I woke up earlier today and had a fast breakfast as I was quite excited about skill training, as a person who couldn"t even use a spoon; weapon & martial training were just fantasy I read occasionally in novels.I browsed the several skills that were already in my mind as I thought about my priorities, since I had plans to start clearing the quest log as soon as possible as I didn"t have much time to learn every skill I read, so learning a few useful ones would do just right.
After half an hour of thinking I settled on learning sword skills for weapons for the time being.
[ Activating "OMNI-Mastery" ….. ]
[ Skill acquisition list:
"Sword-Mastery": swing a sword 100 times {0/100}
"swift swordsmans.h.i.+p": repeat the 5 moves 25 times each {0/125}
"Vital Dagger strike": stab an target"s in a vital point 100 times {0/100}]
I checked the "Sword-Mastery" skill for more details
["Sword-Mastery" acquisition requirements:
* swing a sword 100 times {0/100} for ten days {0/10}
* learn at least one swordsmans.h.i.+p skill (lv.1, one star grade)]
"I guess it won"t be that easy" I thought to myself, although the requirement turned to be more demanding it was still a cheat no matter how one thought about it.
According to the tutorial info, learning skills especially the weapon type required a long time, learning one in 30 days would be abnormal in its own, let alone in 10 days!
But still it seemed quite a waste of time to just do this little training for a whole day, since I had to train for 10 days to acquire 1 skill, I decided to pick up all the weapons I could learn using.
So, I checked other mastery skills that I could learn with the weapons I had home, which had similar acquisition requirements to sword mastery except slightly longer number of days, like archery which required shooting 100 arrows for 13 days.
-> Sword: 100 swings, 10 days
-> Spear: 150 stabs, 11 days
-> Bow: 100 shots, 13 days
-> Dagger: 80 side-stabs, 12 days
-> Halberd: 200 attacks, 11 days
The new daily training plan that felt so empty was suddenly filled to the brim.
I decided pick up weapon specified skills next, which I didn"t have hard time doing since there was only one or two of such skills in my mind, so I settled it up quickly.
I collected the weapons from the training room to the backyard where all the training targets were piled, starting today, my daily harsh training continues.

Ten days later…..
["Swift Swordsmans.h.i.+p" acquisition requirements:
*Repeat the 5 moves 25 times each {125/125}]
[You have learned "Swift Swordsmans.h.i.+p" lv.1]

* learn at least one swordsmans.h.i.+p skill (lv.1, one star grade) {1/1}]
I swung the sword one more time, and then, I was a.s.saulted by an abnormal feeling, I felt as if countless swords were tearing their way into my body that I almost screamed with pain, but luckily it was only a momentary phenomenon.
[You have acquired "Sword-Mastery" lv.1]
[You body accepts the baptism of the sword, strength increases by 2]
[Strength +2 -> Strength: 12]
"Jackpot!"
It was all I could think about at this moment, the choice of mastering every weapon I could get my hand on, which sounded so ridiculous, just became the wisest choice I made, since I couldn"t boost my stats further through training, if every mastery skill increased 1 or 2 stats point then that would mean that I could increase my stats about by about 4~8 points more!
The most important part about this was the strange feeling I was experiencing just now.
The crude training sword that I held in my hand, I could feel its heartbeat as if it was alive….
["Sword-Mastery" lv.1
