Role

Chapter 3

Having survived the life or death experience, Ubankoz had finally decided to
walk down the path of an adventurer and not just any but to learn how to fight
and defend himself with his own power. The first stop on this arduous journey
was for him to make his way into the academy. There he learned of the plethora
of talents spread across the lands. At first he had anticipated that he may
have to learn of magic or some special powers but each time he decided to
study, the experience would flood his thoughts, bringing him pain and
frustration.

Before long, he came into a place that smelled of sweat and dried blood. After
introductions, he found himself with a broken fist and a bleeding lip and
discovered that his way of speaking mattered little compared to aptitude. It
was then that he knew the life of a warrior was to be his. He picked up some
basics in defense, hand fighting and blades before setting off to learn better
how it was that he was going to wage his war.

War, he discovered the term while studying the way of the warrior. Roughly
translated, he found that it refers to a series of skirmishes, battles, and
conflicts which are centered around an ideal or creed. There were many wars,
both physical and mentally and this is what attracted him to the study of it.
He would use it and the tactics associated with it to take on magic for having
been used to try to kill him and for having rejected him.
