Chương 23: Journey, I

{Author's note: Hello there, certain reader who is reading this story, just wanted to say thank you for reading till this point and hope you will continue to do so in the future. I am finally getting started with volume two, Alteration, today and I hope you'll be able to enjoy it to the fullest.}

***

It is a new day today, and a good one too. Why? You may ask, well, it's because today we're getting the equipment ready for our trip or journey to the Dune Dungeon.

Sigh. It is eight-twenty-nine AM right now. I thought to myself while waiting for the clock to hit eight-thirty so I could barge into Sean's room.

Beep

The time hit eight-thirty and I slammed open Sean's room with a 'BAM' noise, only for the door not to reach all the way back. Immediately, I got into the room to see Sean behind it while holding his bleeding nose.

He glared at me with a ferocious look… "Ahaha… Sorry, my friend…" I gave him an awkward apology…

He frowned as he asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to break down my door first thing in the morning…"

"Well… meh, it doesn't matter. Come on wipe your nose and let's get going." I urged him to move his hands faster. "After all, we'll get our gadgets for the Dune Dungeon today."

"Yeah. We would've gone faster if you didn't break my nose… shit." He grunted from the pain he had been inflicted to.

***

We got downstairs and into the kitchen. Ate a bland breakfast and got ready to depart from the house. Luke was with us too.

"Okay listen," Luke started to talk, "Stuff like camping equipment, tents, bags, and even swords are expensive in today's age, I have an amount of money but I don't think I can cover the expenses for all three of us…" he trailed off.

I replied, "Don't worry, I've tried to work while I was in school from time to time, so I guess I actually have some money too."

"Yeah, don't worry about me." Sean picked up the sentence too.

"I see, so we are set already."

***

We went to the city mall, the place I first visited in this world with Layla, Sean, and Luke—aside from the coffee bar, that doesn't count.

"I still get amazed at this place even though I've been here for the past three or four months," I muttered, and Luke seemed to hear me as he began talking.

"I know right? Even though I've always been living here, I still manage to get surprised at stuff from time to time. Like how did they make this or that, or like 'Wow that's a pretty smart thing, I would never think about doing it this way' and stuff like that."

Luke kept going on and on, he was a pretty talkative person, and he's also popular at school, so it's obvious he is good at socializing with everyone.

"Yeah, well, we're here." he finished, in front of him was a store that gave off the vibe of a forest. It was colored green and brown, the walls had some bears, trees, and birds drawn here and there.

Hmmm… I hummed subconsciously while feeling nostalgia for my other world.

"Okay, so what do we need to get are: tents, backpacks, stoves…" Luke started to count the things he had written down on his phone's notes.

Across the mall, an empty shop in the corner caught my eye. "Luke, buy my stuff for me right now, I'll be back soon!" I said as I dashed towards the shop.

I evaded people one by one and finally, another shop was in front of me.

I looked up at the name on top of the automatic doors. "Sacrificing Steel", what a weird name. That is probably the reason this shop is empty.

I entered and was suddenly overcome with this gloomy-filled vibe, the shop was mainly gray-colored, dirty from place to place, and it was really hot. I noticed that there was steel everywhere. Swords, actually.

This place, is it a blacksmith's? I asked myself.

"Welcome, y'ng boy." I saw a man, probably beyond his mid-fifties, accent visible on his tone.

"Ya here for a sword?" he asked.

"Ah, no, not really. But I wouldn't mind looking into them a little." I smiled a little.

"Now that I think about it, didn't I have my sword with me when I came into this world…?" I muttered to myself, only to end up blank-minded.

"What would a boy yer age know about swords…" he sighed disappointedly.

I looked back at him and voiced out, "Oh don't worry old man. In this world, besides blacksmiths, I don't think there's anyone who knows better about swords and the likes." I smiled confidently.

"Heh?" He scoffed. "Okay then make yer pick, if ye choose the best one, I'll halve the price."

Hehe…hehehehehehehe… A maniacal laugh barely contained almost slipped out of me.

"Fine, old man…" I trailed off as I started moving through the shop while looking at one shelf after another. After five minutes, I came to realize something.

'This old man… is too good at making swords. I can see many unfinished products, but his finished ones don't have any flaws at all. Thin, sharp, strong. I glared at the old man while thinking that.

I received a smirk as his reply. As if he knew what I was thinking.

Let's see… Which one would be compatible with mana usage?

I started to circulate the pent-up mana inside my body.

Mana travels through the body just like blood does through veins and arteria, and so I can feel every inch of my body where mana exists.

The mana pool of a person depends on how well the person in question can refine it and make mana condensable inside his body.

Move it up to my brain and make it colorless.

The grey mana particles started to cover the whole surface of my body and instantly a gust of killing intent flew out of my figure and into the whole store.

