Unleashed Power
Chapter 36

Lacy put her hand on her chin. The girl looked around for weapons suitable for her for this survival exam.

Actually, Lacy was used to wearing two swords to fight. But, for some reason he wanted to fight with one sword today. However, he could not find a good sword for himself.

The girl continued to surround the school's arsenal with her face bent. No weapon caught his attention. He needed the sword immediately.

Lacy let out a tired sigh as she had traveled many times, but did not find what she wanted. The girl snorted annoyed. He extended his hand at the sword he once wielded at the entrance examination. However, before his hand touched the sword, his eyes were fixed on something shining under the shelf.

Lacy lowered her head and found a sword that seemed to have fallen down the shelf. He stretched out his hand to get the sword.

Lacy frowned confused. At first glance, the sword looks ordinary. The design is not so unique. In fact, his sword eyes were already blunt. The sword seemed to have been unused for a long time. Lacy concluded that the sword had been dropped and hidden under the shelf for a long time.

Well~actually for a blunt sword eye, Lacy can still sharpen it. The girl also chose the sword not based on its design. There is no harm in taking the sword, right?

Eventually, Lacy goes to the school's armory keeper to tell him she's going to borrow the sword. Yeah, borrowing. The school allows students to borrow weapons available at the school. Students must not take school-owned weapons for personal weapons.

However, when Lacy showed the sword she had taken to the guard, she casually said, "Take it for yourself. I'll talk to the principal. Consider it a gift for having found it."

Lacy frowned confused. It can, he thought. At first, Lacy refuses and says that she will only borrow it until the survival exam is over. But the guard also did not want to lose. He kept telling the girl to just take it. So, inevitably Lacy accepted the offer with joy. The girl left the guard with a happy face.

Shortly after Lacy left, Eden came to the warehouse guard while looking at Lacy who had gone far away.

"Hello Ian, is there anything interesting? You look very happy" Eden told the guard.

Ian, the armory guard, chuckled. He said, "Of course I'm happy, the sword you put away is finally found."

The face of Eden who was initially smiling, turned stiff after hearing Ian's words. The man did not even hear Ian's rant about how hard it was to find Eden's sword.

Eden was busy with her own thoughts. The man looked directly at Lacy who was no longer visible. He immediately left Ian who was constantly calling himself. Eden ran after Lacy.

The man continued to shout inwardly, "Don't let it, don't let it." with a frustrated face. Somehow the authoritative and usually calm man became this frustrated just because of a sword.

The distance between Eden and Lacy is getting closer. However, before the man actually stopped Lacy, she was called by Arnold. With a resigned face, she saw Lacy back away from her.

"What's wrong? Why is your face like that?" ask Arnold.

Eden shakes. He said, "There's nothing, I'm just walking around looking at the existing protector. What are you looking for me for?"

"There are a lot of documents waiting for your approval, including the issue of intruders in the backwoods of the school as well" Arnold said.

"Oh, right too. Did you find the culprit?"

Arnold shook his head. He also had days of trouble looking for the intruder. He even theorized that the intruder was disguised and entered the school environment. Either as a student, as a teacher, or as a staff.

Arnold breathed. He was too tired of this job. He just wants to relax and enjoy his day, not work like a deadbeat every day. If that day had come, he thought.

Eden shook his head. Although, she still has to meet Lacy, but she can't delay her work anymore. Just so you know, before Arnold came to pick me up, Eden came out to find some serenity from his work piling up. Well~work as a principal is not easy.

Finally, Eden and Arnold went to the headmaster's room to return to work waiting for them.

"Oh, are you guys done?"

Lacy frowned confusedly as she met her group of friends walking away from the place earlier. He just wanted to help them.

"Already, now we are looking for the core makers. Did you find a weapon?" said Emil.

Lacy nodded and pointed out the sword she was carrying. He continued, "But the sword is still blunt, I still have to sharpen it."

Now all those who frowned were confused. The sword that Lacy was displaying didn't look special at all. It was a really bad sword, and it looked ancient. Kannon even commented, "Aren't you willing to take another sword? There are still many good swords in this school's arsenal."

However, Lacy shook her head. He reasoned that he liked the sword very much. Just a little polish, then the sword will become a very useful weapon for him.

They all exchanged looks. They can't beat the girl. Finally, the Mage took out a knife sharpener from his magic bag. He gave it to Lacy. Meanwhile, Kannon helps Lacy to wet the sword and grindstone so as not to dry. What a great collaboration.

Some time passed. Lacy's done sharpening her sword. The sword looked extremely shiny and sharp. The sword also looked very clean like new. Everyone was amazed, except for the Mage who only stayed to see the sword.

"Well, the sword is like a different sword from the one before" Cecilia praised.

"Yes, pretty. Not too bad," Kannon added.

Lacy smiled proudly at the compliments coming out of her friends. However, his gaze was fixed on the Mage who was only silent with a face that was difficult to explain.

"Why Mage? Is something wrong?" ask Lacy.

"Ah, no. How did you find that sword?"

"Oh, I found it under the shelf. I think this sword is falling and being kicked down the shelf. Fortunately I saw something shining from there," Lacy said with a cheer.

The Mage just nodded his head in silence. He was constantly staring at the sword with a strange look.

"Ah, stop. That's not important, let's find the core maker of the other group. I want to finish this exam immediately" Gerald said.

The young man immediately stepped out his feet leaving them, followed by the others behind. Except, the Mage was still silent. After seeing his friend slightly move away from him, he muttered, "I found him."

Then, the Mage ran after his friends with a smile, like nothing had happened.
