7 Urumi

As I opened my eyes, the figure appeared in front of my vision was the infirmary nurse. Crossing her arms, she looked at me, her eyebrows furrowed and her eyes squinting at me.

"Cadet Jadel, this is your second time coming to the infirmary with the same cause," she said, her tone irritated.

"I'm sorry" I tried to apologize, but it didn't work.

"I don't need your sorry; if it happens once again, I can assure you will be kicked out of the academy. We don't need incompetent people who can't follow a few rules. This is your last warning. Don't do this again. You got it?"

"Yes"

"The guys that beat you down will get their punishments. And I can assume that you are not the one who started this fight first, right?"

"No, no, I'm not the one that started."

"Good, then you can leave now."

"Yes"

'Wait! How did she know that? And who did take me to the infirmary? Well, some instructors must have found me'

.....

"Fuck man, all the bad things Jadel did, I was one that took all the after effect" Grumbling, I walked through the hallway.

Opening the door to my room, I entered it and went straight to bed. Thinking about all the things that happened today, I slowly closed my eyes and slept.

Well, I tried to, but I couldn't sleep at all. I twisted and turned from side to side to sleep comfortably, but I couldn't.

'What's this sudden feeling? As if someone is urging me to get stronger and don't waste time, and my body is itching all over for training' I thought as the feeling started to overwhelm me.

It's not my feeling; it's Jadel's feeling, but at the same time I feel like it's not; it's quite complicated that I can't understand it; it's like a third party is influencing me.

"SHIT! I will just train and get the feeling out of my head." Changing my clothes, I began to head to the training ground.

Entering the training ground, I walked straight to the VR facility.

The one problem that arises for the hunters when growing stronger is time. Time is the one thing that won't stop for anyone, and every hunter has a different growth speed. So, like, a solution for that VR training facility arrived.

One can use VR training three times a day. With VR training, you can hone your skills and martial arts way faster with much less time, and it's a 99.9% replica of the real world.

My goal is to use my innate skills and develop low-ranking skills that are perfect for battles since I can't use powerful magic or skills and can't increase my rank faster. The only option I have is to train martial arts and obtain or create skills that complement my martial arts techniques.

'One time is 2 hours, huh, then I'll combine my three times'

The exterior design looked like a capsule, approaching the VR I placed my watch on the small screen. Upon contact, the VR screen scanned my watch, and with a wzoo sound, the door opened, revealing the inside. Inside the VR, there is a sofa chair and a helmet with a cable connected to them.

Upon entering, I sat on the chair, and the door closed automatically. I put the helmet on.

"Activate"

[System activating]

I heard a melodious voice from the system.

[The system will activate in 10, 9, 8, 7,... 2, 1, 0]

My vision dimmed gradually as the countdown went down; as it hit zero, it became fully dark.

Wzom!

With a sound, I entered a white room; more specifically, it was my mind that entered. The VR was a complicated technology; it scans our brain's electrical signals, then scans the body, and lastly, with a weird rune, it will scan our mana core. Then the VR will create an exact copy of you and put this in the VR world. With the brain's electric signals working for the copy, we will be able to move.

'Jadel was a science geek, and he liked making different technologies and gadgets, so he knows a lot of technology knowledge.'

[Welcome, Cadet Jadel] As my thoughts wondered about Jadel, I heard the system's melodious voice. Turning around, I saw a stunningly beautiful woman with white hair and golden eyes wearing a white robe.

[What would you like to choose as a weapon?] The system asked

"Daggers," a holographic screen appeared in front of me to choose dagger models. Thinking a bit more, I asked the system.

"I need a sword and… a urumi."

[Okay.] This time, the holographic screen expanded slightly, showing swords and urumis. I picked a black katana and a black Urumi that is 15 meters long.

"Start it"

[Yes]

With those words, my space was distorted as I was sent into another place that was filled with training dummies. You may ask what the use of dummies is if there is another practice ground. For your answer, 2 hours is equivalent to 7 hours in here, meaning you can train more in this world with a short amount of time.

"21 hours, huh? My mind does not reject the training like I used to; what happened at that time!?"

"Should I start then" I took out my Urumi and swung it " I'm quite powerful in this body, so it might take some time." Although I was a coward on normal earth, I was quite a martial arts fanatic. I learned sword art and kalaripayattu. Kalaripayattu was an ancient martial art, the first martial art in the world. Developed in India, Kerala. Kung fu and jiu jitsu are created based on that.

When I went on a trip to India, I visited a state called Kerala and saw Kalaripayattu, finding it by a mere coincidence, and when I saw that, I was quite amazed by the martial art master's way of using Urumi. I stayed in India for 3 years to learn. After coming to the United States, California, my homeland, I practiced this for ten years and became a master.

"I can vividly remember everything. Man, thinking about using this weapon in an awakened body, I can hardly contain my excitement."

Controlling my excitement, I practiced it.
