《World War, The Beginning》Chapter 6: Training 101
Advertisement
‘young hero, its time for you to go for training’
that voice was none other than the steward, he was a lifesaver if I didn’t go for training maybe the king would probably not favor me much. With dead tired body, I assemble at the front along with the two prominent heroes. At the back were the Royal Guards, after morning roll call by the captain we then proceed to our own instructor.
Glancing around it seems my own private tutor was not there, is he being punished or something, serve him right then but I didn’t really want him to be punished. Day dreaming a bit about my instructor a familiar voice was heard at my rear with a loud smack to my back. ’BAMM!, oww that hurts’ turning around it was none other than the so call guardian of mine the black American beauty. ‘hye there hero’ ‘oh its you and what are you doing here’ ‘well someone instructor has been place elsewhere due to that certain someone and now its my responsibility of teaching that certain someone’ she said that while showing a sarcastic face and that really annoy me and its not my fault to be exact. Against this woman, I don’t really know what are her clear attention is but might as well know her name first,
‘if you are here as my new instructor, I should at least know your name right’
‘hmm then just call me Bra’
‘Bra? Is that really your name?’
‘no need to know things that are unimportant, Bra seems ok right’
like I thought so she just made that name up and why do I have to deal with this kind of annoyance, even with that massive balloons bouncing around if her personality was that annoying I could not even stay one more day with her.
‘fine then, instructor Bra what should I train on’
‘ouh obedient it seems, thought you were more rebellious anyway we are moving out we are not going train here, it seems this place doesn’t suit you and lose the instructor just call me Bra’
‘fine then so where are we going’ by replying with her gesture it seems she want me to follow her. Before moving out, I peek a glance toward Miranda it seems her progress was astounding but her eyes wasn’t as bright as I have seen her before on the other hand that Aaron seems to be in high-spirited. As I follow Bra, she then ride on a brownish steed and at her side was a black horse, it seems like I would be riding separately with her.
Awkwardly riding on the horse, it felt a little bit weird it must be because of this is the first time holding the rein. Without delay we gallop through the plains heading to a forest near the castle, with Bra guidance, I manage to ride the horse without any difficulty. Then we arrived at the outskirt of the dense forest, based on the map its called Hetakorn Forest. Its nested a few species of monsters but not very dangerous. After getting off the horse, Bra immediately drag me into the forest plowing through the thick bushes we then arrive at a large grounded area.
Then I notice something far ahead, a blackish boar grinding its tusk by the tree. ‘hero, catch!’ caught off guard Bra throw me a steel sword, I managed to grab it by the hilt.
‘hey that was dangerous’
‘well it would be a lot dangerous after this’

‘eh?’
she then throw a stone to the boar hitting it alerting it of our presence. She then faced me while saying
‘training 101, defeat the boar!’
‘what??’
‘good luck then’
after that she disappear while leaping through the air. She probably hiding on top of a tree branch, but no matter I don’t think she will be saving me until I was one step closer to death. Nevermind that, how am I going to fight this freaking boar. It wasn’t as large as the monster boar I faced but it was still dangerous.
Holding the sword high, he try to recall what to do during this situation based on action and medieval fantasy movie he has seen. As the boar charges toward him, he really was in a predicament right now. Swinging the sword would not be good for him based on comparing the speed of his swing and the incoming charge it would be a fatal outcome if he carelessly swing. Without any option, he resort to one thing only, rather than running away he would like to try to face this challenge. Holding the sword with both of his hand, he held it up high above his head ready to swing it downward. ‘come you fucking pig!’ with eyes glowing with determination he was ready to face the boar full headed. With the boar gaining speed charging toward Red, he wait as patient as he can waiting for the right moment. Sweats were dripping down his face as he waits for the boar. Nerves was building up as he stare at the boar that was intently trying to kill him. This never before situation has never occur in his life, even in his original world he never been in situation where he need to exert force. With this first time or in actually the second time he was in this dire situation, he can actually be a little bit calm regarding it. then he thought something ‘ how the hell can I think about all of this in mere seconds?’ with the boar closing in ready to collide, he managed to calm himself and ready to strike it down. The boar then came at the range where he should strike but to his dismay, even though his mind was calm sadly his body was stiffen, due to the late reaction the boar manage to strike his leg before he instantly dive sideways and slash it using the momentum of the fall cutting the boar’s body into two.
