while we continue their back story sometime, the second prince of Zescyae who had nothing to do with them asking his fatty friend "is it him? the Master swordsman? I wonder why he was so popular. It's not like he's the youngest master swordsman. The empire has many genii like him".
The Fatty replied "He's not just a Master Magic swordsman you know. at the age of 25, he is also a Master Blacksmith. It's very very rare to see someone who holds twin professions and that too at a Master level". the prince sighed "yeah, I know about that".
Ollie who just ate his lunch, while going back suddenly stopped and began to walk towards his table. The fatty who saw that "holy sh*t. he's coming this way". The second prince looked towards him curiously. Ollie stopped before him and smiled. some of the other students gathered near them with the addition of fangirls and fanboys.
Ollie then suddenly spoke in a strange language "@#$%^!(!)!_!+#()$_$" for those around, they didn't understand one thing. only the second prince who understood it and stood up in surprise "Hello, how are you?". it was just a greeting but he spoke in the ancient language of Zescyae.
Ollie then smiled brightly "judging by your reaction, you must have understood the language. just as I thought, your blonde hair, green eyes, a tradition of wearing one earring. very expensive clothes that smell of a grade 6 beast Diamond head Python king. hmm, someone from the royal family of Zescyae? second prince perhaps?"
He was taken back. the fangirls around him scream "Mr Skyrun is awesome". the fatty who was astonished on Ollie's analysis "how did you know?". at the same time, The second prince also asked: "how did you know that language?".
Ollie smiled "I guess I'm right about everything. well, I used to teach Ancient languages previously where I worked at. and also this language which was more than 2000 years old who probably only your royal family know about it. as for how I know, it was given to me by someone".
"someone?". Ollie nodded "If my memory is correct, you must have that black sword with you. don't you?". The second prince was taken back that he almost fell. "how?". Ollie then looked around "I have some business with this young man, so, please excuse me".
Ollie grabbed his shoulder and they both started to walk out of the cafeteria without paying attention to the fangirls and fanboys screams.
"don't feel tense. just be free around me. So, first of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Olirevus Skyrun". He replied "I know, you are quite popular in the academy. anyway, My name is Wucien Bethier. as you've guessed, I'm the second prince of Zescyae kingdom. Aside from my brother, father, mother, me and the prime minister, no one knows how to speak the ancient language. So, I was surprised when I hear it from you".
Ollie then smiled "as for the black sword, I was the one who forged it six months ago. for some reason, instead of going to Guild HQ, he came to a remote city branch like ours for your birthday gift.
At first, I thought maybe you two don't have a good relationship, but I learned he gave the mission to all guild branches with 500 million credits as rewards provided that it satisfied him. I heard that he collected more than 10 such swords from different branches.
Later, he met me personally and gifted me your ancient language as an additional reward for a satisfied product".
he had a change of emotions but quickly calmed himself and bowed "Thank you Mr Skyrun". Ollie waved his hand "It was made by some precious metals". Wucien then replied "although, I carry it within my inventory, honestly I can't even move it. father said that I can only bind it myself when I breakthrough to intermediate level".
Ollie then spoke "The sword can only show maximum benefits if you had an affinity with an element. If you turned out to be no affinity like others, then although, you can fight with it. it will be useless in your hand".
Wucien didn't reply anything but one can see displeasure on his face though. later, they went on their ways. after that, Ollie didn't interact with him again as they don't have anything to do with each other.
two weeks later, at Crimson Workshop, in the Training room
Ollie was meditating while absorbing a blue colour spirit core. If one looks closely, it has six various markings on it indicating that it's a spirit core taken from a grade 6 beast which has a lightning affinity.
after absorbing it completely, Ollie wasn't pleased and punch the ground in frustration "damn it, what kind of constitution I was born with. even a grade 6 beast spirit core which is useful even for a beginner grandmaster isn't enough for me. I have already stabilized in advanced, but it seems one grade 6 isn't enough for me to breakthrough to peak level, need at least couple more, but where do I find two grade 6 lightning beasts?. hmm, how about...".
he came out and asked his assistant "are there any new missions for us, Yuni?". A beautiful girl in a business suit with fake spectacles, who's still in the early twenties, a perfect image for a secretary replied: "there are a couple of things, but none for your level". Ollie stroked his chin "Hmm, so far, only one big mission has been assigned to us".
She nodded "yes. I've been interacting with the Espua branch. but they don't have many missions that can give it to us". Ollie stared at her for a few seconds. when she fell his gaze on her face for a while, she lightly blushed and asked shyly "What boss?". Ollie replied "are you an idiot? did you graduate from the Graena Business academy for real?. why in the hell are you interacting with a remote place branch guild? can't you just directly ask the HQ?".
She put her down and replied slowly "well since you are a member of branch guild, I thought it would be better to ask them. I'm sorry". Ollie looked at her sternly "did you forgot that I'm not just a Master Blacksmith but a Master Magic Blacksmith. I'm just a member of Blacksmith guild. why does it matter whether it's branch or main? I can accept it all the same".
She bowed again "I'm sorry. please don't fire me. I have a lot of debt to be cleared. This is my first job. please give me one more chance".
Ollie sighed upon seeing this rookie secretary "Fine, I'm just giving you one more chance. a secretary job is to bring missions to the company no matter what. how will you do it is not my concern. since this is your first job, I won't fire you as it won't look good on your resume. just interact with HQ and bring us some missions ok?".
