Angelo Level 3 | HP: 60/60 | |
Morning Stretches? Check. Morning Exercise? Check. Morning Breakfast? Check. He was ready. Angelo walked out of the inn from where he ate his Mickey Ds breakfast and was now on his way outside the walls of the town. His objective for today? Testing out the new dukes he received on the second floor. Just acquiring the cestus was hard work already. He had to spend practically an entire day constantly punching the biggest boulder in existence on the second floor and break it. Do you know how many punches a person can throw in a single minute? Multiply that by sixty, then multiply that by thirteen. That would be the approximate number of strikes the white-haired boy threw at the immobile rock before it broke apart.
A small shudder crept up his spine while thinking about that day. Because the cestus did the same amount of damage as the other beginner weapons, it would have made sense for Angelo to begin practicing on the very first floor and re-build his way up. It was a new skill, at least for Aincrad. In reality, the boy had already learned his own family's martial arts style of Ryuuha Koei Sougetsu
which he planned on incorporating into Aincrad's system. As he stood at the gates to the Great Plains, he brought down his menu and accessed his equipment sub-menu. From there, he chose the cestus and watched as his hands began glowing blue before the knuckle guards appeared.
"Alrighty. Let's see what I can do with this new weapon." While walking out of the gates, a few players stared and commented on his lack of a weapon. Some were even pointing at his back while speaking in hushed tones. It was very rare to see someone go out without a weapon visible; if only they knew that the small strip of cloth wrapped around his fists were just as strong as the beginner swords everyone started with. Angelo opted not to equip his leather headgear nor his beginner armor, practically leaving him defenseless against the wild mobs outside of town. All he had on was a gray T-shirt, black denim pants, a small silver necklace, and of course the cestus on his hands. The first boar he spotted was sniffing at the grass and flowers, possibly trying to find food or some kind of scent trail. Regardless, this would be his very first opponent to test it on.
Angelo whistled at the boar, his white hair flowing diagonally because of the wind blowing in a westerly direction. The boar looked up, turned its head, saw the boy, and pouted in anger. A small puff of air came out of the boar's snout as it turned its body in his direction, its leg kicking the floor. And then it charged. He too charged directly at the boar, his arms swinging back and forth, building momentum for the blow. Just before they made contact, he lunged straight at the boar and threw his fist directly into the piggy's snout, taking off a good third of its health. The momentum of both combatants made them crash together into a small heap. The boy rolled away, a bit dizzy from the sudden stop so he could put some distance between the boar. His own health dropped slightly, which Angelo berated himself for. He was being too foolhardy and underestimated the boar, something he shouldn't let himself do again. The boy stood up and brushed excess dirt off his pants even as the boar got up and charged at him a second time. He stood his ground and raised his fists up to his chest. Just before the boar would make contact a second time, he jumped forwards and brought both of his feet down onto the back of the pig, making it eat dirt as it slid forward a couple of meters.
"Even with my feet, I can do damage. That's nice to know. Able to use my entire body for my techniques is a requirement.. haha." He landed and rolled forward, quickly turning his body to face the sliding boar. Teeth showed on his face as Angelo was feeling the adrenaline rush through his digital body. "Come on little piggy. You can do it."
Egging the boar on was pretty much moot. It was already enraged and would have already charged at him in any case. The monster not even knowing what he is saying even further proves that point. In any case, Angelo began sprinting towards the boar even as it got back onto its feet. Before it had any chance to react, he performed a flying jump kick onto the boar's backside, bringing its health points down to zero. It flopped around the grassy floor before coming to a complete stop. It immediately shattered into pixelated pieces soon after. The teen stood up and looked around. He needed to get used to fighting beasts like boars and wolves and see how he can change his tactics when fighting unarmed.
