Arthur's training is TOUGH. 3 weeks of 2,100 push ups, 3,150 sit ups, and running a total of 4,200 thousand miles in total. That means, 100 push ups, 150 sit ups, and 200 miles of exercise a day. Plus sparring matches and monster fighting everyday as well. In any case, Arthur is a very strict Sensei.

But there is one fault about him that I've learned over these three weeks. He. Is. A. Pervert. He is constantly checking, guessing their sizes, telling me his delusions, and guessing if they are virgins or not. Sometimes I could swear I could see him looking at little girls. But, when he has these delusions, his guard is down, to me at least, so I Karate chop him on his head.

This week, we are going to a good Blacksmith so I could get a good sword. And normally I wouldn't mind this, but this Blacksmith is a girl. I've also noticed that what ever shop this old man goes too, a women is the one that sells stuff or owns the store. Is this really a hero?

The heroes, four of them, are legendary figures in this game, best of the best. In fact, Magnus, the Mage Hero, is the Royal magician. Flemmal, the Priest Hero, is in a position the same as the pope from our world. And Della, the Rouge Hero, she is the master of all of the non-magic military forces of this kingdom as well. There are of course different kingdoms, but the Heroes were born in the one I am in and therefore protect it. The only one who went into hiding after they become heroes, was Arthur the Sword Hero, who was also the strongest and the leader supposedly.

We arrived at the blacksmiths while I was still thinking about my ruined image of heroes and the old man immediately went to the young women at the counter. I knew he was just going to flirt, someone way out of his league too, with the seemingly 20 something year old women at the counter.

I looked at all the single edged swords that they had, the type of sword best suited for what the man is teaching me. And then I saw it, sharp, plain, but gives off the feeling of a literal and metaphorical cutting edge sword.

It's handle was covered with simple yet durable looking cloth. The blade, long and slightly curved, sharp and sturdy, it looked almost the size of a Nodachi, but was defiantly shorter. When I picked it up, it seemed as though it was made to be a cross between a nodachi and a western bastard sword. Basically a long-ish Katana that can be used with one hand as well as two hands, weird sword is my thought of it.

"Hmm..what is this strange sword?"- Why does a sword hero not know what this sword is?
"Ah, that was an experiment of mine. I thought I should try crossing different types of swords and that's the only one that didn't fail."- The black smith said as the man swilled it from my hand.

"Hmmm....mmmhm, mhm, Yep, yes, Perfect!"- Another quirk about this man is that he has some sort of internal check list for everything.
"Um, perfect for what?"- Even though it was well made, I wouldn't use this sword due to how complicated it feels.

The Sword Hero started negotiating with the Blacksmith, flirting too, for the price of the sword. I drifted around for a bit to see what other things were in the shop.

"Ok, James!"- I see Arthur has a interested look in his eye again, setting down the money for the sword, calling for me.
"Yes?"- I was cautious of this guy, last time he was excited, I was flung towards a wall.
"You are to use this sword from now on! I've been looking for another sword like mine..."- Wait, he had one of these weird swords?"...And it seems I finally found it!"- He was grinning as if he found an old friend.

"With this, with this, my sword style, complicated in many ways, can be learned faster by you."- He handed me the sword, exciting the shop.

"I thought you said your style can be used with any sword?"- I thought that's what he said at least.
"Yes it can, but since this sword incorporates the properties of every sword longer than a short sword, its best suited for my 'Hero Sword' style."- yeah, not imaginative is he.
                                  <!>
Shifting a week into the future, I was practicing with my newest sword, finally getting the hang of it. These in games weeks go by fast, so far it's only been a week in real life but a month of training in game. 'It's all for the special class' is what I thought going through this harsh, tedious training. But I was determined to continue, like a fire determined to burn.

Today, mountain climbing, boss fighting at the peak. Yep, the boss of a mountain, 3 days in game from the town, a mountain giant, is what I have to fight. At least I get to fight something, a boss too, finally.

Climbing up the mountain, was practice time. The Sword Hero never let me stop training till I pass out. I would say that he wouldn't treat a girl Disciple like this, but no, she would have it worse due to how perverted he is. But not only is he perverted, he tried, a wing man, to set me up on a date! I stopped him of course, I'm not going on a date with some random person.

