I spent the rest of my night time exercising by doing some regular training like what i used to do back in my old world but the amount of training that i wss able to do here was impressive to say the least .
I didn't even get that much tired after doing all those sets for more than dozen times over and i was still planning to do some more, ironically being a hard worker back in my old world was still haunting me in this one but at least it came to be of some help to me in this new world .
And if i was able to increase my basic attributes then the boost i could gain would increase too, so it is only a win-win situation for me the only con to this,is that i'm currently getting more hungry than before but i'm trying to pay my now growling stomach no mind but i still hoped that morning will be coming soon .
~ A few hours later ~
Knock knock , breakfast is ready Ryuu, come downstairs and join us .
I heard Liliana voice and was awakened from my focused state instantly , coming right behind you Liliana .
I told her and began to put on my clothes since i was only in my armor right now,i was quite sweaty but not one bit tired only famished .
Finally , i was beginning to think that my stomach will suddenly decide to devour me with how much it was growling .
I headed to the bathroom to wash up real quick then went back to my room to fetch my sword and headed downstairs still beaming with happiness and more confidence than before .
You seem quite energetic, are you still happy about getting a Rank and new equipment , you must be we got quite the bargain yesterday , hahaha .
As i reached downstairs, i was greated by the voice of Regard who was still laughing and joking like before and take a long breath and said : good morning old man Regard, Liliana .
And joined them on the table and began to devour the food in front of me , he just nodded at my greating and Liliana smiled at me and greated me back but suddenly she comically opened her mouth wide and asked in amazement :
Ryuu really got a bit taller than yesterday , he is way taller than me now , said the foxy Beastfolk girl Liliana while pouting cutely .
I believe it was due to my increased strength , it is not by that much and don't worry Liliana will grow up to be taller than me .
I want to be the same height as Ryuu, taller girls aren't liked much around here .
Okay then , you will be for sure the same height as me .
For sure , She raised her fist to the sky as if she was celebrating or something , the scene was quite harmonious, until someone who wasn't in the right mood decided to destroy this harmony with a cold voice saying :
Finish your breakfast quickly, i don't have much time to spare .
Oh no is master going to finally die ?.
Why are you jinxing me and what do you mean by finally, i'm just saying that i'm quite busy myself and don't have the whole day to supervise his training alright , he said and looked to be quite agreviated too .
Oh, and here i thought .
You thought, give me a break, can't i even have my breakfast in peace nowadays .
What are you looking at ?.
Why was he glaring at me for, i was only a bystander here .
I looked towards Liliana for help and she said with an innocent expression : enjoy your last breakfast meal, master .
His glaring even increased to the point that i felt his eyes were turning red .
Just hurry up and eat , we don't have the whole day , he then sighed and told me that .
Why was his mood changing so quickly, how weird .
We finished eating i had my fill and we were just heading to the backyard when a male voice came from the direction of the stairs saying : oh, isn't that the F Rank hero, that everyone in the guild was talking about ? .
I looked to where the stairs where and saw middle aged man probably , wearing a black armored vest on a black trousers that was actually gleaming so it must be enchanted or something like that with chains tied all over his hands , with quite rogue facial features and narrowed eyes the most remarkable feature he had was his hairstyle a green haired tomahawk .
I looked up to him and before i even say anything , Regard beat me to it and said : if you don't want to sleep in the marauders street outside you better scram , Blade .
Blade?! , how did he get such a name i thought he was using those chains around his hands to fight , this day is getting weirder by the second .
The man who was called Blade by Regard was struck with shock that left him speechless from the words that Regard spoke but his attitude suddenly shifted 180 degrees as he began saying : why are you so aggressive this beautiful morning mr.Regard , i was only getting to new the newest member to our glorious Adventurer's guild who happens to be quite a celebrity too .
Oh, and you do this kind of welcoming to every newbie who joined the Adventurer's guild before, right ? .
The past is in the past, we are living in a new day and i don't know why are you so guarded against me doing something to him, matter fact i'm here to help him settle in my party, so that he could gain some experience and maybe even a level or two that can help him to rise in Ranks what do you mr.hero,are you in .
He looked towards me when he was saying the last part as if waiting for my answer , i was thinking it through since there was a lot of things related to what the Adventurers do that i was unaware of so joining a party could help me with that , i was considering his offer when Regard used his Presence i was able to tell as with my increased strength i was able to tell that the pressure that i was currently feeling wasn't normal pressure at all, he then began saying : he won't be joining you and your hooligans party not today and not ever , now is your last chance to scram , or else you would need to search for another place to crash in .
Huff, huff, okaay okay huff i heard you loud and clear huff,huff , could you stop bullying the weak now , the man named Blade said while huffing and gritting his teeth and almost kneeling on the ground as hurriedly as he could .
Regard then stopped using his Presence and humphed .
