3 Starting out

I looked at her, she didn't seem to be lying but I couldn't shake the uneasyness coming from somewhere.

Anyway not my place to question, moreover the other three were starting to keep their distance from me since yesterday.

Seems like they haven't been exposed to violence in their lives.

I looked behind me there were about five people, a mage, an Assasin, martial artist and the axe warrior.

Overall it was a party inclined to damage dealing since there wasn't a Tank.

But the overall composition didn't feel that off considering the others were similarly placed.

With a majority of the women entering Motoyasu's Party, while Itsuki's party was mostly normal.

With Naofumi getting the beauty, who felt irritating to my eyes.

The king dismissed us allowing us to leave with our parties, as i immeditely noticed Naofumi being led out as I turned to my party memebers.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Adric" I introduced myself as I saw the assasin step up.

"My name is Welt, its an honour to meet you Sir hero! This is Tersia" He said introducing the mage who bowed.

"Nice to meet you" I replied as Tersia smiled in reply, he didn't seem to be the talkitive type.

"I am Farrie, nice to meet you!!" the green haired girl seemed to be the energetic type, as she shook my hand.

"And lastly this idiot, Bakta" Welt spoke introducing the big guy who was about to introduce himself.

"Want to Die, pipsqueak!" the man growled as Welt clicked his tounge.

"I could say the same to you..." Welt replied, only for both of them to get a punch in the head by Farrie.

"Stop behaving like idiots, you are in front of sir hero" she spoke as both of them rubbed their heads.

"I apolegise, for these idiots" she added.

"Its fine I don't mind it, but I think we should go somewhere more comfertable since there are a lot of things I want to ask you." I spoke as they nodded.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

We were strolling through the market currently, heading for a blacksmith since I wanted some armour, since I didn't have mine when I was summoned here.

Bakta had recommened it as we would need to use some of the allowance given by the king.

Along the way I had asked a lot of things, mostly related to the world.

There were five countries here, Melromac the biggest country, where we were currently,

Faubery the technologically advanced and the most powerful nation,

Siltvelt country of the demi humans, I could see some digust on Tersia and welt face while Bakta and Farrie remained normal when talking about it seems like things were not normal between these two.

Then was the nation of Shieldfreeden a republic of sorts

and lastly Zenotable the country of mercenaries.

There were also different types of demi humans, apart form the normal humans that were present in this world.

Ernhard's Smithy

We were standing outside a two story shop as I could smell the metal even outside, we entered to find Naofumi and Myne in there too

Naofumi was wearing a brown chain mail, compeletly gone into the adventurer mode, good for him I guess.

As I looked at Myne something about her was bugging me but I couldn't put a finger on it.

"Ah Sir Sword hero, you are here too!" Myne greeted them as I tried to put those feelings down she hadn't done anything so being rude right from the start would be idiotic.

"Yes I needed to gear up before we started levelng up" I replied as she nodded, but I caught her glancing the other three at the side who seemed to avoid her eyes.....are they scared of her?

I didn't show anything as Naofumi smiled at me, but didn't say much seems like he was still uncomfertable with yesterday night I am quite fine with it.

They left as I caught Myne pass the others a look to which they slowly nodded, as they both left I went towards the bald blacksmith, Ernhard I presume.

"So you are, the sword hero! seems like my business would be good in the coming days" He spoke extending his hand.

"Ernhard"

"Adric, Nice to meet you"

"So tell me what can I do for you?" He asked as I had felt a very calm feeling from him, he seemed like a good guy.

"Some armour preferably light and cheap, clothes, and a good sword." I said as he seemed to think about it.

"I won't be able to do something custom but seeing that you need it now, I can put together some leather armour, same for the sword you can choose from those on display they are some of my best creations right now." He said pointing at the swords on display.

"Sir hero we will be outside," Farrie said leaving with the others as I started going through the swords.

I chanelled some mana through my ears concentrating as the voices around grew louder,

'You are fucking Idiot Welt, you are the one who blabbered about this blacksmith, and now we ran into the princess.' I heard Tersia's voice, he sounded irritated and on a short fuse, as I heard Bakta.

'Fucking Idiot, don't you know we need to keep him under control and use the boost that being in the heores party gives us. From what I have seen he is cautious so we will need to keep our act together' So unlike what I thought this guy was quite smart.

So Myne was the princess, and the heores party gets a boost.

Seems like I will need to cut off some rotten parts soon.

As nothing came useful from listening to them except them cursing each other.

I stopped it and started going throough the swords eventually landing on a smiple sword design nothing too fancy about four feet long a circular leather grip.

|Copy weapon - Y/N|

The notification popped up as I clicked yes, Immedietly the holy sword changed into a replica of the one I was holding.

"Hey! What's that?" I heard Ernhard's voice as he came to look over since I was holding the same sword as the one he crafted.

"Uh..this it seems like I can copy the swords that I pick up" I replied still seeing this was odd.

Erhard looked at me, "So like does it store it or is it temporary?"

"I dont know about that one"

"Uhh, so are you going to pay for it?"

"Yeah yeah, don't worry I wanted to buy this one anyway" I replied as he seemed satisfied, as he went back to getting me my armour.

Not gonna lie. Right now I wanted to copy every sword here, but for some reason it felt wrong. Since seeing the quality of these it was obvious that he had put a lot of effort in them.

Even back on earth there were only a few who could reach this skill level.

As I went back Erhard fixed me with, Some basic armour with some metal shouder and arm guards boots and extra clothes everything cameout be quite expensive.

"Uh, one more thing, do you have an eye patch?"

"Yes I do, what type do you want?"

"Overhead dark colour please."

"Alright anything else?" he asked handing it out to me as I put it on my left eye.

"Nope"

"Good I am going to close shop now and relax, after two heavy paying customers." Ernhard said as I went out of the shop to be greeted by the snakes.

"Shall we start leveling up, now" I asked as they all nodded.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I kept my skills hidden knowing that these fuckers were planted by Myne,

I cut the Mushroom monster as I hit level 1,

||Level up||

||

Name: Adric Norlov

Job: Sword hero

Species: Draconic-human Hybrid.

level: 1

EXP: 0/200

Attack: 24

Magic Attack: 21

Defence: 19

Magic defence: 20

Mana : 15 + (sealed)

Abilities: Dragon god eye (copy)(sealed), Mana circuit

Sword forms: Base, Zete(Uncommon) (LV1),

Mastery: 25%

||

Profecency could be used for raising the rairty levels, so I could get Zete to legendary or even artifact.

Same with level link, it would increase the level of the sword.

I was someone who liked to specialise instead of genearalise

But the problem was that Dad made me speacialize in every weapon so yeah but according to what they told me I could only use swords.

So I am going to upgarde Zete by atleast twice before I moved to other sword forms.

Now how to ditch these fuckers, I looked at them while looking around, they seemed to be acting how they used to, with Bakta being a meathead, and welt being intelligent.

I had made many mistakes while fighting today so I would be able to ditch them, they too were level 1 and 2 seemed like hero boost was what they were looking for.

First thing I did was kick them off since I won't show them the screen anyway.

They didn't seem to notice as we got a inn, near the castle.

It was the same as the other three who were staying here too.

I went back to my room, they didn't say anything possibly taking it as a personality trait.

What to do? I can't just throw them out until they trip over something, since I would need some justification no matter how ridiculous it may be.

Hopefully it would be soon.

Otherwise I would have to make them go missing.
