The World Of Game Systems
Chapter 7 - I'm Going to Practice and there's a Rest Area here?

The scorching heat of the sun shone on the surface of this world, towering trees like buildings in my home world, the sound of birds chirping replaced the noise of vehicle exhaust. Fresh air blows here and there like a wave that always moves on the beach, the crowds of people who are active add an atmosphere that is opposite than in the world of my origin.

I forced myself to go out to practice, carrying a sword behind my back. Actually I don't know who it belongs to, because it looks not wearing and full of dust in the warehouse of Taka's house.

With the sword and Mashiro always beside me, I walked to the waterfall where I trained later in the afternoon. The atmosphere in this world is very different, my world full of advanced technology and advanced civilization is defeated by the cool rural environment here.

“After passing this bridge you will find a place where adventurers rest and sell – buy item.” Mashiro directed me.

After crossing the bridge, I entered the place that Mashiro said. This place was vast, filled with people full of fighting equipment. They looked very gallant, some were resting and healing themselves, there were also people selling equipment. When compared to my world, this place is none other than the Rest Area.

“One set Armor for 12 gold coins!”

“Uwahh, we almost died, right?”

“Seriously? 50 Silver coins is too expensive for that!”

Among the adventurers talked about it aloud, as I passed in front of them. That is their marketing technique.

Vibes here feel very warm and full of spirit, no wonder they are adventurers who explore the entire wilderness of the forest.

“Hei, Mashiro. how is the trading system in this world?” I was curious about it and continued the journey with a few leisurely steps.

“As in general, goods with a high level of scarcity are increasingly expensive. Regarding the currency, here there are 3 objects that can be called exchange rates, namely silver coins, gold coins, and gem seeds. 1 jewel seed is equal to 100 gold coins, same is the case with 1 gold coin is 100 silver coins.” Clearly pointing towards the person who bought some equipment

So in this world do not use nominal figures for economic activity as currency, but use coins and gems. It is really similar to the game.

“Do you want to buy something, such as a sword or a protective suit?” Mashiro asked me, maybe she asked that because I was talking about currency.

“Ah, No., I'm not interested in something sa-.”

*bruk!

I bumped into someone who was in front of me, he seemed to be doing that on purpose. Because he used his front body, as if stopping me by force.

“Looks like you're a newcomer huh?” He said with a heavy tone and arrogant face look as if intimidating me who was shorter than him.

He was a man slightly older than me, with a stocky body wrapped in bandages in his hands and in his stomach. Like a fighter who is ready to hit anything in front of him, with a clean head without hair and a fake smile on his face.

“Ignore him! Continue your journey.” Mashiro said it was like warning of an axis connected to an explosive.

“I – yes, Sorry for that because I did not focus earlier.” I bowed my body with the intention of apologizing and respecting him.

The man looked indifferent and gave way without saying a word.

I was grateful for not being such a big deal, and immediately continued on my way.

“The guy is still watching you loh.” Mashiro said as she looked towards the back.

Not wanting to aggravate the situation, I did not turn my head and turned back. I choose not to care about him.

Not long after passing through the resting place of the adventurers I also saw a river that was very swift, the water was very clear to the point of being ready to drink bottled water. This region is still beautiful and not too touched by humans.

“Follow the river flow opposite, soon you will arrive.” Mashiro said while looking at the clear water of this river.

I continued my journey enjoying this tranquil atmosphere, a thousand steps past. Finally I saw the beautiful flow of falling water flowing from a height and through the trajectory of rocks that have been formed hundreds or even thousands of years ago.

The waterfall here is very high, it may take 2 trees to measure its height. Very fresh charm, splashing water accompanied by birdsong, as well as shady tree trees into jewelry that adds its own beauty.

“Alright, how do I start it.” I said as I pulled the sword behind me.

I tried to focus in the middle of the natural atmosphere of the waterfall. I tried to get rid of what went in my ear, the splashing of water, the chirping of birds, and the sound of leaves being blown by the wind.

“Eh? I don't feel Skill - I'm active.”

“Are you stupid! Skill - you are active if you are lured by Rhythm.” Mashiro hit me on the head with her hand.

“I – yes, but how do I buzz the rhythm if there is no music here.” I'm confused.

“Basic, is it a rhythm only from music? Try to see a puddle of water that goes along its trajectory, is not it like a rhythm? Then the bird that flies in the air, every flap of its wings also counts as rhythm.” Mashiro explained as she looked towards the motion of the free birds in the clouds.

“…”

I don't know what to do, but as far as I know rhythm is regular and repetitive. Comparing it to objects around is a little similar, but to focus on it is very difficult.

“But-.”

