Chereads / Blood Warlock in Danmachi / Chapter 3 - Getting acquainted and basic Training

Chapter 3 - Getting acquainted and basic Training

Folksvangr more like Volkswagen thought Sanguinius to himself with a smirk while in a carriage to the Freya estate, sitting opposite to him Freya gives him a weird look but doesn't mention it 

After a short journey from the adventures Guild headquarters to the centre of the business district they arrive at the Freya Familia home seeing a massive mansion with solemn structures similar to a temple, the mansion covering a large area while being surrounded by four large walls to protect from attackers and a garden big enough to hold thousands of people

Witnessing the mansion for the first time Sanguinius thought to himself that this really captures the Freya Familia's wealth and power

Walking inside the beautiful mansion Freya introduces him to her Familia telling him that the person that he thought was her bodyguard was actually her Familia's captain 

"This my Familia's vice captain Allen fromel when ottar is not available you should listen to him" Introduced Freya, while Allen is giving Sanguinius a viscous glare as he only seems him as another obstacle to attain Freya's love for himself 

"And these are my Familia's executives Hogni Ragnar and Hedin Selland along with the Gulliver brothers" added Freya with the Gulliver brothers glaring at Sanguinius with jealous stares because of Freya's special treatment with only the dark elf Hogni and the elf Hedin not outright disliking him right away 

After the introductions of the Familia's most important members Freya had somebody attend to Sanguinius and lead him to his new private room something not every member gets from the start

Laying down on his new comfortable bed Sanguinius stares at the celling reminiscing about the days events and slowly but surely falls asleep

--------

Within a dark expanse of nothingness awakens a crimson soul hesitantly moving before jumping into a frantic sprint trying to find something but seeing nothing, feeling nothing and moving nowhere 

After some time the soul stops trying to make progress and stands still and looks at itself seeing its crimson form slowly being devoured by the Void before submerging fully never to wake up

"Huff" "huff" "huff" Sanguinius woke in a panic grasping for air, slowly standing up from his bed he grabs a cup of water and drinks it, calming down slightly but still disturbed by his nightmare

"Is that what happened before my Transmigration if so I'm glad I barely remember it and feel even luckier that I survived" he thought to himself while on his way to folkvangr´s massive courtyard where the Familia members train and spar with each other, one of the main reason for Freya's dominance in Orario

There are almost no lv 1 adventures In the Freya Familia even though there are thousands of them because of the Familia's immense discipline to constantly improve themselves

As a new member he has to first go through some basic training before going in the dungeon to minimize the chances of him dying prematurely 

Reaching the garden Sanguinius locks eyes with a short man, not short enough to be a Pallum but also not tall enough to be a human a half Pallum, the man possesses navy blue hair and blue eyes while wearing a black Freya Familia uniform instead of the usual white 

"Oh so your the new member, today I will be your assigned trainer, remember just because you have some semblance of talent doesn't mean anything when your dead" says the man with a slight tone of arrogance but also seriousness as he doesn't want to disappoint his goddess 

"You can call me teacher Van while were training, understood!!" 

"Sir yes Sir!!" says Sanguinius with enthusiasm being reminded of his mandatory military service back home

After getting acquainted with each other Van wastes no time and throws a sword at Sanguinius ready to assess his strength and skill right away

They start clashing blades, Van feels surprised by his physical strength for a mere lv 1 thinking he has some potential but being disappointed at his obvious lack of any swordsmanship skills or even fighting experience 

They switch weapons Sanguinius now wielding a spear with a slightly better performance but still quite average, they keep this up for a while until Van wiredraws his weapon saying "your strong for a lv 1 but we need to work on your technique we wont be able to do much in 1 day but it should be enough to have you not make obvious mistakes while your in the dungeon"

Following that Sanguinius decides to work on his spear skills as it should be the best weapon for him and should allow him to keep a safe distance from the monsters

For the next 6 hours Van relentlessly trains Sanguinius pushing him constantly to the brink leading to him improving significantly more but at the cost of his body being battered and filled with bruises 

Surprised at his fast improvement Sanguinius attributes it to his void touched trait saying that he has boundless potential and his body being recreated by the void

" Follow me lets take you to the Andhrímnir cause you look pretty beat up" spoke Van while looking at the exhausted Sanguinius not caring that he was the main cause of his bruises

Following Van leads Sanguinius to the medical ward of the Freya Familia where the most healers and Herbalist are gathered 

After finding a healer he sits down on a bed and lets the healer work their magic feeling his bruises and pain quickly vanish but still needing a good night of sleep for a full recovery

Later on after his mandatory training Sanguinius decides to walk around Orario to enjoy the customs of another world 

walking around the streets of Orario with a barbeque in hand of some creature he never heard of he sees a small rat squirming around in a barrel trying to find some food deciding to try something he closes his eyes and tries to feel the blood running through the creature after finding it he closes his hand abruptly causing the rat to explode from the inside out

Surprised by the explosion he leaves quickly before somebody sees him 

-------

a little while later he left Orario to test his new powers in a more Private place which would be the forest he originally spawned in 

Walking to the exact spot he transmigrated he feels a small sense of spatial disturbance and stretches out his hand to open a tear in space and throws a small rock inside, the rock being instantly shredded by the unstable spatial fluctuations 

Trying again this time trying to keep it stable he throws a another rock inside but this one doesn't get destroyed as fast but inevitably the same result happens 

For the next couple of hours he tries to keep a tear in space stable so that he can put in something and not have it destroyed which eventually works after getting a hang of it 

"Hell Yea, game inventory acquired" exclaimed Sanguinius with excitement in his voice

Walking deeper in the Forest he starts hunting down some small game with his blood manipulation trying to get more familiar with using it, taking breaks in between to replenish his magic reserves

Storing some blood in his space pocket he remarks that creating blood is a lot more difficult and magic consuming than just manipulation while controlling the blood of a living being is harder than controlling blood that's sitting out in the open 

Sensing a presence behind him he quickly turns around and points his spear that he brought with him at the unknown enemy from the shadows jumps out a lone wolf with a bloodthirsty expression trying to bite his neck 

Quickly making some distance and not letting the wolf get close using the spear he tries to control its blood but having more difficulty than the small game he hunted before but still easily supressing it as a normal animal cant compare to a human with a Falna

The wolf feeling its blood flow backwards hesitates to attack again cause of its sudden weakness but Sanguinius not wasting the chance uses the opening to launch a stab using the spear piercing the wolfs body and killing it

"well that wasn't really fair but at least I can try my new skill now" thought Sanguinius to himself while observing the power difference between a lv 1 and a lv 0 creature

Walking closer to the wolfs corpse he stabs it again to make sure its dead and presses his hand against its body and activates blood devour, suddenly all the blood within the wolfs body get absorbed by his hand invigorating him and making him feel a slight improvement but nothing substantial 

"In the long term this should be very helpful but right now its nothing too important" thought Sanguinius to himself

looking at the sky and seeing it get dark he decides to go back to Folksvangr

--------

Coming back to the mansion he hears a small whisper behind him turning around he sees the goddess Freya in a provocative night gown signalling him to her room 

Following inside she says "I don't usually stay in Folksvangr but just for you il make an exception"

"I heard you were training pretty hard with Van today let me update your status before you go into the Dungeon tomorrow" said with a smirk excited at seeing his progress 

Standing with his back facing his goddess she drops a drop of blood on his back making his status appear once again and copying it to a piece of parchment the status showing the following
