Chapter 103: Profit and Loss
103- Profit and Loss
I walked onto the fighting stage and at the same time a Lamia came up. Then she must be my opponent.
I used [Observation] skill on my opponent.

Mid-level Demi-Monster stage.
A strong opponent, which means a good opponent for practice, but the only thing that lacks is Agility due to snake body and that means if I am unable to win, I can use my high Agility to overwhelm the opponent. But from the looks of it, my opponent is extremely nervous.
Now...Now how can this work? If my opponent is nervous then I will not be able to have a proper fight and due to that, if I dont get a job or skill, then that would be disappointing.
I thought inwardly. So, to prevent that, I need to calm my opponent. So, as a starter, I said
Hello, my name is Orochi. Whats yours?
Hearing my question, my opponent was surprised and but she still replied,
My name is Amy.
Nice name. Dont be nervous, just focus on our fight and you will get used to it in no time.
Thankss..
While I was trying to calm my opponent, the instructor shouted
Begin
As soon as the sound fell, my opponent rushed towards me with the spear. Her speed was good but in my eyes it was slow, her speed was almost equal to when my Agility stat was at 300.
But this is good, which means that we will have a prolonged fight and this should be able to prove my speculation.

Then my sword and Amys spear clashed against each other. I could have easily escaped her blow with my speed but it would not prove my speculation, so I decided to face her head on.
In the beginning, Amy made many mistakes but I gave her some tips and she was soon able to correct them.
Amy quickly adapted and her nervousness was all gone.
Like this, whenever Amy attacked, I defended with my sword and when I attacked, she defended. And we continued exchanging blows / moves and our fight continued for 5-6 minutes.
The surrounding spectators started cheering for us,
This fight is so good.
Wait, what? What is Emily saying?
Brother-in-law, you can win the match.
Oh ok, I misunderstood Emily. I thought that she was giving me a green signal or go signal for the One night stand. But she was just cheering me for the match.
Orochi, you can win the match.
Ignoring all the talks from the audience. I focused on the match. Like this Another minute passed and just when I was thinking if my speculation was wrong or if there is something I missed, the system notification rang.

Host has unlocked a new job- Swordsmanship [Level 1]'
Swordsmanship [Level 1]: [Proficiency: 0.00%]
This job is activated when the host uses a sword.
The hosts learning ability of any sword technique is increased by 5 % and the attack power of any technique used by the host is increased by 5%. (Note: Host is advised to increase [Intelligence] stat for increasing efficiency of this function.)
And all stats are increased by 1% when this job is active.
This job does not have any skill currently, but the host can learn and unlock new skills in the future.
This job can level up after the [Proficiency] bar reaches 100%. To increase [Proficiency] bar by using swords.
.
While I was momentarily distracted due to the systems notification it created a flaw, Amy who was giving her 100% effort, realized and captured my flaw, and she aimed for my hand that was holding the weapon. Just when I came back to my senses, but it was already late and I was not able to gather enough strength to hold the weapon and Amy hit my wrist and I dropped the sword. Amy then quickly pointed the spearhead towards my neck. All of this happened in a fraction of a second.
Number 251 loses and Number 262 wins.
Instructor shouted.
