He had chosen a pair of metal claws as his weapon. After trying it out for few times he found that it was really easy to use and he felt it was no different from using his fists as a weapon. Also Gualterio seeing him use the metal claws felt Athan had a natural talent for using it.
The mental claw had a simple structure and had few designs carved in it's blades. But due the materials used to create it being cheap, it didn't have super sharp blade and even Athan as a novice could tell that the claw can break easily if he used it to attack a shield with his full power sense it was a bit light and gave a feeling of being not durable.
The claws suited Athan perfectly and with his handsome face he looked like a cool ninja. He continued to play with it and after some time Gualterio approached him.
Gualterio: Those pair of claws seem to fit you perfectly what do you say want to give them a try.
He said while picking the sword from the ground and pointing it at Athan. Even though Athan knew he was no match for the strongest warrior of the kingdom sense he couldn't even defeat a elite warrior without transforming. Even so he decided to fight him so he could learn about his power a bit more and also the system had said he was not able to use his body potential to its fullest. So he will try to use it while fighting with him.
Athan also took a stance to fight Gualterio while pointing his claws at him.
Gualterio: Very well than attack me!
With out any delay Athan charged at him and with his new body he was able to cover the distance between them instantly and he tried to strike him at his neck with his full power using the claw in his right hand. But before his attack could reach Gualterio's neck he sensed danger telling him to move or his life will be in danger and he immediately backed off using full force in his feet. While backing off he saw a sword almost touching his eyes which if he hadn't dodged he would have lost both of his eyes. Seeing that he almost lost his eyes Athan knew even if he could regenerate them back but if he don't use every way possible he will get seriously injured by this monster in front of him.
He decided lunch himself again but this time he put even more force in his feet, destroying the ground he was standing on a while ago and making him arrive near Gualterio again but this time instead of attacking he did a side way turn with his hands raised almost hitting Gualterio in his abdomen but he just dodged Athan's attack like if Athans attack were nothing.
Athan kept on attacking him using different strategies but none of them worked against Gualterio he was about to attack him again but he heard a system notification almost making him trip and fall.
[ System has detected the use of claw arts would host want to process the techniques he used in data collection function of the system. ]
Athan: 'Wait let me finish the match first.'
He said while looking at Gualterio who was standing still. He continued his battle for almost an hour or so but after that Gualterio stopped him.
Gualterio: That should be enough for now you can stop.
Hearing him Athan stopped his claws from almost hitting the Gualterio in his face.
Gualterio: You have a great talent I have to say that and you are also creative with your attacks. After every attack you changed you attack patterns that I have to say you are not that bad. But you should rest for now go and have your breakfast.
Athan was having his breakfast when Lina and Gualterio came and after that he was immediately called to train so he hadn't finished eating his food. He was also hungry so he decided to go back inside.
When he got back he could see Lina talking with Alina happily. He got to one of the couch in the living room and sat there soon Sebastian came and Athan asked him to bring him some food. After he finished eating all his food he went to his room saying he was tired and he will rest for some time.
Arriving in his room which looked like a room 5 star hotel but only a bit old type, he immediately went to the bed and sat there.
Athan: 'System you said something about claw art or something what were you talking about.'
[ I was requesting host to use the data collection function to process all the moves host did in his training to perfect them using training function. ]
Athan: 'And what do you mean by that.'
[ Data collection function does as it says collects all the data in the hosts surrounding and studies them finding all about the things host sees and using the function host also has stored all the technique host used during training which were all I mean 0% of the host's movement were perfect and deemed useful by the system.]
Athan: 'You can't blame me for that, I mean it was my first time even using the metal claw what do you expect.'
[ Either way host should use the stored data and process then in the training function which will auto correct all the technique to perfection and also create new technique in using the following tool.]
Athan: 'Wait, wait are you trying saying to me that I can just master the weapon using it for only once!!'
[ Host doesn't need to shout and yes you can master all the weapons and any tool using them only once but all the mastery will differentiate.]
Athan: 'Differentiate, meaning.'
[ Host what system is trying to say is, let's say you use the broom to wipe the floor in that case the data collector will collect the data of the action where the host learns to wipe the floor meaning if you process it in the training function you will gat a perfect technique to clean the floor but if use the same broom and use it as a stick to attack someone than the data collector will collect the data of the action in which the host uses the broom as a weapon meaning pressing it in the training function will give you a perfect combat technique using the broom.]
Athan: 'So the data collected will be identified by the way I do things.'
[ Correct host.]
Athan: 'If that the case than process all the technique I used while fighting Gualterio.'
[ System processing, please wait...complete. Do you wish to transfer the processed data to your brain.]
Athan: 'Sure.'
All of sudden he felt his head having a head ache and he saw different techniques of using the claws, swords, spear, knife, doing parkour, dashing, thrusting, martial arts, etc all of flooding in his brain making it hurt even more every second and finally after 5 minutes or so Athan started to feel the pain go away.
Athan: Damn system I thought it was only suppose to be technique to use the metal claws what is with all the additional stuff.
He moaned while catching his head from all the pain he suffered for minutes and after few minutes he finally calmed down. And the system answered.
[ Just as I said before it created new techniques while processing the ones the host gave it as it is it's function. And also host should be happy sense host was able to master almost all the melee weapons and also learned other techniques like parkour and many other in perfection even though you will have to do mussel memorizing but you have the knowledge which is said to be the most powerful weapon.]
Athan: 'Guess you are right but isn't the system a bit too overpowered I mean to do something like that.'
[ Host the system was used to be used by the strongest god in existence you should at least expect something so easy as this thing which even humans can do if given enough time and if the human has talent and determination.]
Athan: 'Strongest god, how much power does that guy has.'
[ Simply a lot I meant you can't imagine it.]
Athan: ....
[ Why don't you test your new techniques out while that guy is still here.]
Athan: Well I guess I should give it a try.
He said and went down where Gualterio was eating his breakfast and Lina and Alina were still talking. He sat next to Gualterio and waited until he finished eating his food and then he challenged him to have a duel with him.
Gualterio didn't say much just laughed and accepted and than they went back to the backyard where the weapons were still scattered around. Athan quickly stored them back and took out the pair of metal claws and gave a sword to Gualterio. After that Gualterio took his stance while Athan did the same but this time his stance was completely different than the previous one. Gualterio did think much but before he could say start Athan was already in front of him almost having a clean hit in his neck.
He didn't think much and dodged Athan's attack while he was dodging Athan jumped and rotated in the air while striking Gualterio leaving many cut marks in his back where all the attacks landed.
He stopped and looked at Gualterio who had many injuries but he had a huge smile in his face, he looked at his back and almost instantly his injuries healed. He than snapped his fingers and neck and after that almost instantly he arrived in front of Athan striking him more than thousands times in a second with his sword. Even though Athan didn't get any injuries because of his clothes but he was knocked out completely cold making him fall in the ground.
Gualterio: Looks like I went a bit too far, but damn this kid was able to injure me when was the last time that happened, hum hahahaha not bad nat bad at all Athan.