Blade began to walk to the door but before he left he looked in my direction and said : my offer still standing, and even if you don't want to join our party, maybe we could collab in doing some tasks that would be beneficial to the two of us , if you considered my offer to be worthy of your attention, leave me a message at the bar in the Adventurer's guild , where's my manners tell whoever is working at the bar that you want to talk to the C Rank Adventurer Blade Stills , and i will be sure that we come to agreement that will leave both of us satisfied .
Oh, and Mr.Regard , i'm just telling you this out of respect but you shouldn't keep threatening your customers with kicking them out these days, especially since there's a news about a Monsters raid happening soon and i'm respectfully saying this, this place of yours won't be able to afford any mishaps anymore , its state is already in a bad situation as it is , there's no need to make it any worse by kicking out the last 3 or 4 guest that are currently staying in the inn , for your sake not mine , Goodbye , oh nice ribbon Liliana .
He finished what he was saying and directly left , leaving an irritated old man clenching his fist so hard that it began to make cracks sounds, as if their were some bones getting crunched , but he calmed down after a few seconds and told me : be aware of that man he is a human lizard , now come with me .
What is the meaning of a human lizard couldn't he at least clarify some more , but he is already in a bad mode so no need for unnecessary questions, it is not like i was going to join his party after he said that they were a bunch of hooligans and i don't want anything to do with those kind of guys .
We arrived at the backyard of the inn and it was a quite spacious place with weapons stands and a few training dummies and some ranged targets to shoot at , and a huge training grounds, with a spacious sparring ring .
What you are doing, come to the ring , i don't know when he got in the ring but he was calling me to enter it too and i did .
So, show me that sword of yours ? .
I handed the sword to him and he began to inspect it for a minute or two before saying : it's really quite sturdy with this kind of weapon you want need to pick another sword for at least until you reach A Rank but i don't have any experience fighting with this kind of a sword, all i can tell you that its main focus is leaning completely toward attack with its sharpened edge and the ability to swiftly change its attack patterns, i believe the most fighting style that will suit you is a well balanced between speed and Swiftness kind of fighting style which will focus more on hitting your opponent quickly than doing most damage but of course if you were able to have a balanced way to distribute your attributes between the Agility and Strength correctly, you will be able to even finish the battle with only one move but to achieve this kind of mastery you will require to accumulate an abundant amount of fighting experience and that's what you will try to accumulate an increase here , do you understand ? .
I nodded hurriedly and at his words i remembered that i haven't checked on my gains from yesterday all-night training session i held my sword and i used Appraisal and my status window went like this :

....….... .
A swopping 10 points increase in strength and agility and 20 points in stamina in addition to the the enhancement of Troll Force my strength was transformed again in a span of a few hours but is it really just because my starting attributes were weak or because my strength increased by the so much that it allowed me to forcefully increase my status maybe both the reason have contributed to the increased in my stats .
What are you waiting for come and attack me already , and yeah you don't have to say anything i made a mental note yesterday to not underestimate you, so you better be careful after all i will be going all out since a long time ago .
He was using his Battle Aura as he was now coated in a blue Aura that acted like a second skin and mentioned to me with his palm to attack .
I held my sword tightly and didn't hesitate to use Centipede Swiftness and began to sprint towards Regard with wind whistling in my ears i will finish this like yesterday in one blow i slashed towards him who was still standing in his position with uncaring expression on his face and again he he only began to raise his forefinger to parry with .
But this time the whole scene went differently than yesterday i was able to slash at his finger but just as i made contact with the blue Aura on his skin ,the aura flickered for a second and i thought that my attack worked but the next second i was sent back flying towards the wall, luckily it was enhanced by magic or something , as it was able to hold the impact of me crashing into it without much of an issue .
I was fine and no damage was done to me but a few scales from the armor began to fall down , an Epic Ranked armor was damaged like this by one attack from Regard, how strong was he exactly .
Oh, you survived that , very impressive speed and strength you have there but i told you before didn't i, he then vanished from my sight and kept moving around the backyard and i wasn't able to see anything other than the afterimages he left moving from one point to another i stood up and kept looking around for his exact location or from where the attack will be coming from until i heard his voice behind my ears i tried to look backwards but my face was as if it was being held in someone hand the voice was saying : i won't understimate you , but you should also do the same or else bear in mind that the head of yours isn't covered by the armor .
Before he thrashed my face into the wall barrier and kept doing so until my whole face was now covered in blood with most of my teeth being broken and those which didn't break, fell off completely .
You will have to do better than that i know for certain that you are capable of doing so .
I felt so much in pain that even words weren't coming out clearly as i said : Auughhh Iiiiiffffgghhhhsaaaisssoo ( if you said so ) .
Heal , you aren't using the advantages of the sword in your hands and you rush towards your supposed enemy without any plans , as if you are certain that he won't be able to attack you and a mistake like that on the battlefield would only result in your death, so for the next few hours and in the next few days we will be doing this sort of sparring or until you lose your stamina or worse your life .
