Arthur and Miss Jade kept slashing at each other."Oh..you've really improved"She gave a comment on Arthur's sword skills.Arthur had indeed improved.This was the tenth day since he moved here.
"That Dash skill I have really is great"
Arthur thought remembering the skill he had unlocked during the last few days.
During this period Arthur had been training with Miss Jade on fist to fist combat and also sword wielding.Although on some few occasions Miss Jade would beat him up really good and then blame it on the boob incident.
Right now Miss Jade and Arthur had taken a break to rest up."I want you to help me get a man off my back, he's been trying to court me ever since I came to the academy and the only way to do it is to participate in his fight".
Arthur was about taken aback since he never knew Miss Jade was someone that could need help.However he didn't understand why his help was needed."Is the man stronger than you?".
"No...I need you because it's his strongest student against mine and since I have a student now he decided to begin the challenge".Arthur looked at Miss Jade and nodded"Ok I'll do it...when is it?.
Miss Jade informed him of the date it would take place and Arthur nodded to it."Now that that's settled time for the next phase of training".
"Next phase?". Arthur's eyes was immediately drawn to Miss Jade.She grabbed hold of him and before he could ask anything they had vanished.
Far away from Ember city into a deep forest standing atop a tree was Miss Jade with Arthur in her grasp.If one was to see the pair they would think Miss Jade was about to spank Arthur due to how she held him.
"Miss Jade,don't tell me..."Arthur had a somewhat shocked expression on his face."This is the outer region of the forest which harbours rank 1 up to rank 4 beasts".
Arthur really couldn't believe what he was hearing.
Was Miss Jade about to make him fight beasts.One had to know fighting beasts were no ordinary task.The minimum rank a person had to be to be able to even take on a rank 1 beast was the 5th stage of the origin rank.
Beasts were very powerful creatures.During the evolution of humanity,animals were also forced to evolve as well if they wanted to survive.Hence beasts were introduced into the frame.
And right now him who was at the 1st stage of the origin rank was about to face off against a beast."Miss Jade are you sure?". Although he was at least 70% sure he was about to face off against a beast he was still calm and didn't exhibit any fear.
Looking at how much suffering he had went through growing up why did he have to fear or panic now that he has the ability to rise to the pinnacle."mhm..I'm going to put you up against a rank 1 beast don't die on me Arthur".
With those last words Miss Jade released her grip on Arthur's outfit letting go of him.She vanished leaving no trace of her presence whiles Arthur on the other hand was falling down at a rapid speed.
"She's a monster"Arthur complained grabbing onto a branch and landing on it.He jumped onto another and kept on doing it until he landed on the ground.
He looked around and could see nothing out of the ordinary.Just tall trees and flowers."
Ever since my perception increased my senses have really had a boost"Arthur inwardly pointed out.The distance he could sense up to had now increased.
Arthur's body unconsciously turned around as he took a step back."I couldn't even sense it's presence....when did it arrive here".
Right Infront of him was a black bear who stood on two legs with it's front limbs slightly bent.What was more scary about the black bear was it's height which span over 5m.
[Quest received]
[Survive against the rank 1 black bear]
[Rewards]
[Punishment]
"Survive?.Does the system mean I can't defeat it"Arthur was now contemplating on what to do.He had studied the system for a while and knew it only gave out survive quests when it knew he stood no chance.
Was the system right now telling him he stood no chance against the rank 1 black bear."I'm going to prove to you system...that I'm not a wimp".He knew nevertheless he had to fight.
Arthur didn't show any panic on his face as he straightened himself up.He assumed a fighting stance and stared directly at the black bear."She even forgot to give me a weapon..does she expect to me to beat it up with my bare hands".
"Here".As if she had read his mind a golden coloured dagger was thrown at him from above to which he immediately grabbed onto spinning it around his hand and griping it tightly.
"Alright".
[Flash Step activated]
Arthur's figure disappeared and reappeared behind the black bear slashing towards his back.The black bear roared furiously and swung it's claw from behind him.
Arthur was however caught off guard by the speed it used against him and was slashed across it's body by the black bears claw.Arthur's body had crashed into a tree breaking it's fall,the tree however was destroyed.
[-10]
"This is great...truly great,this is the power of a rank 1 beast even with my not so high stats".He got up and began running towards the black bear.The black bear roared out and also started running towards him.
Arthur slid under the bear which was running on it's four limbs and used the golden dagger to thrust the belly of the bear.To his surprise the dagger's edge point got chipped off.
He immediately leaped onto the back of the bear after sliding under his body and with full force stabbed the back of the bear.This time around it went through it's defense and out of pain the black bear released it's aura.
[-5]
"Just it's aura!!"
The whitish aura it released was able to push Arthur off it's back.It stood on it's two hind limbs and slashed towards Arthur even though he was afar.Arthurs eyes widened in shock and immediately raised his hands to block.
Infront of him heading straight for his body was an aura claw.Arthur knew of this attack.The early ranked beasts like those in the origin,prime and ascended did not poccess an ability,they however poccessed frightening techniques and one was the claw made of it's aura.
*BOOM*
[-60]
Arthur crushed onto the ground with blood splattering across the ground.He had taken a fatal blow and his health bar had decreased to 25.He needed to do something really quick.
The beast stood there awaiting the human to act.To it,it could feel it had killed off the human who had dared to enter it's territory.
To his disappointment however the human was slowly getting up.
Arthur was partially drenched in blood from head to toe when he stood up.His current appearance however was contrary to the expression he held.
"I will not die....no not here,after everything I went through I wished to have been given a different life and now that I have it I'm not going to let go"
His expression was one of a crazed person.
His eyes had widened and his hair had slightly spiked up with his arms spread wide.
"I will break through my limits and prove to the system...I'm limitless".
