Fearsome Instructor!

"You're pretty smart it seems, And you got quite the skills, But a skilled adventurer will never beat an experienced one!"

*Fwishh* *Clank*

Stone was pushed back flying again, He fixed his posture mid-air planning to land and Dash immediately!

Alas, the Instructor already Vanished.

Stone used all his senses trying to at least guess where he will strike.

Suddenly he felt danger from his right, He rotated mid-air and fixed his sword to a blocking posture.

*Slash*

yes, it's a Slash, not a Clank.

Stone Dropped to the ground Holding his back.

'Ugh, Fuck he changed his trajectory mid-strike!'

"Good intuition, But that's still not enough!" The Instructor's voice reached Stone's ear from every direction.

'Fuck it!' Stone endured the pain and got up he clenched his Blade and took his fighting posture.

He used his senses again and was waiting for the Instructor to make his move.

*Slash* *Clank* *Slash*

*Plop*

"Not bad, you blocked one, you're improving at a monstrous rate!"

'Urgh, Shit, Gotta got up!' Stone forced his badly injured body to get up and took his posture yet again.

*Swishh* *Clank* *Slash* *Clank* *Clank*

"Haha, not bad, not bad at all!"

*Fwwwsh* *Boom*

Stone Dashed towards an unknown direction and used his Slashed.

*Swish*

*Slash*

"What are you doing there little one?" Stone could feel the Instructor putting on a good grin on his face.

He got up yet again and Dashed this time without the skill.

"You're slow!"

*Slash*

'Fuck, I can't Dash anymore otherwise I'll lose my consciousness!'

'I can't fail here, it will be embarrassing to meet Old Kretoss if I do!' Stone decided to stick back to his previous technique, he was pretty confident he could at least block 50% of the strikes, But he knew, he knew that the instructor was merely playing with him and he wasn't using even a Quarter of his power.

"Hoo, I see you want to go full defensive mode again! Not a bad decision."

*Swish* *Clank* *Clank* *Clank* *Slash*

{The Conditions have been met, The Skill [Enhanced Senses] has been learned.}

{The Conditions have been met, The Technique [Defensive Posture] has been learned.}

{[Blade Arts] has been added to your [Weapon and Martial Mastery] Skill.}

{The Skill [Weapon and Martial Mastery] has gained +50 Exp!}

'Good! With this, I can endure a bit more."

"Your aura seems to have been strengthened a bit. Seems like you gained some stats or maybe learned a Technique, That's strange! Welp, Time to increase the difficulty!"

'Shit, You know what Fuck it! I'm fainting!'

*Plop*

"What the heck he fainted already? He gave up, I guess? Welp, Young Emilia give him the potion and tell him to come back here once a week for some fun time, hahaha! See you later." With a wave, the Instructor yawned and left from where he came.

"Understood, Thank you for your time, Instructor Markus"

--------------------

Bright Light Solar System, On a Flying Black Castle, Inside of a huge beautiful room filled with some strange array formations.

A body, as well as a wooden box, suddenly appeared out of a gate that was stationed in the middle of the room.

Some kind of a humanoid entity entered the room lifted the body and the box and left.

After a bit of walking, it entered a Bedroom, placed the body on top of a bed, and then it stood there motionlessly while holding the box.

The Body was Stone!

After around 10 minutes, Stone woke up startled, He wanted to move but he couldn't.

"Don't worry, Host! You're just out of stamina and a got just a bit of HP left."

"Goddess?"

"Yes, Host! I took temporary control of this Robot to help you get here!"

"You've been forcefully kicked out of the world by me because it will be bad for you to stay in that damaged body for too long, and the beds there aren't really the best.

"And although you will get healed by their potions it will take a while, So I decided to transfer you over here.

"Your avatar doesn't disappear there unlike your real body that hides in Space when you transfer over, Although, Humans still didn't publish the advanced portable teleportation devices, Hiding in space is extremely Safe if nothing unexcepted happens."

