"We have gone through a lot of weapon mastery classes with Zirrack so how have you guys not chosen a weapon?" Blake couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the rows of weapons they were to test out.
"The answer is quite simple. We didn't have much use for it." Brian answered as he checked out the weapons.
"What is the use of a weapon when I can make unlimited numbers dark siphon which can solidify." Castiel said. "As for Brian, his elements and roles are focused on defense so there isn't much need to attack."
"Any suggestions on what will fit their elements and fighting style?" Not having the time and energy to argue with them, Blake asked the system in order to save time.
[With fire and darkness element, Castiel can switch from being stealthy to explosive, so I recommend a dagger. It is a nice choice when it comes to assassinating people and even when in close-quarter combat it doesn't weigh you down.] The system said.
"I have always felt something for the dagger, but I felt it was kind of lacking in power." Castiel said as he dropped a chain sickle and picked up a dual dagger.
[As for Brian, since his elements are all about defense I suggest he goes for something with an offensive capability. The system said. [With that said we have to put his elements into consideration.]
[He needs a weapon that works with strength because of the physical boost granted by the earth element. Also, we need something that still allows him to make us of the dynamic nature of the water element.] The system explained.
"Are you suggesting I use gauntlets?" Brian asked with a raised brow as he dropped a heater shield and a great sword.
[You can always change if you don't like it, but I highly doubt that my analysis is ever wrong.] The system said with a smirk.
Ignoring the last part of the system's words Blake asked. "Why didn't I get such a detailed analysis?"
[Because a sword is a perfect weapon that compliments your explosive elements, so I didn't have to say anything.] The system rolled its eyes. [Also, from what I know about you. Even if you were meant to use a different weapon you wouldn't let Prince Bryon's gift go to waste.]
Blake couldn't deny the system's words, he knew he was stubborn so it was natural that he would force himself to use the katana no matter what.
"Let me try out other weapons before making a decision." Castiel said as he moved back to the weapon racks.
"Before you go for the chain sickle I would like to warn you because it wouldn't be a pleasant experience." Blake said to Castiel whose hands were just inches away from the chain sickle.
"How did you know that I was going for it?" Castiel asked with a surprised expression.
"Because we have watched how cool it looks in movies." Having come from Earth where martial arts movies were revered, Blake would have done the same, or you can say he had already tested it.
"Before you ask how I know it is a bad experience, well I have tried it out." Blake said with a sheepish smile as he remembered how the system's barrier saved him from one of the blades that almost penetrated his skull.
After 10 minutes of trying out different weapons, Castiel and Brian went back to the weapons the system had suggested.
"Is there anything we should be looking out for when training with the weapons?" Castiel asked the system.
[You should be focused on training on your speed and close combat capabilities.] The system said. [As for Brian, the earth and water element compliments your lack of speed. So you should focus on your close combat capabilities and how to incorporate your elements with your fighting style in both offensive and defensive manners.]
"After purchasing the weapons and armor from the exchange store, we will head to the library to get books on fighting techniques." Blake said.
After they were done playing with the dual daggers and gauntlets, the trio left for the exchange store. Immediately he arrived at the exchange point, they went straight for one of the translucent orbs that contained the list of items.
With their hands on the same orb, they were able to see exactly the same items in stock. Their priority was the dual daggers and gauntlets, so they used the filter function.
'Thank the heavens I got Ebony and Ivory for free.' Blake thought.
They went straight for the 100k point mark because weapons were way more costly than armors. So if they wanted to find anything useful they had to spend a lot.
Luckily for them, Castiel and Brian hadn't made any expensive purchases from the 1st semester till now, so they had quite a lot to spend.
"Check this out." Castiel pointed at the dual dagger named Typhlosion.
[Name: Typhlosion.
Grade: High quality.
Item: Dual daggers.
Type: Elemental (fire).
Active Ability(s): spell channeling, Fiery Eruption.
Passive Ability(s): Fire amplifier.]
[Active ability(s):
Spell channeling: The user can channel (cast) fire-based spells through the daggers.
Fiery Eruption: While Typhlosion is in use, the cores of the dual daggers absorb fire energy from the environment and when full, the host will be able to release the stored mana in form of an explosion.]
[Passive Ability(s):
Fire amplifier: Power of fire-based spells channeled through the sword are doubled.]
"It is amazing and worth the price." Blake emphasized the last part.
They went on to check the list for better dual daggers at the 100k mark but they didn't find any, so they went over to the gauntlet section.
"Seems gauntlets aren't that popular." Brian said as he scrolled past the 110k point mark. He was feeling depressed because out of the 3 of them he had fewer points meaning if he spent too much on the gauntlets he would be getting mediocre armor.
"Take a look at this baby.." Blake drew their attention to a gauntlet name Seismic guard.
