Ascendency of a Nephilim

Chapter Five:

-2 weeks later

Ray had already settled into the academy life with his friends with enthusiasm. He and peter had both chosen the weapons class while Logan opted to go to the ability class in order to learn how to use his ability better. They had spent the rest of the week exploring the campus and integrating into its society.

Ray woke up with a start. He wiped the sweat from his brow and got up from his bed. He changed into the usual academy uniform given to them to wear to class. He opened the door and stepped out onto the corridor. He walked all the way to his class and entered.

The Beast weapons class was filled and noisy as students chatted. Ray walked to his place and sat down. A man wearing beast armor then entered the class. He banged on the table for order as he prepared to speak.

“I hope you all can keep quiet for me to instruct you on what to do.” The class immediately fell quiet.

“To those of you who plan on joining any factions or the military, the truth is that you need to get stronger and better at controlling any abilities you have. Now, the basis of you joining this class is to acquire the skills necessary to handle a weapon of your choosing. Joining this class does not mean your ability is weak or you are simply trash looking for an opportunity to rise.

Some of those powerful figures from your various races did not rely on a powerful ability to rise but rather their expertise in handling beast weapons. When you get powerful enough you can even awaken a soul weapon.

With those of you that have your personal weapons with you, you will be learning more about the limitations of your weapons and develop a fighting style to cover your weaknesses or take advantage of your strengths to overcome your destined opponent.

Now, those of you who don’t have a weapon, do go to the weapons wall and select your preference.” Ray and many others approached the wall while those with their own weapons stood there.

Ray browsed through the contents of the wall. There were halberds, daggers, spears, axes, whips, swords, chains, etc. Ray then noticed a weapon he was intrigued by and picked it.

Most of the class members picked swords with some going for daggers and whips. Ray came to join them with his chosen weapons. “What an odd choice.” Thought ray’s teacher with interest.

“Now that you have all gained weapons, I want you to familiarize yourself with them.” Everyone spread themselves across the classroom for space. Some began practicing how they thought they should use their weapons. Ray then equipped his weapons and a familiar interface displayed its message.
