《Real Fake World》04 Vadima's Weapons and Skills
Advertisement
The next morning a servant knocked on the already awakened and ready for school Christopher's door inviting him for breakfast.
The same also happened to the others and slowly everyone begun gathering at the gathering spot, where regular food was set for them to eat.
"Can I ask why you can't just use the illusion to make the stat adding food become eatable again?"
The boy named Stelios, a tall but mostly silent glasses wearing boy said, in truth he was sort of a computer nerd in school, but his brains were good and his grades weren't shady at all.
"Well truth is that we could do so, for you right now, but what will happen when you encounter such stat enchanting food in the dungeon, won't all of you be disgusted to even eat it, or the even more precious food stocks or stat enchanting onjects, for example how many of you would be willing to goggle up the privates of a drake raw, or eat the brains of a fishman raw?"
The Archmage's words left not only Stelios speechless, but everyone in the room, in truth Stelios was one of the ten whom had stayed behind and ate their due and even the leftovers gaining too many stat points as a result, thus wanting to help his friend whom didn't stay to eat that shitty looking food.
Only after that day did Stelio's understand what "tastes like chicken" meant in many novels,movies and comics.
"Now let us eat, later Vadima will be waiting for you at the training hall where you will experience your first experience at wielding a weapon and fighting"
His words were as calm as ever but he didn't stay to dine with them, the Archmage simply teleported away in a flash of light with an expression like saying "I have already spent enough of my precious time on the likes of you".
Of course not many of the students could catch up to this lofty but well hidden trait in his smiling face.
Giving off the sense of disdain, in reality Archmage Menances was against summoning people from another world, since there is prior matters concerning otherworlders that didn't end very well, In truth Menances didn't even believe there was a need for summon these people, with so much stat food, they could simply raise one of the princes or some other royal subject, the problem was the king himself.
In truth there was a background story behind the reason why they had summoned the otherworlders.
There are 13 kingdoms on Axis, each kingdom having One hero whom they had raised with all their care, each hero had the duty to assist in defeating the Demon king, while also clearing the Dungeon pillar of high level monsters, thus leaving only low level beings behind for the adventurers to clear while establishing outposts and towns inside the Dungeon Pilar itself.
The problem however was the King and the Hero of their country had a fallout, the reason being Greed, the hero whom had so much power wanted to also become king, he didn't want to all his life be the underdog of a weak king, thus he turned Rogue, took some people and established his Own Kingdom inside the Dungeon Pillar.
Now there was only two years left before the Demon king's level reaches to 10, after that he will begin leveling up like crazy, but he will only reveal himself after he reaches level 100, with normaly only takes a year at most, the strongest demon lord only took a single month before revealing himself as the leader of the 10th floor, going further below the 10th floor is a suicide, since those floors haven't been cleared for ages now, thus the monsters living on those floors even the weakest ones are over level 100.

You might think what's so great about level 100, isn't that the average level of humans in that world, well the answer is their starting points, for example a human baby will have a physique of 0.1, but a baby monster can start with a physique of 2.5 like the Lil slime stated before, that was only the stats of a level 1 Lil slime, meaning that a level 2 Lil slime might have a Physique of 3.5 of course it might have raised it Mentality or Magicality instead, but in general most monsters only cared about Physique, thus making monsterw far supperior to humans in close combat or magic combat where magic type monsters were involved, after all humans were more like jacks of all trades in comparison to monsters that only cared about eating and fighting and combined with their stat advantage from birth, it only made them even more terrifying.
Of course Otherworlder like ourselves cannot understand what a contrast between 1 point of physique is like.
But here is an example, a regular adult from our world has a physique of 1, a powerful doped bodybuilder has a physique of 2, meaning that on earth those with a physique of 3 can be counted as freaks of nature and most are buffed with drugs in order to acquire that sort of physique for a limited duration of time.
After having a Breakfast, the groups first went to their own gathering spots.
"Today we will have our first stategical meeting!"
The one speaking was Mina, their leader and Angelo's twin sister, the others weren't really interested in this meeting to begin with, but since everyone else did it, they too did the same.
"I have inquired from the servants in the castle and learned some useful information"
Mina's words suddenly birthed some interest in her audience.
"First of all, Your classes determine what equipmens you can use, equipments are items like clothing, books, weapons, but the most important is what skills you can learn, some powerful skills are restricted to certain classes"
With these words those that had ever played games before understood that Mina was not one of them, she probably didn't even understand what HP and MP standed for in the first place.
