training Hall. Following his friend single advice: “Don’t be caitiff, and do the blood training until the end!”.

  After pestering the goddess with only her knows how many questions, finding the Training Hall was piece of cake. There he found a giant barbarian, brown skinned and 220 cm tall. He was sculpting a log about his own size, with a darkish 55 cm long sword, his piece must portray some savage creature. Slowing his pace and cauting his breath, asked to the man:

  “Good evening brave sculptor.”

  “I ain’t no sculptor, but a warrior. But still brave.”

  “Sorry, to miss address you.”

  “What does you seek?”

  “I want to train in the Training Hall. Where can I found my future master?”

  “Master?”

  “Yeah, the instructor of this hall in front of us.”

  “If is the instructor of this training hall you are after, I am this person.”

  “Great. How should I start?”

  “Kid, look at my training hall, do you see anyone inside?”

  “No, there is not a single soul.”

  “Yes, there is not.”

  “Are you not taking disciples?”

  “I am, but since I took charge of the hole of instructor very few took me as their instructor.”

  “Really, for what reason?”

  “I am guessing that it may be related to new training method that I recently developed. Or thatI just had bad luck with my old disciples, they all were outsiders like yourself.”

  “New method… How it differ from the conventional?”

  “Well, the old one forced the students to spend a huge amount of time inside the training hall, so at the end of the course they had not explored the beautiful sights of the great city of Owall from the mighty Haven Kingdom. My method tries to conciliate both hard training and cultural interaction in a more proactive way.”

  “You seems to be an enthusiastic person, who shows such devotion for your city and kingdom.”

  “It’s everyone duty to protect and treasure their homeland from all kind of harm.”

  ~ More or less.

  “Sure.”

  “Then will you become my new disciple? But beforehand I should warn you that up until now no one had meet its end.”

  “I accept your tutelage.”

  “Yes.”

  “What should I do now?”

  “First I need to know that kind of warrior do you want to become?”

  “A fearsome dual wielder warrior.”

  “Dual wielder?”

  “Yes.”

  “But can you tell me what can be done with two smaller blades that a greatsword can not?”

  “I have no idea, just like the concept.”

  “You are a lost case. For a starter my training will not be easy, and you still wants to do it dual wielding?”

  “Yes.”

  “As you wish. I will make you a dual wielder, but the time limit remains the same.”

  “Fine by me.”

  “A dual wielding style combat, requires that its users use one weapon offensively and the other defensively, but for now you will train both arm in the same way, until you can tell them apart from their function.”

  “As you command master.”

  “Turn around, do you those small logs at the back of the hall?”

  “Yes.”

  “Go take a look of them.”

  After a quick run, Solrac reach the pile of logs. The logs length were all the same, and also its weight, respectively 80 cm and 50 kg. After a quick inspection a message pop up.

  “Sculpt out of them your training sword by yourself, in your case make two of them!”

  “But master, I not a sculptor.”

  “That will not be a problem! Take this map and this sword template. Then follow the marked path in the map and go to the Sculptor's Guild, it is located at the other side of the city. Arriving there, look for a man called Burroughs and introduce yourself as one of my disciples. He owns me a lot, surely he will teach you some basic sculptor skills and give you some tools. And do not forget to carry those two log with you, its also part of the training.”

  “Ok.”

  “Almost forgot, each log can only be used to make one sword, too bad you. Starting to learn soon that been a dual wielder will only cause burden to its practitioner.”

  “Unknown?! My first quest barely have a description, now my second have some incomplete informations.”
