After some hours passed, I was keeping watch in the surrounding I was deep thought about creating weapon from the anime I watched but I failed on creating one when I was first transferred here since there are many requirements that are needed to create one that I failed concentrate on making it and since I never gave up on things I fail until I accomplished it so I always try to create it when I have free time while staying locked up in my room at the inn.
After confirming that Mael is sleeping, I started to concentrate on creating a weapon, it was slow in taking its form since I want the weapon to have the capabilities, its specifications, its appearance, etc. to be same from the original. After some minutes passed the appearance of the weapon was starting to take form, it was a western sword were it has an appearance that looks like a majestic sword where it looks exactly the same from the one that I watched.
“Alright…”
After confirming there are no problems, I started concentrating on the capabilities of the sword I added a usage of you can say mana amplifier where were it converts the user’s mana to increase the sword’s power and I carefully added with holy attribute to finish it.
My eyes was now focus on the sword that was now brightly shining with a beautiful golden coloured which is still floating in the air waiting for its owner to hold it. I slowly reach my hand towards the sword grasped it. After I grasped it the golden light that was emitting began to disappear remaining only its majestic appearance.

I almost shout in joy but i manage to restrain it since Mael is still sleeping. When I manage to calm down I started to swing Excalibur, first I tried to swing the sword diagonally and then swing it vertically, a faint golden light also follows in every swing that the only thing I can say about it was its beautiful that I became completely on swinging the until I notice that I’m starting to feel a little exhausted.
“Whew, I’m became a little overexcited. Then the next one.”
I started to firmly hold the sword and slowly giving some of mana on it, after a few seconds the holy sword started to faintly shine with golden colour and as I given it some more mana it the faint light became more brighter that I stopped before it shines more brightly that it will engulf the night forest.
“I can’t believe that my hard work paid off, the dream that I never thought that would never come true just come true and now I will try to create all the weapons that I have been longing for but since I won’t be using this sword I just store until there will be a need to use it.”
I put the holy sword Excalibur in my inventory and I resume keeping on watch the surrounding while humming since I am really in a good mood.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
When morning came we continue travelling back towards Namet city and after some hours passed we are about to reach the city and my condition is still the same I was now from before going to Hanso Plain who still desperately catching my breath because of the fatigue and I was still also carrying the bag that only contains the remaining goods since it is a man’s duty to carry things and it will not let my pride to make a girl carry it while walking together with Mael who’s beside me who looks concern about me.
“You look really exhausted, I can carry the bag you know or we can take quick rest.”
“Haa… haa… there is no need for that since almost Namet city, let’s continue so we can arrive early.”
“But somehow you look like your about to collapse any moment now.”
“What are you talking about even if I am in this condition I will not collapse, I can still go on.”
Since last night I wasn’t able to sleep properly because I was really good mood about the creation of Excalibur and the fatigue accumulating from last night activity that it is now taking it’s toll in my body that it is becoming hard to move.
While walking back towards the city I promised deep in my heart that I will try to create bike even how many years it will take, I will not give up since long walk not really my thing and as I was filled with that thought.
“I can now see Namet city!”
“Haa… Haa.. Thank god! We are almost there!”
My eyes shone like I found some oasis in the middle of road that I begin to run forgetting all the pain in my body while Mael also run to follow me.
When we arrive at the entrance at the city Mael was currently stretching her arms and me who was still the same who is catching my breath that I am starting to feel pathetic at myself.
“So should we go to the guild to report about the quest?”
“Haa… haa… Just let me rest a little until I catch my breath.”
“Okay.”
I immediately sat and Mael also sat beside me at the bench that was near from the entrance of the gate and started to rest.
After thirty minutes passed I was able to recover tiredness that I slowly stand up.
“Now that I am all rest up, shall we go?”
“Alright…”
We started to continue walking towards the guild so that we can report and get our reward.
---------------------------------------------------------
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
We arrive at the guild as we open the door we walked directly toward Liz who still standing calmly at the reception desk and after she saw us she showed a sincere smile, we continue to walk towards her.
“Welcome back the two of you, how was the quest?”
“We finished it, here.”
Mael handed the quests that are finish and started checking after confirming it that the quest was complete she nods and took out the rewards of the quest that are 132 silver, 4 health potion and a speed ring.
“I have confirmed that you have completed the quests, here are the rewards for the quest you just cleared.”
“Thanks.”
Mael took the reward handed by Liz to us and she immediately gave half of the reward to me.
“Ren, should we celebrate we succeed in our first quests.”
“Sure, do you know a good bar here?”
“Of course, just leave it to me, Liz we will be going now.”
“I hope you have a good day.”
