"Bastard Swords are bigger and heavier than a one handed sword, but smaller than a greatsword." I said, "Heck it was named the Bastard Sword because it couldn't fit into any other family of sword. Basically it can usually be wielded comfortably with one or two hands."

"Thank you Vincent." Rias said smiling and standing up, "You've given me a lot to think about next training session."

"Which had better be the next chance you all don't have something to do." I said firmly, "Training on your own at your own pace can only get so far, you and your peerage need to train as often as possible, because right now it's four against potentially a full team of sixteen, you need to be able to endure a lot of punishing attacks over a long time, to last long enough to avoid damage without running out of stamina."

"Ah… I'll talk to my Peerage about training more often." Rais said sweating a slight bit.

"And one more thing Rias." I said standing up myself, "Double check things you want to give as a reward, you gave me the freaking Muramasa sword when we first met, be glad I don't draw it too often."

Rias's face turned into a frown, "I'm so sorry about that, when we pulled it from the body it didn't react to us in any way so we never suspected it was the cursed sword." Rias then looked me in the eyes, "If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know."

I thought about it for a moment… There were several things I could ask for. I could ask for her to track down a Relic Fragment, I could ask for her to get me something from the Underworld, but right now I think I'll do the best with just holding a favor over Rias.

"I'll let you know when I come up with something." I said, "Until then… I'm gonna see with a few contact's I've made around here, see if I can find that perverted witch again so I can see about some magically enhanced equipment for you and your peerage."

"T-That's really not necessary Vincent." Rias stammered taking a step back.

"Listen Rias." I said flatly, "You and Akeno, from what I've deduced, use obscene amounts of magic in large bursts, good against one big enemy, not so much against a team. Kiba can conjure weapons, but he'll need some armor to help him with his more fragile state… And Koneko has nothing but her bare hands to fight with, leather fighting gloves with a metal plate can only go so far really."

"I better be going now." Rias said abruptly, "Thank you Vincent, but there are some things I need to figure out on my own as well… And I've got to set up a training schedule." And thus she left though a Magic Circle."

"Man… Point's to honor and kindness and all, but she needs to work on her her long term planning skills." I muttered.

"Yep." Rouge said standing next to me, "She needed that, you did good."

"Thanks Rou- ROUGE!" I shouted jumping in surprise, "When did you get here!?"

"Uncle Jack's gotten some things that he said might interest you." Rouge said, "Apparently some retired exorcist in town decided to sell off everything to Uncle Jack for some reason, Jack's willing to sell it to you and see if you can salvage anything from it."

"Let's go then." I said as we headed to Jack's shop.

[]

"Here ya go Vincent." Jack said setting a cardboard box on the desk, several things in it rattling as he did.

"And here's the 600 Yen you wanted." I said handing over the cash and walking into the back room Jack was willing to let me use to sort through the box.

The first thing I pulled from the box was a gun.

[Broken Light Pistol]

[An Exorcist's Light Gun, but most of the internal mechanisms have broken down over time. No real value other than scrap, you might be able to salvage something from it though, or you could always pistol whip someone with it.]

"Damn." I muttered putting the gun aside, "Would have been nice to have something to repel those stray's with." Next I pulled out a sword hilt.

[Broken Light Sword]

[Aside from something George Lucas would file a lawsuit over, this is an Exorcist's Light sword, however several mechanism's inside have broken down over time, making it dangerous to the user. No real value other than scrap, there might be something you can still salvage from it though.]

"Jeez, the guy must have stopped caring for these." I muttered, "Or gotten them from slain exorcists." Next I pulled out a small sheet of paper.

[Holy Water Recipe]

[The method on creating Holy Water, a common devil deterrent. There's a lot you can do with a few bottles of this stuff.]

"Dang… That'll be useful to have." I muttered pulling out the next item, two plates of metal that look like they wrap around a hand, this caused me to blink, "No way." I muttered.

[Void's Grasp Gauntlet Fragment]

[A part of the Void's Grasp Gauntlet Relic. You now have two out of three parts of this Relic, one more and this Gauntlet will allow you to touch anything with it without pain to you.]

"I can't believe that guy sold something like…" I then noticed a quarter of a (Possibly) medallion in the box, "Are you serious?" I asked picking up the medallion piece.

[Medallion of the Wolf Fragment]

[One of five parts of the Medallion of the Wolf Relic. You now have two parts of this relic.]

"Man this exorcist did NOT know what he was selling off did he?" I muttered, picking out a few bits and bobs out of the box, nothing special though. Still I've already gotten a lot of good stuff from it.

Ah well, better get home and take apart these Exorcist weapons.
