3 Galdafa

I was brought to a big underground cavern, where there are a lot of tents, and a big one in the middle.

I was curious when I first got there, but, all of my curiosity left immediately after I felt the strong pressure in the big tent, no one else felt the same as I did which led me to believe that I am the weakest in my group.

Realizing that I am weaker than the rest even though I am the only one that has the system, my pride couldn't handle the beatings and is left in crumbles, but, I can't do anything about it so I'll leave that be and forget about it, thinking back, the kobolds and goblins that I fought in the past might be the outcast of the bunch.

Feeling disheartened, I followed them into a cone-shaped tent, the tent wasn't big nor small, it stood in the middle, but that didn't mean the group I was in could fit into the tent comfortably.

If I were a living creature I wouldn't like this, but guess what, I'm not a living creature.

Looking at the center of the tent I can see the ogre I fought in order to get my rank, soon after thinking that, it started talking, " Yo trainer wi be this guy ova ther." After saying this he pointed at someone, and that someone started to head to the center where that ogre is standing at.

That man said, " You lot will be under my care, my name is Bob, and whatever I say will become the rules, unless if any higher-ups tell you anything, get it." surprised by both his deep voice and also he could speak fluent English, he looks somewhat like a dwarve you normally see in RPG games, except he has no long beard, he looks around 4 feet and has a huge war axe on his back.

He seems to be as strong as the ogre, but I had to reconsider that quickly, the ogre is a lot stronger than Bob, the way I can tell is by feeling how strong their pressure is.

Bob suddenly said, "Now that introductions are over with why don't we head over to the training grounds shall we." Everyone starts to head over to the exit, it's like a river with a current you cannot fight, so naturally, I have to go with them or I might get trampled over.

After getting out of the tent we head to the north side of the cave, I start to wonder where we're heading at.

At a distance, I can see an opening which led to a forest, while walking to the opening I start to wonder again, 'am I really at the bottom of the food chain?' I asked myself, I really can't help but to ask myself over and over again.

Getting outside of the cave I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the forest, there are many animals, and a waterfall, it seems that it could reach the heavens themselves.

Walking for a good couple of minutes we finally reach our destination, it's a huge open plain field where there isn't a single tree.

We start to head to the center of the field, where there is barely any grass on the ground, probably because other things practice here.

Still wondering about things, I halted in my thoughts when I heard a deep voice saying " Gather around and form a line," I can easily distinct that voice, and it belongs to Bob.

I went along with my fellow comrades to the center and started forming a line. "All living creatures go to the right side and all non-living creatures go to my left side" Bob yelled

I did as he said, I went to the left side.

Going to the left side and waiting for a couple of minutes, I see that no one else is on the left side, Suddenly realizing that I am the only non-living creature.

Bob started to chant some words, I couldn't decipher what they meant or what he's doing.

After he finished chanting, a circle appeared on the ground, and a creature appeared out of nowhere, I was baffled.

The creature resembles an elf, its a male and has a weapon shaped like a katana on his back, I still did not know what Bob was trying to do until he called out to me, " You, get over here," I stayed silent and walked over to him and stood in front of him.

"You are the only non-living creature so you are going to be training under my familiar, his name is Galdafa."

"Wh-?"

That's all I could mutter out until he cut me off, " Don't disrespect me! If you show any Disrespect to anyone higher than you we won't show you any shred of mercy and kill you."

Still confused, but chose to remain silent, I didn't want to anger him.

Bob told us to go to a different section and start my training, arriving there he started to talk with me, "Hello, as you just have heard my name is Galdafa, And you are under my care."

I am shocked, Galdafa is totally different from Bob, he is much nicer than Bob.

"Hello," That's all I managed to let out, afraid of disrespecting him,

"No need to be shy around me," he said, " I am not like my master, I don't care about honorifics or any of that crap."

Letting out a sigh I said, " that's good to hear, I am horrible with honorifics," I said in a matter-of-fact tone. "That's great, you started to let your guard down around me."

???

What did he mean about that, he saw my puzzled face and gave an explanation " I won't give a depth explanation for the moment, I'll just give a brief explanation for now, so when you feel like you are threatened you seem paranoid and you keep your guard up, that's when you have your guard up. ( A/N: I have no idea how to describe it)

"Ok," That's all I said, "Alright, we should start getting ready to start training if we don't want Bob to get mad now do we. "Yes, we should get started" I replied.
