After the Tragedy 8

Soon the guards brought the weapons and a set of training armor to Jack, they set the targets, and Max was proud to see his subordinates fixing everything without him having to send it.

"Okay, Jack, what weapons did you learn to use while you were a hunter?"

"I learned to use the bow well, and I also learned to use the sword and shield to protect myself, but my training was to fight animals."

"Okay, if you learn well you just need more training to learn how to use your skills to fight humans."

"Okay, let's first see your bow skills, which should be what you learned best."

Jack took one of the bows that seemed best to use and took a quiver that had some arrows, the guards arranged the targets for medium-range and long-range, but even the long-range was not as far as Jack had trained.

Jack had not trained well with targets and knew better how to use the instinctive shot that was better for hunting, but of course, with experience in hunting fast-moving animals, he had excellent aim.

Jack prepared for a while and calmed down forgetting about the guards and soldiers who were watching his performance, Jack took an arrow from the quiver and in a few seconds positioned himself to fire the arrow.

The guards and soldiers who were good archers realized the skill and experience that Jack had using the bow, Jack concentrated and hit the target, but away from the middle, some guards were disappointed hoping that Jack would hit in the middle of the target.

Jack was not nervous and fired several arrows hitting all medium and long-range targets, few arrows hit the middle of the target, but all the arrows hit the targets and Jack did everything quickly using all the arrows in the quiver.

Only those who knew hunters better knew that their goal was to hit the target quickly, they didn't need to know how to hit the center of the target because the center of an animal's head was rarely a vital point.

Max, who was watching this, was impressed by the skill and calm that Jack had even with so many people watching, that was enough for Max to ensure that Jack had experience as a hunter.

"Very well, Jack, I saw your skill with the bow and you are very good as I expected, now we will test your skills using the sword."

Jack was still calm and a wooden sword was given so that Jack could show what he knew with the sword, the guards were preparing to use real swords, but Max did not like his guards taking any chances in training.

Jack trained using a wooden sword when he fought Ron sometimes, so he was used to fighting, the guard who was fighting Jack was not one of the best using the sword because Max didn't expect Jack to be good at using the sword when fighting humans how he trained to fight animals.

The guard tried a common attack and Jack soon defended himself with the sword and then pushed the guard using his hands, the fight that Jack learned from Ron was using not only the sword but using his body as well, he could push, kick and just use the sword against the opponent.

The guard was surprised when he was pushed, but he had also trained like this, after all, in a war, a warrior could not expect the opponent to fight with elegance using the sword, only knights cared more about honor than life and had the skill to fight with elegance using only the sword.

Jack and the guard fought for a few moments and Jack hit the guard a few times with the sword and kicked and never got hit, so Max was surprised by Jack's sword skills and thought he had the right decision to take him from prison.

"Okay, Jack, with your skill using the sword you can fight the other soldiers without training, of course, you still need to learn to follow the commanders' rules and orders and you need to learn discipline."

"In the first few months you will train with the other soldiers and guards here in the city and you are not allowed to leave this defense tower when you learn everything you need you will be sent to do missions with the other soldiers and you can even be sent to the Royal road."

"Thanks for the opportunity, captain."

After that some guards who always watched Jack in prison came to talk to him, Jack was happy to be accepted quickly into the army, the guards and soldiers always supported Captain Max so he was not afraid that Jan Stokes knew that Jack was released from prison.

"I'm glad you were able to get out of prison earlier than you expected Jack, I'm happy for you."

"Thanks for the help, Paul, I was happy to meet you who were friends with my grandfather and met my mother, and I'm really grateful for your help, I really thought I would have to be in prison for several years."

"Okay, Jack, I really wanted to help, I have just one piece of advice to give you, I know you really want to get back at Jan Stokes, but you shouldn't do that right now."

"Even though he did a lot of harm to his family, Jan Stokes is from a noble family and many nobles support him, moreover, he is an important trader here in the kingdom of Andaria, you will not be able to kill Jan now."

"I suggest that you wait a few years, if a war ends up happening or if something very important happens in the kingdom you may have an opportunity to kill Jan, but if you try now in addition to dying you will involve Captain Max who released you."

"I understand Jan, in fact, I don't really feel like killing Jan Stokes, I know he must die for what he did to my mother and why he had my father killed."

"But for me, my father's killers were Luiz and his subordinates, so when I killed them all I managed to get revenge on my father's killers."

"I know I have to kill Jan Stokes because he was responsible for everything, but I can do that a few years ago when a war breaks out or when I can kill him without being discovered."
