It was still 3 pm, so I decided to take the subway train that led to the Azrael Central District which is just a city away from the Classroom Towers.
The place is filled with everything you can find on Las Vegas back on Earth and almost the same size too, although they might be a little additions.
I wanted to go to a Casino, but I realized that I knew nothing about modern day gambling, so I just kept myself sitting in the train, until it reached the northern outskirts of the city where there are only Weapon Towers.
Although most people only use their soul weapons to fight there are people like me who have a non-combat soul weapon and if a person reaches the Silver Rank their Aether can cut through Ashes without the use of a soul weapon.
My soul weapon is a playing card that lets me compute distance and one of the soul weapons that can be easily damaged.
I walked out of the subway and was greeted by stain glass towers again, after all each tower has its own weapon that can be found there.
Back in the Central Plans I could be called the master of theoretical fights because the concept there was similar to in my novel when in came to the usage of Ki or in this case Aura/ Mana.
Let me explain further.
Just because a person awakens doesn't mean they can straight up use Aura to fight, for mana users its different since they can just use spells.
Anyone for a person at Copper 1 to 3 ranks like me can't manifest our Aura/ Mana outside the body, this is called the light stage.
A person at the Bronze 1 to 3 ranks can manifest Aura/ Mana outside the body, but it can only used to shield the body not as a weapon this is called the showoff stage.
A person at the Silver 1 to Platinum 3 ranks can envelop weapons in Aura/ Mana and can increase strength together with the length of the weapon, this is called the battle stage.
A person at the Black 1 to Black 3 ranks can shape Aura/ Mana into anything they like including even monsters, this is called the manifestation stage, where the current strongest humans are on at the moment.
A person at the Chaos 1 to Chaos 3 ranks can manifest Aura/ Mana through thought alone this is called the mind weapon stage.
A person at the Regnant rank can move Aether energy around the world, this is called the God stage.
If a being is possessed by an Ash they all start at battle stage, meaning I am weaker than a Primary Rank Ash mouse.
...All I have to do is stay away from trouble and I will be fine.
For those that can use Aether on their weapons unlike me they need perfect control over the amount of Aura/ Mana they put on their external weapons.
Every weapon has a duration period that can be displayed through the system, even the clothes I am wearing have one.
If a person puts to much Aura/ Mana into a smaller weapon it will break, so that is the reason why most people take broad weapons like axes, swords and spears, where controlling is easy.
...like the saying stronger men are easy to control - I am not the one who said that.
If a person takes a gun as their second weapon they need to be extremely careful with what amount they put in, too much they will break it and too little they will be no different from normal bullets.
The only grading to external weapons is the durability mark shown by the system.
Back in the Central Plans I used a lot of weapons and there are weapons I wish were there but weren't, but even so I am going to take a weapon that goes with this body of mine.
I moved over to the Sword Tower and was greeted by a loving long ginger brown haired young woman at the entrance wearing a black formal suit.
"Good afternoon what prize range can you afford?"
...Money first just like how that rich nerd London set them to be.
"Good afternoon," I forced a smile, before saying, "Anything that cost 1 000 Merits and should be light, sharp, have a fine grip together with a good durability."
"Sure," The brown eyed girl smiled, "Would you like to see our catalog."
"Yes."
"Follow me."
I followed the young woman inside the tower that was filled with all types of swords protected under a glass shield that towered high up to the top.
"Take a seat at one of the tables, as I bring you the catalog."
I nodded and moved at the empty tables in the middle of the large tower, after all I was the only one there.
It didn't take long for the fair skinned young woman to return.
Bam–!
My eyes wide opened at the thing being called a catalog in front of me.
It was four times the size of a Physics text book. I turned my eyes and looked at the young lady who bought the book.
She is one feet taller than me, with a pair of beautiful long legs underneath her stockings, a slender figure, with a medium sized bust and a cute round shaped face.
"May I know your name?" I asked with a smile on my face.
"Mary."
"Yes."
"My name is Mary Arundel."
"Oh," I extended my hand to her, "I am Ace Moonfall."
...For a split second, I thought she was calling me.
she smiled and gladly shook hands with me, her hand had almost the same smoothness as mine and her medium length hair released the scent of peppermint.
"Can you help me look for the weapon used by all kings."
"Excuse me?" Mary had a shocked expression, as she looked at me.
"Oh sorry about that," I smiled, as I looked at the so called catalog, "I am looking for a rapier."
"Okay let me help you."
...I am not wrong every great king used a rapier look at King Arthur from the Legends he used the Excalibur which was indeed a rapier, - it is not like you ever saw it in real life before.
"Here is a perfect rapier for you."
I looked at the rapier that Mary was pointing at. It had a nicely curved red handle that was perfect for my small hands.
A forty inch straight thin silver double blade with shape edges, that makes it easy to run away with and a nice tip, perfect for killing the girl with the same name as my cousin.
"I will take it."
"Sure thing."
Mary stretched out her hand and the rapier slowly came towards her direction from the direction.
'Psychokinesis,' My eyes took a wide glare at the young lady, 'Did I write a soul weapon with such an an ability.'
...Amazing.
"Here is your rapier."
I took my phone and went to the 'inventory' app.

I pressed the last tab and a blue glow came from the flash light before zapping in the rapier.
"Thank you for shopping at our tower." Mary said, as she took a light bow.
...Attack now Ace.
"Mary would you like to grab a cup of coffee sometime." I said with a smile on my face.
"Huh?" Mary took are weird glance at me, "Are you asking me out?"
...What do you think? There is no law that forbids students to date the staff members, - that nerd London only wrote it because he had a crush on one of his teachers.
"It is just coffee."
Mary took a deep breath as she scanned me with her light brown eyes.
'He is a shrimp and not my type of guy. I will only go out with him, as an apology for thinking that he was a girl at first.'
"Okay," Mary had a serious face, "But only this once, no second time."
"Sure." I handed her my cellphone, before she started printing her number.
I moved out of the Sword Tower with a calm smile on my face.
'I will call her after three days.'
