Chapter 11: The Training knife

The next day, he was very careful to not mess with the seniors and tried his best to stay as far as possible from them. It was the same case for his seniors, they were evading him. He didn't even greet them which showed that he was not giving them face. He was just staying away from trouble. Aser observed that he had already made a name for himself. Everyone was wary of him and looked at him with strange eyes. He went straight to the classroom.

He saw the same 7 students. There were 4 females and 3 males. The ratio of male to female was exactly 50 percent. His eyes fell on a boy who was wearing civil dress in the classroom. He was sitting on the last seat. He was interested to see someone having so much gut on the second day of the college.

He was Ron, son of a well renowned Late Sacred hunter. Aser also saw the fact that he boasted about getting rank 4 in the exams. He wanted to ask a few questions but he stopped as he saw the dean entering the classroom with a familiar face behind him.

SENEY!

She gave a light smile to Aser.

"Her family has this kind of power ??" Aser was shocked.

"Rayfield!" Ron exclaimed seeing their newly appointed professor and coordinator. He wanted to know what the dean was instructing to the class but he could not shift his focus from Ron as he was telling him about his wife, Seney. Aser knew nothing about her. He knew she had a background but a background this strong is unimaginable. He had been living with this girl for the last two years but still he knew nothing about her.

Seney Rayfield attended the college when he was just 15 years old. She was Evolver at the age 15. She crushed every record there was at the age of 16. She was known for destroying the college building once just to show her capability. She was known for her bullying skills all around the college. No one dared to mess with her. She even had a fight with a professor, she was injured by mistake, the next day, the college faced the greatest threat, they were two star hunters of the Rayfield family. It was the first time, a few people witnessed the might of star hunters. They had different level strength from humanity. The professor was thrown out and dean had admitted his fault publicly. That is the spoiled daughter of the Rayfield family.

Aser was stun hearing those things from Ron's mouth. He never thought Seney had such a scary background. He also wondered if she really had such a scary background. Why the heck did she marry a commoner like him. She could easily get a star hunter to marry the least.

"Since, you are my brother, I will advise you to stay away from her" Ron tapped Aser's shoulder and told him.

Aser smiled back at him and agreed to his proposal . Now, how could he say, that she was his wife ?

The institute knew more about his wife than he did. He felt ashamed of himself. It was because he could constantly go out to earn some money as quickly as possible so that he could provide her with a better life. If he knew there were two star hunters in his wife's family, he wouldn't have mind being a stay at home husband.

Aser focused in the lecture with all his might, he could not move his eyes from his wife. He was constantly observing every little movement she was doing. It was only matter of the time before the lecture got over. He got a offer form Ron to join him in exploring a dungeon. He agreed without hesitation.

Everyone was walking out and Seney was packing her stuff. Aser thought of walking back home but he was not sure if she want to show her relationship with a student, who had no background or strenght. He was walking away with Ron.

"Aser, wait back" Seney ordered in front of the class. Everyone looked at him. Even Ron was surprised a little. Ron replied 'all the best' and walked away. He waited for the students to leave the classroom.

As soon as the last person left the classroom, he came closer to her and whispered, "What's my punishment, professor?" Seney smiled, and laughter.

She was done with her packing, she took her bag and showed her to hand to Aser. (to hold hands)

"Are you sure about it?" Aser asked.

"If I was not sure, I would have married you" Seney replied.

Aser hold her hand and they walked towards the exit of the classroom. Many of the professors knew Seney. A few seniors knew her but not all of them, Many of the people looked surprised she was holding hands with a first year. Most of the 1st year students thought she was a senior as she was not seen on the introduction day.

Only a few know who she really was.

*********

Aser was standing in front of a dungeon. Ron was beside him and there was Seney beside him. He jjust told him, she was a good friend of him. He was not sure about how to explain his relationship with the professor to Ron.

They stepped inside the dungeon, the moment they stepped in. the humidity rose to a high extend. They were on a sand and in front of them were a path made of stones in the bright summer weather. This dungeon looked different than any of the dungeons he had visited. He felt like it was a human friendly dungeon.

He saw students fighting with different creature as they went deeper in the dungeon. Dudgeons were mostly covered in darkness and were mysterious, but this was completely opposite. He observed Ron, he was looking at the view, it looked like a vacation spot.

There were actually dungeon guards in certain location, they were strong. They were just to protect students from danger. No wonder, there was no deaths mentioned as the tag line of the college. They were following Seney as she knew about the dungeon. Aser observed the beasts other students were fighting; mostly the monsters were all sea creatures.

