Chapter 80: Crescent Moon
Elysia felt confused and frowned a little while wondering that the two of them were not playing roles and trying to trick her.
Apart from Avrora Forest being a bit complicated to hear, the level of this sword that she saw with her identification ability was different from what Instructor Dillon said.
She then received the all-black odachi named Celestia and Instructor Dillon immediately checked that Elysia"s hand did not use the muscle at all or Reinforcement Magic to lift the two hundred kilograms sword. But how did that happen? He began to wonder.
"Instructor Dillon, how do you check the level of a weapon?"
"You can check the item"s level with Luveeda but you can also use a universal identification tool like this."
Instructor Dillon immediately took out a tool for level identification from his [s.p.a.ce Bag], a white cuboid which he immediately attached to the sword Elysia was holding.
[| Lv. 50 | Durability: 100% |]
Elysia saw that the level written on the white cube was very different from what she saw with her identification ability. Because of that, she immediately took Luveeda out of her [s.p.a.ce Bag] then stuck the darkest part of the device onto Celestia and channeled some of her magical energy.
[| Lv. 50 | Durability: 100% |]
The result was exactly the same, she returned Luveeda to her [s.p.a.ce Bag] enigmatically.
"That identification item was broken to the point that it couldn"t identify this level 65 sword?" Elysia wondered and couldn"t find the answer.
"Maybe this is what is called fate, Lil Ely. This sword has chosen you as its master hehe... Now is the time to eradicate all evil and save the world!" Elena joked cheerfully.
"I"m not a hero. By the way, you finally spoke, Sister Elena. Did the weapons on this golden altar catch your eye too?"
"Hmph! You"ve been sorting out weak swords and weapons, it really makes me sleepy. Lil Ely, ask what we need to do to be able to bring this sword home... This sword will probably be the most suitable weapon for you."
After considering Elena"s suggestion, Elysia decided quickly. She now desperately wanted a beautifully carved odachi with the name Celestia on the blade near the rain guard.
"Instructor Dillon, can I make a wish? What do I need to do to own this Celestia sword?" Elysia smiled sweetly with an expression like a child begging for candy.
Instructor Dillon tried to be strong and fierce for a moment before finally giving up and sighing. As the saying goes that the sword has chosen its master, so he who has discovered this sword accidentally better hand it over to the person destined to own it.
"Before that, try lifting this sword. It weighs a hundred kilograms, half the weight of Celestia." Instructor Dillon took out the second heaviest sword and his favorite sword from his [s.p.a.ce Bag] and gave it to Elysia.
"Uuu! It"s so heavy, I can"t lift it. One hundred kilograms? Then Celestia two hundred kilograms? I hold it just fine as if it only weighs two kilograms."
Elysia put Celestia back onto the altar then exerted all her physical strength to lift Instructor Dillon"s sword but to no avail. She took Celestia back from the golden altar then sheathed it and held it easily.
"For this bizarre incident and the fact that Celestia seems to have chosen you, I will not forbid you to have this sword. But with some conditions." He emphasized the last sentence as if it was very important.
"Please enlighten this little girl, Instructor Dillon."
"You are prohibited from taking out this sword in public, don"t tell anyone that you have this sword, and you should never use it for evil. Then, you also need to practice Enhancement Magic in front of me with this odachi called Celestia." Instructor Dillon also stared at Evelyn who obediently nodded non-stop.
Evelyn knew this was a secret and would pose a danger to Elysia if others found out that she had a weapon with a level too high for Elysia who still couldn"t protect the sword with her current strength, a very ridiculous thought if she knew what Elysia had done in Avrora Forest.
"I wonder what you can do with Celestia with talents and abilities at your level. Are you able to fulfill it?" Instructor Dillon folded his arms with a serious face.
"Yes, I can do it. I swear on my behalf that I will not use this sword in the public and keep it a secret. Evil is always far from me and I make sure of it." Elysia also understood that Instructor Dillon meant partly for her own good.
"Great, now let"s go back to the training field. Try using Enhancement Magic with Celestia." Instructor Dillon nodded with a broad smile that was somewhat harsh because of his ferocious face. Elysia and Evelyn nodded innocently.
