The next day passed, everyone gathered at the beach and discussed which weapons they should entrust to each other.

"First of all, I will drop out all the weapons, so you guys can choose the one suitable for yourself, then we will talk about what happens next."

Wu Jianhao dropped all the weapons that he got from the battle from his own storage to the guild's storage space. As everyone looked around for any preferable weapons, they also noticed each weapon contained one skill from their previous owner, however, the obvious setback from a skill steal was that the skill level was set back to zero, so it did not matter if they had the skill now or not. They needed more experience points to upgrade the skill.

After a while, everyone had chosen their weapons. Chan Weiting got himself a two-handed sword, a really big claymore that can be used as a shield. When everyone wondered if he could really carry it around, Chan Weiting lifted it up with one hand and swung it twice before he put it back to his own storage space.

"Surprisingly it felt like a feather. I didn't need to use any strength at all. What did you guys get?"

Everyone took out their chosen weapons and showed it to each other. As the Fighter, Cai Xukun got himself a long spear, seemingly longer than his basic spear. Fan Chengcheng held a longsword next to him, raised an eyebrow at Cai Xukun, then said.

"Let me take a guess, you chose a longer spear because you are scared of getting hurt?!"

"... Your sword is longer too!"

"It is! But yours is a 'veeery' longer spear! Are you sure it wouldn't be a hindrance instead of preventing you from getting hurt?"

Fan Chengcheng smirked, teased Cai Xukun as he emphasized the word. Cai Xukun felt a little embarrassed from the teasing so he retracted his weapon away from everyone's view because he did not want others to think of him as a coward who picked a longer weapon to avoid getting injure, even though it was the truth; however, it was too late since everyone had witnessed the whole scene of Fan Chengcheng teasing Cai Xukun and found it funny so they laughed.

Everyone's attention averted to Bruno Modesto, the last Fighter, also the youngest of the group. Bruno Modesto felt the gazed from everyone, he lifted up his weapon, it was a rapier. Before everyone could ask why he chose a rapier, he said.

"Although I look like this, I used to be a professional fencer."

Chan Weiting looked at Bruno Modesto in a pleasant surprise.

"Really? That sounded awesome! I know a little bit about fencing. Which fencing style did you practice?"

"I did train in three fencing styles, but I'm more familiar with Sabre."

"I see! That's why you choose a rapier."

Bruno Modesto nodded, he felt happy he could somehow prove that a kid like himself could be useful too.

Wu Jianhao and Xiao Zhan also took out their choices of weapons and surprised everyone. Wu Jianhao possessed an enormous sniper and Xiao Zhan's arms were held on a big rifle, which seemingly did not fit his gentle demeanor. The one who was the most speechless from Xiao Zhan's choice of weapon was Wang Yibo. He knew Xiao Zhan so well that he did not expect a gentle and peaceful Xiao Zhan would choose a rifle as a weapon. However, when Wang Yibo recalled the time at the lighthouse, Xiao Zhan had made many surprising decisions, unlike his usual self, which could be considered as heartless and cruel just like Susan Kunis had said. Wang Yibo doubted himself, probably he did not really know the real Xiao Zhan.
