A brand new saber! But why isn’t it a saber!? (Part 2)

"Umm, how do I-"

"Figure it out yourself." The guy dismissed my query without batting an eye. "I'll give extra effort in refining this, but it should still take a week. So how about you bring back the core next week and hand the saber and core while getting this sword back? That should work for the prelims. And if I remember correctly during my time, swords were allowed just fine." He grinned. "And though this saber was made for that bastard, I still don't have a good core, the current is a piece from R&D, so I wouldn't use too much radiation if I were you."

"Alright!" I had no reason to doubt him. And it wasn't like he could just run away with my sword. After all, I had someone in my family who was a master at tracking down people. "But why the hell a scythe. I mean you can easily make this a sword, right?"

And more importantly, the damn aura this scythe radiated, screamed pure evil: black!
