Chapter 6: Weapon
" Now, as this is your first day, we won't do any classes for today.
All of you will be sent to the training grounds and practice whatever arts you master.
We, teachers, would asses your strength and weaknesses for one week and give out advice for your growth."
Olivia said, in a melodious and bewitching tone.
Honestly, it makes me - who was a virgin in my previous life - start to have dreams about her.
But it was only for a short moment. I know how cruel she can be with her enemies.
So I suppressed my thoughts and followed her towards the training room.
...
" Woah..."
I couldn't help but be amused seeing the training room.
Seeing this training room reminds me that currently, I'm in the most prestigious academy of the human domain!
Just the sheer size of the training room let my jaws touch the ground.
Although I knew that the training room would be like this as I read its description in the novel, reading and seeing are completely different things!
This training room size seems to be the combination of 4 Football fields.
In simple words - Massive.
It was also divided into many areas.
For example, there was a room with many dummies.
You can improve your combat experience there as those dummies were made up of the latest technologies.
In simple words, it will feel like you are fighting a veteran with many years of experience.
Honestly, this project cost the academy billions of money!
But seeing the benefits it brought to the students, I say it's worth it.
Then there was a laser room. Inhere you can practice your control and agility, by trying to avoid lasers that came from different angles and speeds.
Then there was the gravity room. Where you can train your bodies more effectively than training with weights.
Then there were targets for target practice, which gives you an accurate understanding of where your powers sat.
And these were all just the tip of the iceberg. There were also adaptability rooms, secluded rooms, Etc.
Honestly, for me, this was the best environment I can train with.
And I knew, that most of my time in the academy would be spent here.
But that also made my blood boil and my heart grows in excitement.
Just thinking of the power I wield after 3 years in the academy made me cheer up more.
Come on, I am a man. And which man wouldn't dream of becoming the strongest at least once in their life? I'm no different.
Even as an extra, I want to be the strongest. And thinking about the power of the demon king, My heart became firmer for power.
...
" Alright, everyone here is the area where weapons of all kinds are stored.
Choose any weapon that you had trained with.
After that ill take you to the section where basic techniques are held."
Bringing me out of my thoughts was Olivia's bewitching voice.
Seeing the innumerable numbers of different types of weapons of all eras my eyes lit up.
Although I have two powerful katanas with me, I can't use them everywhere, can I?
Just seeing the beauty of those two weapons, would make anyone want to snatch them away from me.
And I know that endless trouble waits for me after that.
But if the situations truly call for it I wouldn't hesitate to use it.
But seeing the quality of weapons here, the time when I had to use my weapons is still a little far.
...
Azul, James, Layla, Freya and Mary didn't bother to take any weapons.
Come on with their status why would they bother taking any weapon?
And I may have forgotten to mention this but Mary Hansley was the daughter of the greatest businessman and merchant in the human domain, Hans Hansley!
Although their battle prowess was slightly less than the Royal and dukes, their monetary power was second to none.
They were also the ones who invested the most in this academy.
So there was no doubt in saying that the person with the most money present here would be Mary Hansley!
Honestly, even my family background does not lose to hers, but it's a little more complicated.
But that's for next time.
...
Currently, except those 4, everyone else selected their weapons.
Even I went to the katana section and chose a katana with a long blade with an overall length of 142cm.
Olivia seeing me take a katana had a strange expression in her eyes.
It's to be expected actually.
Before coming to the academy I used a longsword. And suddenly using a Katana out of the blue would surprise anyone.
Although both Katana and longsword are both swords, the way of using them is completely different.
And I feel that learning Katana's precise cutting techniques is more difficult than learning longswords power-based attacks.
And I also stood up a little now.
Why do you ask?
Because I was the only one who took a Katana in my class.
Due to how much power the longswords have, most of the students who use swords selected the longswords.
And many think that Katana is only useful for fancy moves.
So they didn't bother to learn a Katana. To tell the truth, during the long annals of time, everyone forgot how powerful a Katana could be.
But If I had to, for me Katana was the best weapon for control and power and agility, the fields I want to excel at.
And wouldn't I look cool using a Katana with Fire and Ice?
So without hesitation, my main weapon is a Katana.
...
The 4 geniuses who stood at the side also looked at my side.
" Interesting..."
Azul muttered looking at Kai taking a katana.
"What's interesting?"
Mary who was at the side asked looking at him. Being the young generation of important families, they were all familiar with each other from when they were kids.
So they were all comfortable talking to each other.
" I mean that classmate who chose a Katana."
Azul replied.
"Heh. Do you think that's interesting? If you ask me, I would say that he was a fool who only looks at how fancy a sword is. He doesn't know the reality about power."
James who was at the side harrumphed. He was a Longsword user and disdained seeing someone using a Katana.
" We wouldn't know unless we see how he uses it right?"
Azul said with a straight face. Then ignoring James, Azul looked towards Layla and asked,
"What do you think?"
Layla looking towards Kai for a few moments replied in a cold tone.
" Maybe."
She only said one word, but that was enough to shut up James.
Although she was ranked 3 in terms of power, both Azul and James knew to not underestimate her.
After all, they may be defeated if they were careless in fighting against her.
Freya who listened to others with an amused expression looked towards Kai.
Then she looked at Olivia frowning.
Being not able to keep her curiosity in check, she asked Olivia. After all, it's not every day you see her with that expression.
" What happened sister, why are you looking at him like that?"
Olivia who heard Freya quickly recovered her expression, But still replied in an amused tone, "It's nothing serious. It's just that, the boy who just selected a Katana, used to use a Longsword before attending the academy."
Although Olivia said it in a not-so-serious tone everyone could hear a tinge of surprise from it.
But not only Olivia even the other 4 were surprised a little.
But it was only for a short moment before James started laughing, " Haha, see what I told you? He is just a fool who doesn't know what is power."
Azul did not retort to James this time.
Choosing another weapon after joining the academy is like abandoning all the hard work and practice you had done with the previous weapon.
It's more difficult to practice another weapon from a scratch than the weapon you already mastered.
And honestly even Azul was not confident in doing things like this.
So he didn't bother retorting James.
Anyway, everyone had the right to choose what they do.
It was not right if he interferes.
The 3 girls, Mary, Layla and Freya, also didn't bother retorting.
They all just didn't care.
But now they just didn't know.
But they will all be surprised in the future.
A future where they will see a boy standing at the top of countless corpses covered with blood with his enemies who were surrounding him Shaking in fear, burning the whole battlefield!!
It would be a sight to behold!
