Chereads / Mage? What's That? I'm An Esper / Chapter 8 - Martial Art Skill?

Chapter 8 - Martial Art Skill?

Time passed and it was already [2:00] in the afternoon, Sid decided to search in the internet about a certain martial arts.

'If I remember correctly most players with the Mage class can't use high tiered spells in CQC[1], if so why not learn martial arts. This game is exactly like the real world anyway, I might even learn a skill in-game if I use it there'.

Sid couldn't find a video so he just studied how to do it, the first paragraph on the site he was reading on told him that he needed to first have good flexibility and a slightly muscular body. Which of course Sid already had since he was in highschool, he would always exercise daily.

Sid stood up and began illustrating the moves he read about, he first studied the hand attacks as his room wasn't spacious enough for him to properly do kicks.

'Tomorrow morning I'll go to the park and practice it there instead'.

'Oh wait, right I could just practice it in New World'.

For a full three hours Sid continued to train, he didn't get bored along the way as he had a goal in mind.

'I need to eliminate the weakness of a mage'.

With a body covered in sweat he sat down and rested for half an hour.

Knock! Knock!

Sid's door opened and a girl walked in, when she saw Sid's current state she blushed and went out of the room.

Thud!

She closed the door, while Sid stared at the door with a puzzled expression.

Before Sid could find out the problem a cute voice was let out by the girl, "Next time don't take your shirt off inside the house".

Sid looked at his bare body, and finally found out why she walked out of his room, but he was still confused.

"Your my sister, why do you care about wether I'm topless or not", is what Sid thought without having enough confidence to actually say it.

"Is there something you need?", asked Sid.

"I heard you didn't go job hunting today, and I wanted to tell you that you don't need to do it anymore. Don't worry when I finish College I will immediately get a job and pay our debt".

"You won't even be able to go to college at this rate, what are you talking about?", Sid spoke.

On the other side of the door she wasn't there anymore so she didn't hear Sid. When Sid noticed it he just sighed, he then proceeded to take a shower.

After Dinner Sid went back to his room and logged in, but he felt something was off when he got in the game. A panel appeared, but Sid fell down before he could read the whole thing.

[Your current body isn't used to staying up the whole...]

-------------

Currently a man and a woman was sleeping on the same bed, their age? Judging by their faces the man should he around 15-18, the girl on the other hand was around 13-15.

A hand suddenly moved towards the chest of another, the person that was currently pressing the chest of another spoke.

"How manly...".

The person that had a hand on his chest, gently moved the girl's hand away from his chest as his eyebrows twitched.

Sid checked the time, [9:30] in the game while it was [21:30] in the real world. He pulled the blanket and was startled when he saw what was underneath.

It was the plushie of a wolf, how it was made? Sid didn't care about that. He was just surprised to see a cute girl hugging it while she was asleep, of course one of her hands was placed somewhere else.

Sid looked at his body and noticed that he was also topless so he looked around the room if his clothes were there, and thankfully it was.

When everything was normal and Sid was outside of Lily's room he glanced at the panel that appeared before he became unconscious.

[Your current body isn't used to staying up the whole night, so you got inflicted the abnormal status: Unconscious].

Sid sighed, 'Luckily I didn't find out the hard way, if not I probably would be back in the real world cursing'.

[Your stomach grumbles, you are hungry].

Sid checked his inventory and found out that the food he had in it were uncooked. He went in front of Leon's room and knocked, but no one answered. He walked towards the backyard, and there he found Leon punching the air.

When Leon punched the air, a Lion shaped air blast was conjured.

Leon noticed Sid and spoke, "It seems you were lucky enough to see me use Battle Aura once again".

"Anyway Leon, I wanted to know if I could use the kitchen".

"Oh you can use it whenever you want".

When Sid went to the kitchen to cook, he thought that the appliances were weirdly the same as the real world's. This allowed him to cook properly and when he finished cooking, he made enough for three people. One was for him and the other two was for Leon and Lily.

Thirty minutes passed after he ate breakfast, he went to the backyard and decided to imitate the moves in his mind.

Sid did numerous attack, Leon on the side found it amazing that Sid could learn martial arts quickly. Every attack that Sid did connected and was like a combo in fighting games.

Sid stepped forward spinned in the direction of his back leg while he was raised his knee as he jumped, to perform a spinning crescent kick[2].

When Sid got his feet back on the ground, Sid was flooded with martial art skills.
