Once again, I DO NOT own Ragnarok(and so I wish I did). Oh yeah, sorry about the delay, I was busy kicking other players butts in Ragnarok.


Chapter2: The Test



--We last left our novice in Izlude, outside the Swordsman guild--

"C'mon Melanie! I'm so excited!" shouted Robert while kicking the door open

"Wait Robert, don't do that!" Melanie trying to catch up

"Hello swordsmans! The gr...."

Just before he could finish screaming inside, a sword was put on his throaght

"Stop where you are, thief!" the swordman, who is threathening Robert to stop, yelled.

"Huh? What are you talking about? I'm only......" trying to explain who he is, Robert was interrupted again

"Shut up! You are not given permission to talk in this place, you hear me!" the swordman spoke

"Y..Yes sir!" Robert answered

"I said quiet!"

"That is enough Granndal!" Melanie ordered the boy

"Yes.. Miss Melanie!"

"Granndal, can't you see his outfit?"

"Yes I can ma'm! He's a no..... A NOVICE!?" surprised to see that Robert is a novice, he is embarrased

"Hey, don't you call me a novice! Thats why I came here to be a swordsman!" he angrily shouted at the top of his voice

"I am... terribly sorry!" Granndal, apologizing for his earlier actions

"Well, enough of the formalities. Granndal, please tell my friend here what he has to do." said Melanie

"Yes M'lady. Now Mr.?" Granndal not knowing the novice's name

"Robert, my name is Robert!"

"Ok, Mr.Robert. Your test is simple. There is a cave here under the guild, which is filled with fabres and familiars. The objective is to get to the other exit of the cave in 5 hours maximum. This is for us to know your bravery and determination. If you pass, your reward is Swordsmanship. If you fail to get there in 5 hours, we will come and get you, and you will not be allowed to take the exam again. You will be given 10 minutes to pack up, Is it clear?" Granndal explaining the exam

"Uh huh, yeah...... I HATE CAVES! It's so itchy and wet! You know, I just bought this cotton shirt I'm wearing right now! It cost me 20z!" Robert denying to take that exam

"You know, Robert. If you pass this and become a swordsman, they will give you that sword and that armor set for free!" Melanie, trying to give Robert a determination.

"What did you say? Alright! I'll pack up right away!" filled with joy, he is now willing to take it.

--Ten Minutes later--

"All set Mr.Robert?" asked Granndal

"Yup, 5 hours max right?"

"Yes sir, Lady Melanie and I will be waiting for you on the other side."

"Goodluck, Robert!" said Melanie

"Don't worry. I won't let you down!"

And so our novice went down the steps and in to the dark and wet cave.

"Please don't fail, your father will be very happy if you reach up to Knight class." Melanie, whispering to Robert

Robert has been in this cave for about three and a half hours, but is still determined to finish his task

"I..must..keep...going!"*THUD* Lossing each and every ounce of energy in his body, he collapsed in the cave

"Why, why now! How come it must end now! I promised Miss Melanie, ever since I was a child....that I will become as famous like King Robert. And I can't even reach swordsmanship!? I.. am..*ligth coming out of a huge hole*a... failure...."


And there, it ended. What could possibly be next for Robert, after this. Find out in Chapter 3.
