The next day
Ryan woke up and as soon as he exited his small house jack was already waiting outside for him.
"Took you long enough to wake up" Jack said
Ryan looked at Jack,blinked once,then twice and thought "this guy's an idiot"
Then he calmed his thoughts and said "So when we starting?"
"Right now" jack said.He let out a smirk and pointed his bow at Ryan
Ryan let out an awkward laugh but jack was already pulling his arrow to the string
Ryan realising jack wasn't playing grabbed his wooden sword and rushed for Jack.
Jack shot at Ryan but Ryan evaded the shot by turning his body to the right and swinging his sword at jack.
Jack jumped back to create distance but Ryan wouldn't allow that.Ryan quickly got back in close and lunged his sword at jack
It was strange.This was the first time Ryan has ever fought but his body seems to be moving as if he already knows the basics and have been doing this his whole life.
Suddenly jack stops,raises his bow and screams "STOOOP"
Ryan stops his sword mid lunge.Just a second later and his wooden sword would have pierced jack.
"Good job" Jack says as he let's out a sigh of relieve.
"Did you see it?" Jack asked
"See what?" Ryan questioned back
"The fact that you knew how to swing a sword.The moment I stepped back to create distance you instinctively moved in because you knew you would be put at a disadvantage.This is your first time fighting right?"
"Yes" Ryan answered
"Then how are you able to know all of these things?" Jack asked
Ryan paused for a few moments to think then jack continued
"Anyways,I didn't think you would be so good though.Either you have crazy potential and instincts or you were a beast in your past life but now that you've gotten the hang of it, let's continue training!"
Ryan nodded and prepared his sword, likewise jack got his bow ready and they began to duel again.
After a while of battling a screen flashed before Ryan's eyes

" What happened? Why'd you stop" jack asked
" I just got a new skill" Ryan replied
" What's it about?"
"Beginner swordsmanship" Ryan answered
"Damn.I also want a skill.We gonna fight until I also get a skill!" Jack commanded with a smirk on his face
"Let's say if you can keep up though" Ryan confidently says
"With your skill level I don't even need to try" jack smiles before putting another arrow into his bow
The duo begins spar once more until
Jack is desperately trying to create distance but Ryan doesn't give him any chances or openings.Every time Jack loads another arrow,Ryan is already on top of him.
Jack desperately trying to create distance takes a huge leap back and he doesn't even realise it but his hand grabbed an arrow so fast and loaded it that he was wondering where this arrow came from but before he could think any more a message popped up Infront of him

Before they could continue their spar,they hear a noise somewhere in the village and decide to go check it out
When they reach the spot,they see the eight villages talking to two players they've never seen before.