Liz politely bowed at us as we leave the guild and after we are outside from the guild I followed Mael who continue towards a good bar for us to celebrate.
-------------------------------
Sometime has passed after we arrive to a bar I have been drinking a glass of beer since there is no law that you are not allowed to drink any alcoholic beverage so I have been drinking it to my heart contents that I have been starting to get drunk while Mael was just drinking some juice while looking worriedly at me since I have been talking nonsense with other drunk people.
“Hey, you’re already drunk.”
“Of course not, right guys?!”
“Yeah! Let’s continue drinking until sunrise!”
“Ohhh!”
Mael was dumbstruck looking at the drunk people who are merrily drinking like there is no tomorrow, she could only look at those people who are also adventurers and sigh that looks like she give up and start drinking her juice again waiting for me to be knocked out drunkenness.
After an hours passed of drinking with other adventurers my vision started to go black that I don’t know what happened after that.
I was now supporting the drunk boy who was now wasted, they were all drinking so much that all the adventurers that was drinking with was now sleeping inside the bar even the bar owner could only sigh because they have been sleeping on the floor that its impossible for the bar owner to stay open his bar.
“Ren, where are you staying right now?”
“…Bears …Paw”
“Okay.”
I continue to support his body while walking towards the Bears Paw inn while sighing.
After I arrived at the inn there was a woman who was standing in the counter after she saw us come in she immediately walk towards us and looked at Ren.
“Oh my, is he drunk?”
“Yeah, he overdrunk and become and become like this, do you know where his room is?”
“Yeah, just go upstairs and his room is on the second door to the left. Here is the key to his room.”
“Thanks.”
I took the key that was handed to me and started climbed up towards the stairs after I reach his room, I walk inside I slowly lay down on the bed and covered his body with blanket and started to head home.
-----------------------
When morning came, the sunlight shine through the window I slowly opened my eyes and when I get up my head suddenly feel a sudden headache that that immediately touch my head.
“Damn it, I really overdid it.”
I slowly walked out my room and then head downstairs. After I head downstairs I saw Marie who is preparing breakfast for the people who are staying in the inn, after she saw me she smiled as I proceed towards one of the table.
When I sat in the chair Marie place the food on the table, it was fish soup with a loaf of bread and a Milk Thisle tea.
“Marie, how did I get to my room?”
“A girl brought when you were drunk so you better thank her, okay.”
“I will, thanks for telling me.”
Marie head back towards the kitchen and continue preparing breakfast while I started eating the food that is prepared for me.
After I was done eating, I leave the inn and since my head hurt because of the hangover I started to walk slowly toward the guild.
When I arrive and head inside the guild I saw Mael who was sitting who was sitting in the lounge area that I immediately towards her.
“Yo! Thanks for helping me get to my room.”
“Ren, you don’t have to worry about it. Are you going to take some quests?”
“Nah… I’ll pass my head hurt so I’ll just relax today.”
“Is that so, I should relax also for today.”
After we order some tea and now waiting for it a mascular guy appeared to us. He was person that I defeated in the exam name Igil.
“Your name is Ren, right?”
“Yes, can I ask what do you want from me?”
“Please have duel with my friend.”
“Ehh…”
Me and Mael were both speechless on what Igil, I never thought someone would have duel with me since I am still new and not really famous so I don’t know how to answer right now so I should start asking for reason why he wants to duel with me.
“Can I ask why he wants a duel with me?”
“Yeah, but first let me clarify that she is woman not a man, alright.”
“Okay.”
“You know that I lose to you, right?”
“Yeah, so what does it have to do with it?”
“After I told her that I lose to you. She suddenly had the urge to have interest on having a duel you that she is asking me that she wants to have duel with you.”
“Please tell her that I refuse.”
“Please let me finish what I saying first.”
His face started to get distorted like it’s the end of his world it made me feel bad about him.
“Okay, I’ll listened stop it with that face.”
“Thank you, at first I refused on what she asked for me but when days passed he started to ask me every day that she wants to have a duel with you and I still refused but yesterday if I don’t ask you to have duel with her, she’s going to tell my wife all the things about what I have been doing when she isn’t looking so please accept her request, I’ll do anything you ask.”
I looked at the man with sympathetic eyes, leaving me only on choice.
“Alright, tell her I accept her duel, tell her that tomorrow will be fine and can we used examination area for our duel?”
“You need to ask permission first if you want to use the examination area but leave it to me I will ask permission for it so we can use it tomorrow.”
“Then I will leave to you.”
“Okay!”
Igil enthusiastically run away with a smile on his face and while watching him running until he disappear from my sight, Mael sigh and didn’t ask why I accepted the duel.
