Chereads / Barbaric Ways / Chapter 4 - Week 2

Chapter 4 - Week 2

I wake up in my private room the overseers gave me for my straight week of victories against the chumps they've been sending to fight me. After getting up I start to head for the chow line for breakfast until I'm stopped by a strange man in a dark cloak hiding in the shadows, he motions for me to follow and faintly whispers "follow me barbarian I wish to gift you a boon for the coming adventures you and the amazon will have very soon" I nod my agreement to follow him into the room he's standing near after which he locks the door and asks "this may be a stupid question but do you know how to read,write,and count" I answer yes so he answers " good so this will be easy now please don't struggle or you could destroy your mind". After he finishes speaking he places his hands in my temples after which I grunt in pain as his hands started to burn as they pushed some sort of energy into my brain which knocked me out cold.

After waking up the strange man helps me up and tells me "Alright barbarian look at me and think scan " I do as he says and the following information appears

"Hmm you stats are much higher than expected for your age and to be honest I don't think I've seen seen a multi-class your age or skill before , bear in mind ive seen people at your level but boy are you strong no wonder these chumps can't touch you out there, but they are getting annoyed that you keep winning and walking out without being told you can leave so they plan to put you in your place with this next match but the good news is that they are letting you pick a partner but pick wisely because you will be fighting two rare creatures something called a lamia from the southern jungles and a Minotaur from a distant dungeon which means you can't punch these things to death like the others so use a real weapon this time and with that I bid you farewell barbarian" after that the strange man disappeared into a shadow and was just gone.

As I make my way back towards breakfast I spot Rionna at her usual table and sit next to her to eat and greet her and I say hello Althea "Hello Jeager how'd you sleep" not bad but some strange man gave me a gift to help me and you in our coming adventures "what did he give you?" He gave me the ability to see the ability level of anything I look at " ok so what is my ability level" I'll check(Scan)

Status:Completely trusts you with her life

Hmm your pretty close to my level beautiful"stop saying things like that Jeager or I'll think you're seriously thinking about me in a romantic or sexual way" And what if I did think of you that way princess"then I guess that would make me very happy because every other dipshit here has tried to woo me in this place but you , you became my friend, taught me to fight as your people do, and protected me from those brutal slavers who planned to torture me so if you say that you truly care for me like that then I accept your affections Jeager as you are more caring a man than any person deserves in a place such as this.

"By the way Jeager my true name is Althea." Thank you for telling me that Althea I suppose we should get ready for the fight. Yes lets go get ready.

As me and Althea get ready I grab a two-handed Claymore of decent quality along with a steel helmet I also grab a hard leather breastplate and a belt loaded with throwing daggers while Althea picks a hardened steel boar-spear with a few sets of bolas with an open-faced helmet. After tooling up we head to the gates we share our first kiss and enter the arena.

As we enter the arena the announcer does his thing and says NOW ENTERING OUR CURRENT REIGNING NEWCOMER JEAGER THE BARBARIAN AND RIONNA THE AMAZON AND NOW ENTERING FROM THE OTHER SIDE BLACKHORN THE MINOTAUR AND BLOODSCALE THE LAMIA.By the Gods I wanna kill that guy Althea "me too Jeager me too " as we start moving forward I the Minotaur roars and charges towards us I say Althea you take the cow I'll take down the garter snake "got it Jeager" . Althea throws a set of bolas at the Minotaur's feet knocking him straight to the ground as she stabs him in the ribs with her spear twice before he jumps back up and starts to circle around her. The lamia however approaches much more methodically than the Minotaur so as not to get wounded as easily as he did . The lamia I feel I should mention looked from the waste up like a beautiful woman with long red wavy hair, green eyes,pale skin, and breasts about the size of watermelons and from the waist down she had the body of a snake with red and black scales on top with white scales on her underbelly with a body length of about ten feet. As I close in she whips her tail at me at waist level just slowly enough for me to dive over but as I dive she wraps her arms around me which are way stronger than I'd thought and whispers "please just give up just surrender I just want to live and I don't want to hurt you" my response is to say just follow my lead the Minotaur is dead already he just doesn't know it yet , I have a plan so we both can survive just roll with the punch like you are knocked out. She nods yes so I free one of my arms and throw a punch to the side of her her "knocking her out cold" and throw one of my daggers right between the Minotaur's eyes killing him instantly, as we finish the governor asks if I have any rewards I wish and my answer is that I want the lamia as a reward and he shrugs ok take it barbarian it's only a beast anyway.
