Blessing in Disguise (3)
***
Since entering the academy, so many things have happened. That was Luna’s thought.
Initially, she met Sivar, who was living as a wild man, and after that, demons and various other incidents occurred.
She wanet stronger.
‘Did she just... split the sky...?’
Luna was gradually getting stronger through hard work every weekend.
Today, she witnessed the pinnacle of strength with her own eyes. A mere human split the sky.
It’s not even something you read about in novels or poems. Rize punched the sky, and it split in two.
His. It’s different from breaking or cutting space.
“How long will it take to recover?”
“Resting well for a week should do it. But first, let’s check the results since Lord Gulak has responded.”
The person who split the sky was calm.
Although her once ample chest had disappeared, it was a small price compared to splitting the sky.
‘No, that’s still strange.’
Luna stared at Rize’s chest. It was flat enough to be called a cliff.
To the extent that even she felt bigger. And for the record, she wasn’t that small.
Ie standards. Really.
‘What kind of god is Lord Chaos...’
She never imagined her chest would literally be a ‘pocket.’ But ironically, it was very chaotic.
Luna shook her head, feeling like all common sense was shattered.
Thinking too much made her head hurt. It was better to just accept it coolly.
“Looks like it’s over. Should we go too?”
“...Let’s.”
Luna nodded at Ellie’s suggestion and started walking.
The altar, where lightning had poured down like a waterfall, looked surprisingly intact.
“Holy Warrior, is this what you looked like before you were blessed by Lord Chaos?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
“It’s really like a pocket. Amazing.”
“As I grew, they grew too. It should be comfortable for a while.”
While Ellie and Rize chatted, Luna approached Sivar.
Kara was standing next to Sivar, and they were observing something intently.
“Sister, isn’t it all over?”
“Huh? Oh, you’re here.”
Luna greeted Kara but couldn’t stop her gaze from drifting downward.
Even as a woman, she couldn’t help but be drawn to the outfit. Especially those strong abs, which were oddly stimulating.
She had been working out diligently under Rize, but her muscles didn’t develop well. Especially her abs, which didn’t show at all.
In that sense, Kara’s body was Luna’s ideal. Though Rize was too much even to consider.
“Ragnarok is fully repaired. But there’s something off about it.”
“What’s different?”
“It’s too different. Want to see?”
Luna shifted her gaze from Kara and looked at the altar.
As Kara mentioned, the restored Ragnarok lay on the altar, but it looked a bit strange.
“Huh? The color...”
Originally, Ragnarok was a black axe. Its blade was rather blunt.
It was originally a ceremonial axe, and with a hammer part, it was specialized for ‘breaking.’
“The color is unusual, right? It seems to have merged with the Usk axe.”
But the restored Ragnarok was different. The axe blade had turned white.
It looked like the dangerous part was painted separately. It seemed sharp enough to cut just by looking.
The hammer part was the same, painted white like the blade.
“My Usk...”
“Don’t be too disappointed. You’re the only one using it for now, right? Be grateful that Lord Gulak repaired it. Anything more is greedy.”
While Kara consoled the disappointed Sivar, Luna observed Ragnarok.
The addition of white to the originally black Ragnarok made it look cooler.
Moreover, it had grown in size. Merging two axes made it close to a battle axe.
But the handle was a bit short to call it a battle axe. It looked like a versatile weapon.
Combining with the Usk axe could only improve it, not make it worse.
‘Could it be imbued with the Holy Warrior’s divine power?’
Rize’s divine power is the will of Chaos. That might be why the axes merged into one.
Luna stared at Ragnarok for a while, then focused her eyes to check its details.
[Chaos Ragnarok: SS+]
[A newly reborn axe through the collaboration of chaos and destruction.]
[Originally a ceremonial axe, Ragnarok has gained a new form imbued with chaos. The blade will cut anything, and the hammer will destroy everything.]
[Special Effect: Thunder]
It wasn’t bad to give up comfortably. When the time comes, she might be able to hold it.
“Oh, I have a good idea.”
At that moment, Sivar, who had been listening to Rize’s explanation, spoke up. Everyone’s attention focused on him.
He took Ragnarok and headed down the mountain. Since everything was done, everyone followed.
“Go ahead. I’ll stay to clean up and change.”
Kara, still in her dancer’s outfit, remained at the altar for cleanup and changing.
Those who followed Sivar arrived at a familiar place.
“Sivar, do you have business with The Principal?”
“Yes.”
“...”
Sivar’s destination was the building where Rod resided. It was where Sivar used to stay.
Luna felt a vague sense of unease watching Sivar head towards the building. She had a strong feeling that he was up to something.
‘Well, it’s not me who’s going to get in trouble, it’s Sivar...’
She decided to see what he was up to. Luna chuckled to herself and followed him.
When they reached the door of Rod’s building, Sivar knocked, and a familiar voice responded.
[Come in.]
Upon hearing that, Sivar opened the door without hesitation. Luna and the others followed.
Rod was leisurely reading a book, as always, with a cup of his favorite tea beside him.
“So, what brings you here? I thought the sky splitting was your doing.”
“It was my doing, so don’t worry.”
“It was you? That’s a relief. I was worried I’d have to investigate.”
Rod must have seen the sky split. It would be strange not to notice such a spectacle.
It might cause chaos in the academy, but with a good explanation, it would be fine. Given recent events, this was minor.
“Rod, take this.”
“Hmm? Why do you have Ragnarok... Wait, it looks different. And the aura is unusual.”
When Sivar handed over Ragnarok, Rod looked puzzled.
He had no idea about Ragnarok being damaged.
So he immediately noticed the change in its appearance but didn’t know the process behind it.
“Try holding it. I mean, try holding it.”
“...”
So that was his plan. Luna realized Sivar’s mischievous(?) intent and chuckled.
Rod wasn’t chosen by Chaos, nor was he a follower of Gulak. It was highly likely he wasn’t worthy.
In other words, Sivar intended to prank Rod by giving him Ragnarok.
‘He’s such a child...’
She didn’t know if it was a joke or serious. But one thing was clear.
There was a reason Sivar was chosen by Chaos. Having lived in the wild, she let it slide.
While Luna pondered, Rod, despite his doubts, accepted Sivar’s offer without suspicion.
Crackle!
As expected, when Rod grabbed the handle, a weak spark emitted. Luna flinched.
Even a spark stung. She knew from firsthand experience.
“Hmm?”
Crackle! Crackle!
But Rod merely showed curiosity, gripping the handle despite the sparks.
Boh sheer willpower.
Meanwhile, the sparks from the axe handle intensified. It was now beyond mere sparks.
If this continued, Rod’s hand might burn. Realizing this, Sivar hurried to retrieve the axe.
“Huff!”
Clench!
Rod tightened his grip on the handle, and something unusual happened.
The sparks, which had been fiercely resisting, vanished instantly.
Instead of being held by someone worthy, it seemed to submit to Rod.
“Fascinating. Has the weapon gained a will? I need an explanation.”
“H-How did you...”
“How did I do it?”
At Sivar’s question, Rod chuckled and replied.
“Anything in my hand can be treated as a sword. And I’ve subdued countless swords in my life.”
“...”
In other words,
“Remember when I turned a twig into a sword? It’s a similar principle.”
Don’t mess with the Sword Saint.
‘Yeah, I should just give up on weapons.’
Seeing that, Luna decided to abandon her greed.
