Chapter 48: Fighting a Robot

The robot we are fighting is not just strong, it was fast too. The trainee who dodged its war hammer is wielding a great sword using his already weak hands.

Since the other six trainees were wielding weapons of close combat, they tried to defend themselves and the other trainees at best. I distanced myself from the war hammer-wielding robot and took out my bow and started to fire arrow after arrow toward it.

The robot concentrating on the five trainees did not dodge the arrows and all the arrows exploded in its face. I know the defense of the robot cannot be penetrated even by fire strike because my battle power is low.

With the help of the distraction caused by my explosion arrows, the other trainees started attacking the robot. Since we are fighting together for the first time, our combination was not good.

It was very bad that we were in each other's path and all of us couldn't attack the robot together. Just after a minute into the battle, the first trainee fell. He was saved by Hoger on time and was eliminated from the fight.

After the first elimination, the rest of the four trainees fell within two minutes. I being the archer and a distance away from the robot was targeted last by the robot.

I didn't want to use my wind ability at first as I wanted to keep it a secret. But since Hoger already knows it, it means the entire guild with the same and above his level of authority will know the same.

So I started using my wind ability also to keep my distance from the robot and continuously firing arrows at the robot. But even that didn't save me for long. The entire battle ended in less than five minutes.

Looking at Hoger, I can say that he did not expect the fight to go on for five minutes as I was able to see a little surprise on his face. But he regained his posture immediately and gave me a potion to remove my fatigue.

We again fought the robot after five minutes and the result was the same. We were unable to coordinate the attack and got eliminated within five minutes from the start of the battle.

By the end of the training session, we were still not able to last longer than five minutes against the monstrous robot. Once the training session was over, we took a rest for a few minutes before we started back home after taking bath in the guild bathroom.

I went to Joe's house since they will be preparing dinner for me today. I first thought of rejecting it and going home directly, but I was too tired to cook today and went to his house.

Joe was too eager to listen to my entire story of what happened in the guild the entire day. He was shocked to know that Hoger is personally training us.

"He is the leader of the Warrior's guild in this city. If he is personally training you guys, he must have seen a potential candidate among you guys. You are very lucky to be trained by him" Joe said to me.

He was right, Hoger gave us instructions on how we can effectively combat the robot every time we were resting between the battle. He also pointed out our mistakes.

Tomorrow we will be going into the forest to hunt monsters of higher levels to practice the skills and abilities we have learned during the previous day.

After dinner, I left for my house and let Serina out so she could get fresh air. She was cooped up inside me for the whole day. She was not happy since I didn't allow her to come out in Joe's house too.

She still played around me till we reached home. I gave her the monster core for the day and she reluctantly ate it with her food. I started giving her monster meat that is a level higher and she started to cook her food herself.

So I don't have to cook, but just open the meat packet and keep it on her plate and she will take care of the rest. After dinner, I asked her to continue training her wind and fire ability attacks so she will be able to grow her battle power alongside me.

She will not be fighting with us tomorrow, so she can practice her attacks a little longer. She obediently practiced her ability attacks for 2 hours before sleeping on the bed with me.

I woke up early as usual before sunrise. I completed my daily activities and made sure that the mana storage cylinders are full. I didn't want to go into a battle with less mana, so I filled it before going to sleep and checked again in the morning.

I left for the guild after 2 hours. I was the first to reach our team's waiting room. I have already read the fire ability book to make the moves I do use my fire ability even more powerfully.

I started reading the wind ability book given to me by Hoger before the combat training session to see if there are any ways to increase the wind ability moves stronger.

It will take us some time to increase the power of our moves. It might even take us years to make it perfect. Hence most people will stop using the method provided by the ability books after they were able to just understand the ability alone.

Even my entire team decided to do the same and not practice the methods provided in the ability books. But I am different, I will use the methods provided in the ability books to increase my battle power and I have to do it quickly.

I waited for 10 minutes before the first guy came into the meeting room. Seeing me sitting on a corner chair, he sat next to me to see what I was reading on my holo watch.

After 15 minutes all the members of the team arrived. To the surprise, Hoger is the one who will be taking us to the forest to hunt monsters. He finally arrived after ensuring that all the trainees are "
