103 Kusarigama

Yin Yu take out a map from his storage ring and run off after confirming the direction he needs to go to.

Some passing students greet him when they pass by him, receive a nod from Yin Yu, and get left behind by Yin Yu soon after.

Yin Yu keep walking at a fast pace, but he never runs as the school rule in his old world state student mustn't run in the hallway. He didn't know if this kind of rule exists in this world, but for safety reason, he decides to follow that rules and keep walking to his destination.

Yin Yu follow the direction of the map he read before, and it didn't take long for him to reach the Weapon Store, a place to buy weapon, place orders for a custom weapon, and lastly repairing weapon.

*Ling ling*

"Welcome."

The bell of the weapon store chime as Yin Yu entered the stores, greeted by a middle-aged man who's in the middle of refurbishing the store. There are all kinds of weapons in the store, even so, it's still little when Yin Yu compared it to the mountain of weapons he sees in the past.

"What do you want, kid?"

The store owner asks while putting and adjusting the position of the weapon he put. Not once has he give a glance to Yin Yu as he's focused on his current task.

"Can you fix my weapon?" Yin Yu took out a chain sickle out and put it on the counter.

The moment Yin Yu put his weapon on the table, the owner of the weapon store stopped his task in an instant and turned to look at the weapon he saw on the table.

"Hmm, what a weird weapon…looking at it, one can see how beat up it is, but it seems that you've been taking care of it dearly, why…even though it's merely a mortal equipment? Hmm…ah…I see…it's the very first weapon you accept when you're three years old…you have quite a brutal parents there, kid, but it seems that they also know that the faster you know, the faster you will improve…Still, this weapon is impressive…the one who make it must…"

The owner of the weapon store keep rambling on and on, but the more he said, the more Yin Yu becomes surprised that he start to think whether there's a hidden spy in his house. Even so, that stupid notion only passes by and Yin Yu didn't linger too much on it as he heard the weapon store owner rambling, which has also added some of his understanding on his own weapon.

"…what do you call this weapon kid?"

"Chain-sickle…"

"No…not the weapon type, but the name…there must be a name right?"

"Kusarigama."

As soon as that name get out from his mouth, a sense of shame start to flood Yin Yu as that name is Chain-sickle! Just with other languages! He has accidentally said that name because his mother mentioned that to him with pride before…and now it's his time to mention that with shame.

"Kusarigama…what a weird name…but somehow powerful…"

The weapon store owner starts rambling again with amazement and then turn to look at Yin Yu again.

"From the look of it…there's a period where you didn't use this weapon. You have some other weapon like this, right? Show me…"

Yin Yu unconsciously took out his other chain-sickle and gave it to the weapon store owner to look at. For which another round of rambling starts again.

"This chain is full of spike then it must be used for…then this weight …from the looks of it, it has killed a lot of ...this must be quite a killing weapon."

The rambling starts again then with eyes full of determination, he looks at Yin Yu and asks him a question.

"The reason you want me to fix your first weapon is that it's precious but other than that, it's safe to use against other students no? You didn't want to hurt human with your second weapon because it's such a deadly weapon, even so, traces of it used on beasts is apparent which means you have slaughtered a lot of them with this…"

"Then kid…if someone will gladly improve your weapon, what kind of improvement do you want it to be?"

The weapon shop owner looks at Yin Yu seriously, for which Yin Yu replied without any hesitation.

"I want the spike in my chain sickle can appear and hide itself as I wish, I want each piece of the chains to have an ability to spin with a high speed, I want the chain sickle to have the ability to repair itself, I want the chain sickle to be…"

"Ok, stop…I get what you want…although it's hard to do, it's not impossible…You come here to get your weapon repaired right? How about I repair your weapon and upgrade the other chain-sickle like what you wish for as thanks, I'll give you friend discount since you show me your weapon and make the prices as cheap as 500 contribution points, of course, you can pay later, considering you're just a first year. How about it? Do we have a deal?"

"Deal!"

Yin Yu didn't think twice and immediately agreed to it, which makes the weapon store owner smile and take a piece of paper from his storage rings and put it in front of Yin Yu.

"Sign on here, and although there's no deadline, you need to pay it at least before you graduated."

" I will pay now!"

"Kid, you need to sa…"

"How can I have money on my pocket, but debt on my minds!? I don't need to save, I'll pay it!"

"Even if you have, you don't need to…"

"I'll pay!"

"You can pay la…"

"I'll pay now!"

The weapon store owner looks at Yin Yu face which is brimming with seriousness and some lingering fears. he wonders why Yin Yu feared debt so much. Is it because he has got scammed before? Is it because he has experience debt with interest? Or is it because of his parents teaching, but shook his head later on as thinking too deeply wouldn't do any good.

He takes Yin Yu badge to the counter for a while and returns the badge after he finished the process.

"Alright, here…I'll finish it in 3 days, so don't forget and come to take it ok?"

"Thank you very much!"

With that, Yin Yu bow and return to his classroom.
