[Good luck]
Victor and his group appeared near the town of Orari, namely in the forest. After a few seconds, everyone noticed an atmosphere filled with a mixture of magical power and divinity.
At the same time, Victor noticed the tasks that the system provided him with.
"System have you ever seen a master who fought in close combat with various monsters? And don't talk about Emiya Shiro, because this is the most walking mistake of the entire Fate universe. And also a Whitefish from the apocrypha, because he merged with Siegfried. And I will keep silent about some members of team A"
[Right. The task of the master is to be in a safe place and give orders to his servants. But it works in the holy grail war. In FGO, the masters stand with the servants on the battlefield and support them with various spells. But don't forget that you caused anomalies by preserving Olga's soul. Thereby changing the plot and increasing the probability of your death. Therefore, you must learn to fight on your own.]
-"Then maybe, like in some MMORPG games, you'll give me a starter kit?"Victor wasn't completely confident in his natural talents in battle. After all, he was an ordinary average player without any talents.
[Request accepted. Processing the optimal solution.]
[You get a starter skill pack that includes:
Basic Swordsmanship
Basic spear proficiency
Basic bow proficiency
Basic methods of self-treatment
Basic melee techniques]
Victor, after receiving the starter pack, immediately felt all the experience and knowledge of weapon possession, melee combat and treatment.
Although the system did not give any weapons, but the skills are much better than weapons.
While Victor was mastering his new skills, the rest of the group began to inspect the forest.
Archer, with the eagle eye skill, could clearly see the city of Orari in the distance.
- "Master. It looks like we appeared about five kilometers from the city. I see that there are guards at the gate who check the carriages, merchants and various people who want to enter the city. Although saying "checking people" is not entirely accurate. I saw more dwarves and a small number of elves, but I don't think that these are all races that live in this city.
At the same time, Lancer Cu, seeing his surroundings, gave himself up to memories.
- "I remember when I was still a youngster I hunted a lot in the forest. Especially for wild boars because their meat was the juiciest, unlike bear meat. Master, we will go hunting for a while and get us some food." Lancer Cu was about to go, but Victor stopped him.
-"Cu Chulainn! Don't attract too much attention while hunting. And if possible, you can save the prey as best as possible, namely the skins. Since we are not just in a singularity, but in another world, we will be here for a long time. Therefore, we need to earn money for our existence as soon as possible. By selling a few skins, we can somehow survive inside the city."
Victor remembered an anime where one boy got into another world with a stupid goddess and they had no money. And they had to work on a construction site and sleep in a stable. Victor wanted to avoid such an outcome.
Da Vinci looked at Victor with a little surprise.
- "Victor, and you are making good progress in the role of a master. You can already understand how to survive in a completely unfamiliar place and at the same time integrate quickly into an unfamiliar environment. As your senior comrade, I'm a little proud of you," Da Vinci looked at Victor with a smile.
Victor wanted to answer Da Vinci's words when a call came from Dr. Roman.
- "I was finally able to contact you! It seems that due to the fact that this singularity does not relate to the original human history, the signal for communication is very bad, but it's good that Da Vinci went with you. She had already thought about a possible situation and took a signal booster with her" - Dr. Roman was a little tense on the screen because he thought that the Da Vinci device was not working, but then relaxed.
-"Naturally, as the greatest genius, I foresaw possible problems. Don't worry Roman. While I'm here, the connection with Chaldea will never be interrupted" - Da Vinci lifted her glasses, which she does not have at all. But it didn't bother her in any way.
- "Good. Then I go into standby mode. But I will monitor your situation from here. If you find anything unusual, then let me know." - After that, Dr. Roman switched off.
"Well, then I think we will spend this night in the forest. I think we should make a bonfire to cook the food. Mash can you help me by collecting dry branches?" - Victor decided that it would be better to wait out this night in the forest and, if possible, after seeing people, ask them about the city. And they will definitely meet people because they are not far from the city.
"Then Sir Bedivere and I will also go hunting wild animals," said Lancelot and went with Bedivere deep into the forest.
Ozymandias decided to stay in the camp, as did Nitocris.
Katou Danzou and Archer were guarding the camp.
Li Shuwen was free and after building a bonfire, Victor decided to approach him to ask him for advice about melee.
Although Victor was average in everything, he still had a good physical fitness and he went to martial arts school for 6 years, but it was purely for an amateur.
The maximum amount of magical power will be very useful to him. After all, he will be able to strengthen his body with the help of magic power to make strong attacks at the level of servants.
And since Victor already had a little experience in martial arts and with the skill "Basic melee techniques", he decided to learn from Li Shuwen.
"Do you want to learn melee from me?. Haha! What a purposeful master I have. As a servant and as a follower of martial arts, I cannot refuse your request. To begin with, we will conduct a little sparring to find out your fighting style" - Li Shuwen was a little pleased with Victor's request. After all, he hasn't taught anyone for a long time.
Victor took a stand and waited for Li Shuwen's attack.
- "I see. So your style is based on defense and counterattacks. This is quite commendable because most choose attacking fighting styles for a quick end to the fight. But in the battle of the masters, fights can drag on for a long time, and your stamina can quickly run out. Therefore, I will check your effectiveness." After these words, Li Shuwen quickly ran at Victor.
A moment later, he was next to Victor and swung for a blow. Victor was counting on where his fist would hit to parry it and counterattack, but suddenly he felt a pain in his stomach.
With a small cry, Victor flew about three meters.
Masha saw this and wanted to come and help Victor, but Da Vinci stopped her.
"We'd better not bother Victor. After all, he wants to become stronger, and it is almost impossible to become stronger without experiencing pain" - Da Vinci looked at Victor with a complicated look, as did Mash.
Victor finally got up from the ground, but he had a very bad stomach ache. He almost threw up, but he was able to restrain himself.
- "I would say that you have a foundation, but there is no fighting mindset. Maybe you didn't notice my blow with your own eyes, but I saw how your muscles were already straining for protection. But that's okay. Experience will come with time. In the meantime, let's continue our studies," Li Shuwen said and took off his cloak.
Thus, Victor trained until those who went hunting came.
The servants who came were surprised by Victor's zeal for learning and offered their help. Victor agreed, but he no longer had the strength to continue.
And when night had already fallen, Victor fell into a deep sleep.
