Chapter 2. Training

I get up from my bed and go outside of my new room. A maid is already waiting for me. Again... Horns and a tail. It seems I am the only one without Horns and a tail...

"Hello, Colin. I am the maid that will escort you to wherever you want. Where do you wish to go?" (Maid)

"I wish to go and see the Head Butler of the Mansion." (Colin)

"Alright. Please follow me." (Maid)

The Maid starts walking East and I follow her. We walk for a bit until we reach a huge clearing infront of the entire mansion. A man is training in the middle of the clearing.

"The Head Butler is currently training. Do you wish to interrupt him?" (Maid)

"Yes. I want to train wth him. You may go because I think I know my way back and I don't want to go anywhere else anyways." (Colin)

The maid bows and then leaves while trying to keep back laughter. I go up to Silan and he stops training and comes towards me.

"Colin! What are you doing out here?" (Silan)

"I want to train with you. I'm really weak so I want to train!" (Colin)

"Hmm... I cannot personally train with you yet as I will kill you in one hit. You can train with Xavier. Xavier!!!" (Silan)

I had to cover my ears when he shouted... He was that loud.

After a bit of waiting another dragon-like person runs towards us.

"Yes, Teacher!" (Xavier?)

"Xavier, I wish for you to train with Colin. Just don't kill him. He is still lvl 1." (Silan)

"Yes Sir!" (Xavier)

Silan walks away and leaves me with Xavier.

"Shall we begin then?" (Xavier)

He takes a sword from the sword rack a meter away from us and I take one aswell. Luckily these are just wooden training swords...

I take up one of the many stances used by the characters i've seen... This one is from a certain sword fighting death game anime. That anime's MC's stance is a little bit weird. Your sword is behind yourself and you are slightly crouching forward... This is an effective attacking one but not a defensive one.

"It seems you are attacking. I'll defend then." (Xavier)

Xavier takes up a defensive posture and I charge at him and swing at his chest but in the middle of swinging I change direction and hit his knee full-strength.

A blue message pops up saying how much damage he took but I just discard it as I don't need to kill him and he'll survive my little petty attacks.

I jump back and he takes his defensive posture again.

"A feint? A pretty good one aswell... Are you sure you are a lvl 1?" (Xavier)

"I'm just mimicking  sword styles that i've seen." (Colin)

"I'm prepeared for you this time. Come at me!" (Xavier)

I run towards him but instead of a full on attack I slide underneath him and hit his elbow and back and then jump back. I notice Silan watching our little fight.

"You are a good attacker... How about defending?" (Xavier)

"I'll try." (Colin)

I take up one of the actual real defensive styles that i've seen used in games. I put my sword diagonally while slightly crouching down again.

Xavier runs at me while holding his sword in the air. He strikes at me but I block it and his sword flies back and I hit him in the stomach with the handle of the sword. He jumps back while coughing out a little blood.

"Oi oi... You're getting a lot stronger each time you are hitting me. What level are you right now?" (Xavier)

I pull up my status.

"I'm Lvl... 8... How did I lvl up that fast?" (Colin)

"Well it actually makes sense. You are hitting lvl 115 Draconian. I'm the fourth strongest here." (Xavier)

"Oh... I didn't look at your level. I thought I wouldn't be strong enough to even hurt a lvl 50. And you all really are Draconians..." (Colin)

"Ofcourse we are. We are part of the Draconian Nobility. Don't tell me... You don't know where you are?" (Xavier)

"I thought that much was obvious..." (Colin)

"I'll explain while we fight. Let us both attack and defend at the same time." (Xavier)

I nod and put my sword vertically above my shoulder while still leaving enough room to parry or block an attack.

Xavier charges at me and I block his attack.

"You are on the Hellion Continent-" (Xavier)

I put more strength and push him away and strike at him from above. He blocks it.

"In the Draconian Kingdom-" (Xavier)

He pushes my sword away and strikes at me but I dodge the attack and try to hit him from the side. He blocks it.

"In the house of the Terafell Family-" (Xavier)

I pull my sword back and hit him straight in the stomach with it. He stumbles and falls on the ground and I put my sword near his neck.

"The Sixth politically strongest family, The Fourth strongest military amount wise, First military strength wise thanks to Silan over there." (Xavier)

I help him up. Silan walks over to us.

