White fluffy clouds moved with currents of the wind, shifting directions at any moment.
"Now, I will instruct you about combat mechanics. Chirp!" Wren perched its tiny claws on a wooden bird stand.
"Excieo Telum! Chirp!" Wren waved its wing. A bright white light illuminated in front of Wren. A wooden staff and a wooden one-hand sword formed from the light.
"Here. Wield these weapons. Chirp!" The weapons floating, and moved swiftly towards Terrell and Eirwyn and landed on their feet.
"Hey, can you hand it over us properly?" Eirwyn caviled to Wren, and he picked up the sword.
"Woah! This is awesome!" Terrell was elated and held the staff with his two hands.
A window appeared in front of them as they wield the weapons.

The emotions Terrell and Eirwyn were ecstatic, they felt the fervor. The blood in their veins boiling as if they couldn't control their excitement within their bodies.
They never knew that this very moment was the beginning of their journey.
"Excieo Phantasma! Chirp" Wren flapped its wing.
Bright white light flashed. Particles of light formed two wooden dummies. They were positioned like 'T'.
Terrell and Eirwyn stood in front of dummies made of dark, sturdy wood.
"Hold on to your weapons. Chirp! Now, I teach you about basic attacks. Try to strike the dummy with your weapons and all your might! Chirp!" Wren ordered the two.
"I'll go first." Terrell smiled and was excited as he stepped forward.
Terrell held his staff very tightly. His right foot stumped on the ground. His body burst forth as he thrust and aimed towards the torso of the dummy with his strength.
Green health bars appeared both of the heads of Terrell and the dummy.
A window appeared in front of him.
'Cling!'

Terrell's staff struck the dummy heavily. A loud thud reverberated on the training camp.
Crimson colored digits appeared on the head of the dummy.
- 1203!
Terrell stepped back as he saw the huge damage, he beamed with delight. Eirwyn gasped.
"Nice! A critical hit! For a beginner, you do very well, Stormgarde! Chirp chirp chirp!" Wren praised Terrell.
"Hah hah. Yeah, thanks." Terrell panted and smiled.
"It is my turn then." Eirwyn walked towards his dummy.
Eirwyn gripped the sword with his right hand stiffly and took a stance. He shifted his right foot forward then ran swiftly to gain momentum. He held his sword over his head and slashed to the right temple dummy.
Crimson colored numbers appeared.
- 331!
Eirwyn grinned inwardly. He was still unsatisfied. He shifted his arm as swung his sword sideways and struck the left temple of the dummy.
Crimson colored texts showed up.
- 328!
Eirwyn jumped back and withdrew his sword. He pounced and stabbed his sword forward to the right chest of the dummy.
Crimson colored text appeared.
- 330!
Eirwyn thought it was enough and he stopped. He breathes inwardly and then exhaled heavily.
"Phew, did you saw that?" Eirwyn smiled proudly.
"Good job, Frostblade! Your technique execution was indeed great! Chirp!" Wren also praised Eirwyn.
"Both of your performances exceeds within my expectations! Chirp!" Wren concluded the demonstration.
"Oh, I just executed a technique? I didn't know about that." Eirwyn confused.
"In fact, you exactly performed three of the basic strikes of modern Eskrima. Chirp!" Wren justified.
"But, I actually didn't know." Eirwyn scratched his head.
"As I said before, the system aided you to execute techniques, and you had done it without even fail. Chirp!" Wren explained.
"Your basic attacks depends on your attributes and the weapon you wield. Your basic attack power increases as you wield better weapons. Allocate your attributes wisely to maximize your combat ability Chirp!"
"Frostblade, you utilize your technique and dished out better damage output than Stormgarde who attacked once only with brute force. Therefore, techniques augment with your raw combat power and increase the damage you can inflict to your opponent. Chirp!"
"I observed that you are able to exert critical damage, it means you hit the vital points. Critical chance and critical damage are based on your attributes. Furthermore, critical chance greatly increases as you deal damage on vital points of your opponent. Critical chance is not entirely random; consequently, the critical chance reduces significantly as you deal a critical damage, and critical chance increases if critical strike damage does not occur. Chirp!"
"When a player entered combat state, health bars will appear above the head. Hostile targets will also display their own health bars and their description window. Additionally, when a player enters the aggro range of a hostile entity, they both automatically enter the combat state. Chirp!"
Terrell and Eirwyn listened closely to Wren.
"Now moving on to the next lesson!" Wren flapped its wing.
"Excieo Phantasma Armatus!"
