Chapter 64: Big Battle Inside The Town
Chapter 64: Big Battle Inside The Town
After my mentor left, I held my spear in hand as I was ready to try that trick out. I pictured Shin and the others' looks when I used this trick in front of them, that look was worth the effort.
I chuckled when I tried to feel my spear as my master said. I didn't feel anything special, as my spear was as cold as always, so I sighed. I then held that spear in my hand as I tried to imitate my master and threw it.
I observed its course which hit the target, but it didn't cause the same effect like my master, as it just hit the training dummy and got inserted in it. I tried to make the same hand motion like him but I failed to get any result.
'That's harsh, but it's expected.'
I then went on to grab my spear and then returned to my place and tried again. failure was always the only result I got, so after two hours of training and gaining nothing, I stopped in my place to rest and contemplate what I was doing wrong.
I tried to recall my master's actions, which seemed magical and kind of impossible to me right now. I thought it wouldn't take me the whole night to learn this trick, but now I was feeling if I spent my entire life learning this trick then I would fail.
I took a deep breath trying to move all these negative emotions away from me. I suddenly recalled his training, he didn't start with me by this trick, instead he started with the first trick that I mastered.
There must be a reason behind this, or this what I hoped for. Enthusiastically I moved from my place as I closed my eyes and then tried the first trick again. I raised the spear up in the air then I let it as I opened my palm to let it stand steadily over it.
I then moved my fingertips to grasp its long cold shaft. When I did this, I thought suddenly of imitating this trick again but while throwing the spear. I didn't open my eyes as I changed my body position to be like the pose my master took, then I released the grip over my spear.
I then felt the spear following my movement as it floated horizontally on the palm of my hand. I then followed it with the move of my fingertips to hold its shaft delicately, but firmly. I took a deep breath as my heart rate fastened.
The next step I did was to move my body rapidly as I threw that spear. Suddenly, I felt as if my fingertips were still holding the spear in them, at the same time I heard the swift movement of the spear penetrating the air rapidly to end hitting the training dummy and then the wall after it.
I was really thrilled, but I didn't lose my focus as my trick didn't end here. I imitated my master's hand grip to feel the whole spear appearing in my grasp as if it was there from the beginning. I opened my eyes to see the spear was there, lying quietly in my grasp.
'Who the hell are you?'
I wasn't asking the spear, but I was asking about my master. What happened just now was so magical that it didn't feel real.
I was about to try this amazing trick again to grasp that feeling more, but I was interrupted by a sudden voice coming from my back.
"She is that bitch that got me expelled from here, big brother."
I turned around as I recognized this distasteful voice of that liar. I saw him standing shoulder to shoulder with a bigger person, who was at his mid thirtieth, and both were surrounded by a group of players that didn't exceed twenty. I stood straight facing them with my spear on my side as I said loudly:
"You have really big guts to come here again, aren't you afraid of my master to come here and teach you a lesson?"
"Your master? Are you crazy? Did you hear her, big bro, she didn't only expel me from here, but also stole my position as the main disciple under that NPC," That liar said while screaming like a weak girl. That player who he called big bro moved couple of steps forward as he said arrogantly:
"I will give you, whoever you are, a chance to redeem yourself and keep your life. if you leave here and never come back , I will let this matter go like it never happened."
This player was really arrogant, did he think I would fear him or listen to his threat? I faced his arrogance by more arrogance as I said with confidence:
"You are crazy to come here and threaten me, wait till my master comes back and learns about this. I will make him punish all of you severely, now scram before he comes back."
My words were met with a hysterical laugh, as that big brother of this liar said with a big laugh:
"You are really as impulsive as my little brother here said, do you think we came here unprepared? That silly master of yours is now in a big meeting with the town governor, so he won't be able to come here anytime soon."
He then moved another step forward while raising his sword towards my face. I didn't withdraw even when the rest of his gang raised their weapons in my face, as I said calmly:
"You can't do anything here, in the town, as fight is forbidden here."
"That's right, it's forbidden but only for you stupid players, but for us NPCs, we can kill whoever we like and won't get any punishment at all."
That fact hit me, as I totally forgot that they were NPCs, not players like me. that was a big misjudge of me to the situation which originated from my negligence of this game yet. I clenched my fist as the other one held my spear strongly as I muttered softly:
"I know that we are still learning how to communicate, but if you can hear me out then I want you to use every ounce of strength you have and kill all these enemies with me."
My soft voice was heard by this gang who laughed more crazy as some of them said in mockery:
"Look, she is speaking to the spear."
"It seems the fear had driven her insane, we will do her a great help by killing her now."
"Yes, killing her and making her return to her sanity will be a great favor from us. You should thank us girl later on after you got resurrected from your stupid resurrection point."
More and more words of insult came from them, but I didn't give them any care as I was only focused on planning out my attack. I sent a message in a haste to my teammates, but I didn't put any hope on them.
Who knew what they were doing right now, so I acted as if I was alone here, so the first thing I did was to retreat a few steps to the back, while this gang moved deeper into the training hall. I knew that I shouldn't be the first one to attack, or else I would be subjected to severe punishment.
They also knew this face better than me, so they surrounded me first in a big circle formed of fifteen of them, as ten were swordsmen and one spearman with more than four defenders.
The other five were three healers and two wizards. My tactic was simple, I had to withstand their first wave of attack first then I had to deal rapidly with their rear, as the longer the battle commenced, the more disadvantageous my position would be.
