Juin quickly pulled Cyrus back and smiled nervously as he said, "Ah, my silly little brother, you can use my weapon."
Cyrus' facial expression changed when he realized that he nearly said that he wasn't allowed to turn into his beast form. "I'm sorry," he whispered guiltily.
Juin merely patted his back to reassure him. He then looked at Tucker and asked, "I'm allowed to choose one, right? I already have a weapon, so I can choose one for Cyrus instead."
"You have one?" Tucker asked curiously. He had not heard about this.
Juin nodded. He then took out his dagger from his Dimensional Pouch and showed it to Tucker. When Tucker tried to take it, Juin got defensive and pulled it back.
"Oh, come on!" Tucker sighed and walked around Juin with a disappointed expression.
When Juin turned his head to follow Tucker's movement, he felt something hitting his left hand, and when he turned back, his dagger was gone… and was held by Tucker's dragon, which was now the size of an arm. "What the…"
"Spirit beast… As much as the practice is disgusting, you can't deny that they are kinda useful, right?" Tucker smirked as he took the dagger from his dragon, which then curled around his neck like a scarf.
"You!" Juin sighed angrily, but there was nothing he could do, so he just stood there quietly as Tucker took a cursory glance at the dagger.
"Beautiful…" Tucker's eyes lit up as he appreciated the beauty of the dagger. "I can feel the power within the weapon itself…" he murmured as he flipped the dagger around. "This dagger… It has been passed around a couple of times…"
"Be careful!" Juin warned loudly when he saw that Tucker was about to touch the sharp edge of the knife.
When Tucker opened his eyes and saw the worried expression on Juin's face, he could not help but chuckle. However, he still pulled his hand away from the sharp edge before handing the weapon back to Juin, who then quickly put it back into his Dimensional Pouch.
"You have already created a Dimensional Pouch, as well as a high ranked weapon in your possession," Tucker said with a slight frown. "That means that you are more advanced than I thought. I have to seriously redo my teaching plan… You aren't even a real beginner!"
"Erm… Sorry?" Juin mumbled as he handed the sword to Cyrus.
With a sigh, Tucker waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It's no big deal. We just have to skip 5 out of my 10-Step Guide to Teaching an Idiot."
"What?" Juin rolled his eyes.
"Hey, I'm a certified genius, so everyone else is an idiot to me," Tucker said proudly. He then looked at Cyrus, who was having trouble playing with the sword that was almost his height, and said, "Maybe you should take back the sword. Cyrus, here!"
He threw Cyrus his hunting knife and said, "You can keep that."
"But it's bonded to you," Cyrus said, catching the knife easily.
"I've ended the bond. It's now ownerless. Just put in your soul power and bond with it."
For low level weapons, the bonds could be easily broken. However, he reckoned that for one like the dagger in Juin's possession, that bond could only be broken once the owner either got too weak to repress and control the strength of the weapon, or he or she died off.
Hearing him, Cyrus smiled brightly before injecting some of his soul power into the hunting knife. In his hand, the hunting knife glowed in a soft golden light.
"You don't really have the powers of elements, but your strength and speed are topmost. Having weapons that are too big or heavy would only weigh you down. Keep to the smaller weapons. Weapons work differently in the hands of different people. While I can create cuts that can burn through stuff, in your hand, that knife can possibly cut through the toughest rocks," Tucker lectured while Cyrus brandished the hunting knife around.
"I like it!" Cyrus said happily before asking the dragon to fight him.
While the two were playing on one side, Tucker Lee said to Juin, "Keep the sword to yourself. Your weapon is too strong, and you might hurt the other kids during sparring session, so it's better if you get a normal rank weapon for now."
"There's a sparring session?"
"Well, yeah… Actually, it's more like elimination session. The Battle is looming around the corner, so we don't have time to lose. Presley wanted me to train you and get you up to par with the best among your generation. To increase the chances of the Order winning the battle, we will par the best with the best. Everyone's performance will be reviewed, and every eligible kids would be put against each other, in order to determine the groups that they would be in. Of course, the higher in rank you are, the more resources you can get. And you'd want to fight for the resources," Tucker explained.
He then stretched his body as he said, "Well, come on now… Start stretching as well… We are going to have a sparring session between you and me, until one of us fall from exhaustion…"
"But…" He wanted to argue that it would obviously be him, but in the end, he decided not to. Even if he would be the one to fall first, this would still be a good learning experience, so he told himself to suck it up for now.
Tucker's training was a hundred times worse than Lucifer's training, and the latter was a demon!
By 8 p.m., Juin was completely exhausted, both physically and mentally, while Tucker was still full of energy.
"Alright, it's a good first day. Take a good rest. Don't bother training in your Soul Dimension. You need proper rest to heal since we are going at it again tomorrow. Also, for the little friend in you…" Tucker thought for a while before saying, "I'll put in a slot to train the two of you together. I know…"
"He. It's a he." Juin volunteered while panting heavily. After the training, his lungs felt as if they were about to burst out from his c.h.e.s.t cavity. Tucker made him run by constantly throwing intense fireballs at him, while prohibiting him to use any shields, and these fireballs would sometimes move in straight trajectory, and sometimes, they would suddenly smack him in a face when he thought he had clearly avoided them.
"I know he's listening, so I'll tell this to you. I don't want you to rely on the demon's power. I've heard about the fight with Luca, and if I'm not wrong, the demon was the one who did it right?"
Juin nodded.
"And you fainted a few minutes after that. We need to get your endurance up, especially during the merge between the two of you, but I don't want you to rely on him while you are still in training. Especially not when you are sparring with the other kids."
"... Why?" Not that he intended to rely on Lucifer the whole time, but he was curious as to why Tucker warned him so.
"Because you should get stronger on your own," Tucker said nonchalantly, but the truth was that he wanted to protect his only student. His student managed to learn so many things on his own despite having only been possessed recently… This told him that the demon within Juin's body wasn't a normal run-of-the-mill demon.
If during their merge, the demon's true strength was found out, Tucker felt that Presley might plot something against Juin.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Juin quickly pulled Cyrus back and smiled nervously as he said, "Ah, my silly little brother, you can use my weapon."
