Chapter 43 - Chapter 43 - Combat Class

"Are you interested in the subject?"

Asked Emi next to me, I think she understood my silence as interest in the subject, to tell you the truth I already know the answer to this theory, but I don't think it would be good to meddle in other people's discoveries, at most an assistance could help.

"Well... I admit that it did intrigue me a bit"

I said as I looked with interest at the teacher.

"If you want, I can introduce you to her"

Emi said as she stood next to me, having no reason to reject I decided to accept Emi's suggestion with a smile.

"I would be extremely grateful if you could do that for me, but I don't know if I will be able to repay that debt, if you have something you want, please don't hesitate to tell me"

I said with a small smile on my face.

"You don't have to worry about that, you saved my mother's life"

Emi said with a smile, hearing Emi's words a small smile came to my face, the two of us had grown quite close compared to before, again I looked at the teacher as an amused thought surrounded my head.

(I wonder if she is the Albert Einstein of this world)

While I was thinking about this Susy took out some papers and started handing them out to the students.

"All right, let's conduct a little test to find out how far the extent of your academic abilities go"

Susy said as soon as she finished handing out the papers.

"You have 1 hour and 30 minutes to finish, whoever finishes first can come deliver the test"

She said sitting down in her chair.

"You can start now"

As soon as she said that everyone turned their sheets over and started taking the test, looking at the questions there was nothing that difficult, I would say half of the questions are at elementary school level while the other half are at high school level, with this in mind I started solving the questions one by one, and as soon as 30 minutes had passed, I had finished my test, i got up from my chair and started walking towards Susy who was looking at me with a surprised face, looking around I see that the others were also looking at me the same way.

"Are you done yet?"

Susy asked, i just nodded and handed over my sheet with the answers.

"All right, you can sit down now"

As soon as she said that I went back to my seat and waited for the others to finish, 10 minutes later Emi was the second to turn in her test and so all the students began to turn in their tests as time went on.

"All right, now that everyone has turned in their tests you can follow the schedule and go to your other classes"

Susy said collecting all the tests, after that we all left the room and walked towards our other classes, as I understand the men will go to the combat class while the women will go to the etiquette class, as soon as we arrived in the room, I saw that there were already several people there, it seems that we were the last ones to arrive, besides, it seems that we are attracting a lot of attention, while looking around I noticed a person raising his hand and waving at me.

"EI REN, HERE"

Eric said as he shouted.

"Dude, can't you be a little less loud?"

I asked as soon as I approached him.

"Hahaha, sorry about that, I was really looking forward to this class, my dream and become a soldier after all"

Eric said as his eyes sparkled, i really don't know how to feel about this class, besides not liking violence very much I've never been in a situation where I had to fight, although I've read many martial arts books, I've never really practiced them, although I have the theory, I don't have the practice, while I was thinking about this a burly man came into the room, we were in which was actually quite similar to a dojo, I figured he was our teacher.

"All right, I can see that everyone has arrived, since I'm not much for theory we will learn by doing, first I want you all to take a weapon from the arsenal that you think best suits you, also, my name is Mark, and from today I will be your combat instructor"

Mark said, after that all the students began to pick up the weapons that best suited their battle style, some picked up bows, others picked up spears, and there were even those who picked up axes.

"I think this will do"

I said as I looked at the sword in my hand, I didn't take the sword because it was better with it or something, I simply took the sword because it seemed the easiest to use.

"Alright, now I want you guys to find a pair"

Mark said, obviously, Eric and I paired up for this training.

"Are you ready Ren? I don't intend to take it easy"

Eric said as he positioned himself for battle, he had also picked up a sword, besides, all the weapons are wooden so we will probably only come out with minor injuries.

(Well, I guess it's time to test my martial arts skills)

I thought as a smile made its way across my face, after that Eric and I began to fight each other, we were both complete amateurs so our fighting wasn't the most lethal or sophisticated, but it was enough for me to know how well I could fight, i knew the theory behind the various martial arts from my old world like Judo, Boxing, Karate, Jiu Jitsu among others, thanks to this while holding a sword I was inventing various new techniques that suited the use of the sword, another thing I could notice while Eric and I were fighting is that compared to the techniques from my world the ones from this world have no finesse at all, in other words, the techniques of this world are very crude and not subtle at all, thanks to this I was doing much better than I would have originally.
