Volume 9 Chapter 5: Buying Gifts For Everyone

"Come on, Arlo! I know you can do better than that!" Melor roared as he blocked his blow. One block was enough to cause the small half-dwarf to be sent flying. Getting back up, he dashed at the dwarf. Gabriel and the others watched him go at it.

"Jack, you need more oomph!" On the other side was Herrick, who did the same with Jack.

Those two showed a fire that they hadn't shown before. Gabriel smiled, "Those two are definitely going to win against the others." For Keith and the others in S-class, it was a grace period. It was not so much for the others since they needed to spar against a student above them to head to the next class.

Sarah and Leona were also hard at work as they focused on their magic. Alfia and Carolyn were helping them with that.

"I'm going to head out now. Anyone want to come with?" Keith got dressed and was prepared to go out.

"Me," "I'll go as well," Scarlet and Faelyn raised their hands. And like that, the three went out.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm thinking about buying some gifts for my family members." The group would be leaving in two days. He was prepared to get some gifts for the rest of his family.

"Oh, yeah. We're going to return home." Scarlet muttered. She completely forgot about that.

Keith smiled as the two started to look around. Well, the first place he arrived at was Ironhilde. Faelyn frowned as she questioned, "Are you really going to buy your gifts here?" Are weapons really considered gifts?

"Mmhmm. My brothers are quite interested in weapons." Eric, Derek, and Leon. Eric was quite interested in new weapons, and Derek also had the same mind. Leon had been asking for a sword for quite some time. As he entered,

"Yo Skar!"

"What do you want, you brat?" Skar responded with a low growl.

"What's with the attitude?" This guy sounded pissed off. He added, "Why does your nose look like that?" The dwarf's nose was slightly crooked.

"Because someone punched me in the face! Did you forget?!"

"I said I was sorry for that," Keith completely forgot. That punch was needed; the man had been asking for tips to make a necklace for Carolyn.

And when he was on a date with the person, he knew this dwarf would blow it.

"Anyways, what do you want?"

"Do you have any swords with special properties? Like something with a different metal?" Keith questioned.

"Special properties?" Skar thought, "Hmm, we have a sword that could change size whenever you inject mana into it."

"Oh! Let me see."

"Here." What the dwarf brought out was a regular long sword. The only thing different was that there was no hilt on the thing; it was shaped more like a knife than anything.

"Try injecting mana into it," Keith nodded, and when he did so, the sword became long! His expression brightened. It's not that heavy: despite its length, it didn't affect the weight.

"Good?"

"Mmhmm, how much?"

"8 gold coins."

"..." Keith tilted his head.

That caused Skar to retort, "That's an enchanted sword. Those things could be more expensive than a magic sword."

"What's the difference between the two?"

"One fires magic while the other is more of an enchantment on the sword. Magic swords have a limited use while enchanted don't."

"...I see." Keith sighed as he handed the gold coins, "Also, do you have any swords for beginners?"

"Hmm?"

"It's for my little brother. I'm considering buying a sword he can use for some time." Continuously changing his weapons would be difficult.

"How old?"

"5 years old."

"Then how about something like this? It's an enchanted sword like the other one. If the owner injects mana into it, then the sword could harden and become sturdier than steel. It's a good weapon for beginners." Skar took out a short sword. Holding it in his hand,

It's lightweight, perfect for Leon. It was quite light for someone like him as he swung it around. But it was great for his younger brother. Leon could definitely use something like this until he turns 10.

"8 gold?"

"7."

"I'll take it!"

"What else do you need to buy?"

"I guess dual swords," Derek was a two-sword user instead of one.

"Then here's this. It's lighter than most, but it's sharp as well. It could probably go through every bone like butter,"

"What are they made out of?" Even as Keith held the sword, he could feel the sharpness.

"A mixture of mithril and sun copper."

"How much?"

"The same."

"Okay!" There was no need to skimp out with their gifts. And like that, he had obtained three gifts instantly.

"Do you guys need anything from here?"

"No," "Nope." Scarlet and Alfia shook their heads. There was really no need to get something from here.
