Chapter 12 - Choosing a weapon

"Well than let's begin your training" saying that Gualterio asked Athan to follow him. After walking for few minutes they arrived at the backyard of the mansion which had variety of flowers being grown in near the side of the mansion but had a open area in the middle which was enough for him do some exercise.

Gualterio: I would have taken you to the royal army training camp but unfortunately it will be closed for few days as a holiday for the trainee so we will have to train here. Is there any questions you want to ask!

Athan: No I don't I guess.

Hearing him Gualterio didn't looked satisfied enough and shouted on top of his lungs almost blasting off Athans ear drums.

Gualterio: I didn't hear that say it again!

Athan knew if he didn't answer him with enough spirit his ear will blast out so he decided he should show him some of his energy. So he also shouted on top of his lungs.

Athan: I don't have any questions, sir!

It kinda reminded him of his scout classes he had taken when he was a kid. And he also added sir due to Gualterio reminding him of his past sports teacher.

Gualterio: Good that's the spirit I want. But before we begin your training I will have to know how much strength and talent you have and also do you have any weapon you usually use.

Athan: No I have only used knife till now as a weapon but I do know a bit of martial arts enough to protect myself.

Gualterio: I don't think with the way you move your body and with that big body of yours you are fit to use a knife as your main weapon but you do have silent movements which is good for assassins, do you have any other weapon with you, which we can use for training.

Athan: I had bought several weapons while I went out a week ago. Even though the weapons I bought aren't made of high quality metals and are not sharp but I thought they could be used for training.

Athan said while he took out all the weapons he bought from his inventory.

After he had took them all out he could see a pile of weapons laying scattered around the ground, there he could see a spear, sword, bow and few arrows, shield, hammer, etc.

Seeing all the weapon Gualterio didn't knew what to say. He checked them for a while and found out that they were made of cheap metals but the person who made them probably had high skills sense he could tell the sword Athan had took out had a perfect balance making it easy to swing around after trying it out for few times times.

Gualterio: Even though they aren't made of good materials they seem pretty good but you shouldn't waste your money buying so much weapon which might not even use.

Athan: Don't worry about there price most of them didn't even cost me a small silver. But anyways we should start testing them out.

Gualterio: Ok you should try them out and if there is any weapon you think that fit you well than tell me.

He said while looking at all the weapons laying in the ground, 'trying them all out will take some time but finding a perfect weapon that fits him will probably be worth it', he thought.

After that Athan started to try every single weapon he had bought, he thought he will decide which weapon he will use at the end after trying them all out. But after trying many weapons he came to a weapon he tried it as every other one but it felt to him like he was natural at using it, he felt it was far easier to use than any other weapons he had used.

He tried to use it for a while and he felt he was really good with it. Gualterio who was watching him was also amazed seeing his talent using the weapon and knew it was the perfect weapon for him.
