Chapter 11 - Black

"Master is there anything on your mind that is bugging you?" Angela voiced her concern as she saw Kayasth going here and there. Kayasth didn't say anything, he was searching for anything useful thing in the trading center but as more he searched, he came to a conclusion that there isn't anything useful for him in here. There was only last floor remaining, and it was weapon section, it was where all the weapons of all the center were stored whether they are for selling or trash.

It was early in the morning so there no customers present int the weapon section as it was the floor which was mostly crowed. When Kayasth entered the weapon section all the employees left their work and went forward to greet Kayasth, they all bowed to and said in unison, "Greetings, Young Master!" Kayasth accepted their greetings and sent all of them back to their respective work.

After some time of searching he found a sword, the sword was emitting black aura. It was stored securely at middle of the weapon section, even if the sword was not in such security no one can steal the sword because the sword was of epic grade and contained a consciousness. Only weapons of legendary grade or unique grade can have consciousness, but this was a top tier epic grade sword and was forged by a grandmaster blacksmith. When the blacksmith was making a legendary weapon, he failed to create a legendary weapon, so he thought it was better to create an epic level weapon than destroying the materials used.

The weapon was named Black because of its appearance and was brought by Kayasth's father, Black has a consciousness so it can't be wielded by anyone otherwise it would be sold already. Kayasth came near Black and stared down at the sword, suddenly the sword started vibrating and emanating dark black aura. Angela became worried when she saw the sword suddenly attacking her master, just as she was about step forward Kayasth stopped her. Kayasth calmly watched as the aura around him was started getting darker and darker but then Kayasth's eyes stared changing color, it changed from blue to purple.

Kayasth started emitting purple aura, when the dark aura came near him it dissipated, Kayasth moved forward and grabbed the scabbard of the sword, just as he grabbed the sword all the dark aura dissipated, and everything returned to normal his eye also returned to normal. In Kayasth's hand the sword became docile as a pet, when the workers saw this, they were astonished because they have seen that many people getting rejected by the sword, many people wanted that sword, but they can't make it acknowledge them as it's master, but what they saw now made them rub their eyes.

Angela came near Kayasth and said happily, "Congratulation Master, the sword acknowledged you as it's master." Kayasth didn't say anything he putted the sword back on the self and continued searching for another thing, everyone there was shocked when Kayasth putted the sword back as no one in their right mind will reject a top tier epic grade weapon but Kayasth did that. Angela followed him and said meekly, "Master did you not like the sword? It even acknowledged you as its master"

Kayasth said while continuing his search, "It didn't acknowledge me as its master I just dominated the sword's will" he said it like it was a matter of fact, but Angela was shocked beyond words because to overcome a weapon's will, one should have a very strong will himself. Beside Kayasth don't use weapon itself either he makes the weapons through aura aur mana or fight using fists he stopped fighting with weapons when he was reincarnated in cultivator lifeline.

Kayasth suddenly came near a self which had holding fan it and was yellow in color it also had execuisite patterns of sakura on it. There was a description of the fan below the self, it was a medium tier epic grade weapon, it can be used in showing off or in fighting anyone. Kayasth took the holding fan and went to counter and said to them "Send this to my mansion." After saying that he left the weapon section.

It was about time the trading center opened and Kayasth just went to guest area where people of high status were received and sat down on the sofa. He took out his smartphone and started browsing on Internet and there he saw a lot of news about the increasing numbers of gates in the world. Previously the gates would take around a month to overflow but now it gets overflowed in two weeks there is currently no S-rank gate but there are around two or three A-rank gates in Azaroth. Monsters from an A-rank gate can overrun a city like White city and the monsters from S-rank gate can overrun whole capital city.

While Kayasth was reading news on his smartphone, Peter together with Mike entered the trading center. For the first time Peter came to such a huge place he was astounded by seeing so many things and everything was costly. Today Peter came to trading center to buy himself a weapon after he broke through the minor realm, he was happy and came to such a place as their assignment date was coming near.

When Peter entered the weapon section his eyes darted straight towards Black, after seeing the sword his first thought was to get that sword than anything. He came near the self where Black was kept, then he lightly grazed the sword's scabbard the sword emitted black aura when Peter touched the sword, some workers came near him to help if he got injured in any way but they again were shocked to see that the sword doing nothing to Peter. The sword's scabbard flew towards him, and Peter caught it with his hand he took the sword a small commotion broke there as many people who have seen Black there were shocked to see that the sword acknowledging Peter as its master.

Peter gripped the sword and went to the counter to buy that sword, "This sword costs forty-five thousand gold coins." Peter was flustered because the sword's price was very high. He said "Please lower the price of the sword a little bit, it is too costly " but the cashier just shook his head and refused.

Suddenly a voice came from behind "Sell him the sword". As the voice came everyone's attention turned towards the person who spoke. It was Kayasth who spoke, he came here after seeing the commotion here, he was wondering what was happening here and he saw Peter haggling for the sword.

The cashier stood up and bowed his head down and said, "B-But Young M-Master...." he wanted to say something but Kayasth interrupted him and said "We don't know when this sword will acknowledge someone as its master and will gain nothing but rust here so it is better to sell the sword to this person." The cashier nodded and said to Peter "Ok it can be sold to you at thirty thousand" Peter was shocked to see the price of the sword getting lower. Peter hurriedly paid the amount of gold coins, just as he was about to say Thank Kayasth he noticed that he had already departed, he just remembered Kayasth's face thought to thank him latter on. He turned to face Mike who was also shocked just like him.

Kayasth returned to the parking lot where his car was parked and entered the car and said "Let's go to Star restaurant for Lunch."
