《Spartan》Chapter 10: Adrenaline Junkie
Advertisement
I'm rewriting this entire chapter, I ask all of you who previously read the last chapter 10 to forget that it ever happened. I've seriously fucked up and I apologise, I posted it in a kinda heat of the moment thing and after I read through it I wanted to slap myself across the face.
I've probably lost a lot of readers thanks to that blunder and I don't blame them for leaving, I just hope I can learn from that mistake.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Royal Rosenhime library, a place of untold knowledge and wisdom. Within its leathery books lay legendary tales of adventure, instructions for the most advanced magic and descriptions of monsters that could give a dragon nightmares.
Within this library sat a tall muscular boy, he was reading a well known fictional tale of a man who defeated a dragon with his bare hands.
The boy silently scanned his eyes over the pages, until he finally reached the last page and finished the epic tale. He closed the book with a snap, leaned over his chair and started writing on a creased piece of paper.
Thor's to do list:
Beat the stuffing out of a dragon with bare hands
2. Learn martial arts of this world
3. Find Brono and break his jaw
4. Destroy demon lord/king
5. Get a pet dog
6. Find more goals
Thor folded up the paper and placed it in his pants pocket. Thor's to do list didn't necessarily have an order for the goals, he just wrote them down randomly and whenever he saw or read something he wanted to try. In Thor's past soldier training he was always told to make personal goals, if he didn't he might lose all motivation for the mission, or so he was warned.
Thor looked across the huge library and through one of the larger windows, he realised that the sun had started to drop. He assumed it was mid day.

Four weeks had gone by in a flash for Thor, he loved training so the whole thing was like a seventh heaven for him. So far he had managed to fight continuously with his gargantuan swords for four hours straight, he had also gotten better at manipulating his magic so he could now cover his swords in a thin layer of each.
Thor put his books back where he found them and started to make his way back to the main courtyard, when he arrived he saw the rest of the class gathered around captain Cross and Sapphire, listening to them talking about something.
Sapphire: "Oh hey Thor! Come over here, we have some exiting news!"
It had taken a while, but Sapphire had finally started talking to Thor, and she talked to him whenever she could. Thor didn't particularly mind though because she did help him out with his magic a bit.
Thor shrugged and walked over to the group, though when he reached them the students split like the Red Sea, and Thor walked through them like he was Moses.
Recently the students had become quite afraid of Thor, probably due to Thor's brutal treatment during sparring. But there was one student who did not move out of Thor's way.
Jake: "Hey man, just wait until you hear this."
Jake told Thor as he reached him, Thor looked back at Sapphire and captain Cross curiously.
Cpt Cross: "Okay okay, calm down maggots. I am here to tell you that early tomorrow, we will be training in the great Monstrous Dungeon with a small troop of veteran soldiers to watch our backs."
A few students cheered at the coming adventure, whereas others went silent, afraid of what was announced.
Thor was silently ecstatic, it had been a long time since he had been in a real fight. He was a living weapon made for the sole purpose of battle after all, wether it was implanted within him or it was apart of his very nature, Thor was an adrenaline junkie.

He was in love with the feeling he got when his life was at stake, he loved the Amazon so much because of the constant threat of death he had, and he loved this new world because it was based so much on ones strength and steel.
In this world, Thor was in his element.
Cpt Cross: "But for today, we will be training your asses off."
Everyone let out an agonising groan at this statement, but Thor just armoured up, grabbed his swords and started swinging.
Every slash, kick and punch was filled with Thor's thirst for battle, the students who saw him would later tell the others that it was like a 'Dance of death'.
*Later that night
Thor was lying down in his own personal bed, he thought about the coming battles and deadly situations ahead, and couldn't help but smile.
He was often told by his military instructors that a real soldier, smiles in the face of death. As he was fondly reminiscing of his past, sleep slowly grabbed ahold of him.
Thor's not-so-pleasant nightmare was suddenly interrupted by the sound of an angry old man.
Cpt Cross: "GET THE FUCK UP YA BUNCH O' LIZARDIAN SHIT"
Lizardain shit? I guess we were promoted, Thor thought to himself as he got dressed. Then he pushed open the door and walked over to the dining hall.
When he was arrived he was greeted by a smiling Akane and Sapphire, but when the two saw each other smiling at Thor their smiles quickly turned into a snarl. Like a lioness protecting their spoils of the hunt.
Thor seated himself at one of the seats across from Sapphire, which caused her to give Akane a smug look. To which Akane got up from her seat and walked over to Thor, seating herself beside him.
Akane: "H-hey Thor, you exited for the dungeon?"
Thor responded with a grunt, and went back to eating his food. He was too focused on the coming battle to fret over women. But after seeing Akane's sad look he sighed and responded.
Thor: "Yeah, you two be careful. Anything can happen in a fight."
Akane: "You talk like you've got a lot of experience in fights to the death, hehe."
Thor turned at Akane and looked at her in silence, which caused her laughter to quickly die off. Sapphire raised an eyebrow at this.
Sapphire: "Fighting seems rather rare in your world, tell me Thor, how do you have so much expertise in it then?"
At Sapphires question the entire class rushed over to Thor's bench, getting over their fear due to their eagerness to hear the his answer.
Thor: "Fine, I'll answer it."
At this everybody went completely silent, wanting to know the secret to Thor's overwhelming strength.
Thor: "I was a soldier."
There was an awkward silence that seemed to drench the room, everybody looked at Thor.
"Bullshit, that's it?"
"A soldier? For how long?"
"What? Huh? Eh?"
Thor was instantly bombarded with questions about his soldier life and if he was single, he couldn't make out who asked the latter.
With all the mayhem Thor did the only thing that came to his mind at the time, he silently raised a fist.
And brought it smashing down onto his bench, turning the entire thing into splinters with a huge BANG.
Everybody went completely silent, shocked at what Thor just did.
Cpt Cross: "Well I sure hope that wasn't expensive, anyway everybody meet at the gates. It's time for some dungeon crawling."
Captain Cross who seemed to appear out of nowhere suddenly interrupted the silence, after hearing the order the class went to gather their essentials and meet at the designated location.

But I'm back, and I hope I don't disappoint you all again!