After the collision, Red groan in pain due to the injury at his leg. Fidgeting in pain at the side of the boar corpse, he could only grit his teeth enduring the pain.
‘yaa Bra, my leg is busted here’
‘ara ara, dear hero that wasn’t bad for your first time but still getting stiffen by that we need to cure that wont we huhu’
just looking at her make the pain goes away but not due to her sexy features but her annoyance, even annoyance could lose the pain.
‘yeah sure, how about you help me heal this injured leg first then’
‘ouh huhu I forgot about that let me see then’ Bra then went near me with her cleavages clearly seen and it jiggles as each step taken. Huh the agony of my own lust I’m really am weak to those soft mountains. After reaching me she then put her hand above my injured leg and chant a spell that resemble a heal spell. What bothers me is that I understand and already memorize the incantation for that spell. Then a pop up message open.

YOU HAVE LEARN THE SPELL LESSER HEAL LV1
It seems like I already learn a new spell, I guess lesser heal is one of those support magic. If it’s this easy to learn spell then I would need to learn a lot more after this. After taking a break, Bra continue the in the face of death training, after fighting a few more boars probably around 8 more I was now able to handle them quite easily and no less no damage taken after the fourth boar. What surprised me after finishing the third boar I level up to level 2 and after the last one I rosed to level 3. The status point has not been distributed I guess I will distribute it after some reading first.
Noon then comes, Bra invite lunch at her place but I have to refuse I need to continue reading the book back at the library. She says I’m a cheeky brat for refusing a gorgeous lady invitation to her house. Even I was bewildered by my decision, if it were the real me I would gone there with no excuses. Seeing her in casual clothing would be a bliss, I guess my love for life is stronger than my love for sexy women. Sighing at my own weakness, I hastily rode the horse back to the royal library. Before going straight to my destination, I stop by a local restaurant ordering a take out. I heard from the steward that this place has good oriental cuisine. I bought a few more for the Librarian.
Entering the library, again a scene just like before the Librarian girl was lying down in front of the reception desk, my guess was she’s hungry again. Hungry until she collapse, I don’t understand why she doesn’t get out and bought her own food. Nevertheless, I still bought it for her,
‘yaa onna wake up I bring food’
hearing the word food, her eyes open up and shined brightly, ahh this girl is lazy as a sloth. After lunch, I went to hit the books. While reading, the librarian girl stares at me, not bother by her at first I then ask her ‘is there any problem?’ she just slowly shake her head,
‘huh~ then so what’s your problem don’t you have any work to do?’
‘no I don’t’
I guess I should let her be then,
’ouh yeah whats your name it would be troubling if I call you onna ony’
‘ahh my name is Olivia nice to meet you’
‘ahh nice to meet you too, then I will continue reading the books’
‘okayy’
she reply with a smile on her face. I don’t get this girl. Spending the hours from noon till the late of night, Red manages to read a lot of books. Somehow after reading the last book for the night, he managed to obtain a few spells, but it was still insufficient for him to go on to battle. Walking toward the door I spotted Olivia sleeping at the reception desk. How pitiful this girl is, I’m starting to get sorry for her. Without knowing it I brought her to my room carrying her while she was sleeping. Laying her on my bed, I removed her glasses and after seeing her bare face, her pale white skin was really beautiful under those round glasses. It’s a pity that she do not know how beautiful she is, after putting her glasses aside I wipe her face with a moist towel, it seems its been a while since she clean her face.
