Chapter 97 - New Equipment (2/2)

”It will take me a while but I think I can work on it.” The owner replied.

Ray was happy. The gauntlets were a gift from the old man. He currently didn't have his own set and gauntlets were a rare item so the shop didn't sell any. He relied on the gauntlets a lot these days, since he mainly used martial arts to fight rather than his sword.

Ideally, he would have loved for Killer to have dropped a sword instead of a spear. The spear was currently useless to him and was hidden under Ray's bed with a whole load of other things. Ray currently didn't have anywhere to put them so this was his only option.

Ray could buy a spatial manipulation bag, but they costed a fortune. A tier ten mage had to inscribe the bag with a specific advanced tier crystal. So not only were they expensive but also rare.

Ray decided to go for a walk around the academy while waiting for his gauntlets to be repaired. While walking around, he saw one of the red sash squires giving a tour of the academy to a crowd of people. The crowd was filled with parents, nobles, merchants and even adventurers.

”And further down the hall, we have the blacksmithing area. Inside the blacksmithing area, there is a shop where students are able to buy and sell equipment. It is also a space used by students of the blacksmithing club who wish to learn how to forge beast equipment.” The red squire knight said as he walked past.

As the nobles walked past Ray, they couldn't help but start to whisper to themselves.

”Isn't that the red-haired boy who was in the tournament?”

”Yes, I think your right, how scary.”

Ray walked past the crowd of people and decided to ignore them. As he walked past, he noticed the adventures carrying really nice equipment. The upside of being an adventurer was you often went out on quests to slay magical beasts giving you many opportunities to obtain strong crystal cores.

Then a light bulb moment came to Ray's mind as he saw the adventurers walk past. Ray quickly rushed back to his room and went looking under his bed. Everyone else had already left the room in preparation for their upcoming match which was perfect for Ray.

Underneath Ray's bed, he pulled a small chest and with the touch of his finger, the chest unlocked. The chest was inscribed with magic so only the user was allowed to open the chest. Of course, if you had greater Ki or magic then the spell inscribed, someone could break it.

Ray opened the chest and took out the ten intermediate beast crystals.

He went over to the girls' side of the room where they had a long full body mirror.

Suddenly, a white mist surrounded Ray's entire body. Then slowly the mist started to disappear. Out of the mist came a black-haired handsome man wearing all sorts of high-end beast gear. Although Ray currently looked impressive and looked like a strong adventurer, everything was currently an illusion created from his skill, transform.
