《Battlefront》44

Instead of appearing as weapons, both appeared in humanoid forms.
The sword spirit weapon looked like a much younger version of James. When Pragna saw him for the first time, James was already a grown man. But now he looked like a teenager. He is wearing blackish green cotton shirt with blue shorts.
The other weapon appeared as androgynous looking small child while wearing a brownish robe. The innocence can be clearly seen in its eyes.
Pragna knew that before becoming his weapon this child did not have any memories of itself. But the way it stood before him, it is clear that it at-least possessed some intelligence.
After looking at the child for some time he looked at James.
He felt a string of emotions when he looked at James. Though James became his spirit weapon, Pragna did almost kill him. But Pragna knew James harboured no ill intent for Pragna. If he did, he never could be his spirit weapon.
Pragna asked both of them, “So what are your names?”
James said, “I am fine with James.”
The small child looked confused and said, “I have none.”
Pragna looked at child for sometime and said, “OK, from today onwards your name is Yigg.”
The child then nodded its head in acceptance. Though the child tried to act mature its clear it is happy that it is named. It could barely suppress its smile.
James and Pragna both smiled when they looked at Yigg.
Pragna knew that though spirit weapons have to obey every one his commands, they still have their own minds and goals. He wanted to have a smooth relationship with them. So as long as their goal overly don’t interfere with his own, he has now problem aiding them in their ambition.
Pragna then said, “Alright tell me your ambitions.”
James said, “To see the pinnacle of blade play.”
Yigg said while raising its hands as high as it can and said, “To become as large as I can get!”
For some this may seem like a cute act of child, Pragna knew that, by instinct Yigg wanted to become the largest tree in existence.
Pragna then thought about their wishes. To full fill Yigg’s wish it is going to take lot of research and materials.
As for James wish.... Pragna thought
Its time I visited the martial art section.
As usually Biazib is waiting for him at his office. When Pragna told him that he will be taking him to the martial section Biazib could barely contain his joy. But before he could take him there Pragna wanted to try something.

He said to Biazib, “Before we go I need to ask Agarthala. It seems he is busy so it may take some-”
Biazib hurriedly said, “Do not worry! I will bring him right now.”
Saying that Biazib disappeared while running at his top speed.
Surprisingly in few minutes he brought back Agarthala. Usually Agarthala is busy and is very hard to find even for Library’s employees. So at the speed at which Biazib found him, that itself is a miracle.
Pragna said to Biazib, “I want to talk to Agarthala privately, can you wait in my office?”
Biazib replied, “Sure” and he left.
After he left Pragna told Agarthala, “By the way today I do not have much work. So I am going to martial section and I am taking Biazib with me.”
Pragna is looking at Agarthala to see any reaction from him. He wanted to know if Agarthala would make any comment on it.
Agarthala laughed and said, ”Good for you! Your are making friends.”
Pragna stared at him for few seconds and said, “Anyway the reason I wanted to talk to you is this, I want access granted for the elemental section books.”
Though Pragna did not find any information while searching for inner nature, he has one more option he wanted to check out, the information on elemental lords. If he could find any information on the inner nature of elemental lords may be he can find out who that red woman is.
But as he tried to check for the information, there seem to be heavy access restriction.
Only Agarthala and owner can by-pass it. This is actually the main reason he wanted to see him.
Agarthala said while taking out his access card, “Give me your card” and Pragna handed him his card.
When Pragna handed his card to Agarthala a black coloured glow passed from his hand to Agarthala. Surprisingly neither of them noticed it.
After re-adjusting the cards Agarthala gave back Pragna’s and said, “Ok, now you can access it. By the way I heard you went to the crystal cauldron, is that true?”
Pragna had a rough inkling that Agarthala already knew what he purchased, but he never expected he would be questioned about it.
So Pragna asked, “Yes, is there a problem with that?”
Agarthala said, “No nothing, it’s just that you could have purchased them online from your computer, so I don’t know why you went there personally to purchase the items.”
Pragna is surprised. He asked, “I can purchase online?”

