Chapter 11:

“Oh, you already know what I came here for…...improvements.” Yue Fei said gesturing with a slight tilt of his head towards the Guan Dao hefted in his right hand. Before he then lifted it of his shoulder holding it in front of him.

“Again? Didn’t I already make the adjustments that you want just last week and now you want more again jesus man you’re going to work me to death.” Hou An raised an eyebrow at this giving his friend a curious look but neither less receiving the weapon with both hands rising from his work table to another table after shifting the contents upon its surface he placed the Guan Dao down.

“You could have at least cleaned it up a bit before you came looking for me sheesh.” Hou An complained taking a nearby cloth hang off the side of the desk to wipe away the last stains of blood and bits still clinging pieces of gore on the blade’s surface edge.

“I did just not all of it because I came straight here after I came back, I didn’t have time to do a fully thorough job.” Yue Fei simply replied.

“Yeah, I can see that.” Hou An wiped away the last bits of gore before checking and rechecking again to make sure he got it all before casually tossing aside the rag he held into the nearby dumpster. Then he reached for his nearest toolbox withdrawing the tool he needed from within before beginning to dismantle the Guan Dao before him.

“So, exactly what kind of improvements were you thinking for you already know there is a limit of what I can do for you at the moment.” Hou An said over the higher pit noise of his tools at work as he carefully removed the heavy thick blade of the Guan Dao placing it to the side.

“Not much I just need you to add in a few features for me, would you? I mean it shouldn’t be that hard for someone of your genius.” Yue Fei said with a slight grin on his lips baiting his friend.

Hou An rolled his eyes at his friend’s provocation but still chose to bite. “What extra features?”

“I want you to add my pressure gun onto the head on top of the blade of my Guan Dao I feel the need to switch or hold to weapon a little time consuming in combat so if you can put them together that would be great.” Yue Fei at this moment handed him his pressure gun to which Hou An halted in whatever he was doing to receive the weapon.

“That is going to be on a hell of a project you’re trying to give me I would need to take my time with that…. I assume there’s more.”

Stolen story; please report.

“You assumed correctly I also need you to add an electric filament to the weapon if you could just like my sword if you would.”

“Ha~, figures you were going to say that I’ll try to make things work but no promises its not like there are many spare generators left for me to simply for me to take apart you know, the supply of generators you brought back are already nearly depleted actually I worded that wrong they’re all in use right now so we have no spares that we can risk.”

That fact was not lost of on Yue Fei even as his friend reminded him, he knew he was asking something unfavorable request of Hou An. The generators were an invaluable resource at the moment there was no way to replace them should they break down and they are what’s keeping much of the equipment’s within the academy ground active at the moment.

“Hah~, I will see as to what extent of your request I can accomplish but this will take about couple days or more so for the time being take my spear and pressure gun for your usage while I work on your shit.”

“Hou An bro there’s not need for that I still have my sword-” Yue Fei tried to refuse the offer given but Hou An put him off as he gestured to a certain area with one hand.

“Just take them it’s not like I really need them anyway since I’m mostly going to be here anyway, so it’s better to have extra weapons than none right? Don’t worry I have a few extra toys stored up just for me so don’t worry about me being defenseless. And I adjusted the spear somewhat during my free time so you might appreciate it.”

“Thanks, come find me when you are down Hou An.” With nothing left to say Yue Fei said his piece and walk away from Hou An’s work table and towards the exit there by the door to the side was the kit that Hou An said to take. Hou An’s electrical spear as he said was defiantly tweaked as the shape and form of the weapon was different to the naked eye. Clearly it was thicker than before the head was enlarge too the wiring attached to the base was reinforced with electric tape, Hou An’s own custom pressure gun’s wire was also attached to the backpack.

These were the features that was the most visually visible. Yue Fei didn’t pay any more attention to it as he would simply find out more when he uses it tomorrow, as he picked it up strapped on the bookbag straps over his shoulders hefting the spear in one hand the pressure gun in the other before realize the side holster for the gun to the side of the backpack to which he placed the gun in as he excited the room.

Bum-bum-bum~! (The sound of banging on wood)

Later through the day Yue Fei was passed out in his dorm room building in his bed lost in dreamland before the knocking began. He felt begrudging tired beyond belief and he felt a sense of loss within himself he didn’t know why he remembered only bits and pieces of a dream or a vison he just had. However, he found himself fixated on one particular image, a person a male by the looks of it he carried a naked dao blade, engraved with ancient battle-curses and characters that he didn’t recognize. His face was exposed – raw and severe, the bronzed skin as hard as iron but that was it, he couldn’t see the person’s features it was fuzz like the censoring fuzzes on certain TV shows.

The face wasn’t all that important but the blade he carried……...wasn’t that the sword he himself carried?

Bum-bum-bum~! (The sound of banging on wood)

“Hey Yue Fei wake up-wake up.” He heard someone calling for him while banging on his door rapidly forcing him to rise up shoulder first the motion bringing him back to reality from dreamland as he begrudging got up from his bed.

“Yeah~, hang on I’m coming, what is it what’s the hurry.” Yue Fei dressed in only his underwear stepped to his room’s door opening it wide open seeing Mengya on the other side.

“Hey Mengya what’s up?” he let out a yawn still half asleep his mind.

“Yue hurry up and get dress you need to head over to the principal’s office right now.” Mengya said with a sense of urgency in his voice even pushing past Yue Fei and steeping into his room to grab a set of clothes for him from his closet.

“Hold on man what’s going are you going to tell me or what?” Yue Fei demanded of Mengya now fully awake receiving the clothes that Mengya gave him.

“Well….” Mengya stared off “There has been some news from the second exportation team something that you might like.”
