Bab 10: Mastery & Affinity
I woke up earlier today and had a fast breakfast, as I was quite excited about skill training, I was a person who couldn't even use a spoon in the past; weapon & martial training were just fantasy I read occasionally in novels.
I browsed the several skills that were already in my mind as I thought about my priorities, since I had plans to start clearing the quest log as soon as possible. I didn't have much time to learn every skill I read, so learning a few useful ones would do just right.
After half an hour of thinking I settled on learning sword skills for weapons for the time being.
[ Activating 'Omni-Mastery' ….. ]
[ Primary skill acquisition list:
- 'Sword-Mastery': Swing a sword 100 times {0/100}
- 'Swift Swordsmanship': Repeat the 5 moves of the manual, 100 times each {0/500}
- 'Vital Dagger strike': Stab a target's vital point 100 times {0/100}]
I checked the 'Sword-Mastery' skill for more details
[ 'Sword-Mastery' acquisition requirements:
* swing a sword 100 times for ten days {0/1000}
* learn at least one swordsmanship skill {0/1~10}]
'I guess it won't be that easy' I thought to myself. Although the requirement turned to be more demanding, it was still a cheat no matter how one thought about it.
According to the tutorial info, learning skills especially the weapon type required a long time, learning one in 30 days would be abnormal in its own, let alone in 10 days!
In the mean time, I didn't even need ten days to learn something like 'Swift Swordsmanship'. it was only mastery skills that held such requirement. Unfortunately, the system's information on mastery skills was insufficient, even almost non-existent. my only way of knowing more was by learning it or waiting till the timer reaches the end. only then could I receive more info, according to the system.
But still it seemed quite a waste of time to just do this little training for a whole day, since I had to train for 10 days to acquire 1 skill, I decided to pick up all the weapons I could learn using.
Although, I settled at using the sword in the beginning, it would it be a waste of time if I only did sword training, since I only found one complete set which was 'Swift Swordsmanship'. all the other knowledge on the sword consisted of incomplete moves and styles which could only be used as a reference.
Besides, it wasn't like learning more mastery skill would cause more harm than good, was it? So, I checked other mastery skills that I could learn, which had similar acquisition requirements to sword mastery except slightly longer number of days, like archery which required shooting 100 arrows for 13 days.
-> Sword: 100 swings, 10 days
-> Spear: 150 stabs, 11 days
-> Bow: 100 shots, 13 days
-> Dagger: 80 side-stabs, 12 days
-> Halberd: 200 attacks, 11 days
The new daily training plan that felt so empty after daily quests were out of schedule, was suddenly filled to the brim.
I decided to pick up weapon specified skills next. I didn't have hard time doing since there was only one or two of such skills in my mind, so it was settled quickly.
I collected the weapons from the training room to the backyard where all the training targets were piled, starting today, my daily training continues.

Ten days later…..

['Sword-Mastery' acquisition requirements:

* learn at least one swordsmanship skill {1/1}]
I swung the sword one more time, and then, I was assaulted by an abnormal feeling. I felt as if countless swords were tearing their way into my body that I almost screamed in pain. Luckily, it was only a momentary phenomenon.
[You have acquired 'Sword-Mastery' lv.1]
[Your body accepts the baptism of the sword, strength increases by 2]
[Strength +2 -> Strength: 12]
"Jackpot!"
It was all I could think about at this moment, the choice of mastering every weapon I could get my hand on, which sounded so ridiculous, just became the wisest choice I made. since I couldn't boost my stats further through normal training, if every mastery skill increased 1 or 2 stats point then that would mean that I could increase my stats about by about 4~8 points more!
The most important part about this was the strange feeling I was experiencing just now.
The crude training sword that I held in my hand, I could feel as if it had a heartbeat... as if it was alive….
[ 'Sword-Mastery' Lv.1
