Solo Arc Chapter 12: Guilds First Mission

Jaune and his friends had a somewhat normal week all things considered. Except that their training had more than doubled. And with Iron out and about to give them pointers the group was enjoying the training despite how exhausting it was becoming to even Pyrrha, Yang, Nora, and Yatsu who were their heavy hitters. Iron really pushed them to their limits. Jaune even managed to grab a new training quest level to help him improve even faster and with his friends helping him train every day he was feeling the exhaustion and the growth faster.

His friends and new girlfriends were more than happy to help him push himself to his limits in training everyday. And it did show as he tried his best to help not only himself grow, but his friends as well. He also made sure he felt every bit of the training by saving up both stats and the shop points. He also had a surprise for his friends and a separate surprise for his girlfriends later in the week to reward them for their efforts.

– Tuesday –

Jaune was mulling over the new training requirements and noticed the 3 spars. It was after class and he fought a powerful student. The student had a unique weapon where he was able to form weapons out of dust from a special silver colored jacket. He was a tricky opponent, but with his stats he managed to overwhelm him and scrape out a win. The guy was a good sport too, but still wanted a rematch with Jaune.

Jaune agreed and noticed his spar counter read 1/3 completed. So to get clarification from the system what a spar is he decided to ask while in the training gym, his friends were all training their bodies right now and doing what they needed to do to try and catch up to Jaunes growth. Glancing to make sure no one else was around to ask why he was talking to himself he asks, "Hey system, I got done with everything from combat class and my morning warm ups, but what exactly counts as a spar?"

~Well player Jaune, a spar in this condition means one event of two options. First option is to do a training spar, it must result in at least 15% of your fatigue gauge, last more than 10 minutes, and make you actually sweat. The second option is an actual spar that makes you drain your fatigue gauge by at least 25% and last at least 5 minutes. There is a third option, but you technically figured that one out, and official sanctioned match in the arena that has rules, audience, and so on.~

Jaune opens his mouth to reply before he closes it and thinks a bit, then he answers, "So essentially actual fights are counted under spars? At least when they are sanctioned matches like today's class?"

~Correct, as they are called training matches or practice fights, they all fall under sparring matches. If it is an actual street fight then it won't be counted as it would fall under life and death situations and a different quest would be issued similar to the dungeon survival quests.~

Jaune nods to himself and then asks one more question, "What if I sparred against two or more people in one sparring match? Would that count as 2 or more spars? Or would that still be 1?"

~That would still be only one match but it would have a chance of rewarding you with items, stats, or shop points.~

Jaune grins to himself and nods once more, he sees the counter is still at 1/3 and then heads to the sparring mats, while thinking about who would help him train effectively for the quests requirements.
