Lucas endured the attack without much damage. Tho his mana armor couldn't completely prevent the damage to his body; it quickly regenerated into a normal state. Only his clothes were destroyed during the spar.
"Not bad, Jacob." Lucas extended him toward him. "Welcome aboard."
"Thank you." Jacob accepted the handshake.
"Can I check out the sword?"
"Sure."
Jacob handed over the sword to Lucas. However, the moment Lucas picked up the sword, the menacing flame on the blade disappeared.
"I guess the only one who can use the sword are you?"
"I don't know," Jacob shrugged. "You're the first person to hold it besides me."
Lucas tried swinging the sword. However, it acted like a regular magicless blade. He tried infusing his own mana into it, but the sword didn't react, so Lucas gave up and gave the sword back to its original owner.
"So, how does it feel? To use that sword?" Lucas wondered curiously as they watched Jacob retract the sword into the jewel.
