Chereads / The praetor system / Chapter 5 - Chapter 5.

Chapter 5 - Chapter 5.

Waking up the next morning I smile softly as I get up and walk into the bathroom stripping off my clothes and helmet before stepping under the lukewarm water.

"Today we'll head over to the training center after I create me a nice double edged spear."

-even with your powers you intend to use a regular weapon?-

"yes, especially because i can channel certain spells through the spear as I'm attacking and increase my versatility In battle."

-your definitely learning my friend-

Finishing my shower, I step out and get dressed placing my helmet back on my head I grab the steel shower rod and channel my power directly into it. "Transform"

With that the shower rod becomes denser and shortens slightly from six feet to about four and a half before two long leaf shaped blades appear on either side of the spears shaft.

with a small smile hidden behind my mask, I spin the spear once biting my lip as an idea occurs to me. "power of creation - Inventory"

A small gold rune absorbs into my chest as I learn the new skill. Inventory - gives the user a 100km X 100km space to store any non living material. inventory skill automatically organizes items.

With a thought I send my spear into my inventory before heading downstairs and talking to Rebecca for a few moments. "Good morning Rebecca I'll be heading to the training center today, do you need anything while I'm out?"

"No, I appreciate you asking tho. Where are you headed this early in the morning if you don't mind me asking?"

Leaning on the counter I place my chin on my hand and look at her. "I'm going to head down to the training center and practice with my new spear."

Rebecca tilts her head at me. "when did you manage to bring a spear in here without me noticing?"

"Oh it was rather easy actually." With a small woosh my spear appears in my right hand, one end gently pushing into the carpet while the other points towards the ceiling.

She shakes her head and laughs softly. "Your not only new to town your also a mage that can use spacial magic?"

"Yeah I learned a skill that allows me to have an area that only I can access, plus of course I have my spacial ring but I only use it for small stuff you know?"

She nods quietly and then looks up at me. "what else can you do, if it's not rude of me to ask that is."

Pulling a copper coin from my inventory, I mutter "transform" under my breath as a beautiful bouquet of blue and black roses take shape in my hand. "I can transform inanimate objects into any other inanimate object. However right now I can only do small to mid size objects, I can't create a building out of a piece of wood or anything like that."

Rebecca accepts the flowers and blushes ever so slightly, if not for how closely I'm paying attention to her I might not even notice.

"Thank you for the roses prism, I have to get back to work enjoy your training and have a nice day ok?" With that she runs off into the back of the building.

"Thank you" I mutter to no one in particular since she ran off so quickly. With that I make my way down the street, weaving through the elves and orcs. At one point I even spot a group of what seems to be hobbits, meandering around and looking at everything they can.

This slow leisurely walk leads me a few blocks from the hotel and directly into the first floor of the Ravensville training center and weight lifting gym. After about ten minutes of walking around and looking at the different training rooms and some of the programs offered by the center, I approach the front counter. There stands an orcish gentleman that's about 6'5 and looks like a small mountain.

" 'xuse me sir I'd like to rent a room and someone to teach me a few spear stances and attacks."

Looking up from the form he's filling out, the orc looks me over from top to bottom and then looks at my spear. "You won't be training with a sharpened spear so you might as well put that one away." After jotting down a few notes he puts the form in a stack of other papers and hands me a piece of paper. "Read and sign this. Each two hour training session is five silver coins and we do accept advance payments if you intend to do more than one session"

Taking the paper I read every word of it and sign my name at the bottom before handing him the paper and twenty silver coins. The paper basically states that they are in no way legally liable for any possible damage sustained from not listening to the instructor. if the instructor is found to have made a mistake that caused injury, then financial compensation will be awarded

Looking the orc straight in the eye I chuckle softly. "So when do we start?"

"Oh I'm not a spear instructor, I teach great sword training and sometimes war hammers." He flexes his arms for a second. "Always been worried I'd snap a spear in half if I swung to hard so I just stick to my big weapons, to answer your question though you start tomorrow at 11."

"ok thanks I'll be back tomorrow then, ya know you really should try spears. Maybe holding back with a thinner weapon will help you have greater finesse when you use a larger sword or hammer just a suggestion." with that I head up to the gym and spend a few hours working on a couple different weight machines. One reminds me of a bench press except the bar Is secured so if you drop it, it can't crush you.

After about three hours, and more sweat than I'd care to admit, I head back to my hotel room and drop off another gold coin at the front desk. "extend my stay please and thank you" With that done I immediately get to my room and take an extended hot shower.

"Tomorrow I start my training Praetor, once I truly master the spear I'll have a battle mage teach me how to channel my magic within my weapon."

-I'm glad to see you working so hard Prism just keep up the good work-

With that I climb into bed naked and slowly drift off to sleep.
