Akiza had to get a weapon that would allow her to defeat a Demon Lord, which meant it had to at least be equal to a low level Lord Stage. The only way she would be able to do this was to sell the sword Cixi got from the blue man in armor. However, what Akiza needed was actually an Emperor Stage Artifact in order to compete with Master Saki.

Akiza and Cixi had just returned from fighting against the blue man in armor. "There's that presence watching me again," said Akiza.

"Are you sure?" asked Cixi. "I can't tell from here."

"Greetings Hero," said a voice.

"You're the receptionist!" shouted Akiza.

"That's correct," said the woman.

"Who are you?" asked Cixi.

"I'm Himiko, Kongming sent you right?" asked Himiko.

"How did you know?" asked Akiza.

"I can feel a small amount of Divine Energy from you," said Himiko. "It is quite rare at your age unless someone awakened it for you and the only Immortal besides me around here is Kongming. That and I've been keeping an eye on you since you arrived," answered Himiko.

"Why did Kongming send Akiza here?" Cixi asked.

"To do something for me, but I will explain that later," said Himiko. "By the way, Masa and Mune can modify your sword for you."

"Modify it? How?" asked Cixi.

"They have a special skill, they are able to modify the element of a weapon by using a person's Internal Energy as the catalyst," explained Himiko. "It should remain the same quality and grade, but there is the off chance it will lower in quality."

"Thank you," said Akiza.

Himiko showed Akiza and Cixi to the store. It was a store that sold numerous weapons. Akiza was interested in how shiny everything is.

"It is rare to see you here Himiko," said Masa, who was the cashier of the store.

"I have come with a special request," said Himiko.

"Oh?" said Masa. "That means you must be here tomorrow morning."

"You heard that right Akiza?" said Cixi.

"Yes, tomorrow morning, be here at Masa's place," said Akiza as she was admiring all the weapons on display.

"What element?" asked Masa.

"Water to Fire," said Cixi.

"Got it," said Masa. "Don't be late."

The next morning Cixi and Akiza went to Masa. There was another person who looked like Masa.

"There's two of you!" shouted Akiza.

"We're twins," said Mune. "I make the weapons and Masa sells them."

Akiza stared at them, she had never seen two people who looked so similar before.

"Anyways," said Masa. "We need to get to work."

"Use your fire to light the forge and furnace," said Mune.

"What are we making?" asked Masa.

"Were making this from Water to Fire," said Cixi.

"A Spirit Stage Water Sword, not bad," said Mune.

Akiza did as instructed and lit them. She watched as Mune took the blue sword and put it into the fire. When Mune took it out, the entire sword was glowing red, but Mune was not done. He took something and coated the sword with it before putting it back into the forge. Akiza watched as they hammered the sword and dipped it into oil that lit on fire as the sword touched the oil. The two continued to work on it until the sword's blade came out red.

"It changed color!" said Akiza.

"Yes, this sword is now a fire type attribute, just for you," said Masa.

The sword was exactly the same, except the blade had gone from a cold feeling with the color of blue, it had become a blade with a warm feeling and the color of orange and red.

"I've never seen or heard of this before," said Cixi.

"It is a rare technique that belongs to Mune," said Himiko. "If others were to know of this, there would be people who would want to kidnap Mune and steal the weapons of others to reforge."

"Thank you," said Akiza as she held the sword in her hand. It was kind of big, but that was normal for someone her size. When she applied her Internal Energy into it, the orange and red fire could become an intense blue. It was also the shape of a blade, something that she had been unable to do with her regular fire. Akiza tried her best to remember this feeling and flow of Internal Energy when the flaming sword was active. "This would be the key to solving this problem," she thought to herself.

"Even though you cannot change the shape of your element yet, this will work for a short period of time," said Cixi. "It will not be able to beat anyone who is at the Emperor Stage or higher, but it will give you some power that you didn't have before."

"The sword needs a name," said Masa. "Let's call it Ragnus."

"I like that name," said Akiza. She was swinging the sword in order to get the feel of it.

With this, Akiza had acquired a Spirit Stage weapon, but she was still a far way from an Emperor Stage weapon.
