《Code Death[Dropped]》Chapter 4 - Dads Training

Advertisement

After Xzavon got Eric, Jack, and Shina to agree going with him to Saint Hail Academy he needed to get the permission of their parents. surprisingly they were ok with it, saying it’ll be a good experience and they might even become a noble in the future or marry into a rich family which would be good for them.

The next few days they were all getting their gear together because they weren’t staying in the village but instead going to the forest for training. Saying their goodbyes to their friends and family they set off to the Forest of Vigour, because they might not ever return out of the forest and just set straight off to the academy after training.

Standing in the middle of an opening are 4 youths and one older man, the man is giving orders to the youths telling them to set up camp and to get water. Shina’s tent is towards Jim since he doesn’t want the boys to do anything to her, Xzavons, Jack, and Eric’s are towards the river about a few meters away.

“Hmm, besides Xzavon can I see ya’ll stats that way I would know what type of training you should do, we can also discuss what type of class would be good for you. If you already have a class in mind I don’t mind helping you out figuring out what type of basic skills you need to start out.”

Shina puffs out her chest and shows her stats proudly, “Pretty good huh? Don’t worry I won’t show off too much, if you bow down and give me your loyalty maybe i’ll be nicer to you.”

“What’s there to show off girl, these stats aren’t even that great. I know people who had twice these numbers and you’re trying to show off, you’re ten years too early.” Jim shakes his head, he has no idea why he thought for a second she might have something to be proud of but she doesn’t. If he had to give her a class she would most likely be a healer class, that’s all she’ll be good for. But alas it’s not up to him to decide others future so he asked her what class she wanted, turns out she wants to be a bishop. He asked her why, her answer was simple, so everyone can look up at me and i can look down on the world.

Bishop one of the 5 healing classes, they use holy books and recite prayers upon their allies thus giving them boost to their stats and enchants their bodies with holy energy. Main in group play they have 0 attack spells, because all of their spells are for others to use. If they try to attack an enemy with an attack spell, they will receive a rebound effect and it will cause them to be cursed by the divine spirits. Why you ask, because Bishops are holy beings that should not attack, they are there for others to rely upon, attacking is going against the gods will thus they shall be punished if they were to attack.

The 4 other Healing classes are Saint, Priest, Druid, and Mystic, these classes are different from bishop because they allow you to harm your enemy but the downside is their buffs and healing isn’t as great.

“My stats are better than yours, I guess that means i’ll have a higher ranking than you on the exam. Don’t worry i’ll beat up anyone who messes with my dear little sister so you don’t have to worry about anything, if someone messes with you call me.” Jack said with a proud voice, although he teases and messes with Shina a lot he doesn’t like it when other people does it because he hates when people messes with someone close to him.

‘OK these stats are better, he would probably be able to make it into the top of the lower tier of people’ Jim thought to himself. Although these stats weren’t great it still was good enough to put him in the top of the lower tier of people who were going to take the exam. But who is Jim, he isn’t going to let Xzavons friends be made fun of when they enter school, he’s going to whip them into shape real good so they will at least make it into the middle tier.

Although Jacks stats incline more towards being a warrior or paladin type of class, he chose something that Jim would have never thought he would choose. Jack chose to become a Martial Artist, one of the warrior type of sub classes which uses their hands and feet to fight instead of weapons. They are deadly though, their hands can crush steel and pierce through flesh easily but they have one of the hardest training regimen even without him training Jack.

Martial Artist have to become one with the Heavens and instead of mana they acquire qi in exchange, they use the qi to enrich their bodies and learn heavenly skills to crush their enemies. Jim would have personally thought he should become a swordsman, just based of Jacks looks he would at least look bad-ass even if he didn’t have the skills to back it.

“Do i have to show my stats? I mean just looking at these two mines pales in comparison, I’ll just tell you I want to become a swordsman. I mean who doesn’t want to slash others in half and draw their sword as fast as lightning before their opponent even has a chance to move.”

Nodding his head in agreement Jim just can’t find anything wrong with his decision. Being a swordsman is one of the best feelings a man can have, Jim knows from experience that’s because he himself is one of the best swordsman on the Bloodbore Continent so he’ll defiantly make Eric a real contender.

Staring at the youths Jim makes up his mind on the training they’ll do for the next 4 weeks, although it is a short amount of time it’ll at least give them ample amount of time to increase their strength and learn a few basic skills and control.

“Listen up, I don’t give a fuck who you are, whether you are my son or his friends or even the mayors kid. Today you are my students for this one month, remember this well don’t complain or else you’ll be running for your life in this forest away from my fist. Not only will you not complain you will also eat when I say eat, and sleep when I say sleep, if you can’t do this then i’ll toss you in the river and tell your parents you have gotten eaten by bears.”

