A golden longsword.
Just by looking at it, one would be bedazzled by its beauty. Its golden luster shines from the pommel all the way until the end of the blade. Cross-shape flower design decorates the sword's guard while another cross-shape design is present in its pommel.
The center of its guard as well as some of its grip are decorated with color blue. A scabbard also came along, with its color being less intense than the luster of the blade.
Lastly, it emanates a strong pressure from within, proving that it is not something that was created through human hands.
"Fragrant Olive Sword, what a fitting name..."
[Fragrant Olive Sword (UR)]
Details: A sword created by someone whose authority is on par with the gods. Crafted using the first immortal object created by a creation god, it possesses the "Immortal" concept. It cannot be broken nor be damaged. As slender as the sword may be, it has an absurdly large weight and power in its normal state. Under the <<Armament Full Control Art>>, it has two forms:
Enhanced Armament State: The blade of the sword transforms into flowers. Each flower has the full strength of a giant's punch. The power of these flowers depends on the amount of mana injected in the sword.
Release Recollection State: Similar to the Enhanced Armament state, but it no longer possesses any limits. The strength and numbers of the flowers depend on the amount of mana injected into it. Furthermore, the flowers can explode upon the user's order. The resulting explosion depends on the injected mana as well.
Upon touching the sword, Shiro gained the memory of the said <<Armament Full Control Art>>. To his surprise, it is very similar to the system of magecraft on Shinji's world.
All the user needed to do is to recite certain syntaxes before they could unleash the memories stored inside the weapon. These memories are related to the material used to forge the said weapon.
With <<Armament Full Control Art>>, the memories of the armament gets brought out. Based on the said memories, the sword would usher into a new form.
Since the Fragrant Olive Sword is related to an osmanthus tree, it can transform into countless flowers.
"Syntax and commands in Fate World. I do wonder how I could mix both."
He marveled at the sword's appearance for a while before storing it inside his [Dimensional Storage (SR)]. Slumping down the chair, Shiro got out of his excited state.
"Truly, I never expected to be shocked like this."
Never had he imagined that he would get a UR on his first ticket. Granted that his luck is very high, but it still seemed quite unbelievable for him.
At this moment, he remembered something.
"My staff."
He took out the staff that was beside him since the day he woke up. Looking at it, the staff is mostly colored black, with some tinges of white in it. It has many jewels adorned in it, though they all look very dull. Its as if they're sleeping right now.
However, the one thing that caught his attention is the vibe that it brought. At first, Shiro thought that this must be a very extraordinary item. Now that he got [Fragrant Olive Sword (UR)], he had this strange feeling that it will definitely not lose against this sword.
"Is it just baseless feelings? Or something else? I'm itching to find out my prior identity right now..."
Putting aside the staff to his storage, he got up the chair and left the study room. On the hallway, he is greeted by the Matou household servants.
Few days ago, they were suddenly informed that a relative will come visit this house.
Not to mention his identity, just his charm alone is enough to make everyone friendly to him. There are even some women who fell for him at first sight!
Though, they are still professionals after all. They just bowed waist down before continuing their work.
Along the way, he bought a lion stuffed toy on the points store. Then, he silently fused it together with the Floating Hover Guard inside the storage.
[Fusion: Floating Hover Guard + Lion Stuffed Toy]
[Fusion Starting. 1%.. 2%..]
Opening the door, he saw Sakura and Shinji in the courtyard. The former is sitting under a tree while reading books while the latter is doing his usual spear training.
In the last 7 days, not only did he read through the books in the study, he also taught both Shinji and Sakura the basics in their respective fields.
Shinji was taught both Rune Magic and Aura Techniques, while Sakura is mostly focused on the mage systems on both worlds.
"Good morning."
""Aniki/Shiro-nii!""
"How's training?"
"It's going quite well. I did have some problems today..."
"Your reach?"
"Yes! How did you know that?"
"That's normal. Your body is still that of a child. Go train with a normal spear first, then I'll give you one that suits you."
"Thank you, aniki!"
Running off to the courtyard yet again, Shinji practiced the three basic skills in spearmanship: thrust, strike, and cut. With the help of the training stake that he bought yet again from the point store, Shinji felt the recoil of each and every thrust and strike of his.
Well, this only proved that the point store is beyond convenient if you have points.
"It's your turn, Sakura-chan. Did you write your questions?"
"Yes, Shiro-nii."
She gave a notebook full of her questions on the books that she had read. They do this once a day to answer all of her questions. Before looking at it, they both sat down under the largest tree in the courtyard.
"There are surely many questions in here." Sighing, he asked her a crucial question. "Did you stay up late in the night again?"
"No."
"I can see your eyes."
Seeing her eyes turned slightly more frantic, Shiro knew that he was right. To be honest, her acting might be effective against normal teachers, but not for him.
"Try not to do it again next time. You're still a child."
Knowing that she got busted, Sakura looked down before apologizing.
"I'm sorry..."
"Don't worry about it. This only shows your own resolve, and I do not think that this is wrong." He continued. "Only, you should not forsake other important things for it. Why do you want to become strong again?"
"My happiness."
"So, being strong wouldn't matter if you couldn't achieve what you want."
Patting her head, Shiro thought at how he was able to come up with all of this. He doesn't have the experience, yes, but the sentiments behind these statements felt real to him.
It didn't take long before they resumed what they had intended to do.
"What question do you want to get answered first?"
"This."
She pointed out to one of the questions in a more noticeable space.
