The skeleton was carrying Richard by the neck, while walking through the castle.

  Richard’s thoughts: well this is not a good situation, i wonder why an undead is doing all this to me in fact why attacking me and then dragging me around. On second thoughts it doesn’t really matter right now, hm i wonder if could catch him of guard with a shadow ba,,, (his thoughts was interrupted by the skeletons fear skill) on second thoughts that’s impossible.

  as Richard contemplated his next move, they reached a thick iron door which the skeleton opened and then unceremoniously threw Richard inside before slamming the door shut.

  Seriously did he have to be so rough, anyway what kind of dungeon has he thrown me in,,,,, what the hell is this.

  the room was immaculate clean with a bookshelf on one side of the walls filled with books. On the other side was a cabinet with a mirror on top and on the final wall was a small window covered with curtains and a desk in front.

  this room seemed to have belonged to someone important like the commander or maybe even a general. Ok since my body will take time to heal i guess i could use something to read.

  he crawled to the bookshelf with one arm and reached the bottom part of the shelf, he found out that the bottom part was filled with monster encyclopedias.

  well this could be interesting, ok I’ll read this while I recover.

  some time later the skeleton returns.

  what do you want.

  the skeleton moves forward towards him but changes direction towards the shelves and picks a book and brings it to Richard.

  Grimoire of basic support spells can’t i choose the type i want to learn myself.

  the skeleton kicks him away and leaves the room.

  what is the deal with him, breaking my ribs like it doesn’t matter. Whatever I guess I should study support spells.

  30min later,

  this is really useful stuff. I can’t believe how versatile support magic is. It’s pretty much a cheat in becoming stronger and it’s seems i can use it to enhance my natural healing,,, wait did that bone head plan for this. No that’s overthinking things, anyway the spell formula seems pretty easy to learn.

  after a couple of days the now fully recovered Richard had learned multiple supportive spells and even started to read some grimoire in offensive magic, but this stopped after the skeleton returned.

  what is now.

  This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.

  the skeleton threw clothes at him.

  eh where did these come from, no never mind thanks.

  after changing the skeleton grabbed him and dragged him towards the training ground and threw a sword at Richard’s feet.

  so you are giving me a re match, if that’s the case can i get some time to prepare.

  the skeleton nodded.

  good he understood ok then “enhanced durability” “enhanced agility” “enhanced strength” and finally “incineration”.

  as black flames were moving towards the skeleton he moved with quick motions that allowed him to dodge the attack, but this time Richard was able to block one attack but in the next moment the skeleton used a kick. This was countered with Richard activating berserker and grabbed the leg, but afterwards was knocked down by the skeletons fist.

  That hurt serious what is your de,,

  the skeletons dragged the boy towards the center and showed of a proper sword swing.

  yeah you can swing a sword so what.

  he slapped Richard at the back of his head and motioned for him to repeat after him.

  fine if you insist.

  Richard swung the sword with all his might but it didn’t satisfy the skeleton.

  you know I’m actually a mage so,,,(the skeleton use the fear skill) i should try harder.

  this continued with the skeleton showing proper stance and how to move, afterwards Richard repeated the motions for over eight hours while getting hit in the head every time he slipped in his movements, and if he complained or try to make an excuse like needing to rest, eat or go to the bathroom he got hit with the fear skill.

  This can’t be how someone should train a beginner,,, hey i didn’t complain it was just an observation. (That urned him a slap to the head). Fine I’m sorry this is just pretty boring.

  the skeleton took a stance in front of him.

  Am i going to suffer more if i try to run away. (Nodding head). can i use magic. (Shaking head) figures.

  richard launches at the skeleton but with more intent and better coordination than before.

  what is going on here? This is much easier than before, how is that possible shouldn’t I be weaker without magic. I mean i can actually fight him without losing composure now.

  the exchange kept going for a couple of swings until an opening was discovered by Richard.

  there I’ll get a point and get back some dignity.

  when Richard launched at the opening the skeleton maneuver to trip Richard, and as he fell the skeleton rams his sword into Richard’s back.

  seriously do you shove your sword into everyone you teach or is it just me.

  the skeleton pulls out his sword and lifts Richard up by his ankle.

  eh is there something wrong.

  the skeleton started to carry him back to the room a chose a new book for Richard.