The mountain, steep, took forever, plus a lot of stamina, to climb. Reaching the top, I saw a wonderful view. A wall of mountains extended east and west of us, blocking the northern winds from coming towards us. On the south side, where we came from, I could see a sea of green with a little red scattered here and there like foam on the ocean waves. The North, was drastically different, a snowy wonderland was all to be seen. In my opinion, the game developers made way to much of a difference.

I was trying to enjoy the scenery a bit more, a Giant roared at me against my wishes my wishes though. Saliva flying, sound bursting my ears, ground rumbling, he charged at me. He tried to punch me into the ground but I basically vanished from his eye sight very quickly, I was already behind him.

I jumped as high as I could and -"Justice Blade!"- used a super lame move that happened to be the first type of slash in the style I'm learning.

My sword, high in the air with me, came down cutting through the wind at an impossible speed, leaving a long gash flowing with blood on the giant's back. My blade, clean as the day I bought it.

The giant roared in fury, and picked up a rock that started to fly in my direction soon after. I again jumped up, put my foot on the back of the passing rock, and pushed my self towards the giant.

"Horizon Slash!"- I'm not sure if I should yell the names or not but, it's kinda fun. My blade, slashing horizontally, seemed to glow a slight orange as if the sunlight was being sucked in by it. It is a beautiful slash.

The Giant received another huge gash and now it's health is about 50%. Why...are these moves so powerful? I mean, this boss monster is only 2 levels above me but still, it's a BOSS monster. Too much.

The last thing I was able to learn so far is '10 Disorderly Steps' which actually is a movement skill in the sword style. Basically, I can step anywhere randomly, ignoring such things as inertia. I think it's fun to use.

I continued to use my skills, 10 minutes later, the giant fell. It slowly turned into ashes, lots of loot left behind, and I went to go get a grade from my master.

"You did great! But you could've done it faster you know? Now I will be late to see Aria-chan's performance."- Arthur said reminiscing about a street performer that performs thrice a week.
"You....dirty....PERVERT HERO!!!"- Does he not know how hard a boss monster is to defeat?!?! And he was thinking about seeing a street performer?!?!? I kicked him off the cliff and he flew.

I knew he would land safely so I sat down and started eating what ever I brought for lunch. Ah, it's cold up here, maybe I should light a fire for tonight.
                                <!>
Today, more training, was of course what I was doing. What player in a game would spend so much time on training I wonder? Well me of course, 2 months isn't enough to make back down!

But today is not a day of usual training. In fact I don't even know how you can call it training? But then again, it's possible with this pervert hero...

"Today Nebula, I am training in the art of capturing a women's heart!"- He said with an unbreakable pride, a man's pride....
"But you haven't gotten a date your self in how long?" "Kuh!"-....That I broke with a single sentence. Oh, he seemed to have recovered quickly.

"I'll have you know that back in my day women flocked around me like moths to a flame!"- He gained his pride again....
"They only did that because you were a Hero, emphasis on 'were'." "Kuh!"- ....and I broke it again.

"How about this! If I can get one girls address, then you have to let me train you in this!"- Just how fast can he recover pride?
"Fine, I doubt you'll be able to do it though."- Utmost confidence covered my words
"Hehehe, lad, when a Hero turns serious, anything is possible!"- He bet and we walked into the tavern. In this game, a tavern isn't exactly a bar, its just like any restaurant where they combine the bar and the serving/cooking area into one.

The tavern, dark oak wood covering the walls, cheery voices heard from merry people all around, had a very home-like feeling to it. The tables, even darker than the walls, polished to a shine where you can basically see your reflection in. Paintings, nameless and abstract, were sparsely placed on the walls. The bar tender was of course a women, along with all the servers, this Hero doesn't go any where with men as servers.

We sat down and a waitress came to serve almost immediately, this place handles well. As soon as we ordered our drinks, Arthur's aura changed, and I think I just witnessed the point were I lost the bet. It's like I was watching a cheesy romance movie when I saw the sparkles surround him. No fair! He's using <Glamour>! A skill that raises your charisma and charm and even makes you look better! Cheater!

