Chapter 6 - Chapter 4: Preparations.

Lilith wakes up in the morning and finds herself alone on my bed.

"Mmhm..."

"Niente..."

"Where are youu?"

Her voice echoes throught my mind, it's sleepy and almost innocent for a moment.

I'm sitting at my desk wearing some goggles on my gloomy eyes.

"Its 4 AM..."

"Why are you up so earlyy?"

"And what are you doing?"

I look over at the bed.

"I'm preparing myself to use your power without being caught."

"Huuh?"

"Just sleep Lilith, you'll see what I'm talking about soon enough."

"Fine..."

I turn around as I hear her voice.

"Now that I think about it, I haven't seen Lilith in like a month."

"Anways..."

I turn around and look at the desk.

There are 10 rings made out of copper lying on the desk, with each one having a small white empty mana stone in it.

"The rings are done... now the dagger."

I take out an iron dagger from a drawer. An mischevious smile visits my eyes as i start to use compressed fire magic to melt it.

"What am I doing?"

"I'm just making undetectable equipment."

"Its simple!"

"I'll just tell Lilith to put her mana into the rings, and then into the dagger."

"It will be undetectable, but if anyone will be suspecting anything, the rings will break after a single use."

"Its the most genius idea I've ever came up with."

"I'm gonna become a Holy Knight in no time!"

"Maybe even..."

"Maybe even with Lilith's power..."

"Maybe I will become one of The Eleven..."

A gloomy, but fascinated smile appears on my face.

I look down at the daggers blade that has already melted a little, I reach towards a purse on my desk and take out a couple of white empty mana stones.

Emi walks into the room, but to her surprise I ignore her.

"Meow"

"Meow"

She starts to run against my legs, but I push her away with my leg.

"Go away you stupid cat, you're interrupting me!"

I scream at her.

"Meow..."

Emi seems to be sad and she slowly walks out of the room with her ears down.

"Damn cat..."

I start to carefully put the mana stones into the melted iron, using tweezers to not burn my skin.

"One..."

"Two..."

"Three..."

"Four..."

"Five..."

"Six..."

"Seven..."

After putting the stones in, I use some water and air magic to let the dagger cool down, and return to its original form, but now with the stones inside.

I lean back on the chair and push the goggles off my eyes onto the forehead.

I look up and a drop of sweat falls from my nose.

"Now I'll just wait until any tournament that can rise my rank to be announced."

"In total..."

I look at the rings and the dagger.

"I can use rings for ten spells... and the dagger will last only 7 enhances..."

"I don't have any more money..."

"But..."

"That should be enough!"

"Hah... I have the win in my pocket!"

"I will not take any risks!"

"The last thing I need to do now is wait."

I look at the time.

"4:47 AM huh?"

"The dagger will return to its normal state in like a hour."

I take the goggles off and put them on the desk.

I stand up from the chair and I walk over to the bed, I lie down on it and imiedatly feel Lilith's arms around my neck.

"Mine~"

Her voice echoes throught my mind.

I close my eyes and I slowly start to fall asleep.

Lilith's caressing just speeds up the process.
