The Best Actor

The condensed blow of light and patterns that looked like a sun slammed towards me, but My Thunder flash collided with it first

~BOOOM!!!

and all the patterns and light vanished into thin smoke without a trace.

" Haa... uuhh.. haaa.. uhh "

With that, the palace finally recovered its tranquility in all directions and only the sound of me panting with exhaustion could be heard.

Catching my breath, I stood up and looked towards my sword that was still emitting a terrifying amount of mana.

" System, can you supress the mana of the sword and make it look like an ordinary sword, so that even the strongest of humanity or monsters couldn't find out about it ? "

[ Task Recieved. Required permission to analyse the working of the sword ? Y/ N ]

" Permission given "

[ Analysing the sword... Loading .. ]

[ Method Found to disguise Dáinsleif as an ordinary sword. ]

[ The Sword is a weapon that is bound to the user. The user can store it in his soul space, and can only take it out whenever he wants with just his thoughts. The System also has a method to supress the mana of Dáinsleif ]

[ Do you want to activate the technique ? Y/N ]

" Activate " I said in excitement and anticipation.

Fortunately, The sword's mana completely vanished as soon as the System activated the technique, like it never existed, and now it just looked like an ordinary plain black sword.

I concentrated a little to command the System to store the weapon in my Soul Space, and felt the Sword disappear from my hand in response.

At the same time, I saw a boundless, dusky space in my mind where the sword was floating.

This space wasn't the space like the Storage rings, but a separate void dimension that only i can connect to.

" Status " I spoke in my mind.

Checking out my Status window, i found that my new sword was listed separately below the profession as ' Soul Bound Weapons '

The System doesn't show any normal weapons in the status, but only the Bound Weapons, that means all others were worthless in its eyes.

Weapons and Artifacts that are only Mythical rank and above have the ability to bound to its user, and Usually, Only a Slayer of Rank S or higher can store the weapons bounded to them into their Soul space.

' This is good! After all, it won't be easy for me to hide it otherwise. If some big shot sensed its existence on me, I am pretty sure they will forcefully snatch it away from me '

I had no doubt about this.

Once the [ Dáinsleif's ] existence was revealed to the world, many greedy people and monsters will come out for it. For them, it wasn't just a weapon of mass slaughter, but a mighty artifact that could raise their strength to newer heights.

The same had happened with those Slayers in the last life and i didn't want it happen with me.

This Disguise from the System was a truly unfathomable technique. No matter how mighty an existence, they wouldn't be able to sense the Sword's mana now.

Moreover, I could easily bring it out anywhere i want and no one would even realise what had happened.

' The System really brought me a surprise, not only could it completely hide the Sword's mana, but it could also work as another trump card for me. '

As this thought crossed my mind, I realized that I had a lot of trump cards, but then i recalled that the calamity I would face would be even greater.

My main goal here was already over, and now it was time to loot the treasury hidden behind the throne in the secret compartment.

Many hours later~~

Sylvia was currently in the hotel room, walking left and right with worry. Her mother had grown more pale, green and weak in this almost one day, and along with not seeing Noah, her worries only increased, it was at this time that a knocking sound was heard from the outside.

Excited, she ran up to the door and opened it, but the sight that greeted her caused her to scream out in fear and sadness.

Noah stood before her, his clothes in tatters and he was completely dripping with blood, his face pale as no blood could be seen in his face, overall, he looked like someone that was on the death's door.

' Weakly' i fell into her embrace as she caught me before i fell on the ground, with tears in her eyes she asked

"what happened to you, why are you like this?"

Without replying to her, I just took out a small vial with a red potion inside it, while i was looking 'pained' and 'tired' i replied with a smile.

"Get you-your mo-mother to drink this, after that she would be fine"

My 'hoarse' voice caused her to flinch, seeing the bloodied vial, that i held strongly with my life, more and more tears flowed out of Sylvia's eye's, she couldn't understand.

"why?"

