As I slowly ate the Rank 1 sword, I could feel slight changes in my body, as Aura seeped into my body, tempered it and stabilised itself inside of my heart.
"Fascinating…Eat them all, but leave 1 of the Rank 2 swords you like for yourself." Said the Headmaster to which I nodded.
I ate the other 2 Rank 1 Swords.
When I came to the Rank 1 sword, I got an idea.
I opened my mouth as wide as possible, swallowed the Rank 2 sword in 1 gulp, and said in my mind,' I would like to pay the price of the Aura I have in my body and the Rank 2 sword.'
My grimoire opened up in front of me and I read a few words.
{
Only 1 item can be selected as the 'cost'
Aura or Rank 2 sword
}
The headmaster looked at my grimoire with curiosity, as his own grimoire opened up, and new pages started to be added to it.
'I pick the sword.' I said with a slight sigh.

"OOOOOOHHHHH, this time, your Aura or body size did not change at all." Said the headmaster with a bright smile on his face.
Just as I was about to explain it, he looked at my open grimoire and had a small smile on his face as he said," Seems like your ability isn't as simple as you make it seem."
"Is the ability to eat anything simple?" I asked.
"No, it is definity a good ability, but it isn't the best possible. After all, your body can only take around 1% of the Aura and upgrades." He said.
I was a little shocked, since looking into my body, I could see 10 strands worth of Aura, which means that from 2 Rank 1 swords, I only got 10 strands, a Rank 1 sword has 500 strands worth of Aura.
What in the actual fuck, when will I reach that level of strength.
The headmaster then took out a crystal and scanned my face with it.
Then, an ID showed up in front of me as he said,'' This is your in campus ID. For 3 months you can go anywhere in the campus, after that your rookie grace period is over.
Keep in mind only students have this, those people in the residency don't have this…it's hard to track all the people there after all…" He said with a small smirk.
This is odd…why did it seem like he was emphasising the last part.
"Here, I actually have to be somewhere else right now, so I will give you this.
In this pouch there are 10 Rank 2 Aura shards. If you just eat them, it will be more than enough for you to become a Rank 1, but I would suggest you use them slowly and absorb them manually, since manual absorption gives 10% absorption rates.
Now, I need to go and check on the new magic rookies, so for now, toooooodalooooo!" he said, as he literally disappeared.
He left, with a weird smile on his face, and the second he left, the door slammed open, as Akashi entered the room with his face filled with sweat.
"Hey man…what are you doing here?" I was confused.
"Did you use your grimoire in front of him?" Akashi asked, in a semi-panic state.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, he did." Said the headmaster as he re-appeared.
What the fuck is going on?
Akashi seemed a little tense, but then his body relaxed as he asked," So, what do you know, headmaster."
The headmaster looked at Akashi with a little twinkle in his eye, as he said," Just that his grimore's main ability is to summon, not to eat."
"What the fuck?" I said out load, I don't remember saying my skill out load and Akashi isn't stupid enough to say it as well.
Unless…he did slip up before and that's why he is here.
"It's not that. His grimoire allows him to copy other people's grimoire for 1 use, as long as the other person uses it infront of them."
Shit…this is a problem.
"Hmmm, well it isn't that simple Akashi. The rank of my own grimoire has to be higher than the copied one's rank.
Considering that he could summon you, who has a Rank 6 skill, he overranks my Rank 6 grimoire for sure." The headmaster explained, this time slightly more serious than before.
Akashi seemed slightly more relieved, but did not actually calm down too much.
"How about this, Magnus." He looked at me, with a somewhat crazy smile again.
"Let's make a deal!" He said.
"What type of deal?" I asked back, trying not to be creeped out.
"Hmmmmm, I give you all the resources you need and in return you guys do 3 simple things."
"Such as?" Akashi asked, as he walked up in front of me, with what seemed like a twig in hand.
" Firstly, unite the separated Mages and Knights side of the school.
Secondly, Unite this continent and let the Academy be the strongest force here.
Lastly, help me to become the legendary Rank 5 Magic Knight!"
