The petite elf ran towards the group of five. "Hello Samael, are these your friends." Awa asked.
Samael felt a chill down his spine as Alice stared at him but he still spoke, "Everyone this is Awa the Rank 1 freshman Healer and Awa these are my friends, Feng Yutu, Xiao Ying, Acala and Alice."
"Hello Awa", the four all taking the initiative to shake her hand.
Feng Yutu moved closer towards the elf her eyes brightening up as she saw the small height difference between them (also changed Feng Yutu's height to 1.55 metres), "I will definitely grow taller than you then I won't be the shortest in the group."
Yutu'er was drooling, it was as if she could already imagine the scene of her towering over Awa, the respected eyes surrounding her the cheers and praises of the masses....!
A red print was on Yutu's forehead and the others except Awa were looking at her, laughing.
Acala was standing over her, his finger still outstretched, he had flicked her forehead, "Junior Sister, you seem very happy, what were you dreaming." he teased.
Feng Yutu realised everyone was laughing at her and quickly wiped the drool of her face, "Nothing! Let's just go and set up our guild notice," she groaned running towards the main square where all classes can rendezvous.
Xiao Ying, Acala and Awa all followed her, Samael was also going to leave but Alice stopped him in his tracks.
"Yes, you were right, that elf is very pretty Samael!"
"Hey now, I wasn't going to lie was I." he replied, "I Samael Forte, am an honest person." he said playfully.
"Ok, ok, I like your honesty very much." Alice said through gritted teeth.
"Alice did I not mention your very beautiful too," Samael whispered into her ear, while also peering into her eyes.
Her cheeks glowed a beautiful rose pink, as she quickly broke eye contact, her heart was pounding in her chest, she's known Sami for 12 years and has developed strong feelings for him.
But is it love?
Samael realised his childhood friend was in a daze, so he dragged her with him going towards the main square, "Let's go, we need to catch up."
As the duo reached the square they noticed something was going on as they heard a commotion from the centre. Bringing Alice with him Samael quickly stepped into the air, similar to the few students who had the wind element and the even fewer students who had stepped into Tier 9.
Feng Yutu was also in the air using Boreas' Wings to carry the other 3, Samael flew towards them and helped Yutu'er out after all she is only Tier 6.
"What is going on?" Alice asked, the radiant blush had disappeared restoring her calm state.
Xiao Ying stepped forward to explain, many people had started up guilds and are looking for talented people to join them, the Rank 1 forger did not create a guild so many people have begun to fight over him but this situation has snowballed out of control creating the tense scene in front of them.
"All of you shut the fuck up!" a rough voice boomed.
Silence spread throughout the square, the Tianjiao were shocked, who would dare to speak to them like that. Their eyes focused on the source of the voice and they realised it was the forger that they were all fighting over who shouted.
Samael got a closer look at the forger, he was dwarf which is not too surprising after all their race is extremely talented at blacksmithing. He was 1.20 metres tall and had quite a lean physique which is surprising for a dwarf. He had short, fiery ginger hair and a beautifully braided beard. He wore thin and light, emerald green chainmail armour and his eyes were the same fiery orange as his hair. He had a handsome face and thick bushy eyebrows that gave him very masculine charm, different from the gentle Acala.
"Now that all of you are listening, let me introduce my self, my name is Thorus Vulcan and I am the rank 1 forger, I will join the guild with the most interesting equipment."
As soon as the handsome dwarf finished speaking hundreds of brightly flashing equipment appeared, Thorus' eye glowed with a piercing light as his sight passed over the equipment he just shook his head in disappointment.
Some times his eyes glowed more than usual but he still shook his head until he gazed onto a group of six. The golden/steel coloured light illuminated the square the lean body of the dwarf was shaking with excitement.
"You six, I assume you're in a guild together, I'll join if you show me the equipment on you right." now.
The crowd once again fell silent and all their eyes turned towards Samael and his party as they were obviously the aforementioned six. They floated towards Thorus curious to what equipment on them got him so excited.
"You lot show me your necklace, bracelet, earrings, Tetsubō and Mala beads."
The other five looked to Samael even though Alice was the leader of their guild, Sami was still the strongest and most reliable, if Samael had nominated himself to be guild leader no one would disagree but he is lazy so he didn't.
Sami nodded towards them, he was confident than even if the dwarf tried anything he would be able to stop it. So Acala, Alice, Samael and Awa gave him their equipment. (Wow I never realised how many characters names started with A lol :0).
Thorus started by looking at Athena's heart, his slender but also calloused fingers fiddled with the beautiful necklace changing its form to the spear.
"Amazing, the runes on this spear are very ancient, I don't even know if we still have the method to create them any more." Thorus rambled almost incoherently, "Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful absolutely beautiful!"
He continued this way checking out each form of Athena's heart, he soon got to the owl, "Fuck me, this is a spectacular piece of equipment, it combines ancient techniques from the Goblin, Dwarf, Lich and even Vampire race, who the fuck made this."
As the dwarf said this many people looked shocked, after all even if the races are in a loose alliance they are not true friends so it is surprising to see equipment using so many different techniques. Thorus' eyes seemed to glow even brighter as he looked at the group of six it was like he was gazing at a secret Treasure chest and he was slowly uncovering the story behind it and with each cover revealed more shocking things appeared.
Next was Acala, "These two Buddhist weapons, have been damaged to horrible amounts, it is practically unrepairable," Thorus cried, "How could someone destroy such beautiful equipment."
"Is there really no way to fix them?" Acala asked, these weapons seemed to be very important to him, even though he's only had them for a short time, it feels like he's used them for a lifetime.
"Well there is one way...."
"Say it, quickly."
"Make it into your natal weapon, this will allow you to feel where the broken pieces are and repair it. Also as natal weapon can grow with the owner it can increase the overall strength of the set of equipment. Furthermore the Tetsubō and Mala Beads were at least in the Saint realm before they broke."
"I will do it as soon as get back to the courtyard." Acala said his voice full with determination.
After was Awa's earrings surprisingly, the fingers of the dwarf once again transformed the earrings, the left one turned into a beautiful green sceptre, that gave of an aura of life and spring. The right one turned into a pure white dagger.
Thorus' ramblings continued the words beautiful were spoken a many a times.
Finally was Samael's bracelet Gluttony. The 1.70 metre great sword sprung into shape towering over the dwarf. His fiery red eyes were once again glowing with scary intensity.
"This....this weapon is terrifying why is a material from every element in this sword and there's something else, something my eyes can't see, what is it?"
The dwarf stared into the starry body of the blade his eyes sinking into the pitch black whirlpools, his left hand was scratching his beard while his face had a completely bewildered expression painted all over it, "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT LAST MATERIAL!"
Samael just smiled, "Join our guild and find out."