Her voice was filled with pain and guilt, she could see that I had risked my life for ' this ' and the situation that i faced was more likely to be a life and death situation, that i survived miraculously, yet I had given ' it ' to her without even Caring for myself who literally looked like on the death's door.

Hearing her question, i gave out a 'weak' smile and spoke

"i promised you didn't i, plus i could not see you being sad, you're my FRIEND."

With that i fainted, seeing my performance even the most experienced of actor's would give me thumbs up, even the biggest of frauds would kneel in submission in front of me, too bad the only one who knew about this was only me.

{ Sylvia POV }

Sylvia's life could never being said to be perfect nor a great one.

From a small age itself she was a kind-hearted, lovely girl who was intelligent and smarter than the children of her age. She didn't know about her father since young and she lived in a poor family with only her mother.

But all things considered, she had a loving mother whom she from a young age could see working to provide for her, she never knew her father, all her mother said, was that he left them because of some problems.

But she didn't care, she actually hated him for leaving her and her mother alone to face this cruel world, due to her high intelligence she grew more mature than most of the peers of her age.

This had developed a slight prejudice for her against men, whom she deemed useless and untrustworthy.

The glances they threw towards her mother when they saw her and her natural anger towards her father created that image, she was only 12 when her mother fell ill and she had to take up work.

Even though she was in the lowest level in the society, she still had her pride, she picked up garbage and did other works to earn money, during that time she even started dressing up as a boy to avoid certain glances that some people threw at her.

She had always worked alone and always depended on herself for everything, according to her, trusting others, especially men was not good.

Sylvia's life went on like this till she was 18 and got awakened. She first was ecstatic about her powers but then got worried at the same time.

She didn't wanted to leave her mother and become a Slayer, to go hunt monster. She just wanted to live with her mother and take care of her.

However, she still tried to learn basic things about the Slayers, Sylvia knew that she had a good superpower as she got its information as soon as she awakened it, and she even compared it with other people on the internet, but she didn't knew anything about her body talent level because she never went to get it tested.

She didn't had the time, nor the money to join academy, She wasn't even trained to go fight monsters. So there was no way she could even get a Slayer's license.

Sylvia knew that the study of magic would cost her a fortune that she wouldn't be able to afford in her lifetime. She didn't knew if she was even talented enough that any Academy would even give her scholarship, and even if they did. She can't go there and leave her mother alone to survive herself.

So she finally decided to drop this idea and focus on her life with her mother, finding a cure for her mother's health.

However, this all changed when he came in her life without any warning, and without even asking for her consent, he became her first friend.

A Slayer who made her laugh, happy, relaxed. Someone who didn't ask anything from her and only just gave her all good things.

He, who now was standing in front of her, all bloodied from head to toe, looking like he was about to die at any second.

He, who risked his life just to prove his friendship and save her mother's life from that despairing situation, caused Sylvia's her heart to shook.

Her mother always told her that she would find her love some day, someone whom she would share her burdens with, but she had always scoffed at that idea

Why would someone do anything for her without anything in return?

But she was mistaken, and when she thought that her mother would die, he was beside her to share her burdens, for the intelligent and kind-hearted Sylvia, this was a huge stir to her heart.

She knew that she was falling in love, the 1 day she waited for him to return back to her was spend worrying about him, she tried to control herself but she couldn't, as her worry only grew.

And the moment she saw him hurt, her heart almost shattered, the sight of him hurt and holding a vial, which was so extraordinary that even if she hadn't known about it before, then the mana that was coming out of it would be the proof of its value.

The feeling she got after feeling that naturally wild mana was mind boggling for her.

She knew it was the real deal, and she couldn't even fathom how precious this potion was even if she had heard it in rumors.

However, In front of such precious thing he didn't even hesitate to give it to her, He was willing to almost die for her, he didn't ask anything in return and he only did this for her, now how could she remain calm?

She knew that day what she wanted, she knew that day whom she wanted to spend her life with, she would keep him safe and with her for a long time to come that is.
