""Now for your schedule, you have a lot to learn and not much time to learn it before... All war breaks out between each country and between... Well you learn about that during classes" Augustine said smiling at me.
he then handed Arthur a schedule which included lessons such as Leadership, literature and mathematics as well as practical aspects those being swords training and commanding an army in mock scenarios and finally horse riding. At most Arthur had 2 years to learn these skills. He was then given time to go rest which he did,
He woke up the next day
<480/480 Minutes>
<25/100 EXP>
It was time for his first lesson, Swordsman training
as he stepped into his training room he saw the man who would be his swordsman trainer until
"Lets begin" he said with a smile before he dashed at Arthur with his great sword, he lifted it like it weighed nothing and as he swung at Arthur he could barely block him with Excalibur, he repeatedly swung at me forcing me to play the defensive,
His movements slowed allowing for Arthur to get in a counter attack but as he got close he was blocked
"I don't know what you did to weaken me but even with that you will not beat me"
a cycle of blocking, attacking and getting blocked went on before Arthur decided to activate
he immediately took the offensive he was blinding fast although still weaker than the instructor before he had weakened him until he had finally been able to get in the final hit
<25/150 EXP>
'Synchronisation'
although all his stats had only gone up by one since the level up he would be able to triple them essentially giving him a 33 in every stat, and he could feel the massive difference, he still had a stat point to chose to put into, looking at them all for a while he realised what won him this fight wasn't his strength but instead his speed, if he was any slower he would've been hit first so he decided to invest in this bringing his agility to 12, Arthur was satisfied with his growth, he already felt much more powerful than he was the day before, however a second later another older man came out from the side
"You have done well, i accept you as my student" the old man said, his voice calming Arthur.
"Um- hello?" Arthur replied "Who are you"
"i am your sword master young one, call me Leon"
"i see, so he was just a test?" Arthur questioned him
"yes just a man on death row, you seemed to know he was full of evil, i like that eye"
"sadly that's not my own ability, i can only do this due to Excalibur here"
"Well Excalibur is your sword correct? Then it is your ability, never underestimate yourself, true strength comes from within, it has nothing to do with what you physically can or can't do, remember that for it is important" him saying this seemed to change something in Arthur 'i can believe in myself?' he thought.
"Sir! I promise to work hard" he said bowing.
"I said call me Leon, not sir or master or anything like that"
He then got told to meditate to gather his energy as he did a ball started to form in his body, this was a power unknown to many.
