When Gary turned to see who was by his side and had an interest in the same sword as him, he was surprised to see that it was a female. From what he could tell at least. The female's face was mostly covered by a cloak she was wearing and also had a black scarf around her mouth.

The only thing Gary could see clearly was her green eyes and long tanned legs coming out from the skirt she was wearing.

The girl decided to ignore Gary and continued to talk to the shopkeeper.

"Sorry, how much for this fine sword here?" She asked.

"Oh, what a good choice this young lady has, it only came in yesterday and is an extremely rare advanced tier weapon called the White falcon. It cost a total of one gold coin." The shop keeper replied.

"I'll take it!" Gary quickly interrupted.

The female started to look Gary up and down. Gary didn't even have a decent pair of shoes on, there was no way he could afford this sword she thought.

Then she noticed the tag that was around Gary's neck. It was Red in color which indicated that Gary was the lowest Rank an adventurer could be, Rank F.

"Oh please, like anyone is going to believe you can afford a …" But before the female could finish her sentence, Gary had pulled out a single cold coin.

The female clenched her fist and shouted

"1 gold and five silver."

The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up with gold coins. One gold coin was already a small fortune and now he was getting half of that for free.

Gary then turned around to look at Jack who was still busy eating his fifth kebab stick of meat.

"Hey, do you mind if I use your gold coin for this, I promise to pay you back in the future."

"Sure go ahead, I don't need to get anything anyway."

Just as the shop keeper was about to agree to the agreed amount with the female, Gary interrupted with his new offer.

"2 gold coins for the sword."

The female was starting to get frustrated, she never expected a pair of F Ranks to be able to have so much money on them. They were practically giving away a family's life savings. Then a thought came to her mind. Perhaps they were from one of the two big Guilds in the city.

If that was the case, she would do her best to avoid a confrontation with them.

"You, what guild are you from?"

"We're part of the Red wings." Gary said proudly.

"Red wings? I've never even heard of them."

Gary was hurt a little by the words but it was expected. Kelberg was away from Avrion, unlike the town they had visited previously. Even if they did know about Avrion being taken over, it was unlikely they would know of the group involved until much later.

After realizing that Gary wasn't from one of the big guilds, she decided to go ahead and increase her offer.

"2 gold and five silvers."

Gary now had no choice but to give up on the sword as he and Jack just didn't have enough money.

The shop keeper and the female exchanged coin for the sword and as she held it in her hands she had a huge grin on her face. She looked at Gary before turning around and smiled as if to rub it in his face.

But as she walked off, a gust of wind blew by revealing the females back, that's when Gary noticed what she was carrying on her. It was a stick with a crystal beast core attached to the end. Something that mages used called a wand.

"Wait!" Gary shouted.

The female turned around and waited for Gary to come to her.

"You, you're a mage, what are you going to do with the sword?"

"I plan to give it to my father as a gift, he loves collecting these types of things."

The thought of an old man keeping something as beautiful as this as an ornament sickened Gary. The sword was meant for battle and Gary wanted to fulfil its wish.

"look, is there any way I could get that sword, I really need it. I can even give you more money for it later." Gary asked.

The female thought for a little while before giving a reply.

"Oh, I know!" She said, "How about we have a little contest, Berg!" She called out.

Suddenly from the crowd of people, a large man had appeared as If he had been there the whole time. The man looked like a large bodybuilder in his mid 30's.

"If you can beat my guard Berg here in an arm-wrestling contest then your free to keep the sword." The girl was fairly confident in her guard's skills. Her father had hired him, after all, to protect her in the worst-case scenarios.

Gary, on the other hand, wasn't confident in his strength. Just looking at the large man-made him gulp, Gary was the type of person who focused more on his skill.

Then an idea came to Gary's mind.

"If you're allowed to use someone else then can I use my friend here," Gary said as he pointed at Jack.

The female looked at Jack and noticed he was fairly muscular and a little larger than Gary but still nowhere near the size of her guard Berg. She also noticed that Jack had a red tag as well. Most F class adventures didn't even know about using Ki, while her guard was quite skilled at it.

"Fine but you asked for it, if you lose you have to give me your gold coins then." She said.

"Deal."

The two of them then went into a nearby tavern. Straight away the customers in there noticed Berg walk in and greeted him as they saw him.

"Hey, do you think this guy is famous or something?" Gary whispered to Jack.

"Does it matter?" Jack replied, "Just as long as we don't get in trouble."

The group quickly sat at a table and soon a crowd had quickly gathered around.

"Hey, Berg is taking on another one."

"Do you think anyone can beat him?"

"Hey, the kid he's going up against looks quite muscular."

"You know it's not just about the muscles, right?"

The crowd was starting to make Gary nervous thinking he might have made a mistake. Jack might have been strong at the academy but who knew what that meant in the outside world. Jack, on the other hand, was just getting more excited as he heard people talk about how strong this Berg was.

"There's no backing out of this now." The girl said as she could see Gary starting to sweat.

"Just remember to give me that sword once my friends done."

The two locked hands and were ready.

"3,2,1 go!"
