Flint arrives early evening and sees his parents on the veranda having a moment.“Ahem” his parents are startled as they try to act natural.John breaks the awkward moment. “Didn’t know you returned.” He sits straight. Patricia smiles, “How was your lesson dear?” She gets her seat on a chair this time.Flint stares at them and looks away, “It was great. Though I’m yet to make progress.” He goes to the house. John walks to him and pats his back, “Don’t worry son. The first time is always the hardest.” Flint nods and enters the house, he meets Aku sitting on the couch asleep. Flint smiles and heads to the kitchen, he sees 2 bowls on the table and Licia sitting on a chair also sleeping. “She slept trying to wait for me. She hasn’t finished her food, so cute.” He walks up to the Licia and gently woke her up. “I’m home Li.”Licia rubs her eyes, “Welcome home big brother. *Yawns* Dinner is ready.” She looks over at the table. Flint takes a seat beside her, “Were you waiting for me so we eat
Twenny dresses up as she looks at a screen, no one else can see. She chooses an orange dress with a ribbon tying her hair and stuffed animal.“So, I repeat the series of moves to execute Martial Arts Techniques. Techniques are different from skill. Skills use EP techniques use SP. I’ll wing it.” She steps out of her house to see the 2 doing as told. Aku couldn’t hide her smile as Flint gets on his feet, she signals them to follow as she leads them back to the grass plains.The 2 stands before her as she begins teaching holding a stick and a board.“The basics of combat have 3 forms, offense, defense and both. Offense is to deal damage to your opponent.” She strikes the stick forward like a sword. “Defense is to block damage but it can’t be prevented.” She holds her shield up and lowers her center of gravity pretending to block an attack. “Damage can’t be prevented when an attack lands, even if it deals 0 damage it still affects you.” She pokes Flint with a stick. “Not painful but you f
It’s late afternoon at The Barimah’s house, Aku enters followed by Flint both looking exhausted, tired and dirty, covered in brown stuff. Each has a stick strapped to their side, and a leaf shield or just a big leaf on their back. Licia met them at the door, she looks up to them uttering the only words, “You Stink!” the words stab the 2 like knives as they stumble, Licia runs away covering her nose.Flint tries to explain, “Li! Wait, its training!” tears threaten to fall but he holds it in, he turns to look at Aku.Tears flow from Aku’s eyes as she forces not to let them, “2 weeks, 2 weeks that spoiled brat used us like toys. First, it’s 100 swings, 500, 1000, then we fought monsters WITH A STICK! THEN A SHIT BATH!” She throws her sword onto the floor. “THAT DEMON’S TRYING TO KILL US!!!” She yells as a red aura surrounds her but she doesn’t notice it. Flint gives a wry smile as his thoughts, “True making us fight monsters with these things is madness.” He remembers a scene where Aku’s
At the Barimah’s house, the first ray of light touched Flint’s forehead and he woke up. He sits up stares at the table on his opposite, a screen appears before him. He takes a deep breath, “System. I want power and wealth. I want to surpass any and every noble.” Silence.[INFORMATION MAGIC DISPLAY LEVEL: 6……….DC: Power can be granted, but you must be worthy. Wealth can be gathered but it will be useless with the power to gain. You have to choose one, Wealth or Power?Flint: What is this power you speak of?DC: Power to trample the gods.Flint: I…. I choose Power. Even if I am wealthy, it doesn’t mean I can get everything I want. With Power, one way or another I can.DC: Excellent choice.Flint: So, when do I get this Power?DC: When your soul and body becomes strong enough to contain it.Flint: So, how long till my body becomes strong enough?DC: When you reach level 199.Flint: That’s….That’s a long way.DC: Not really, it has been proven to possible to reach level 199 in 10 years i
Twenny looks at the crystal, then at them. “Once this crystal activates, the area will be sealed until all the monsters are defeated. Also, I’m not taking part in this.” She turns and walks away to the edge of the plains leading to a forest. They’re about half a kilometer away and they were warming up as Twenny was walking. Twenny sends EP into the crystal as it glows. “That’s all this thing does. SUMMONING WEAKEST CLASS MONSTERS.” A runic circle forms before Twenny as monsters between level 0 to 4 appear from the circle reaching 30 in numbers. “Go.” The monsters charge at Flint and Aku as they get ready to fight. The monsters ranging from slimes, goblins, orcs, mutated animal monsters to noble monsters of the same class.Akua chooses a great axe from the piles as Flint readies his broadsword as the 10 monsters rush to him and 10 towards Aku. Twenny chose to limit the number of attacking monsters.Flint charges at them as his thoughts, “I’ll be powerful, no matter how long it takes. I
Another day at the Barimah’s house, on this particular day there is a guest waiting for Flint. This guest approaches the house as he greets John getting ready to go to the farm.“Morning Mr. Barimah. Has Flint woken up?” John turns, “Oh Morning Chuck. No, he’s still asleep.” He waves for Chuck to go inside.Chuck enters the house and sees Aku getting down the stairs to get to cleaning, Chuck leans on the wall and strikes his handsome smile at her. “Morning beautiful.” Aku walks past him, “It’s too early to deal with this.” She walks past him. “Also, your zipper is down.”“Huh?” Chuck looks down, “No wonder it felt breezy.” He tries to act cool and closes it. He heads upstairs as his face is red mainly because he’s been holding his breath because of what just happened. He smacks his cheeks, “My 13th attempt was a failure, I’ve got more time to rebuild my image.” He sees Licia about to knock on Flint’s door, “Licia dear, could you not do that.”Licia is confused, “Why not? Big brother
A month of training passed quickly, as they level up and gain strength every time. On the grass plains which has now become a training field made by Twenny to trap EP and condense it into crystals. EP crystals are EXP needed to level up.A trio could be seen challenging an undead centaur but its height is 5 meters and its ribs are scythes that can extend, with 2 massive sword arms with 10 legs. This undead was summoned by Twenny for the trio to challenge to test them, the weakest of them at this point is level 15 as they’re all in C rank.Chuck holds a silver shield with Flint wielding a broadsword, Aku wields twin swords for quick attacks. *SKRRREEEE!!!!!* The undead charges at them at Chuck takes the front, he holds his shield up.“SHIELD MIGHT.” His shield is covered by EP as it expands and hardens, the undead Sword hits his shield *BAN*. “COUNTER!” the undead is sent back as the same force it hit with Chuck is use to push it back.Aku jumps over Chuck as the undead is in a staggere
Twenny walks over clapping for them, “Good job team. You took down a monster a rank above you. “HEAL.” She heals them and even their EP and SP recovers. “I think that’s enough for today. You guys have worked hard.”Chuck slumps down, “Finally over. I feel stronger than usual.” He flexes his muscles as Flint looks at him and shakes his head.Twenny smiles as her thoughts, “The barrier condenses EP crystals here, even if you can’t see it you level up 4 times faster than anyone on this world.” She speaks up. “Let’s head back to the village and celebrate!” she jumps up.Aku follows as she looks at her sword, “These swords are really god, but they feel weaker suddenly.” Flint chuckles, “You leveled up sis. Your level is higher than swords.” Twenny’s face twitches as her thoughts, “The weapons you’re using are Supreme grade. You have to be at least level 200 to wield a weaker supreme grade, even gods need to beg the weapons before they can wield them. Maybe I should
