Y/N POV
Many people always have that one thing in that life that will make them realize how much they hate a person. For me it's King Jacques, and his brats, Whitely and Weiss, I heard Winter was alright, left the castle to become a General in the military to help the poor folk like my family and I. Well the worst comes when I came home to see my father in bed with a sickness, he's forced to stay out of work. I was up against the wall with my eyes closed. There was a knock at the door, my mother opened it to reveal a courier. He gave her a letter and ran off.
Mother: Y/N!!
Me: what is it?
Mother: your father isn't doing well, good needs to be put on the table for us to live, you are getting a job as a knight
Me: excuse me? A knight? You mean serving those bastards in the castles? The bastards who made us poor in the first place.
Mother: you are to go to that castle and get that job
Me: and if I don't?
Mother: then we will be throw to the wolves, we haven't paid rent in three months, one more month goes by and we are homeless
Me: fine ma...I'll go to this damned Schnee thing
I walked over to my cot and grabbed my sword
Mother: I'm sure they'll supply you with swords
Me: I prefer this one
I opened the door and made my way to the castle, there was a crowd of people, my mother will be lucky if I'm even noticed.
TimeSkip half an hour
There were like twenty guys, the other fifty probably already worked here. I heard the sound of rich and asshole, Jacques' approaching.
Jacques: hello Gentlemen, welcome to my Castle, we are looking for the best of the best, and I want to see what you already know, one at a time you will be fighting the best soldier in the Royal Army, with a total of two hundred and sixty three kills, starting with.....you
He pointed right at me
Me: me?
Jacques: yes you, I'm pointing at you aren't I
Me: hey I wouldn't know, let's just get this done.
I pulled out my sword, I heard a few people chuckling, yeah it's an older sword, but I'm pretty sure I could kill any one of them without breaking a sweat with this thing.
Jacques: that's your weapon?
Me: who's else would it be
He scoffed and walked off to the side, next to him was Weiss, she was wearing a light blue dress, I guess being stuck up is the way of life around here....I might have to kill myself if that's the case.
Jacques: bring out the Warrior
A man in golden armor came through two doors, wielding a giant club.
Golden Man: you're my first fight
Me: trust me, you're going to be the last
I noticed Weiss talking to Jacques on the sideline.
Let's see, club, will hurt if I'm hit, but will take a few seconds to get it into swinging position, quick strikes will be able to bring him down if I attack the shoulders and rib area, the joints would hurt to break...
Jacques: commence the fight
The golden knight looked at me and raised his club, I dashed and slashed his left shoulder making him scream in pain, my speed will really come in handy here.
Jacques: what!?
I kicked his knee then slashed at the rib. Everyone was looking at me in awe as I was fighting his so called "greatest warrior". I jumped up, but I was hit with a lucky shot with the club and flew Into a wall.
I immediately got back up and spit out some blood. Weiss looked at me in disgust when I spit. I looked back at the Golden Man and smirked. I pointed my sword towards him, it shot a small beam at his chest, bringing him down to the ground screaming in pain. I walked over and I put my sword to his neck
Me: we done here?
Jacques: how did you manage to defeat him?
Me: well looking at the size of his weapon I realized that I would have a chance to hit when he was readying it, I had to use speed though, which is why this sword came in handy, it's lightweight, yet durable.
Weiss rolled her eyes.
Jacques: very impressive....for a poor man
Oh you bastard, if this wasn't for mother I'd stab you in the dick.
Me: thanks....I guess
Jacques: as we find a new opponent for you guys to fight, I mean, you tore him up, Weiss will keep an eye on all of you
Weiss: what?!
Me: oh goody....What do I do now?
Jacques: you know where JNPR's Tavern is, those who pass the test will be sent there.
Me: never thought you would go in a place like that
Jacques: I wouldn't, too poor for my taste, but a courier will.
Me: alright
I walked out the door and made my way towards the tavern
