Chapter-10

The world he lived in was named Earth, consisting of five continents. Earth was home to several academies. Because of an accident a few decades ago, the academy he attended fell from 2nd to 3rd but it is still a fearsome academy not to be messed with and the academy would rise later on as well of course that was for the future. The current mansion he was now in, wasn't the main mansion. It was the mansion that was build inside the academy city. Why call it city is because of its space which was as large as a city. It had malls, trains, restaurants and of course the academy. This mansion was built for the Silvercrest children who were in academic age to use. 

But for now, he didn't need to think about these as he was still very weak, he was just a mob. He took out his spoils from the rift.

He had gotten a lot of copper coins from the normal goblins along with a dozen or two rusty knifes and a lot of clubs. He had to fight a lot of goblins inside that dungeon that he didn't remember how many there were. He also had a lot of mana cores and martial bones of the goblins. He didn't have a use of them for now but the bow which he had gotten from the goblin boss would be useful. It was just a normal bow. He took out his sword which he had used the entire dungeon,

"I might need to get a new one"

The entire sword had corrosion most likely from the clashes with the goblin boss which had poison coated on its sword. Theron didn't know why the goblin's sword didn't get corroded.

'Maybe it was from a special material'

The poison was very potent so he sighed in relief that he had survived and thanked his martial bone.

Theron carefully laid out the ores he had received as a mission reward. Among them were iron ore, titanium ore, and a few others which he didn't recognize.

The first ore emitted a chilling, frost-like energy and it had a distinct blue hue. The second ore had a unique silvery hue and the third ore had a deep black hue. Theron searched for them but he could only find info about the silvery ore. It was a Lunar Silverite, an ore from the east and a very rare ore. There weren't much findings on this but the only one made with it which he could find was a weapon made with said ore. 

After completing his daily training regimen, Theron went to the city since it was still early. He wanted to find a good hairdresser. He just usually cut his hair with scissors when it was long so he didn't have a hairdresser whom he had ever met before. He browsed in his phone while in the car and stumbled upon a salon with a somewhat familiar name. The salon was located on the second floor of the city mall and was decorated with flowers, creating a refreshing and clean atmosphere.

Entering the salon, Theron noticed a few people getting their haircuts. Most were women, but there were also a few men. The bell above the door jingled as he entered, catching the attention of a middle-aged woman who worked there.

"Yes, Yes, whom would you like to cut with"

She inquired, glancing back at the person who had just entered.

"Oh, I have never seen you before, are you new"

"Yes"

As they were discussing, a person came out from the back of the shop. It was a mature woman with brown hair and visible wrinkles.

"Ohh, who is this new cutie pie"

"Your shift is done?"

"Can you help the newbie"

"Of course…."

The woman was about to continue, but her words were cut off by another woman with long black hair and ahem…. very blessed assets. She possessed a mature aura and was undeniably beautiful. Theron felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing her but struggled to recall where he might have seen her before.

"I will take care of it"

No one refuted her. 

"Ok, sweetheart you can sit here"

Theron went and sat down at the chair. Some of the people looked in jealousy, especially the men. 

"Well, let's start with the introductions"

"My name is Lizabeth, most call me Liz, you can call me that if you like as well"

"What's yours, sweetheart"

"Its Theron S.., Theron"

"Ok, Theron, sweetheart, is there any haircut you would like to have"

"I am not too knowledge about it so aunt Liz can do it as you like"

"Aunt, am I that old"

She looked at herself in the mirror with one hand on her face. 

"Of course not, of course not"

He quickly said in rebuttal waving his hands

"Haha, I am just joking with you"

She giggled at his performance. 

"Well, I think I know the perfect haircut that will go well with you"

After an hour or so, at the saloon, the barber cape was removed by Lizabeth and it revealed a handsome boy. His new haircut emphasized his features and gave him a fresh, stylish look.

"All done"

Lizabeth said as she showed Theron the mirror.

"Ahh, so handsome, little brother. Won't you mind giving this sister your number?" The mature woman from before said, eyeing Theron with interest..

"Umm…."

"Shoo, Shoo, don't disturb my client"

Lizabeth shooed the woman away.

"All the girls are gonna fall for you"

"Sigh, if I was younger, I would definitely chase you"

"Haha"

"You are joking, Liz nee"

"Of course not, look at you. Well, off you go. I won't take your time any longer."

Theron paid at the cash register before going out as he said good bye to Lizabeth.

"Goodbye, Liz nee"

"Yes yes, don't forget to comb your hair the way I taught you and also use all of the things to maintain your hair"

He went out of the saloon with a bag of items which Lizabeth instructed and a list of how to use them just in case he forgot as well as a video of her showing him how to comb which she sent to him via phone.

He went into the bathroom to put all of his items in his space ring before coming out. He wanted to get a new sword since his old one couldn't be used anymore. This time, he searched for a specific shop and he was able to find it with his phone.

Theron arrived at the blacksmith shop. The shop looked pretty simple but he stepped inside to see the exterior was indeed not complimenting the interior. Inside the smithy, there were a lot of weapons stored behind glass, each looking like they were crafted by an expert blacksmith.

Approaching the cashier, he found a beautiful girl engrossed in a book with stunning white hair.

She looked up from her book to see the person who was at the door, she looked a bit surprised for a few seconds before returning to her cold demeanor as she asked,

"Is there something you would like" she inquired.

"Yes, can I commission a weapon" Theron responded.

"Hmm, Yes but that depends on my grandpa"

"You will have to ask him"

"Grandpa"

She called out, but there was no response.

"Grandpa"

She called again, but still nothing.

"GRANDPA"

She yelled one last time, this time, louder than before, finally prompting the door at the back of the store to swing open. An old man with a slightly worn face emerged.

"What is it? I was finishing up a craft," he said

"There is a person who wants to commission a weapon"

She said in a slightly higher tone than when she talked to Theron.

"Ohh, a commission"

"What would you like to commission"

Then the girl cut in to say,

"I am sorry to say but you will have to speak a little bit higher because my grandpa has a small hearing issue"

"Its fine"

"Are there any designs you would recommend for a sword"

Theron said in a slightly higher tone.

"Well, there are many designs here" he said as he brought out a book from the drawer

"Take a look"

"This is a broadsword, known for its slashing capabilities, this is a…"

"This is a katana, known for its sharpness and precision"

"I would like to get a katana and could it be fine to make it with this ore"

"Can the ore be compatible"

The old man looked at the ore surprised.

"Yes, yes, I would only need a couple of more different ores and I will be able to make one"

The old man started to think as he started to write down on a note and then gave it to the girl and the girl started to use her phone to calculate.

"The cost will be 5000LM"

"And you will have to sign here and fill in the information"

"When would it be ready"

"It will be ready in three days time"

"Then I will be back in three days time"

"Thanks Gramps"
