"Alright, now you guys are going to spar me.", Luther said.
"Fuck."
"Fuck"
Everyone sneered.
"Alright, new kid, you are in luck. Pick up your sword and come on the stage.", he said.
"Ok", I replied and went to pick up the wooden blade.
As I was now standing in-front of coach with my sword in the fighting stance.
"Let's begin kid.", as he said he immediately vanished from his spot.
"What the??", I said and I instinctively put my sword on the back to block it.
"Tath!?"
"Nice kid you blocked it.", he said and immediately vanished again.
Now I was keeping my eyes open but was not using [Cruel Eyesight], as the combatant class wants me to get good without any external help.
I then immediately felt him rushing towards me and I blocked it. He then immediately attacked me by yanking my sword and slashing towards me.
I then immediately dodged it.
"Ough.?!"
"It's your footwork.", I said.
"Nice you noticed.", he said and immediately rushed towards me.
I then dodged and immediately tried to retrieve my sword.
"Not so fast kid.", he immediately retrieved his balance and came towards me with a slash.
"[Black desert.]", I used and he immediately was stuck in his place.
I then ran took the sword in my hand.
"It's a good spell but still a little weak for me.", he said as he ripped his legs for it.
"Fuck.", I cursed.
"If I can't defeat you using pure swordsman ship, I will use [skills].", I said and immediately used [black sword] and send multiple swords strikes towards him.
"He is so good.", Jessi said gazing at him.
"Yeah, I thought he will be just like us when we first came here.", Cynthia said.
"Hmm", Elijah didn't say anything.
At the same time, Noah was also angry but not at Eon but himself.
"Alright Kid come on.", he said.
Then the coach immediately dodged some them and destroyed them with pure raw strength.
I then immediately rushed towards him and tried to use [white blade] and stab him.
"Not so fast kid.", he said and suddenly a golden shield appeared out of nowhere.
[Light cover]
The moment my sword touched it and it immediately broke and pushed me back.
At that time, I saw the shield break and I used [Black desert], on my fit to stop myself from being pushed back and activated [Rend] and [darkness flame] and rushed towards him.
"Ahh!", I screamed and slashed him.
The shirt he was wearing had 4 fangs shape tear and his skin was also cut.
At that point, he grabbed my hand, "Nice kid but still you need to work hard.", he said and immediately swinged his word at me and the moment it made contact with my body, it was launched at a distance.
"Ha, Ha, ha", he laughed manically as I picked myself up and returned to the stage.
"Everybody come here.", he screamed and immediately everybody was present.
"Do you know why he lasted for so long in-front of me.", he asked them.
"Talent", Cynthis said with a hint of hostility.
"No", he replied.
"Practice.", Elijah said.
"No", he said again.
"Something to do with his array", Noah said.
"No, no all wrong", he said.
He then asked me, "Why do you think new kid?"
I replied, "I don't know I just came here today."
"Ahhh, all of you are numbskulll", he screamed.
"Well, don't keep half of your words in your stomach and tell us everything", I said.
He calmed himself down, "Uf"
"Kid how many demons have you hunted before?", he asked.
"Let me think,", I said as I started to count.
One in the lab, five following Vaneesa, thousand zombies, three adult demons so
"Yeah about five adult demons.", I said.
- "five?"
- "Adult demons?"
They all were surprised.
"Yeah, I mean I got here because I only met Ron", is said.
"If you are counting zombies, then about a thousand.", I said
"How?", Noah asked.
Everyone was surprised.
"Yea, you have hunted down demon. I have seen your diaries.", he said.
"In that portal, you killed everyone in a fast precise way and made sure no one was alive. Your experience gives you an edge against them. That's why when we fought you used all of your skills and made sure that everyone of your moves could kill me.", he said.
"But in-front of a really strong opponent, you will face several difficulties.", he said.
"Alright, you guys will now spar me.", he said and started to spar them.
"You can go and practice your skills there.", he said.

"Noel what do I need to do?", I asked.
"Alright kid. First you need to anchor yourself to your world.", he said.
"What?", I asked.
"In this world, any type of array users anchors themselves to their world, so they don't go crazy from abyss.", he said.
"Then why don't the demon hunters teach me?", I asked.
"It's because you need a special skill such as [Darkness fire] to anchor themselves and they usually get it at element 7. But because you have [Cruel Eyesight] and [Darkness essence] you already copied the spell and converted to skills it will be much easier.", he said.
"Now understand how the fire has appeared.", he said.
"Ok.", I started to think.
A purplish-blue flame appeared in my hand.
"How does the color of the flame turn blue?", I asked myself.
As I started to think, it's because the oxygen is completely burning and using oxygen efficiently. I then started to envision the same flame inside me. In the pure darkness, I felt losing myself but the fire guided me. Then I saw the [Darkness flame] coming towards me and envelope me and burn all impurities present in my body.
I felt the skill and me becoming one.
"Now use your dark essence and try to anchor it so that you don't lose yourself.", Noel said.
I then tried to shape my dark essence into chains and immediately tried to anchor it.
"What the?"
I felt losing [dark essence] at an alarming rate as if it was trying to burn it to protect himself.
"Endure and Embrace it.", Noel said.
I then immediately used my [Dark reserve] and strengthen the chains.
The heat increased and the [Dark essence] burned at an alarming rate.
"Endure it."
"Endure it"
I said while tightening my jaw and at last felt one of my chains connect and immediately used it and send all the other chains I could send towards its way.
"Taht", the flame was now in the core and sturdy and making sure it did not move from one place to another.
"Nice kid, you jumped a leap", Noel said as I saw a bunch of purple screens in-front of me.
[Congratulation! You have anchored yourself to your world.]

"Nice." But suddenly I felt something and immediately a lady clads in red dress and vines covering her eyes.
"Lecia", I said instinctively,
"How did I know", I asked.
And then I felt my head fall.
"Huh!!!!", I returned to reality.
They were still fighting.
My throat suddenly felt something, my mask then shoed me a rose vine scar has appeared in my throat.
"What the hell happened, Noel?", I asked.
