At this point, Noah had become familiar with this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the instructor appointed for this class was none other than Victor Hale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood in front of them, a dirt-blonde-haired man. He was around six feet tall with a well-built physique, wearing a black suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sharp green eyes scanned the students, his face strict and composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was one of the strongest heroes in the human empire. As strong as Morgana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was known for his mastery over multiple weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man from a commoner background, who had risen to become one of the fiercest figures in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah had heard many things about him. How he could use multiple weapons effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor stood with his hands behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept across the entire class before he finally spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was calm, yet carried a natural authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Weapon Arts are not just techniques.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall fell silent instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all have weapons. Some of you swing them. Some of you stab. Some of you rely on brute strength. Some on speed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, his eyes narrowing slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But none of that matters if you do not understand your weapon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began walking slowly in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The difference between a beginner and a true combatant is not talent. It is understanding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped. Then continued, \"A sword is not just for cutting. A spear is not just for thrusting. A bow is not just for shooting arrows.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze hardened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A weapon is an extension of your body. And your body is an extension of your intent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some students unconsciously straightened their posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A martial manual is not just a set of instructions. It is the experience of someone who has already walked the path you are trying to walk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised one finger. \"It teaches you efficiency.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another finger. \"It teaches you control. And most importantly... it teaches you how to survive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes moved across the class again. \"Many of you think power comes from strength or mana.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head slightly. \"Power comes from application.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and pointed toward the weapon racks placed at the side of the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A weak strike at the right time is more deadly than a powerful strike at the wrong time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence filled the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Noah was listening seriously now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor crossed his arms. \"For bow users... your weapon is not just your hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must understand distance. Wind. Timing. Movement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A single arrow... if used correctly... can decide the outcome of a battle before it even begins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shifted his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For close combat users... positioning matters more than strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You step wrong once... and you die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold chill ran through some of the students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor’s voice remained steady. \"You will learn many things in this academy. Spells, techniques, and theory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But without proper weapon mastery... all of it is meaningless in real combat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let those words sink in. Then, after a brief pause, his tone changed slightly. \"Now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned fully toward the class. \"I will be assigning each of you a martial art manual.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murmurs spread instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor raised his hand. \"Silence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The murmurs stopped immediately. \"This is not optional.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice turned firm. \"It is compulsory to learn the martial art I give you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you already possess a strong manual for your main weapon... then you will receive one for your secondary weapon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at them one by one. \"I do not care about your status. Noble or commoner. Talent or no talent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will decide what suits you.\" Then he called out the first name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damien Ashworth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien stepped forward calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor looked at him for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Primary weapon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sword.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Secondary?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"None.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor nodded slightly. \"You already possess a strong sword foundation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extended his hand. A faint glow appeared, and a manual materialized. \"You will take this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien received it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"[Twin Edge Flow]. A dual-blade combat style. You will begin learning it. Dual short swords. It will be easy since you only have one profession.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien nodded. \"Yes, Instructor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next. Kaelan Nighfall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, names were called.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor’s gaze shifted as it was Noah’s turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Noah Eldritch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah stepped forward. Victor looked at him for a longer time than others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sharp green eyes seemed to analyze everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What profession? I mean, which weapon you use as primary weapon among them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, Noah decided to lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spear. And I have a very good weapon art for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... Secondary?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah paused slightly. \"...bow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor’s gaze sharpened slightly. He observed Noah for a while. \"Okay. Take this one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out a manual from his storage ring and handed it to Noah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah took it and looked at the name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Flowing String Archery]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Instructor. Thank you for this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bowed to him slightly as a gesture of gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor looked at him one last time before speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not waste it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah gave a slight nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Noah went back, while Victor continued distributing. After completing it, Victor stepped back and looked at the entire class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all have one week.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice turned cold again. \"Show me results.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence filled the hall once more. The real training had just begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright! Now it’s time to try something new.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, Noah was holding a bow in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, a bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason why he told Victor that he uses a bow as a secondary weapon was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had gotten a new profession called Combatant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where he could use most weapons at a basic level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his profession level increased, his proficiency would increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The manual art he had gotten worked on all weapons that had a blade. So getting a manual for a spear, sword, or any other weapon having a blade was not worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he chose a weapon on which his Frozen Lotus Blade Art was not usable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s my first time trying to use a bow. Let’s practice first and then try to learn my new martial art manual.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1034,"2026-06-05T19:56:14.521Z",1,"novelbin.me","f9cbfc5199d7d182d97a23e862807d0775cded6e8e3bbf9c24bccaf95440047d","extra-s-path-the-eternal-frost-monarch-chapter-71","extra-s-path-the-eternal-frost-monarch-chapter-69",144,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fextra-s-path-the-eternal-frost-monarch-cover.jpg"]
