Chapter 16: Finally outside
Finally after one month Neuron and Kyle were allowed to go outside the city, well, Neuron finished his ban before Kyle, but they agreed to go outside together so he stayed inside to train.
After an annoying time of waiting Kyle finally showed up, but Neuron didn`t recognize him at first, because he had a full plate armor on and on his back where a round shield, and a bastard sword, he only recognized him when Kyle stopped before him.
“Hey Neuron”
“Wow, I didn`t recognize you at first I, thought that you`d become some kind of Dexterity based class, well I guess looks can be deceiving.”
“Yeah, things happened; by the way, you look good too”
“Thanks”
Neurons gear was all made from leather, leather pants, shirt, and leather sweater, it didn`t give much defense wise, but it provided high mobility.
It really looked like the garment of a native American, and he knew it, so he also added many fringes to increase the effect.
The only odd things where his right and left hand gear. At his right hand he had a glove, that only covered his two dominant fingers, meaning his trigger finger and his middle finger, and at the left hand, he had a armguard, that didn`t just protect the outer part of his arm, but also extended inwards.
“I`m curious, where did you put the weapons I forged for you?”
At this Neuron pulled up his sweater, and showed his belt where he fixated all the throwing knives”
“Ahm, I see, but what about the shuriken and the axes too?”
“Are you blind they are right here too”
“How did you fixate them like this?”
“I just took a thread, made a loop on one end, then I beaded on some of the shuriken and put the other end through the loop, too fixate them there. Then I fixated the part with the loop on my belt.”
“Sweet, but can you throw them quickly like that?”
“Don’t worry, I trained that a lot. And about the axes, I fixated them right there on my back”
“So ähm, would you mind showing me your stats?”
“No, but would you show me yours too?”
“Okay”
Simultaneously: “Show Status Window to Kyle/Neuron”

“Wow, that’s strange”
“What” asked Kyle
“Well letting you see my stats, it’s like you are watching me naked”
“True, now that you say so.., well we have done it, so what is the stat accuracy for?”
“hmm, like it says it boosts my accuracy, increases the damage I do with ranged attacks, and also increases critical hit chance by a bit, but I can`t put stat points into it”
“Ok, I get it, and how did you gain the throwing weapon mastery, I only know of one throwing skill, and that is called throw”
“One day while training I got a weird message it stated, that I can somehow merge my throwing skill and my axe mastery skill, well and since you ask questions, I’ll ask some too, what’s the stat Block?”
“It basically lets me block attacks without reducing the durability of my weapons as fast and makes me also able to withstand strong impacts”
“Nice, how the hell did you gain this class, I never heard of it!”
“Yeah, gaining it is a bit tricky. So let me tell you my story”
“Go ahead”
“You know, why I chose this city, so I`ll skip that part. When I first entered the training hall and chose a weapon nothing happened, but when I began beating down the scarecrow Master, äh, I mean the Instructor, came over watched me and also gave me some hints. Then when I tried out the weapons I asked him if there was any shield here, so he answered, no, but I’ll bring you one tomorrow I can`t understand why he became friendly with me so suddenly, according to my brother they are all grumpy men who look at freedman with disgust.”
“Ah, there I might be able to help you out” interrupted him Neuron: “every time I asked Brairan and Warnton why they did help me so much the only answer I received was, because of boredom”
“Ah yeah, that makes sense, because this city was just recently discovered, the players didn’t have time to taint those NPC`s
At this Neuron could only nod and say: “So now let’s resume the story”
“Right, So the next day he approached me with a shield and offered me a quest”
“Let me guess, it was named Tutelage”
“Yeah, but why?”
“I got that one too” Answered Neuron nonchalantly
“Shall I tell the story or not?!”
“Go ahead”
“So where was i?
“At the quest”
“Good, so he tutored me about fighting and we also had some sparring matches, and there I never instigated an attack, I only defended”
“Boah, sounds tough”
“And you, how is it that you are classless? Didn`t Brairan offer you a class?”
“Well he did offer me to become an archer.”
“And, come on, don`t lecture me about not continuing my story, if you do it yourself!”
“Sorry, okay. I pondered about it really hard, I even watched some footage about archers, and there I noticed that archer are the most effective in groups off three and more, but one of the group has to be a tank, and the other some cleric, ore someone with healing ability. And to boot they can`t fight in close combat, if it comes to this, they are nearly as squishy as mages, but not with the bonus of high damage. And also the skills an archer gets are involving vision, what I already have and rapid fire, what I don`t need, because I shoot like a sniper and not like a MG. And also…..
“Okay, okay I get it, you thought it through, I get it, let’s head out already”
While heading out: “Kyle, why aren`t you using a war hammer, I always thought, that a defender should use one”
“I don`t have the strength yet to use it with one hand”
End Chapter 16
Finally are they outside ~Phew~
I didn´t think one month could be this damn long
