Chapter 5: Weapon of choice

Hmm what type of weapon do i want for now? i thought to myself while scratching my chin. If i build a gun, i would need bullets but making bullets is going to be hard. Maybe i should build a sword? But i don't want my weapon to be something that is common or known to this world. How about the type 1 energy sword from the Halo franchise? Now that's sound cool. It seems like i have the knowledge to build one surprisingly even though it is a fictional weapon. 

I can use the alloy i made for the hilt but where do i get magnetic field generators? Shit i have no idea. I should head town again and who knows there might be one since this is a magical world. While walking around, i decided to try my luck in a magic stone shop. The shop appeared to contain many different colour stones of all sizes. "How may i help you?" the girl behind the counter spoke.

"Ah do you have stones that uh generate magnetic fields?" i asked. "Magnetic field? I am sorry miss but i do not know what that is." Damn i should have known. "Then do you have stones that generates electricity?" i asked again trying my luck. "Electricity? Do you mean electric? If yes then we do have." the girl answered back. Lucky they have the concept of electric. "Do you have one that generates very strong electric?" "We have a large variety. The strongest one has enough power to kill a small dragon!" the girl said excitedly.

"Is that so...... can i have 2 of those then?" "Tw..two! But they are very expensive and you don't look rich to me!" the girl tried to bravely tell me. "1 is for 90 gold you know and you want 2 of them." the girl continued. "Well i do have enough so can i see them?" "Really? Wait here please." and with that the girl walked to the back of the shop and came back, holding a very exquisite looking box.

"These are one of the more expensive magical stones." the girl explained. "So that's why they are kept in this magic safe." "Yeah yeah here 2 platinum coins." i said to her and tossed her 2 shiny sliver coins. "Pla..platinum coin?!" and with that, a similar conversation started again. After i bought the stone i hurriedly went back to where i made my alloy. I will use these stones to generate magnetic field by channeling the electric power through the astral alloy at the corner of the curved hilt. 

After using my otherworldly knowledge, i could see the blueprints in my mind. I will have to use blazing tempest again. This spell sure is handy. I placed the alloy where the soil already went through vitrification and used my spell. The alloy levitated since i made it levitate by using the wind generated by blazing tempest and went to work molding it. I heated up the alloy before i started molding it with the wind generated by the spell.

After i molded it into the shape i want, i started hollowing out certain parts inside the hilt. After that, i cooled the hilt down and started putting the stones into place. And then i started making circuits boards inside to make a button to switch it off or on and also to direct where i want to electricity to flow.

A few more hours later. Whew, time to test this baby out. i pushed the button in with my palm which is at the middle of the hilt and with that the sizzling sound accompanied with a bright flash of light filled my eyes and ears. What had appeared was a black and the signature curved blade that the energy sword is famous for appeared. It worked?! Why is it black? I didn't even put in the device that i needed to heat up the electrons in the air which would be plasma and then the magnetic field would shape it and trap it into shape.

A bright flash appeared beside me with an envelope accompanying the flash. This is familiar. I opened the letter which read. Dear Zao, i helped you complete your weapon since your skill level was not enough to completely give you the knowledge to make it. Why did i help you? Cause it is your first otherworldly creation! Thank you, thank you. I half expected you to try make a lightsaber which i would have helped you complete it but you didn't so too bad. I made it black to match your black hair. Makes you look like a villain. HAHAHA. Well expect no more help from me so bye my cute cross dresser. Signed creator of your mom.

Fuck. If i knew that he would help, then i would have fucking build a death star or something. Dammit. He even called me a cross dresser when he cross dressers himself. At least i am a girl now but his just a riped old man. The envelope then burned up into ashes which disappeared. 'Ting' Hmm? Oh my skill leveled up since i successfully built something that is impossible for the inhabitants to build. I opened all the spell or skill that had leveled up.

Otherworldly probably went up 2 whole tiers since i made a pretty advance shit right there. Blazing tempest went up by 2 levels. Not bad if i have to say. Haaaaa i love my new sword i said to myself in glee as i started swinging it around. The the sword swing, the sizzling sound of air companies it. Black colour is nicer than blue actually. The hilt is blue though. I still have some of the alloy i made. A good chunk of it actually since the hilt is mostly hollow. I should save it for something else but for now, the sword would do. The size of the hilt is about a adult human hand size and not the size of a sangheli's hand by the way. 

i decided to experiment with my new energy sword and i tried slashing a tree. The blade went through without any resistance and the tree was cut into 2. Wicked. This will be enough for self defense. Where should i keep it though? After pondering for awhile, i decided to strap it at my upper thigh which is just covered by the damn short skirt. Why does this school have such short skirt anyway i complained to myself while walking back to my dorm. It was getting late when i arrived.

"Where did you go!" Aria appeared behind me with a annoyed face. "Uh shopping?" "Huh? I thought you hated shopping?" "Shopping for necessity is different from shopping for fun!" i scoffed. "So what did you shop for then?" Aria replied back while smirking. "I don't see you holding anything though." Aria continued. "I uh food! That's right i went out for food!" i replied too fast without thinking what i was going to say. "Ho right." and with that Aria stopped questioning me. Aria probably knows that i was lying so i am glad that she left it at that. I don't want my secret weapon seen by anybody after all.

After i ate dinner i went back up to my room. Today was such a successful day. I should start training swordsmanship so i can use my sword more easier but i probably would have to modify the techniques since i will gripping the sword differently from a normal sword. After thinking about what to do in the future, i fell asleep. 