As they got deeper in the stone narrow path, there were few guards but none of guards urged them to stop. Aser had guessed it, it was due to Seney.

He found it weird, that it was mentioned in big words not to jump in the water whatever happens. The guards will take care from there. Students should be able to jump in shallow waters and be safe.

At a point, she stopped and took out a chair and said down on it, Aser and Ron looked perplexed at her. A few seconds later, they saw massive scorpions crawling from the water. It was so strange. He didn't felt like the scorpions want to kill them rather it felt like they want to live and run away. Aser observed the scorpions which were twice his size.

Ron went to fight with the scorpions but he retreated in a minute as he understood, the scorpions were out of his level. He was not their match. Seney gestured him to go and fight with them, but it was strange that the scorpion didn't even took a step towards them. They were waiting for their opponent to step in.

Aser stepped forward. The scorpions were smooth in their attacks. But Aser was stronger than scorpion. He caught the claw with his bare hand and pushed it away. Seney, Ron was looking at him with a unbelievable expression. He thought about killing the scorpion but it was of no use. Even if he got a skill from the scorpion it won't be strong enough at his current level.

Aser retreated back, he gave Seney a smile just to show how strong he was. He needed to prove his strength as her man. She removed a knife from mid air and passed on to him. He grabbed it.

[Skill: Evolver Training knife](can Evolve)

Aser felt weight in his body as he hold the knife on in his hand. He got a new skill. He quickly checked the knife. He was curious what kind of attributes it would have.

[Evolver Training knife: The knife specially designed and crafted to trained yourself to restlessness and break your levels. It will absorb your stamina and strength and evolve to the next level.]

"Fight the beast without using your strength and speed" Seney commanded.

Ron also went to challenge the scorpion again. Aser dashed he saw that he was already slow due the weighted gained by the knife. He was constantly defending himself with the scorpion. The scorpion was a incredible martial art fighter. He could not get one single opening, every move of the scorpion was well sorted and skilled, he was not even getting a chance to attack on the vital points of the scorpion.

Soon, he realized that the knife was sucking all his power and stamina. The scorpion was continuously attacking him, he was defending himself and not finding a chance. He was not going to be able to fight the scorpion for a long time. The scorpion was getting strong slightly as he was losing his power.

Aser was still a match for the scorpion where as Ron had put a armor and a ice sword to fight with the scorpion. Aser was still fighting but could not get a chance to strike the scorpion on its vital point. He had no experience in martial arts. Seney quickly caught it, he never trained himself or fought with humans to get stronger. He may be easily crushing opponents below his level.

The moment, he faces a opponent who would be at the same level of power and strength. He could be losing in technique and skills. He felt his body getting numb and he was losing his sharpness due to fatigue. The knife was actually draining him.

He looked at Ron to check how he was doing. He saw that he was improving continuously as with the armor and the ice sword he the level of difference in the power had reduced. He could fight the scorpion. Aser could tell Ron was a better fighter than him, but he was stronger than him. He can't win every fight with just strength.

He wanted to get back but the result will be the same. He gathered his courage.

"Dodge the attacks rather than defending yourself, jump and bypass the claws. That's all you need to finish that scorpion off" his goddess Rose suggested.

He looked at the scorpion with his fighting spirit rising high in the air. He dashed towards it, he knew it was the last try for the day. He didn't have any energy in his body. The scorpion continuously lunched attacks on him; he defeated as first and started dodging the attacking.

He saw an opening after every attack, he didn't hit because the claws were defending as it was moving continuously. The goddess rose was right; he needed to jump for an opening.

He jumped and bypassed the claw of the scorpion and pierced the knife on its chest. It growled in pain. He had a smile on his face. But the next moment, he was hit by something on his right side. It was Ron. One scorpion had thrown him holding his sword. Ron clashed with Aser and his scorpion; they all together fell on the water.

Ron still float on the water due to his armor but Aser was pulled by the scorpion, Aser deactivated the training knife and removed the katana from his ring and started slashing as hard as possible. He felt like the scorpion had gotten stronger in the water. It was injured and bleeding.

He realized he was not having a hard time in the water, he could not breathe but could keep his breathe for a long time without any effect on his body. As deeper they went, it was getting darker and darker.

Soon, the scorpion lost hold of him and fell on the water losing control of its body.

He soon felt the ground of the ocean bed on his feet, he looked up to the sun but he could not see the sun. There was light coming from above but the stone path was not visible form the ocean bed He was about to swim back to the top. But his eyes went wide open when he saw a group of scorpions coming towards him.

*******************************************

Guess what happens next ??

Will Aser be able to save himself ?

Or this is just the start of something big.
