"Finally..."

Raven mumbled as soon as he got back in his dorm, Ruby brought him there and is still with him.

"Are you okay Raven?"

Keara asked, she's unsurprisingly already in Raven's dorm waiting when Levina, Ruby, and Raven arrived.

"I'm fine."

Swoosh-

Raven then replied as he started transforming back to his original body.

"Oh my..."

"Oh..."

"That's some damn nice glowup."

Levina, Keara, and Ruby respectively weakly muttered when they saw Raven's new appearance.

They can't help but blush, even Ruby!

They just know about Raven's new appearance from the news Kendy brought to Ruby, and Ruby told it to Levina and Keara.

There are also a lot of students gossiping and spreading rumors about it so it's hard to miss the news.

So they know that Raven revealed his true appearance(?).

'But we didn't know he was this handsome...!'

Ruby, Keara, and Levina thought in unison.

"I thought you're gonna stay and talk with Aoi and Adelle longer earlier."

Snapping out the 3 from awe and daze was Raven's words that were aimed at Ruby.

Ruby got startled a little but she immediately regained her calm.

"Well, I don't like them being touchy with you so I left."

Then Ruby replied teasingly, which is why Raven didn't notice that she's actually telling the truth.

"Hey, I wasn't able to touch you even once when you were in that furry form!"

Then Levina, who's in her humanoid form, exclaimed, she felt wronged for some reason.

Ruby sent a smirk to Levina.

While Keara just smiled awkwardly to Levina when she said that.

"I will let you touch me the next time I transform into that again."

Raven, who have no energy to argue with anyone at the moment, just promised that to Levina.

"Hmph... Fine."

Which is a good strategy as Levina didn't complain anymore and just puffed her cheeks as a form of pouting.

Though, Raven already have a solution to make her stop pouting completely.

He stood up and headed to the kitchen area.

And Keara, Levina, and Ruby followed him like baby ducklings following their mother out of habit and curiosity.

"Who wants to eat?"

Raven then asked in a casual tone.

"Meeeeee!!!"

Levina immediately replied.

"Then me too please."

"Me too."

Then Ruby and Keara followed.

"Then someone please prepare the table."

Raven said.

"I'll do it."

"I'll help too!"

And Keara immediately volunteered while Levina decided to help.

"Thanks you two."

Raven muttered and smiled at the 2, Keara and Levina then smiled back and started preparing the table for them to eat on.

When only Ruby was left watching Raven, Raven opened his mouth.

"I'm sorry for asking you a lot of things but... Are you done with the favor I asked you?"

He asked Ruby in an embarrassed manner.

Ruby shrugged her shoulders before replying.

"That's not even a favor as you paid me even when I told you that you don't need to."

She stated.

"I just feel uncomfortable about the thought of not paying someone after making them work hard."

Raven then replied to her.

Ruby just stared at Raven for a couple of seconds before smiling and opening her mouth.

"Anyway, I'm done with your request. And that's not all, there are deliveries for you too."

Swoosh-

After saying all of that, Ruby didn't let Raven celebrate nor even reply to her news as she immediately took out a sword and a gun from her spatial storage.

Ruby's spatial storage is in a form of golden bracelet on her right wrist.

"!"

Raven's eyes then widened after seeing the sword and gun in Ruby's hands.

"Finally!"

Raven exclaimed, he was about to run toward Ruby, but then he remembered he was cooking!

So with an unsatisfied frown, Raven finished cooking first.

'Ruby and my weapons wouldn't run away from me. But the food I'm cooking might go bad if I left it.'

He inwardly grumbled.

And Ruby couldn't help but chuckle at Raven's behavior and just continued to watch him cook.

After Raven finished cooking, because he doesn't want to make the others wait.

Raven decided to set aside his curiosity about his weapons and Ruby's news for a while and started eating with the girls.

***

[Raven's POV]

Friday, <9:00 P.M>.

"Velcro came and gave this to me, saying he doesn't want to face you..."

Ruby, who is in front of me stated.

"Well, if I were him, I wouldn't want to face the kid who kicked my ass either."

I shrugged and casually looked at the items in Ruby's hands.

In her hands are a plain black handgun and a sheathed katana.

The sheath of the katana is obsidian black and embroidered by white realistic lightnings on both sides.

Thump- Thump-

My heart started beating faster as I saw that. And it got worse as my body heated up after seeing the handle.

It's dark red and have white crescent moon embroidered on both side!

Thump- Thump-

I'm getting excited like a kid who is getting his new toys!

""Pfft-!""

Seeing me like that, Ruby, and Levina both laughed at me.

That's when I noticed that they are looking at me, Keara didn't laugh but is just smiling awkwardly.

"Ehem..."

I immediately calmed myself down and faked a cough to shrug my embarrassment off.

"Well, If you may..."

Then without further ado, I took the katana from Ruby's grasp. I placed it to the left side of my waist.

But I remembered I have no sword holster at the moment, so I made on myself by using the [Celestria].

