After Kiro split the wall apart,Roy was left dumbfounded. A metallic wall with lot's of weapons hanging came into view.
"These are the weapons reserved for the top heroes.Only we have access to this inventory,but to take one of them we need to register it by asking Edward. Also 2 weapons allowed per hero." Said Kiro.
"You naturally can only pick one. Since you aren't part of the top 10, Edward giving you even one didn't sit well with the some heroes. I'm sure you are smart enough to know why." Said Kori.
Roy was speechless not knowing what to say or do."Here pick one. Weapons have a grade aswell. Common,rare,epic, legendary and heaven rank. You can pick any weapon of the common to epic rank. Not a higher rarity weapon." Added Kiro
"Y-yes master." Said Roy and headed towards the inventory. He went towards the epic rank first,but didn't liked anything even after Kiro recommending them to him,then rare weapons. The same happened, he didn't like anything.
Kiro was left dumbfounded. He was just about to say something. "What about this one?" Asked Roy.
Holding out a Black and red katana. With a dragon made on it's hilt. He felt a weird sense of familiarity from this sword. As if he had used it before.
"This is just a normal katana. It can harness some mana and do a ability for that element. Only works for rank 1 spells and common elements. Not useful for you." Said Kiro hoping Roy doesn't pick this since it's useless.
Even after hearing that Roy didn't care,since his abilities to stop time, change the speed of his attacks,and reserve time were already overpowered,in addition to his newly added first space spell. Teleportation. All of these were rank 2 spells and reserving time was a rank 3 spell!!!.
Kiro waiting for Roy's answer expectantly and hopefully, but Roy destroyed his hopes. " I would like this katana." His voice echoed throughout the room.
"Are you sure kid,out of all the cool looking epic weapons you choose a rare weapon which's passive ability is absolutely useless to you." Said Kiro in frustration.
"That's precisely right teacher." Said Roy while smiling.
"Ugh, whatever you want. You can change it later when i beat your ass in training or when you get in a real fight." Said Kiro determine to change Roy's mind.
"Take your position for the spar." Said Kiro not trying to hide his intention of kicking Roy's ass.
"Would you ple-." He was cut of by Kiro rushing towards him. He instinctively put his katana up for guard and screamed "Time dialation."
Everything around him froze. Surprisingly even Kiro froze. Roy dashed his way towards Kiro manifesting 2 extra daggers hovering above his head. He wasn't going easy since Kiro asked him to.
And when he reached kiro's figure. He slashed the katana and the pushed the knives forward. The slash was connected and the knives tore Kiro's skin.
Then Roy deactivated his ability. When he deactivated his ability he felt a blade touching his neck and a slight cut on his neck. The Kiro Infront him was turned into mist.
"Nice try but I cloned myself the second the spar started,and i hide it by camouflaging with the surroundings. Why so you think I'm stronger than Wanqui,the time master. I can counter most of his abilities." Said Kiro
"You should use some different spells which rely on your combat abilities,for example the time reverend,the one Edward gave you in the car. You can either boost your speed or decrease it. I mean it's a rank two spell and it's better for you to train in hand to hand combat and gain experience." Lectured Kiro.
After this they went to training,as Kiro taught Roy basic sword movement and gave him movements to practice. Roy was slowly getting better but he wasn't even considered a beginner yet.
After training Roy went back to his room to memories the abilities and explore his Nano chip. He got into his room and took out the scrolls from his newly gotten spatial ring. Well if he had some manipulation of the space element he wouldn't need a ring.
As he turned his nano chip on by pressing it. He received a notification. 'Do not learn the illusion ability. We will leave everything related to illusion in the last month of your 6 months training. The number of spells learned will be 3 for each element.' he received the message from Edward.
After reading this message he went to add John and Ronald as he promised them he would once he got his nano chip.
As he sent the request,he went to read the scrolls. He first read the Time reverend ability then time reversal. He understood time reverend but he was surprised to know that he couldn't remember the time reversal ability. No matter how hard he tried.
He found this very strange. He thought since it was a rank 3 ability,it would be harder to learn. Albeit to his thoughts that was not the reason. After this he learned the teleportation ability.
It was around 10 am at this point and He was going down to eat his breakfast. Along the way he was greeted by the maids doing their daily jobs. He entered the dinning room and behold he say Kiro munching again.
He ignored this and went to his seat. This time there were no servants standing since Roy told them not to,he felt bad eating Infront of them.
"Kid let me know when you learn those spells. After reaching beginner mastery with the sword we will learn how to implement and utilise the katana with your abilities. Also you might have heard this from Edward, you will be reaching advanced level of mastery with your sword and learn three abilities for space and time element. And for illusion we will keep the last two months so you can learn all 5 abilities for it and reach some manipulation of the element." Said Kiro with a mouthful of food.
" Umm,Sir Edward said one month not 2." Said Roy. "Hmm, change of plans, I'll tell him about it." Said Kiro not caring about Edwards opinion or shamelessly using his name to make Roy do something.
After eating their breakfast,Roy went to train some more while Kiro had to go for a important mission. When he went in the training room and took out is sword,he felt the same sense of familiarity and nostalgia.
"Wait wha- is this." He said as he saw a screen materialize Infront of him.
<The savours Katana>
Rank: heaven(above legendary)
Abilities: -Can utilise neutral mana and turn it into any mana of choice.
-Can make attacks overpowering or standing equal against offensive rank 3 abilities.
-?????
-??????
-???????
Rest abilities are unknown. No data found on how to unlock them.
He was stunned after reading this. He didn't know such a weapon could exist. The name of the weapon sounded so familiar yet so distant.
Well he was about to let go of the katana,then suddenly he fainted. And streams of information flooded his mind. It was information about the katana arts. It was made out of 3 movements.
1rst movement: 3 invisible slashes, capable of destroying any rank 2 defence spell or offence spell.
2nd movement: 10 invisible slashes capable of destroying any rank 3 defence or offence spell.
3rd movement: 50 invisible slashes capable of destroying anything in existence.
He had received all the needed information to master the 1st movement. Although the for the rest all he received was ' when the time is right'.
After that he started training the 1st movement all the way from how to position himself to slashed his sword many times.
He also was on the brink of 3rd level of the Sacred cultivation technique. His range increased to 2 km and he could materialize full replica of swords and bigger objects,also their speed almost reached the sound barrier.
Time stamp. 2 months later.
"Kid you really have improved alot. You have forced me to used 30 percent of my power. Yet you are just Silver middle stage." Said Kiro as there was a sweat drop on his forehead.
In the past 2 months, Roy had managed to reach the final level of the first stage of the sacred cultivation technique. And he had learned the first movement of the Katana art, although he was still away from it's mastery since he would tire out after using it once. He also had learned 2 time spells with the exception of time reversal and he had learned teleportation. Today was the day that he was given a 2 new space spells.
Although he was given one month for it,Kiro asked Edward to extend the deadline for one more month since Roy needs to familiarize himself with the new Changes.
Kiro thought it was impressive enough for Roy to kearn all these spells in the span of one month and even have some mastery over them.
What if he knew that Roy learned these spells the second day he got them.
"Kid,go and have some breakfast. We will be going on the academy tour." Said Kiro as Roy was limping to stand up.
