The Final 12 Days (8)

- 2 Days Until the Barrier Drops –

For the first time since coming to Genovia, Aoni spent nearly the entire day training with his weapons.

The sole purpose behind this was not only to acclimate to the changes in his body brought about by the rapid increase of stats but also to temper his mind and combat style.

Although he had obtained a wealth of knowledge from his two Swordsmanship passives, they were, in a sense, only a foundation with which the structure of combat experience was missing.

Sure, he could swing Vestr and Austr expertly, attack with multiple strikes, and come in from odd angles, but what good would all that do if he had never been in a fight with a wild monster before?

At present, he was nothing more than a paper tiger, someone who had spent his whole life training for combat but had never actually seen it in person.
