I was taken aback but what Cristal just said.
I couldn't help but wonder about her intentions. 'Pick up my sword? Is she going to train ? But how? Does she have so kind of secret training thod?'
What she said about a mysterious person who watched over already made a little bit conflicted because it sounded like this person was different from the one that I couldn't rember the face. 'They are not the sa person, are they? This is getting a bit confusing... My head is a ss."
[Master, you should focus on what's important now. I will answer all of the questions that I can answer when the right ti cos. For now, you need to be aware of your position and the things that need your imdiate attention.]
I felt like Cristal more or less read my expression and offered a suggestion.
Thinking back about what happened during that incident I realized sothing. "Yeah, I know, but my sword and my power alone aren't enough. I need sothing else."
I rember that I was able to float, but I still couldn't figure out how I did it.
'If I manage to build so kind of armor or even sothing like a propulsor, then it will greatly increase my mobility and range of attack,' I thought. 'The plasma sword worked fine too. It still needs so adjustnts, but it's effective again monsters.'
Along with these, I also wanted to build sothing that could detect enemies and sneak attacks, but it was a lot of work.
'Well, I don't know what kind of enemies I will be facing, nor when I will face them, but from the look of it, they will be a millions of ti stronger and smarter that a minotaur,' I said to my self as I glanced at Cristal who was floating in front of . 'Fortunately, It seems like this AI could help with various things from now.'
Moreover, even if it was just a possibility, I didn't want to die for a second ti, so I thought that at least, it was better if I could protect myself and my family, even if I didn't beco a hero or sonething of sort.
[Master, I know that you are trying to change yourself. However, it's not that easy when you do it. I don't have feelings, but if I have to give an example, then it's like trying to rewrite the source of an already working software from the scratch.]
I understood what Cristal wanted to insinuate. "I know that, and I am doing my best."
[Master, I will help to get stronger but you need to trust . Before you can do anything, you first need to understand clearly your current level and we will decide what you need to improve from there. That's why let's test your limit at the training ground.]
Cristal said these words in her emotionless voice. Then, she headed toward the door, as if telling to follow her.
"Yeah, you are right." I said, and I picked up the plasma sword that I kept hanging on my belt and walked towards the door.
,m I wasn't expecting to miraculously beco a God of war, but I wanted to get stronger, so I decided to listen to Cristal.
I needed to find sothing to make up for the shortcomings and turn this power of mine into the ultimate weapon.

Cristal floated next to as I walked across the roofed walkway, and headed towards the training ground.
People were staring at with puzzled eyes again. I didn't know why but I felt that these people were gossiping about .
Well, there was the mysterious black box that floated by itself, so it was understandable that people would be surprised.
After walking for a while, I finally arrived at the training ground which was situated in a detached area a little bit away from the Castle.
It was an open field where people could train with dummy monsters and mannequins—spare among themselves or challenge their agility, their stamina, and their strength, in special training grounds that were equipped with traps.
Unlike what I expected, there were a lot of people on the training ground. I theorized that the incident stimulated their survival instinct, and they wanted to get stronger.
When I arrived at the training ground, the people who were training there stopped what they were doing and looked at weirdly. It was as if they were asking why I was there.
Seeing them, I kept my composure and moved to a free spot where I could test my strength on a dummy monster.
Cristal had not said anything since we left the room. I assud that she didn't want to attract more attention than she already did, but after I moved to a more suitable spot, I needed to know what she was planning to make do.
"So, what do I do now?" I asked.
[Swing your sword multiple tis, to begin with. Imagine that your mother is attacked by monsters, and you need to kill every monster only with one slash.]
"Okay... Then?"
[Master, just do it.]
"Well, I guess I will listen to you for now…" I replied.
I activated my plasma sword and then held it with both hands. I tried to rember what happened during that incident, that feeling was I slashed these monsters one by one.
Then, I gathered my strength in my abdon, my legs, and arms. When I felt my muscle tensing up, and my limbs overflowing with energy, I lowered my stances and swung my sword multiple tis.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
I swung my sword and tried to recreate the movent that was vaguely engraved inside of my mory.
Satisfied with what I did, I asked Cristal. "So how was it?"
I could hear so chatters among the crowd of people that were present on the training ground.
[Look at what you did yourself, master.]
Cristal didn't answer my question directly but instead projected my recorded performance for to see.
I was shocked by what I saw. I couldn't believe that this was my current level. "I didn't think it will be this bad!"
[Do you need to rewatch it closely?]
Ashad by what I saw, I panicked a little. "Wait, wait… I've seen enough!"
Inside the video, I didn't move as I pictured inside my head at all.
My movents were so sloppy and so unrefined.
[What do you think? From what I can see, I don't think you can even beat a single goblin with this.]
I was completely sure that Cristal was mocking , even though she should be emotionless.
"I know that I lack skills, but just I need to focus on my training from here," I said.
[I know everything I need to know about you, master. Do you think that physical training alone will make you a swordsman? As of now, don't have the necessary processing ability to predict moves, calculate all of the various probabilities, and make ntal simulations of the most optimal outco. You need to start from the basics, and develop your skills.]
"I know that," I said, feeling like Cristal was just saying the obvious.
[You need to rember your goal, master.]

:::[Third person POV]:::
While Adam was struggling on the training ground, a person was standing in a dark alley sowhere in the capital of Kepalta.
"Yes, I have finished cleaning up. The kid didn't seem to be that exceptional yesterday, but today, he did sothing unexpected. I believe further observation is needed. As for the one who showed potential, I believe that the Lord had already made his move. That's all for today's report."
The person seed like he was talking to soone using a communication device.
"Yes, I understand. I will continue monitoring the boy. For our God!"
After that, he made sure that no one followed him and he walked toward the main street, then blended with the crowd.
