Daiksuke is walking to the Fighter Hall nearby to increase his rank. His current rank is E out of an S-F System, meaning he is second to last. On his way, he noticed a weapon shop. 'I wish this system had a shop. Then I wouldn't have to buy things here.' Just then, a screen pops up.
The Sword Dealer: You can buy items here with the gold you get from killing monsters.
'Do I only have to think about things for me to unlock them? I'm starting to think this thing is alive.' As he thinks of this, a screen appears.
'That settles it. It is alive.' He looks through the shop and notices it only has swords, shields, and armor. 'Why does it not have other weapons?'
'That's a limitation, but there are many types of swords, so it's not too bad.' He notices that the shop already has five gold from the spider he killed before. Quickly he scans the shop for something he can buy. There were three swords he could purchase. All three were one-handed swords and gave different stats. The first gave 1 to strength and 1 to speed. The second gave 2 to strength, and the third gave 2 to speed. He had enough to buy two and was going to as he needed more swords to throw.
Daiksuke bought two of the first swords costing him four gold. Then equipped them his original swords only, giving him 1 strength each. His stats were as follows.
Speed:9
Strength:8
Defense:6
Health:110/110
Mana:50/50
He decides he is ready to go to the Fighter hall now. At the Fighter hall, he walks up to the attendant. "Can I have a rank exam?" He asked. The attendant surveys him and replies. "Yes, is this your first time?" She says with a smile. "No." She quickly says. "Well then, what is your ID name?" Startled, he replies. "My name is Daiksuke Tsuji." She finds his ID and tells him to go into the test room. Daiksuke remembers from last time and enters the rank exam room.
It is an all-white room with tiled floors, and there is a person in a black suit standing next to a machine. Daiksuke askes, "Can we start?" But instead of replying, the man rushes at him with a sword. Quickly drawing his swords off his back, he blocks and pushes the man back. The man is about to dash in again, but before he does, Daiksuke appears in front of him. The man blocks it and counters by slashing his arm, but the armor blocks it. Daiksuke cheks his stats.
Speed:6
Strength:5
Defense:2
Health:100/100
Mana:50/50
Although he lacks stats, he has much more experience with the sword. Daiksuke will ask him about that later, but he needs to fight. "I guess I will get serious." He says while he activates dash and attacks the man with a flurry of attacks. He deals with the attacks pretty well, but when the man tries to counter them, he gets slashed by Daiksuke on his shoulder. The man's attack hits through his armor but doesn't hurt him.
Daiksuke's Health:110/110
The Man's Health:80/100
The man backs away and speaks. "You finished your rank is High-D tier." With a smile, Daiksuke says, "Thank you, but can you teach me how to use the sword?" The man says back sternly, "No, you use duel blades. My martial art does not fit you. My name is Ban. I do, however, know someone that does duel blade. Give me your number, and I will send you his address. Tell him I sent you. I will let him know in advance." Daiksuke gives him his number and says, "Thank you."
'I should head to the teacher right now.' Daiksuke decides and sprints to the place Ban sent him.
