Chapter 3: Sparring 1
The skills that a person gets when receiving Falna usually come from that person's innate desire or nature.
As is the case now, Kelvin's Skill is based on his desire to fight and become stronger. That was what made him awaken the [Independent] and [Réduire Ajouter] Skills when Loki carved Falna on his back.
Of course, having two Skills at once once obtaining Falna was a very rare thing. In fact, most First Class Adventurers couldn't do it in the past.
It was just that, from the start Kelvin was an anomaly of this world. He wasn't supposed to exist in this world, so it was no wonder that he could awaken two Skills once he obtained Falna.
"Well! Since you've officially joined us, I'll introduce myself again now. I am Loki, God of the Loki Familia!" Loki rose as she placed both hands on her waist.
"Mn, my name is Finn Deimne, my position is Captain Loki Familia. You can call me Finn or Captain if you wish." Finn smiled kindly as he looked at Kelvin.
"Gahaha, interesting little boy! My name is Gareth Landrock! Glad you joined, kid!" said Gareth with a laugh as he introduced himself.
"As you know, my name is Riveria Ljos Alf, my position as Vice Captain of the Familia. You can come to me if you need anything."
Riveria gave a small nod as she smiled.
"Then, once again, my name is Kelvin Edelfelt! Glad to join you guys!
Kelvin grinned as he looked at Loki and the other three Chief Executives. On the other hand, Kelvin was starting to get excited at the thought of his new life in this Familia.
Only, he might not realize the crisis that might come his way in the future. And this involved a white-haired girl who called him "Kelvin-sama".
"Oh right, since you've joined us. I wonder how your fighting style is? Do you have any special weapons? If not, we can lend you one of the weapons from our arsenal."
Finn looked at Kelvin curiously. Although he had seen Kelvin's status, but he still didn't know Kelvin's fighting technique clearly.
If Kelvin was still a beginner, he could have assigned another member of his Family to train him some fighting techniques.
After all, Kelvin was an important asset in the future. Devoting all their knowledge and skills to him would not make them lose out.
Especially, when he had already become strong and joined the expedition. With his two skills, he could become the main Ace in the Familia.
"That's right. I still don't have a weapon." Kelvin held his chin while muttering, "but, if possible I want a Scythe for my weapon."
"Scythe? I'm sure there aren't many who use the Scythe as a weapon nowadays. Are you sure?"
Finn furrowed his brow as he looked at Kelvin to confirm. Unlike himself who used a Spear, Scythe users were actually quite rare in this world. Not many people made the scythe their main weapon.
Perhaps because of its size and the shape of the Scythe which is relatively difficult to move freely, many people prefer to use other weapons such as Swords, Axes or Spears instead of Scythes.
In addition, the Scythe also has a curved blade that is not symmetrical, with a long handle, which makes the Scythe more suitable for hooking enemies.
"Yes." Kelvin nodded, "Although I actually have no trouble using any weapon at hand. After all, I don't have any particular criteria for a weapon."
Kelvin shrugged his shoulders with a relaxed expression. In the past, he had studied various types of martial arts that specialized in the use of Weapons; Swords, Spears, Bows, Axes, and many others.
As such, Kelvin had absolutely no difficulty holding any type of Weapon in this world.
Although, if told to choose what weapon to use, then Kelvin would choose the Scythe as his main weapon.
"We don't have a scythe in our arsenal. But, we can ask a blacksmith from Goibniu Familia or Hephaestus Familia to make you one."
Gareth crossed his arms as he began to speak. Meanwhile, Finn also seemed to be thinking about how to make up for the lack of weapons in their arsenal.
Previously, they did have many, but most of them were damaged and under maintenance. So, they only had a few Third Grade or lower weapons that might be suitable for Kelvin.
Plak!
"Alright, stop thinking all of you." Loki clapped her hands as a smile formed on her face, "Rather than that, Kelvin. Can you use another weapon for now? We're short on weapons, and making one is a bit costly."
"I guess it's no problem. I can slightly use swords and arrows. Other than that, I can also slightly use an axe dagger or just hand-to-hand combat."
Kelvin shrugged his shoulders with a sigh. Although he wanted to use the Scythe in this world, but they didn't have many Scythe users in existence. And this weapon was quite rare in his class.
So, Kelvin could only be satisfied with using the existing Weapons before he ordered a special Weapon for himself.
"A bit, huh..., then how about we Spar? I guess I want to know the extent of that 'little' you know."
Gareth grinned as he heard Kelvin's remark. It was as if he felt annoyed that Kelvin was bragging about himself and wanted to test how good he was, whether it was true as he said or the other way around.
"Oi, Gareth! Are you serious?" Finn looked at Gareth in disbelief. As if he didn't want his friend to think too much about Kelvin's words.
Finn was actually also skeptical about what Kelvin said just now. For a teenager not much older than Ais, he wasn't sure Kelvin could master multiple weapons at once.
It wasn't that he didn't believe, but he knew how difficult it was to learn a fighting style with a single weapon over a period of time. In fact, a swordsman took years for them to become very proficient when they wielded a sword.
"Calm down, this is just sparring. We're not going to fight seriously. What do you think, kid?"
Gareth waved his hand at Finn's reply, his gaze fixed on Kelvin for confirmation.
"Sure, I don't mind." Kelvin nodded in agreement.
He didn't mind testing his strength in this world, after all it had been a while since he stretched his muscles. Plus, Gareth was one of the striking supporting characters. His strength was obvious and he was someone who had an impenetrable defense in this world.
Moreover, during his time in this world, Kelvin had only ever fought against monsters on the surface. And of course, the Monsters on the surface were weaker than the Monsters inside the Dungeon.
Even if it was against other humans..., Kelvin didn't think training with his 'Servant' would count as one of them.
In other words, Sparring with Gareth allowed him to review his strength against others.
Although, Kelvin felt hesitant considering Gareth was a Level 6 Adventurer, which he was a First Class Adventurer as well as a fairly well-known adventurer in Orario.
While him? Well, although Kelvin was still Level 1, but he was confident that if he used Tricks, he could defeat Gareth one way or another.
After all, Gareth wouldn't seriously floss when Sparring against him, right? He would definitely hold back and limit himself to his level.
That was another advantage Kelvin had in this Sparring.
"Haha! Good! Then let's go to the field now!"
Loki laughed excitedly, immediately he quickly left the room and told everyone to follow him.
Gareth and Kelvin immediately followed him, while Finn and Riveria rubbed their foreheads as they let out a long sigh.
"Are you sure this is okay?"
Riveria looked at Finn as she asked. In her opinion, making Gareth fight with Kelvin was too much.
Plus, Kelvin had a certain reason that made him shut down his sense of sight, and Riveria herself didn't know what that reason was.
"I guess there's no other choice ...."
Finn was also helpless, it was a bit unusual to see Gareth so competitive like right now. In the end he also followed behind them because he was honestly also curious about the strength of their new member.
If his strength was indeed what they thought it was, then it would make their Familia even stronger, and it probably wouldn't take long for them to rival the Freya Familia and become the strongest Familia in Orario.
