There was a counter inside the shop where an old man with wrinkly face and white hair was standing. He had blue eyes and was wearing an old fashioned suit with a bow tie.
"Welcome to wands and weapons shop of Vinkort, Christopher Lennard at your service", said the old man while bowing.
" Good morning Lennard, we have brought a student earlier this time due to his special circumstances... We were wondering if you could help out to select his fated wand. ", said Headmaster Alkaris.
" It would be my pleasure headmaster", replied Lennard and gazed at the boy standing infront of him.
The boy left a deep impression on anyone that laid their eyes on him due to his pale white skin and pitch black shoulder length hair.
Instead of looking at the old man named Lennard, Daemon was busy looking at sharp weapons... Not the wands but the magic weapons placed on the walls behind the owner of the shop.
"Before we select your wand, please place your hand on this stone. It will let us know how much magic energy you body can feel and control right now. ", said Lennard.
I placed my hand on the stone while the headmaster, professor and shop owner watched eagerly how much potential I had.
I saw the stone vibrate but then it stopped and started releasing black lights but only few in number.
" Hmm. It seems Mr. Grimsby can't sense magic that much right now but the control is almost perfect to whatever extent he can control it. In the future while magic capacity will improve , we don't know whether he will be able to use the same amount as his peers.", said Headmaster while feeling relief subconsciously.
"Does it mean i can't use magic right now? ", I asked headmaster.
" You can certainly use it but your capacity is less compared to others so it will be a burden for your body... But there is something that can useful in your case... I know your are strong and have a weird body strength for your age, so maybe you can become a magic warrior like those ancient magicians. " , replied Professor Elijah instead of Headmaster.
" Do students not chose becoming magic warriors? I have seen some students on the way here having weapons? " I asked.
"Their body naturally gets stronger when the magic quality and quantity in their body increases ... Difference between them and magic warriors is that magic warriors use magic not to store in their body or increase its quality... They use it to strengthen their bodies... Some ancient magic warriors were so powerful that they managed to live for far longer than their peers who focused on magic energy... And reason why no one really goes through that nowadays is that there are alot of magic spells and new magic which is equally powerful and easy to learn than to endure hardships required for training their bodies.... And although magic warriors use their bodies as weapons, they also used to have magic spells which helped them in their fights... Only most talented warriors were proficient in both and it required almost thrice the effort to increase their levels compared to others. " Elijah while wondering whether this new student would chose to go through old ways of magic or not.
"You can decide your path later on child... First chose the weapon of your liking... Wand will be useless to you currently and magic weapons can also be used to channel spells if you manage to learn them. ", said Headmaster.
I looked at Lennard who was watching me with curiosity filled eyes and then started walking towards the back of the table. All weapons seem to sense my approach and started vibrating.
I looked at all type of weapons but not one caught my eye , even though they themselves seemed excited for some reason which surprised all the people present.
I stopped beside a pair of black daggers with long length almost resembling short swords but not large enough. The daggers were pitch black with red engravings on them.
I picked both the daggers and almost instantly I felt a connection with them.. At the same time I could feel their strong urge to kill, to be used by their master to spread terror. I didn't let them affect my dark emotions ... I can sense these daggers elevate a person's negative emotions and suppress their positive ones. It was like a perfect match for me considering I can't feel them anyways.
I turned around to find Lennard looking at me with face full of shock that I wasn't effected by the daggers.
"These daggers were made by a forger of my family during the war thousand years ago and it was meant to be used for massacring the enemy... Due to it's foul nature and dark materials of darkest of creatures involved to make it, almost everyone who tried to wield it went mad after some time... Since that time it has been kept in this shop by my ancestors... I wouldn't have guessed at all that they will make a bond with you as soon as you touch them", said Christopher Lennard with eyes full of fear and passion.
Headmaster had a worried face while he was lost in thought after looking at what was happening... Meanwhile Professor Elijah was also for the first time a little worried while looking at me.
I can feel their concern and worries easily due to my sensitivity to all emotions that are not positive. I knew what they were worried about, but I wouldn't say anything meaningless to them.
"I like these daggers.. They will be my weapon from now on..", I said
"... Alright. Since you have selected your main weapon let's get you your student robes now. You should go with Professor Elijah and get your robes made while I will bring your books and necessary items" Said Headmaster while moving out of the shop.
The tailor shop was also located inside the Vinkort only for all student's use. Tailor was a middle aged man with the same suit as a butler. He took my measurements and prepared my robes of similar black color as students. I also asked him to make some suits for me in which I would be more comfortable than these robes. After all, I need similar clothes to how people wear here inorder to fit in with them.
