Chapter Four The Combat Master

Hello, Author here! I am going to answer some questions that some people had. There were people who said that they were wondering when the gender bender tag would come into play. Click the spoiler tag if you want to know.

Spoiler :

I am sad to say for the people who thought it would happen soon, well sorry, but no, that won't happen until volume two (Which will be around twenty chapters in). It has to do with his reincarnation. Another, thing that I saw, was that when I am going to have him reincarnate (Yes, that is what the RE: in the title means) there was very mixed reactions to the question of whether he will or will not reincarnate as a girl. As for that I simply do not know yet, I am not that far in my drafts to figure that one out yet. For that I will post a poll and see how it goes from there.

A post that I saw that made me think I was a little bland on the descriptions of the Tier system for the attributes. I did not reply because this chapter shall describe them better, otherwise I would have. But, thank you for letting me know! Also, I do read every post. It is really helpful when you guys point out something so that I may fix it, or explain what is. It also helps my writing and makes it easier for me to learn to get better.

 I did notice that I have gotten at least twenty more followers than last time and a few more favorites. That makes me really happy to see that happen, and it gives me more motivation to type the story! It would also help for me to get more ratings to see how many people enjoy my story and how many people don't so I see how I may make my story better. So thank you vey much!

PS. Any body know how to add pics without them turning out as code?

Now off to the story!

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I said. Just how bad is my luck...? First I have no potential affinity towards any magic... and now I have also found out that I am an inept, the only one of the growth types that isn't good at anything... how messed up. Does this world want to kill me? I was summoned to this world as a hero, but yet I have the worst in anything here in this world. At least I don't have some rare disease... Oh shit! I shouldn't say that, I'll probably jinx it knowing my luck. sigh...

<...........................> The Emperor was very silent. W... What's wrong...? Don't tell me that they can re-do the summoning if they kill me... Please don't make it something like that.

<....It seems.... that you, are exactly like my son... well, other than your looks> He tries to joke at the end, but his sad tone makes the joke lose all affect,which of course makes me forget about the thought of being killed and makes me worry about his mental state.

< I am sorry for summoning you here, young one. You are going to have a very hard time surviving in this world... This world is not kind to the inept... You'll end up becoming ridiculed as the Inept Hero...! If I wasn't the one who summoned you then you probably wouldn't have become an inept... I am known as the weakest of all the emperors, especially so after my son died due to my weakness...!> The Emperor said with a bitterly sad voice.

<........! You really are too kind... You don't know the circumstances, but...(shakes his head). Thank You, young one.> He says with a tender smile on his face. I'm not kind... not at all. I'm just trying to make sure you don't go crazy and get me killed. weakest emperor or not, you are still an emperor, I think while  making a difficult face. Emperor Xuttomor notices this and changes the topic saying:

The Emperor then starts walking off, towards the opposite of where I got the status crystal with emperor.

I quickly follow, walking behind him. I wonder what this is going to be like. Is gonna be an open yard? or is it going to be soldier barracks? If so I hope they don't make me stay in them saying it's a part of the training. Not a fan of smelly, sweaty dudes. And I wonder how they train their soldiers. Do they whack a post while calling out drills, or do they do it differently? Well... I guess I'm about to find because it looks like we're here.

We walk outside and it's considerably brighter than it was before, but that's because we went out early in the morning. I was probably on the ground for while during the status crystal binding...ANYWAYS, we walk out and there are fifteen to twenty soldiers sword-fighting these moving human shaped targets that were holding their own sword. The targets they were fighting looked kind of like wooden mannequins ( Looks like this), except they were moving similar to how the soldiers were  and had a crystal floating above them. The mannequins also had marks where the vitals are such as the spleen, which while I was watch somebody stabbed their wooden sword at one of those points. The mannequin then proceeded to put one of it's hands in the spot where the sword stabbed, like it was bleeding (Which it wasn't) and then continued to fight with the soldier. The soldier then proceeded to stab a small hollow in the mannequins chest, which it then  dropped it's sword and fell over, while the crystal that was floating over it earlier fell to the ground as well. The other soldiers seemed to be having a hard time with them... The soldier that stabbed the mannequin in the chest picked up the fallen mannequin and then put his hand over the crystal that fell on the ground. His hand glowed for a split second and then the crystal started floating over the mannequin, which is now standing again. He then commanded it to be on standby mode  and proceeded to turn around, and start walking towards me and the emperor.

said the soldier whom I guess is the Combat Master with a charming smile. (No Chandler is not gay, even though I do not have anything against gay people.)

Tengsin said smiling even brighter then before. What's up with this guy? he's like one of those super popular guys at school, who all the girls swoon over... So bright... That's it, I don't like him.

the emperor said introducing us to each other.

< Is that stupid nickname going to follow me everywhere?> I whine, which makes everyone whom heard it smile.

the emperor says discreetly and then leaves.

Tengsin called me out of my stupor, I seem to be do this a lot... Then, again these two days have been anything but normal for me...

He said lightly, surprisingly on point with his guess.

I ask sheepishly

He said in an awed voice.

< ....I heard that the prince passed away a while ago, he sounds like he was someone I would have liked to have met...>

he said in a very depressed voice. He sounded very angry when he said passed away.

< Hah, that's okay, I was just annoyed by how the nobles keep saying passed away... As if he died from a disease, or as if he died from old age... like he even got to live the full life he deserved... He was my savior... My teacher...  my friend... >

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

which he then pulled out and handed to me.

I said, wary of what the emperor said early about me going to be ridiculed as the Inept Hero.

Tengsin says but then my status appears on the mana tablet.

Tensig says in a quiet voice.( AN - wow somebody with a little tact! Maybe somebody should learn from him... *cough cough* Emperor *cough*)

Phew

< I see why the Emperor came in with that worried look on his face now. Don't worry I'll help you train with swordsmanship or any other type of fighting you think will be comfortable with.>

< do you mean that wooden mannequin with crystal floating over it?>

< Nah, I'm just gonna put it into practice mode and you're going to show me how you slash and stab. And I am also going to be watching how swing the sword, how your footwork is, and how you move your body in general, to see how much work I have to do.>

I then go on to pick up one of the wooden swords (which is weighted exactly the same as a real one) and... drop it because I wasn't expecting the sudden weight, which earns me a laugh (yes, brownie points!). I pick it up and then began to do practice slashes, aligning the edge properly, on the Wooden practice golem and knock it down a few times. And then I start stabbing the points that are marked and it falls down every time (the golem gets back up by itself), and Tengsin stops me. He hands me a wooden dagger, then tells me to try again. I knock it down every time, because I hit the mark every time with the dagger, until I trip, Then, Tengsin tells me to stop again.

He doesn't sound too happy...

He said in a very angry sounding voice. He sounds like a drill sergeant...

I said in a very small voice... Why are you looking at me like that for? He's scary!

he asks in a very soft, worried voice.

I said in a falsely excited voice. Hopefully, he'll change the subject, I don't want to talk about my past.

He says bewildered at my reaction to when he said attributes.

< The Emperor told you how there was three tiers to each of the attributes, right? Each Tier is stronger than the one before it, but also has a slower growth. Let's take the strength attribute for example. Strength is the lowest for Tier of of this attribute, and is the easiest to grow. Power is the second tier of strength, and it takes twice as much to grow Power, a second tier attribute, than it does to grow the first tier of strength. Then comes the third tier of strength, Brutality. Brutality takes three times as much to grow, compared to the tier one version of strength.>

I ask which seems to amuse him.

He with a sad smile on his face..
