* Theo: Talismans, aren't they object with magics engraved on them?

* Exactly, these can be inscriptions, symbols or incantations, and you can use them anytime. It's similar to energy stones that are filled with electricity or mana. Still, unlike energy stones, you can inscribe spells or magic on talismans.

* Theo: But talismans are expensive and difficult to make since the stones used are expensive and hard to find.

* And who said you use stones?

* Theo: What?

* While there are stones that can enhance the effects of the inscriptions, the word "TALISMAN" does not refer only and exclusively to stones. There are also talismans made from iron, paper and even tree bark. You have to understand that for an object to become a talisman, it has to have an engraving, and that is the key for you to use several magic at once.

Hearing this, Theo begins to think about what the instructor said. Still, even though he understands it, he can't understand it, so he asks the trainer with some nervousness and doubt.

* Theo: How do I do it?

* You will have to learn techniques and skills that have to do with engraving and enchantment. If I remember well, there is a special skill called "magic inscription", which uses mana as if it were an inkblot, allowing you to enchant objects. This will help you place all kinds of spells on the talismans you create. I also recommend you to read all the attack type skill books so that, in case you can't use the talismans, you can use another sword skill that can help you in battles.

* Theo: Can you recommend any attack skills to me?

* I can't do it, it's not because I don't want to, it's because I don't know many attack skills, besides, my job is to give you a guide, I can't hold your hand all the time, but I can help you with some doubts you may have.

* Theo: And you think it will work?

*

* Theo: How can you be so sure?

* Because I've already tested it with two skills that are from different professions.

* Theo: Is that possible?

* Well, nowhere does it say that you can't learn them. Obviously, there are exceptions like the buff skill "angel voice" that requires being in contact with angelic energy and having a strong voice. Still, other skills don't require those requirements to learn. I learned the special type skills Possession and Seal Monster in my case.

* Theo: Isn't the skill "possession" a necromancer technique and "seal monster" a guardian technique?

* That's right, but nothing says that these skills can only be learned by them, and as a consequence, I was able to learn them.

* Theo: Why?

* To be able to seal monsters and merge with them.

* Theo: Is that possible?

* It is. Possession is an ability in which you let the weapon possess you, and sealing a monster allows you to seal monsters into objects, so, with that in mind, I sealed a monster into a sword which is an object and used possession to let myself be possessed by the sword with the monster inside it.

* Theo: And did it work?

* Of course, it did look.

With that said, I hand "scale" to him to see his description to confirm what I said, then I retrieve the sword to proceed with the explanation.

* But you have to understand this, I still don't have a profession, so I have no idea if that influences the learning of skills or not, so you have to think about it very well, understand?

* Theo: I understand, and regarding the sword, what should I do?

* That depends on you. You could become some kind of elemental swordsman or something like that. It's all based on your fighting style.

* Theo: Can't you give me any ideas?

* I'm afraid not, that path is yours, and I don't want you to follow the same steps as me when deciding your fighting style.

* Theo: It's okay, coach.

*sigh* I'm sorry, Theo. However, I have an idea of using the talismans to fight with the sword. I can't tell you because you would lose your motivation. You would be dependent on following my instructions to the letter, something you must avoid at all costs.

The truth is that when I was reading the skill books, I also intended to use talismans in my fighting style. Still, since I'm not a fan of magic or memorizing incantations, I put that idea aside and opted for this style of battle that suits my preferences better.

Since you want to use the sword, you have to learn how to move with it in fights, so let's practice.

* Theo: Okay, ...this... you will use real swords.

* Of course not. We'll use wooden swords, so let's get some and start practising.

* Theo: Yes!

With that said, I go with Theo to the building's storage room and grab 4 wooden swords to start practising.

...

After two hours of training, Theo falls face up on the ground, trying to catch his breath from the intense fight he had with the trainer.

While there was no danger of death, due to the continuous and wild attacks of Coach Marco, Theo felt considerable pressure in the battles, causing him to be concentrated at all times while trying to dodge and attack without any good result at that. Coach Marco approaches and gives him a bottle full of isotonic drinks that I take out of the warehouse.

* It- Not bad at all. You just need to practice and increase your MP and Stamina stats so you can last longer in fights.

* Theo: *aff* *aff* understood.

* I'll give you a sheet with workouts and a balanced diet to get you in shape. If you have any doubts, you can go see me at the library. I'm available from 13:00 - 18:00 PM.

* Theo: thanks *aff* coach.

* You're welcome for now; rest, then go to the showers and then eat to recover. With that said, I'll say goodbye and see you in the next class.

Once the class is over, I go to Siri to leave the kids' sheets, when suddenly I notice a big group of students outside the secretary's office.

* Boy 2: Miss Siri, we want another coach.

* Girl 2: Yes, the one we had was not only late, but after he arrived, he wanted us to wait for him longer. What kind of coach does that?

