Chapter 18: Combat class

After going out of my survival class, I think the information I got here is probably not that great or accurate, but it was honestly helpful. That I got any will help me to keep alive, as I don't want to just blindly go into a cave which has a giant board saying that don't go in, or you will die. So learning languages is important; there are almost 30 of them, and for me with 20 intelligence, it's really easy.

Right now, I was going into the Dojo to learn how to use weapons and not look like someone who is just dancing around with a big ass sword and so much power but can't hit anything like Darkness from Konosuba. So I am going to put my full focus into it.

As I went into the combat class, I was greeted by almost hundreds of sleepers who are practicing. I think I was a little late, but who cares? So I went in, and just like before, a lot of people are now looking at me as I strolled past them to Awakened Rock. He was a bear-like man, feels like his mother went into a Bear cave or something.

"Sleeper Asmon, welcome to the class. I want you to tell me your combat experience, and you should take the test where we measure the powers, so give it your best."

"Well, my first nightmare has taught me a lot, but I still have no real combat technique, so I hope your teachings will help, and you can share some of your experiences."

"Yes, I will, with all of you for the past 4 weeks. So I would like to first check how the first-ranked fights, and don't worry too much. Go ahead with your test."

As I looked at what the test was, well, it was some DBZ ass shit where you had to punch really hard on a plate, and it will give you a number. And right now, the changing star was going at it. From what I could tell, a normal number is anywhere between 10-11, and higher is 13-14. And from what I could tell, Nephis got the highest 16 right now. Well, looks like it's time to flex on these kids.

So I made my way towards the machine, and first, I put my name down and looked at the big plate. I had to think, should I really give it my all or not? But I decided not to, as my strength stat is 40, dex 30, and intelligence 20. So I don't think I can really go all out, or I could not explain even with Divine class why I am so strong. Forget about using my amplification skill; that would be an overkill.

So, without giving it my all, I punched hard and fast to make it look like I gave it my all. Well, even holding back, it was too much, as the number kept climbing higher and higher. And I can also see some people's mouths open with that and eyes going wider and wider. It was already regretting it. I should have held back even more, but it is what it is for now. But in the end, it finally stopped at 30, whole 14 points higher than Nephis, who also has a true name and a Divine class that, for now, no one knows.

I think I broke some people's minds. They could not believe I was this strong as a sleeper. They are probably shitting themselves if there is anyone who even thought about challenging me. Sigh, I was not going to grow arrogant, as I have external powers' help plus knowledge of the future. These kids are just trying their best. So after the test, I went ahead and equipped my Farron greatsword and Dagger and also summoned my hat so I can fully prepare like it was a real fight. I got assigned a personal trainer, and he was not too bad. He was impressed I could already manage my sword like a master who has been using it for his whole life, but I was here to learn how to use it.

And just like that, I was learning how to use the sword for some time. And I know damn well that rat Sunny is spying around with his shadow that he, as a Divine shadow slave of the shadow god, got very good for scouting and has a lot of variety. It can be used. If not for the fear of always telling the truth, that pervert brat's shadow will be in some girl's bathroom right now. I have to teach that kid some proper sex ed, as no one has taught him, or he will probably end up doing something stupid in the future. Sigh.

And at the end of the class, Instructor Rock told us, "Now we are going to fight in a ring with any means necessary. The rules are simple: either throw the opponent on their back or out of the ring." The first person to go in was Nephis, and she is arrogant right now, as she thinks strength is everything. But it won't last long; she will grow out of it. But her arrogance also has a reason; she is really skilled with the sword at her age. So it was valid to some extent, as she was going on a massacre right now. No one can stand a chance against her. So in the end, before Caster went in, I went in first, as he also had 21 points in that test, second-highest after my 30, still 9 points behind me. But I bet he is hiding his power; he can push it to 26-27, and Nephis even more, so she can reach 28-29 if she used her flames a little, but it causes her terrible pain to use it. That's her flaw. So I went into the ring with my greatsword.

"So I heard you are a princess or something. Your skills are really great from what I could see. I hope we can learn from each other." I bowed a little to indicate the starting of our match. She was a little tired, but she was holding up great. I don't think I can beat her pure skill, and that's the only thing I was after. So I had decided to only fight using my sword, as using my strength is a fool's way.

"You held back on the test machine, did you not, Sir Asmon? You used no technique. I hope you don't hold back in our spar too." After saying that, Neph got into a stance, and I also put the sword on my back and lowered myself to the floor, which got eyes on me, as it's a very unusual way to hold the sword or any technique. Well, they will learn soon why it was.

And just like that, our spar started, and from the jump, I can tell I was stronger than her. But it was not a test of strength for me but sword and lacked far behind in comparison to her. She has a firm grasp on the art of battle, and it was showing what good power will do to me if I miss my every strike. But even still, my unusual way to using sword and Dagger was throwing her off. If she attacked overhead or a big slash, I always parried her with my Dagger, and I was way faster than her too. So our fight was dragging out a bit as I could not hit her either, and she was slowly overcoming meas she has a strong base for her skills. I was empty and hollow; it started a little in my favor, but quickly, I was losing to her. In the end, I surrendered and ended the match, as she was a better swords user. But if it was a real fight, she will die.

And just like that, she was now fighting Caster. A lot of people's opinions on me being the strongest did not change, though, even with a fight I lost, as they probably think I was holding back a lot. I have not used any of my powers of the aspect but just swords. Well, I hope this coming week I learn a lot.