That sent a slight shiver up the kids back, making the hairs on their skin stand tall. After that they began their first day of training.

-Day 1-

Jim starts points towards the youths, “Shina, and Xzavon you two will sit and meditate, try to feel the energy in the air. Once you have acquired the desired effects tell me and I will let you know what else to do. Jack you will do the similar but instead of energy try to feel the sun’s heat penetrating through your body going to your cells this is the only way I can think of you to get the desired effect. Eric…you will follow me we are going to chop some wood for a fire once you have chopped enough then we’ll return.”

Xzavon sits next to Shina cross-legged with his hands instead the other trying to meditate. After 30 minutes pass by he still feels nothing going on, he doesn’t feel any energy flowing through his body. Opening one of his closed eyes he glances next to him and sees a golden aurora around Shina.

Xzavon taps Shina, but she doesn’t respond so he grabs her chest instead.

*Smack*

Shina’s face is beat red, she glares at Xzavon with killing intent, “What do you think you’re doing, I think you have some sort of death wish or something how dare you try to touch my chest. I say, if it we weren’t in this forest you would be a dead man.”

Xzavon grins at Shina, he doesn’t even mind the bright red hand print on his cheek, “Haha, your chest is softer than mines, kinda felt good. That’s besides the point, how did you get that aurora around you, I’ve been trying for 30 minutes and still felt nothing at all.”

“Baka! Don’t try to feel listen, and don’t listen feel. Just clear your mind of and try to sleep once you do that everything will become easy. What do you think meditating is, staying awake and clearing your mind, that would be boring as hell, who would just sit with their eyes closed not thinking of anything. Now don’t touch me, I felt like I was close to something, if you touch my chest again i’ll drown you in the river.”

Xzavon shrugs his shoulders and tries to meditate again, another 30 minutes pass but nothing happens. 1 hour later he finally feels something in the middle of his forehead and strangely it spreads to his entire face before he realises its water.

*Splash, Splash*

Xzvon’s heads appears out of the water and looks up only to realize that Shina is there giggling at him, “Hahaha, serves your right for touching my chest. Thought I wouldn’t get you back did you, thought i would just let it go, nope you have another thing coming. Hopefully that cool water servers as a warning for you, have fun getting out of the river.”

clenching his hands until blood comes out, he has never felt so ashamed in his life. ‘Just you wait, i’ll teach you a lesson. You want to put me in the river, ok we can play these games i’ll show you just you wait.’ Instead of getting out of the river he stays in it and meditates. Soon two hours have passed by, and this time he feels something in the middle of his chest swirling around and around. Trying to make it go faster and faster, he suddenly notices the color of it is bluish blackish.

-Skill acquired Level 1 (Beginner Lv 1 | 0%)-

Feel the essence in the world moving towards you.

Increases Mana amount by 1 for every 5 minutes you meditate.

Slightly grinning Xzavon has achieved his desired goal, now it is time for him to go eat something. Smelling something delicious he immediately runs towards the smell only to notice that everyone else is already happily chatting and eating fish.

“Oi, boy you’re the last one to come i thought you were going to take at least a day to get results. Don’t show that face boy, usually it only takes 1 hour for others to learn it but you took 4 hours to think I have a son like you. Guess i’ll have to take extra care of you.” Jim says with this villainous smile on his face.

-Day 2-5-

Jim had the kids do exactly the same thing as day one, to improve on the skill and so far they have gotten the desired results.

-Day 6-10-

After Jim introduces new training methods he takes Xzavon towards the river. There he has him sit down but instead of meditating he tells Xzavon to block his blows or even dodge them, but there’s a catch he has to do it with his eyes closed. He doesn’t even let Xzavon eat dinner until he gets the desired skill. When he notices that his son doesn’t even get how to use his mana to sense the blows coming he get irritated and pushes him into the river.

“Blah, why did you do that?” Xzavon showed an irritated face, he already got thrown in the water a few days ago and now he is in it again, this really is pissing him off.

Jim shakes his head, “Boy you just don’t understand, you use your mana to sense my attacks coming that way you can dodge. If you aren’t able to do that how can you even try to dodge my attacks. For you since you want to become a mage this is something you have to learn in case you get attacked from behind you will be able to sense the attack coming and at least prepare for it. But nope you sit here taking blow after blow like an idiot.”

Xzavon tries again, this time he concentrates on the mana around him, then he noticed that there was a distortion in the mana at one spot so he reacts to it and moves his head slightly barely dodging the blow.

