After the announcement for another graduation exams, Renji and the others that passed went to Eiji and Lime's table.
"Hey guys! We want to have a celebration for our graduation after this!
All of us that passed, even Newark is coming aside from you two, so you guys wanna join?!"
"Hmm.."
Lime hesitantly thought then she looked at Eiji.
"Hmm.. I'll go!"
Eiji accepted the offer.
If nothing goes wrong, they might not see each other that much, as they would be busy in their respective departments.
"Good!! How about you Lime?!"
Renji asked Lime at the side.
"Well... I guess I'll go too, but I won't be there for too long though!"
Lime said sadly.
Renji and Eiji understood her circumstances so they nodded.
"Okay! That's fine too! Let's meet at the BBQ station beside the stadium last tournament!
Maila's family actually owns that restaurant! It's one of the most famous BBQ station in this city!
Let's meet in lunch time!"
After that Renji went back to his other friends and told them his news.
Eiji looked at Lime.
"Well, let's go home for now then, let's meet later!"
Eiji smiled at her, to which smiled back at him sweetly.
"Hmm!!! See you later Eiji!"
Both of them then left the school.
That was how the last day of their shool life ended.
---
Eiji went back to his dorm.
Now that he has graduated, he only has one week before he has to leave the Dormitories and look for a new place to stay.
He actually doesn't have any problems with this as his master have already told him to live with him.
His master Muri was living alone with a good two floored house. This was the house of his parents and he was alone living here since they died.
Now Eiji would also live in there, he had actually been there a couple of times and even slept there because sometimes he would get too injured when he goes to the forest or when he trains too much.
Eiji really felt indebted to his master.
Eiji arrived at his dorm.
He had already packed all his stuff and was planning on going to his master's house after the school, but it seemed like he'd have to do that after the celebration.
----
It was now around eleven, Eiji would now go to the BBQ station but first he looked at the nagagi, the sword and the brooch.
He wants to try them on now!
Eiji took off the shirt he's wearing.
Leaving behind a chainmail that was given to him by his master a few years back.
As for his black pants, there was no need to take them off.
He doesn't want to be one of those old types of swordsmen that wants to emulate the past swordsmen that only has underwear beneath the Nagagi or maybe even nothing.
And besides it's the new era, there were even those that uses the nagagi as a cape or just straight up tie the robe around their belts!
Eiji looked at himself.
'Hmm!!'
He silently nodded. The nagagi was a bit bigger, but it functions like a robe so you can tie it up around your belt or you can let it flow out, Eiji ties it up as it would hinder his style of using his Quick Draw technique.
He put on the brooch that has the Kingdom's logo on his right chest.
Lastly, he tied the sword belt first then looked at the sword that his master gave him.
It was a standard katana, but was colored in all black. He felt it was heavy but maybe it was because he was used to the weight of the wooden katana and was now using a real one.
*Ziinng!!
He unsheathed the katana and saw the silvery blade in it.
It was a beautiful blade. Although there were some scratches here and there, there weren't any chips on the sharp edge itself.
His master took care of the katana despite not using it for a few years.
As he appreciated the katana, he saw that there was a word written in small letters carved near the hilth of the katana.
" Yūrei !?? Ghost?!"
Eiji looked at the sword again and said.
"So your name is Yūrei huh? Well let's be friends from now on!"
Eiji smiled happily as he sheathed the katana back and tied it up in his sword belt.
He looked at the two envelopes that was given to him.
One envelope has the money for the tournament, while the other was the letter of invitations from the departments.
Eiji decided not to look at it first and just read it after he moves in with his master later.
He left the dormitory as took out some money and hid both the invitation letter and the prize money, and then walk towards the place his friends told him.
*End Of Chapter.