The two, flirting before my eyes, would not stop! And after about twenty minutes, twenty LONG minutes, the waitress gave him a slip of paper after writing something on it. Sensei turned towards me with a wide grin on his face.

"You know what this says my young disciple?"- He waves the paper a little.
"Fail?"- I hoped.
"Nope, it's the time she gets off, and her work days."- He still has a big grin.
"Even though you cheated..."- I tried to hurt his pride again.
"HA! Who said using a skill is a cheat? Now let's see......ah! Go over to the group of ladies over there and try to pick one of them up!"- Arthur pointed to a group of 3.

One of them wore white robes of a priest, black hair and tanned skin. Another had brown hair, bright green eyes, and a bow on her back. And the last one, silver hair and blue eyes, had a big two handed axe attached to her backside.

"You want me to try and flirt, with three girls at once?"- I was no longer confident.
"Yep! And if you manage to do it, I might even give you a skill!"- Well...a new skill is always welcome. Mine as well try....

I walked over slowly to the ladies who luckily, if I told them it was for a quest, since this bet actually came up as a quest, they might help me out.

"Excuse me ladies!"- The archer and the priest looked at me to acknowledge my greeting, the warrior continued eating. -"I have an embarrassing quest that requires your assistance!"

The priest and archer seemed to gain an interested look in their eyes, the warrior was still eating, have I seen her before? Deja vu is hitting me hard. Well, I know I don't got any people I'm actually I'm too close too except my sister who I'm barely allowed to see, so I stopped thinking about it.

"And what might that be?"- The priest asked.
"Well, the man over there.."- I pointed towards Arthur -"Is my mentor in this game and I've been learning swordsmanship and martial art skills through him. And he said he will give me another skill if I do, well, this."- Red tinged my face slightly as I brought up a quest window.

"Master of the sword, your Sensei has given you a challenge as the result of loosing a bet too him. You must walk over to the group of girls he points out, flirt with them, become on friendly terms with them, and possible even get a date out of them (Last one optional). This is to train you in handling women for the future.
-Rewards:
A random skill of your Sensei's choosing.
Charm stat."- Is what the quest window said

The priest and archer seemed to be smiling while trying not to laugh. Even the warrior, cold to my presence before, looked at the window and finished reading with a smirk.

"So as you can see...I need a little help..."- I'm not good with talking to other people from my world.
"So..pfft...you want us...to act friendly..pfft..or are you asking us out on a date?"- I swear the archer is making fun of me with this.
"I just need you to act a little, the date is optional anyways..."- I wish I could die in a whole right now, but I don't want to have to respawn in the town center.

""Pfft, HAHAHAHAHAHA,Hahahaha~.
Aaw~.""- The archer and priest were laughing like crazy, warrior girl was just smirking.

"You know....this isn't funny for me...."- Are girls truly sadistic? Or just these ones? I started to walk away but the priest stopped stopped me.
"Wait don't go, sorry sorry, it's just, we've never seen such a ridiculous quest like this before. Pfft, forgive us. Here sit down."- The priest motioned to the only open seat left, which was across from the warrior.

I sat down and we started chatting. First was introducing our selves but the warrior seemed to not be talkative so I never got her name, but the priests name is Yuni, the archers is Mist. Apparently they've been together since a class change quest they did together a while ago. We chatted for about 30 minutes or so when I felt something burning holes in the back of my head. I looked to see Arthur glaring at me with a 'Why are you such a show-off?' look.

"I hate to say this, but I have to go. It seems Sensei is angry at me."- I said while standing up.

"Wait, let me add you to my friends list." "Oh me too!"- I got my first two friends requests in this game....it's been like what, three in game months of playing this game and now I get my first friend requests? Just how sad is my life? I looked at the warrior.

"Oh her, she's shy so don't expect anything right now. It took us a month of traveling with her before she sent us a friend request."- the priest explained. And with that, I left to go hopefully pacify my Sensei.

"....Show-Off..."- He said as I was given a new skill, <Glamour>. One skill I would never use.

The next day, my training was three times as tough.
