The Prince of Prophecy and the Bladeless Sword

4. Weapon Testing

“Try pressing the watch on each of your hands,” said Moe.

Moe resembled a cat’s face with a cute male voice. Funnily enough, Moe’s body soon appeared in the form of a cat with thick grey fur.

Viona looked surprised to see Moe’s moving form and the girl approached.

“So cute,” said Viona happily, even reaching out her hand. Amazingly, Moe could be touched even though it was just a system.

Leon pressed the watch on his hand, and a screen spread out in front of him. The boy turned to the others, but saw nothing, only finding Sean who looked silent with his gaze focused forward. Gio was the same, nodding his head and even occasionally exclaiming. Then he turned to Zenata but the girl seemed to be staring at him. Leon turned his attention back to the front, ignoring Zenata. After all, Zenata was one of Jono’s henchmen, someone Leon hated.

“What’s going on, Maya?” asked Leon.

“That’s the system you have. Information that only you know. No one can see it except you,” replied Maya.

Was that why Leon didn’t get anything from the others?

“You have twenty-five minutes to understand it,” Maya informed. “I’ll be back after you’re done. Moe will be watching over you.” After saying that, Maya simply disappeared.

The five Veritas High School students chosen by the Thousand-Appearances Dimensions System was Leon Alexander. An outstanding student. A scholarship recipient with the highest grades in his entire class, his demeanour was calm.

Leon frowned when he found the information written on the screen. He didn’t understand it at all. Then there was a statement, #Must find your own strength.#

The information was quite strange to Leon. The boy clicked on one of the icons there which then brought up various pictures of weapons, there were only two there, as written above. If you want to take a weapon, have to click the take weapon button. Leon followed the instructions and clicked on the icon. A bright light appeared in front of him and then a floating weapon appeared in front of Leon. The boy took it, staring at the weapon.

On the other hand, Sean is the same. Received a weapon.

Sean also received his weapon in the form of a white sword. That's all and Sean looked confused and then looked at Leon who had been watching him. Sean then turned to Gio.

Then Gio. The man looked happy with the weapon he had.

#Gio Austin

Just like Sean and Leon, Gio also received a weapon in the form of a spear with an iron handle, sharp and pointed at both ends. The tip of the spear is about 7-10 cm long with a pointed tip. The tip of the spear is serrated but sharp with a dark brown colour and gold engraving from tip to tip with a wave motif.

"Wow!" Gio exclaimed in amazement while holding the spear and posing to attack. The spear could change shape from short to long. "Amazing." The two boys' eyes widened.

Leon and Sean's attention, who still hadn't seen what their weapons looked like, were more interested in the weapons the two girls had gotten. The first was Viona.

#Viona Arabella

- Total points 5000.

- Element: Water

- Color: Light green

Viona took the weapon in front of her, holding the middle part of the weapon which was shaped like a sword. The scabbard of her sword looked beautiful with a light green vine motif. On the hilt of her sword was a beautiful emerald gem. The girl looked at the boy who was watching her and then pulled the sword from its scabbard. A sharp sword with a green line in the middle. Viona's smile widened.

Then what about Zenata?

#Zenata Aurora

- 2000 total points.

- Element: Fire

- Color: Red

- Power: Ranged Attacker

- Weapon: Fire Bow

- Ability: Healing

Just like the others, Zenata took the weapon in front of her. Everyone watched in silence. The bow with a medium-sized quiver confused them. Shouldn't the quiver be long?

"Recurve bow. Try pulling your arrow. Can you do it?" Moe said to Zenata.

The girl obeyed. Taking an arrow from the quiver, and when pulled, it turned out to be quite long like a regular arrow with a sharp tip and a tip made of bird feathers.

"It's a magic quiver. It's small but can hide arrows. It will appear when you need it, and it will be loaded automatically," Moe explained while wagging her tail and sitting quietly in front of them.

Zenata's gaze was fixed on the others.