"Anyways, you've been unconscious for 10 minutes, and you need to wait until your soul heals, It seems like they already gave you the potion but it's not enough so please do take the healing pill."

The Goddess said as she controlled the humanoid robot to open the box, She took a pill and placed it into Stone's mouth, He used all his strength just to swallow and after a while, he started feeling the same warm feeling as last time.

Around 30 minutes later, His body finally healed, This time he was pretty badly injured after all, Mentally, physically, and spiritually.

'Fuck that monster of an Instructor!' Stone cursed in his mind as he got up and headed towards the teleportation room.

---------------------

Meanwhile, In the 'Fantastic World'...

Kretoss entered an empty room where only a chair and a wooden bed could be seen.

"How is he?" Kretoss said looking at Emilia.

"He's been hurt pretty badly by Instructor Markus, And he persisted a lot resulting in him getting injured even more! and I don't really know why Instructor Markus didn't stop fighting even though he was considered to have passed with flying colors once he blocked the first strike." Emilia said as she looked at Stone with worried eyes.

What if he didn't like what happened and decided to not become an adventurer anymore, It's like seeing your golden finger being cut right in front of your eyes, Actually... it is exactly that!

"Now he's been lying on the bed for more than 40 minutes. It's the first time an adventurer got hurt this badly on his test."

"That fucking lazy monster! On top of not wanting to advance to Grade 10 or get the fuck out of this village to make a name for himself, he beat up my one and only friend. I'm fucking butchering his ass tonight!" Kretoss shouted as veins appeared on his forehead while he clenched his hands in anger.

"Calm down, Old Kretoss, I'm fine!" Stone suddenly got up looking as good as new.

"How?!" Emilia shouted as she jumped out of her chair.

"The potion should only take effect after a few hours, So I expected you to wake up in at least a day from now!"

"Haha, I have my ways!" Stone said as he scratched the back of his head while smiling awkwardly.

"Haha, Good Good! As long as you're fine, young friend."

Stone smiles warmly although he didn't hear anything Goddess told him everything that happened while he was unconscious.

Although it was only about how Emilia was overthinking that he decides to not become an adventurer the whole time from the moment he lost consciousness until now, And the words Kretoss said.

Stone looked at Emilia strangely then he titled his head and asked "Did I Pass?"

Although he knew the answer he wasn't sure.

Emilia looked at him for a bit to analyze the question her overthinking slowed down her thinking by a huge deal.

"Ah! Oh yes yes! Actually, you passed the moment you blocked the first strike I just don't know why he didn't stop..." Emilia looked down a bit.

Actually, she already passed the technique to the person in charge of the Guide book, told the Adventurer ID makers to make one for Stone as it takes a long time, as well as, she told the other receptionists about how he passed the test and they were so surprised they shouted every time they heard an uncommon info.

Every single Adventure heard them and for those that didn't, they were told by the ones that did.

He was fated to become a monster as strong as that Markus guy or stronger and that left the receptionists about to explode from envy.

Once the Adventurers heard that Stone lasted longer than 1 minute against that monster of an Instructor they were all left with mouths about to fall to the ground from Young to Old, Newbies to Veterans.

They all fought against that guy at least once and they couldn't last longer, Although for those stronger than Stone it was just Markus didn't play around and one-hit beat the shit outta them.

But for Newbies, most of them couldn't even block the first strike, But all of them complained about how it was unfair and wanted a rematch which resulted in them being beaten until they pissed their pants.

But those that had the slightest reaction on the first strike, or blocked at least one strike on the second chance passed.

Leaving that aside Emilia wasn't sure if Stone will join or not, so she was really anxious and looked at Stone with puppy eyes.

"Don't worry I'm not going anywhere!" Stone said with a smile, It was funny how she looked at him.

Emilia smiled warmly and said.

"Your Adventurer ID will be ready by tomorrow. And Lastly, Welcome to the Adventurer Guild, Mister Stone!"

then she turned around and got out of the room.
