Reborn as God: The strongest system

Calvin looked confused but he still answered, "sure, I'm interested in gold."

"Great, how much for your Vigor breathing technique?"

"I… can sell it for ten golden coins," Calvin wanted to say something but he hesitated, "to tell you the truth, lord mage, it's of no use to you. If you don't have the talent for it then it's just a strange way of breathing."

Esdras knew that of course, but he was still appreciative of his honesty. Vigor breathing techniques were not a very big secret or anything like that, unless they belonged to some ancient master.

Calvin was in his late twenties but he was already a Vigor knight, an impressive feat which is why despite being a commoner he rose swiftly through the ranks.

While some breathing techniques had some differences here and there the basic goal and intention of the techniques remained the same.

That is, to allow the body to release the energy known as Vigor and wield it.

"It's fine, I will just give it a try." Esdras answered looking determined, he chose to show this expression as if he wasn't willing to stay down after losing the spar.

Calvin's look towards him changed, "I see. Fine, take it and give me some coin if you actually get some benefit out of it."

"What?" Esdras was actually dumbfounded, he didn't think his acting was that good.

Calvin patted him on the shoulder like he understood his feelings, "when you tread on a difficult path for the sake of honor and duty that is when the heart blazes with Vigor."

"Eh… yes," Esdras didn't know what this guy was talking about but since it seemed to his advantage so he went along with it.

"Can I get some weapon? A spear or a bow maybe?" Esdras asked since he didn't have any weapon on him.

"Have you got any practice with either of these weapons?" Calvin asked frowning.

"Eh, no. I mostly practiced with a short sword when I was very young…"

"Then why ask for something that you are not used to? You should know that these weapons are harder to master than the sword."

"Fine, give me a sword then." To be honest Esdras didn't want to fight in close range at all. He just came from a relatively peaceful era and was reluctant to do something like this.

But, he was a realist too, there was nothing that he could do but adapt to this world. There was no point in wishing for the problems to solve themselves.

"Take it, you will need it later on." Calvin said after he handed him a short sword.

Esdras had a bad feeling about these words, "later on? What for?"

"… don't tell anyone yet but the commander and the True mages have decided to send some of you ahead of the army to clear the route ahead."

"Thanks, you helped me today, and I never forget my gratitude." Esdras said seriously, "I will repay you someday."

"You don't have to… it's not like I am short on anything. To be honest I was never envious of mages before I became a Vigor knight. Hehe, but ever since then it's all I can think about."

"Why? Because of their power?" Esdras asked.

"Yes, and no. It's just that the path of a mage is so wide and expansive but for us it's already the end of the line."

Finally Esdras understood what bothered Calvin, indeed someone like him would want to advance further but he had already reached the end.

Esdras used his Third eye on Calvin.

Name: Calvin Osty

Class: Vigor knight Lv.1

Physique: 3

Agility: 2

Intelligence: 1

Spirituality: 1

Vigor: 3

Esdras was not able to see the talent values of Calvin probably because his Third eye was still level 1.

However, something attracted his attention, his class was level one, that wasn't a sure answer but it was enough for Esdras to make a guess.

"What if it's not the end?" Esdras asked Calvin.

"What? What are you talking about?"

"Nothing, I'm just saying what if it was not the end? What if there is more?"

Esdras left after saying that and Calvin came back to his senses and had confused expression.

Esdras went into the woods and read the breathing technique, then he started practicing it. As soon as he got the breathing pattern right he felt a warm current in his body.

Esdras was elated, he continued on and felt his muscles vibrating, the more he followed the breathing technique and the energy was becoming thicker and bigger.

Finally he started sweating and after a long time he stopped after feeling that the warm energy had become as thick as a finger.

Esdras open his eyes and realized he spent two hours in practice without noticing.

Name: Esdras Varthos

Race: Human (world wyrm)

2) Strength unleashed Lv.4 (0/60 EXP)

Agility: 1

Strength unleashed leve 4! He was about to become a Vigor knight after two hours of practice?!

His physique state increased by one but he could already tell that he was twice as powerful as he was two hours ago.

Not just that the physique state encapsulated strength, endurance and vitality. That was a huge improvement, after all, Calvin's physique was at 3.

Incredible, and this was only the effect of martial talent at level one? At this rate he could become a Vigor knight today or tomorrow at the latest.

He looked at his hands and couldn't help but break into a laugh!

Esdras realized at this moment that he was no longer human, he was a monster in human flesh!

"Esdras?… is that you?"

It was Robert and his goons who walked through the bushes and stumbled on him.

Esdras clicked his tongue in annoyance, enemies were destined to cross one another.