"Try aiming the arrow at the tree over there," Moe ordered.

Once again Zenata obeyed.

Taking a position to shoot. The girl hooked the tip of her arrow to the thin and strong bowstring with her right hand. Holding the bow handle with her left hand properly as if she was used to holding the tool. After feeling it was enough, Zenata released the arrow.

The arrow shot as fast as lightning, and in mid-air, the arrow emitted fire and hit the tree trunk and in an instant, the fire burned the leaves of the vines.

“Wow!” Gio exclaimed again, surprised by Zenata’s weapon.

“Fire arrows. Your element is fire?” Moe asked. Zenata just stared at him coldly. “Okay. Good. You’re quite professional at playing it, Miss. It seems like you’re used to it?”

“Yeah, I play darts three times a week,” the girl said proudly, making Gio and Viona chuckle at her arrogant tone.

“Okay. Good. Now we’ll test your weapon in twenty minutes before Maya returns,” Moe said. “Viona, try swinging your sword.”

This time, Viona was the one who would test her weapon. With her right hand holding the sword hilt, the girl focused her gaze on the target and then pulled her sword. With a flash of blue light that appeared when Viona swung her sword, the tree trunk that was her target split at an angle.

“Water sword,” Moe said. “Your aura is green, but your power is water. Very good, Viona.” Moe praised, making the girl smile and look at Zenata proudly. Zenata herself just rolled her eyes.

It was Gio’s turn. The man swung his spear, a flash of light came out from the tip of the spear, and the tree that was his target was immediately destroyed at the point where Gio's spear was swung.

"Spear of destruction. Earth element. Very good Gio." Moe praised. "Then, Sean."

All eyes were on Sean this time. With a sword sheathed in white with gold motifs, the sword looked very beautiful. Sean's sword was also white with a touch of gold. The man drew his sword, and the sound of the blowing wind surprised them. Moe laughed. Sean then swung his sword at the target, within five meters, the tree behind the target was also cut down. They didn't even notice Sean's sword movement.

"Wind eye sword. Very good. Your element is wind." Moe said while nodding.

Then they turned to Leon. The man got two weapons.

"Two weapons, huh?" Moe was a little confused. "Try your arrows first, Leon."

Leon obeyed. Leon's archery was also the same as Zenata's, namely the Recurve type with a blue bow with red motifs. Leon positioned his arrow parallel to his shoulder, like Zenata who usually plays archery. The man held his bow with his left hand, and the arrow with his right hand. When released, the arrow shot, the tip of the arrow emitted a bright blue light then hit a tree, and instantly the tree froze.

"Ice arrow?" Moe looked at Leon. "What is your power?" he asked then.

But Leon was silent, the boy checked his system screen and then shook his head.

Moe was confused and detected it herself.

"What is this?" said Moe. "Your power is unknown?" he continued.

Everyone looked at Leon who was indifferent.

"Look at your sword," Moe ordered.

Leon just obeyed. The scabbard was dark blue with a red line pattern and a fire motif along the scabbard. The sword was also similar, only dominated by red-like fire. When Leon pulled it out, everyone's eyes widened.

"How strange," Moe commented and approached Leon. "There is no blade?"

Leon only held the scabbard with his left hand, while his right hand held the sword hilt but there was no blade. That's something strange. How is that possible? What does it mean?

Moe spent a long time analyzing Leon, and the weapon the man had and his undetectable power frustrated Moe because he couldn't find anything in the system.

"I have to tell Maya," Moe said.

"What do you mean?" Sean asked.

"I can't detect anything. Maya might know something, I have to call her," Moe replied.

They looked at each other. Worry and fear were more visible on their faces, especially Zenata. The girl tried to stay close to Leon even though the others didn't like her attitude. Leon himself only paid attention to the sword in his hand, his system didn't detect anything, or provide any additional information. Unfortunately, there was nothing. The bladeless sword was very mysterious with a faint aura that Leon could feel.
