130. Exercises

   ""Congratulations on your graduation, Rudeus/brother!""

Deus, Mira, and his uncle and aunt are in a family restaurant, celebrating Deus's graduation, just over three years after Deus began his first semester.

Although it can be said to celebrate, in fact they only eat together simply in the restaurant. Guests of this restaurant will not think they are celebrating something because the dishes ordered are very simple and minimal expenditure.

At first Deus wanted to order more money, only to be banned by his uncle. Today is Deus' happy day, it's not good if it's his own people who spend money.

Behind his activities in the virtual world that is so active, Deus actually took many short semesters and always did his job well, no wonder he graduated so quickly and was respected by his classmates.

   "By the way Deus, what are you doing after this? Do you want to apply for a job somewhere?"

   "So, I don't really intend to work."

Actually, Deus's initial plan after graduation was to find a job that was not too burdensome, but after getting Solid Gear and playing Orbis Online thanks to his good deeds, he said, he felt that working in a company that was big enough would not be able to provide a salary of his income playing Orbis Online.

How not, if only Deus intends to sell Blackstar in Orbis Forum, it is not impossible that the sword will sell up to billions of rupiah and the money can be used as capital to build a rented house or the like.

The thought had crossed his mind, but never once did he really intend to sell it. Better he look for other high-value Items or make Potions in large quantities, income from selling activities that can beat the average salary of Indonesian citizens.

Mira himself can guess Deus wants to keep playing Orbis Online while making money from there, considering that his online store is always crowded with beginner level players. Although the Items and Potions he sold were not very good, the quantity was truly terrifying for a solo player.

As a fellow player who also made money from there, Mira also quite often sold the Items he found to the NPC, but he never sold them at the Orbis Forum. Thanks to that he could earn a little, how could Deus not be tempted by this luxury?

Mira knows the character of Deus quite well regardless he is not very familiar with it, he believes Deus can play while making a living through Orbis Online, just like other professional players.

After all, Deus is currently hunted by many Legions to be recruited as a member due to the video containing his fight against three Knights whose levels differ much at that time, it only took time for Deus to reveal his identity and known to all Orbis Online players.

It is unlikely that Deus will stop playing Orbis Online seeing this much advantage, even if he plays as a professional player.

They chatted for a while to fill free time while eating the dishes they ordered, after which they returned to their respective homes. Mira follows her uncle and aunt as they still live in one house with them.

Deus himself did not go home, but took a walk first looking for fresh air considering the last few weeks he continued to be in Orbis Online because he had to train under Randolf's guidance.

Randolf's training was hard and tight enough that Deus often thought he was going to die from the practice, but fortunately his character status was not low. If only he trained in the real world with that exercise, maybe he needed some hospital treatment.

He sighed many times considering Randolf's terrible training, even Ikshan who had been in training often complained how hard this exercise was.

Deus himself did not see any other choice, after all the training given Randolf is not only about the physical but also the technique. His swordplay became much better than before under Randolf's instructions, as did Ikshan who also practiced.

Although Randolf's main weapon is a sword, he also has the ability to play various types of weapons well, one of which is a kusarigama and a giant scythe. At least Ikshan kusarigama game became much better, even his Scythe Arts skill leveled up several times following the development of Sword Arts Deus which also increased rapidly.

Deus was not inexhaustible, how could someone so skilled as Randolf master so many types of weapons?

Trang! Trang! Trang!

The clink of iron rang out second after second as sparks were created from the clash of Reus and Randolf's swords.

Now that Reus had reached the point where he was training with a real sword against Randolf, they had always trained with a wooden sword or a dull metal sword.

   "Let's use all your abilities or you'll regret it!"

After saying that Randolf sped up his attack making Reus overwhelmed to fend off or avoid it. It is true that his Sword Arts skill has developed considerably thanks to Randolf's training, but he has never won even against Randolf in sword techniques.

Indeed, when viewed in terms of level or status Randolf far superior, but Randolf has a skill that is able to reduce his level and status temporarily and the skill is being used so that this match practice is not biased, but still it is not very useful.

   "Swings! Dragon Smite!"

Not accepting he was always cornered, Reus then deployed his two favorite skills to attack Randolf but the man was able to avoid it easily.

Reus' attack did not stop there, he immediately moved his hand and body trying not to kill the momentum of his two skills, then released it again towards Randolf while the skill was still active.

Randolf was made a little surprised by him, not expecting Reus to outsmart two skills that should only be active in one slash. He also mastered this ability, only Reus had never shown this ability to Randolf.

But despite using skill and consecutive attacks, Randolf can avoid everything easily as he had predicted all Reus attacks. He then swung his sword at Reus, ending his match practice with himself as the 79th time winner.

   "As usual, I can't win from the teacher."

Reus could only smile wryly watching how easy Randolf was to counterattack amid his successive attacks.

   "No-no, you can be proud of being able to make me activate one of my best skills."

Randolf pointed at his eyes when he said that, but Reus did not understand what he meant. Not once did Reus see Randolf activate the skill, all of his movements were nothing as special as the other skills.

   "You don't have to think too hard, sooner or later you'll find out, or even get it."

Randolf laughed out loud finishing his words, then had Ikshan practice his kusariga game through match practice as usual.

Reus could not stop wondering, how could Randolf have that much power? He was indeed unable to make Randolf sweat, but directly holding a battle drill against Ikshan was not excessive? At least that's what Reus thinks.
