Manowa

Chapter 23

Lets accept weapons

--

The first one who returns to Masters room is Kimberly.

Ive made you wait.

Then he placed the cane on top of the desk.

This is created by Mazilia Magic Tool workshop from the royal capital of Shubain. The inscription is white blaze, I heard this will increase the rate of magic conversions and it has high affinity with fire magic.

Kazane tries to hold it. Since its somewhat small, it matched with Kazanes figure. The ornament is also white and was polished in a simple way. Though Kazane wasn't fixated on fashion, she quickly fall for its appearance at a glance.

(hm, I feel like were connected)

She circulates her magic power inside the cane in a similar way as when she circulates magic power to use grimoire. She feels the sensation of the cane becomes a part of her body.

Master, can I try to use it?

As long as its not a dangerous spell.

Kazane nods.

Spell: Torch

And she chants.

In front of her, a ball of fire emerged.

Strengthen correction 1.2X, consumption dropped till 85%.

The window shows the difference between when she used the equipment and when she is not. Though theres a cane that increases twice the power and reduce consumption by half in endgame, for mid-game this cane's quality is more than enough.

You can tell readily? Master shows a surprised looks, but Kazane laugh it off.

Can I really accept this?Well, itll formally become yours after the defeat of the ogres.

While cheer Yay, Kazane hug the cane and rub her cheek toward it. Seeing that, Master and Kimberly turned soft.

Master, I brought it. Just right at that moment Mondorie returned.

Tch. Since his entrance broke the healing atmosphere, Master smacked his lips. Kimberly also turned somewhat cranky. Though Mondorie make a eeh? face, he doesnt understand the cause of their reactions.

Ah no. Good work Mondorie. Show it to Kazane.

After Master pull himself together, he urges Mondorie to Kazane's side.

Yes, Kazane, here accept this.

Mondorie hands over a black sword that is still placed on its scabbard. Though the handle has similar length with a two handed sword, the blade is in the same degree as a one handed sword.

This is?

It is a trial product that was only named as number 12. Well, it passed the endurance test so it can be used in actual battle. While swinging that sword Kazane's face turned into that of puzzlement.

Just like the cane, but even though I didnt transmit any magic power, it's still flowing in.

I think it absorbs magic from the atmosphere. Though, it should be insignificant.

Hearing what Master said, Kazane understood the function of the sword.

This sword is a mana eater.

Mana eater, weapons that are able to absorb mana from a defeated enemy.

Thats right. Usually it is created with enchanting mana absorb in existing weapon, but this article is a product from what will happen if we make it inside the weapon structure in mind. It is made by Mondorie.

Kazane looks at Mondorie with a surprised face.

(Master did say your research institute)

Analysing and researching blacksmiths' techniques. Kazane finally understood why Mondorie is in Masters side.

(Perhaps just like

Youre amazing, Mr. Mondorie.

No no. Its still not something that can be sold at the market.

Especially cost-wise. Ability wise it has no problem.

Also, the concept of letting magician fight directly is a weak point. Just in case I tried to make it easier to handle even for people who have no power by making able to be used with both hand. But I still had no customer, its troubling.

Then why did you create thisthought Kazane, well whatever.

Well, I can accept bartering with this. Hearing that Mondorie looks relieved.

And, I also has a request about it.

What is it?

Sometimes is fine, I need information about its utility. Ill pay for it?

If it's only something like that, then I dont mind.

Even in Zexiahart, beta testing weapons also existed. Its limited to high level players and Kazane has done it many times before, so Kazane thought it should be fine. And also, she has something else she was curious about.

Then is this sword named 12th?

Since it is a unique weapon, Kazane really wish for certain inscription.

(Though I dont hate 12th since it sounds like prototype model)

Well, I havent give it a name.

After thinking for awhile Master said.

Then how about make it the opposite of white blaze and named it black fang?White blaze and black fang huh. Not bad. Yep, then this is black fang. Nice to meet you too white blaze.

Then Kazane placed both black fang and white blaze in her waist.

*****

(+) Winlard Town; Zinrais dojo

Iyaaaaa!!!

Yumika's yells reverberated. Then she thrusts the sword in her hand to the old man in front of her without hesitation.