Agarthala said, “Yeah! You can use your desktop to order the items. Also the crystal cauldron here in this city is a small branch. If you use the computer system you can directly access the main branch in merchant’s city.”
Pragna replied, “OK, I will keep that in mind when I order next time.”
As Agarthala left Pragna returned to his office. Along with the eager Biazib, he went to the Martial art section.
The Martial art section is the one of most highly valued section and often visited place in the library. Considering the lifestyle in Battlefront it is not very surprising.
When both of them appeared in the martial art section, it is relatively more populated compared to the other sections. As both of them were descending the teleportation dais, a soul-puppet approached them. After confirming their ids both were given a general map of what and where of the section.
Before Pragna could take any decision, Biazib eyes sparkled when he a saw name in the map.
He pointing at that name said to Pragna, “Yes! This is the one! Lets go to this one.”
Considering how excited Biazib is Pragna let him take the lead. On their way there Biazib told him about the place they are going to. Evidently this section contains some of the best martial arts in existence. If there ever was a famous martial arts in battlefront, a copy of it exist here!
In-fact this section so much coveted that everyone wants to visit this place. But the price for one visit itself is more than 100 essence stones!
The only people who can visit it without paying any essence stones are library employees.
When they entered the room no one was there. The room is vast beyond belief. There were all kind of recorded works there neatly assorted according to a certain pattern.
On wooden shelves there were bamboo-scrolls neatly arranged. While on some there were numerous leather bound books.
Apart from books there were weird statues arranged in patterns.
At one end of the room there recording devices.
While on other side there training bags and dummies. Weird thing about this training bags dummies is that most of them are badly damaged.
While Pragna is steadily absorbing his surroundings in, Biazib looked like child who found his candy-land.
Biazib said, “come-out.” Suddenly around him 6 beings appeared. A coiled dragon, A stout man and a well built woman, two twin boys with horns on their heads and finally a bulky black ball.
Pragna immediately knew what they are, they are soul weapons!
According what Pragna heard soul-weapons are extremely rare. Yet here this man possessed six of them! Pragna thought Biazib must be from a well-of family. The moment Pragna laid his eyes on Biazib he knew there was something special about this guy. After seeing his weapons, he knew that this not it.
While Pragna is thinking Biazib is talking to his weapons, “This is a golden opportunity for us. Even E.S school does not have this many recordings. Try to read as many as you can.”
After saying that including Biazib and his weapons went in the direction of their choice.
Biazib hurriedly picked up a bamboo scroll and started reading from it. After sometime he was so deeply engrossed in it that he even forgot about Pragna.
Pragna smiled when he looked at Biazib. Afterwards he slowly started browsing through the stuff in this place.
Duty his poly-linguist skill he did not have any problem browsing the literature.
But he found the books or bamboo scrolls quite accurate. For one to write about them in such details, one has to truly understand this techniques inside-out.
As he was reading about them he came across many kinds of fighting styles. Some were for humanoid-beings while some for a specific type of species.
Also he came across many works related to weapon mastery. As he came across sword related arts, Pragna got a response from James. James appeared in-front of him. He took out a book from the shelve and started reading it. After a cursory glance itself he knew the quality of the book is superior.
He said to Pragna, “It will take me sometime to finish here.”
Pragna smiled and said, “Take your time.”
After that Pragna started browsing through rest of the things in this place.
As he was looking through the stuff he came across the broken dummies. He looked at them hoping to gain some knowledge he felt nothing. Bored as he was about to move away from it, he saw book shelf right behind this dummies. When he saw it his eyes widened.
The entire book shelf looked ordinary. But unlike rest of the shelves this one has mismatching items on it. It had books, bamboo-scrolls and some recording devices. What drew his attention is not the arrangement, but rather one of the recording devices. It is glowing in red colour, the red woman’s colour.
