Lycanthrope Adept
[+1 Strength]
It was weekdays once again and the classes started. He went to the Lycanthrope halls and trained once again.
Doing his practice before the exam was important. And so he did practice with his weapon for the test. He was early and so the training ground was still desolate and empty.
He smashed the target dummy with his weapon and he did some attacks that were fast and packed with several kilograms of weight.
He made rotating maneuvers that were difficult even for veteran combatants to do and he did it with just small numbers of physique stats.
He was sweaty after a few minutes of practicing and then stopped to rest when more examinees arrived.
He will take the test again but this time, he will be stronger and faster. It was foolish of him to take it without the skills needed for the task.
And so, with greater prowess, he tried once again. Entering the halls, he went to the desk and asked for a second chance of taking the exam.
"Hello sir, I will take the exam once again sir!" Lumiel said with confidence.
"Again? Are you perhaps stronger now?" he asked.
"Yes!" Lumiel said energetically, voice loud and clear.
"Okay, then we will prepare for the exam," he replied as he wrote something on the paper.
Lumiel went outside and then prepared for it. He went stretching and then warmed up for the battle.
His instructor was already ready at the testing area with his practice weapon.
Lumiel grabbed the staff and then faced him on the grounds. This time, it was the same instructor that defeated him. The build was obvious that it was him.
Lumiel then readied with his stance. The enemy chuckled after he remembered the defeat of his enemy.
Lumiel can only click his tongue in annoyance.
"Ready! Go!" said the coordinator.
The two then ran toward each other. Lumiel rotated his staff and his enemy prepared to slash his two-handed sword. Their weapons clashed and Lumiel handled his staff with speed and finesse. Sliding his staff on his weapon then stabbed him in the chest.
Uhuk!
The instructor was having problems deflecting his blows. Lumiel was smashing his weapon harder and faster for him to have an advantage but it all ended when the instructor was annoyed.
He then changed to werewolf form and dashed towards him. Being taller than Lumiel, he has to duck to attack him. Lumiel on the contrary made it an advantage for him.
The instructor then used bite skill and Lumiel blocked it with his staff. Nearly snapping it to two, Lumiel then knee-kicked him in the throat. Making him yelp in the pain.
The enemy then backed several steps then pounced once again. Lumiel then stood ready for his attack. He used a Claw slash on him and then Lumiel sidestepped away from the claws. With his hands held on his weapon, he stabbed him once again in the chest. Making a thudding sound in the process.
Lumiel dealt damage to him and his enemy's attack was countered. Waiting for the skill to cool down, he slashed with his claws, and Lumiel was alarmed.
The enemy was aggravated and angered. He didn't think that Lumiel was so slippery when he has the skill of Reaction sensitivity.
He then clawed and thrashed around to just injure Lumiel but he was able to dodge his attacks. Lumiel then used his skill Werewolf guardian. Which emerged a spirit on his back that attacks when Arthas attacks.
He smashed with his weapon and the werewolf guardian clawed too. Making the instructor battered with blows.
The instructor didn't plan to back down from the challenge and so, he retaliated. Blow by blow, clawing and battering each other with their paws. Arthas then rotated and kicked him. Then smashing him with a vertical smash with his pole weapon.
The instructor then was hit on the forehead and he collapsed with his health points depleted.
"Lumiel is the winner! You will be rewarded with 2 skill pages!" the coordinator shouted.
Lumiel then rested while his opponent drank a health potion. They rested and Lumiel was handed 2 with skill pages. Primarily, the "Skill: Multiply and disperse" and "Skill: Regenerate companions".
Lumiel then looked at the skill pages then put them inside his skill book.

On his second test, he will battle a stronger opponent. At that, his opponent appeared. He was tall and his hands were bigger than anyone he ever saw. With a pelt on his shoulders, he was like a bear and the wolf cap was small compared to his head.
He approached Lumiel and he was towering compared to him. Lumiel was looking up when their eyes met.
"Hey kid, are you the one who defeated Asmond? Good! I am Thrall, I look forward to how great of a Lycan warrior you are!" he said.
"I am Lumiel, nice to meet you. I look forward to our battle," Lumiel said to him.
For Lumiel, he will be a good opponent. Better than Asmond he guessed. But normally, he was stronger. He would have to guess how far the difference was.
The two then faced each other and then Thrall was already emitting a miasma of green. With the signal, he dashed toward him and Lumiel rotated his weapon on one side and the other side.
Thrall then punched him and Lumiel blocked his staff. His weapon nearly bent with the impact. He immediately stepped back to alleviate the shock that crept through his body.
His enemy then dashed and slammed his arm on Lumiel. Lumiel blocked with his staff and his strength was not enough to stop his arms from reaching his neck.
He was smashed on the neck and slammed to the ground.
Bang!
Lumiel nearly blacked out with the impact. He opened his eyes and then flipped backward. He then wiped the blood in the corner of his mouth and spat the blood. He then faced him with a more serious look.
With the enemy cracking his knuckles, he then transformed into a werewolf. Lumiel was alarmed. He will have to be faster than before and the werewolf form has a buff on attack speed and reaction speed. He will be in greater danger than before.
Lumiel then transformed into a werewolf to cope with his shortcomings in speed. He then brawled out with the enemy and they attacked with their claws.
Lumiel used his all to deal damage but he was damaged too with his enemy having greater speed. It was then, Lumiel focused on evading, and luckily, his enemy's attacks were evaded in hair's breadth. He was cautious with his enemy's attacks and countered when he had a chance.
His experience in battle was rich and it proved that he was a grandmaster. He outplayed his enemy with his tricks.
His enemy's health was depleted and he had a small amount that remained. The opponent then stood up and offered his hands. Lumiel accepted his hand and they shook each other's hands.
"You have bested me in battle. You are worthy of the title Lycan warrior. Your reward awaits," Thrall said to him.
It was then, Thurin was given 2 skill pages. Primarily, the "Skill: Share vision" and "Skill: Pack mastery". He read the inscriptions and then put them in his skill book. The book then glowed with each book being put in.
