The Villain's Story

18 Training.

Waking up to the sound of the alarm.

I stood up and then walked toward the bathroom to take a shower.

Thinking about this. This was probably the first shower I took since coming to this world.

When I was done. I just wore the same set of clothes I had from the orphanage. Taking a whiff I thought to myself.

'..okay need to buy more clothes.'

Taking another whiff. My nose was instantly repulsed. As for why I took another whiff even though I knew they smelled bad.

Just had an urge to do it.

Finally dressed. I checked up on Samantha who was still sleeping.

Waking her up. I said.

"Yo sleepy head wake up, the first day of...school?"

She, with her eyes still closed, muttered.

"Five more minutes please.."

"Fine."

I replied not wanting to deal with her anymore.

I picked up my phone and called Ben.

The assistant was given to me by the guild. He answered pretty quickly.

[Hello?]

"Hey Ben, Can you come to pick us up and also send me a catalog of all the martial and weapon techniques the guild can give.

[Yes sir. I'll be at the door of your room in about ten minutes.]

" Thanks"

I then hung up and waited for him to send me the catalog.

Without even a minute passing, I received the list of all martial techniques I could learn.

[Fists of Frost(****)]

[Ice Elemental Battle Technique(***)]

[Taekwondo:Elemental(***)]

[Dark leg:Elemental(****)]

....

Those were all techniques that were compatible with my element. Well, only two were the ones compatible with my element while the other two were Standard techniques upon which any elemental affinity could be applied to increase attack power.

Scrolling through the lost a particular name caught my eye.

[Dark leg(****)]

Created by Uncle Jeff, who was a famous cook in a restaurant that was made into a ship.

Unfortunately, He lost a leg of his in an accident. He later taught his technique to his apprentice. Who later became the treated cook in the pirate world.]

....Someone, literally created a martial technique based on a character from a famous anime.

Although the name was slightly different I could still recognize the similarities.

Cook and Pirate world were dead giveaways.

Thinking about it, I realized I didn't finish the anime because of my premature death.

'Should complete it soon, I think only a hundred or so episodes were left.'

I immediately sent ben a message that this would be my fighting technique.

I was a major otaku so I was going to choose this one. There was no other competition.

And on my weapon technique k just went with:

[Basic Spear technique(*)]

Why basic you ask?

Well, one I was already going to receive a seven-star weapon technique upon completing the quest.

Second of all, I had read far too many novels in which the protagonists learn a high-grade technique and then later regret not learning the basics.

No way in hell was I becoming like them. I was going to first lay the foundation and then move on to higher graded techniques.

Now that I decided what type of techniques I was going to use. I decided to wait until Ben came.

After about five minutes. Samantha finally came outside of her room, I gestured for her to come here. And then we both looked into each other's diamond eyes for a while.

It was awkward

Way too awkward.

But alas our Savior came as we heard a knock on the door.

Standing up and nearly spending towards the door with Samantha with me.

I opened it up to find ben. My 'personal assistant carried two books with him.

"May I come in?"

He asked.

"Umm yeah but aren't we going to the guild?"

Seeing my confusion he affirmed.

"No sir, I'm in charge of your training until your admission into Shield."

"But why here, and not in the guild training area."

"Well, because of you, the guild is currently being pressured by the other top two guilds. We don't know who they have bought among our staff so we..have to stay low."

Huh, wasn't expecting this but, if it has to be then it has to be.

"Did you bring the manuals I selected?"

"Yes, Although I do have to say, your choice is rather.. unexpected."

He continued by saying.

"We understand the Melee technique but are confused by your weapon technique choice."

Hearing his worries, I said to him.

"Oh, I just want to build a steady foundation and then move on to a higher weapon technique."

I wasn't going to tell him about my quest. The moment the knowledge about my quest rewards became public. Even twilight won't be able to protect me.

After all, Humanity still has no seven-star technique available to them. Even the other races only had a handful of them. I could expect to see myself getting a massive bounty on my head and every major guild after me trying to get my techniques.

"So, who's going to train me?"

I asked him, With a smile on his face he replied.

"Me sir, Although I may not look like it, I'm a B Ranked Awakened. I'm in charge of your training until twilight can fight off the other guilds."

"And my second job is to also convince you to accept the Wellington's proposal. With them behind us, The other guilds won't dare to touch us."

"Tell The guild Master I'm already going to accept their proposal."

Well, I needed that technique after all.

Been, with his smile going even deeper, Thanked me.

"Thank you, sir, now let's begin training you so that you don't make us lose face in front of them."

Bullshit, that was complete and utter bullshit. My stats were already higher than Humanity's Greatest Prodigy Elijah and I was even a year younger than him!. And Ben knew this, Although I wonder why he said it. I just let it go.

This man was gonna be teaching me. The last thing I wanted to do was get on his nerves.

Entering the basement, We went to the right corner and opened the door to the room.

Seeing the state of it, Being frozen all over ben asked me, with surprise on his face.

"..you did this sir?

'Shit I completely forgot I wrecked the room last night.'

Trying my best to come up with an excuse I said.

" I was testing out the skills given to me."

"..those skills don't have enough power to do this much damage."

He asked again, with disbelief visible on his face.

"Well, my affinity powered them up a lot."

"By this much?!"

"Yes."
