Chapter 22 - Cedric’s Bootcamp

During these basic training sessions, Theo always understood how to strengthen his physique, including how to move quickly using basic footwork.

Theo underwent this basic physical training for about a month. He finally managed to adjust to the pressure given by Knight Cedric.

Then Knight Cedric gave him further training, namely training in sword techniques. Because Theo had begun to adjust to the basic physical training given by Knight Cedric, he began to become more serious in learning to be stronger.

However, Knight Cedric also gave praise to Theo saying,

"Hmph, it's not bad that a young master can adjust to this basic physical training in just over a month."

"However, from now on this is the real training."

"Young master must prepare to face even greater pressure."

Hearing that, Theo looked a little goosebumps and regretted with an annoyed facial expression, because he followed the teachings of Knight Cedric. However, because Theo had promised to become strong to protect what he has now.

Theo is willing to train hard even if he has to train in hell, Theo will still follow the hellish training.

Knight Cedric then provided training on how to use a sword, starting from how to hold a sword properly, defend against an opponent's attack using a sword, avoid an opponent's attack, swing a sword well, and how to quickly slash and stab an opponent.

As Theo begins to learn the basics, Knight Cedric will provide training in a technique that was previously shown to Theo, namely the 'voidstep' technique.

Knight Cedric explained that this technique is very different from the techniques in general. The technique that swordsmen usually use is shadowstep, which is a technique used so that a swordsman can move quickly like a shadow that suddenly appears.

However, this technique is only limited to fast movements, and strong enemies above B Rank may be able to guess where the opponent will appear from.

Different from Voidstep, which is an advanced technique above shadowstep, and this technique is only possessed by Knight Cedric, because he is the one who created the technique.

"As before, young master, I will demonstrate this voidstep technique to you."

"Even though you can't use aura as a swordsman, I want you to learn from the voidstep movement that I showed you."

Knight Cedric again explains how the voidstep technique works, which utilizes speed like penetrating the void. Even A rank and above will have difficulty guessing the direction of movement of the user of this technique.

As Theo listened to Knight Cedric's explanation, the system suddenly gave a notification of an achievement from Theo.

==============

"DING!"

[System Notification - Architect Origin] -v1.0

[Congratulations Host! You have successfully followed the basic training of Knight Cedric]

[Host Achievement Prize]

- [System Upgrade: Architect Origin v1.5] - [Unlocked]

(Host will get a better status window, and also changes to Host's skill usage)

- [Omni Analysis] - Level Up >>> [Lvl. 2]

- [Pure Energy Artificial System] - [Locked]

(Only for system version 1.5)

- [Skill Unlocked] - [Only for Origin Architect System v1.5]

[Is the Host satisfied with the system?]

[If Host is satisfied, immediately Upgrade your system!]

==============

Theo was speechless when he saw the system notification, the system seemed to be giving orders or directions to Theo to do what the system wanted.

Theo muttered with a confused mind,

"Haa!? Why is the system like a child who wants a lot lately?"

"But if you look at it, this system can actually be upgraded too."

"Argh, I'm getting dizzy! Never mind, I'll just follow the system's instructions."

Theo's current situation was like life and death, because Theo was very exhausted from training hard with knight Cedric, but he was also getting dizzy due to notifications from the system.

Because of that, Theo followed the system's instructions without thinking twice. Theo upgraded the system to version 1.5 according to the system's instructions.

============

"DING!"

[System Upgrade Detected!]

[System: Architect Origin] >>> [v1.5]

[Warning!]

(System upgrade will disable all features and even skills in the system.)

[Is Host Sure?]

===========

Theo didn't care about the warning from the system, because in his mind there was only the word 'Training'. He kept thinking so that the training with Knight Cedric could be finished quickly, therefore Theo tried hard to understand the explanation from Knight Cedric.

However, the system automatically upgraded itself, because Theo was too focused on training.

===========

[System Upgrade accepted!]

[The system provides one active skill to assist Host's training]

[Skill: Omni Analysis - lvl.2]

"DING!"

[Warning!]

[Because the system is being upgraded for the first time, the system upgrade will take quite a long time]

[Hopefully Host remains safe during system upgrade]

==========

After the system started upgrading, Theo suddenly felt a little dizzy, and his vision started to become sharper. Theo felt like he could clearly see the movements of Knight Cedric when he was giving instructions on his sword techniques.

"Ugh, why does it feel like I'm using the Omni Analysis skill?"

"I didn't activate this skill at all?"

"But, looking at it before, I seemed to see a level 2 skill reward, it seems like this Omni Analysis has leveled up?"

"Very interesting too."

Then Theo started trying to see the system notifications, but at that time Theo couldn't access the system.

There is a notification from the system that the system is in Upgrade condition. Therefore Theo cannot see the system notification or use the system skill.

However, only the Omni Analysis skill can be used by Theo. The system provides an exception to this skill because it is to ensure that the host remains safe, and the system can monitor through the host's eyes when the Omni Analysis skill is active.

Then, without realizing it, Theo suddenly imitated Knight Cedric's movements when he gave instructions earlier. He imitated Knight Cedric's sword style perfectly.

Even though Theo couldn't use aura, he could easily imitate her movement style, which was already extraordinary.

"Young master! How could you imitate the movements I did just now after just seeing it once?" said Knight Cedric with curiosity and surprise.

Theo also gave a clear reason so that Knight Cedric would not suspect that Theo actually had skills from the system, even though Theo was neither a mage nor a swordsman.

"Eh, for some reason I could see Knight Cedric's movements clearly, but suddenly my head felt a little dizzy." Theo said while pretending to give a reasonable excuse that he was forcing himself to see Knight Cedric's movements.

"Ah I see, it seems you are indeed a genius, young master! Haha." Said Knight Cedric who was amazed by Theo's hard work.

The training resumed, with even more pressure from Knight Cedric.

Theo then asked Knight Cedric to fight 1 vs 1 with Theo. This was to prove how big the impact was given by the Omni Analysis skill which was already level 2.

The training duel between Theo and Knight Cedric without even using his aura was great.

"CLANG!"

The hard sword clash made Theo continue to fight hard, but Knight Cedric only gave a scary smile to Theo, so that Theo would continue to fight against Knight Cedric.

The day continued to change from morning, afternoon to night. Time went faster with Theo who continued to train hard to make his body stronger.

Along with Theo's training, the development of the four-part region has also been progressing very quickly, all four parts, namely east, west, south and north, have begun to show their regional forms. several buildings have begun to be completed.

Theo, who unknowingly also began to strengthen himself with the training given by Knight Cedric.

Is Theo able to become strong even though he is not an aura or mana user, or even a pure energy user like an elf.
