So i woke up same as every other day here. Head over to the field early, and do the special training, and at spirit training somthing happend. I got scales! On my arms. It seems i reached the point where i not only get claws, i also get scales up to my elbow! But enough about that. In magic training we practice common magic, and learnt some more shapes. But the best part of today was the weapon training! We actually started training!

So we got to the weapon field. And in a row was some knights with the captain standing of at the side.

“Today you have all gotten used to your respective weapons, so we will now begin training. Go to the captain that is using your prefered weapon. Of course you may change weapons, but training will be much harder.”(knight captain)

Each knight had a different weapon. Halberd, spear, chain and sickle, duel swords, sword and shield, great sword, bow, dagger, and some other weapons.

I was going to walk over to the sword and dagger knight, but the knight captain pulled me over and said

“oh no no no! I will be training you. And the first weapon will be duel swords. It will help you raise your dexterity, and you will gain some level of ambidextroury.”(knight captain)

While the others trained with the knights i trained with the knight captain, now i’m sure you're all wondering, nick, how hard is your training compared to the others? Well i would love to tell you, but i have to concentrate fully on the training; that is how hard it is. He had me stand with with both swords, then he pushed, pulled, and prodded my body to get it into a stance, that held me low to the ground, and had my left hand sword pointed up with my hand at my knee, my right hand sword was parallel to my eyes. He had me hold that stance for the entire time. It was two hours! My knees, and arms were in hell!

The next day when magic training came around it was time to actually learn how to use holy magic. Now i have four gods, i don’t know two of them, and from what the pope told me the god of pride is a circumstantial god. Now what that means is that they don’t have any spells i can actively use but i will get a boost under the right circumstances. As for the god of combat, you can only use the holy power to boost my physical body. So most of the time was me doing that. As for david, he practised the god of war, allowing him to survey a battlefield, so they had him lead a team in some mack battles. Then weapon training again, this time he had me stand in another stance. This time i was leaning forward, both swords pointing upwards, with them to the sides of my hip. By the end instead of my legs, this time my back was in agony. The others i saw moving while learning how to properly swing their weapons. I fell into a deep sleep that night.

A week passed. I had five stances i had to learn and stay in for an entire session. the first one i learned was meant to parry, and counter an attack. The second stance was to attack forward at any time, the third was to retreat at any time, with me leaning forward left foot out, and swords facing forward level to my chest. The fourth is to defend an attack. With my body slightly bent, swords in an X shape in front of my head. And lastly a stance to all out attack, my right arm straight out sword parallel to my chest, left arm pointing left with the elbow bent at a 90 degree angle, sword in a reverse grip. On the sixth and seventh day i started doing mack battles against the knight captain. He would constantly point out my mistakes or advice during it. As for magic, in common we learnt many symbols to make spells, in holy magic i got more used to my enhanced body strength, more specifically learning my limits. And arcane we learned for image the cost of doing certain things. As for scripted we learnt some more words and how to use them. The word we learnt were.

* Susutin - Sustain

* Colodai - colossal

* Swoku - swift

* Powkuna - powerful

* Magino - magical

* Oa - oh

* Heekeru - heed

* mo - my

* caru - call

* Mighuyoi - mighty

* Noof - of

* Olrui - old

* Divmi - divine

Most of these words were what is called chain words, or words meant to connect other words to boost power like

[oa swoku fasai boluto]

{oh swift flame bolt}

Is faster than

[swoku fasai boluto]

{swift flame bolt}

We had more duels like when we first learnt scripter, but i wasn’t challenged much… because i’m not popular? Or because i’m too strong? But today after all that in weapon training we started dueling. Triston challenged me, whether he wanted to reclaim his pride, or because he felt i was weak i don’t know but he did.

We stood across from each other. He was using a sword and shield, and was in an offensive stance. I start in stance one.

“start!”(knight captain)

Triston dashed in, and slashed at me from my upper right to my lower left.  I use the flat of my left sword to bash his sword knocking it up off course. I then attacked with my left blade going in for an uppercut on his left flank. He staggers back, and puts up his shield. I go into fifth form, and do a whirlwind slash. It presses his shield outwards i continue with stabbing my swords forward, he tries to use his sword to parry while dodging the other. My left sword hits the side of his flank. But due to being a blunt wooden sword it only bruised him. He goes for a vertical slash from top to bottom. But i catch his sword with stance four. I then use my swords like scissors to lock in his blade. I then spin my blades to through his sword. And the duel ends, With it being my win. But it was kinnda obvious that it would end this way, he was allot slower than the captain.  so i had the advantage the entire time! and so i go to sleep just as every other day.
