Chereads / Reincarnated as the Protector / Chapter 2 - Courage

Chapter 2 - Courage

"Well? Who is he?"

"What do you mean?"

"Who is Tyr, what's he's personality like? is his training hard?"

"You'll learn soon kid, now be quiet, i want to think about something"

After walking for about five minutes, we have arrived in front of massive metal doors, which looked ancient. The old woman knocked on the door, and the one who opened it was a man standing at about 7 feet tall.

"What is it Urd?"

"Here, train this kid, he needs to become the protector. Just don't be too rough on him"

"Yes, ma'am"

After the man looked at the woman walking away he asked me.

"So, who are you?"

"My name's Eien, what about you?"

"You don't know me? well that's weird, Name's Tyr, god of war, and righteousness"

"So what will you teach me?"

"First come inside, there's a few rules we have to set first"

As i enter his room i notice a massive ring in the middle, and weapon racks on the sides. Weapons raging from simple sticks, to large spears. There was also space on the left with two couches, and a table, in between them.

"Sit, want some tea?"

"Yes, i would love to"

"So tell me, which weapons do you know how to use?"

"Well, i know how to shoot, and i used a long staff, as well as a katana"

"Then as soon as you drink the tea, let's get started. I want to see your skills"

As i start drinking the tea, i notice that it tastes a little weird, as if numbing my tongue

'It's a strong pain relieving drug master'

As soon as i hear these words i almost spit my drink out, and start thinking

What do you mean it's a pain relieving drug, does he want to beat me to near death or something?

'Well, he is the god of war, and he has to teach you, so i think he does'

As soon as i finish drinking my tea i notice a system notification.

[Ingested Serentea Essence, User will not feel pain for the next hour]

"So? did you finish drinking it?"

"Yes, i did. But why did you give me that drug?"

"Because you will need it to not lose your mind"

I look at Tyr with determination in my eyes

"Well, can we start then?"

I notice a sword beneath my feet an her Tyr say

"Show me what you can do"

I pick up the sword and hold it in it's sheath, before unsheathing it an aiming straight at Tyr's neck. After a while I notice that Tyr stopped the finger with his finger, after which he said

"Not bad. Good speed, great strength, but you're not determined to kill me. Why is that?"

"I just don't want to see anymore blood. I have killed enough people in my live, and I don't want to see anyone else dead"

As I was saying these words, Tyr looked at me with dissapointment in his eyes as if trying to tell me that I shouldn't be in front him

"I'm really dissapointed in you. I don't think you should be my disciple"

"If being your disciple means that I have to kill more people. Then I don't want it"

After saying these words i notice that Tyr stares at me with dissapointment in his eyes, as if he wanted to tell me i'm a disgrace to the title of Protector

"I can still prove something else to you. As a protector i'm supposed to protect, rather than kill right? Then let me fight using a non lethal weapon like a staff"

After hearing these words Tyr looked at me with curiousity in his eyes and said to me

"You know that staffs, and spears are the hardest weapons to master right? It's easy in the beggining, but it gets harder later on"

"I don't care, i just want to protect those who will be dear to me. Now give me a staff, and let me start training using it"

Tyr looked at me as if looking at a crazy person, and started laughing loudly

"Haha, you sure are funny kid. Here take it, show me what you can do with it"

After that Tyr threw a long staff towards me. As i was picking it up i noticed strange engravings on it which looked like an old mural telling a story

What is this staff i started wondering, and checked the staff with my system

Type: Staff

Name: Gridavolr

Abilities: Indestructible (Lvl Max), Elysian Touch (Lvl Max)

History: Staff lended to Thor by the giantess Gridr. Thor used this staff to cross the river Vimur

"Did Thor use it?"

"Yes, how did you know?"

Tyr asked me with curiosity in his eyes

"Well, i sort of have special eyes that allow me to see more than other" I said while trying to not show Tyr that i'm lying

"Well that's new, You're the second one who can see it"

Tyr said in a low tone wondering if i have the same abilities as other deity

"Anyways, let's start this spar, show me what you can do"

After hearing these words i take on a battle stance, and aim my staff towards Tyr's stomach, and noticing that he blocked it easily i take a step back and then aim for his knees. Tyr again blocking it easily

"Not bad, but you don't know how to use it well, but at least you don't hesitate anymore" Tyr said these words while avoiding my attacks easily. After that Tyr punched me in the stomach with incredible strength

As the hit was about to land i tried to deflect his hit with the staff, but he still hit me in my kidney.

"Fuck... It hurts as hell." I say while dropping on my knees

"No worries kid, you won't die. You can't die here"

Tyr said while smiling at me. After which he grabbed my hand and helped me to stand up

"You have great battle sense, too bad we can only teach you the basics, and can't train your body"

As i was standing up i noticed that my wound healed almost instantly, as i was seeing this Tyr started talking to me again

"Let's continue, you can only stay here for a month, and i will teach you for three hours a day"

As i hear this words i take on my battle stance again and start fighting

*After 3 hours*

"Good job kid, you're improving fast"

"Thanks, but can you please let me go now? I don't want to be tortured by you anymore"

"Yeah, go on, three hours have passed already, and you're about to start your next lesson"

After hearing those words i smile and stand up

"Finally, i won't be tortured by you anymore. See you tommorow, you Giant asshole, and don't tortue me tommorow"

As i start walking out of Tyr's room i notice that he's laughing because it's the first time someone has given him such a nickname

"See you tommorow you little bastard"

As i leave Tyr's room i notice that Urd was sitting there waiting for me, to show me the next lesson i will be having

"You're finally out. Did he beat you up good?" Urd said while laughing lightly

"That bastard sure did" I said while laughing as well

"Anyways what will be my next lesson?"

"You will meet with Freyr, he will teach you how to bring peace to others"

"Uh, and what does that mean?"

I look at Urd concerned that i might be beaten up again, but still smiling because i want to learn new things

"Freyr is god of peace, prosperity, and kingship. He will teach you how to take care of those you will need to protect"

As i hear those words i stop talking and start thinking, wondering what skills i might learn this time. In the middle of my thinking i hear a ping from my system notifying me about something