-Skill acquired Level 1 (Beginner lv 1 | 0%)

Sensing the changes around you allows you to prepare for incoming attacks

Senses attacks in a 2 feet radius.

“Good boy, we’ll keep doing this for a few more days until I feel that you are good enough at dodging my attacks. This is only for the morning in the afternoon you will meditate and for night you will learn to control you mana.”

A confused look appears on Xzavon’s face, “? what do you mean control it?”

“Try to send your mana to any part of your body and it will increase your strength at that part for a certain amount of time. Mages use it for defense, but it has one more use if you use it right, it can control the output of your attacks. Usually people think the bigger the attack the more devastating it is, but that’s wrong what you need to do is control the output at a single point and condense the energy of the attack to make it smaller. Once that happens the attack will do twice the damage go ahead try to send your mana in your fist.”

Concentrating all his mana in his fist it begins to have a faint bluish glow around it.

-Skill acquired level 1 (Beginner lv 1 | 0%)

Controls where your mana goes and increases users strength in that area.

-Skill acquired level 1 (Beginner lv 1 | 0%)

Creates a shield around user to decrease the amount of damage taken.

Damage reduced -5%

“Surprisingly you are good at controlling you mana instead of sensing it. Well at least I can be proud of you for that because that isn’t all that easy to learn. I really thought it would take you at least a few days to condense mana into your first let alone make a small shield around it. My opinion of you have dramatically improved, keep making this father proud.”

Xzavon is happy also, he finally did something he can feel proud about without asking any questions. He wouldn’t have known that this is one of many things he will accomplish in controlling his mana.

-Day 11-26-

In the middle of camp the 4 youths are back together, and each of them are wearing leg weights.

“I a week so far, we only have 3 more weeks to go but I thought it was time we train you guys stats. You are probably thinking you have raised them high enough, but you are wrong usually when people awaken their qi their stats are all 50. You guys however were lower than normal, so to compensate for that i’ll help you guys raise your stats and we shall begin the real training.”

A look of delight appears on their faces, they thought they were just learning skills that increased their stats but the best type of training was the one were you actually had physical activity. To be honest they were getting bored meditating and chopping wood they needed something to ease their boredom but never would they have thought it was going to be this. When they heard Jim say they were going to run in the forest until evening they started complaining.

“Fine then you little shits, you don’t want to run i wont make you run.” The youths faces really brightened up then, but then they thought about it, if they didn’t run what would they do. Grinning Jim certainly had the answer, “You don’t have to run, but you will if you don’t want to get eaten by those guys.”

Looking behind Jim they seen 4 savage-looking white wolves staring at them. Their heart beats started racing looking at Jim to see if he was just playing around with them, but he wasn’t he sat down and closed his eyes.

holding up 1 finger he grinned, “You guys have 1 hour to escape from here, truthfully I didn’t want to do this, but you see I knew you guys weren’t going to want to run so I had no choice. These guys I tamed myself why you guys were busy sleeping, and I starved them for a few days so they are really hungry, when you run just make sure you come back in the evening and no earlier. You guys will have around 5 hours to come back, and we can continue doing this until its time for us to leave this forest and go to the other world.”

Seeing that Jim wasn’t playing around they immediately dashed off into the forest. 1 hour, they had 1 hour to get as far away as they can before the wolves were going to come after them. ‘Got to find the best hiding spot so I wont be eaten’ is what they were thinking, but who knew Jim would go back on his word.

“Times up, the wolves are coming it seems 1 hour in my world goes faster than yours hope you survive till evening.” Jims voice echoed through the forest, causing their hearts to beat even harder they wouldn’t have thought he would go back on his words, but they could only curse in their hearts.

-Day 27-

Happily smiling Jim feels a little proud at the youths he raised for these few weeks. He knows that they have gotten many times stronger than when he first seen them.

“You know, i really didn’t have any hope for you kids. But you have proven me wrong ‘Sadly’ so to reward you I’ve got a few books for your desired classes that teaches you some skills.”

Handing each of them 2 books of different colors he heads home instead of staying around because he needs to get his wife so they can leave later on today.

Xzavon received Ether Bolt and Fire bolt skill books, Jack received Lightning step and Mystic Punch, Shina received Group heal and Regeneration, Eric received Quick Step and Quick Draw. satisfied with their gifts they began to read them and learn the skills within a few hours, you can say that their comprehension of learning has increased by leaps and bounds.

Shortly after Victoria and Jim come back pointing towards the north, “Lets go to the Bloodbore Continent!”
