My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

Chapter 14

A week had passed since Jake's duel with Blade. He had spent most of the week training intensively. The outcome, He finally leveled up to level 3, unlocking a new skill

With his new skill, Jake felt a surge of confidence. He imagined himself taking down opponents with swift, precise attacks. However, he knew mastering Frenzy Strike's timing and control was very important. During training, Jake's lack of skill often got the better of him, wasting the opportunity therefore rendering the skill useless.

As the week drew to a close, Jake felt a sense of accomplishment wash over him. He had leveled up, unlocked a new skill, and gained valuable experience. But what he eagerly anticipated was the first-ever combat training session with Sergeant Lee, a renowned expert in hand-to-hand combat.

Finally it was the day for the Combat class but they have to attend their usual morning homeroom class. After getting their breakfast, they made their way to the homeroom class.

While in the class, Thompson decided to teach more about the current world. And it happens that Jake found the class quite interesting.

"So we all know that the world is under attack of werewolves. So today I'm going to be teaching you about the werewolves strengths, weakness and how to defeat them." Thompson said to which Jake sat up to listen properly.

"So first up, we have to know their strengths. Werewolves are physically stronger than us, they have enhanced speed, strength and even Sense of smell. They grow stronger by eating strong opponents, the more they eat, the more they grow stronger and there's no limit to that."

"This is quite interesting. I need to know more about my enemies in order to defeat them." Jake thought.

"So unto the weakness, they basically have only one weakness and that is an injury to their heart. Once you stab them in their heart, they will be defeated. But it's not going to be easy, because their hides are tough and thick to penetrate. Only someone with a huge number of strength can deal damage to their heart." Thompson explained.

"But if their hides are thick to penetrate, how are we supposed to kill them?" A student asked.

"Good question. It's quite simple actually. That's where beast crystals come in. Crystals that are fished out of the body of a beast." Thompson explained.

"What are beasts or beast crystals?" Vynn asked.

"Well it's not your fault you don't know about it because they are not found on this planet, beasts are found on another planet. So the crystals are what power up the beast, without it, they will lose their lives. So crafting equipment from the beast crystals, can help in penetrating the hide of the werewolves." Thompson explained.

After some more teaching, the class finally ended and Jake received more knowledge about the werewolves and he was one step closer to achieving his goals of defeating the werewolves.

After a few minutes of rest, Jake made his way to the training grounds with Vynn and Peter. On the way going, they were excitedly talking about the Combat class they were going to attend.

"Man, I'm so excited about the class. Finally after so much drill and physical training, we can finally move on to the next phase which is actual fighting techniques." Vynn excitedly said.

"Yeah. I'm so happy too. Maybe after this, I might be able to finally rank up higher." Jake added.

After a few minutes of walking, they finally got to the training grounds and sergeant Lee was already waiting for them there.

When the class was filled up, Lee started the class. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Welcome to today's class. Today I will teach you a basic form of martial art and you are expected to practice it till next week or till you get it perfectly right." Lee said looking at them to see if there was going to be a protest.

"Great. Let's start the class now. So you need to pay attention because I'm only going to be showing you the skill twice so watch me carefully. This technique is called 'The Triple Threat'. It's a simple, effective technique that combines three quick movements to create an opening for attack."

Lee stood in front of the class to demonstrate the technique. Firstly, Lee stepped back and then he made a quick pivot turn and struck forward.

"Now, that was a demonstration without an opponent. Let me show you how the attack looks like with an opponent." Lee said while scanning for a student with a good build that could take a little bit of pain.

After scanning, Lee picked Jack for the demonstration.

"Okay stand here in front of me. And the rest of you, pay attention to see how the skill looks like when you're in front of an opponent." Lee said while facing Jack for the demonstration.

Lee then stepped back to create a distance between him and Jack, that was the first step. Then he made the pivot turn(quickly to the side). Then he made a forward strike.(swiftly strikes Jack).

Jack was unable to quickly react to the strike and he was about to be hit but Lee quickly stopped himself before he hurt him.

"Now, you see how it looks like, let me show you in slow motion and then you will repeat it Yourselves." Lee said staring at the wide mouthed students who were in awe of the skill Lee just displayed.

Lee demonstrated in slow motion. First step; create distance by stepping back.

Second step; Then the Pivot turn( quickly move to the side)

While the last step was to do the Forward strike which is to swiftly strike the opponent.

The students all tried to imitate or replicate the skill but some were unable to do it because of the complexity. Some of them even stumbled down.

"Don't worry, I didn't expect you guys to ge..." Lee stuttered because he was dumfounded by a student who managed to get the skill on their first try and it was so perfect and flawless.

"Briliant! So perfect. Young man, what's your name?" Lee asked coming over to the student.

"My name is Vynn muscat." Vynn answered.

"Vynn, you are quite talented to get that right on the very first day. I must say, I'm impressed." Lee commented while heading back to the front of the stage.

Some boys noticed that Vynn was being praised very much instead of them that Lee always praise. So they decided to come up with something to fix that.

"Alright. Listen up." Lee said clapping his hands. "Today's class has come to an end. So through out the week, we will practice the skill together till you get it right. And you can also practice it by yourself in your free time."

Then Lee dismissed the class and everyone went back to their dorms.