"Lil Ely! Check out the crystal that Vanessa just wanted to grab. Isn"t that crystal similar to the aurora crystal we collected in Avrora Forest?"
Elena exclaimed somewhat surprised before they left the golden altar. Elysia also doesn"t understand why the small crystal is placed in a part of the golden altar, it is not a weapon.
"Instructor Dillon, can I ask if that little crystal is a weapon too?"
Instructor Dillon immediately looked at the crystal that Elysia was pointing at.
"Yes, this is a crystal that I found near a lake somewhere in the Avrora Forest during my first adventure as a teacher. This small crystal can store magical energy that the energy owner can control and arrange to cast magic. It"s great and amazing. Look at this crystal as if it has an existence of its own that I control."
He immediately practiced a small trick with the crystal by channeling a little of his magic energy and making it float in the air at his will and flew a little here and there then sprayed a little fire.
"Woah! That"s amazing, really, cool!" Elysia clapped her hands lightly like a little girl who had just seen a magic trick.
"By storing a lot of magic energy in the crystal the user seems to have controlled reinforcements. Amazing!" Evelyn was a little surprised with amazement.
"Although that could be true, the magic energy that can be stored in the crystal that I call the Avrora Crystal isn"t much. This crystal weighs less than ten grams and will run out of energy after launching three fireb.a.l.l.s at my level, not very reliable in battle." Instructor Dillon shook his head in disappointment.
"Can"t we find a similar crystal in Avrora Forest? Maybe there is a mine or something?" Evelyn put a finger to her chin as she began to think.
"About this crystal has been informed to the princ.i.p.al. At that time, there was a large scale search by him and a.s.sisted by the royal army but kept secret. Unfortunately, after a long search, we got no results."
Evelyn seemed to be disappointed too, but Elysia and Elena were rejoicing in her mind. They had at least 25 kilos of such crystals in [s.p.a.ce Storage]. With that many crystals, they could forge something extraordinary and formidable that could be controlled at will like living weapons.
"Lil Ely, we can make something really awesome with that beautiful crystal, the Avrora Crystal. Yay!" Elena cheered happily when she found out all the beautiful crystals she begged to keep were truly very precious.
"Yes, we can do the experiment later. We also need to hide the fact that we have that much."
After that, they all returned to the training field to practice Enhancement Magic at Instructor Dillon"s request. On the way, Elysia and Elena talk about what they will do with the Avrora Crystal and what they will make of it.
The door was immediately closed tightly by Instructor Dillon and Elysia ready to practice the promised Enhancement Magic. She took out Celestia from her [s.p.a.ce Bag] then took out the odachi which was the same height as her body from the sheath.
"Think of this as an additional cla.s.s and my last condition. I know your talent and you learn quickly. Try channeling your magical energy to Celestia then use that energy which you continue to channel like you are using magic and will cast it. Enhance something you will use."
Instructor Dillon gave instructions slowly while practicing it with the real sword he was holding and a dark green energy aura began to envelop the blade.
Elysia immediately tried to do something similar by channeling very little of her magic energy into the odachi she was holding with both hands while trying Enhancement Magic to sharpen it.
"Hmm... You"re using the same sharpness principle as my Behemoth Slash? Alright, now swing your sword and slash, shout out your magic name as a macro." Instructor Dillon nodded when he saw the all-black odachi enveloped in white energy from Elysia.
Elysia found it a bit complicated because she also had to shout out some awkward nonsense called a macro in the name of magic. Even so, she swung her sword while shouting the name of her attack.
"Crescent Moon!"
Elysia blushed awkwardly then slashed rapidly towards the front, the sharpness of the level 65 sword that formed like a white crescent quickly cut through the path from the end of the field where they were standing to the other end of the field.
*Crack!*
The building wall at the other end split open and left a slit, Elysia"s slash with very little magic energy was still able to cut hundreds of meters and split a concrete wall!
Not only was Elysia surprised, Instructor Dillon and Evelyn also gaped in surprise.
"Looks like I have to make a damage report to the princ.i.p.al now."
Despite saying that, Instructor Dillon was a little awkward when comparing the achievements he could achieve with what Elysia who was still at the Apprentice level did when using Celestia.
