Spending nearly two days of Terris, the Sword Mastery Alice had increased by leaps and bounds.
The Sword Mastery [Passive]
Mastery: Novice Combatant V (53.11%)
Every player won't believe it right away before seeing it for himself, obviously. Alice's speed increased her real character's Mastery Skill a frenzy.
All because, of the many hidden rules imposed by the Sekai Shard. Alice fulfills three things in the Mastery level upgrade, where;
—Mastery will increase faster in practice-type Quest.
—In certain places like Combat Training Field.
—And or trained by someone who has a higher Mastery level.
There is always a reason behind reality. Alice is a good example of that.
Move to the middle of the field,
Trang!
"—Ukh. . ."
I don't know how many times the moans have been heard, along with intermittent breathing. However, the girl's eyes remained sharp and full of intent.
"Slash!"
A Long Sword slash was aimed directly at a Halfling bearded.
But, as a Combatant Veteran, Bill did not consider the incoming attacks a threat. His hand only needed to make the trajectory of the sword blocked by his sword.
Trang!
Although there were other attacks that followed, Alice did so very clearly. Makes it easy to handle.
Trang!
"Too bad, silver girl!"
"Khh!" Alice clenched her teeth. The girl was even more annoyed that all of her attacks were rendered useless in front of the Demon Trainer.
"You're wrong" said Bill, sending out a slash from the right using his Long Sword.
Trang!
The Long Sword Training
Durability: 41% (-1%)
Alice manages to fend it off, Bill attacks. However, a thin blue line came from the opposite direction, hitting the girl's left waist.
A slash!
Alice
Health 78/170 (42)
Right shoulder.
—Slash!
Health: 42/170 (36)
Then the left knee.
—Slash!
Health: 5/170 (37)
Iron Chainmail's
Durability: 84% (-1%)
"—Ack!" his moans were in pain, with teeth grimacing.
Alice immediately cursed inwardly seeing the Health value of her character fall instantly, leaving behind a single-digit number.
You bastard coach! !
If it wasn't for Chainmail being used by her, Alice was sure the attack would have sent her to nature, after all! —though she wasn't sure there was anything like that in Virtual Reality.
"Enough, restore yourself. After that go kill five Forest Wolf for me. Oh, also bring the fangs" said Bill.
"And you can only use that sword, not others. Take that Swashbuckler with you, too."

. . . It's so irresponsible.

...[.Item Detail]...

Type: Melee Weapon, Sword
Durability: 41%
Attack 1
Requirement : -
Stats : -
Enhancement : -
A Long Sword that is often used for practice. Quite often, to have some damage.
...————...
Yeah, it's only got a "one" of attack power. In addition to its Durability, only 41% remains%.
Meanwhile, the status written in the details is "Damaged" which indicates the Long Sword has some damage. Alice was not blind, the sword in her hand clearly had some fine and blunt cracking parts. And because of that, he increasingly felt the coach in front of him was a crazy person.
Alice looked at the Halfling with trembling hands, holding the Long Sword in her hand tightly until it showed a vein. Want it to swing the sword at the coach —As his Struggle Skill is at its best.
Health: 5/170
Where 8/66
Stamina: 26/173
Yes, its attack power and speed increased tremendously under these conditions.
Only, Alice understood as much as she did, everything must have failed. Bill is the real monster here.
But before he could curse, the girl was immediately shocked after Halfling threw a cloth-wrapped object at him suddenly, hitting his face.
Health: 4/170 (-1)
"I almost forgot. It's a weapon for him." said Bill, pointing at Elcia, leaving afterwards.
Janc —Do not throw stuff! ! !
. . .
Calming her emotions, Alice turned to approach Elcia who was sleeping on the edge of the field. Sit next to him and put the weapon wrapped in cloth.
Sleeping in Virtual Reality is not unusual. Even the developer Sekai Shard found many players who fell asleep in the game because of fatigue after doing a long Grinding —It is in-game for someone who does the activity repeatedly for the sake of something; experience or a particular Item.
It was just that Alice could continue the Quest as long as her body rested. Elcia came back in after dinner, making the most of her sleep. And of course, this can only be done by both.
Straightening her legs on the grass, Alice recalled Bill's attack on her.
One slash followed three other slashes coming from the opposite direction, a Skill. Part of Skill Set; Nave Sword Technique.

...————...
Alice frowned. His mind failed to understand the way Bill performed a total of four opposing slashes just like before.
Indeed, he could only perform one follower attack —probably because his Mastery level was still too low. But, what the girl was swirling about was how to make a counter-directional slash using "Phantasmal Attack". How much he tried until his Mastery reached 86.80%, the attack always came one way.
The Sekai Shard side was not kind enough to explain something like this to players. The Beta Tester doesn't know any better. Because of this, Terris had many hidden things waiting to be revealed by players.
One swing, two slashes, two directions. . .
His Skill Set had the advantage in the number of attacks. If Alice was able to do what Bill showed her, this Skill would be hard to avoid.
"Aargh, Uuh. . ." Alice ruffled her hair in frustration. Even if he managed to learn the Nave Sword Technique from Bill, everything was only that limited.

About the Skill Set
The Skill Set was nothing special in Terris. Many Skill Sets that a player could possess. What distinguished him was the potential and how powerful the Skill Set itself was.
