18 Chief Jonathan (1/2)
---
Unsure of what to do, Raven thought of asking the store clerk.
”Hi miss!” The lady at the counter gave him a look as he continued: ”I was wondering if there are knuckles, arm guards and leg guards that have better quality than the ones in here.”
”Well…” the lady smiled wryly and explained, ”Young Master's choices are really rare. There's almost no Fighter nor Knight that uses those.” She hesitated for a while before saying: ”Allow me to talk to Chief, many he made something like those…”
She then bowed and excused herself, Raven nodded in appreciation and waited for her. Meanwhile, he heard footsteps behind him and saw Paul and Mark, they already finished their purchase and came to him.
”What did you buy?” Mark asked.
”Nothing yet, they lack better quality of the weapons I prefer to use, I asked the clerk for help and currently waiting for her.” Raven explained.
Paul could seen roaming his eyes on the weapons available, he made a weird expression in his face as he asked: ”Are you really going rely on just your limbs to fight?”
Mark was enlightened when he heard this, he also looked weirdly at Raven for making this kind of choice.

Both of them found it weird that during the entire length of their training together, they have never saw use a weapon. They know that he could, he even was the one who taught them how to but he trained with his fist, and just a few days earlier he was training his legs. They never imagined that he would really decided on going unarmed.
”We'll see, I just feel that I could pull it off. Anyway, I might take a long time here so go look for armors, oh and if you see any gravity suits, buy one as well.” Raven waved his hands to send them off, Paul and Mark nodded and left to view some armors.
Raven waited for at least ten minutes before the clerk return, he looked at her and saw that she was wearing a peculiar expression.
”Young Master, our Chief invited you over.” The lady beckoned and led the way, Raven shrugged and followed her.
They went up to the back of the building, Raven could feel the heat rising as they move closer to the forges. He also heard the faint hammering sounds getting louder as they moved closer. The lady opened the metallic door and hot air immediately blew in Raven's face.
The sound of hammering rang in his ears, each strike seemed to resonate with their hearts, whenever the hammer strikes, their hearts will tremble. In front of the billowing forge, there was a bulky figure who was the source of these sounds.
He had a worn out bandana on hos forehead, his white hair was neatly tied up to a bun. His figure screamed extreme masculinity as his stern face concentrated towards his work. He was bare chested, countless of scars and burnt marks could be seen on it's surface yet each muscle of his screamed in vigor.
”Chief, this is the child that I was talking about.” The lady softly said as she retreated to the side.
The hammering stopped, the old man threw his craft back to the kiln and placed the materials on the table. He reached for a towel to wipe off his sweat and turned around.
Raven smiled, he almost blurted out: 'Good to see you again old friend.' Good thing he didn't. He bowed and introduced himself: ”Greetings Chief Jonathan, my name is Vendrick Valorheart, Raven's my nickname. It is a pleasure to meet you.”
