Five days later….
After five straight days of Alatar training his strength, agility, and stamina not only did he gain 80 stat points in each category respectively but he also had his affinity with Frost increase to 75. In the day, Altar began training the sword as another way to increase these three stats inbetween his cardio and weight reps. Alatar would swing a wooden sword in each direction one hundred times before going back to run his laps and lift weights. Doing this helped Alatar increase his efficiency and even developed his dexterity. Dexterity was related to hand movements and Alatar still hadn't found a way to fully train his dexterity like his other stats so far, so if swinging the sword is what increases his Dexterity then he decided he would swing with all his heart. Finally after another four days of training, needing more time due to work, he had finally reached the full limits of strength, stamina, and agility possible from training.
After finishing the rep set Alatar looked up to see Frost clapping at him before yelling out "you look like a completely new man compared to when you came here. It reminds me of when I was younger training to become a knight of the kingdom. Come follow me to the training dummy, I want to teach you a sword skill of mine." After hearing this Maverick was startled as he got a system alert
[Affinity with Frost has reached 100]
[Quest: Train with Frost]
Frost a retired knight of the Ebonfall Kingdom has grown a great interest in you. Follow him to the training dummy and learn his special sword skill.
Reward: Frost's MoonSlash (Active Skill)
Penalty: Affinity with Frost will decrease by 20
A special sword skill? Was this because he continued to train and almost gained all the stats possible from it? Or was this due to the max affinity reached with Frost, perhaps both? It didn't matter, a unique sword skill was a unique sword skill there was no way in hell he was going to decline this quest. As he walked up to the training dummy he heard Frost call out "watch closely and follow my movements as best you can." As he said this the training sword in Frost hand was slashed in a forward motion with such amazing precision and such intense strength control it looked like it could quite literally slash the moon in half with Frost's full strength. Maverick even noticed that the area in which Frost slashed were all critical points in the human body, with the slash using such intense strength compared to regular slashes coupled with the precision this could kill a regular person in one single motion.
Alatar picked up a wooden training sword and walked over towards a training dummy. He replayed Frosts slash over in his head again and again how did he hold the sword? What angle were his wrists when he finally slashed forward, Alatar hadn't even realized but with being in such a deep state of thought his skill Legendary Magician Meditation had activated. Altar noticed the bright green and different shades of blue surrounding him but he payed no attention to it, the only thing that mattered was this slash. Alatar tightened the grip on his sword, took a single deep breath before putting all the strength he could into a single slash. His wrist flicking in a horizontal direction, he cut right through the training dummy all in a single breath. The loud system notification disrupted Alatars deep state of thought and the Meditation skill deactivated due to this.
[Quest Train with Frost Completed]
Reward: Frost's MoonSlash (Active Skill) Level 1: The unique sword skill of Frost, a retired member of the Ebonfall Knights. This sword slash got its name from Frost slashing his enemy in half during a battle in the moonlight.
Damage increase of 150%, uses 5% of stamina for a full force slash, Cool Down 5 minutes.
Wow…. What an amazing sword skill. It truly deserved the rank of a unique skill. After using the skill for the first time I even got an increase of 2 dexterity points due to the precise hand movements needed for the slash. 'If I continue practicing on the training dummies will the level increase as well as my dexterity' with this though in mind Alatar once again went deep back into meditation. Focus on the movement of the hand, the allocation of strength, too little will result in a shallow hit while too much will result in using too much stamina and not having the strength for another hit directly after. Alatar took a deep breath before once again tightening the grip on the sword and slashing into the dummy.
[Skill Frost's MoonSlash activated]
Once again Alatar slashed the Dummy however this time not enough strength was put into the slash to cut the dummy in half. After using MoonSlash once more, Alatar had reached the 100 dexterity points available by training at level 1. In a little under two weeks by combing weight lifting, cardio, and sword training, Alatar was able to reach the perfect training stats within the Warrior based Training hall. Now all he had left was the Intelligence based Wizard Tower and he would have would have the perfect level 1 character.
Alatar thanked Frost for all his help and even teaching him his sword skill before departing to RedWater's Wizard Tower.
