Chapter nine: New weapon

...

Mum, dad I am home, I said toward winning the door open.

Rick, my mother shouted with her tinged with happiness as she hugged me hastily.

Rick, how was your journey? My dad asked as he came towards me.

It was fine, I answered him while removing the part that I got stabbed and thanks to the healing pills, there was no trace of injury on me.

Since you are fine let's have lunch, she said with relief after knowing I was not injured.

Sure, I replied with a smile. Since I left the base, I had not eaten anything, and I was seriously starving.

Anyway, I will be going to the market to get some healing pills, I said while eating my meal.

But you said you are not injured, my mum asked in fear.

I'm not, I replied before continuing, I am only going to buy healing pills for me and my teammates for future usage.

But how are you going to buy the pills, you don't have any money, my father said as he looked at me with a stern look before continuing, are you hiding something from us? He asked.

At this point, I realized it was not necessary to hide anything from them so, I told them about how I became a level seven fighter and how I also became a soldier before I killed a level twenty monster, and this time, I told them how I got stabbed by the monsters.

What, you got stabbed by a monster, my father said with his jaw lowered.

How did you become a level seven fighter in less than a week besides, I did not feel fluctuations in your magic power, my mom said with an astonished look.

Anyway, I have seventy gold coins so, I should be able to buy ten low-level healing pills, I continued despite their astonished look.

In our world, a healing magician would only appear once in twenty years so, most healing magicians focus on making magical healing pills.

Wow, my son is now a level seven magician, my mom said with a smile on her face.

Dad, I will like to ask you a question, I said.

Sure, he replied to me with a smile before adding, and besides, who would not want to help his son with a fast growth rate.

Well, I would like to buy a book about previous magician attacks as well as their defense skills but, I don't have enough money, I said.

If that is all you need, then here is the money, he said while giving me fifty gold coins.

Although this amount of money was extremely much that is if it's seen with a kid that has not started working except they are from wealthy homes.

Anyway, I am going upstairs to continue my training, I said as I began to climb the stairs.

Now, where do I start, I whispered as I entered the stimulation room.

Well, I can start by learning an attack move, I mumbled as I brought out the book Miss Tasha gave me when I fought with her.

Time fist, I said as I began to study the move. So I just have to punch and then use my time barrier to send it a few seconds ahead. That way, no one would be able to predict my punch movement, I mutter with a grin.

However, If I a going to use this move, I have to work on my strength, I said with a sigh.

Although my magic level was improving rapidly, my physical strength was very weak so this is going to be tiring.

…

Mum, I will be leaving now, I said as I walked out of the house. Right now, I was going to buy some healing pills and a book about attack magic for a time magician.

Hmm, I mutter in disappointment. Ever since I arrived at the market, I could only find four healing pills and those are not going to be enough if we are going to go on a difficult mission.

Suddenly, I saw a large crowd gather around a particular store. It's like there were selling some rare equipment.

So, I decided to check out the rate item.

I heard that this weapon had been passed from generation to generation and now its for sale, a woman said before continuing, I will no, I mean I must definitely buy it, she said before continuing her discussion with her friend.

Hmm, seem like this weapon must be really hard to find but even though I want it, I would not be able to afford it, I sighed.

If I could just find someone who would lend me money, said looking a little disappointed. But, what if I called my teacher, she should be able to lend me the money I need, I said with excitement before dialing her number with my communication device.

What's up Rick, Miss Tasha said in a very causal tone.

When, I would like to borrow five hundred gold coins, I said without wasting a second.

But why? She asked with a surprised voice.

I can't say much for now but, I promise to tell you my reasons later, I said with a reassuring tone.

Fine then, I send the money to you now, she said while returning back to her casual tone. Is something wrong with Miss Tasha, I thought. She didn't even hesitate to give me the money.

So, I went to the store to check out the weapon the people were talking about.

What, I said with I awe. This was not just a legendary weapon, it was a weapon that had its own core stone So, the owner don't have to channel his own magic energy to it before it can create its magic and the best pert was, it was a katana with no curve.

"Cough", the owner of the store slightly coughed before continuing, I know many of you came here to buy this katana so the price is three hundred and fifty gold coins.

What, that such a huge amount besides, I only earn five hundred gold coins a month, a the woman yelled from the crowd.

Hmm, I better buy this katana before someone from those rich families come here, I mutter as I walked toward the shop owner.

Please excuse me, I will like to take the katana, I said while giving the man three hundred and fifty gold coins.

What, I heard some people say in surprise. How is that possible, I mean only those from wealthy households should be able to afford it but, a mere commoner bought this katana, the man told his friend before turning his gaze to me.

Anyway, here is the katana, the shop owner said as he gave me the katana before hastily collecting the money from me.
