"What Katana did you choose, Gwen?" Ryan moved towards Gwen, she was standing only a few meters away from Ryan.

Gwen was sure that this is the sword she wants, "This model." She raised her hand in front of her face to show Ryan the Katana she choose for herself, 'I should help him now.' she thought to herself.

"Why Katana though? You would have gone for a normal sword,"

"Nah, I feel comfortable with a katana." Yeah, you do, Gwen. Just state that you do not want to be away from Ryan. You want to wield even the same weapon as Ryan does.

"This?" Ryan glanced up and down on the katana, "Should not you just.. you know, should color that thing?" Ryan suggested. That Katana was.. colorless. It had a silver coating around it.

"Ah, I was waiting for your opinion about that." Gwen looked shyly away.

Ryan used his vision skill on Gwen's katana.

'It has more losses than profits.' Ryan frowned.

"Are you sure you want to wield that Katana?" and god, what is up with that name? Ryan frowned again.

"Yeah.. see, it is coated perfectly with the right amount of metal.. or whatever they use. Its cuts are perfect for a basic tier katana. The right proportion of weight around its body. Perfect for me, I would say."

"Ryan, change the view. You looked at the katana from your perspective."

"Okay. now that is amazing." Ryan nodded his head.

"Yeah? Thanks!" Gwen jumped, "Let me choose one for you."

'God, she is an angel.' Ryan was facing trouble choosing the right Katana. Gwen was ready to help him, he trusts Gwen too, so why not?

Gwen quickly went near the stand where katanas were displayed. It did not take her more than three seconds to pull out three Katanas.

'...' Ryan was speechless, 'Is she randomly picking up some Katanas, or did she do her homework?'

While Gwen was swiping through the catalog of Katanas, she was not only looking for a Katana for herself, but also for Ryan.

"Take these three katanas one by one and tell me where do you think the majority weight of the katana goes to."

Ryan silently grabbed the swords offered to him by Gwen, one by one.

< Item: Basic Tier Katana >

< Tier: Basic >

< Changes in Stats:

Strength: +9

Agility: -3

Stamina: -6 >

"No." Ryan rejected the katana at once, "It is too big for me. I do not think I will be able to swing it."

"Thought so," Gwen frowned, "Try this one." she handed him another sword.

< Item: Manji Katana >

< Tier: Basic >

< Changes in Stats:

Strength: +11

Agility: -7

Stamina: -3 >

"Ah, it feels too heavy now."

"Ah? But it is a pretty good katana. See, it is not too long and.. pretty normal weight."

"I mean, its weight is in its grip. Which makes it even harder to carry around. It is heavy for me,"

"Fine. This is the last one, check this out. If you do not like it, I will go through the catalog once again.. you know what, I will start doing it." she turned around while Ryan held this katana in his hand.

Gwen raised the two katanas, with a slight push, she pushed the Basic Tier katana back into the display. Yes, this is Metaverse.

With another push, she pushed the Manji katana back into its place. As if it never happened. The pixels of the display screen shook a little bit while accepting the katana.

Ryan looked at the katana in his hand, 'Its design is pretty cool.' Ryan thought.

The katana had black curves on its blades. It was not too long, not too short. Not too heavy, not too light either. Just the perfect of what a swordsman needs.

Its grip was covered in black cloth, the white part of the blade was shining under the bright lights. Its curve from the tip was perfect. Although Ryan knew very little, he could tell, this sword will have a positive impact on his stats.

< Item: Futsuu no Katana >

< Tier: Intermediate >

< Changes in Stats

Stamina: +1 >

"Looks like I just hit a jackpot." Ryan gulped. He looked around. Nobody had noticed, between basic tier weapons, Ryan was holding an intermediate Tier weapon.

Luck? "You are lucky." Professor giggled.

"Gwen." Ryan called her with a smile, "This katana is the best!"

"Yeah? Good!"

"Why not you too get this katana? I mean, of course, you know more but.. if you can, then please chose the same katana you chose for me. This katana is amazing!"

Ryan was not sure if other models of this same Katana will be intermediate or not. But, what is wrong with trying? If possible, Ryan will give his sword to Gwen, if she likes it.

Gwen felt a breeze of air gush her face, her eyes went wide, 'H- he wants me to have to same.. he wants us to have the same katana!' she got it totally wrong.

"S- sure! I am fine with it." Ryan got an unexpected reaction from Gwen.

'Okay, but.. why so happy?' Ryan was confused.

"Wait, I will choose the same katana." Gwen pulled out the same katana but with different colors, "Uh, do you want our colors to be the same or.."

"It would be better if we chose two different colors." Gwen got back to work. She pulled another katana.

"This?" She held a beautiful, brown blade, a black color sword. Ryan's was still similar. His blade was black, his katana was also black.

"Wait.. a second.." Ryan activated his skill.

< Item: Futsuu no Katana >

< Tier: Intermediate Tier >

< Changes in Stats of Gwen Stacy-

Strength: +35 >

'A whooping 35?!' his eye went wide.

< Agility: +5

Stamina: +4 >

'Looks like it has different changes on everybody. But, it is cooler than the previous katanas.'

"But.. I did not this name.. F- F- Fu-"

"Futsuu. It means normal in Japanese."

"Eh.. Normal Katana? What kind of name is that?" She giggled.

"Uh.." Satoru coughed, "Please confirm your weapon by submitting your weapon's ID which will be displayed on the top of the weapon in, three.. two, there."

A window popped up above the weapons students were holding in their hands. It read the title of the weapon, its ID, and.. its Tier.

As soon as Gwen saw that, her eyes went wide, she glanced at Ryan. Ryan was already gesturing for her to keep it down.

"We do not want to let go of this chance."

"But.."

"Come on, it is fine!" Ryan patted Gwen's shoulder.

"Damn.. Intermediate.." she examined the sword.

"Maybe this is a mistake.. but we got to use this for the better." It must have been a replacing mistake, which should not happen in a high-tech world.

But it was no mistake that the katana was an intermediate one. If it was not for Ryan's Vision, it would have been considered a mistake if the screen displayed Futsuu no Katana's tier as intermediate.

"It feels like cheating."

"Who cares? If you win, nobody will care whether you cheated or not, as long as it does not come out that we cheated. And we are not cheating, we just got lucky!"

Gwen looked worried, Ryan grabbed her hand. They both did what was necessary to send their weapon ID through the digital pad.

"Good.." Satoru sighed, then took a deep breath, "I have received everybody's confirmation. I hope you all are sure cause these will be your permanent weapons. You will be able to change these only once in your lifetime, till you find yourself a better weapon."

Satoru started glancing all over the room, his eyes catching Hiroshi, "Now you are satisfied, are not you, Nohara Hiroshi-Kun?"

Hiroshi, without looking at Satoru, started nodding his head lightly, "Pretty much. What is next, sir?" he asked.

Satoru turned around and let a smile spread over his face, "Good question," he grinned, "Next thing on our list is.. a Virtual Reality game made with the use of blockchain. Let us take you to the metaverse."

'What a surprise, it exists.' Ryan thought sarcastically, 'VR games..?'
