10 Fairy Tools!

Chapter 10 - Fairy Tools!

Claudia observed Luke walking back, reminiscing about their connection formed through Pandora's dream and recognizing his immense power.

Upon seeing the adaptation rate display showing an astonishing 100%, and witnessing his ability to effortlessly control Ser-Veresta's flames and transformation upon the first contact, Claudia, although prepared, was surprised. Simultaneously, a sense of relief washed over her.

"After all, this is the only way he can do that kind of thing in a dream."

Thanks to him, the troublesome side effect of Orga Lux 'Pandora' had ceased for a long time. Now that it had recovered, its impact was much more restrained than before.

The prolonged mental stress caused by lingering in death dreams could also be slightly alleviated, bringing genuine happiness to Claudia, its user.

"How do you feel about using Ser-Veresta?"

Curious, Fan Xinglu inquired as she watched Luke return. Ser-Veresta, one of the Four Colored Magic Swords, held unrivaled power in Asterisk City, sparking even Fan Xinglu's interest.

"How should I put it? In terms of sword quality, I'm afraid there is nothing stronger than Ser-Veresta in the entire Asterisk City. From this point of view, of course, I am quite satisfied."

Claudia, hearing Luke's reply, asked with confusion, "So, Luke, do you have any other dissatisfaction with Ser-Veresta?"

Fan Xinglu, understanding immediately, looked at Luke and then at Ser-Veresta, realizing the issue.

"I see, it's because of the scabbard."

Thinking of the swordsmanship Luke had learned, Fan Xinglu addressed the absence of a scabbard.

Though Luke had studied with Fan Xinglu for two years, he continued to use the three swordsmanships learned in the Main God Space, with Hiten-Mitsurugi-Ryu being the best among them.

"Hiten-Mitsurugi-Ryu's secret sword skill is the sword-drawing skill, but Ser-Veresta does not have a scabbard."

"This is a bit troublesome," Claudia added, reacting to Fan Xinglu's explanation.

"It is indeed a bit troublesome, but it is not a big problem that cannot be solved."

Scratching his head, Luke acknowledged the inconvenience of Ser-Veresta lacking a scabbard.

Yet, in comparison to its overall power, this issue couldn't be considered a flaw and was not impossible to solve.

After two years of study, Luke's reliance on a particular swordsmanship had gradually decreased, and his current swordsmanship leaned towards the state of 'doing whatever you want.'

"After you go back, let the academy prepare a batch of ordinary Lux with scabbards for you to use first."

Picking up the topic, Fan Xinglu proposed preparing not just one, but a batch of scabbards for Luke.

The real trouble for Luke was not that Ser-Veresta lacked a scabbard; its flame would likely destroy an ordinary scabbard after just one use.

Originally known for being able to destroy other Orga Lux, Ser-Veresta's power exceeded that of ordinary Lux. Even without using its ability to burn everything, merely unfolding the sword could render ordinary weapons useless.

In essence, for Ser-Veresta to officially have its scabbard, it needed to be an Orga Lux of the same specifications. However, purely scabbard-type Orga Lux didn't exist, as no academy would develop such a seemingly useless scabbard.

"I don't have any special requirements for the scabbard, as long as it can be used."

Agreeing with Fan Xinglu's solution, Luke, with his 'portable pocket,' found it convenient to carry more scabbards. Fan Xinglu, aware of Luke's ability to store items, proposed this solution. However, Luke hoped for a long-term solution to permanently address the scabbard issue.

"Let me handle this matter. I happen to have something I want to do recently, so I'll give it a try."

Fan Xinglu's words immediately captured Luke and Claudia's attention.

"It turned out to be 'Banyuu Tenra' who did it herself. Could it be the legendary 'Immortal/Fairy Tool'?"

Claudia, surprised by Fan Xinglu's proactive approach, speculated about the involvement of 'Banyuu Tenra.' Immortal/Fairy tools were akin to urban legends in Asterisk City, known only to those familiar with 'Banyuu Tenra.' These unique pieces of equipment, crafted by 'Banyuu Tenra,' possessed special abilities like Orga Lux. Legends even suggested that some immortal/fairy tools surpassed Orga Lux in power.

"Hmph, there's nothing wrong with saying it's a fairy tool, but it's still different from previous fairy tools."

Fan Xinglu's eyes sparkled, indicating her anticipation of something interesting.

"But of course, I can't give it to you for nothing."

After some thought, Fan Xinglu clapped her hands and said to Luke with a smile, "That's right! Just think of it as the reward for winning this year's Lindwurm Festa."

"Do you really think so highly of me and are so convinced that I can win? You must know that this year's Lindwurm Festa will be attended by 'Ereshkigal,' who is known as the strongest Strega in history."

Hearing Luke's answer, Fan Xinglu rolled her eyes angrily.

"Why, if you don't have confidence, forget it."

Luke, looking at Fan Xinglu's appearance, sighed. He hadn't expected that the little lolita in front of him turned out to be an immortal/fairy who had lived for more than a thousand years.

"Since the master has spoken, then the disciples will naturally do their best to fulfill it."

The interaction between Luke and Fan Xinglu deeply moved Claudia. She felt overwhelmed by the surprises of the day.

"This year's 'Lindwurm' is really scary. After 'Ereshkigal' and 'Sigrdrifa,' even the 'Extreme Swordsman' decided to participate? In a Lindwurm Festa, three schools' ranked ones actually participated at the same time."

Claudia's emotions caught Fan Xinglu's interest.

"Oh yeah? Are you also interested in participating as Seidoukan Academy's rank one?"

"If you also participate, Arlequint Academy might ignore it, but if I put a little pressure, the 'Pendragon' of Saint Galahadworth Academy might participate as well."

The more Fan Xinglu discussed it, the happier she became, envisioning a competition among the top-ranked players from five different schools. In this scenario, the Arlequint Academy would never stand idly by, likely leading to a decisive battle among the top-ranked players from all six schools.