I see it turns out that they are the students that, from Theo's class, apparently were very annoyed by my attitude towards them, well I can't blame them, if my teacher was late to class with that drunken attitude, I would be annoyed too... no, the truth is, if they did that to me, I would hang him from a tree and put a bonfire under him.

While I was thinking about how I would act in such a situation, one of the students noticed my presence and pointed at me.

* Boy 1: There he is. It's the cheeky coach.

* Cheeky coach?! That's... very true. I can't argue with that comment.

* Girl 3: Miss Siri, please do something about this coach.

Siri looks at Marco, who is standing in the middle of the hallway with a face like he doesn't care what's going on. At the same time, in Siri's mind, she wonders if it was a good idea to hire this idiot.

* Huh? Why do I feel like you're insulting me?

* Siri: ...I'm not.

* Then why did you take so long to answer me?

* Siri: ...I didn't.

* But you just did now!

* Siri: ...it's your imagination.

* In that case, could you stop making that look? I feel like you want to disintegrate my testicles.

* Siri: ...

* ... I'm in trouble, aren't I?

* Siri: ...what do you think?

* Well, what's my punishment?

* Siri: I'll take away this month's salary.

* No problem. By the way, I need to give you the acceptance slips. In the end, I only accepted one of them.

* Students: What? Who was it?

* Theo is a very nice guy. He has the potential to become a mighty adventurer.

* Students: Theo?

* Siri: Are you sure he accepted? You didn't threaten him or anything like that?

* Do you think I'm capable of doing something like that?

As I say that, Siri stares at me with an expressionless face as if confirming that I would be able to do that.

* ... okay don't answer. But yes, I accept. I just finished training, so I just came here to give you the sheets and for you to give me some backup copies.

* Siri: Just that?

* Yes, and could you do it quickly? It's just that I have to go to the town entrance and pay a fine if there is a fine for what I did.

* Siri: ... Can't you go a day without doing something stupid, please?!

* Hey, I have a very good reason why I did it.

With that said, I started explaining everything that happened this morning to Siri.

* Siri: In short, you went hunting the glass fox, as a result of which you slept out in the open.

* That's right.

* Siri: But you forgot to buy an alarm clock, so, not knowing the time, you came running from the mountain to the city without stopping.

*

* Siri: And when you arrived at the academy, you were too tired and hungry. You explained almost nothing and just gave these sheets to the students and then went to bathe and eat.

*

* Siri: And when you came back, you saw Theo with the leaves from his classmates and then proceeded to train him.

* Yes, indeed, that would be a good summary of what happened today.

Both Siri and the students are silent, thinking that this story is so implausible in many aspects. First of all, there is the crystal fox, that fox was lost 5-6 months ago, and no one has been able to find it until now. The case was very popular since the original owner of that monster was a high ranking member of the merchant guild. The payment for giving relevant information is 50 gold coins, and the mission is still going on.

The second thing is that no one wants to camp in that area of the forest as it is home to wolves, monsters that are nocturnal and territorial that are not afraid of death and whose fur is resistant to arrows, so a group of melee fighters and mages is needed to defeat them and not be ambushed during the fight.

As for coming running from the mountain to the city without stopping, is it even possible to do that? No one in their right mind would run that distance first thing in the morning without breakfast.

* Siri: *sigh* okay, let's assume that what you say is true. Do you have any evidence to prove it?

* To tell you the truth, yes, I do.

That said, I proceed to pull "illusion" out of inventory for Siri to see and begin to explain.

* I seal the crystal fox on this sword. If you look at the description, you'll realize that what I say is true.

It is then that Siri begins to see the sword's description, causing her face to reveal an expression of astonishment.

* You see, I have told you the truth, now, if you could give me some copies of those sheets, I would appreciate it very much because I want to leave quickly.

* Siri: *sigh* okay, I'll give them to you, but tell me something, you didn't cause any trouble when you entered the city, did you?

* I don't think so, and if I have to pay any fines, I will.

* Siri: All right, wait a moment.

Siri enters the secretary and takes out some copies of the documents. After that, I grabbed the papers and said goodbye to her, but not before promising her that I wouldn't be late tomorrow.

When I left, the students stood there, not knowing how to react to what they had just witnessed.

* Girl 3: Coach Marco... did he catch the crystal fox?

* Girl 1: He's lying, isn't he? It's a C-ranked monster, and he said he caught it at night. Is that a joke?

* Boy 3: Miss Siri, did you really catch it?

When the boy said those words, all the other students turned their heads in Siri's direction, waiting for her to answer them.

Siri observed the look in the eyes of these students and sighed in her heart and mind as she realized that these kids did not want to accept reality.

* Siri: That's right, I looked at the description of Coach Marco's sword, and it says that the crystal fox is sealed. In any case, the problem is already fixed, so go to your rooms or train. I have to go eat.

With that said, Siri closes the door and leaves the building while the students are still processing if what they just saw and heard is real or just a lucid dream.