"This one, alright. There are only 4 strokes that you have to do, but it is a bit tricky. You need to focus on the..."
The early morning passed by just like this, without knowing that this is a day of parting.
Seeing her eyes turned slightly more frantic, Shiro knew that he was right. To be honest, her acting might be effective against normal teachers, but not for him.
If this is talking about what I think then...
What I think it is referencing is when in stories characters in a 1 on 1 situation, one gives the other puppy eyes or some equivalent. Typically the one who receives the puppy eyes bends the knee and doesn't stop the behavior that the other is trying to use the PE (Puppy Eyes) to get out of.
The result of this is very irritating characters who will always worm their way out of a punishment or having the consequences of something they did hit them.
This creates a sort of unnatural hate in my heart when I see these characters.
An example (A cultivator one):
Master: Alright, I am ready for my tribulation to the Divine Observation Realm, all I need is the Natural Clear Contemplation gem that sits it my vault of random important stuff that EVERYBODY knows not to touch.
(Typically Female) Disciple: Master look what I got you!
*The female disciple shows him a beautiful Maroon Red necklace*
Master: Ha? What a pretty necklace, where did you aquire such a magnificent item?
*The female disciple reveals a smug smile*
Disciple: I traded it for that old green gem that was dusty and just sitting in the treasury, you must know that this color of gem-
*The disciple hears a sharp almost couch like sound from her Master which brings her attention up as she was going to continue her tale*
Master: disciple...?
*The disciple shivers slighty and breaks from her reverie of her journey and observes her Masters now emotionally void face*
Disciple: Y-yes m-m-mAster? *The disciples voice cracks a smidge*
*The master stands up from his meditation position, standing fully upright and towering over his relatively short disciple. He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, opens his lips, and puffs out a quite loud hot breath of air before closing his mouth, his lips now pressing against each other tightly*
*The disciple flinches at the razor noise of the breath exhaled from her mouth*
Master: This "Old, Dusty, Green, Gem", wouldn't happen to be the Natural Clear Contemplation Gem, almost priceless, vital to the tribulation leading to the Divine Observation Realm....
*The Master swiftly moves in a flash, appearing before his disciple*
*He swiftly grabs her chin and forces her to lock eye contact with his now deeply dark ringed Blue Eyes*
Master: was. it...?
*The disciple starts to tear up, realizing she had absolutely fouled her Master, his mood currently very atrocious, and she felt like she standing infront of the embodiment of the of the sentence, "Death is many things, but a chilled cold feeling, like winter chills, it is"*
Disciple: p-prob-...... m-m-mAYbe m-m-mAster.... I might have.... exchanged it..
*The disciple could feel the thumb and index finger gripping her chin tighten. She could also see that her Master's eyes were getting deeper, almost making her loose control of her body and release everything from her bowels with how scarily his face seemed to be visually deforming due to the pressure the two borderline pits that were now risiding where his eyes usually did*
Master: Ha. Ha. ha. Ha.... HA HA HA!
*With a "weak push" the disciple flew backwards for a few moments before having her back hit the solid ground and rolling sideways for a bit before coming to a dead stop, covered in dirt, grass, and her body was trembling serverly*
*Sha, sha, sha*
*The sound of grass falling beneath the Masters shoes seemed to be like a constant thunder clap to the disciple, the sound of which was coming closer, corresponding with her Master*
(After a few moments)
*The disciple, eyes filled with tears, nose starting to run, and mouth in a unknown still dance of staying closed, locked in fear, and hanging wide open, her body not even paying attention to her open food hole*
Master: Disciple.....
*The disciple slowly raised her head*
Disciple: Aaa-
THE END.
I just kept writing and then didn't want to write more, so there. Lol
Anyways, I am glad that Shiro seems to be lenient, but not stupid when it comes to teaching so far.
Damn, your good at this
Ah, damn he got Alice's sword from the SAO: Alicization Rising Arc. At least I think it's the Rising Arc.
What was more unusual was the complete lack of sand on their person. Nearly invisible to the naked eye, a transparent spherical barrier allowed him to safely traverse this expansive space without proper equipment.
He took out the staff that was beside him since the day he woke up. Looking at it, the staff is mostly colored black, with some tinges of white in it. It has many jewels adorned in it, though they all look very dull. Its as if they're sleeping right now.
He still has that staff? Why was it only brought up again now, 14 chapters later, and not when he woke up in the desert. You specifically said he had no equipment at the start and he didn't have storage at that time either.
You might've went past through it, but it was mentioned that it is a Soul Armament, something that can be summoned forth at will from his inner self. It's not a physical weapon but something similar to an Innate Weapon. I might've only placed some context clues by that time, but it'll be explained further as the chapters go by.
@IdleYoungMaster I just re-read the chapters, and not once was a Soul Armament mentioned. Not even in the prologue was his staff called that.
@kamikazedrew Really?
Apologies. All this time, I thought that I mentioned it at least once or have hinted it. It being a Soul Armament is mentioned in the future chapters. I'll also include it on the things that I'll include in the revisions after we finish with our Finals.
I don't what happen if shiro shows that sword of his to Artoria...really excited for many chapters to come... I hope mc participate in 5th Or 4th Idk but yeah he should meet artoria...
I feel the story is getting good and everyone is seeing his as him not getting confused. Thats just a filler author does so he can increase more word by him explaing that he's a guy
Man, I loved watching SAO. Glad to see that it's on here, honestly.
Thanks for the chapter
