After the class which for him was boring but for everyone else it was an enjoyable class.
His next class is Dungeon Mapping which for everyone including him, probably the most important class there is. Since he is so weak and really cant do anything when out on raids he does the mapping for the party and make sure they don't get lost. It is his favorite class as it pertains more to him since its something he can actually do and is very good at it.
Along with mapping the class also goes into strategies ad different formations for fighting the monsters. They essentially have there own playbook like football, it helps the young hunters keep their calm more so when they are being over run by monsters or if they are up against a boss. they can use different strategies.
This is one of his favorite classes because along with mapping you don't need a lot of power to be good at strategies and making plans to fight the enemies. Usually in his party when they go into dungeons he takes the role of strategist and mapper.
After this class was finished they had a lunch break for about an hour before the worst class for him which is combat practice.
For lunch he packed himself a sandwich that he made at home. Nothing special it was just a basic peanut butter and jelly. He sat down with his friend underneath a tree, he bought his lunch from the cafeteria. He got pork ramen.
"Hey you gonna be good for our next class."
"Yea I'll be fine I got a little stronger Mako."- Ryuji
His friends name is Mako.
"Okay just checking I mean I am a B- rank swordsman so don't really have a problem sparring with anyone."- Mako
"Hey you don't need to rub it in that your stronger than me by a lot."- Ryuji
"Hahaha okay okay.... Hurry up and eat so we wont be late."- Mako
After they both finished eating the bell rang signaling the end of lunch and the start of the next class, they headed to the schools giant arena where not only do they do combat practice but also tournaments with other schools as well. So naturally its quite huge. (Huuuuuuuugggeee - DT)
Inside the students were all gathered around in a group, waiting for the teacher to come and unlock the weapons room. It is by far the favorite for ever stunt at the college as they get combat experience and also get to try different weapons.
The teacher cam and did roll call, everyone was here. then he unlocked the weapons room and told everyone to get the weapon that corresponds with your class and to partner up with someone similar to you.
Everyone got their weapons, usually everyone who gets awakened usually gets put into a class of Swordsman, Tank, Mage , or Archer to cover all basics for a standard small raiding party. So most people grabbed swords and shields short and long. The Mages grabbed daggers or knives so worst case they can get practice with close combat just in case their mana runs out they aren't completely defenseless. Of course this doesn't due much as the mage class doesn't have any close combat oriented skills with knives and such so they mostly practice technique and get comfortable holding a knife in their hands.
The classes didn't differentiate between gender it didn't matter if you were male or female, they were just put into the class which best suited them and the skills they have by whatever caused the awakening's. All of the classes are pretty evenly diverse.
The Tanks and Swordsmen practiced with long and short swords together which made them stronger and more proficient as those weapons best fit the classes and their skills that they have.
The Archers had practice with a separate teacher as they couldn't really practice with everyone else so they were at the other end of the arena.
Mako's class is a Swordsman so he used a long sword today but he usually prefers a short sword. Ryuji went to the weapons room and took out two daggers, his class is a unique class and if it wasn't because he was a pitiful E-rank than it would be an amazing class. He is a Warrior class which specializes in close combat and brute force with multiple different techniques inlaid in his movements, his father was a warrior class and also used two daggers as his main weapons. It is harder to defend against because they usually have more options.
As they get into their fighting positions in one of the rings in the back the bullies that he tried hard to not make notice him today finally did and they came charging over (The three bullies). They pushed Mako out of the way and surrounded Ryuji.
"Hey come on man just leave him alone."- Mako
"We are just going to spar with... our good friend here."- Johnny
"It's okay Mako... I'm sure there are some other people who could use you help sparring."- Ryuji
Mako nodded his head seeing that Ryuji really didn't want to get his only fiend involved in this and went to help some of the C-rankers out.
"I don't know how you are already healed but it doesn't matter I'll just break you again....hahah."-Johnny
""heheh""
"So care for a 'friendly' spar."- Johnny
Ryuji looked around at Enjo and Ito both of whom were giving no hesitating to move, he was thoroughly trapped with no way out.
"I don't really have a choice do I."- Ryuji
"Not really"- Enjo
Enjo chimed in this time.
Ryuji got into his fight stance with his twin daggers, with a focused look in his eye of I don't want to die.
Johnny didn't waste any time and quickly moved his sword in the air and charged forth to attack. Ryuji did his best to dodge but the power and speed difference was to great between E-rank and A-rank and ended up getting cut on his arm.
Making distance as fast as possible from Johnny just so he could think of something was all he could really do. However Johnny is a dumb bully but he does have quite a lot of fight and dungeon experience under his belt so with his heightened senses he knew what Ryuji was trying to do. But he was not going to let his wounded prey escape and charged at him again closing the distance that Ryuji and Striking again with his long sword, but Ryuji could see it coming although only a little and was able to block it with his two daggers shocking Johnny.
Ryuji was shocked as well to how he was even able to see that because Johnny used his 'quick strike' skill which made the attack even faster. But again Johnny regained his composure ad attacked the distracted Ryuji for a third and final time using his 'quick strike' skill again leaving a giant gash on Ryuji's arm and causing him to drop to the floor in pain.
"Gaaahhhh"- Ryuji
"Haha... yes that's the face you should be making... the weak will always serve the strong don't ever forget that LOSER!"
To add insult to injury Johnny and the brother each kicked Ryuji in the gut as hard as they could before they left. Leaving only a broken Ryuji lying on the floor covered in blood ad bruises. When the teacher 'finally' noticed him he just nonchalantly said to go get fixed up at the nurses office.
Grabbing his severely wounded arm he headed over there.
In the nurses office the head nurse is scolding him again for getting badly injured and said that if this keeps up he is going to call his guardians and have them step in. Ryuji nods his head and says that he will try to not get injured anymore, plus Ryuji's guardians are his mother and father-in-laws and he definitely doesn't want to bother them with this as they have already done to much for him.
The nurse then takes a look at his arm which to both of their surprises is actually visibly healing right in front of their eyes. Ryuji kind of expected this because of his new skill but to the nurse who has never even heard of the regeneration skill as no one has ever had it before and he sure as hell wasn't going to tell her because it could cause all kinds of problems if that skill got out.
He just quietly said "I guess you don't need to heal me after all, guess I can go now right."
The nurse didn't even know what to say at this point as she was just dumbly starring at his wound healing itself without any magic from a healer and nods in acceptance.
Ryuji grabbed some gauze from her cart wrapped it around his arm that still had some blood on it and walked out of the nurses office. Leaving a stunned nurse just standing there where she stood.
He makes it back to class and meets up with Mako who asked him what happened and he just replies nonchalantly.
"It was just a small cut on my arm no big deal."- Ryuji
"Okay but you should have got me even if it wasn't a big deal i would of taken you to the nurses office."- Mako
"Okay... okay sorry next time promise."- Ryuji
He knows that he is just being a caring friend but Mako can also be a bit over protective so he tries to keep him out of it. It also would of been a big problem if he saw his arm healing like the nurse did, if he saw that he would of shouted from the top of the campus overjoyed that I had such an 'OP' skill.
They both only had three classes today so they parted ways here so they can go get their homework done. But also because Ryuji was really tired all of a sudden which he figured was the cost of using his regeneration skill so he really didn't feel like hanging out anymore and just went home.
And ended the day sleeping soundly in his bed.
