Chapter 61: Conflict At Spear Training Hall
That really was a disappointment, but at least I got a secret class which I would use later to change my current class.
"Ok, let's separate and after we all finish, let's gather here," I gave them the order then I was just about to leave to stop in my tracks, as I didn't know where I should go.
"Your hall is at the end of this street, little princess," Shin said while pointing out towards one street. I looked at him while nodding my head then I moved fast towards that street.
I wasn't in a hurry, but all the players I saw in the past half an hour moved with such speed, so I copied them. The street was longer than I expected, but I crossed it in a short time to find my destination.
The Spear Training Hall, that was written on a wooden plate hung above the building I stood against. The building wasn't that tall or vast, as it consisted only from one main two stories building with a wide open space which acted like a training arena.
I pushed the door open and entered into this big arena, where there was nothing there except some hay dummies scattered randomly.
"Who are you?"
A harsh voice came abruptly from behind, it really scared me. it turned out to be the NPC responsible for this hall.
"Hi, I'm Agatha, and I'm in a spearman class. I wanted to upgrade my class here."
"Are you kidding me? A girl has chosen the sacred class of spearman?"
I suddenly felt a chill down my spine as this NPC looked at me in a hostile way, a sound of system notification rang in my ears, so I didn't delay checking it at once.
'System prompt: your spearman tutor is mad at you, he has a negative impression about you. Try not to anger him anymore so he won't kill you.'
'What the hell is that?'
I looked again at this strange prompt, and it really meant what I read. That NPC was mad at me because I'm a girl who used his class.
I looked towards him in the eye, he was very tall with many muscles shaped well, but I wasn't afraid of him. Instead of retreating, I moved couple of steps forward, took out my spear, and pointed it to him while saying in strong tone:
"Yes, I'm a girl, so what is wrong about it?"
That arrogant NPC didn't stop his irritating attitude as he raised his spear as well and pointed it towards the street as he said threatening:
"If you don't go out now, I will push you there myself."
"I would love to see you try to do that," I replied while retreating a few steps to the back, as the more I moved the deeper I became into this hall. My actions had enraged this crazy NPC whose eyes turned fiery as he said threatening:
"If you don't move out now I will kill you."
"I would love to see you do that."
I kept my steady retreat which enraged him more, so he moved with his spear directing it towards me. I was expecting this move of his, so I first used a nerfing skill to nullify his speed advantage.
"Gravity skill."
His speed got decreased immediately under the effect of my skill. although he lost his speed advantage, he was still very dangerous. His next move made me glad I didn't lower my guard, as he raised his spear holding hand, then he threw his spear. He literally let the spear leave his hand to move in incomparable speed towards my heart.
"Dragon head skill."
I used the most familiar skill that I trust in response. My reaction came spontaneously without even thinking for a second, I felt like this skill was engraved deep into my soul, like my first ever skills.
Once I activated the skill, the tip of my spear changed to form a dragon head, and I gained one second of absolute immunity.
I didn't wait for the spear to hit me, as I moved to meet it, in a fraction of second I met that spear, which penetrated my body, but I didn't feel a thing. I didn't stop as I jumped towards his owner, who was stupefied with my actions.
"Stop."
A soft sound I heard from behind me, but it had a great impact on me, as my body as a whole shivered and my skill strangely was broken. I moved backward for a few steps as a backlash while my HP was lost by one third at least.
I turned with anger to see who interfered in the middle of my fight, but when I saw him I stopped and forgot any desire for attack. The man who interfered was a stronger one, and he had a far dangerous vibe around him.
"I was just passing by to check the training hall to find you, my apprentice, was trying to block the path of this young adventurer?"
That man spoke in a soft, yet domineering voice directing his words to that NPC who tried to expel me from here. I looked towards that NPC who pointed towards to me as he said:
"She is a girl, no girl should be allowed to enter here."
"Said who?" The real master of this training hall asked calmly, but I felt a shiver down my spine.
"I I thought" he stuttered under the fear of his master anger, who continued to ask with the same intimidating calm:
"You thought What?"
I saw that NPC's body shiver, but I didn't feel any sympathy towards him.
"I thought she is weak and she doesn't deserve to be honored with your teachings, master. Plus, she raised her spear first in front of my face and didn't show respect, " that evil NPC tried to flip the facts here. I was about to interfere and defend myself, but that strong master of the hall spoke first:
"A spear girl that managed to slain a cragen and dragon in this young age is weak? If I didn't interfere, my foolish liar apprentice, you would have been dead right now under her skill.
How foolish of you to try and deceive your master, I was here from the beginning. I saw and witnessed everything, and now I don't want to see your face ever again in front of me. Scram."