Humh.

The old man who is confronting her only moves slightly and warded that spear away which then hit Yumika at the handle.

Wah, ow ow ow.

Yumika's posture crumbled, but she hold her ground and once again prepares to confront the old man.

Just like now, other than the edge any other parts can be used. Even if the opponent is closed by, as long as you can use all part of the spear, it is easy to defeat your opponent. That said, its still better if you avoid that kind of cornered status.

After saying that, that old man slowly walks toward Yumika.

Ya!

Yumika thrusts her spear again.

Humph.

That old man accurately blocks the thrust of Yumika's spear at its tip with his own spear.

And if you know their timing, blocking like this is also possible.

(Guh!)

Yumika quickly draw back her spear.

Dah!

And strike the old man with the handle part in close range.

I see, your learning ability is indeed fast. That old man was able to evade the handle, but

Ugh

The spear that rotated from that force once again attacks the old man.

Even so he was still able to dodged it, while Yumika escaped from the distance.

Haah, haaah

Then she quickly fixes her posture.

I see, that was splendid. Then next try to hit me with that.

Yes!

After choosing the skill Flash from the window, she set her spear once again.

Incoming!

And thrusted with all her might. That speed is as if its a flash itself.

Humph.

That old man also thrusted his own spear, and then

*Giiiinn*

Terrifying metallic sounds reverberated, and accompanied with a thumping sound, something broke.

Waah

At the same time, a girl's voice that was neither Yumikas nor that old mans can be heard.

Kazane!?

He, hello

Somewhat turned pale, Kazane greets Yumika. At the side of that pale face, theres a spear lodged in the wall. Even though the edge spear used from training was dulled, it still posses the ability to wound and even kill.

(If it hit me, that would mean instant death)

Kazane was frightened from the closest encounter with death since she came to this world.

I see, so this is your partner, Yumika. Shes tiny.

A lot of people said so.

Actually everyone who met her said so.

Yo, Zinray. Hows Yumika?

At Kazane's side is Master.

Ah, Johnz. Well, as you can see.

Yumika who was trying to catch up her breath and using the spear to support herself to stand, and the old man who doesnt even sweat much. However, in Zinray hand theres no spear. That mean, the spear that lodged beside Kazane is Zinrays.

That girl is really something, if this is a real battle then I might have died.

Thats not truethis one was just by chances.

Yumika shook her head. If this is a real battle, he wouldnt let her attack.

Well, if you think so try using flash without that weird action. Try again till it is not a coincidence but certainty. If its you, I think you will be able to do it.

Ye, yes.

While Zinray said something like that, Kazane said excuse me and tried to extract the spear from the wall.

[[Flash]] you said? Did you teach her?

Toward the surprised Master, Zinray laugh.

No, I just show her oncebut by chance she can use it once. And then, somehow she can use whatever I used.

(Ah, the skill window)

With that we can record any usable skill. Later, with only pushing a button, we can use it.

Well, if she cant close that gap I did say she will need to make do with her own power, but it seems that doesnt takes too much time. And thanks to it I get excited after a long time.

Master nods towards Zinray's words.

Then it seems like I can expect something from her for tomorrow's job.

Yes.

After Zinray nodded, Master faces Kazane.

Kazane, this old man is Zinray Bahnz, the fang of spear soldier I talked about before.Nice to meet you. I am Kazane. I'm her partner.

While pointing at Yumika.

I see, nice to meet you Kazane. I have high hopes for tomorrow. Zinray pat Kazanes head, then walked out of the dojo.

So, why are you coming here?

Avoiding Yumikas glare, Kazane looks at Master.

Well, its not me, but Master. He said he want to see your training.

Well, thats it. Even though its only for a short time, it seems you have grown considerably. And laughed with Gahaha sound.

Thats true. Even Im surprised.

Yumika answers like that, theres no hesitation in her eyes.

Looking at that, Master laugh with a hee.

It seems introducing you with old man Zinray is the correct choice.

Hearing that Yumika nods. That expression is certainly the face of a renowned warrior, thought Kazane.

(Well, though I dont really know what kind of face, a warrior face is)
