Two days later, Alex was heading towards Smith's Store. After walking for a while he arrived in front of Smith's store. Alex pushed the door open and entered.
"Welcome to Smith's Store Customer, Oh! it's Alex. Hello, How have you been?" Sera asked after she saw it was Alex, not a new customer.
"Fine and you?" Alex responded before asking her how she was doing.
"I'm doing fine as well. You're here take your commands isn't?."
"Exactly, I'm here for my weapons," Alex replied.
"Father, bring the weapons, Alex has come," Sera shouted calling her father.
Soon, Smith came out of his workshop with three things in his hands. When he saw Alex he greeted him and passed to Alex the things which were in his hand.
The first thing was a knife in a Scabbard, Alex doesn't know what kind of materials he had used to make this scabbard but it feels nice. The scabbard was attached to something that looked like a belt.
Alex fastened the belt around his waist. The scabbard containing the knife was on his right. However, it seems that he could freely move it, switching to left or in front and even behind.
"Good work Smith. I never thought about this kind of scabbard. It is helpful. Thank you" Alex thanked Smith, extremely pleased with his first command.
"You welcome, just try the knife and give me your impression" Smith replies.
"Okay"
Alex immediately unsheathed the knife from the scabbard on his right. The knife came out with a Shing!!! sound. The knife blade was shining in silver light, the blade was silver in color. The knife doesn't weight much nor it was too light, its weight felt perfect in Alex's hands. Alex does a few casual swings as a test, the knife easily cuts through the air.
"Nice Knife, I'll name you Razor from now on," Alex named the silver knife.
"Razor? Well, I don't know what it means but it is a good thing to name your weapon. Next, you should try the throwing knives." Smith suggested.
After returning Razor back to its scabbard, Alex decided to try the throwing knives. There were two legs straps containing three throwing knives each. It seems Smith had added one more Knife onto the initial five throwing knives Alex asked.
After fastening the two legs straps on his two legs respectively, Alex unsheathed the throwing knife on his left leg, he studied the throwing knife, it was black in color, it doesn't look too different from the one he had seen on the net if not for the cord wrapped around it, it doesn't look like a nylon cord.
Alex hurled the throwing knife and with foosh! sound it pierced the wood dummy Sera placed in front of him. His aim what totally off. Alex was aiming for the torso but it ended piercing the wood dummy leg.
"Well, I need to train to throw knives at the Adventurer guild training rooms soon. I'll name the six throwing knives "Black Betty's". Black Betty's are heavier compared to Razor." Alex decided.
Alex bid farewell to Smith and his daughter Sera after talking with them for another half hour. He promised to visit them soon after completing his first quest.
A few minutes later Alex was in front of the Adventurer Guild, he pushed the door open and entered. Today, there were few Adventurers inside the guild today as well, they were probably on a mission outside. Alex advanced toward Leena and greeted her.
"Hello, Alex how have you been? it has been three days since the last time I saw you." Leena says.
"I'm fine, you're right it has been three days. I'm here today to use training ground." Alex announced, asking Leena to use the training ground to train.
"Okay, let's go. Karen comes to take my place. I'm going to show this newbie the training ground" Leena called another receptionist to come to take her place. A black-haired girl came to switch place with Leena. This black haired girl was a human in her middle twenty, she beautiful as the other receptionist.
Alex followed Leena toward the underground where the training ground was. The training ground located in the underground of the first floor of the Adventurer guild was big, like a small arena. Alex saw a lot of people training, some were firing arrows on wood dummies, some were doing mock battles, and so on.
"What kind of training do you want to take, Alex?" Leena asked him.
"I want to train using throwing knives on dummies" Alex replied.
"Oh! I thought that because you're noble you will have an amazing Gift. Maybe your Gift is related to throwing knives?" Leena probed.
Alex shrugged his shoulders and replies "Who knows"
"My apologies. I shouldn't' have asked anything. I'm sorry." Leena lowered her head, apologizing.
"I know, don't worry. Although I don't mind, you should not try to probe any other person's personal information in the future. Not everyone can be lenient. I hope you understand." Alex warned Leena.
"Thank you for the reminder, I'll keep it in mind. We are here. Would you like to have an instructor to teach you?" Leena inquired.
"No, I will train on my own. I don't need any instructor." Alex refused.
'Well, the truth is that I don't have enough money to hire an instructor. I won't say that, though.' Alex mumbled to himself
When Alex was lost in his thoughts, Leena shook his arms and announced "I will take my leave then. See you later"
"Okay, thanks," Alex thanked Leena before starting his training. Firstly, Alex set his target fifteen meters before he started throwing Black Betty's.
Naturally, Alex's first attempt ended in failure. He kept trying, finally, after three hours, he managed to hit the target. Alex continued to train until late in the evening before stopping, by now he could hit his target five times on twelve tries.
Alex even acquired a new skill: Throwing knives Level 1.
Alex dragged his tired body back to [The Moonlight] Inn and slept.
The following two days were used to further train, at fifteen meters Alex could perfectly hit his target, then he moved to twenty and finally thirty meters next. The level of his Throwing knives rose up to Level 3. Now he was ready to start taking a quest to level up. Tomorrow he will be taking his first quest.
Almost one week since Alex came to Eria town.
In this world, there were 24 hours in a day and 30 days in a month, a week had seven days. A year had 12 months, there were hardly any differences with Earth calendar and hours. To know the times, there was something called magic clocks in this world.
However, because clocks were a type of magic item, ownership of one was limited to wealthy merchants and nobles. Then how did other people keep the time?. It's simply because, a bell would sound in town every 3 hours: 6 am, 9 am, 12 noon, 3 pm, 6 pm, 9 pm, most people would roughly know the time as the bell sounded 6 times a day.
Well, Otherworlders can easily know about time, if after calling their status, there was a digital clock there.
Alex returned to [The Moonlight] Inn and ate before sleeping. Tomorrow he will be taking his first Quest.
