Chapter 13 - [Dream]
The gambling goddess, the one who reincarnated me and played with my destiny, is now in front of me again, "what happened? I died again?" I ask her, 'did I die in my sleep? Was I murdered? '
Celine, "no dear, you are very alive, I wanted to explain the gift I gave you for playing with me, first [dream] this ability will help you and your brothers to get stronger with training, every time before sleep think about activating the ability and you will enter this realm of dreams, a soul from another world will teach you to fight, who? You will find out later". Celine pauses to let me absorb the information she gave me.
Celine, "how much the skills with [???] Hehe it's up to you to find out, that was bye bye Merlin" Celine had fun talking and then disappeared into a flash of light.
I found myself alone in this kingdom?, I look around me before a blinding beam of light takes my sight, with the dimming light I open my eyes slowly.
I see a man standing in front of me he has short blonde hair and green eyes. He has the height and weight of a normal man in his 20. He looks composed, he wears the standard armor of a knight. The pieces of armor are in silver color. While the tunics part are blue. He carries with him a long golden sword.
Unknown, "so are you the one I have to teach? Where are my manners, my name is Arthur Pendragon, I will be your master in the way of the sword" Arthur spoke calmly to me.
I'm a little bit in shock and excited at the same time that I'm going to learn with Saber from Fate/Prototype.
I take a while to answer, thinking about what just happened my meeting with Celine and now Arthur teaching me. There's not much to say, I'm happy to learn from him.
Merlin, "thank you for teaching me master" I told him excited to start.
Arthur, "let's not delay then, the best teacher is the experience" Arthur gave me a funny smile and threw me a training sword, he made his golden sword turn into a training sword like mine.
Merlin, 'I have a bad feeling about this' I don't have time to think when Arthur comes running to me.
_______
Merlin, "Ughhh" woke up feeling a phantom pain all over his body, Arthur swept the floor with me, he didn't just hit me, he gave me tips between the blows I took, little by little I was correcting my posture, and I managed to defend some blows from the thousands I suffered.
I couldn't use my magic, Arthur came to me so fast that I didn't even have time to Activate, he told me it's better for me to improve my techniques before I start implementing my magic so as not to become dependent on it, I agreed with him.
All in all it was a great day of training, slowly getting out of bed because of the pain in my body, I went to the bathroom, took a quick shower, brushed my teeth and left my room.
Looking to the side I see that Nier and Leone left the room at the same time as me, they had a dark face, I can guess that they went through the same torture as me.
Merlin, "who are your masters?" I asked them
Leone looks at me with a dead face, "Might Guy, he took every piece of my YOUTH!, Ahhhh I can still hear him" Leone rubbed his head, trying to get rid of the influence of YOUTH.
Leone has achieved a good master as eccentric as Guy he is, he is the best in close combat in Naruto, Nier can create something with his help.
Nier murmurs something that I can't hear.
Merlin, "What did you say Nier? I can't hear you".
Nier murmurs softly again and this time I listen, "hisoka... "
I look at him with pity, I can't imagine what he must have gone through with that clown, but on the other hand he's the best master for Nier, he can teach him how to be a killer and how to use better buggie gum.
Merlin, "my master is Arthur Pendragon" Nier and Leone look at me with betrayed looks, I read the unspoken question in their eyes, 'why is your master a normal guy and ours are crazy?' I just shrug my shoulders and start walking towards the common room.
Entering the room I saw Athena sitting on a sofa reading a book and drinking tea, she raised her eyes to me with great reluctance in her actions of dropping the book.
Athena, "Good morning, did you sleep well?" she asks us with a smile.
I shivered remembering my training with Arthur, forced a smile on my face, "yes, we are still getting used to the environment" Nier and Leone agree behind me.
We decided not to cut athena over the kingdom of dreams, it would be very complicated to explain about our masters, it could reveal to athena that we are not from this world, and we are not ready to tell others.
Athena agrees and continues, "what are the plans for today?"
Merlin, "I think we'll buy equipment for ourselves and then go to Dungeoneering.
Athena, "I wanted to give you more money for the equipment, but only 40,000 valis was left from the staff in Riveria, the house I had built spent all the money."
Merlin, "with the money we had before we have a total of 80,000 valis, it's enough to buy some equipment that will last until the beginning intermediate floors" I concluded thinking about our expenses.
Athena agreed with me, "I will go with Ahri the guild to start the procedures to open the magic store that I had in mind".
I agreed with Athena and then we separated in two groups, leaving the Loki mansion, we walked towards the tower of Babel, our destination was the upper floors for the weapons market.
We walked slowly by orario enjoying the view to our destination, reaching the tower I stopped a moment to admire it, a huge building that pierces the clouds, the gods really know how to do something incredible.
Entering the tower, we went up the elevator to the 8th floor, when the door opened we saw a corridor full of weapons, blacksmiths selling their work and adventurers looking for a good weapon.
I divided the money between us 3, and we separated to look around, it took me an hour to find something I liked, a simple black sword, but very well made and with great weight, I bought it and a light black armor, chest piece, arms and legs. The armor is not heavy and does not restrict my movements too much, I bought a black cloak that went to my knees similar to the Hokage robe, made of wyvern scales, of a great resistance against fire and a good defense.
Wearing my armor completely, with my sword at my waist, I can't help but admire myself, "Holy gods, I got really badass, this is how the Hokage feels wearing his cloak? I can understand the feeling".
I stopped admiring myself and went to check my brothers, I found Leone dressed in a silver plate armor similar to mine, under a red leather mesh belonging to some monster, but what stood out the most was his big red gauntlets, which stretched to the elbow, looked a bit like Issei's boosted gear in DxD, but without the green stone in the handle.
Merlin, "I see you decided to go with gauntlets, it's a good idea considering your power" I approached him and commented.
Leone, "it's no weapon, but I feel it will work better for me."
As Leone and I talked, Nier approached us and wouldn't have even realized it was him, wearing a hood that hid his face along with a cape that covered his back and chest going all the way below the waist, wearing a light black armor on his chest, arms and legs, underneath the armor had a monster leather mesh, his belt had 4 throwing knives and two long daggers with pink handles on the back of his belt. I have a feeling that it's not all the knives he has.
Leone analyzed Nier and talked to him, "gee, you're scary, remind me not to bother you today."
Merlin, "good choice Nier, definitely a killer" told Nier by lifting a thumb for him.
Nier, "Thanks, can we go down to the dungeon?"
Leone, "hell yes! I want to test these little beauties"
Merlin "come on, I want to see the results of my training".
Taking our backpacks, with our previous clothes and potions we bought on the way, we made our way to the second floor of the dungeon.