It would be rather funny if they suddenly mistakenly asked her for a mana potion instead of a magic replenishment potion since Mana in greece means mother.
Just imagining it made some want to laught, just imagine someone shouting to you "Give me the Mother potion", the heck you would understand what he meant.
"Second thing I discovered is that you can See how much HP you have through an item called Health evaluation glass, it's a round crystal bead that shines red when it faces something that has HP, by the way did you know that HP means Health points?"
Mina chatted with the other girls exchanging gaming tips they knew, causing the boys of the group to feal a headache coming just by sitting still.
"So how much did your stats increase by eating that shit at the table?"
Angelo asked, after all he was now somewhat envious of those that had stayed behind, after thinking about it, what's so bad about eating shit, if the shit can make him stronger.
"3 full points in physique, two full points in Mentality and eight full points is Magicality, of course if everyone stayed and ate it would have been 0.3 in physique, 0.2 in Mentality and 0.8 in magicality, each piece of stat food could only give a 0.1 rise, I suspect that those given were probably the cheapest stuff they could buy in bulk, since we're too many if it was only one of us present, they would have probably bought something that would instantly shoot our stats to the stars"

This was Costas' evaluation of their circumstances and the food they had eaten yesterday.
Angelo gulped rather nervously, he didn't of course understand the diference of 1 full point of physique, but knowing that his physical disparity to Costas was now as wide as 3 full points he didn't know what to think about, if the others whom stayed had eaten at least half of what Costas ate, then their group was probably rather strong, after all of the ten people who stayed that day three were part of their team.
A smile rose on Angelo's mouth as if he was satisfied with himself over something, of course Costas was one of Angelo's friends.
In general Costas was a smart boy, adept in mathematics and physics, but he wasn't like those nerds whom chose to focus on their studies, he was very social and had lots of friends, he was also an adept football player, thus making him very popular with the other boys.
Some of you might not understand me, but let me talk a little about P.A. in my country, instead of excercising in P.A. we just did warm ups and then were given balls to play basket, football or volley.
Of course playing with two 11 player teams in the courtyard with two trashcans as goalposts is rather stupid, but it was rather fun non the less.
But what happens if the Class has around 30 boys and only 10 girls.
Of course the boys select two leaders, whom select the players for their team, those that aren't selected either loiter around or go play basket, of course football was more popular at that time and that basket is a lot harder than football, especialy if you are not tall enough, in general tall people have a great advantage in basket and not only in the first throw they can simply intercept your ball in the air simply by stretching their hands up, meaning that if you haven't practiced shooting you are as good as waste on the field, I won't speak about fouls in basket, it simply has too many rules and those whom knew how to play the game would always strictly implement the rules to those that didn't know, making the game for them less enjoyable, some even cheated them with a strait smile, Costas in general was one of those guys who could lie with a strait face, but he also knew how to play and most of the times he lied it was just to make fun of them and not with some malicious aim like to win points or lying about it being a foul, more like letting the fouls he himself done go and only seeing other's faults while playing however he liked.
Of course In the end most people simply decided to drop basket and begun chatting, as for the girls they never cared about P.A. in the first place, they simply loitered around chatting, of course one of the reasons was that they weren't enough to play volley or basket to begin with, at most they made a circle and passed the ball around either with their hands or kicking it with their feet.
But nevermind that, lets go back to the gathering, saying that it passed smoothly was an understatment, since it was pointless to begin with, the group was already divided into three camps.
Mina's camp had her brother Angelo,his friend Costas and Alexxa and her friends.
The next camp was Theo,Jonny and Giota, whom Theo liked and she wasn't really against being with him.
The last camp was the loner Christopher whom wasn't exactly a sociable person, he would simply follow them around because of majority's choice, but whether he would follow their commands still depended on his temper.
In truth he was a rather irritable guy for them, he was unruly in a manner since he didn't abide with the rules of the world, meaning that might makes right and didn't crawl to a group in order to not be bullied, thus ending in him being surrounded by those bullied, whom tried to find a support in their struggles.
You might think that he was a rather good guy, but in truth that led him to become target of all the bullies in the school, from middle school till high school he was still bullied or at least they were attemping to bully him, since most of their attempts ended in mutual destruction.
Of course that bullying was also the way he fist met Alexxa.
It was a rather sunny day, and he was surround by six other boys, they had yet to start beating the crap out of each others and it was then that she shouted at them that she was calling the teachers. Thus ending leaving a rather good impression on him.
