Chapter 46: Dual Wielding
Chapter 46: Dual Wielding
*SPURT*
"Haaaah...This is getting a bit boring..."
Shye sighed after killing another Gale Leopard.
Although hunting the apex predators inside the beginner adventurer zone still makes him sweat a bit, he already knows their attack patterns and they really couldn't pose a threat to him right now.
After Instructor Fienna's class, Shye didn't go together with his classmates to the skills pavilion because he wanted to keep his trump cards close to his chest.
If they learn about the skill that he selected in the skills pavilion, then there is a chance that they might talk about it with their friends from other classes.
Shye didn't want those who had bad blood with him to learn about his skills so easily and that's why he chose to just train inside the beginner adventurer zone for now while waiting for his classmates to finish selecting their skills.
Once he finished harvesting the carcass of the Gale Leopard, Shye stored the sellable parts inside his inventory and proceeded toward the skills pavilion.
"They must be done selecting their skills by now..."
Shye thought to himself.
...
...
"Welcome to the Skills Pavilion! How may I help you?"
The staff at the counter enthusiastically said as Shye entered the Skills Pavilion. He then walked towards the staff and asked
"Hello, here is my skill card and I would like to select a skill."
The staff was a bit surprised after seeing the card that Shye placed in front of him.
"A premium skill card?!"
The staff thought to himself. He then straightened his back unconsciously and spoke in a slightly more formal tone.
"I have been informed of your arrival, Sir Crowley. Please come this way."
The staff led the way towards the premium skills area but Shye didn't have an idea that his card was a premium skill card. He thought that he got the beginner skill card just like everyone else.
However, how could Dean Snowcrest not give him any advantages when he was the one who won the tournament for his entire class?
Not to mention, he was one of the six people who the deans placed their hopes into for the Adventurer Academy Competition three and a half years later.
Upon arriving at the premium skills section, Shye enthusiastically read the description of each skill booklet while the staff followed behind him as he waited for Shye to select a skill book.
After reading skill booklet descriptions for almost an hour, Shye finally found something that piqued his interest.
—---------------------------------------------------------------
[Dual Wield]
Description: Aligns the dexterity and strength of a person's weak hand with his or her strong hand allowing the person to wield two weapons of their choice
—---------------------------------------------------------------
Shye couldn't help but think about him wielding dual greatswords and wreaking havoc on the battlefield. He had no doubts that this skill would not only strengthen him but also strengthen his ability to earn points for the Flashy Adventurer System.
"This! I need this!"
He turned around to look at the staff member.
"I choose this skill." Shye said
The staff member furrowed his brows upon seeing the skill that Shye chose.
"If I may be so presumptuous, Sir Crowley, this skill would indeed allow you to wield two weapons but that's about it. You would have to train and master wielding two weapons by yourself which isn't an easy task."
"Are you sure you want this skill?"
The staff member asked for Shye's confirmation.
He felt that he was obligated to tell him about the hidden loopholes of this skill and while many have enthusiastically tried to master it before, they ended up losing their lives inside the adventurer zones due to how hard it was to master two weapons at once.
"Yes, I'm sure." Shye replied with a serious face.
Seeing that he couldn't change Shye's mind even after telling him about the loopholes, he didn't stop Shye anymore.
"I see, then please step inside this Skills Cylinder. You may feel a bit of discomfort but that's just because the Cylinder is embedding the skill into your body."
Shye nodded to the staff member and then proceeded to step inside the Skills Cylinder.
The staff member placed the skill booklet in its designated area on the administrator panel before pulling a lever down to activate the Skills Cylinder.
Shye couldn't help but flinch a bit after seeing something that resembled a thunderbolt strike his body but fortunately for him, although it was a bit uncomfortable, it wasn't painful at all.
After a few minutes of enduring the uncomfortable feeling, the Skills Cylinder stopped its operations and the staff member allowed Shye to step out of the Cylinder.
"Congratulations, Sir Crowley, you've now learned the skill Dual Wield. If I may ask, what kind of weapon would you like to try dual-wielding?"
"I would like to try a greatsword"
"I see, please wait one moment."
The staff member quickly walked towards a storage room inside the Skills Pavilion and retrieved an Iron Greatsword before returning to where Shye was.
"Here, Sir Crowley, please try if the skill booklet worked"
Shye took the Iron Greatsword from the staff member and held it using his dominant hand while he used the Nightbringer on his "weak hand".
"Oh! I don't feel any difference at all between my dominant hand and my weak hand. I can indeed wield two weapons without a problem now!"
Shye enthusiastically swung both of his greatswords around while the staff member happily looked at him as he excitedly tried his new skill.