After taking care of her, Red then took his time of cleaning himself at the royal bath house. Living up to its name it was luxurious and large. While soaking himself in the warm water, he continuously use the multiple spell that he has learnt, continuous spamming will further increase his skill level. But he could only do it when his mana point is full. Due to him being only level 3 the times that he can spam the skill is limited. Thinking it over if he raised his magic status it can raised his mana regeneration. He read a book regarding status, strength increased the overall offence capabilities, vitality increased health point, stamina and stamina regeneration. Resistance increased the defense capabilities and also the ability to resist certain status ailment. Agility increase the speed of attacking and also increase the dodging percentage. Magic on the other hand increase magic offence, mana pool and mana regeneration while magic resistance increased defense toward magical attack, it also increased mana pool and mana regeneration.
So my option is to increase either magic or magic resistance, either way its not like I can used offense magic but just to be safe I evenly distributed it between both of them. My mana now steadily regenerates a bit a faster. While continuing to spam the spell, I leisurely float in the bath house. Finishing washing up, I wore the robe and went back to my room. While walking through the hallway, I was still wasn’t used to the candle light lamp, thinking back I’m really a modern kind of man who need electricity. As I pass through Miranda’s room, a faint sound of crying can be heard. Knocking down the door lightly I hope she could hear it, after a while the cry fade out.
‘who is it?’
‘its me Red’
‘ouh’
after the sound unlock could be heard, the door open up. ‘come in’ ‘thanks’ entering her room, it was the same as before but now there’s linger a sweet scent, it’s probably her’s. she gesture for me to sit on her sofa, sitting on it I was more relaxed than usual it must be because its my second time here. To broke the silence
‘ how’s your day?’
she start of with a bright smile
‘ it was good I learn a lot of things today you know I can now doing an intermediate level magic’
The night then pass with Miranda told stories about her achievement. It seems that she wasn’t bother by not being able to return, or maybe her heart wasn’t ready to open up that much to Red. After saying goodnight to each other Red then return back to his room, seeing the young maiden sleeping quietly on his bed, he could only chuckle by the situation. If he was in the original world, the wolf inside him would have devoured that poor little lamb. But to his surprise, only after three days he has changed this much. I guess its true that different environment change people. Putting off the oil lamp he then slumbers on the sofa with thoughts of his eternal love at the other side of the universe. ‘I wish I could see her again’ Red then close his eyes and dwell in his sleep.

Alexandra Bedford is a weapon, a young woman with telekinetic powers capable of leveling entire cities, born to fight in the desolate remains of post-apocalyptic North America. There is only one problem: she may be losing control of her abilities. Sixteen years after a global pandemic devastated the earth’s population, the lines in the old United States have been drawn between the Cheyenne Directorate in Colorado and the New England Alliance on the East Coast. The Directorate, of which Alexandra is a part, is a small but powerful organization dedicated to returning the country to its former glory. However, when a diplomatic mission to the New England Alliance goes wrong, Alexandra finds herself at the center of a bloody civil war. Battles are fought on the old highways and in dilapidated towns and once-great cities. And as the conflict escalates, all of North America faces the threat of being burnt away by nuclear fire. Against this backdrop of war, Alexandra tries to uncover the long-hidden secrets behind the plague, her abilities, and the two men fighting to decide the fate of the United States - Henry Bedford, Alexandra's father and leader of the Directorate, and John Martin, the mysterious figure at the heart of the New England Alliance who may hold the key to everything she seeks. None of this will matter, however, unless Alexandra can prevent the power growing inside her from taking over and consuming the very world she is fighting to save. Author's Notes: I appreciate you taking a look at my novel, The Girl from the Mountain. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, military thrillers, and/or cosmic horror, I think you'll enjoy this story. I completed the novel's first draft back in 2011 and made significant changes in 2016. Since then, I've more-or-less sat on the manuscript while working on other projects. Thanks to a bit of prodding, I've decided to send this story out into the wild with some touch-ups and additional revisions. I welcome any comments or criticisms, and I hope you enjoy The Girl from the Mountain!
