Chapter 11: Weapon of choice 2

The weapons classes was a compulsory class for the Melee, Assasin and Guardian type hunters but was an optional class for the rest and some of these students had decided to take the weapons classes one of them been Jack. The new students had just come in and they quickly selected their weapons before joining the rest of the class.

"Nolan here is in charge of the ones with a defensive weapon while Lance will be in charge of those with a long range weapons such as spears and whips while I will be in charge of those with a short range weapons" Lee said pointing towards the two other teachers. The class started soon as they separated into three different classes.

"Hey Kieran!!" Jack called out as he walked over holding a longsword "Wow is that supposed to be your weapon of choice" he said pointing at Kieran's one handed axe

"Yeah you got a problem with it " Kieran replied flinging the axe onto his shoulder flinching from the weight of the weapon.

"Haha look around you for once every single person has picked a sword, swords are cool"

Jack said

"So what and swords aren't that cool" Kieran replied

"Well axes definitely aren't so just pointing that out " Jack replied with a grin

"Will you just stop we are meant to be in class "Kieran replied walking away from Jack and towards a training dummy, he was to take strikes at it to get used to the weight of the axe.

The classes had begun and the teachers where going round the classes correcting the students mistakes and teaching them a few things about their weapons. Kieran had been taking swings at the dummy for a while and he was covered in sweat his breathing was hoarse as he continued on with the swings. The axe was a pretty heavy weapon for someone of Kieran's strength so he needed to get used to it's weight if he wanted any chance of using it in combat.

"Are you sure that weapon isn't to much for you" Lee asked walking over " you aren't the muscular type"

"No I like it this way, besides once I get used to it's weight I will be able to use it freely" Kieran replied

"What you are holding right now isn't even a beast weapon it's just a special tool we use to train you kids in place of standard beast weapons" Lee said "if you can't handle it's weight this weapon how would you withstand the weight of a top tier beast axe so I will ask again are you sure the axe is really what you want you still have time you could change it to a sword that way I would be able to teach you sword techniques but I don't use an axe so I can't teach you it's techniques you are going to have to learn them yourself"

"Umm " hesitation was evident in his voice as he looked down at the axe and back at the rack on the wall where the sword were hung " Still a no I would rather go with what I want and I would learn the techniques myself" Kieran replied with a determined expression

"Okay then you could go to the library search through the weapons techniques section you might find one that fits your weapon" Lee said as a smile crept up his face while he walked away.

" The library huh" Kieran said as he continued with his swings.

At the end of the class Kieran had already gotten used to the weight of the axe and was already able to swing the axe thirty times without his hands throbbing.

Walking out of the building Kieran and Jack headed towards their rooms combat classes wasn't an every day class so they had the rest of the day to themselves.

"Hey Kieran how about we head over to the game center we have the rest of the day to ourselves you know" Jack asked walking backwards while starring at Kieran.

"I wanted to head to the library to see if I could get one or two techniques that involves an axe " Kieran replied starring in the direction of the library

"What about our weapon teachers they are the ones who would teach us weapons techniques you don't have to do all that" Jack replied with a confused look.

"Well Mr Lee is a sword user he said he doesn't know any techniques involving axes and can't teach me what he doesn't know the same goes for the other two so he said I should head over to the library to find some" Kieran replied

"You could just change your weapon to a sword but no you don't want that you are so stubborn "Jack said

"Alright then let's meet later hope you find your axe techniques but one thing I know is that sword techniques would still be better" Jack said as they headed in separate directions.
