Noah soon realized that with Oathbreaker, he could concentrate his powers in a certain area. This would prevent him from suffering backlashes and he would be able to acquire control over his powers.
He could also use the sword to keep his powers in check until he got perfect control over them again or if something serious happened.
Noah once again checked his status. His rank had been changed to B rank which was a good news.
'Spirit magic rules out the skills requirement. To move on to the next rank, I need to infuse mana with objects, create weapon aura, and create mana domain too.'
The first part was already achieved since Noah had fused his fire mana with Oathbreaker. Now the sword would remain covered in his flames as long as it was provided a constant supply of mana.
He could infuse the sword with all of his mana and since he couldn't break it, he could do some really crazy things with it.
The new thing Noah had to do was create weapon aura. Sadly, that was something he couldn't do for the time being.
Weapon aura basically meant giving your weapon its own presence. The further you honed a weapon, there was a chance of creating a soul weapon.
Soul weapons were the same as living objects. Souls objects also contained soul spirits inside them.
These spirits could either be created using one's own soul or if some other natural spirit willingly entered the sword.
'Ugh, this I why I liked leaving both Earth and Gaia behind. The palace of time didn't have any complicated leveling up systems. It was just based on brain and brawn mixed with trickery, duels and game challenges.' Noah sighed.
He twirled Oathbreaker in his hand and sighed again. Another reason that he couldn't move on to the next rank was due to the fact that Oathbreaker was a cursed weapon.
No spirit could enter it and if Noah used his soul to create, he might as well jump down a cliff and fall to his death.
'Wait, I can't create weapon aura because of that as well since I need to provide the weapon I chose a small portion of my small.' Noah groaned.
He put Oathbreaker back inside the storage and started reading again. It was better if he prepared for the exam and worried about such things after a week.
'Wait, didn't Ayame ask me to sell the ring?' Noah remembered. 'I should go to the black market tomorrow and see if I can trick Checzoloa into giving me something in exchange for the ring.'
By doing that, Noah could also check up on Stella and Eve.
Noah kept studying until his mother returned home with Izzy's family. The moment Erika stepped into the room, she raised her eyebrows.
"How many hours?" Erika asked curiously while taking a whiff of the room.
"Hmm, about three to four hours? I didn't keep exact count." Noah replied with a shrug. "Also, how did you figure out things happened here?"
"When you have a SSS grade affinity with air, you can do a lot of fun things." Erika replied with a wink. She stretched her body before looking at the bathroom.
"I am going to shower. I brought takeout in case you were hungry. Its placed on the couch." Erika added before dashing into the bathroom.
That instantly reminded Noah that they had laundry to do and that he was about to run out of clothes to wear in two to three days.
Knowing Erika, this was the time she would start doing laundry and Noah would have to help her.
If they combined their powers together, they would go through at least a month's worth of laundry in ten minutes.
Noah helped himself to his dinner while Erika showered. But once his mother was done, she called him from the bathroom.
"Noah, we have to do the laundry!"
Hearing her voice, Noah made his way to the bathroom. He cracked his knuckles a bit and stepped inside the bathroom.
Erika had just emptied out the entirety of their laundry which had resulted in the creation of a clothes mountain. All of their clothes were tangled together in the mountain.
Erika and Noah exchanged a glance and wondered how both of them could be this lazy.
"Maybe we should consider doing laundry on a weekly basis…" Erika muttered.
"Definitely," Noah agreed before the two of them started sorting the laundry.
Erika and Noah used their wind magic to slowly being the clothes from the top of the pile down to the floor. The clothes were touching the ceiling so it wasn't an easy feat.
"Ok so now, we use water and wind magic to clean them thoroughly. If you want to have ironed clothes, you can mix fire and water to do that." Erika informed.
The two of them then started grabbing random pieces of clothes and started cleaning them. Noah's first cloth was Erika's blouse while she got his jeans.
Both of them silently used their wind and water magic to throughly cleanse the clothes. They managed to reduce the mountain to half before things got a bit awkward.
They had reached a section where most of their underwear was piled up.
"Let's just do these after checking whose clothes you are cleaning." Erika said with a light a cough.
Noah silently agreed with her and advanced forward. He couldn't help but cough a lot at times when he saw a few pieces of clothes that he probably shouldn't have.
[AN: Nope, I am not going to write the perverted things some of you are thinking. I'm sorry but I don't write such things xD. ]
Once that hurdle was cleared, both of them went on rapid speed mode since they didn't have to bother about separating lingerie from underwear…
"Phew, we are done." Erika sighed after a few minutes. All of their clothes were lying beside both Noah and Erika.
Now they simply had to fold and put them in their respective storages. But since both of them were feeling lazy, they simply threw the clothes in their storages and called it a day…

AN: Ahem, this chapter could've turned out to be a whole other thing.
