"I am going to see if there are any weapons that are good." Lance said as he went towards the blacksmith.

"Well, I'll go check up on the Commercial Guild then. See if I can sell anything here." Sam said as he went towards the Commercial Guild.

After the two left, it was only Chad and Benji left.

"Well, what are you going to go Benji?" Chad asked him.

"I'll probably stock up on some supplies, then I'll go check if there is a dojo around here somewhere." Benji said.

"What about you?" Benji asked him back.

"I honestly have no idea! Maybe I'll just go find something to read." Chad replied.

"Is that so? Oh well, I'll be going now. Try not to get into any trouble or die while you're at it." Benji said as he left Chad.

"Oi! Why would I get into any trouble or die? Are you trying to curse me right now!?" Chad shouted at him in anger as he watched him disappear.

"Hmph, well whatever. I'll just do stuff on my own." Chad said as he had to find a way to release his anger on something.

...

"Hmm... This looks like it's the right store. Now I can only pray it has some spare good katanas. Maybe I'll buy some throwing knives for Elise too." Lance muttered to himself as he took a step into the store.

After stepping into the store, what he saw was a bunch of weapons laying on shelves and in cases. The only person there was a boy who was sitting behind the counter reading a book along with a little girl who was enthusiastically cleaning the shelves and floor.

"Hello! How may I help you, sir?" The little girl asked him when she saw a customer had walked in.

The boy merely gave him a glance to see if he was a troublemaker or not. After confirming he was just a person who didn't look suspicious anymore, he continued pouring his full attention into the book he was reading.

"I would like to see your katanas and throwing knives." Lance said bluntly as he looked at the little girl.

"Oh okay, come this way. The katanas are over here. The throwing knives are in the containers over there." The little girl said as she lead him to one spot and pointed towards another.

After following the little girl he came to a katana.

"Can I inspect it?" Lance asked her.

"Oh, go ahead! Be careful though, they are heavy and should be handled with care." The little girl warned him as she saw that he wasn't really that of an adult.

"I know." Lance said as he grabbed the katana before unsheathing it.

He then proceeded to look at the blade and gave it a couple of swings. After doing that a couple of times, he put it back and went to look at another. The katana wasn't suited for him at all. It was too heavy for no reason.

He already has a lot of strength, thus he needs a really durable and flexible blade that could withstand his attacks just in case. After browsing all the katana's in the store he could only sigh.

"Is there anything of the problem, sir?" The little girl asked him scaredly as she saw him sigh after inspecting all the katanas in the store.

"Nothing here really suits me. I'll go check on the throwing knives now." Lance said as he went to the containers.

"Eh really!? We are so sorry..." The little girl apologized immediately when she heard that the katanas weren't up to his expectations.

"What did you just say?" The boy that was sitting behind the counter said immediately.

"The katanas here do not suit me." Lance merely replied as he continued to browse the throwing knives.

"Repeat that one more time!" The boy said while gnashing his teeth.

"As I have said, the katanas here do not suit me." Lance replied one more time, this time stopping to turn around and look at him.

"What do you mean by it does not suit you? How do the katanas crafted by my master not suit you?" The boy asked him angrily.

"Andy! Stop that!" The little girl said as she reprimanded the boy.

"Why should I stop? He is insulting our master's work!" The boy said as he pointed at Lance angrily.

"He never insulted our master's work! All he said was the katanas do not suit him!" The little girl said trying to defend Lance.

"Stop trying to defend people! They will make use of you!" Andy said as he looked at the little girl.

"And you! Are you only going to hide behind her back!? Why aren't you saying anything!" He pointed at Lance again.

"There is no need to talk to someone that is rude." Lance said as he completely ignored him as he went back to browsing the throwing knives.

"Listen here you!" Andy said as he tried to get Lance's attention. However, Lance never bothered to turn back.

Seeing this, the boy got angry and went to grab a katana that was under the counter. He charged at Lance and brought it down upon him.

"Watch out!" The little girl screamed as she saw him bringing down the katana onto Lance.

CLANG

"!!!" The boy widened his eyes in shock as he realized his attack had been blocked.

"No way!" The little girl exclaimed in shock as all she saw was a blur before the customer had his blade unsheathed with one hand and blocked the attack.

"He's a master!" The little girl exclaimed in excitement as she saw that.

The little boy who had dug a grave for himself jumped back and prepared to attack once more. There was no backing out as he had already attacked a master and had irritated him. He was already regretting what he had done.

"Heyy. Who's stirring trouble in my store again? Why do I hear so many clinks and clangs so often nowadays? Can't you youngsters just keep it down for this old man?" A voice came from the back of the store.
