7 Chapter 6
" The royal knights have different ranks. We have captain's, vice captain's, and regular soilders. There is also a science team dedicated to research.
The position your in is a regular soilder. Your a royal guard but I will be your guide. Usually some of them go under a captain but for talented people they can do what they want.
The fact you completed this mission proves it. When they have a mission for you they will tell me and I'll tell you. If you want to do missions you know where to go.
You'll get your grimore when your 15. Any questions?"
" How does one become a captain? "
" Strength and merit. Depending on how strong you are and the evidence shown to the king. They will decide if your worth that title. "
" I see. One last question? Can you give me the address of the blacksmith you know? "
" Yes I did say that I will tell you. I call him old man Kai so just call him that. He lives here. " He then gave a paper with his address.
" Thank you sensei. "
" No problem kid. You gave me some fun during these 2 years. Came back if you need some help."
" Alright. I'll hold you to that. "I said as I left the room.

I then headed towards the place where the blacksmith lived.
It was a house made of rusted wood. But I shouldn't judge based on how it looks on the outside so I headed inside. Scratch that. It's almost as bad. The walls are dirty and the place is a mess. There were just crates in the corner along with things scattered on the floor.
" Hello. Anyone home?" I called out. No one answered.
" Hello. Anyone home? " I tried again.
" Hello. Anyone ho..."
" Yeah yeah. I'm coming so SHUT UP!" A cranky old voice spoke out.
" Kids these days have no respect. No respect at all. " A short man said. If anything he looked like dwarf.
" So who are you kid? And why are you here? "
" Are you old man Bai? "
" Only one person calls me that. Tell me kid what's your connection to that brat Karasuma."
" I'm his student. " He looks at me in surprise.
" So your the student he brags about. Since your here I'm guessing you passed the exam. "
" Your correct. I passed and I'm here to ask you if you can make me a sword? "
" A sword? I haven't made a sword in a long time. This might be fun. What kind of sword do you want? "
" A katana. "
" Alright but you don't need to wait. I already have it."My eye widens at this.
" Really. Why do you have it made? "
" Simple. That brat kept talking on how you would pass with flying colours. I decided to trust him and made a sword."
He went to the back and got I blade that was sheathed. When I touched the blade I could feel a presence in it. Must be a cursed sword.
" Yes it's a curse sword. " The old man said as if reading my mind. "This sword is the last sword I made. I had a few materials left and made it. Go on try it. "
I pulled the sword out. It was cursed but I am not going to bow down to it. So I did what anyone would to in this situation. Dominate it and force it to serve me. I added my magic with my killing intent on the sword. It kept resisting however I won out in the end.
I took at my new blade. It has a sharp silver edge and had a feeling that it was out for blood. Just to be cliche and the fact I copied his sword style I named the blade,
" Yamato. "
" Hmm a good name. "
" Thank for the sword. How much do I owe you? "
" Don't worry about it. It's free. "
" I see. Them do have you have any knifes or daggers. "
" I do. But they cost money. "
" Don't worry you'll get paid. "
" Okay then. " He then gave me 2 sets of knifes and daggers each. 1 set contained 6 knifes or daggers.
I paid him and then left. I then went to buy a house. I managed to find one for a good deal. I paid the guy and went inside. It was a small but good enough.
Luckily it came with a kitchen. I made dinner and went to sleep on my bed which I stole from the dorms.It wasn't the bed I used. I took someone else's but I didn't take their mattress. I took the one on my bed their but left the frame while using that mattress to replace mine. Pretty simple.
