After Charlie Stone's long speech finally ended, the students slowly began to relax.
Some stretched.
Some whispered.
Some just stood there, still processing everything.
Charlie Stone walked toward Finn Foster and began discussing something quietly.
Meanwhile, the students were told to move to the training ground.
As they reached the ground, conversations started.
David and Daniel walked toward a tall boy holding a heavy weapon.
"That's Doom Star, right?" David said. "Looks powerful."
The boy smiled slightly.
Daniel asked, "What's your name?"
"Felix," he replied. "Felix Phillips."
David laughed a little. "Felix Phillips… sounds confusing."
Felix just smiled.
Suddenly—
Smack.
Daniel lightly hit David's arm.
"Don't say things like that," he said.
David rubbed his arm. "Okay, okay…"
"Wow… you got Thorn."
Daniel turned.
Mary was standing there.
Her eyes were on his weapon.
"It's a very rare one," she said softly.
Daniel looked at her… again that same feeling.
"I… I didn't expect it," he replied.
For a moment, he forgot what he was about to say next.
Mary smiled slightly.
Then she looked at David.
"And you got Fang… four blades. That's impressive."
David grinned proudly. "Of course."
Zoya Thrones and Lily Watson walked toward them.
"So it's true," Zoya said, looking at Daniel.
"You got Thorn."
Lily nodded. "That's not a normal weapon."
Mary added, "And both of you got strong ones too. Stone and Trident are powerful."
The three girls soon walked toward another student.
Lucy Edward.
"Wow," Lily said, "you got a katana-style blade."
"It looks perfect in your hands," Mary added.
Lucy smiled slightly. "Thank you"
Nearby, Daniel walked toward another boy.
"Hey," he said, "nice sword."
The boy looked at him calmly.
"Noah," he said. "Noah Roberts."
Daniel raised his eyebrows.
"Roberts? That's an Upper Dynasty name, right?"
David joined them. "Upper Dynasty?"
Daniel nodded.
"There are four Upper Dynasties," he said.
"Roberts, Williams, Blackwood… and Thrones."
David's eyes widened.
"Wait… that means Zoya is also from one?"
Noah nodded again.
David smiled. "Three Upper Dynasties in one batch… that's crazy."
Daniel stayed quiet.
"ATTENTION!"
Charlie Stone's voice echoed.
Everyone immediately stood straight.
"Now," he said, walking slowly in front of them,
"we begin your weapon training."
"Remember this—
your weapon is your friend."
"If your weapon is not your friend…
you will lose every fight."
"And maybe… your life."
Silence.
"Now, I will guide each of you."
David Smith –Four Fangs
Stone looked at him.
"Four blades. Control them with your mind and hands."
David frowned slightly. "With mind?"
"Feel them," Stone said. "Don't just hold them."
Mary Brown – Bow
"Bow and arrow," Stone said.
"If your focus is strong… your arrow will never miss."
Mary nodded and moved to practice.
Noah Roberts – Storm Sowrd
"You are from Upper Dynasty," Stone said.
Noah stayed calm.
"Storm can control thunder and energy. Practice on targets."
Lily Watson – Split
"Your weapon requires control," Stone said.
"Hold the handle. Rotate it. Balance it."
Lily nodded seriously.
Zoya Thrones – Trident
Stone looked at her carefully.
"Another Upper Dynasty…"
"Your weapon works best with control and environment. Try using it near water."
Lucy Edward – Blade Sowrd
"Simple doesn't mean easy," Stone said.
"Master your balance. Your blade must move with precision."
Felix Phillips – Doom Star
"A heavy weapon," Stone said.
"But in the right hands… unstoppable."
Felix grinned.
Daniel Williams – Thorn
Finally, Stone stood in front of Daniel.
He looked at the weapon carefully.
"…Thorn."
Even he seemed unsure for a moment.
"This weapon is rare," he said.
"I don't know everything about it."
Daniel tightened his grip.
"But for now," Stone continued,
"treat it like a living weapon."
"Don't force it."
"Understand it."
Daniel nodded slowly.