"That was a good fight. I'm impressed you are this strong, Colin." (Silan)

"I'm only strong because I mimicked sword styles from the other world. They were... Quite effective." (Colin)

"True. But now... It seems I can train you a little. I won't need to hit you. You need to hit me. Xavier, train with Memui. She should be back." (Silan)

Xavier's eyes sparkle and he runs away.

"Who's Memui?" (Colin)

"Memui, the Third strongest here. The Second Strongest is Pintra. Pintra's on a mission far away from here though. He won't be back for a long time." (Silan)

"Ah. Well... Let us begin then?" (Colin)

"Yes. Let us begin." (Silan)

Silan takes up the defensive posture I used when I was defending, the only difference is he seems better with it.

I take up a completely different attack posture. I put my sword up in the air and run at him. I seem to strike from above but mid-strike I change the direction to the left and I try to hit him from the side, he blocks it easily.

"Again." (Silan)

I try to attack him again. I use the attack stance I used before. I charge at him and swing at him from the side but almost at the end of the attack I strike at his elbow. He blocks it again but with a little bit more difficulty.

"Again." (Silan)

I try to attack him again. I strike from below, he blocks it. I strike diagonally, he blocks it. I strike at his chest directly, he blocks it. I trike at his sides, he blocks it. I strike at his head, he blocks it... I strike at his horns, he barely seems to block it. I found it... The spot I could strike from.

I charge at him and seem to strike at his head but I strike at his horns. When I almost come into contact with his horns I strike at his head again and hit him in the head instead of the horns. If I know anything from my world... Never strike at the horns. They create the most pain but also enrage the target if you did not hurt them enough.

"Good. You finally hit me once. It seems day-time is almost over... The Little Miss wants to eat soon aswell. She would be happy if you came." (Silan)

"Sure. I will come." (Xavier)

I put my training sword that is on the verge of breaking  back on the rack and leave with Silan. I look at my status again.

Lvl 15 already... I have a feeling it's going to be a lot harder to lvl up from now on...

I go to my room and see a shower... I enter it and press the tap and water comes through... Why do I feel like Magic is being used here? Ah... No matter.

I shower and dry myself and put on some clothing that was already prepeared for me... These maids do work fast. The butlers do aswell but I see a lot more maids than butlers...

I walk out of my room and the maid that escorted me before escorts me to the Dining Room I was in before. The others are already there.

I walk to the free spot and the spot I was already sitting in before.

"I'm sorry that I am late." (Colin)

"It's no problem, Colin! I just got here aswell!" (Vivian)

Vivian, the 'Little Miss'... Cute, Honest and very nice. If only I wasn't a stranger in this world and she wasn't so young I would love to marry her... But I have a feeling that Silan won't allow anybody unworthy to marry her anytime soon. Like an over-protective father...

I start eating and Silan tells Vivian all about the things I did today. Exactly like a teacher boasting to another one how successful his student is...

Everybody laughs when he tells that I couldn't hit him but when he gets to the part where I did hit him they look at me and some of them even spit out their drinks.

Even Xavier and the new girl that I haven't seen and who I presume to be Memui spit out their drinks or have their jaws drop...

I felt really embarrased at that moment. Luckily Silan quickly changed the subject and we went on after some people dried themselves...

After we ate I left into my room and looked around my Status... There should be an inventory somewhere.

I pressed my name and a weird screen popped up... A bank?

It can even be used in Private Groups that have

their own money system.

So... Much... Money! Wait... These numbers are suspiciously close to all the billions I had in my banks... And the Trillions of Yen I had in my banks... Don't tell me... My money was transported into this world aswell!? My god... I'm rich...

What shall I do with this money right now though... I'll just keep it a secret for now I think. I don't want to cause too much of an uproar  before I am strong enough to defend myself from high-leveled people. Now that I think about it... Xavier and Silan had so many chances to hit me but they didn't... Was it because I was too weak and could've died? I'll need to thank them later...

I guess my inventory tab will have to wait since I don't have it apparently. I clicked on everything and thought about it appearing but it didn't appear.

I guess it'll become avaible later on..?

Ah... I'll go to sleep for now.. I'm tired after that training.

I close all the tabs and go to sleep... I have so much money so I could technically buy an army to defend me but I want to get stronger myself... Strong enough to defend myself and anybody around me.

I fall asleep soon after.
