Cye and Silver Bde looked skeptically at Bleary Mirage.
“What? Don’t trust me?”
“You’re the expert.”
Liam nodded with a smile as he led the two women in. He was surprised to see a few pyers already stig around. Obviously, these hardcamers had good game sense.
Walking past the training soldiers, most of them nephilim, Liam reached a wall oher side.
Three nephilim could be found here, a man and two women. They directed the trainees in the arena with stern faces.
Liam came to a stop as he addressed his panions:
“If you talk to these three, you choose a css. Do you have any preferences?”
Cye stared at Liam with bright eyes.
“We choose a css here? How did you figure this out?! Wow, you must have a lot of insider information. Not even my family khis!”
Liam kept a polite smile, her admitting nor deing. But inwardly he was surprised by the information Cye had just revealed.
The young woman didn’t harp oter though.
“I want to bee a mighty lightning mage! The storms at my bad call! Everyone will tremble before me!”
Liam and Silver Bde both chuckled. The man turned his eyes towards the bck-haired woman.
“I’d prefer to defend.”
“Defend?”
Liam was taken aback. People who liked to take a tank css usually choose a dwarf or orc as their race.
But a nephilim tank?
However, it could prove quite useful iain circumstances. Nephilim had bonuses on their holy and dark defehus, they could shine brightly especially in many mais.
Silver Bde felt uain as Liam stayed silent.
“Do you think it’s a bad choice?”
Liam noticed the young woman’s uainty.
“No, no. Not at all. But the difficulty might not be low.”
“Ok. I still want to try.”
“Sure.”
Subsequently Liam directed Cye to one of the female trainers while he and Silver Bde approached the male one.
“At this point we don’t have many choices yet, only warrior, mage, and thief. But ecialize further at level 10.”
“Ok. By the way, what are you pying?”
“I’m going for the most challenging css! Warrior!”
Silver Bde and Cye both looked at Bleary Mirage skeptically. Eventually he couldn’t help but let out a chuckle uheir stares.
Liam naturally had a path in mind, but it would only e to py during future specializations. Expining himself now might be too abnormal.
At this moment the trio approached the trainers. The man shouting at his trainees immediately stopped and turowards Silver Bde.
Liam’s eye twitched.
Look at yly smile!
“Adventurer! I’m Querin, the warrior instructor here! I already see that you are cut out to bee a powerful warrior! Are you willing to learn from me?”
[Do you wish to start the warrior training?]
Silver Bde was embarrassed by the trainer’s enthusiasm, hastily accepting.
“Great! Your future will be limitless! In fact, I already know that I put my trust in you. Are you willing to help me with something else?”
[Do you wish to accept the quest ‘Show-off’?]
Liam stared from the side, the warrior traiill not showing him any attention. Meanwhile Silver Bde already received her sed quest.
“Really, parison makes depressed…”
Silver Bde smiled apologetically at Liam as she followed the trainer’s instrus. She grabbed a wooden sword from the side and began training.
Only at this point did Querin finally turn to Liam.
“Adventurer! Are you here to bee a warrior?”
F*ck. Where is your enthusiasm now?!
Liam cursed inwardly, hastily accepting the quest aing away from the trainer.
He already knew what to do, grabbing a wooden sword and approag one of the trainees on the field.
A tall nephilim him.
“You want to bee a warrior? Show me what you got!”
Suddenly two notifications lit up. Liam only g them.
[Received skill ‘Double Ssh’]
[Received skill ‘Sidestep’]
[Double Ssh (rank 1)Cost: 5 Fury
Effect: Ssh out two times in quick succession, dealing 80% (PDMG) and 130% (PDMG) physical damage.
Cooldown: 6 seds]
[Sidestep (rank 1)Cost: 3 Fury
Effect: Do a quick sidestep.
Cooldown: 8 seds]
Liam already knew pretty much everything there was to know about skills, especially these basies.
He uood that the damage of the Double Ssh skill was calcuted based on his attack power, which was depe on his on power, strength, aerity.
