25 Chapter 25: Fight Against Alaster 2/3 (1/2)
Ned had all his weapons on him now, except the the staff. He had his two daggers on his back just above his belt, his sword on his waist ready to be drawn in a second. Plus all of his armor, as when he is usually walking in the city he would be wearing normal clothes he had bought from a store.
you would also notice that on his breast plate, daggers, sword, there was a purple small circle that wasn't there before.
The old man seeing Ned change gave an approving nod, although he would be using a wooden sword it was because he was rank 8. But Ned would have to come up with everything he has if he wanted to impress him.
He looked at Ned and said ” My boy, although I'll be using a wooden sword, it doesn't mean I'm looking down on you or anything. I can coat my wooden sword with my battle force to make it stand against your weapons, but if I use my sword then I'm afraid I will heavily injure you” he gave him an apologetic look, as he didn't want to hurt his pride, but he had no choice as he knew Ned wanted to fight against the demons. And the fight was tomorrow so he couldn't injure him badly.
Ned however didn't mind, he knew that a rank 8 with a sword or even with his hands alone will beat him easily. Therefore it was fine with him. And so he gave a nod and said ”I'm not such a narrow minded person, I know that even without any type of sword you could still beat me easily”
And the old man gave a small smile. ”Ay, you never cease to impress me my boy. When will you agree to be my disciple?” He said sighing while a sword appeared out of nowhere. And Ned noticed that the ring on the old man had glowed a bit.
He drew his two daggers as it was his strongest close combat art, but he still didn't charge at him and waited for the old man to make his move.

The old man once again gave an admiring nod. Before swinging his sword in an almost lazy manner, but Ned felt the killing intent directed on him. And so he rolled to the left side and started running at him. He didn't bother to look at the 2m gash on the ground that appeared where he was standing moments ago.
Once he had broke through rank three he knew why there was a difference between rogues and swordsmen. Depending on the attribute. If you were a rogue, meaning you would be focusing on speed, but had an attribute of earth, it just wouldn't do. As once you infuse earth mana into your body, you will get stronger but also slower.
Ned was currently, doing exactly that, he was infusing earth along with wind mana into his body, successfully getting his body much st.u.r.dier and stronger while still keeping his speed. He didn't have the limitations of the normal warriors.
