The two new comrades kept moving towards the capital city for Miwa's older brother lived there and Toshiro was to take his entrance exams into the capital's cultivation academy . They soon reached the capital city four hours after they set off.
Here Miwa asked for the direction's which was given to her, they soon had lunch and set off to the location on her letter.
" is this the place "
" Yeah it's the place on the letter "
Miwa proceeded to ring the doorbell, few moments later the door opened as if anticipating their arrival . A tall man came from the door with short silver hair and dark blue eyes he definitely reassembled his younger sister.His eyes immediately met with Miwa and a slight warm smile came up as he recognized his sister and embraced her with a hug .
The three of them went into the house as he introduced himself as Miwa's older brother Shun.Shun and Toshiro got along very fast. Shun told Miwa to feel at home as he and Toshiro were going out and would be back in a short time. shun proceeds to direct Toshiro to the academy's location as his exams will be held tomorrow.
We see a majestic figure of a large building which is the academy. Toshiro gazes in awe for this will be were he will make a name for himself and ascend the ranks in the capital City and rise to the top of the nation.
"I was just like you five years ago"
.
" brings back memories"
" how was it like "
" you'll find out, I wouldn't ouldn't want to spoil your fun "
" well we should get back before Miwa gets lonely "
As they walked back Toshiro got ready to take the exams tomorrow and gain admission,
before they got back shun showed Toshiro around the city stating he should learn to find his way to the local market .
As they walked down the street of the market Toshiro noticed a peculiar shop and found out it was a blacksmith's shop. He had been seeking a particular skill which will help him earn some cash within the school's premises.
" Hello , anyone in "
shun was rather confused because it was a blacksmith's shop .
" Toshiro what are you doing here "
" I need a blacksmith's scroll of a high level , so I don't need to spend much in the future "
" Hey , who's in my shop, don't you know it's bad manners to make a racket in a blacksmith's shop "
A dwarf came out from the other door behind the shop.
" The name's jack, and what do you want "
The dwarf said inhaling a stream of cigarette he had.
" I'm looking for a high level black smithing scroll , do you have any in stock "
" of course I do I'm a blacksmith "
" so how much is it "
" You're taking the exams aren't ya boy "
Toshiro gazed at him without replying his last statement.
" Two hundred gold coins "
" I'll accept it "
' Here's a question for you little man , do you have a black box "
" What's that "
" HaHaHa "
jack began laughing but he immediately and looked at Toshiro with a threatening gaze .
" A black box for normal people is just a way to store things that are too heavy like swords , shields , body armor and other things, But for blacksmith's it's an Inventory that lets them begin the foundation of what they are crafting " loosing his threatening gaze.
" I understand now , I need a black box to craft How much will that cost "
" Ah , I'll throw it in as a discount "
" Thank you " he bowed to show his gratitude .
As they began to leave the shop Toshiro noticed most people had animal's beside them.
" Hey shun , why do most people have animal's beside them "
" They're spirit souls, beasts who have a loyal contract with their owners ".
" Hey , Toshiro can you summon your sword essence "
" Yeah "
" I would like a demonstration at home "
" Okay "
As they walked home Toshiro was thinking about his blacksmiths scroll and black box he acquired that they.when they got back they noticed Miwa had gone all-out to prepare dinner even though there were maids.She stated she was taking the exams too and wanted the two of them to be full that night.
After dinner shun told him to show his sword essence. A bright blue light shone as sword came up Toshiro's palm. It was a truly magnificent sight . shun and Miwa were in awe at the site. Miwa proceeded to show her own sword but it did not come forth. Her brother looked at her and said she had to be ready for tomorrow and he would help her summon it beforehand. He explained the exams were never pure combat but you just had to show it as one of the procedure. He then told them how the tests would be taken in order
First to show you had spirit Force and show them your aura.
Next the sword essence
and finally a mental test.
Toshiro had nothing to worry about cause he already showed spirit essence and sword essence. He was also confident in his mental state at that time.He then told the two he wanted to rest and go to bed. A maid showed him his bedroom. I was spacious and just what he needed to try out his blacksmiths scroll. He opened the scroll for this would be his first time trying to equip a skill and of a high grade too. He started meditating to gain spirit essence before he begun.