Of course what she never learnt later was that a month or so later he had beaten the crap out of all six of them behind the school's building. Leaving them crounching in pain on the dry asphalt.
You might think that he's badass, but reality was that he found them too weak to go all out.
Of course the bullies that came next were from higher grades, thus leaving him the one in pain, but he was unyielding even in front of those bigger than him.
His Only advantage against others later on was that he had already battle hardened, although he hated it.
In truth he hated bullies as much as they hated him, if he saw them bullying he would simply call the teachers, at some points he even even caused trouble for them of his own accord, of course there's no such thing as Yakuza in Greece, well there are some small time drug and alcohol dealers, burglar groups but they aren't exactly a thing like organized crime, they are more like groups of deliquients whom cross the boarders and leave afterwards, doing it mostly for the money rather than some sort of pride or loyalty to their organization.
In truth our borders are like a net full of holes, if you know where to look you can sneak inside, of course the same goes for all countries, except or the Main roads most of the other locations are holes in the eyes of the government and the army, they don't really care about a small group of people jumping the boarders, after all what can a small group of people do in the first place, at most they will get themselves arrested somewhere and be deported back to their own country.
Lets however drop it with politics, at the moment the students were all gathering at a broad courtyard at the back of the castle, the walls of course didn't allow them to see what was on the other side, but the courtyard was almost devoid of greenery, they could see horses in a stable nearby and a few locked storerooms at the other corner.
A beautiful tall woman whose height even rivaled Nick's height awaited for them there.
"My name is Vadima and I will be your instructor in combat and advisor in the selection of your first two skills, those of you that already have two skills should say it at that time and be excempt from this, since later at higher levels you will be able to acquire much more powerful skills"
Vadima was a rare beauty and her cold face made her even more alluring to the boys of the group.
Her tanned skin and wavy long black hair gave her an exotic beauty, her rich bossom and rather well shaped body making her look like a top model.
"Em, are you realy the Instructor?"
The one asking was Mina, she simply couldn't believe that a woman could be a warrior, but the large sword on Vadima's back said that she was probably a warrior.
"Did you expect some old mustched guy or a war veteran with only one arm, or did you expect some pirate looking guy with an eyepatch whom has eaten his eye cause it was pieced by an arrow"
Her sarcastic remarks left Mina somewhat lost in thought, truth was before seeing Vadima, she thought that boys would be fighting in the front and the girls would be the support, since they were naturaly weaker, but thinking about it more calmly and leaving behind her original world's logic, it did make sense that women in this world could become powerful warriors, since it was all about stats after all, the Woman in front of her whom didn't look much older than herself must probably have invested a lot of her points in physique.
"Any last questions?"
Vadima asked and she saw a person raising his arm up, she didn't understand what exactly that meant.
Of course in class, raising your hand is a polite way to ask the teacher for permition to speak.
"Spit it out!"
The one whom spoke wasn't Vadima, it was Angelo, after all Christopher was in his group, well since his sister's group was also his group.
"What martial arts does this world have?"
Christopher's question was more geek like question, more like a trivia, but some others were also interested.
"Isn't martial arts a skill that raises your reflexes? you should ask questions that make sense?"
Vadima's answer made many people whom had practiced martial arts to want to facepalm themselves right in the face, but only one or two dared to do so, making Vadima understand that something wasn't exactly rightin her own answer.
"Explain what trickery lies behind his question?"
The one Vadima sked was Mina, whom looked rather similar to her in many ways, well other than the body figure and beauty being down a peg or two, but she too had tanned skin and black hair, only she liked to keep it short.
"In our world people learn some moves for self defense, a set of moves is named a martial art, meaning that people whom learn the same martial art will use similar movements"
Mina's explenation was rather good for someone whom hadn't really practiced martial arts herself.
"Sound quite stupid, all you need do is see how the oponent acts and then decide what to do, slash, pierce or retreat, stop raising your hand already and speak"
Vadima saw Christopher raising his hand and understood this time that he wanted to speak again.
"What are the exotic weapons of this world?"
This question left even Mina and some others whom weren't so into weapons numb.
"What does exotic mean?"
Answering a question with a question was enough to make them understand that not all words could be translated to the other world's language.
"I mean unusual weapons type that are not common in one's country, for example in our world swords, spears, axes, shields, maces, polearms are considered as common weapons since every nation has them, but in some nations they have different weapons, like for example in japan they had the throwing stars, in india they had the chakram, in europe we had the flail, weapons that were not common in all places"
Of course Christopher's description was rather lacking but that's the best he could do to explain what he meant.
