I didn't had much time to stop and ask her about her back story. So I did what I can do right now. Thus, summoning my Naginata, I broke the weak chains which she's being confined by.
The slave closed her eyes as I drew out my Naginata fearing I would kill her. Paying no heeds to her thoughts, I freed her and tossed one of the Storage rings I stole as her compensation for the the hell she's been through.
Truthfully, that ring contained the least amount of UC ( Unity Credit ) I stole that only amounted to a mere hundred gold Unity Credits.
Opening her dull eyes and picking up the ring I just tossed, She looked at me with eyes full of hope as checked the ingredients within it.
" Get far away from this place and spend that money carefully. If you are smart your life will turn around. "
Her dull eyes slowly started brighten up as she released her pent up stress through tears.
" May *Sob *I know your name " As I was about to head out she asked my name to which I simply replied,
" Seeker. "
I left the seen after giving her my Alias. From the corner of my eyes, I saw her crying her heart out before weakly standing up and wiping the tears.
' I did the least I can do to help her. Now how she survives will be up to her ' I thought as I exited the hideout and went in to an alley near the area to change in to my academy uniform, Which I wore while coming to Tamriel.
…
It was about 4.30 in the afternoon. And currently I was roaming around the bustling city area of Tamriel. All around me I could see different types of shops trying to sell their goods to the passerby Elves and some tourists.
On my way across the streets I found a shop that sells weapons ranging from swords to even Scythes Which were on display inside glass boxes in front of the shop. In my life as Damian I always wanted to try out this weapon which is called a Kusarigama. It's basically a shorter version of a Scythe which has a chain attached to it. It's a two handed weapon. And now I finally have the luxury to afford it and train. But it'll have to wait until I find a suitable weapon art for it.
After admiring the weapons in the Glass boxes, I entered the weapon shop confidently. When doing business with someone, you must always be confident of what you want, so that they don't carry out the conversation and sell you something entirely different from what you came for.
The inside of the shop was entirely different from what it looked like from the out side. I felt like I was in a Museum rather than a shop. All around me I could see different sale assistants guiding some elves and also some humans while trying to convince them to buy something from their shop. And also there were neatly arranged glass boxes in rows which contained expensive weapon artifacts, Starting from the price of 100 GUC (Gold Unity Credit).
" Hello, Esteemed Customer, What would you like purchase today. " As soon as I entered the shop a male Elf with long silver hair and blue eyes asked me, while greeting me in an elegant manner.
" Show me your collection of Katanas, I would like to purchase one. A lower rank one will suffice for now. " I told him with confidence as I looked directly in to his eyes.
" This way sir. " He told me as he lead the way to the place where Katanas were presented.
" These here are the finest Katanas we have in the shop at the moment sir. " Nearing the section where they sells Katanas, the sales person said while showing them.
There were Katanas in different colors and each had different kinds of patterns carved in to there sheaths. And they were also graded in to different Ranks according to quality and the affinity of them.
While looking through the Katanas My eyes caught a black Katana and I felt as if I was drawn to it due to some strange reasons.
" Explain me the uses of that particular Katana. " I ordered the sales assistant like a true pro in business. Not gonna Lie but I low-key enjoy acting high and superior. May be it's due to the Nature of previous Avion.
" Yes sir. This one here is a C Rank Artifact which has the wind affinity hammered in to it by the exceptional blacksmith who created this. This also has an engraved skill which is called Owls Glide. If you are interested I can recommend other weapons which- "
" No need. I will buy this one. And also do you guys make custom made weapons? " I took an interest in this Katana. so I refrained from hearing the recommendations of the sales assistant and directly asked to purchase it while posing an another question.
" What-*Ahem*. I mean Thank you for taking an interest in this item esteemed customer. And yes we build custom made weapons. And we 100% guarantee about the privacy of your request. " For a moment he almost broke out of his perfect sales assistant character hearing me purchasing it without looking at other weapons. But he quickly composed himself.
' What's with this guy, he didn't even let me to introduce other weapons. *Tsk* This is why I hate dealing with rich kids. ' Sales assistant though as he led Avion to complete the deal.

Name - Hoot
Artifact - Katana
Rank - C
Attribute - Wind
Skill - Owls Glide (Low)
- An Owl is a fascinating nocturnal bird and one of the quietest flying bird species in the world. This Katana which is made by a feather of an elder Owl gives the wielder the power to Run silently in a world full noises, Thus greatly enhancing the percentage of surprise attacks on lower ranked Soldiers and etc. -
" Hmm. So this is the reason why I felt some kind of attachment to this Katana. It's because I also have an affinity for the wind element. Aside from that, this skill 'Owls Glide' will help me greatly in the future battles that I have yet to fight. "
I felt greatly satisfied by my purchase which I spent 500GUC on.
" All right. Now that I have my katana, my next destination will be the Global Bank. " I muttered to my self as I headed towards the direction of the bank. The fortune I stole is almost worth one hundred thousand Platinum coins which is an amount comparable to five hundred million Dollars in my previous life.
…
The banking process went smoothly thanks to my Family name Dragonhearts which I most definitely expected. Or else I would have been captured at the spot because of the fortune I just deposited. I even got a VVIP card because of my deposit hehe.
After I finished all the businesses I had to attend for the day. I went back to the hotel I was staying at. It was about six in the evening at the moment. But as soon as I neared the Hotel I was greeted with a welcoming sight of my fellow cadets. Not gonna lie, I am sure all the cadets from my class and even Professor Aurora was there to welcome me.
At times like this I feel so lucky to be classmates with them.
As if, *SIGH* from the looks of their angry eyes I am sure that I'm about to be subjected to their annoying battering for something I did. Well, can't help it, I guess I have a born gift to make people dislike me even without talking to them.
" Avion Dragonheart, What have you done? " The first one to speak was professor aurora as the crushing pressure of her Aura suddenly fell on me, forcing me to buckle my knees in front of all the cadets of my class.
