A partner weapon is something anyone would just know belongs to you and you alone.

From the moment you touch it, you will know how strong it is, its limitations to many other things about it.

When I first held Asta or Ronna, I just knew.. they were it.

I just knew they were the ones for me.

And for someone like me, who was just a normal archer and nothing more, just one perfect weapon was more than enough.

But, for Carla, who had the affinity and talent for all kinds of swords or blades, I knew just one perfect weapon won't suffice.

She was strong, and this wasn't the only sword I had that would be perfect for her.

But this was the only sword I can give her at this moment.

The weapon my master made, the special ones, are powerful beyond normal measurements.

And just from looking at this one, I could tell that if I took out higher-level ones, they would be just too much for her.

'Three eyes.'

============

[Blue Murphy]

---> A powerful sword created by a miraculous creator.

---> The sword is made from the materials of the powerful ancient creature of the past [Helicop].

---> The essence level was close to a creature of a [Indigo] ranked creature and so the sword itself is [level-12] in overall strength.

---> But the actual rank of the weapon would still be [level-10] because of the lower strength of the essence of the creature.

---> The sword has the potential to form an [Ego] in the future depending on its wielder but, it would require a special talent just to handle the high natural energy of the sword.

---> Master of the sword would receive the skill [Water current charge] which needs water to work.

---> You are as dumb as always to just give this lady one sword but, well, it's up to you.

---> And there is no need for you to worry about how I learn and talk.

============

'Yes, yes. You are a dependable one. I do not worry about you at all~. You are just awesome~.'

Chuckling at this childish skill, I looked at her radiant face.

Though I didn't know which sword would resonate with her, I didn't actually have to worry about that.

She was a being that can handle any kind of sword and from what I could tell, she will be the greatest sword wielder in the future.

But there was still a long way for her as well as all of us.

"Carla. That is a special sword my master created. By now, I believe you would know she was a special person, right?

That sword is special too, and it holds great strength.

Treat him well, and this isn't the best I possess.

Master this one first and when I think it is time, I will present them to you.

You are amazing, so I know you will get stronger soooon~."

I smiled warmly as her eyes widened in surprise.

"R-really? Better than t-this one?" she asked with genuine curiosity, and I just nodded confidently.

"But don't think much about it. Every sword is different.

You have the blessing to use any sword and although a better weapon is important, your own prowess is what decides if the weapon will follow you or not."

My words were mysterious to her right now, but I knew she will soon understand what I meant.

She was amazing so, these small things were nothing to her.

Nodding at her, I left her with her new partner and walked back to grandpa Zhen.

"Marvelous battle, young master. I felt blessed to witness such a grand battle," he stated as he stored the last remaining blades in a storage device.

Well, he was naturally a quick one and from how Lucy warned me not to 'see' him for now, I knew he was a special one too.

Well, he was a good person that was loyal to this house and his master.

"Yes, grandpa Zhen~! It was amazing~! Sister Carla was amazing, too. And thank you for being such an excellent observer throughout that chaotic fight~!" I thanked her in a merry voice, earning a surprised look.

"You knew all along?" He asked with disbelief but, with a smile on his older face.

"Hmm~! If you just stand there while giving off the presence to test me, why wouldn't I notice? Hehehe. But, you are awesome too, grandpa~!" I chucked while saying that one.

And a warm smile appeared on his face with admiration in his eyes.

"Indeed, master Eon. Hohoho. You are more amazing than me~." He laughed in his older voice and bowed his head.

"Congratulations on your victory this time, master Eon. But don't we have another match?" He asked in a louder voice, and we both looked up at the pavilion.

Anna waved at us, and I waved back and gave her a flying kiss.

And Rein was sitting just beside her, so yes...

Anna acted like she was trying to catch something and she did catch it and then put her hand in her small pocket.

And we can't help but laugh at this one.

Shaking my head at this little angel, I looked behind her, at Alf.

He was nervous, but he was confident.

He had also waited for this day and our fight was a quick one, so we had a lot of time.

We can have this match, and Carla was also done admiring her new sword.

She stored it back and walked back to us.

Grandpa Zhen handed her the storage sphere, and she thanked her with a bright smile.

Then she looked at my next opponent and shouted, "Alf! If you do well, Eon will give you something like that awesome sword~!

Don't worry about anything and just think about defeating him~!"

"Ha?! Oh... well, why not. Alf, what are you even waiting for? Come down?" I requested with a straight face, and I knew no one can tell I had no idea Carla would say anything like that out of the blue.

And this surprised her even more as she eyed me for a moment before sighing and thanking me for the last time.

Then she went back to them and sat on the other side of Zoe and Anna.

Anna even gave her a kiss and thanked her for the great battle, making me envious of her.

Zoe was also delighted by the fight and the fact that Zoe had seen everything easily surprised her more than anything but, then, she just sighed once again and patted her head.

Carla and Rein somewhat knew each other and Carla had been to this place on many errands before, so she knew many things about the family and everything else.

The really surprising thing was my grandpa and Rein's grandpa, the duke of the south were sworn brothers...?

This was unbelievable in the first place and now, if I don't hear their story, I won't be having a peaceful rest.

Being a sworn brother meant far more than just those words told, and I really wanted to know their stories.

Actually, none of us young ones had any idea about this one and I had only heard them through Celes, so aside from Rein, Zoe, and maybe Anna, well... Carla, me, and Alf had no idea.

We will talk soon anyway because this fight with my little brother would be even shorter than Carla and I had.. or far longer.

He walked to the now fixed arena and, seeing Rein's grandma's magic, was quite stunning.

Well, we were now back to standing before each other but, unlike fierce Carla, Alf had hesitation and it was totally natural after seeing that previous match.

Well, I had no desire to fight this version of Alf.

The Alfred I knew was a smart, sharp, and intelligent one.

Looking him in the eye, I nodded, and he flinched at this sudden nod.

His attention was now on me, and everyone else's, too.

"Alf, I know after watching the last one, you would be hesitant but, you don't have to fight me to prove you are a better mage than me.

We both know you aren't ready for a fight just yet so, why don't I help you a bit?"

He, as well as many, flinched at my words and I smiled at this little brother.

"Just complete the simple test I give you and... I will give you this~!" I chucked with an excited expression and took out a thick purple book from my white crack.

A confused expression appeared on his face and I knew he knew this was a diary artifact rather than some old book or magic tome, but...

"My beloved little brother, this is a one-of-a-kind book. This is the only one that exists in the world and it is invaluable to any basic magic theory book in the world.

You would be surprised to see the contents of this book and more than that, it's something I like quite a bit.

Well, if you don't get it even now... this is my personal diary for basic magic theory."

And after those words, the expression on his face changed completely, and he wasn't the only one in this place who was like that.The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l-B(j)n.
