Two More Faces Join

"Mom, I fhink we fhoud start weaving jute baskets You were thinking of making last winters." Isabella stated while chewing on her food.

"Don't speak while you are chewing Bella." Grace scolded Isabella then continued, "Yes I was thinking of doing the same." she completed nodding and took a bite of her food.

"I will helwp to mwom!" Ava spoke up while eating *Cough* *Cough* then choked slightly on a morsel that went towards her trachea.

"That's why I tell you not to speak while chewing food" Grace scolded her second daughter while passing her a glass of water and rubbing and patting her back.

Glancing the three of them Zephyr remembered something asked Leif, "Father, can you tell me what weapon rankings you mentioned this morning?"

"Sure, what do you want to know?" Leif said looking at him taking a sip of his drink.

"Everything you can tell me. I have zero idea what all that is." Zephyr said.

"Hmm, let's see. On ground level, Weapons are divided into eight ranks." Leif stated.

"And what will they be?" Zephyr asked.

"Starting from weakest to strongest, they are, Common, Rare, Greater, Unique, Special, Legendary, Mythical, Divine." Leif stated.

"What was the word you said about 'on ground level'? Is there a catch?" Zephyr asked.

Leif nodded.

"Two weapons can be of the same rank and yet be vastly different in power."

"How so?" Zephyr scrunched his eyebrows.

"Well for starters each rank of weapon themselves are divided by the Seven tiers of beast like the monsters are. You do know them I assume?" Leif asked for confirmation.

Zephyr nodded. OfCourse, he knew what Beast ranking for monsters was. Simply put, from tier I to tier VII monsters were ranked from weakest to strongest, with tier I being the weakest and tier VII being the strongest.

"Good" Leif started with a nod of approval, "the weapons themselves are divided into 7 more tiers each is because of the material quality used to forge a weapon, or the tier of monster you have killed to obtain it."

"Wait! you can obtain weapon by killing monsters?" Zephyr asked.

"Without a question Zephyr." Leif said while lifting a spoonful of broth, "'What do you think the shard Section of your scroll is for?"

"So, shards are weapon?" Zephyr asked as he focused, and a scroll appeared out of thin air Infront of him.

'No changes till the day' Zephyr internally sighed as he didn't notice any changes, although he knew it was impossible for it show any change within two days, he was still a bit hopeful that it might and then he focused further on shards as the scroll Infront of him changed its script with a swirl of ink.

---------------------------------

Shards

He dismissed the scroll after gazing at the empty shard's section. and raised his head back.

"Well, you can't call shard as weapon necessarily. They have many utility Shards too" Leif said and continued, "Coming back to the topic of weapons, they can be obtained through forging one yourself if you have blacksmith class, can be bought obviously and can be Obtained through killing monsters or clearing a grimoire if u ever come across one." Leif said Finishing the conversation along with the last bite of his food.

"Alright children it's time to sleep." Grace said as she got up from her chair and gathered all the bowls and lates from the table.

After washing themselves and their dishes, Grace ushered them to go to the bed.

"And you two what are the two of you doing in a corner whispering and plotting. Go sleep ladies!" Grace pointed at Isabella and Ava who were huddled in a corner, Whispering something to each other.

""Yes! mom!"" Both of them stood with straightened backs and practically ran to the bedroom under their mother's stern gaze.

Next morning after drawing water from the well, which they sadly had to do every morning due to the fact that neither of his parent had affinity for water so they can't go around pulling water out of thin air, then zephyr went to his mother and helped along with his sisters to clean the house and study alongside them how to read and write as they did every day since Zephyr grew up.

After Breakfast Grace headed to the community center to find some work for the day or simply join other seamstress and assist them to earn some money. Meanwhile, the squad of the father, Daughters and son went to the same clearing outside of village to train zephyr.

"From today we will be adding martial training to your schedule, so that by the time it's your birthday you will be ready to practice Sword. Any questions?" Leif asked.

Zephyr shook his head.

Leif nodded and was about to continue when he was interrupted by Bella's voice.

"Dad, can we train alongside Zephyr too?"

"Yes Dad, can we?" Ava spoke in support along with her sister.

"Why in the world would you two want to train?" Leif asked

"No particular reason." Bella said.

"Well, we are older than Zephyr, so we need to be strong and cooler than him!" Ava spoke at the same time as Bella.

"Hey, you were not supposed to tell him that" Bella whispered furiously into her sister's ears.

"Oh no!" Ava held mouth with both hands, "What do we do now." 

"Well thanks for ruining the plan genius" Isabella whispered again.

"I said sorry Alright!" Ava whispered back to Isabella.

Both of them were clearly audible to Leif and Zephyr as they face palmed at the girls' shenanigans.

"Alright don't fight girls, I guess it won't hurt to train you two" Leif interrupted the two of them.

Both of them Raised their hands in victory.

"But the two of you must not quit? You understand?" Leif stated.

Both of them nodded their heads in excitement.

"Good, now three of you give me 6 laps around the clearing. Move!" Leif said as he smacked his wooden sword on the ground.

Around an hour later the three of them lied on the clearing near each other as Zephyr asked while smirking, "Who is the one looking constipated now huh?"

"Oh, please like you look any better." Isabella stated with a dead look while looking towards the sky.

"He is a demon. Can't he have mercy on his own children?" Ava said while lying down like a corpse.

"He might be punishing for asking him to train." Isabella added.

"Don't you three think its rude to talk bad about a person when they can hear you?" Leif said while shaking his head in amusement.

After Leif walked away from them to inspect the clearing.They lied on the grass for a few moments in silence which was shortly broken by Ava.

"Hey, what do the two of you want to do once you grow up?" Ava asked.

"Personally, I want to eat lots and lots so that I never need to feel hungry like we do. Also, I want mom and dad and you two to have so much money that we never need to ask for help" Isabella stated while extending her hand towards the sun trying to grasp its light.

"What about you Zeph?" Ava asked looking at her brother.

"I don't know. Maybe become so strong that no one can bully me." Zephyr said, obviously he can't simply state that one that was his bully was a god and he planned to kill him in the long run.

"And you?" Isabella asked Ava.

"Me? I want to go to the magic academy and learn magic and become the strongest mage!" Ava said while staring into sky with a smile as though she can see a distant future where she was at the top of world.

The three of them stayed silent while gazing into the clouds with a relaxed look. Then Leif came back and asked them to get up and back at their training. Which made the three of them grumble and reluctantly drag their aching bodies for the rest of training, and eventually by the end of training they ended up massaging each other's bodies in-turns.
