Chapter 3: Friend

The head priest asked many of us what our special skills were. Of course we had the right to refuse to tell ours which I did.

I found out that there were many powerful skills out there, and some of them were waayyy too overpowered in my opinion. Some of them were things like calling down lightning from the heavens, or summoning a giant badass world, or for the Random dude with the hat, one of his skills was instant regeneration. That was cheating in my opinion. Although many of these skills did have drawbacks like only being able to use it once a day or something like that.

The head priest also wanted to know about our individual stats were. I also refused to tell mine. Turns out that mine were definitely above the rest. I guess being a former MMA fighter definitely makes me stronger.

We were sent back to the castle to experiment with our new powers. Although some of the people were strictly forbidden from using them because they were seriously dangerous. Like creating a fire tornado or something,, which I thought was crazy.

After lunch the captain of the guard told us to come to the barracks because we were going to get a weapon to train with.

First we went into the armory to find a weapon for ourselves. There were some people who had magic affinity and they went elsewhere with the Royal Magician to learn magic or something.

There were many different types of weapons that were stored in the armory. Short swords, Long swords, scimitars, sabres, claymores, broadswords, falchions, daggers, axes, mace, war hammer, flail, staves, brass knuckles, gauntlets, knives  spears and many others that I didn't know the names of.

I saw a cool looking sword that i was interested in and picked it up.

*ding* a window popped up.

Due to your skill Weapon Wheel you are not able to equip any weapons except through spinning the weapon wheel. You are able to store weapons into the weapon wheel, but for every good weapon a bad weapon must be stored also.

Would you like to store Claymore?

I clicked the yes button and it disappeared. Then another window popped up.

Your Claymore has been place into the "good" category of weapons. You must now store a "bad" weapon into your weapon wheel.

Hmm... This is puzzling... what is a bad weapon?

Suddenly I had an idea.

I went outside and found a rock.

*ding*

Would you like to store this weapon into your weapon wheel?

I found it amusing because it was a rock. And I guess I could technically use it as a weapon but I don't think it would be very useful. But I chose yes nonetheless.

I decided to take in all kinds of weapons from spears, swords, bows and arrow, and axes into my weapon wheel.

But I also had to put in useless things like more rocks and sticks also.

The guard looked at me strangely as I was somehow magically able to put away a large amount of weapons, but he didn't question me.

Next the Captain of the Guard took us out to the training field to practice with our weapons.

I took this chance to use my skill Weapon Wheel.

When I activated it a huge wheel (imagine the wheel that you spin from wheel of fortune) came out and had an arrow that said "Spin here". And so I did.

Everyone came over to see what I was doing. The wheel was separated evenly from "good" and "bad", which I assumed were the quality of the weapons.

The wheel was getting slower and eventually stopped... on bad....

My weapon wheel disappeared in a puff of smoke and in my hand was a stick.

'Frick... This isn't funny at all..'

There were a few snickers but I decided to ignore them.

I deactivated my ability and the stick went away in a puff of smoke also.

I just decided to practice what I was second best at.... Hand to hand combat.

I went up to the straw training dummy and began using the skills I learned throughout my life and pummeled the poor dummy. The soldiers overlooking our training looked impressed with my skills and one eventually came up to me and asked for a spar, without weapons of course.

He unarmed himself and got into a fighting stance. The captain of the guard was to be the referee for this match. When he announced to start, the soldier rushed towards me with a wide swing and I was easily able to dodge.

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

I quickly grabbed his wrist and twisted it behind him and forced him to surrender. It was really anti-climatic.

The stupid soldier spouted some shit about me cheating and the other stupid soldiers actually agreed with him!

'Shit... it must be that stupid Falsely Accused title of mine.'

But eventually the Captain of the Guard told the soldiers to resume training the other heroes. He looked at me with disdain and left me to my own business.

'Sigh... seriously this title is going to be the end of me.... I managed to get the entire royal guard to hate me in one day...'

At night I didn't feel like eating with the others because of my title, so I ate in my room alone. After that I had Sally, my maid to teach me more of this world's language.

While I was learning from her I gained one stat in intelligence which surprised me.

Also another thing I learned was that the numbers in this world were the same in my world which I thought was interesting.

Sally still treats me with respect but I think she is forcing herself to do so because of my status as a hero... Curse this title.

The next day we were given one personal guard from the Royal guard to take care and protect us. They would also be our teacher in weapons.

The Guard whose name is Nathaniel didn't really seem to like me. Sigh... this is starting to get really old... Anyway, Nathaniel is about 5"11 and has brown hair and an angular face that looks pretty handsome in my opinion. (no homo)

When he told me to get out my weapon of choice, I had to explain to him about my situation. He honestly looked surprised and told me to activate my skill.

I did as I was told and luckily this time I got a decent weapon. This time I got a short sword that I took from the armory.

Nathaniel looked pleased with the weapon that was randomly chosen for me and he began giving me drills and pointers on how to use it effectively.

Overall I think he's a pretty nice guy but because of my title it was kind of a hard day for me.

After dinner alone... in my room... Sally taught me more of this world's language again before I went to sleep.

The next day I bumped into someone that I didn't expect to meet.

"Benji?"(me)

"Hahaha.. Yes it's me Zane. Why are you so surprised? Don't tell me that you didn't notice me the entire time I was here?"(Benji)

"Hehe...... um.... kinda....."(me

He looked at me and sighed....

Well first of all, let me explain who he is.

His name is Benjamin Jackson. He is 6"7 black man with bulging muscles. I swear, with his clothes off he looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime.

He has average looks (in my opinion) and has a short temper.

He was also an MMA fighter like me and we went to the same gym and sparred a few times together. I met him when I was a beginner and we quickly became friends.

He knows boxing and judo. Boxing is a must in MMA so practically everyone knows it.

Benji was with me during the night I accidentally killed the dude so he knows that I'm innocent. Which might probably be the reason why he isn't so hostile to me.

We caught up and chatted about what happened to each other when we got here.

He said that he was in the court room watch my trial and was transported here like everyone else.

Blah, blah blah,.... He said his skills were Berserker's Fury and Herculean Strength Berserker's fury allows him to get no damage for a certain amount of time and increase his damage 100% and can only be used if he is under 105 of his HP, and Herculean Strength allows him to increase his strength 10 times for 5 minutes but has a cool down of 3 hours.

He said he got the title Work out Addict which increases his Strength, Stamina and Endurance by 10. I cracked up when he told me about his title because he really is a workout addict.

His schedule is working out 4 hours a day and training in martial arts the rest of the day after that. I tried working out with him once and was so sore the next day I never worked out with him after that.

In the ring he forcefully makes his opponent submit using his brute strength and putting them in chokeholds or other painful grappling methods.

When I told him about my skills and titles he made fun of me but got serious when I told him about the Falsely Accused one and felt sympathy for me.

Anyway we decided to train together and that night I actually went to the gigantic dining room to eat with him.
