Chapter 22

Perfect Plan Set

Catie’s part (lvl 7 inventorial s)

I managed to get my store’s skill level to 15, the maximum for all the levels is 50 for the superclass, so it wasn’t that high. However, I thought it was enough for my plan. By the way, storing things actually gives a little exp, but it was an insanely miniscule amount. I was at the peak of level 6 about 10 days ago. So I became lvl 7 couple days ago just from storing. Should have explained this earlier. Anyways, I have recently arrived at the hero’s sanctuary. Just as always it has tons of people waiting to pull the hero’s sword. On and on, uninteresting people come up, try, and then leave without anything happening. I wait and wait, then…

It's now somebody else's turn. That somebody is definitely interesting. He has a sigil knight commander’s armor, with a sword that I have never seen before in my life. Actually I have seen it before, but only in books. This is the Rasen’s sword. It transformed from the normal tundra mythril sword to Rasen’s sword when Raven and Rasen managed to defeat the Tal empire. That must mean that this is Rasen. Raven the Protector’s brother, not biologically but it still counts. “Power for the Orderly '' with this, everybody in the sanctuary starts glorying. Must have been a buff anybody orderly near the certain radius can receive. Then he continues on with buffs, with skills like “Commander’s Enchant”, “Advanced Body of the Sigil”, “Hardening Buff”, “Raven’s Protection”, “Protection of the Lolrena”. Crowd is cheering on at this point, most of the crowd has already realized that this is Rasen. He came prepared and ready to pull this thing. He starts to pull the sword. Crowd’s cheering increases. The sword, actually budges a little. Then he starts to pull harder. For a moment, I thought he would actually succeed. Lights glowing from the sword are to the point of blinding now. The excitement and the pulse is washing over me. Then, it all stopped. Everybody was hallering,

“Did Rasen succeed?” all at once. It was very confusing to see. However, I knew that he didn’t succeed. I couldn’t see him, but I just knew. I also knew, from the brain this time, that he must have fainted. Any serious tries that get the sword to glow would faint the person who was trying to pull. Unfortunately for me, the person in charge announces that the trial for pulling the hero’s sword will pause for 20 minutes. Listening to that, I decide to venture around the hero’s sanctuary. Forgot to tell you, my race is actually katolisian. So I have an innate skill called ‘Carrier’ and it happens that Carrier also works with my enlarged inventory. So my inventory, how large, will always become two times larger than when I wasn’t Katolisian. Usually Katolisian is considered not a good race for progression, but in this case, I am thankful that I am Katolisian.

No more race talks, I am not racist.

After looking around at the hero's statue and other kinds of ancient things, I decided to go to the medical room. When I get there, I see a person sitting in the chair while a doctor does tons of checks on him.

“That must be a Rasen,” I murmured. Rasen must have a really good hearing though, because he actually hears me murmuring.

“Huh? Who’s there? Are you looking for me, young one?” he replies back.

“Mmm… yes, I have something to ask you for.” I start the conversation with a careful voice.

“Ask away, it’s not like I can’t go anywhere right now.” He chuckles.

“Can you ask the person in charge if I could try out the sword pulling after the pause is over?”

“Huh? Isn’t that simply just cutting? Cutting is not a good thing my friend.” he says with a concerned voice.

“I gotta do something that might also get the sword to glow like you did.” I start off carefully. This made him curious,

“Oh… then mmm… what is it?” he asks in curiosity.

“Can you tell the person in charge to make me go first though? You can see what I do when I do it.” I ask in a pleading voice and then add “Please? I am not lying when I say it could make the sword glow.”

“Alright, alright, I don’t know if he would let you go first even if I ask, but I’ll try.” he replies with a calm voice.

“Thank you SO MUCH!” I exclaim in excitement. My plan is set now, I hope it works.