“No need to say but, you have not tried it directly. Now show your focus on following the rhythm of the bird.” It clearly cut my speech and pointed at the bird that was on top of the tree.

“Alright....” reply me in a lethargic tone.

Both of my eyes were fixed on the bird, I tried to ignore everything around me to focus on that one bird. Not long after that the bird flapped its wings and went flying. Without me realizing my head was following his movements, my two eyes could not be separated from where the bird was flying.

The longer, the more focus I used to watch the free-flying birds grew stronger. I feel like everything is empty, just me and the bird. I was also aware of the rhythm that Mashiro meant, when flapping his wings I saw the reflection of the water wave that was under the bird.

I slowly began to understand the rhythm system in my vision, every flap of wings was reflected by the waves of water under his body. And before flapping my wings again, I saw a faint hint of reflection in front of the bird, where the spot would likely be the location to flap its wings again.

“I can!” Shouted me for being able to feel the effects of my 'Escalation' Skill.

“Crue? In other words you can read the rhythm of a movement by just looking at it, it includes the Skill 'Escalation' effect that occurs in your head.” Clearly with a happy expression.

“In short, I can predict the movements of my opponents when I fight?” I was shocked when I stung Mashiro's words and almost didn't believe it.

“Not entirely wrong, although it will not be too influential if you fight a clever and agile enemy. But at least you can handle it a little.” Reply with a horse show – horses holding a sword.

I can't believe what's going on in my body, how can I predict movement just by looking at the rhythm? Doesn't that include looking at the future? But it could have been my prediction wrong, because rhythm is a reworked movement. If only the enemy I was facing had a lot of movement I would not be able to handle it.

“Omong – crap you can use Aoi sword – kun?” Mashiro asked by looking at the way I held the sword.

“Eh? Isn't this how it is?” I showed the grip of my sword, with the position of the thumb and forefinger parallel to the grip. It's like a forehand in badminton.

I actually have no experience using a sword. No, I mean in the modern world who would also play the sword. So I held this sword as I held a racket. Moreover, I have never been to a fighting club like taekwondo or kendo.

“What is your fool's depth? How can you attack with such a slanted sword? You are looking for death!?” His screams scolded me.

“….”

“Basic, how else. So you hold this sword with both hands, then the grip of the palm should not be too tight. Relax, at the same time not loose, the wrist must be flexible.” Mashiro explained that while moving my hand.

It's a little embarrassing, it's the first time my hand has been held by a girl. A little soft and warm.

“Ah, so like this yes. I feel a little comfortable.” I said while moving my hand.

“Try how you swing your sword.”

*Slash

The sound of the sword I was swinging sounded like it was splitting the wind, I felt a different sensation than before. And a pop up appeared in front of me.

[Role is only obtained because it has learned a certain skill]

[Swordman level 1]

[The given pass is the damage given increases by 1% if using the sword and increases the effectiveness of sword movement,]

“Hah? A swordman? Whatisit? New role for swinging a sword like this?” I said confused.

“Ti – no, it's perfect. In terms of movement and strength is enough to be considered to have that Role, I'm surprised you can get that on your first try.” Mashiro was surprised and astonished.

I guess I only sing swords in general, but if I get this role means I've been said to be quite able to use a sword.

“Omong crap does every role you have there must be a way to get it? And whether the effect given is different depending on the Role obtained?”

As a result of the pop up, my head was filled with questions about the continuation of the system and some basic knowledge in this world.

“True, all Role in this world definitely represents the expertise possessed. For example Yogairu, he has Role ‘Assassin’ for killing someone's life quickly and unnoticed. The effect given is also different.”

The role that Yogairu has is a little scary, on the condition of killing without being discovered to get all of it. And I'll be his opponent later.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you. You can get as many Role as you want, but can only receive 2 effects from the Role that you prioritize. You can change it by saying ‘my role’.” Mashiro obviously continued her words.

'My Role’

Out of curiosity with the Role I have I said it.

[My Role]

[Priority]

[Swordman level 1]

[Residents of Level 2 Villages]

[Other skills]

[Student level 4]

'Ah…. I don't expect too much with this body, well I'll try.'

My inner self after reading some Role at my sight, naturally this was a fact that referred to in the soul of an earlier 'Aoi.

I spent my time practicing the sword and increasing my physical strength. Like running, climbing a cliff, and swimming. Once I also honed a Skill - me.

The rocks and the air will bear witness to how I began this heavy journey, the wind blowing, the sunlight starting to sting, the sweat from my body pouring out like tears in its own right.

The scorching sun reminded me of training to fight later in the afternoon, so I stopped my training and intended to save some energy for later. And started washing my body and then came back.

Seriate.....