That's how killing intent is made, the more u practice it and experience you have, the stronger its pressure will be when released.

As per my expectations, every sword flew out of their shelves, shattering noises overcoming the whole store, the old man on his butt eyeing me as if I was a monster.

Every sword was on the ground, besides one. A dark-colored blade with a purple crack on it, its hilt, is also black with two amethyst-colored deltoid shapes connecting from top to bottom.

The only katana, sword, blade standing on the shelves as if it was the king of them all… I grabbed its hilt carefully as if it would crumble with the slightest touch.

It was… perfect.

I looked behind, "I'll be taking this one, old man." I grinned and gave him a wink.

"I'll be taking this one, old man," I said while relishing the look he gave me.

Sigh

Why am I enjoying the look of a frightened man? I chastised myself.

"Hah," he let his breath out. "I-I won't ask what that was, here y'ng one. Ya really have a nice eye for things." He complimented me.

"So, what about the deal?" I gave him a questioning look.

"Heh, yer already sure ya got the best craft of mine, quite confident ain't ya!" He talked as he started to wrap my katana.

"Of course," I grinned and continued, "But truly, old man, you have some nice equipment here and yet you have no customers. I feel bad for what they're missing out on."

"Heh, in today's age, ther' ain't many people who look and buy stuff like ya, kid." He exclaimed.

"There truly isn't… in a world like this," I said and received an immediate voice of his thoughts.

"Kid, yer going on and on about this world this, and this world that?"

"Oh, no don't worry it is just a bad habit of mine," I said.

The katana was just about done and as he put it in the bag he said "Here, as per the deal, the price is in half. Five-hundred-forty dollars."

What.

WHA-?! I screeched within myself.

Immediately, Luke's words rang in my mind, "Equipment of this sort is expensive".

They truly are.

I peeked inside my wallet. "Um… dear sir… I got only one-hundred-twenty actually…"

"Ngah? S'rry then y'ng one, I can't give it to ya for that much only."

"Hmmm, you got a rock or something? One of strong, dense material," I asked.

"Hm? Yes, 'f course I do, ther' ya go." He said as he looked through some stuff and threw a clear-looking one. Could this be a diamond?

"Yea, it's a diamond." He said with a grin.

"Are you listening to my thoughts, shitty old man?" I replied in a goofy tone.

"It's your eyes telling me what ya think, ya better work on that." He gave me advice.

"Of course," I nodded and started circulating mana through my body.

I began to think, would fire or wind be better? Hmmm, fire would do more damage while wind could amplify the speed of the attack (the swing of the sword), so I guess I should go with wind magic.

I started to circulate the multi-colored particles toward my hand, green-colored ones especially, inside the diamond.

The diamond started shining, and green rays of light started to overtake the gloomy part of the room.

Yet again, I got a satisfactory reaction. Humu, that's what I like. This man reacts how I want everyone to respond to my doings.

The clear-looking diamond took a shade of a green hue and remained like that.

I tossed the gem back into his hands, he brought it close to his eyes and asked with an astonished look, "What's this…?"

"Well, that is a type of wind spell imbued inside that diamond, attach it to a sword, and try  to swing with it."

"Wind spell? What're ya talkin' about?" He asked with a disbelieving frown on his face.

"Just try it already, shitty old man…"

He got a good-looking sword, probably his 2nd best creation, and attached it to a small space in its hilt.

"Haha, it's as if this space was made for this." He started smiling.

"Lift it and swing it. Give it a try!" I urged the old man.

"Huh?!?" he gave an alarming look and turned back to me, "It's as light as a feather!!?".

I grinned, "I know right?" Then continued, "You can probably sell this sword a fortune and retire already." I stated a fact.

"Yer right…"

"Well, will you still charge me for the sword? Do I have to give my last coins?" I asked with puppy eyes.

"Is that even a question?" He replied instantly.

"Thank you, and about your question earlier… I might be a young mage from a fantasy world." I gave a gentle smile as I turned back and left the store quickly.

"Wa-Wait-…" I heard him, I concealed my presence and moved towards the shop where I left Luke and Sean.

I could see the old man running out of the store, looking for me and asking people while describing my features, after a short while he gave up and went back to his shop.

George Clinker POV:

That young boy… Can I even call him a young one at this point?

Ever since he first got into my store, I noticed this aura about him, as if the world was moving around him, and not the opposite.

He had this composure and confidence. Even his expressions, did he do them on purpose?

Then there was one incident after another, he started concentrating on something and immediately my breath got sucked out of my lungs, and my knees gave out. I fell ass first to the ground.

All the swords came flying down the shelves, ravaging noises overcoming the forge. And when I saw him pick up my best creation, he truly felt like someone I shouldn't be eyeing so easily.

Then the diamond… What did he do, was he actually from a fantasy world?

Just…What is he…?