Swoosh-

Then after attaching the katana to my waist, I next took the [Nyx] from Ruby.

Ruby, Levina, and Keara are just looking at me with anticipation as if they're excited at my new equipment too.

Ruby, Keara, and of course Levina knows that I have an appraisal skill, and a high level at that.

So they want to know the details of my weapons.

And because I trust them, and they trust me too, I didn't decline to their request.

"Appraise."

I muttered, pretending to activate a skill.

'Hey system! Appraise!'

But that's what I have in mind.

[Okay okay... I want to tell that you look like a child, but not gonna lie, I want to see the descriptions of your upgraded and new weapon too.]

The system then honestly said before projecting [Nyx]'s new description.

=====

[Nyx]

-The last product of the greatest unnamed gunsmith that ever lived and it was upgraded by the heir of The God of Fire and Metalworking.

-Increase all of its capabilities and effectiveness by 40%.

-Have a passive skill <Concealed Shots>

<Concealed Shots>

-Lessen the sound and spark of the gun produces when shooting.

-Unique skill <Elemental Bullet>

<Elemental Bullet>

-Inject any elemental attribute to bullet.

-Can add up to 3 elements at the same time.

=====

"Fuck..."

I didn't curse out of disappointment, I cursed out of lack of words to say.

Just seeing the 40% buff is enough to make me happy!

But after seeing that the skill <Magic Bullet> of the [Nyx] turned into <Elemental Bullet> was just overkill that made me speechless.

And after reading the description of the skill <Elemental Bullet> almost made my heart stop.

My hand that's holding the [Nyx] trembled a little.

I'm not that much of a materialistic person. I can live with just Wi-Fi, phone, and food without any problem.

I know that will change over time now that I possess a lot of money and will have more in the future. Probably.

Currently, I can confidently say that I'm not materialistic.

But after seeing the [Nyx]'s description made me greedy enough to slap Blake for no apparent reason a hundred... No, a thousand times just for this gun!

"Raven, there's also a letter. Here."

Snapping me out of my daze was Ruby's sweet and alluring voice.

Looking at her, Ruby is holding a paper and her hand was extended to me.

"Oh, thanks"

I muttered then took the letter from Ruby's hand.

And I immediately started reading it.

=====

Hello Raven, I had put my all in upgrading your [Nyx], but I don't really know much about gunsmithing as it's not popular anymore after mana and magical materials started popping out.

But all I can tell that that gun is definitely made by someone great's hard work and effort, so I tried my best in upgrading it.

And now, [Nyx] has now enough firepower to pierce through <C> rank awakeners' tough skins and armors!

I'm pretty proud of the result!

.....

...

=====

I've only read until that part as I shifted my eyes back to [Nyx].

"Fucking awesome..."

I muttered weakly as a satisfied smile crept up on my face.

Then I turned my attention back to the letter in my hand.

I started reading it with my mind so Levina can know the content too and tell it to Ruby and Keara.

'[Then, the next is the sword...]'

I glanced at the sheathed katana in my waist.

'[I was able to identify the mysterious material you brought to me with the help of my skill, <Vulcan's Heir>...]'

I started paying more attention to the letter as those words caught my interest.

'[It was a mineral from the moon of a planet called 'Zarall', and I have no idea what and where that planets is.]'

'[But after being Vulcan's heir, I inherited a lot of informations about minerals and smithing, and that Vulcan god knows a lot about that mineral.]'

My brows furrowed after reading that and my mind got complicated, but I still continued reading anyway.

'[The material is sturdy, so sturdy that it can be called a legendary material that only exits in myths!]'

After reading that part, I started slowly unsheathing the sword in my waist as I read Tyrone's words in the letter.

'[Anyway, the sword was the best thing I made and it will probably remain as that, it has amazing abilities and capabilities!]'

'[I made it while imagining you, it's owner!]'

'[A sword that will grow alongside you.]'

'[A sword named after your taste.]'

'[A sword that will cut every enemy you encounter.]

'[And a sword made just for you...]'

'[The name of that sword is–]'

Swoosh–

It was then that I completed pulled the sword out of its sheath.

Its pure black and beautiful blade that seems to destroy anything was revealed, making every strand of my hair to stand up as a chilling sensation crept up to me.

=====

[Emmeranne]

-Made by the heir of God of Fire and Metalworking.

-It's the 1st thing that was made by the heir after being the successor. Increase all of the weapon's skills and abilities by 25%.

-The heir considered this sword as their best masterpiece. Increase all of the sword's abilities and capabilities by 30%.

-This sword was made with a huge amount of concentration, effort, and time. Increase the sword's mana, magic, and element capability by 25%.

-Turn any part of the sword into a shadow that can pass through anything.

-Have a unique skill <Partner For Life>.

-This sword is currently ownerless, inject mana to be its owner, then after that, no one else will be able to use the sword other than you!

=====

With my eyes still on the sword's description.

"Emmeranne, The Shadow Blade of the Dark Moon..."

I blankly muttered.
