After returning to the dorm, I have been having an internal debate on whether should I perform as the higher-ups want me to do or should I follow my principles.
Not being able to come up with a conclusion for a neverending debate, I started taking more of a professional point of view on the matter and began listing all the pros and cons of the act.
If I think about it from a business point of view since our relationship is based on that, there are actually no pros if I followed my principles and there are not much of cons if I try to follow the deal as well.
In fact, I can actually use a few loopholes and do them both at a moderate level by defeating the students on a decent and proper battle with sportsmanship.
But I'm pretty much sure that is not what the higher-ups want from me but I can simply come up with some excuse like the information was not specific or something like that.
But that excuse is a one-time-only and can only be used to escape the first time but what about the next time? Well, I can only believe that I will be able to come up with something else.
After making the final decision, I decided to go to the pool and start my daily workout routine.
As I was on my way to the pool I started seeing a rare site of people working out earlier in the morning.
Usually, none of these lazy bumps would be out of their beds until it's a time for breakfast except for some people like the gym junkies, but who would have thought that the word 'combat training' even makes these guys restless.
It was really a sight to behold, they were on the fields doing different kinds of exercise and some of these activities don't even look like it's a proper exercise.
Few of them were outright hilarious like there was this one guy in a group of people who were trying to do push up, while the others were at least trying to do something he was laying there humping on the grass.
[Author: Lol, seems like our MC just experience the gym scenario on the day after New year or a week before valentines day]
I'm pretty much sure that the grass doesn't get pregnant even in this world but if it does, seems like this guy is going to be held responsible.
And if that is an actual possibility for something like that to happen then for his relief, he won't be the only one who would be to going through this ordeal, cause many such weird scenes were going around all over the field.
One guy was trying to do sit-ups with a blunt broad sword for his grip but it looked like a stripper pole dancing with a broad sword.
And please, Don't ask me how I know about the strippers, pole dance, and stuff I don't really want to have those painful parts of my life that I have buried 12 feet deep under resurface and haunt me.

[ Isaac: I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean by that?]
[Author: Chill man no problem if don't understand..... *Wink*
So, how much did they tip you?]
[Isaac: around Ten credits or som.... Son of a bitch! ]
Leaving all the uncomfortable matters aside,
Anyway, after seeing all these weirdos, I'm already rethinking my options about doing the workout at the pool today.
But since I have to catch up with those 'chosen' who are been trained by more advanced teachers and I can only hope that something like this isn't actually happening in the pool.
Lucky me, except for a few hunks who were trying to get a girl and a few guys and girls who were having fun hanging out with buddies, the rest of them were normal. So the rest of the morning workout session went without any more crazies.
And since today is the first day of combat classes the morning 'academy' sessions were kept short and as for me, I spent my time at the library in the combat section trying to find a suitable weapon for myself.
Even though I am still not able to read all the books in fantasians language, I can still understand the underlying meaning of the word if it had pictures, and likely these weapon catalogs had the pictorial representation of each weapon and its important parts with a thorough explanation.
There were more than 100 different types of weapons in this world and the moment I saw the number of books on each category of weapons, I suddenly felt my soul slowly leaving my body.
When will I be able to complete reading all these weapons and decided which one to choose?
I half-heartedly started going through the catalog for the weapon section, only after seeing it only a few 20s or some different categories did my soul return to my body.
But then why are there so many categories in this section?
The answer to that question is most of them are just upgraded or downgraded or merged versions of different categories of weapons.
For example this weapon under the sub-categories of swords called 'Urumi'
It looked like a metal whip but it was actually a metal whip-like sword made out of metal, it was curved like a whip but it didn't have any joints like a metal chain whip and was made in a complete mold like a sword but had the flexible of a metal whip.
It was one hell of a weapon but for a novice like me, the weapon was nothing but hell itself. Without having a proper teacher and precautions, just trying to swing the weapon may cause serious injury and sometimes it may even lead to death.
So leaving all the exotic weapons aside I decided to choose one weapon from a different category.
The choice was mostly based on their reach and my requirements, while going through them 7 weapons firmly caught my attention,
-» The first one was a spear, which has to be the same height as its user, and instead pointed edge the end had a sharp short blade.
-» The second one was a thin frame, double hand, single-edged straight sword which looked like the Ninjutsu swords used by ninjas in Japan.
-» The third one was a pair of single edge short axes which can be used for both close-range combat and long-range combat.
-» The fourth one was a kusarigama but this had a bigger single hand sickle on one end while a kunai at the size of a short sword on another end and instead of a metal chain the entire weapon was connected by a grip coated metal rope which had an inch thickness and was rolled on a device that helps the user to control and adjust the length of rope.
[ Author: So it's basically Akali's weapon but an upgraded version (or) an Akali x Scorpion sci-fi version. ]
-» The fifth one was a hidden assassin blade which can also be used as a grappling gun.
[Author: Man, now it's assassin's creed x spider man]
-» The sixth one was a gauntlet that has both a knuckle breaker and three short claws like those of a feline.
-» The last one was a Gun, Yeah it was a magic sci-fi gun which was the best and but was also the worst of them all because every one of its shots may cost an arm or a leg but since I was a gun fantastic I can not give up on it. The weapon was small, slim, and had built like a revolver but instead of bullets, it needed magic crystals to shoot.
And, I have a feeling that it will also be my one and only signature weapon that I will be using in the future.
After picking all these weapons out of the catalog now I'm in a real dilemma of selecting only one among the seven.
Well, six in a true sense because I can't afford the last, actually just Five in a...., not it's just four because the Akal.. *Ahem* kusarigama also requires high-level materials, a 'Magic Mechanic', and other stuff.
So I am pretty sure that the 'academy' won't provide me with such weapons and especially for a cripple like me.
And yes, speaking of cripple as soon as I'm able to understand the language of fantasia, I must research my body's condition and what is the term cripple really, and is there an actual way to cure it?
But for now, I must actually overcome the current dilemma and choose one among these 4 weapons.