Even his mana ged to fury at this moment. It was the resource most close-bat csses o cast their skills.
Fury was gathered by attag or being attacked.
For Liam, who usually preferred a fighting style reliant on dodging, it was somewhat terintuitive. But he had to make do with it for now.
The sparring partook on a defensive fighting stance, giving the pyer enough time to get familiar with their spells.
But Liam didn’t as he immediately started with a normal attack.
The experienced pyer swung his sword at a tricky angle, increasing the ce for a critical attack.
The trainee was naturally n oppo. He didn’t mao block.
[-5!]
Liam looked at the number plopping up, frowning faintly. The damage was less thahought.
As someone hailed as being all-knowing about the game, doubts came to his mind. But after all this was just the most basic training oppo. Even Liam could recall their stats wrong.
Still, he quickly used a skill everyone possessed: [I].
[Warrior Traineeon enemy
LVL: 2
HP: 77/82 Fury: 4/100
Main Attributes:
?????]
Liam couldn’t help but whisper:
“I could’ve sworn you’re level 1.”
The NP the game were incredibly lifelike. With a low excmatiorainee swung his sword:
“Don’t get distracted!”
But Liam could win this fight with closed eyes. He skillfully raised his sword, blog the enemy attack.
[Stance -6]
Stance ecial attribute in the game which allowed oo e enemy attacks.
A pyer had three different options to do so, namely defending, dodging, and fsh step. Naturally there were skills with the same effect but those required fury/mana instead of stance.
Of course, stance wasn’t unlimited. Right now, Liam had only 30 points, allowing him to defend 5 times, most likely up to 7 sidering the passive regeion.
But this way of fighting was something most pyers hadn’t discovered yet. A few of the present hardcamers looked over at Liam, enticed by his as.
The tter didn’t care for the attention. Still in doubt about the enemy’s prowess he tihe fight.
Normal attacks had a certain attack speed, which could also be uood as a kind of cooldown. It mainly depended on the on used.
With the wooden sword Liam used he had to wait an agonizing 1,4 seds until he could attack again.
The same was true for the oppo, f them to awkwardly stare at each other.
Suddenly Liam moved again. His sword came in a graceful arc.
[-5!]
The traialiated instantly, but Liam expected it, blog again.
[Stance -6]
This time Liam didn’t have to wait as he had enough Fury for his skill.
[Double Ssh]
Left, right! Liam performed two quick sshes.
[-4! -6,5!]
Blood spshed as the trainee lost a huge k of HP. Some faied pyers in the viity looked away with disgusted expressions.
Liam khat people would figure out some basics about the game soon, for example how to turn on some family friendly options.
The warrior trainee didhe fight yet, copying Liam’s as.
But at the slightest hint of moving in for a double ssh, the trainee already saw his oppo evading with a [Sidestep].
Liam appeared o his oppo. The same rotation began anew.
Soorainee had less than half of his HP remaining. Jumping back, he shouted loudly:
“Stop, stop! I admit defeat!”
Liam nodded without ent, putting the wooden sword away.
In his mind nothing of importance happened but a few of the surrounding pyers already took note of him, discussing in hushed whispers:
“Wow, have you seen this fight? Didn’t lose a single HP!”
“Impressive. Do you think he is some kind of martial master in real life?”
“Might be! His movements were so smooth, now wasting a siep!”
“The poor trainee didn’t stand a ce!”
“I have decided! I’m going to bee a warrior!”
Liam didn’t know that his as would lead to a handful of skilled warriors emerging from this novice vilge. He was already talking with the instructor.
“Adventurer! Impressive! You are a famous warrior in the making!
Say, are you ied in helpih something?”
[Do you wish to accept the quest ‘Show-off’?]
Liam cursed inwardly. Silver Bde received the quest without even initiating a talk. But he had to perform a fwless fight for the instructor to take note of him.
“Of course, instructor.”
Liam accepted anyways. Although this quest wasn’t important to him, he wouldn’t get punished even if he left it to rot in his journal.
