Cian began to open his eyes more calmly, his mind a lot calmer than it was earlier.
He then began breathing deeply while swinging his sword around for a little as a form of mediating that he did on earth, he would keep his mind clear and empty while he practiced fighting styles, mainly using muscle memory due to how long he had been fighting, but now he had to focus more on sword swinging.
After he had finished his daily routine after waking up, he finally decided.
[Y/N]
He clicked yes as a portal appeared in front of him, and he walked into it.
He saw that around him was a pure white room filled with goblins.
Cian then began to think; they covered the entire room, encircling him, so if he wanted to get this done with, he should use magic.
"Firewall," Cian said to himself, but this time, instead of releasing it from his hands like in the lobby, he released it through his feet, coming to the assumption that since it turned into a tornado in the lobby just from his hands, that if he released it from his feet.
The Tornado of fire begins to materialize, as it begins to reach the ceiling, Cian then began to walk around the tornado, following him around.
Cian rushes towards the goblins, the tornado following after him. As he kicks one of the goblins but his entire body feels like it's exploding. But he opened his eyes, and all of the goblins were screaming and on fire.

"What the hell was that?" Cian asks himself as another portal began to open, leading him back to the lobby, but he just stands there, shocked.
[You can receive one skill or three items due to 3x Rewards]
[Skill/Item]
Cian looks over after watching his hands for a little bit, kind of confused but also thankful, whatever he just did, he then clicks on skills.
[You Have Received Skill - Swordsmanship]
Cian begins to walk towards the portal and walks into it, leading him back to the lobby.
He walks towards the bed, sits down on it, and thinks about his life, wondering why it has become like this.
Cian then looks at the interface on the side, seeing that there is an X button on the side, he presses it, and it takes him back to a screen.
[Profile]
[Question]
[Store🔒 ] [Locked until the third trial]
[Skills]
Cian then clicks on the skill tab, but there was nothing in there, but he saw a question mark on the side and tapped it.
[Whenever you reach the maximum skills that will show on your profile tab, they will be erased from your profile and sent to this tab]
Cian then pressed the x twice, leading back to the tabs, and clicked his profile again.
[Cian Allan]
[Strength: 14] [Agility: 16]
[Stamina: 22] [Mana: 26]
[Unique Trait - Elementalist {F}]
[Skills - Speedy Regeneration, Swordsmanship]
Cian then went and clicked on swordsmanship, bringing up the description.
[Swordsmanship - Allows user to get a 10 percent understanding of the sword]
[The more sword skills you have, the higher the understanding becomes]
Cian reads through it, understanding the skills somewhat better. He then grabs the sword and just basic information, hits him like how to swing or jab, and block.
Cian then decides on something.
"Firewall," Cian says to himself, as he does the same thing that he did in the first trial, and he runs up and kicks the wall, but this time he doesn't close his eyes enduring that pain, but watches as his flames seem to fly to different sides, but still in a circle.
"An AOE, why didn't I think of that?" Cian says to himself as he sees the scorch mark on the wall quickly disappear as the walls return to normal.
Cian then walks towards the bed and sits down, as he begins to realize that he is thinking too much like a powerless person while having powers.
"I'm an idiot, I'm thinking more with if I had powers I would do this, I do have the power to do this," Cian says to himself, realizing that he is limiting himself by practicing human techniques as he begins to rummage through his memory's to whenever his brother would talk about one of his games or to all the fantasy novel that he has read.
*My Brain just won't accept that I'm no longer powerless, but it has to* Cian had thought to himself as he realized that his way of thinking was just a habit that would change being in this place, but it was gonna have to change at a faster rate so that he didn't die.
Cian began to sit there for hours practicing magic, the only otherworldly power he had for now, so he could build a habit of thinking outside the box of a person who had no power.
After a little while of practicing, he finally got somewhere. After 3 attempts, he was able to condense his fire into a small ball, which was something, cause even though he had heard of a fireball even on earth, his mana output was horrible, and he subconsciously didn't believe he could do it.
But this was just one step toward getting home, as he released the focus and the fireball resumed to do what it was before he was able to condense it, just firing up in the air, somewhat burning the ceiling, which kept healing as it finally dissipated after running out of mana.

Cian looked at the two notifications appearing in front of him and smiled, feeling a bit of delayed gratification due to it taking so long, but he was proud of himself so fucking badly.
[The Second Trail begins in twenty-four hours]
Cian yawned, feeling tired from exhausting all that mana as he walked over to the bed and put the sword in his inventory, which he didn't realize he had until he saw a question mark on the profile tab, which explained the basics of the system functions.
