TBATE - THE PRODIGY

W.K.IV

Halfway through packing I realized I had to get a sword before I went, I needed it to get stronger, so me and my dad went to the city, It had been a long time since I came here, everything was pretty much the same, the magic shops, elixir shops, and many more merchants. After a long walk we stopped at the biggest Sword shop I had ever seen, we went inside and were greeted by the staff, I handed them the coupon, they were shocked to see the huge amount but then suddenly remembered they had issued it only a few days ago.

"I didn't expect you for a while sir but no problem, give us a minute to gather our best collection in this price range" he said looking at my dad, of course he thought it was for my dad.

"Excuse me sir, I have come here today looking for a sword for my son, so please look accordingly to his body size" my father replied.

Damn it I after getting my growth spurt my body will be different and would be able to handle heavier swords, I can't waste money on a small sword right now, I very well know I can handle heavier sword due to the integration.

"Actually, show me sword for someone of my Dad's size only, I prefer my sword to be a bit above my age so I don't have to buy again and again" I asked, the shopkeeper definitely was surprised to see that I was about to buy a sword of such a hefty price.

"Su-sure sir, why don't you look around while I get the best swords for you." He replied.

I nodded and went right to look for swords, like a kid in a candy shop, the store was humongous so it was gonna take them a while to find the swords, it was perfect for me to check out as many sword as I liked, they were all placed in order, the best ones were in the front while the least powerful ones were in the back, the swords in the front were great but didn't interest me, it wasn't was I was looking for, I couldn't buy cheap for them to only end up breaking, after a little while I realized I had ended up way inside the storage room of the swords.

I saw that after the end of the collection there were sword for practice, basically wooden or blunt swords and sticks, weren't costly either, my eyes fell on a black stick type of a sword, it laid below with all the other broken practice weapons, I don't know why but it drew my attention more than anything, as I got near it a sensation in my core grew, a tickle, I didn't know what it was but it was something I never felt before, I picked up the stick, and tried to remove it from it's sheath, but nothing, I knew it could be removed as a teal colour line marked the end of the handle, I tried and tried but it didn't give, the sensation in my core only grew stronger.

It was very similar to when I activate that spell, I hadn't used it in a while but decided to give it a shot, I reached for my core and gave into the sensation, a warm feeling enveloped me as runes started etching all around my arms, up until my shoulders, and a small rune on my face, I tried pulling the sword now while pushing mana in it,  a blinding light appeared from the sword, and it slid out like it was coated with butter, a beautiful bright glowing teal blade came out and only got brighter, suddenly I felt a recoil similar to firing a shotgun of my world, as soon as the light disappeared, the itch in my core was gone and I was on the ground, I got up and picked up the sword, the teal blade was glowing but very lightly.

I noticed small writings on the sword, "W.K.IV" probably would have been the previous owner of the sword I thought, that's when I noticed the weight and the size of the sword had changed, so did it sheath's, it was perfect, perfectly balanced for my body, was this a sword only people with that ability can use, meaning there were other with these abilities, I still had a chance of learning more about it. The sword felt magical, I gave a few swings at the empty boxes and barrels around, it cut like butter, I didn't even coat it in mana yet it was so strong.

I returned with the stick in my hand and another high quality sword which I thought would be best for me in the long term, I saw the shopkeeper already set up a display of around 25 swords in front of my dad.