"Do you mean that in your world there are other sorts of weapons other than a sword,spear and mace and why would someone use an axe as a weapon, that's used to cut trees, that's simply stupid, to begin who would use an axe when they could use a sword? also what's a polearm, a chakaram and how the heck do you throw stars?"
Vadima was even more confused no that before, the cultural diference of the two worlds, this world was probably much more simple than he had thought it would be, well it is a medieval world after all.
"Miss Instructor, can we please begin with the training, you can just ask him after we have finished about all that stuff"
The one talking was Mina, whom had somehow bonded with the dumbstruck instructor, she too didn't understand what polearms were although she knew that throwing stars were the ninja weapons, but the chakram was a world that eluded her.
"You are right, You the one with the many questions, We will have a word after training, now...assemble!"
Her shout to assemble wasn't directed at the students, some people begun emerging from the storerooms carrying wooden weaponry, consisting of swords, staffs, maces, spears and bows.
"Since you are all level one, these are the only weapons you can equip, they are called training weapons, made of wood and their only requirement is that your level 1, meaning that even a child can use them, well mostly because no self respecting blacksmish would make weapons for levels under ten, maybe a goblin would, but their weapons are crap to begin with, now you will each go through all five weapons and will select two of them, a shield will be provided to you regardless of your weapon of choice"
The student were given one weapon at a time and were said to simply swing at the air, some tried acting cool, but all Vadima did was simply inspect them as she passed through, the thing however was that more than half of the students weren't very motivated about holding their wooden sword, it was a roughly made sword, that was more similar to a bat, rather than a sword, it wasn't that it could only do blunt, to begin with a club(mace) was preferable when using wood as the material to begin with.
In truth there was one student that had held a real sword, well a dull one but it had more weight and substance to it than the toy in his hands, his name was Jones, he was a rather handsome popular guy, but he was also the only one of them with a level 2 martial arts skill, since he was a black belt karateka, he had even tried at participating in a tournament, where he got his ass kicked by those more experienced in tournaments than him, of course a large part of the reason he had lost was stage fright.
Now Jones holding the crudely made wooden sword was disatisfied and simply swingin it in the air was even more disappointing, thus he came up with an idea.
"Instructor, how about we spar with these weapons, after all we do have healers and we can better distinguish which weapon is better suited for up"
"Well I had also thought about it, but the king values you all like the crown on his head, if even one of you dies then off with my head, if you want to spar you can do so after you leave my supervision, now continue swinging!"
Disappointed swings of swords echoed through the air as the wooden swords cut the wind causing a faint noise, barely pecievable from a distance.
"Everyone stop, I have already seen your abilities with the sword, what I have to say about it, is that you are all horrible at it"
Vadima's opinion of course was her own, it had nothing to do with objective grading or anything, it was her opinion, it's like when you are fishing for talent to see if anyone has some special talent for the weapon, in general non of them was any good with a sword.
"Next take the mace and swing it around like what you did with the sword"
Vadima's voice now made many of the students irritated, in general they cursed at her inside, calling her a bitch would be letting her off lightly.
They had already been swinging the sword enough to make their hands sore and now they had to swing the mace, some of them had already switched to their non dominant hand in order to let their main hand rest, but not even a minute later they heard her voice once more.
"You can all stop, I can see that many of you are too weak at the moment, thus you should take a break, the ten of you whom can continue go on swinging the mace"
It took 2 hours to go through all five weapons and the results were that non of them had any specific talent for the weapons themselves, meaning that they could select whatever they liked for now.
"Of course later you will be more restricted by your classes, since most weapons have class restrictions, of course there are swords that mages can equip as well or even heavy armor for mages, the problem is their rarity"
Vadima explained why she had them try all the weapons, if someone of them had some talent for a specific weapon, they would do their best to find that weapon for him or her.
"Now lets go through skills, those of you whom are warriors group together, those that are mages together and those with other classes together"
Vadima's directions were of course focused on the warriors and mages whom were the majority.
"These are the two best basic warrior skills known to date called, Quick attack and dodge roll"
Hearing the names of the skills, all the warriors simply froze where they were looking at the too books put in front of them.
"Those of you whom already have a skill should only learn dodge roll, it can save your lives in a wide range of scenarios"
The students who heard her speak wanted to simply curse out loud, they went through two ours of practicing with those wooden weapons and in the end they were simply given skillbooks of two really unremarkable skills.
"Aren't there better skills than these? like weapon mastery or maybe magic?"
