Chapter 16
.
The next day mars got out of the inn after getting some sleep and food.
He was planning to do some shopping before going to the tournament.
He went first to the tailor shop to buy some adventurer like clothes.
Then something caught his attention.
It was a semi dark blue robe that has black linings that has its long back run all the way to the torso.(((imagine a like a joker's upper body with excess two tails of cloth that floats like awesome,better get myself a drawing)))
It looks so fantasy like that he forgot his reason of buying adventurer like clothes.
Although it stands out, it somehow looks natural and blends in to the background because of its fantasy like features.
"How much would this be?"(mars)
"that would be 15 gold sir"(lady seller)
"Was it really durable? Looks easy to move on."(mars)
"that was made from an aqua strider.
A spider that has a very fluent mobility and water resistance.
Although it is a good product.
No one would buy it since the price is ridiculously high for a light equipment and it is not very robe like for its compatibility with speed, wizards running at high speed aren't common."(lady seller)
"hah is that so."(mars)
"Its okay sir we still ha--(ladyseller)
"Ill buy it."(mars)
The Lady seller was really shocked about this purchase but she was also happy because her commission on this item was also quite a sum. Because of that reason, she didn't even bother thinking how such person have so much money to buy that thing on a whim.

In the background was a pretty girl enthusiastically looking at the dresses corner.

After equipping the item he just bought. Mars went to the blacksmith store where he met "Some People".

..

The heroes departed individually.
Irina went to the tailor shop.

..
Blacksmith---
The sign says Forgo Smithery
..
For some reason he can read it but he cant write the characters.
"its free to take a look, but damage one and Ill kill you."(dwarf)
"that's fine with me."(mars)
"then tell me if you'll buy one"(dwarf)
Mars traversed to the whole store and found some high quality knives,bucklers but swords were none. Over all the shop looks like an old antique shop seller from his pov. The backround matches the products well and the atmosphere was really old era like. Though the sign says its smithery.
He didnt like the swords he saw
..
Until he went to the counter.
"I want to buy that"(mars)
"I want to buy that"(??)
The two person then looked at each other and carefully examined both entities.
*"he somewhat looks stronger than average"(mars)
*"this fellow looks like a magician but his muscles were somewhat ripped but it wasn't obvious until you look at it specifically. Who is he?"(sven)
"That one was a heirloom,sadly it wasn't for sale. Reasons?
It was considered as legendary and I didn't even allow the king to purchase it."(dwarf)
"why hang it there if it was not for sale?"(mars)

"for the purpose of attracting people like you two."(dwarf)
"what do you mean?"(??)
"you know that thing was on its scabbard and it looks really old isn't it? I don't clean it for it to look like that in its outside appearance.
For you to buy this thing even if not knowing and asking it, this thing started out a spark in you or in other way you knew about it."(dwarf)
"I am one of the heroes. Sven, nice to meet you" sven said to the dwarf causing him to bulge his eyes but instantly regain his attitude towards the hero
.
"I am Forgo, for the hero to be here was quite humbling of me but I will not sell it to you even if its that. The one who gave me this sword told that to me and said that the sword would belong to its rightful owner.
Who it is? I don't know. Only the owner can take it out of its sheath and wield it. Such a weapon was called
"how would you know the owner if you wont sell it?"(sven)
"I have them take it out from it sheet but no one so far was able to do it."forgo said that as he handed the weapon.
Sven was nervous if he could take it out but in a few moments..
..
He pulled it out.
"then that was yours, take care of it fr-- He was cut off.
"I also want to confirm something so can I try it?"(mars)
The two were dumbfounded about the revelation but forgo recovered instantly, again.
"this sword has already has its--
He was cut off again
"let him do it" sven said as he handed over the sword:(its a typical katana) to mars
When forgo was about to complain to the hero he heard the sound of the sword being drawn.
The sword was drawn and returned to its scabbard a couple of times.
Seeing this the hero and the dwarf almost fainted. But the dwarf recovered again first.
"how was it possible?"(forgo)
"maybe its a one time seal?" mars handed him the sword for him to try it.
"try it, if it opens to you then its not a rare sword at all but if it did open then its a problem why the two of us was able to do it."(mars)
When forgo tried to draw the sword his muscles bulged to the point the you could feel the atmosphere around him change into that of an oppressing feeling around him but
.
It didn't even move.
As if the scabbard was part of the blade to forgo.
He used all his strength to but it was futile.
"why??" was the words he uttered when reaching such a predicament.
"maybe the restriction was general.
I somehow want to know how the restriction work so I tried it."(mars)
"restriction you say?"(forgo)
"yep, well you can have that sword. I lost my interest. Just be careful handling it. That weapon looks like it inflicts a death curse to someone who receive a cut from it." as he said that mars put his hands on his pocket and began to walk away from the shop leaving the two jaw dropped by his very unusual carefree behavior. Then speaking up and recovering first was.
..
The hero, this time he was the one to recover first and asked a question.
"Your Name!?" sven asked hurriedly
"just call me mars, Its my nickname." he said without looking back leaving the two with undescribeable faces.
