Chapter 11 - Chapter 11 - Axe Training

Despite the other attacks of Faceless landing to Rem's body, he didn't flinch or got hurt at all as he continues attacking the first Faceless.

"How!" Maria shouted as she was surprised by the result. She can see that there was no damaged done to Rem. She knows that Cen summoned only weak Faceless but she didn't think that Rem's defenses was this great.

Rem completely smashed the first Faceless as it turned into dark mist that evaporated. He then jumped up and made his left leg kick towards the second Faceless which killed it in a single hit. After that, Rem spun around and hit the last Faceless with his fist. With the force generated from the spin, the Faceless can only groan as it flew 5 meters away from Rem, while evaporating into dark mist at the same time.

"Strong..." Cen whispered as she looks at the werewolf in front of her.

"Yay! Rem passed the test and with flying colors!" Olly run towards Rem's werewolf form while skipping some steps.

Rem transformed back to his humanoid form, and waved at the three women with a shy smile.

"Let your big sister see if you have any injuries." Olly says as she arrives in front of Rem. Olly started checking for any bruises or wounds since Rem got hit by the Faceless but she saw none.

'Strange. He didn't sustain any damage with the Faceless' attacks.' Olly curiously looked at Rem but just shrugged it off after a second.

"Tell me honestly Rem, how did your parents trained you? Your too abnormal for your age." Maria frowned as she was afraid that Rem might have been trained too hard by his parents before.

"Ummm... they just trained me the normal way, Miss Maria."

"Is that so? Then that's good." Maria smiled from hearing that.

"Rem passed the test so that means we'll be adopting him as part of our family from now on." Cen happily said as she hugs Rem making him have a hard time breathing because of Cen's big breast.

"Cen, Rem is having a hard time breathing. You should let him go now~" Maria said as she takes Rem away from Cen making her pout.

"Before we adopt you Rem, I'll ask you one last time. Do you want to stay with us? I can arrange it so that we can bring you back to your tribe if you want to. I just think that you want to stay with us just because you don't want to be in the orphanage." Maria asked one last time.

"I want to stay with Miss Maria and my old sisters. I'm okay with not going back to the tribe." Rem said with a serious face.

"Alright. You'll be taking my surname from now on then. You'll be Rem Thorne starting today." Maria announced while the two other women started jumping from happiness.

While that was happening in Macarath, Rem's clone in Cheve was having a hard time.

"Swing those axes 1,000 times, or you won't be getting any breaks from me!" An old man shouted to the 7 boys which was Rem and his roommates. Apparently, a single dorm room will have one proctor assigned to them. This made it so that he will be having the same group as the other boys.

Geen, Warren, and Wallace was swinging their axes easily without a sweat, but for the triplets and Rem, they are not doing well.

"Wow, you're doing great new enrollee~" Geen teased Rem as they swing their axes. Well, Rem might be doing well compared to the triplets, but he was still having a hard time to swing his axe. The axe that they were swinging was as big as Rem so you can imagine how much effort Rem must be doing to swing it.

The triplets sadly can't swing the axe successfully, they can lift it but once they do lift it up their heads, their arms won't handle the pressure making them drop the axe. Thankfully, they are not holding sharpened axes or else they might get severe injuries. This led for the proctor to shout at the three boys angrily.

"The triplets though are still having a bad time." Geen continued.

"Well they just got here for a month, you can't expect them to do much considering we took three months to actually get used to this." Warren commented as he swings the axe with a single hand with ease.

"You're amazing though Rem. To think that you're being able to swing the axe albeit not perfectly is praiseworthy considering this is your first day." Wallace praised as Rem swings his axe with two hands while panting. Rem has amazing defenses but the same can't be said for his other aspects.

"Thanks *Ha* *Ha*" Rem replied.

"I can hear you boys talking over there! Shut up and continue swinging your axes for another 500 swings!" The old man shouted. Rem and the boys groaned when they heard that.

Hours passed, and Rem was laying on the ground full of sweat as he pants. His arms was twitching from pain but he was still smiling nonetheless because of the notification he received.

[Achieved Axe Mastery Level:E]

'I didn't know that there are also mastery levels in here like in the game. My beaststone hasn't achieved any mastery level yet or is there no such thing?' Rem thought as he pants for air.

"Here get some water, kid." The old man appeared in Rem's view making him stand up quickly.

"Thank you, sir." Rem took the water and drank it without restrain.

"You're welcome brat. You got potential to be a great knight in the future brat, I can see it with the talent you've shown me today. You're the first brat I've seen who was able to swing the axe successfully on it's first try. Now, go get your lunch brat since the next class will start in about 45 minutes." Old man said.

"Yes, sir Fernand!"

"You actually made the old man praise you, Ian. That's a first! Wish he did it to us in the past too." Warren commented as he patted Rem's back.

"Yeah, I didn't any get praise from since the start we got here and we're even close to graduating already. What a stingy old geezer." Geen said with a frown.

"Graduating? When are you guys graduating?" Rem asked as they walk towards the canteen.

"In about 2 more years, me and Geen are graduating. We started when we were six years old. Wallace also started when he turned 6 last year. It's the norm to start at 6 years old, and only you and the twins are the uncommon ones I've seen in the axe department so far." Warren chuckles as he says this.

"That's right. Of course, we have heard some geniuses who starts training at the age of three before but that only mostly happens at the other academy. You know the academy for the rich." Wallace said.

"We wish we have the same talent as yours, Rem." The triplets said with admiration.

"Thanks, I'm sure you three will also get better, Alex, Axel, and Alen." Hearing this made the triplets smile.

"Anyway, why did you three enrolled a year earlier?" Rem asked curiously.

"It's because our parents can't afford to take care of three kids at the same time." Axel replies.

"Yeah, they thought it will be better for us to study here and get free food here." Alen continues.

"As if it was better for us. They just threw us here since we were a burden to their pockets already." Alex said with hate.

Rem didn't know what to say so he just kept quiet. This made the group quiet but fortunately the group arrived at the canteen. The canteen was full of students and noise because of the students talking to each other. Rem even saw some girls around but they were few in numbers. The girls though was all tough looking not the girls that was slender and petite. They all were muscular but they still retain some of their female figure.

Geen and Warren guided them to the line where they'll be getting their serving of food. The food that they got was just porridge, bread, and a cup of water. Rem didn't expect much though since Nohr is known for it's scarce of food resources unlike Hoshido.

The group then went to a long table where a banner that has a axe symbol on it is hanged. Rem can see about 50 students at different ages sitting in their.

"If it isn't the pirate king and bandit king duo." A handsome boy said as they neared the table.

"Shut it, pretty boy or should I say girl?" Geen retorted with a smile.

"Ughh can you please keep your ugly face of us. You're ruining everyone's appetite." The boy made a puking face as he says this.

"Don't start a fight with us, Markus." Warren warns as he gestures the group to ignore Markus and to seat down. The group followed Warren and started to eat their food.

"I'm not afraid of starting a fight with you, Warren." Markus said while 6 other boys on his back was saying "That's right!"

"From what I remembered, you lost to Warren from the last monthly axe department's competition~" Geen says making Markus face red.
