Weapon class

News quickly spread in the military of a first year student defeating a 2nd year student.And not only was it an ordinary 2nd year but the third genius of the Raidens family,while a second news of the son of the supreme commander;Erian Celestria himself, being the challenger.

Vather slowly head back beside him was a young tanned man with red hair,who had a big smile in his face.

"Seriously Vather,where did you go that make you that strong,is it related to your disappearance from the base."Liam asked as he looked at the young man before him wondering how he could defeat a second year while being a first year like himself.

Although Liam himself was a genius from the Burnes family,it still wasn't to the level of defeating a peak meridian forging stage cultivator as an early meridian forging.

"The trip was partly responsible for the quick growth and that was thanks to my master."Vather said as he couldn't help but feel good about himself,but he knew his fight with Jim was just a facade.Compared to his future strength enough to battle the devirs,compared to the power of his enemies clan, he's still nothing.So he was quick to remove the arrogance from his head.

Vather's watch beeped as a notification was sent to it

-You are having a weapon class in the next 30 minutes [ Optional]-

Vather looked at the message as he was surprised by the optional info he saw at the end of the message.'

It seems a lot has changed since I left,'Vather thought to himself as he asked Liam beside him what the Optional info meant.

"For some reason, there's been a type of rush in the military syllabus as they now pay more focus on the students getting stronger at about three times in intensity.Even my family notified me of using my time here to get stronger as fast as I can.I can only link this to a major change happening in the war with the devirs.So some classes which are not believed to increase the students strength directly are now Optional.Meaning you can choose to attend the class if you like."Liam said as he wore a serious expression on his face.

"Then are you attending the weapon classes"Vather asked in curiosity as he could increase his weapon cultivation by dueling with Liam.

"I'm not.I don't use weapons as my fire elements is my greatest weapon.We elementalist don't need them as coating our bodies in elements will make us ten times more destructive than a weapon.The weapons are for those who have no elements like the strength based abilities making use of heavy swords or the speed ability making use of daggers.It's strange seeing you a light element user making use of a spear,most light elementalist are females so they make use of Arrows the most.For me I'll be okay,if I'm using a pair of gauntlets."Liam said not thinking about it too much,showing his lack of interest in the weapon class.

"So what class are you attending now."Vather asked as he already made up his mind to attend the weapon class.He isn't the one to skip a class as all information he gets might one day turn to be incredibly useful.

"I'm going to a fire cultivation grounds."

"And what's a fire cultivation grounds?"Vather asked with a strange look as he's never heard of this ype of class before.

"You've never heard of it, before?.It seems you weren't really in the school since all this while.There've been plenty of new cultivation grounds present in the military that increases your strength.An example is the different elementalist grounds in the school.In the fire elementalist grounds, you'll find pure dimensional energy which is more inclined to fire like cultivating near a volcano might be a nice option for a fire elementalist and a bad place for a water elementalist.Absorbing those type of dimensional energy will leads to a quick increase in the rise of cultivation for a fire user,and it also makes their element stronger.Although you'll be charged points for that.You should check it out sometime Vather,it will be especially useful for you if you go to that for the light element."

"Yeah, I'll check it out" Vather said as he was definitely the one in need of it the most.The dimensional energy present in his home won't be able to feed his three bloodlines. Cultivating in a place with more attunement to his bloodline will lead to a great increase in his cultivation,as that will also him in quickly perfecting his core."

"And don't forget to check out the elementalist class.It's for the training of those with elements.You'll find others with your elements in the class and you'll be thought how to increase the effectiveness of your elements,areas where it's better applied and many more.It's the place we go instead of the weapon class.I hope I'll meet you there next time.Ok,see you around" Liam said as he moved towards the opposite direction where Vather was moving.

Vather also left after waving as he promised himself to check out all the new places, but for know he had a class to attend.

-- -- --

Moving towards the direction pointed out by the arrow on his holographic watch, Vather soon arrived before a military structure as he immediately entered into the place.He could see many other students present in the place as he took a seat on the bare wooden ground.

A middle aged woman clad in military dress with flowing pink hair slowly entered into the place.Bringing with her a calm and somewhat peaceful Aura.

She slowly stood in front of them as she began the class."A weapon as I always say is a cultivation of its own.It's the extension of a fighter himself but going deeper, it's an extension of the soul.The will of the weapon is the will of the fighter.Not only is it very effective against our enemies,the devirs,as reports have shown that the devirs are a brute race who fight with pure force.They only use their claws and feet's to fight.Having a good weapon has been noted to help fight them well,a good reason of you learning a weapon.And now with the increase in technologies,there are now different levels of weapon as some can blow up an entire house if gently slapped on them.But we will be using something more harmless." She said as slowly tapped on her holographic watch as different racks of weapons appeared on the walls present in the classes.

"Go ahead, take your pick". All the students immediately move to the racks as they all took what their weapon is.

Even though Vather had his spear,he still went ahead and choose the most ignored weapon in the class,the bow.

He could see the strange look giving to him as a bow won't help much in a one one fights between the students in the class as they only have a distance of ten feet between each other.How many distance will you be able to gain in such a small distance,and will your opponent even allow you to shoot.

The woman nodded as she saw what everyone's choice was.Majority of the students choose the swords,some sabers,some chose the spear and many other strange weapons.But very few chose a bow.

"Know that planning to use a weapon,you must always familiarize yourself with it unless you want to see your own weapon used against you by your enemies.

Now the best way we will be taking to test your understanding of the weapon is a little harmless spar.The weapons are all blunt so I won't be expecting too much injury.The match will be called off if I think you've lost and don't worry I'm a pretty good weapon user.While I can't say am good in all weapons.I can send you on your knees quickly with your own weapons.Now for those with elements, they're not allowed in the class as it's called the weapon class, we're sticking to using only weapons.Ok any volunteers"she asked with a smile

Some students quickly came up as they stood with their weapons in hand ready to display their understanding of it with a spar.

"You can come out and choose a person to spar with and I'll give you ideas which will help improve your understanding of it.Ok let's begin"

Sound of weapon clashing rang out in the hall as the students slowly came out and a spar quickly ensued between them.

No one wanted to spar with a bow user as they thought he'll be easily defeated and so Vather was left to be almost the last and in the end chosen to spar with the last students who also hasn't spared yet.A young man who uses a heavy sword.