The one whom spoke was Costas whose first skill was magic calculation and he was rather unwilling to make his second the dodge roll.
"How big is your Magicality stat?"
Vadima asked him while thinking seriously, truth was that there were better skills out there, the problem was that even if there were better skills, most people wouldn't be able to learn them in the first place.
"8.7 magicality, probably one of the biggest in our midst"
Costas said, while bragging a little with a sharp smile on his face.
"That's not even enough for warrior magic, if you were at ten magicality, maybe you could learn some minor magic used by warriors, the mages call these spells warrior skills since they are spells that only warriors with low magic power would learn, but let me ask you do you want to learn something that will only be useful now in the early stages or something that can accompany you for the rest of your life, dodge is one of the rare skills that even mages should be learning in my opinion, since blocking attacks from monsters is akin to commiting suicide, monsters have far supperior strength than us and as for the weapon mastery, that has a level 10 requirement by the way, the real reason however why I wouldn't advise it is because all it adds is a little weapon handling, it gives no benefit at all in combat with monsters, it only has value against humans whom have limited flexibility and rather predictable movements"
Although Vadima's speech wasn't as flashy, but the points she made were clear, "you are going to be fighting monsters not humans".
The warriors unwillingly learned a skill or both for those who had no prior skills.
"Now for mages the two skills selected by the Archmage himself for you are, Memorization and Quick Chanting, of the two Memorization is a must have skill for mages, since you will have to memorize long chants that can even fill a whole book"
Her words made those whom were mages somewhat sceptical, after all they didn't even know how to cast spells what did they needed the skills to begin with, nontheless however they still went forth to learn them, all but one.
"Won't you be learning the skills?"
Vadima asked Christopher whom didn't seem to be willing to learn the skills.
"Aren't they useless to begin with?"
Christopher asked her back.
"You don't understand the faster you get skills the more growth you will see, after allif you have no skills what will you be using your skillpoints on, and don't look at the names of skills, after level 9, the skill will evolve into a more powerful skill, of course by then you will already have eight skills to level up"
Vadima explained, but she was seemingly irritated.
"Why should I care, after all its not like the skillpoints will disapear or anything?"
"That..."
Truth was that Vadima didn't know from a young age children acquired skills, meaning that there was probably no one whom could leveled up without having a single skill to begin with, after all it took 100experience to reach level 2, while these otherworlders only needed 10.
"Whatever I don't care"
was her answer after some thought, but she was evidently angry for this act of insubordination.
"Monks should learn toughness and flexibility, these two skills, toughness will help you with enduring damage, while flexibility reduces the chances of getting your bones broken, since a monk's profession is such that you will have to go hand to hand with an enemy you will suffer greatly without these two skills, those that already have one skill should decide themselves which of the two they prefer, after all both are supportive skils that will help you very much both early and in the future"
Few in the group of students were like Christopher, thus the monks simply took her words as granted and learned the two skills as for preferance Kris whom had the martial artist decided on toughness.
"Generals only need Leadership and Commanding skills, leadership gives stats to those in your group while Command raises their stats temporarily"
Hearing her the only two generals Chris and Alexxa came forwards, Chris learning both but Alexxa didn't know which of the two was best.
"The command skill is the most important of the two, it might not be much in your eyes now, but in the future you will discover that it's essential to a general"
Of course Vadima's words weren't wrong if Alexxa was the leader of their group, but she was only a secondary member and not the leader, even so Alexxa still heeded her advice.
"Next are the Enchanters your skills are somewhat special, for you we have prepared three diferent packs of skills, Offense, Defense and Support"
Vadima said as the six skillbooks were taken out of the storehouse.
"for those of you whom like to have a way to attack others, you will learn curses, of course the skills to prepare you for that are, Herb gathering and potion making"
The warriors wanted to laugh at the two skills, what exactly was supposed to be offensive about them other than them being categorized as offensive of course.
Only Stella whom was one of the five enchanters decided on this path, in truth she likes to go on the offensive, it wasn't strange that of the whole class she was one of the only three girls who had a boyfriend.
"Defensive Enchanters should learn, sprinting and dodge roll that will allow you to survive longer, of course they offer no substential help to the rest of your group, other than them not having to worry about you"
Her words made the enchanters whom hadn't chosen the herb gathering to think about it some more.
"Supportive Enchanters should learn, Animal skinning and cooking"
It was rather hilarious to Stella whom was the only one whom selected the herb gathering at the time, as two out of four went for the herb gathering as well after weighting their choices.
