As he entered the room, he saw a clear platform for a ring but with no ropes across its edge. Also, there were weapons littered across the walls and it seemed that another door in the room lead into an actual classroom, with warm, golden lights and browned walling. In front of this platform, were a crowd of students who had all arrived for the beginning of the lesson.
"Greetings, Brandyn. I see that you have gained some new power. I respect you for that." The teacher said, with a long-sleeve, dri-fit sports shirt on.
He was bald and had a long, metal staff that he wielded and leaned on while standing. He was around 6'4 and possessed quite the honourable physique. He weighed around 235lbs. with a very large chest and broad, bulging shoulders.
"T-thank you.." Brandyn said with a slight tone of confusion, walking into the classroom.
As he heard this, he was reminded of his boss at Brandy's corner, which made him uncontrollably smile out of delight.
"Here we are! Our little team! For now, this'll be your home. You will have different teachers come in and talk to you about the various subjects but today, I thought that we should start with something fun."
"I'm sure you all know who I am. My name is Sir Leopold Maximilian. I am a former member of the National Guard of Helios, specifically, the Land Army. Of course, I am now 54 so I can't exactly keep up that career and I've decided to help the youth on the same journey I was once on.
"Oh wow! He was part of the National Guard? He must be strong then, maybe one of the strongest at the school. I wonder why he'd try and be teacher of class F-1, though. We're not exactly the most promising group of students." Brandyn thought as he listened to the man.
"Today, you will all be choosing your first weapon to train with in my class. There are many to choose from but I recommend that you choose one that helps aid the perks of your abilities. Throughout the following classes, you can change your mind on the weapon you'd like to choose but I'll give you 30 minutes to choose now. Begin." He demanded, tapping his staff on the white platform before turning for the students to make their choice.
[NEW QUEST!]
[Quest: Find a Weapon]
[Find a weapon within the 30 minute time limit.]
[Rewards: 50XP]
"50XP just for that? Do I even have to make a sophisticated choice or can I just pick at random? So many questions.." He analysed, walking across the wooden walls of this dojo-like room to try and find his weapon.
"Well, I'm primarily a striker and I prefer close-quarters combat. It does fit me to have some form of close range weapon or a gauntlet? No, gauntlets will slow my punching speed. I'll check these daggers."
Across the wall, there were several weapons and some had some intriguing descriptions on it. Next to one of the longer daggers, there was a clear sign with black text engraved on it.
'From the battle of Beikyo. A weapon used by the enemy soldiers at the frontlines of the war. Used for close range combat and also as a projectile. Nicknamed the 'pin dagger''
The blade was a dark, shiny black with two sharp edges and an incredibly sharp tip. It's handle was wrapped up to allow humans to wield the dagger more easily. It was around the length of someone's forearm, and it was very sharp.
However, Brandyn was far more captivated by the dagger beside it.
'Medieval kunai. Longer blade and shorter handle than the ancient kunai.'
"This is it. I think we can only use these wooden models for the daggers? Well, it makes sense." He said to himself, grabbing the wooden replica of the weapon.
Soon, 30 minutes came and passed, and the students had all gathered to here more information from their new teacher.
[Quest Complete!]
[+50XP]
"45XP to Level 4. That should be easy enough." He thought to himself, looking back up to watch his teacher.
"Okay, great. Now, before you all begin your practice session, I would like one of you to try and get up and spar me. I would recommend that you spar me only if you have had some form of experience with your weapon before the fight."
The class was silent for a time but, eventually, someone stepped up to the plate to battle.
He was around 6'1 and had a similar build to Botan, except it was more inflated. He had quite the large stomach but he also made up for that in much larger muscles than normal. As he got up onto the platform, he was equipped with some large, black gauntlets.
"Alright, finally. Someone who is brave. Okay, perfect, let's begin."
*whoosh*
He swivelled his large, heavy staff and kept the staff in a position where some of the staff ran up his arms.
