Reaching Magda town, Sam was looking for a good place to sell his loot from the mad wolf.
"I recommend you to keep the loot with you, all mad wolf loot seems useful to you" Listening to an ex bronze adventurer, Sam just go to the adventurers guild.
"Well, here we are" George then looks at Sam and speaks "I will be going inside, look for me when you come back to retrieve your iron rank necklace, don't worry, it will be good to you"
Making sure that he will remember to do that, Sam goes to the second floor, where he find a different lady guild.
"Hello, I will like to report my successfully completed rank mission"
"Very well, you have to give me your guild card to actualize, and looking it was a solo mission, the silver coin used for collateral, the iron necklace and guild card will be retrieved two days from today, and will vary according with the overseer report as previously explained." Explain the guild lady as she gave me the mission rewards, one silver coin.
Nothing more important need to be done there, so Sam just goes to an inn. He wants to look at something since yesterday.
Finally in a room Sam exclaim "Status"

"Interesting" Then he select the only skill in his possession.

"So that was what happen, no wonder I thought that the mad wolf was to easy"
The next two days Sam take it easy, he just explore the city, sleeps and do a light exercise regimen… he couldn't do more because he doesn't have his guild card and was already totally poor. –I will not use the gold coin, it's for emergencies- Sam was thinking at the same time he wishes to go to have some "fun".
Having reaching the deadline for his stuff, Sam enters the second floor of the adventurer guild.
"I'm here for my iron rank name tag, Name is Samuel"
"A moment sir" The lady starts looking at some papers "Here it is, Samuel did a successfully rank mission and he did it without help and was not necessary to intervene. This means you have your collateral in total"
Feeling rich for the little things, Sam remember something.
"It's George around here? He was the overseer and asks me to look out for him"
The guild lady trying not to laughs respond "He is in the training field at the back" –So this is the newest victim of George? I going to bet a single week-
Not knowing what's its going to happen to him, Sam enters the training field where he found George selecting some training related stuff. George feeling watched turn around and see Sam.
"You didn't forget, good. Now before anything, attack me with everything you have" Said as he throws wooden weapons to Sam, weapons that he believed Sam used. Surprisingly there's a wooden saber to.
"If that what you want" Sam takes the wooden saber and rushes to George. Sam tries to cut diagonally but George blocks the attack with a wooden sword and kick Sam in the stomach. Sam quickly stabilizes himself again and tries with a horizontal cut.
"That's not going to work, try something else" George doesn't seem impressed as he kicks Sam back again.
"If that doesn't work, then…" Sam discards the saber and takes two practice knifes. George seeing this also discards his wooden sword, but doesn't take other weapons.
Feeling underestimated, Sam tries a double combo of cutting in reverse grip with his left, and stab with the right one. George as if it's nothing, grabs both hands of Sam, kicks his pivotal leg and then pushes Sam back.
"Come on, try to at least touch me one, otherwise I will be disappointed"
"Okay, this is not working" Sam takes a deep breath and relaxes, throws both knifes at the ground, and take a fighting stance.
-This rookie it's not bad, he relaxes himself after a clear provocation, he have a future as an adventurer- George likewise take another fighting stance.
"Huu…HAI" Sam screams as he do a right straight punch, George defends and do another right punch that Sam defends with his left arm, then Sam tries a right low kicks that George dodges taking a step back without forgetting to do a left front kick. Sam dodges to the side and does a left hook.
What he didn't saw was that George also defended for a possible left strike, so when George defended the hook, he grab Sam arm and spin with it, sending Sam to the ground.
"Nice, now it's my turn to attack" Told George to a tumbling Sam. Ten minutes later, you can see a beaten black and blue Sam in the floor of the training grounds.
"I already saw your pole technic: a novice, knife: beginner, saber: barely beginner and a surprisingly good hand to hand combat, scratching novice" Speaks George sitting in a chair in front of a defeated Sam. "Your pole it's good, your knife technics need to be more unpredictable, you need to do follow-ups to your saber attacks and I see three different types of stiles in your Martial arts. I can help you train all of this until you reach an intermediary novice level in all of that, any questions?"
"Why me…"Speaks a sore Sam.
"Don't think too much about it I'm only a ex copper rank nothing more, but I have a lot of time, so I like to polish some interesting youths one in a while for a hobby, so they don't die to quickly . So, what do say?"
"… I can do it" Sam resigns to his fate.
The next day, Sam arrived to the training grounds of the guild, where George is already waiting for him.
"You don't chicken out even after been beaten like that? I like your spirit. Now the first issue, I can't help you with your pole technics, since you already a novice rank in that you should be happy, then the first thing I'm going to polish it's your hand to hand combat technique" George then gave his analysis after thinking in the previous fight.
"I can see you learned three kinds of styles, but never actually used at the same time, that's why every time you want to change the stance, you leave yourself open, I'm pretty sure that if you only do a single style you will be already a intermediary novice, but I can see that you don't want to throw any of them, so you barely are a novice in that"
"So what do you suggest?"
"Practice, practice and more practice, we are going to spar until you get the hand out of it"
From that day on the picture of a defeated Sam resting in the training ground was a common sight for at least a month.