The next day, the same as usual day went past except that i asked for a instructor in swordsmanship. I was told that i was too young but i managed to convince them by saying that starting early is better. "HARDER!" the instructor shouted at me from the back as i was holding a small sword and swinging it at a straw doll. "Why am i starting with a real sword!" i complained to the instructor. "Using a wooden sword is light and only helps you stabilize your swinging but you would have to get used to the weight of a real sword after changing so i rather make you start with a real sword.  That answered your question? Now get back to swinging!" yelled the instructor. 

The instructor's name is Takeo and he is a werewolf. His method of training is harsh. Making me run around the whole compound many times every day, making me swing swords and practice stance. I am a little girl for crying out loud. This guy has no sympathy at all. Days flew by as i trained. I didn't only did sword training but magic training as well. I pushed back the thought of making a gun until i could be more efficient in magic and wielding. Aria started practicing spirit magic and had already made a contract with a earth spirit. Surprisingly, after that one time Aria sucked my blood, she didn't do it again so i started letting my guard down around her.

9 months went by and I had grew up to 145cm while Aria was 148cm. More importantly, i grew another tail! Since i have a choker stuck on, the extra tail became the same dragon tail i currently have. It looked so weird and having 2 tails is a very unique feeling. It is like having more arms. I also improved a lot in swordsmanship. After 2 months of practicing, the instructor started teaching me sword techniques. Surprisingly, he started teaching me katana styled sword techniques. Teaching me how to use a curved sword like a katana. I learned some new magic as well and also bought some magic books from a store the sold them. I also feel much more fitter! Status!

My stats went up decently. Why am i still level 1? Cause i didn't go monster hunting yet! What about the time i killed the goblins? I have no idea. Now time for my skills. Skills!

Never will i ever accept a bet like that again. Now finally spells!

I learned 2 new sword spells that is shadow slash and sword dance. Sword dance is one of my favourite spell to use since i can make my illusions go where ever i want it to go. The instructor taught me the spell after i completed his training modules. Same for shadow slash. There is no wizard or magician that can cause electric spells except me! Since i have the understanding of how it works, i can manipulate it and thus creating my very own original spell! Ha i am a genius.

9 months ago, in the forest where Aoi had created the alloy. A traveler was passing by and saw a glint of light from the corner of his eyes. He went over and found a small piece of the astral alloy that Aoi had made. "Th..this is a metal that i have never seen before!" the traveler shouted at the top of his lungs. He just happened to be a expert in metals. He brought it to more metal experts that was from the king's castle to examine it and found it to be much more harder than adamantium ore! This was a huge discovery for the people. The king (which is Aoi's father) started sending out search parties to the area the stone was found but only found slash marks that seemed to cut so thinly and without flaw.

This caused experts to believe an unidentified monster had appeared and would have more of this rare metal. Many hunters were send out but they never found the monster. Eventually, the metal was stored in the treasury deep in the castle. 

Back to the present

As i was making my way to the cafeteria, Aria ambushed me from behind with a jump on my back. "Ahh get off!" i squeaked while trying to throw her off me. "Hehe, where are you going?" Aria asked cheerfully. "Going to eat." "Ehhh, but the new students will be joining us today. "What! Isn't it next year?" i asked in shock."They are coming in earlier for this batch. I am not sure of the reason but we are going to be seniors now!" Aria replied cheerfully. Shit. My younger brother and sister will probably be in this batch of new students. "I also heard that the princess and the prince of Anten is going to attend as well! I wonder how they look like." Aria said excitedly while practically bouncing up and down.

"so let's go to the speech hall now! We might even be able to have a glance at them!" "Umm you can go without me. I rather eat than waste my time there." "What! Are you not even excited? You are no fun at all!" and with that Aria ran off to the direction of the speech hall while pouting. I got to say that Aria has gotten cuter over the months. So did i though but i can't fall for myself can i now. 

After arriving at the cafeteria, i sat down to think about my plans. What do i do? Maybe they will ignore me? Yeah they probably will. I hope so though since i don't want to really be associated with them. Now then, what should i eat? Maybe Wulf steak again? Nah i should go with Warg stew this time. Oh and Hide went to another kingdom to continue his nature magic studies there. Right and i have never seen my brother before. What's up with that? So damn weird.

"Ho so you are the dragon kin with 2 tails." a voice came from behind me. "Huh who are you?" i asked the stranger. "Isn't it courtesy to tell others your own name before asking theirs?" "Hmm is that so, then i shall not ask anymore." and with that i ignored him and started eating my stew again. "Are you ignoring me?" "You don't say genius." i retorted back. "It's been a long time since someone ignored me. This is going to be fun. What the fuck is wrong with this guy. Isn't he like 10 years old looking? "Remember my name well, my name is Takumi Sora. I hope we meet again girl." he continued before he left. What the fuck was that. Random ass guy comes from now where and introduces to me before walking off. He had red hair with brown eyes and a face that cannot be called average. He would appear handsome to me if i was a girl to begin with but i am a guy so no, he looks like a ordinary dude to me. Sorry pal.

I have a feeling that from now on, it is going to be a tough year ahead of me. After i ate, i went back to my room and locked the door before taking out my energy sword. I have decided to call it Arbiter in honor of the fictional character. I love admiring my own made weapon. Makes me proud when ever i sees it. I didn't even see how my own actual tail looks like but i can't take off this stupid choker no matter what. Fuck you creator. 

While i was admiring the weapon, someone knocked on the door. "Is that you again Aria?" i shouted at the door. "Um no i am not." a different yet familiar sound came from behind the door. I safely put back Arbiter back to my upper thigh before opening the door. "He..hello big sister Aoi, Lo..long time no see. I am going to be your room mate from now on wards. Please take good care of me." the girl in front of me said timidly. Fuck.
