Ren has finally got 4 classes that he copied. He also has to train them into good combos. With each class differs from each other, one was a support class under the mage type class which was Healer.
In his deliberation, he could tank damage and heal right after. Only if he had a Guardian Class that could be a tank. But his swordsman was a damage dealer type. He could deal some damage while healing. Overpowered right? He has these two as a core: Swordsman and Healer. These two classes could be a safety net for his future. In case he got wounded, he could heal.
Not only that, he has other skills from Healer that could cure disease and poison. Quite handy against ailments and poisoning.
Though these two were not fool proof, there's cases that could also lead to demise. Such as stamina and mana limitations. He might ran out of gas later in prolonged fights and that could lead to his disadvantage.
Or a damage that would be greater than the healing. Or a critical damage that killed you even before you could heal. Like, your head severed and was sent flying off from your neck.
His father was swinging a sword at the meantime and he approached him. "Father! Please teach me advanced skills!" Ren asked while bowing.
"Huh!? I tell you son, it was not bad to learn in advance but you must have solid foundations first. You should train your breathing too and have faster regeneration of stamina." Renji said to his son.
"Okay dad," Ren turned around and then stopped, then turned to his dad again and approached him.
"Dad, what if a bet?" Ren asked.
"Hmm?" He pondered. He was baffled as to what his child could be thinking.
"If I managed to reach 95 percent execution of swordsman's basic skills, will you teach me elite skills of Swordsmanship?" Ren asked with high hopes. His father would surely take the bet.
"95? Oh, you surely is boasting. Even I can only do 90 at the moment." His father said but Ren smirked. His eyes gave off confidence out of this world.
"Okay!" Ren picked up the sword and then tested it first by swinging multiple times. He immediately made his stance. And then he executed the skill Slash. He made several slashes in just a second.
In this case, his sword speed was 3 to 6 slashes in a second. That was already surpassing his record! And upon watching, his sword emitted the golden glow, reaching to 95 percent!
"This..." His father was baffled. "This is 95 percent!" He shouted. Reaching 95 percent upwards has additional effects! "This means..." His father smiled, "Let's do Parry and Block!"
His father was surprised. Not only that, he used Parry and Block against his father's strikes and it was unbelievable to his father's side. It was also 95 up. He could not be mistaken!
This levels could already parry or block projectiles such as several arrows in flicking speeds and also magic projectiles to an extent. Also his counter has critical effects!
Making his father to be in a trance. This was the pinnacle that he wanted to reach, to think that his child already was in this stage.
"Okay, you won the bet, I will then teach you the three Major Stances: Defensive stance and Offensive stance. And last, Evasive Stance." His father said to him.
"Defensive stance will boost your Parry, Block, and Counter skills and Offensive stance will boost your Slash skills and all remaining offensive skills that I will teach. Evasive stance would raise your evasion chance to 50 percent! Even to 80 if you're good!" He said then immediately showed him the three Stances.
Defensive stance gave off an aura that gave sensitivity to enemy attacks. Reaction speed, the direction of the attack, and also the defensive maneuvers that you will execute.
Offensive stance gave off an oppressive aura that will have boosts on your attacks to the enemy. Especially the initiation of your attacks.
Evasive Stance gave off an aura that made them feel him like removing his presence. Making him to evade much further in multiple instances.
He first learned the three Stances and then his father also gave him another skills to further develop his skill tree.
He trained in the forest and with few skills he got, he also learned new ones besides from his past basic skills. With training from his father, he begged to learn more skills. Though his father said that he needed to have solid foundations first, he got a bet that if he could reach high execution rates on his swordsmanship skills, he would teach him the next new skills.
And that, he got 95 percent execution rates on Slash, Parry, Counter, and Block. Making his father to teach him the next skills.

His swordsman got new skills and it was Pommel thrust, Blink slash, Accelerate, and Sword Imbue.
"Pommel thrust is what it is, you evade the strike of the enemy and then thrusts it to the abdomen of the enemy. Further stunning him."
"Blink Slash was disappearing in sight and then slashing 6 times on the enemy."
"Accelerate will make your speed higher than normal into 4 times."
"And sword imbue means you imbue effects on your sword. Such as Elements, Damage types, and unique imbuements. This differs to each person and it was hard to master other imbuements."
"I have the bleeding damage for example and I still have to learn other types of damages."
He also got to know the Skill Stances. Offensive Stance, Evasive Stance, and Defensive Stance. These skills were already in the elite stage and were advanced skills of swordsman. He was an avid learner and in his first try, he reached 70 to 80 percent execution rate. Making it's effectiveness to be in 70 percent to 80.
It was a harsh training and he could imagine that his new skills needed more practice. Though his breathing was barely coping up with his stamina consumption. And so, he has to reach 5th stage on stamina or else he might collapse to low stamina every time.
His mother then approached and gave them drinks to replenish.
With that, he practiced the Healer path once again.
He approached his mother and then once again, practice the Healer Path.
His mother then initiated the conversation and gave the goal for the day.
"We have good numbers of Healer Skills and it will be enough for basic needs. I will only give advanced skills once you will master the initial skills to 90 percent execution. That means, this time, you will focus on doubling the effects of Healing and other healer skills. Which was, could be learned by constant practice." She said.
As for the practice, he will have to micro manage the skills first and reach it's pinnacle stage like his father's Swordsman Class.
This time, he does not need to learn new skills for now but must focus on boosting its effectivity to twice or thrice of its standard efficiency. With that, they could maximise the efficiency in the actual battlefield.
They went to the practice dummy for healing and it was a clay like doll that mimics the human flesh. It could also display other debuff or negative statuses at the same time.
His mother cut the doll and he healed it as a standard practice like the usual. He practiced more and finally got the hang of it. With his mother's constant guidance and hands on teaching, he managed to raise the effectiveness to twice and the shocking part for his mother was that he has lesser mana consumption.
To reach that level of mastery was very impressive for his mother. And also, he reached 90 percent execution rate now. With faster casting at that.
With that, his mother rejoiced again. With his progress, even Temple Healers were outmatched by her son. His level of mastery was already in elite tier. With more practice, he could reach master level without a doubt in a month's time.
The thing that was hindering his growth for now was the mana reserve he has as it was still low. The Temple Healers has more mana reserves than him in comparison. But they were the teachers and compared to Ren, he was a student that has the level of his teacher already. He could finally reach their levels in due time.
With that, his mother, as promised, gave him another batch of skills to master and they were: Group Healing, Ultra Regeneration, and Longevity.
