Chapter 3: Unwanted Training

After what happened then, we were immediately teleported to a different room. The room had various windows to the outside, which just showed a cloudy sky, so there were still no clues to where I was. The room was completely covered in metal plates, with a simple dining room set, two chairs and one table. That seemed to be everything in the room as I started to walk towards the middle of the room, which started to expand as I got closer to the middle. As if it had no end.

-Curiosity killed the cat- This was said by Regal, who was now standing behind me

-So, curiosity is something normal, specially when, well, you know, not know where you are- I said this in a sarcastic tone as I continued to walk, the room continuing to get bigger… or so I had thought. I then turned my head towards the furniture set, which seemed to have moved while I did, as well as the window. I then continued to walk slowly to notice, the room wasn’t growing, but rather, it was moving alongside me to not run out of space

-Still, you might not want to walk on your own in this room. You could get… lost-

-What do you mean by lost? It’s just a single room-

-It might look like that, but, believe me, I have heard stories about this room. Most candidates lost their minds inside this room. This is basically the room where we know if you have the strength to manage what you have to do in the future- He says this with a cocky smile as he moved freely inside the room, reaching the chair and table

-So, this is a test, huh?- After saying this, I proceeded to smile as I turned my head towards him. -Challenge accepted- The first thing I tried was moving towards the chairs and table. Of course, this failed instantly, as the room continued to move alongside me

-You know, you can train anything else while you figure out how to get out of the center of the room- Regal said this as he was sitting down, drinking a cup of tea slowly

-What are you talking about?-

-Remember, I know everything about you kiddo. I know what you used to do, and I know why you stopped-

I still tried to shake off the thought of him going through my mind, even if I did try to hide it from others, I was scared. If he was mentioning the words training, that means that I will have to fight. And I hadn’t participated in any battle for 7 years… but, if I had to train…-And where am I going to get my weapon exactly?-

-Why do you think you have the bracelet? Let me just say, with it, possibilities are endless, you just need to… visualize it- He said this with a smile as he continued to serve himself another cup of tea

I turned to look at the bracelet. It seemed to be fully charged, as the screen did not show any signs of the old messages from before I lost consciousness.Instead, the screen had turned purple, with nothing on it. I then proceeded to think what he said… visualize…after thinking about it, I started to remember my old sword, the one I used to use with my dad and brother. As I started to remember it, the screen changed, showing that same sword that was on my mind. I proceeded to tap the screen, which made the sword slowly start appearing on my hand, which then pulled me down to the ground. The sword in question was a double-bladed buster sword.

(Kind of like this. Found a picture of this buster on google and just doubled it)

-Hey, are you alright over there kiddo?- Regal said this from his chair, leaning a bit forward

-Don’t call me kiddo…- I said this while struggling a bit, lifting myself up from the floor, trying to carry the sword with one arm… it had been a long time since I last did this, so I wasn’t as strong as before, but I could still manage to pick it up, even if it was hard to do.

-Don’t overexert yourself. You’re going to need all of the energy you can get to exit this spot-

He was starting to get on my nerves as I started to use the sword to hold myself up, as I started to think of a pair of throwing knives, tapping on the screen to letting them fall on the floor as I smiled lightly

-Hey, at least make something a bit more creative. Throwing knifes are-

A knife then got nailed right by the side of his head. I threw that knife.

-Could you please shut the hell up!?- I then slowly stood upright while continuing to hold my buster sword in one hand while starting to walk towards him -Look, it’s already enough with me not knowing where the hell I am, and since you’re so much into entering my mind, then you should know. I DON’T LIKE BEING TRAINED. Specially by sarcastic mother scratcher like you!- Without noticing, as I walked, the room stopped moving on me, allowing me to get close enough to him to point the tip of my blade up against his throat -So, it’s either you start training me properly, or just explain to me how this thing works so I can kill you-

As he saw the blade on his throat, he smiled at me, standing up slowly, to then flick his finger towards me. Oddly, that sent me flying back toward the middle of the room, he then slowly walked towards me, picking me up from the neck, lifting me off the ground

-Listen to me kiddo… never threaten me again… you won’t like what I’m capable of- He said this in a cocky tone as he smiled, preparing to throw me back onto the ground

Right then, at that moment, I did what I promised myself not to do ever again.-Ghastly Illusion- My body began to spasm rapidly as it phased through his hand, to then swing my arm towards his neck, swinging it hard enough to crack it…

[ABILITY DESCRIPTION]

Ghastly Illusion

This ability is mainly a defensive ability, even if it may have offensive capabilities. This is a Sylph ability, which allows it’s user to turn intangible, while still appearing visible. While in this state, the user can stop one of the parts in his body, making it possible to hit someone with that specific body part. Armors make this almost impossible, straining the user to the point where he might become tired very easily, since the armor adds more mass to what is already intangible. This can be reduced by only turning one body part intangible There is also a secondary state to this ability, but… we’ll cover that soon enough.

I turned my head towards him, throwing my sword on the ground -Not as powerful as you thought you were, huh?- I then laughed a bit as I started to kick his torso while he was down.

Then, as if it was magic, he grabbed my leg, smiling as he slowly stood up, throwing me back with a flip.

-Well, you have a lot of spirit kid, let me tell you that- He cracked his neck back into place -And I got to admit, you did catch me off guard with that move. Ghastly Illusion, eh? That rings a small bell in my memory, like I’ve heard of that ability before- He then went ahead and lifted me up from the ground, standing me upright.

The room seemed to heal all the wounds and injuries that kept on happening to us while in the room, which was helpful, since I didn’t feel as much pain as I should, but it still messed with me…

-You know, I think this will be a fun week of training-
