"Woah!!!" Alaric's eyes gazed in wonder, a week had passed since, and the blade looked stunning... Carved, and placed in the right places, the bone was used as the handle and was LONG in size, almost half of his forearm, the large blade sharp, the black color fits the lapis used in the metal, and the edges were light grey and sharp to the touch, a gem was placed at the end of the handle, the "V" shaped guard pointing up into the blade with the two ends pointing down swords the handle, Alaric didn't think he'd wield such a sword with one hand, as he swings it, amazed by how amazing it feels!

"Now, I may not have perfected the young one, but its slashes are no joke, able to create a shiver if it hits. It'll work fine with that Enhancement Charm of yours." The dwarf explained the boy placed the charm on his new blade, and the light blue marks glowed just slightly, fueled by the cold of the bone used,

"T-This is perfect... Thank you very much!" Alaric thanked him, as the dwarf only had one word to say to him,

"Take care of Frostbite for me, she's a special one!" They said, and Alaric was odd.

He also got news from Rudeus! He said he'd be heading to some other towns to find their mother, which was nice to know he was doing alright. But something troubled him... His letter was not as cheery or happy as Alaric expected... But, hey, at least he's alive and well.

"Guess having natural talent at magic pays off..." Alaric thinks, as outside of the university he is seen... Well...

A bunch of Rock Eagles are seen on the ground. 10 in total, a decent 5 Gold Coins. Nowadays he gets a bunch of them, thanks to his exploits.

"That blade of yours looks so cool!" June is seen beside him, as August is seen cutting up the eagles.

"June, leave him alone, he is doing that inner monologuing again," August explained, as Alaric is seen organizing the skins of the buffalos, the snow bringing very dangerous beasts, who migrate here and there and mainly eat meat, they're deadly to anything who is or isn't a adventurer.

"Hm." Alaric thinks of steaks... But he also thinks of ramen noodles... As much as the food tastes HORRIBLE compared to his modern life, he can at least give it some flavor.

...

...

...

"HMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!" June closes her eyes in awe, the steaks coming out delicious, as August bites into his with more dignity,

"We appreciate the lunch, Alaric. We're sorry we haven't been able to join you in the past weeks, but it seems you've grown on your own, speaking as your blade is using the bone of a White Dragon." August explained, noticing the shivering feeling the Frostbite gave off. He was like a knight of the snow, a legend, but in reality, he is here!

"That is a decent 1 Gold Coin, but if you wish, I can split it with some Silver Coins," Adam explained, the boy tilting his head,

"Don't you get extra Silver Coins for selling the meat?" August wondered, as Adam chuckled,

"They usually store the meat, but since getting them for myself, I've been able to make more money... So yes, I get extra Silver Coins, but I tend to use it to buy or commission the creation of different spices." Adam explained, that most of the time, his money was being used for something else. Most of his savings are savings, and he sometimes has enough to splurge.

If he counted his savings, he'd have almost 75 Gold Coins and around 150 Silver Coins.

Maybe he might fund a restaurant with this money... Yeah... Made a life in Asura as there he had access to various animals to hunt... With the money he might be able to support his entire family if they're found alive and well...
