Hero Without a Class: Who Even Needs Skills?!

Arel grows up in a world where kids receive a Class and Skills at ten. His ceremony gives nothing. His parents are legends, yet he is classless, so he turns study into routine and treats every move as data. He copies forms, times breathing, and learns to reproduce techniques he watches. Years later he heads for Bresgia, the city of swords. A small guild called Dragon Fang is short on people. Lilia wants bodies for tournaments and pulls him in. Reiner, the childhood rival who never forgot a loss, is already there. Crowds laugh when a classless recruit steps onto the floor. Fights turn when Arel reads footwork and answers with what he trained into his own hands. The result earns a place and a path into harder work. Magic is next on his list. He plans to cross to a city of study and keep adding what others were given at birth.