"The monster tamer should get Monster Language and Empathy"
Mike their only Monster tamer was somewhat questionable of the skills and looked at Stelio for confirmation, after all Christopher's mutiny did leave a spark of rebelion in the others minds, but after some thought Stelion the smartest nerd in their group nodded in acceptance with him learning the skills, from his gaming experience they did sound essential skills for commanding monsters, although empathy wasn't as understandable a skill, but it shouldn't be bad to have.
"For healers we have decided on the Faith and Minor heal skills, of the two of course Faith is the must have skill since most of you are already have a healing power"
Vadima said and then went on to explain what the Faith skill does.
"The faith skill raises the potential of all holy magic and even gives you resistance to control spells, like fear and mind control"
The healers were all cowardly individuals to begin with, thus non objected to her words and simply went on, truth was that they were already dead tired from all the skill talk.
"Lastly the Rogues, the scouts and the noble, the rogues should take the sneak skill and the dodge roll, the scouts eagle eye and alarm, while the Noble should take Leadership since she already has another skill"
Vadima said and then made herself even more clear.
"Rogues should focus on the sneak skill, which is your class' essential ability, scouts on the eagle eye, since alarm won't work well without eagle eye to begin with, thus simply becoming a dead weight if selected without it"
To her dissatisfaction, at the moment Christopher went and selected the sneak skill and the toughness skill which were still out in the open.
The sneak skill she didn't disapprove since there were many mages in the world of Axis whom used the sneak skill combined with invisibility magic to become even more deadly than assassins, but she couldn't understand why would he select the toughness skill, which was only meant for monks, it simply raised the toughness of their body's in order to not feel as much pain when they throw a punch onto hard objects, like a wall or a huge monster or metal shield, but since he had already made his choice and learnt the skills she couldn't do much about it, In the world of Axis a person could only have 8 skills which will acompany him for all his life, of course there are legendary items and curses that are said to delete skills, but finding them in the Dungeon pillar was like seeking death since they appeared in the deeper floors and only heroes could by chance stumble uppon them.
In general classes were divided into four growth ranks, the common classes that had the 100% experience demand, the talented classes whom only needed 50% of the total experience to level up, the heroic classes whom needed only 10% and each country would simply drain themselves dry to groom them and lastly the Legendary classes that are special classes only found in the dungeon, of course classes could be changed, but whom in his right mind would change a heroic or talented class for a common one, thus talented people's fates were predetermined from birth.
In the end only a single person was left, she was of Course Giota, whom was an alchemist, in truth alchemists were a super rare occupation that appeared once in a century thus the kingdom had no idea what skills she should learn, in general all the skills of the classes she had stated would later act in synergy with more powerful skills, which would have been provided to them for free of course.
Skillbooks were rather mystical items, they were books that simply by touching them and willing to learn the skill, if you met the requirements the skill would become yours, of course the book disappearing didn't happen like in the games, it simply lost some of its magic powers, which could easily be replenished by a skilled enough mage, even a completely magic dried book could be recovered.
Giota the pretty girl with straws for brain simply looked at Vadima while making puppy eyes, as if she was a lost kitten.
"As an alchemist, your path should be the same as the blacksmith's but since your blacksmish already had two skills we decided to grant them to you, the first being mining and the second being wood cutting"
You can only imagine the big Gap Giota's mouth became, a Perfect 'O' as if wanting to swallow Vadima whole.
In our world whom would even think of making a frail pretty girl go mine ore or go chopping wood, but in Vadima's world outer appearances weren't as important, the main reason of course being magic, beautifucation magic was something rather common for the nobles and rich people, but in general in the war field beauty was something completely ignored even considered a curse by some female warriors whom were disgraced in combat.
Of course like fuck would Giota learn mining, she simply walked forth and selected skills from the rows that she liked, more accurately Command and Sprint, making Vadima out of her wits, this combination was widely known as the cowardly commander combo, a rather popular combination for noble generals whom feared too much fort their own lives to care about their troops, they first gave a command to stall the enemy and then run away from battle and if someone didn't die in battle like commanded they would suffer military court for insubordination, after all the world of nobles was a corrupt and crooked world, but the worst of all was that Giota wasn't even a general, meaning that she wouldn't be able to get the skills to act as a synergy with the skills she chose, the same went for Christopher who chose skills meant for other professions.
"Now that everyone has selected their skills, lets do a few sparring sessions and combat simulations, attendants you can take the books away and tell Brigs to come over"
