Rainer listened intently as Ren explained their situation. So this was still real life, he had grasped that much initially, just with video-game-esque overtones. From the sounds of things there was no such thing as 'lives' either, so when they died, they stayed dead.

[B]"Right, so we're basically the Planeteers, but with a level up system. Sounds straight forward enough, as insane as it is."[/B] Rainer said, noticing the change to his minimap. [B]"Minimap: Remove Waypoint."[/B] he said to himself. No point in keeping that marker placed. Watching as Ren produced the weaponry, Rainer's eyes first fell upon the bokken, followed by the aluminum baseball bat, completely missing the Bō.

[B]"As much as I'd like to claim the bokken, I have no experience in Kendo. While I can handle melee weapons fairly well, I feel that my lack of experience with a bokken would render it just as useful as a baseball bat. However…"[/B] Rainer thought a moment, [B]"The baseball is heavier at the end. It'd be great for carrying momentum, but rubbish for control…"[/B]
Looking up suddenly, he realized that most of his inner monologue would have been much more useful staying internal, [B]"Uh… Yeah, in that case, I'll take the bokken."[/B] He said, sheepishly, reaching out to accept when something Ren said caught his attention.

[B]"Wait, you can summon Imps? I'm sure that comes in handy when you're outnumbered?"[/B] Suddenly, another question entered his mind as well, [B]"Wait, I have a grading coming up soon that's going to be overseen by Master Jhoon Goo Rhee! Does that mean I may gain skills and experience just from my own grading? What if I ended up sparring with Master Rhee?"[/B] Rainer's mind was suddenly full of questions and possibilities. If what Ren was telling them was true, Rainer could potentially become a Taekwon-Do Grandmaster! His heart started racing in excitement, that would be a dream come true!
