Chapter 26: The start of the big build

"Damn, it's really different fighting with swords than daggers," I said, jumping away from Uwe to catch my breath.

"Yeah, we will need to get you a teacher," Uwe said, holding his chin and thinking.

"You can teach me," I said, pointing my sword at him.

"I use a double-sided axe," Uwe said with his axe appearing in his hands.

"Ah, I see. Not going to work then, huh? Hmm, can I have two teachers then, one for Dual wielding swords and another for lances?" I asked, looking at the two swords I was holding.

"That's not a problem, but why lances," Uwe asked, a bit confused.

"For this, of course," I said, throwing two of my swords at him in full force.

"I see. I will have to look for someone who can help you with swords, but lances aren't something we use," Uwe said thoughtfully.

"Ah, I see, so I am on my own," I said, not very surprised or disappointed by it.

"Well, I can get people that can help a bit, but I think you would do better on your own than someone that knows even less than you about weapons."

"True, I am a jack of all trades," I said, shrugging.

"Blowing your own horn, heh."

"Hmm, who?" Feeling quite the killing intent, I looked to the right and saw some small animals running at me.

"Ah, she is here," Uwe said, simply backing away from me.

"Ah, what?" I said, looking at him, wanting an answer.

"Can you just have a small spar with her? Then you can go just through her into the mansion," Uwe whispered with a small smile.

'I thought she would calm down after Uwe talked to her!' I thought, looking at him and her.

Shrugging, I looked back at the cat girl. Taking a step back, I dodged her attack and countered her by kicking her butt into the mansion, creating a giant explosion.

BOOM!

"Will she be okay?" I said, looking at her in the smoke, not seeing any movement. Seeing Leah stand next to her, I assumed she tried to catch her but miserably failed at it though.

"I said have a small spar with her, then just through her into the mansion," Uwe said, walking up to her unconscious body.

Putting his hand on her head, a golden light engulfed her, healing her in the proses.

"Huh, the axe element is healing? That just doesn't make sense." I said, tilting my head at him and ignoring his annoyance.

"That would be quite weird if that were true," Uwe said, snickering at me.

"… What?"

"Shh, don't go around and tell everyone, okay," Uwe said, holding his finger in front of his mouth while smiling.

'Oh, I see he also has two soul weapons.' I thought, nodding at my own thoughts.

"You do realize I can now kill you with that information," I said, raising my eyebrow at him.

'Both Leah and Lina didn't even say anything he was doing. I guess this was planned,' I thought, looking at Leah and Linas' expressions.

"You can?" Uwe said, not believing me one bit.

"Well, it would be quite hard with your speed, but I think I could manage," I said thoughtfully.

"Well, lucky for us, you are not like you were before," Uwe said, smiling at me.

"… tsk, that's true. But I can sell your info now."

"Something else you won't do," Uwe said, not even looking at me.

"… you have quite the confidence in that, don't you," I said, tilting my head at him.

"Well, I am sure you know what I mean about telling you about this," Uwe said, giving me a kind smile. A smile I only saw on 3 certain people in all my life.

'It's like being back at docs house.' I thought, clicking my tongue again and looking away from him.

"Huh, I thought you were fast at noticing the meaning behind people's words," Uwe said, looking at me surprised.

"Stop, I understood it. It's just I am not ready to accept that."

"But you said you are ready to move on?" Leah said, confused.

"Moving on and accepting a new family are two very different things, Uwe. Don't you demons know that trust is earned?" I said, raising my eyebrow at him, annoyed.

"Huh, well, we do, but we also have the word faith," Leah interjected, shrugging at me, making me narrow my eyes at her for a second.

"Tsk, annoying bastard," I said, facepalming in annoyance.

"Hahaha, don't worry. We are not trying to rush anything. Well, not rushing it too much. Take your time, okay? We will wait." Leah said, laughing at my annoyance.

"Thank you."

"Well, I guess our spar is over with this."

"Yeah, don't want a half-dead girl on the side," I said, putting all three swords into their sheaths.

"Well, now we know you can handle all three of them," Lina said happily.

"Yeah, like I thought I would get more swords later on. This feels way better than daggers." I said, smiling, looking at the three swords.

"Don't push it too much."

"Because I might die? Meh, it won't be the first time." I said, shrugging while walking away.

"Sigh, just be careful."

"When the girl wakes up, let me know. I will get everything ready so the two of us can start building my warehouse," I said, waving my hand before teleporting back into my private storage room.

"Alright, now to get all this outside," I said, looking at the thousands of metal sheets stacked onto each other. Having

'Not only are they lighter and thinner than my previous ones, but they are also twice if not three times stronger them.' I thought, looking at my 3D printer RepRep Mark4 moving around and sorting everything out for me while making more 3m by 3m and 3 cm thick metal sheets.

"Sigh, I miss RepRep Mark2. He was so talkative." I said, remembering the AI bot I made before he got disintegrated.

"Oh, you are already here. How was the talk with our parents?" Sara said, lounging on the only couch in the storage room. Something she brought in herself.

"Oh Sara, it went great. I got more soul-bounding swords," I said happily, showing off the two new swords.

"So, you have multiple?" Sara said, not surprised at all.

"Yes, I told you I will be getting more for myself," I said, chuckling at her.

"Sigh, whatever."

"Oh right, I knocked out Selena as well."

"What?"

"Yeah, I was having a spar with Uwe. She got between us, and I knocked her out when she attacked me." I explained, shrugging at the explanation.

"Haaah, the fuck was she thinking- Nevermind, it actually makes sense why she attacked you," Sara exclaimed, annoyed, before sighing again.

"Hmm, really? I thought Uwe put her up to it to get her to understand where we stand."

"Yes, he did. Like you probably notice, she doesn't like you a lot. The worst part is that we all said you are stronger than her. But she took that the wrong way." Sara said, still not moving from her position.

"So, it looks like I am attacking her."

"Yes, well, Luna will explain everything to her. Obviously not your past."

"Great, so I don't know actually what I am getting. An embarrassed girl or a racist demon that isn't going to listen." I said, turning to the wanking robot starting type on the computer attached to it, not wanting to really talk about Selena anymore.

"Well, you easily knocked her out, so yes."

"Well, you did say I am the strongest of all siblings," I said, sighing again.

"Well, yes, but that's because you actually joined the war," Saar said, sounding slightly disappointed, something I will never agree to.

"I guess that's true."

"Well, if any of us joined, I think we would be a lot stronger than we are now but not stronger than you," Sara said, pumping her fist in the air.

"I actually don't know the answer to that. It might be true, but also not. I mean, all of you have soul-bonding weapons, and one of them took out an entire rank SSS squad." I said, shrugging.

"That's the thing. The guy was much older than us. So, we couldn't relate to his skill level. Also, you killed him one on one." Sara said, feeling her glare on my back.

"That is true. Anyways you coming with?" I said, turning around to look at Sara.

"Oh, you finally going to start building it," Sara said, jumping off the couch excitedly.

"Well, the floor is already made, so we are starting with the building itself today," I explained, teleporting to the forest opening I used to make the platform.

"What? Since when did you make that?" Sara said, pointing at the giant platform.

"Mark4 made it through the night. I can't build something like that personally, so I had to have my quiet AI do it last night."

"Ah, I see."

"Yeah, so let's get started," I said, clapping my hands together.
