5 Basic Training part 2 (1/2)
During the next 10 days all the newly awaken youngsters experienced an extremely demanding schedule.The intensity of their training also increased according to their progress.An awakened warrior required a more accelerated schedule of training due to the wonders of their runes.By the second day the exercises done the day before would not be able to accomplished the same results.Their diet also played an important role in the training of the new recruits.
For the three months of training, the elders will provide highly nutritious food.For the lunch break the youngsters will eat a beef stew made with high quality meat from level 5 creatures as well as a few spirit herbs.Spirits herbs were used in Alchemy to make elixir and other kinds of wonderful potions.Even though the Barbarian clans did not have an Alchemist, their shamans were able to concoct meals that will help their warriors with cultivation.
Alchemy in his must primitive form stemmed from cooking.The meals provided by the village not only recuperated the energy spent during the crazy training but it also provided energy towards their next level.It was not as fast as killing creatures and absorbing their energy, but the meat and blood of a high level creature still accumulated some of the energy of the beast.
After ten days all of the new recruits had reached level 2 in their respective paths and had become a lot more proficient in the use of their weapons.
Rahz had reached beginner level in the use of 2h axes and had unlock the skill double attack which doubles the number of attacks per round.Level 2 also increased everyones stats according to their path of choice, thegod of war blessing provided Rahz with an increase in strength as well as stamina of 10%.He would of gotten another 10 % to these 2 stats if he was a pure blood barbarian but since he was part elf he only got 5%, the other 5% was applied to his wisdom and intelligence.
In terms of destructive power he was lagging behind the other warriors but his comprehension of skills and techniques was developing at a faster pace than his peers.With his new strength, Rahz was able to lift 140 lbs with ease.His axe swings were becoming more accurate and powerful and thanks to his higher intelligenceand wisdom his battle sense was a lot better now.It even allowed him to win a couple of fights during the sparring with the other kids.
Seeing the vast improvement of the children, the first elder decided to gather everyone before the start of the training and made an important announcement.
”Since everybody is at level 2 already, It is time to start ability training”
Everyone present was quite cheerful about this new development.They had practice with their new abilities at home but their knowledge was quite superficial.
Since each path use a different type of energy it was necessary to separate them.The warriors energy was call Rage, The scouts energy was called Ki and the Mages and Healers used Mana as their energy resource.
There were 3 other warriors besides Rahz in this new group of awakened children.Besides Bhirl there was another Guardian and a another soon to be Zerker that prefer to use two 1h weapons.Since his proficiency with his 1 handed sword reached beginner level it unlock the use of a second 1 h weapon.
” As you already know, the name of the energy a warrior uses is called Rage.The name comes from the way it is generated.When a warrior receives or deals damage it generates an overwhelming desire to destroy.We called this killing intent.The manifestation of killing intent combine with the energy of heaven and earth provides the fuel that we need to perform our abilities.We called this fuel or energy resource Rage.In the stages Before a class has been decided all the types of energy could be called Runic energy as it comes from the absorption of your runes” explained the teacher.
” Teacher is one type of energy better than the other?”
” There is no better or worst when it comes to energy.They are all the energy of heaven and earth from the beginning.What changes is the characteristics of the energy.For example we already discussed where the warrior energy comes from.In the Shaman's case they use energy from the elements as well as the life force of nature in order to cast their spells.At the end of the day they are just different types of energy provide by our wonderful realm that is the reason one is not better than the other”.
After answering a couple more questions the Elder asked them to pair up.Nothing changed much from their regular martial arts training except for the use of their abilities to attack and defend.Once their energy was depleted they will stop to recover and switch roles.This type of training was very important for Rahz and the others, it not only improved their energy management but it also develop a sensing skill that will allow the warrior to gauge the level of their enemy.
