I followed the shopowner to a door behind the counter. There were two stairs, one leading up and the other one down.
He went downstairs and I followed him. I could hear the sounds of metal hitting each other. It was very loud.
As soon as I reached the end of the stairs, I saw two dwarves at work. One struck the sword with a hammer, the other heated another sword in the furnace. It was the first time I saw a dwarf working on a sword.
I looked around to see swords hanging on the walls. I could tell that they were at least three or four star swords.
I was astonished by the swords hanging on the wall when the owner called out to me.
"Here, take this." The shopowner threw a sword at me. I could not catch it and it hit the ground.
"You don't even deserve a one-star sword if you can't even catch a sword by its handle." He said as he massaged his temples.
'How was I supposed to catch that when I was looking around!?'
I picked up the sword fallen on the ground quietly and swung it two to three times in the air.
"Don't show your garbage skills to me. Just pay up and go." He said as he pushed me and went up the stairs.
'What's his problem?' I thought as I too, started heading up.
"Wait." The dwarf hitting the sword called out to me. He was hitting the sword all the time when the owner was making fun of me.
I turned around to look at him. He was about to speak something when his eyes looked down and then he turned back.
"Nothing, forget about it." He said as he went back to the sword in which he was working.
At that moment, I started to think about a hundred scenarios that were possible regarding his weird behaviour.
'Did he think of me as some other customer?'
'Does he know about my skills and was about to tell me something?'
'Dwarves are said to live for about five centuries. Does he know something about my memories or the voice in my dream?'
As I was thinking about these questions, the owner shouted at me.
"What the hell are you doing there!?"
I thought of it as nothing and started to head up as I heard his voice.
"Pay up and leave." The owner said as he pointed towards the magic ball.
My sword was kept on the counter. There were some people who were murmuring as they saw me. They hadn't forgotten about my fight with that guy.
'I should just pay up and leave fast.'
"How much?" I asked.
"Eleven Silver coins." He said.
I took out my card from my pocket. To pay with the card, the person must say the amount he wants to pay slowly.
'Eleven silver coins.'
The ball shined green as I brought it near.
[|| A/Note:
1 Bronze coin = 1 USD
1 Silver Coin = 100 USD
1 Platinum Coin = 10000 USD
1 Gold Coin = 100000 USD ||]
"I am your customer. Shouldn't you talk nicely with me?" I said.
"I don't have any 'nice' behaviour for the person who fights in my shop." He said.
I headed outside as I knew it was pointless to talk with him. I started to walk towards my dorm.
I wasn't angry at the owner as his behaviour was justified but it's not like it's my fault. That guy was the one who started it.
"Maybe my whole week is just bad. I should just sleep today and see what happens tomorrow." I said to myself.
'I should eat some food before heading to the dorm.' I thought as I opened my map to find a restaurant.
After two hours.
I am in my room after eating food, currently doing some pushups. I thought of training with my sword but this room is small for practicing with a sword.
'Seven.'
My plan right now is to train my body as that voice had told me.
'Fifteen.'
After doing fifteen pushups, I was feeling like giving up. I was sweating a bit now. My body can still do it till forty.
'Thirty.'
Should I try something else? I would have gone to a training ground if I could but you can't use one till you passed the qualification exams.
After you pass the examinations, you can use the training grounds in the Academy for free if you have the required rank.
'Fifty.'
I was sweating more than before. I could do more push-ups if I pushed my body to my limit.
My mind right now was so confused. I didn't know the source of my power nor the voice in my head or the memories.
"Wait. I could hear the voice when I was sleeping. Can I hear it again if I sleep?" I said to myself.
'I should try it once.'
I opened up my sweaty uniform and casted basic cleaning magic upon it. It was now clean than a second before. I had to wear it tomorrow.
I kept it inside the closet and then jumped on my bed to sleep.
I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. I thought of noting the progress I made today in my mind while I was sleeping.
Sword?
Done.
Body Progress?
Same as before.
Rank?
Same.
AIMBOT upgraded?
No.
Any new skills?
No.
Let's go to some personal things right now.
Friends?
None.
Feelings for anyone?
Hmm... No.
I had seen many girls while walking on my way to the weapon store. I liked each and everyone of them so could it be called love? Of course not.
I should really stop crushing on everyone I see.... Let's continue now.
Rivals?
Maybe the one in the shop. No hate but I hate that guy.
Enemies?
None.
'So my total progress would be... sh*t.'
I thought as I began to fall asleep now.
