I was woked up by sobody, knocking on my door.
- Woke up Peter! - Yelled Amit.
I grunted and turned in my bed. I didn't want to get up when I just fell asleep after the whole night of planning. Those bastards - I thought to myself.
In the end, I got out of the bed and went to open the door.
- We just got the first sword and shield samples from Jayadeva. Hatta and I believe you should be there to check them with us. Besides, he told you have so informations to share.
- From Rishi, not Jayadeva. And seriously, that's why you are waking up?
- It's not that early, and yes, I should have said from Rishi. Just co. We need to verify and plan.
I sighed.
- I hate you.
- Just co.
- Tam, stay here. I'll be back soon - I said to my chicken, and then turned back to Amit. - Lead the way.
I followed him all the way to the Hatta's office. Hungry, angry, and tired. The leader of Wuxia was present, just as Jayadeva. A simple wooden shield and basic sword lied on the desk, waiting to be checked.
- Finally - said craftsman. - Please, take them, and tell what you think.
He pointed at the items. Both Amit and Hatta focused on like I was so kind of quality assurance checker.
- Cant you do it yourself?
- Just quit your grumbling, and take them - said Hatta, clearly annoyed.
I touched the sword's handle and imdiately felt it. This very faint tingling in my fingers. There was definitely sothing odd about this weapon.
I picked it up and looked closer. The craftsmanship was very poor, the balancing of the blade off, and yet I still gad this thought that the weapon itself is special.
I turned away from them and swung few tis. It only assured that swords weren't my thing.
- Strike the shield with it - said Jayadeva.
- How about you strike the shield, while I hold it? - I proposed, grabbing the sword by the blade, and presenting it to the engineer with the handle at the front.
He grabbed it.
- Very well.
I took the shield and held it up for the attack. Jayadeva swung with all his might. Few sparks shot out as both items collided. The shield was undamaged, just as the blade.
- Ok... Give the sword.
We switched, and I grabbed the weapon in both hands, trying to break it. I was way stronger than a normal person but still couldn't break it. I couldn't even bend it a little.
- This looks good - I summarised.
- See? I told you - Jayadeva said, turning to Hatta.
The leader of Wuxia smiled.
- Tell again, how long did it take? - he asked.
- We bought both of those in the device. Just to check how it will work, and then every single item took Rishi around four hours per item to enhance them. He can make them better, but it will require more ti.
Jayadeva seed to be excited. He was trying to hold his emotions, but his voice betrayed him.
- I believe this is enough enhancent for regular soldiers. Just next ti enhance sothing of a better quality... - I pointed out.
- We will be expecting a delivery soon then. Tell us if you need anything more - said Hatta.
- We will need more crystals for sure. I didn't forget what you did to my family, but in the end, it worked out, so I'm willing to put that behind us. But never do that again! - he even shook his finger at Hatta.
- We do apologize for that and are happy about the cooperation. I believe we can bring you those crystals, but first, we would want to see the weapons - Hatta replied.
- Exchange? - proposed Jayadeva.
- What? - asked Amit, half surprised, half amused. - You just got quite a lot of crystals, and class points thanks to us. Don't you think you owe us?
- If we get more, we can also achieve more.
- Just bring what you owe, for now, then we will talk about more.
- Prepare the weapons and armors, I will get you those crystals, but you have to pay back what you owe first - I joined the quarrel.
He sighed.
- Fine. Fine.
I knew exactly why he was so greedy. Finally, the craftsn had a chance to an sothing in this city. He had to strike while the iron was still hot. He needed to push for more. For him, there was no other option. I actually respected that.
- If that's all guys, I'm going to eat sothing now I hope you won't bother with your bullshit.
- Yeah, yeah. Just go Peter - said Amit.
I looked at Hatta, but he ignored , too focused on his own thoughts, so I left.
I went to the cafeteria, to eat sothing, then took a bath. Cleaned up, and with a full stomach, I went to get Tam, and look for Nadia. She was working. Checking the supplies in the cafeteria's kitchen.
We followed her for a bit until she was finished, and then hang out together.
- I'll be going back to hunt tomorrow - I suddenly told her, as we were walking and talking about minor things.
- You just co and go those days.
- Yeah. I know. But there is a lot of work with the Jayadeva. You probably heard already, didn't you?
- Yes. I'll probably be supervising that very soon.
- Good.
- Hatta actually wants to put in charge of a club similar to Velvet Lotus. That's only in plans for now, though. He told that you know about those plans.
- I do.
- So... When can I expect you again?
- I think around two weeks. Will and the rest should be coming back around that ti, and I want to hear how it all went. Besides, I should have enough crystals by then, and maybe there will be a period of a break after. At least I hope it will.
She suddenly stopped, then ca closer to kiss .
- Co - she said, grabbed my hand, and started to pull .
I gave up and walked with her. After a mont I knew exactly where we are going. To her room. I believe you can imagine what happened next.
The day ca to an end with 427 430 points remaining on my account.
