Chapter 229: Selecting A Suitable Weapon

Instructor Aella's gaze swept through the rest of the students.

"I was about to teach you all a lesson on pride, but sadly our example for the day was more cautious and sadly didn't fall for it." Her sweeping gaze paused on David's body and she still thought it was a pity.

David's calmed nerves tensed up once more once he sensed her eyes on him.

He had almost fallen for her trick. He was about to call her by her name as she had told him to with a smile on his face but he abruptly noticed something was wrong in time and had hurriedly changed his wordings at the last minute, saving himself of the humiliation he would have received.

"Since we weren't able to talk about pride today, that would be done later when I find a perfect target or example but as for now, let's head back to the main topic of today." she strode gracefully through the field and her tank top flickered rapidly with the wind.

"Selecting your most suitable weapon." She finally revealed. And with that, she clapped her hands twice. Te sound was soft, but it seemed to have ignored the laws of loss of energy and travelled through the entire field.

Several dozens of ordinary humans carrying a huge rack of weapons on their shoulder came running towards them with sweat dripping of their foreheads as they panted severely in exhaustion.

With a huge thump, they placed the huge rack of weapons on the ground of the field and without waiting to catch their breaths, they hurriedly made their way out of the field.

"The institute has given you all, the grace to venture to the outside world to complete missions, broaden your horizons and meet with students from other acedemy." she said, staring at the rack of weapons as she traced the edge of the rack with her fingers.

"But without the power to protect yourselves, you will most likely be killed off if you venture to the outside world just like that. That Is not a theory, it is a fact." Instructor Aella stated.

"I've trained you all on how to use your hands and feets more effective in combat and I'm pretty sure you can flawlessly attack and defend yourself with your fists. And now that you can control your own body without flaws, and now, it's finally time to control something that isn't your own body to be precise and flawless. And with that, the power to protect yourselves should be at your finger tips." she concluded and snapped her fingers lightly.

"Now, from the edge over there, you guys should come up the rack of the weapon one by one and have a feel of the weapons." she pointed at the first student who stood in the beginning of the line.

"When you are done, you can finally select the one that suits you better and that would be your main weapon as that would be the weapon you will use till the end of the semester. And of you can afford your own weapons, that's also fantastic, otherwise I won't allow for any changes do you get that?" she said as she stared intently at the students.

They all hurriedly nodded their head in response.

Very quickly, the first person stepped out of the line and went out to the rack of weapons to hold out and test each of the weapons out. On the large racks of weapons, there were lots of weapons there but they were all cold weapons. Axe, daggers, swords, spears and lots of other weapons. Each with different size and shapes.

After a while, it was Davids turn. He couldn't help but glance at the instructor and then headed to weapon's rack before him. Grabbing a few of the weapons, but he wasn't satisfied with how they felt.

They felt light to him, he needed a more heavier weapon, his eyes caught a hammer lying beside the long sword.

He held it with his hands and took a casual swing at it. But although it was heavy, the air resistance was too much, he prefered one with a sharp edge. Much like the Axe he had with him.

Lights flashed in his eyes as he spotted a perfect weapon for him, the axe. He had thought he would get a more satisfying feeling from other weapon which was why he hadn't directly chosen the axe but he was disappointed.

Pocking up one of the large Axes on the rack, he went back to his place in the line and waited as the rest of the students went up to choose their weapons.

The long sword was undoubtedly the most chosen amongst the students and the instructor seem to be aware of that as their were more than 30 long swords in the rack.

"Okay, now that you all have all selected your weapons, I have assigned a few assignments to you and have sent it to your inboxes. Go over them and practice according to the instructions given. Now, the best way to get used to thr weapons is to use the in real life experiences, lets spar!" with that, the students were random paired and began to spar with each other.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!" a notification rang out in the room, startling a young man who was lying peacefully on the bed awake.

"Five more minutes Hazel!" the young man groaned softly and within a few seconds, he was already sleeping soundly.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

"What!?" the young man sat up on the bed and shouted.

It was then he realised it was his ONI that was ringing out and not his AI waking him from his sleep

There was no surprise in the young man's expression as he said. "Why I'm i not surprised you weren't then one who woke me up Hazel?"

Blinking his eyes, the young man's eyes lit up as a few electric currents kept flashing in there. He asked grumpily as he was still feeling sleepy. "What? Who is it?"

"You are still sleeping at this time? It's almost 10am!!!" the male voice yelled, stunning the sleep out from the young man.

Startled the young man checked the time and realised it was true. It really was 10 am and he had to attend a lecture at 10:30am.

His eyes turned red and he quickly stood up to get ready. "That doesn't give you the right to yell at this talented student you old thing!"

"You even dared to retort back at me! What mistake I've I done in my past life to get a student like you? Visit my place once you are done with lectures. I need to see where you have gotten with the books I gave to you the last time."

The young man's body froze in the middle of putting on his clothes.

Seeing as their was no reply, the voice grew suspicious and said "You have started reading them right? Cause I remember giving them to you a week ago."

"Of course I read them, I'm not that forgetful. Alright old man, I need to go now." hurriedly the young man ended the call and with a pale face he murmured "I'm doomed!"

"Hazel! This is all your fault!!!" David yelled!

"Sure, why don't you put the blame on me."
