Sorry guys for not updating. I'll try to make it up to you by making this chapter longer.
Also, the harem has ended, (mainly because Aphrodite and Piper weren't getting any votes) so the girls in the harem are official, Hestia, Zoë, Annabeth, Bianca, Artemis, and Thalia. No more votes will take place after this chapter so don't bother to.

The few days I had been at camp was actually pretty fun. I mostly trained with Luke on sword fighting. Which had brought my swordsmanship skill level up to 3. Here I was currently, fighting in the arena, the Hermes cabin had sword practice today.

Swordsmanship Lvl: 3

XP: 125/500

How well you can use a sword

30% Bonus damage when fighting with a sword.

Apparently Luke was the best swordsman in camp, which led me to wonder his level on the skill. Luke was currently showing me a new technique that caused the opponent to drop their weapon.

"Ok, so you bring the blade down to the hilt," He did so in slow motion, when he turned the blade it made it so I had to drop the sword. Speaking of which I couldn't find one that felt as good as Riptide. Even Luke agreed that I couldn't find a well-balanced sword.

"Now let's try an actual sword fight." He got into position. A member of the cabin counted down and we fought. I only lasted a couple of seconds as he disarmed me and brought his blade to my throat.

Everyone left for a water break, mainly because we were training under the hot sun, baking in the heat(Thanks Apollo). After getting an idea I took a cup of water and poured it over myself. Feeling a surge of energy like I had drunk several cups of coffee.

Bing!

Due to entering a body of water you have gained a +25 to Str. Vit. and DeX. As well as a +2,000 to HP and MP.

We again prepared to fight. This time I lasted a lot longer, we parried and blocked each other's attacks. I went for the technique he had just shown me moments ago. With the added Dex. I was able to disarm him with pure speed.

Everyone stood in the arena mouth agape. Even I was amazed at what I had done, someone in the stands said: "Uhh, Beginner's Luck?"

Luke looked at me and raised an eyebrow, "Maybe, but I wonder what you could do with a balanced sword." He picked up his sword and we continued the lesson. The shot of energy I had gone.

The conch horn blew signaling it was time for lunch. We all grabbed our food, shoved some in the brazier. After sitting down Chiron in Centaur form stepped up and stomped his hoof on the table.

"Attention, Campers!" He announced loudly. "Tonight after dinner we will host our game of Capture the flag." After that, he sat back down and we continued to eat.

I spent the rest of that time hanging out with Annabeth and Allan. Most of the time with Annabeth was me trying to learn how to read better, and no it didn't get my skill up. And Allan being the great friend he is tried to get me better at archery.

Bing!
