Chapter 5

"Ray… I hope that you like my gift. Standing in the front of you is a doll inscribed with magic. They use them on all recruits at the knight academy. Daddy had to pull some strings and use some of my connections and influences to get one…"

"To use this, simply area your hand on the magic circle inscribed on the back of the doll and say the word, 'Level One.'. This doll can go up to stage ten. You only want to pass by degree 1 to get into the knight academy. Don't even attempt anything previous level 1 for it wouldn't be a first-class experience."

"Daddy loves you, x."

Ray furrowed his eyebrows as he hurled the word over toward the corner of a room.

"Really… How robust can a wooden doll be?"

Ray pulled out his sword and swung as difficult as he may want to at the doll. A magic circle seemed the place he was aiming and simply before his sword should reach the doll. It used to be stopped by an invisible wall, his sword could not go any further.

"So this is what magic can do? Pretty neat…"

"Damn it!"

Ray hacked at the doll as soon as once more and discovered his efforts to be futile as he shouted out of frustration.

Magic seemed to be a ways greater powerful than Swordsmanship. 'If solely I had the talent…' Ray lamented.

He then centered his interest returned to the venture at hand.

He went at the back of the doll, positioned his hand on the magic circle and chanted the words, "Level one."

The doll lit up in red mild from head to toe.

Ray jumped again and organized for battle, but even after thirty seconds had passed.

Nothing happened.

Surely, it wasn't broken?

'Well, of course, that fool father of mine probably didn't take a look at if the doll was once working in the first place.'

Still…

Ray smiled and dashed towards the doll.

He sent a piercing thrust in the direction of the body of the doll which was broad open.

*Clunk!*

The sound of his sword hitting the timber shield was once heard. Unbeknownst to Ray, the doll had moved its defend and blocked the sword. When Ray realised what had happened, the doll was already swinging its sword closer to him.

Ray hurriedly leapt out of the way however he tripped over his different foot.

His physique used to be transferring slower than his thought again.

Before he knew it, he used to be now lying on the ground.

He closed his eyes bracing for pain, however after a few seconds had passed, he felt nothing.

Opening his eyes, he determined that the doll had returned to its authentic position.

Ray scrunched his eyebrows. He ducked down and picked up a stone off the ground. Then, he threw it closer to the doll. The doll reacted by way of blocking off the stone with its guard and when the stone bounced, it struck it with its sword.

Ray was astonished, but he was additionally excited.

It seemed that the doll only reacted to attacks.

It didn't seem to take the initiative in fights!

Ray nodded to himself earlier than he determined to take a look at his theory.

He walked towards the doll and acquired as shut as feasible to it, without coming into its putting distance. But noticing no movement, Ray became bolder and entered the placing distance of the doll. However, there were still no actions whatsoever from the doll.

He determined to launch a surprise attack.

"Gotcha!" He exclaimed.

But this time, the wood doll moved back and averted his strike. Then the doll dashed towards Ray and struck him on his face from the side. Everything befell so quickly that Ray didn't have any hazard to dodge. Although he may want to see the actions clearly, his physique used to be lagging.

His response was barely slower than the doll's sword.

*Whack!*

Ray without delay persisted the attack of the doll on his face.

His head used to be violently flung towards the course of the strike.

The taste of iron filled his mouth as his knees buckled down. He fell onto the ground and droplets of blood commenced to drench the floor where he was.

The crimson light that covered the doll earlier shone as soon as more, but this time, a mechanical voice ought to be heard…

"Level 1 Failed… System deactivated."

Ray attempted to combat the doll 4 more times. Each time, it ended in his humiliating defeat.

However, by way of the fourth time. He was completely knocked out, unable to stand anymore. If no longer for the truth that his involved mother went out to discover him and observed him out bloodless on the bloodless and muddy floor of the barn, then he would've frozen right there and then.

Ray could not even complain.

The wood sword of the doll didn't deal lots injury to him.

But it was once a painful trip conflict the doll, so he decided he wished a break. Furthermore, Ray additionally concept that it wasn't that correct to be hit over and over with his fragile body.

When he woke up, he went out for some sparkling air to clear his head and strive to parent out a way to defeat the training doll. The village was a best quaint place, and Ray radically favored the peace. The region was once located near the border of the Alure Kingdom and the Crune Empire.

The village used to be a mining village that regularly traded with each parties. In order to keep the consistent movement of herbal resources, the two sides frequently despatched troopers to defend the village from giant creatures. But only along the border of the kingdom and empire.

Ray went out of his personal so he should exercise away from the prying eyes of anyone. He located a hilltop simply outdoor the village. He rushed closer to the pinnacle of the hill and went below the shade of a close by tree.

After making sure that no person was around, he took a deep breath and swept his gaze throughout the views in front of him. The total village could be seen, the view used to be breathtaking.

It had been a lengthy time considering the fact that Ray felt such peace and noticed such a view. This was once all that he desired returned then. Unfortunately, all of his peaceful days in the past?would continually be interrupted. Though, those interruptions reminded him of why he had to instruct painstakingly each and every day.

Ray stood up and took out his sword. He closed his eyes and visualised the doll. In his mind, he knew what to do, he could see all the steps that he wanted to take for victory. Ray opened his eyes and started out swinging hard. His moves have been fast, however it felt missing for Ray.

He may want to experience that his body could not preserve up with his brain.

Ray educated for a few hours until he felt drained. Covered in sweat, he sat underneath the color of the tree and closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes as soon as more, he used to be surprised to see a little woman looking at him. He used to be so startled that he stood up, however ended up hitting the lower back of his head against the tree.

"Are you okay?" The lady stated in a concerned voice.

"You startled me! What was once that for?"

Ray said whilst rubbing his head that collided towards the tree.

Ray appeared straight at the girl, she appeared to be round the same age as Ray. Wearing a little crimson costume with a basket in her hand. She had blue eyes and her blonde hair reached up to her collarbone.

She pointed closer to the village.
