Laying there with no more strength. Master Jin has terrifying strength now and I’m experiencing it for myself first hand.
“You’re body is interesting,” Master Jin said while giving me a cup of tea.
“Why do you say that?” as I sip on the tea.
“I expected you to fall within a minute. However, you lasted a good 3 minutes.”
“That doesn’t make a huge difference.”
“Well. You're done with training now.”
“What?”
“I taught you everything there is. The last training for you was to apply what you learned. Now it is up to find your own style in RE Taekwondo. I told you in the beginning, you can create your own moves and combos with no difficulty. All you need to do is imagine,” Master Jin said.
“So what do I do now?” I asked him.
“You should go out there and gain more battle experiences. With that, you should then find your own style of RE Taekwondo,” he said while walking into the cottage.
When he came back out of the cottage, he had a few things with him.
“Here are things you will need for your adventure.”
The items comprised a sack, a journal, and a letter.
“I found that sack along my adventures. It has unlimited amount of space. The letter holds my name and honor. If you run into any trouble in the main city, this should be able to bail you out.”
“And the journal is?” I asked.
It’s a journal with secret moves. Or maybe a journal filled with Master Jin’s adventures.
“It’s just a plain journal. Nothing special,” he said. “When finding your own style. It should come in handy when you write down your ideas.”
As I got up I looked at the items.

Empty JournalType:MiscellaneousDurability:100 / 100Quality:FMagical Journal.

“So how do I work this thing?” I asked Master Jin while holding up the small sack.
“You just insert your hand inside with the item in mind. If you don’t. You’ll just pull out a random item.”
“And how am I supposed to write on this journal without a utensil?”
“If you touch it and use your imagination, drawings and words will appear,” he said while making a rainbow with his hands when he said imagination.
“I guess that’s all right,” I said as I put the journal into the sack. “So where should I go to?”
“First off. Go back into town to stock up for the adventure then travel to a town for beastmen. In the town, you should be able to learn more about your own race.”
“Well I guess I’m off,” I said with sorrow.
“You’ll be fine. You're my discipline.”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It didn’t take that long when I entered the town, it was the same as I left. Nothing seemed to have happen while the time I was gone.
I should go get some new gear for me to wear. Maybe I should also look for new things I could learn that could benefit during my adventure, I thought to myself.
As I entered the tailor shop.
“Good evening. How can I be of help to you?” an old old man with fair clothes asked me.
“I would like to purchase light gear.”
“What might your budget be?” the old man asked.
As I took out my ID to check how much money I had.
Identification CardName:LudusRank:BronzeRace:BeastmenMoney: 1 silver
Holy shit I’m poor.
“1 silver is my budget,” I said shamley.
“I’ll see what I can do.” the old man said as he went in the back.
I think I should go grind some monster or do some quest for money later on.
“This is the only things I could find for your budget.”
The old man came back with some leather gear.

“These were pretty much just sitting in the storage room collecting dust. So I’ll give it to you on sale. So that should be 50 copper coins.” he said as a magic circle was formed over his hand.
“Thank you,” I said as I swiped my card over the magic circle.
“If you need an upgrade. You know where to find me.” the old man said.
“What is my stats?” I whispered to myself while leaving the tailor. “Status Open”

The hellish training paid off pretty well, I now have insane amount of stamina and strength for normal level 1’s.
Well time to look for new skills that will help me along my adventure. I think if I visit the Training Hall, I should find what I need.
As I enter the building, it seemed as crowded as the last time I was in here. People sparing left and right, testing one another's combat abilities.
“Hello. It’s been awhile hasn’t it,” as a girl walks up.
“Hello. Thanks for the last time. Is there anything I can learn to help me during my adventures?”
“If you look in the shelf there. You should find many books about survival skills,” she said while pointing on the far side of the building.
“Thanks,” I said while walking towards the shelf.
There was a lot of skill books about surviving the wild. There was a book on poisonous ingredients and even books on the different rocks around the different regions. A book on different wildlife was also there in the shelf.
I have about 17 slots left for skills until I find myself a class. So I need to make best decision on skills for my adventure.
While searching through all the books on the shelf for a good hour, I had picked up 5 books.
Cooking 101Type:Skill BookDurability:N/AQuality:CYou can't fight with an empty stomach.

Dueling 101Type:Skill BookDurability:N/AQuality:C+I challenge thee!

Cooking will help during my adventure because I won't always find myself in a town and it will save me some money. The identification skill will also save me money and the poisonous identification upgrade will also benefit me, not dying from eating some poisonous ingredient. The thief skill will come in handy whenever I need to steal something for a quest, or something like that. I picked up the dueling book just because it sounded interesting.
The cost of the books weren't that expensive, about 20 bronze coins in total.
After paying the for all the books I opened up the Dueling 101 skill book.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lesson 1: Willpower
One must not forget to fight with not just his body, but a combination with his soul. Without the combination of both body and soul, the individual has already lost the fight. So never falter when you are facing a disadvantage, use your head. There are endless amounts of choices to overcome the challenge at hand.
Lesson 2: Analyze
Observing your opponents movements is crucial towards your victory in a duel. With the understanding of your opponent’s movements, it will allow you to successfully counter your opponent and dodge incoming attacks.
Lesson 3: No Rules
In a fight or brawl, there are no rules. Always have that in your mind and take advantage of your opponent's openings, it doesn’t matter if you fight dirty. Go for areas that will affect your opponent's way of fighting. E.g. Male=Pelvis, Female=Chest, Punch=Elbow, Kick=Knee, etc.

These new skills are going to be helpful during combat. Knowing that I can do things like apply negative effects by just doing cheap moves will save from a lot of battles. The one I can’t even believe is the analyze skill, it’s going to help a lot seeing my opponent's strengths and weaknesses. Leveling these skills will benefit me later on too, the more I level it the stronger the skill gets.
After thinking over how I’ll first test these new skills…
*Uhhhhhhhhh*
A loud moan from a girl echoed in the center of the Training Hall.
