Chapter 45 - The weapon awarding ceremony: part 5

Everyone are watching Nate, his grand declaration of using his fists and now, he is examining the sword he had chosen from the last shabby rack, and the head of the STRONG family is still shaken by what he is actually seeing right now, in his mind, a million questions are swarming around and not leaving any place for other thoughts to get in.

"so, in the end, you have chosen this kid to be you wielder..." breathed the head of the family STRONG and he muttered "i hope you can finally find peace...", and one of the members from the STRONG family along with Dennis, the member just said something to head of the family STRONG, and after listening to what he has to say, Silvester the head of the family, just laughed very loud that all the eyes that are on Nate till now, are averted onto him, "you declared to you use your fists, but why then choose a weapon?" came a sound from back of Nate and it was Tom and then Nate said "i don't know, when i said i don't need a weapon and decided to get off the stage, i felt like something clutched my shirt and pulled to towards this rack and when i gazed in to this rack, my hands just landed onto this sword" said Nate with confusion, and then he asked "aren't you going to choose one?" and Tom said "well, now i can't back down when my friend had just picked up a nice shiny sword and how it would look to others when i choose a mid tier gun or something?" he ended the sentence with a sigh.

Tom went near the shabby old rack, meanwhile Nate is checking his katana, he is examining the sheath of the katana, it was all black and he can still feel the sensation of when he is getting off the stage, he definitely felt something, something pulled him back by clutching his end of shirt and all eyes now fell on to the Tom, who is now looking at the shabby last rack, the camera ball is zooming at the hands of Tom, he is gazing the rack from top to bottom, and when he is about to reach the bottom of the rack, he observed something, there is a small hidden cabinet under the last but one shelf in the shabby rack, and his interest piqued and his hand went towards the hidden cabinet's direction and the camera ball zoomed again and all the student body can see the hidden cabinet, and to the handle of the cabinet, there tied a know of thread, and when Tom brushed the thread off of the dust, the camera ball went near the thread, when the dust is off the thread, everyone are amazed by the beautiful workmanship on thread, it was really beautiful and he pulled the thread off the handler of the hidden cabinet and Tom clutched the handle of the cabinet pulled it backwards to open it, since the cabinet was old shabby, when the cabinet was opened, dust gushed off the cabinet when opened, and some of the dust went slightly in to Tom's nostrils and that made his close his nose and his mouth, by moving his hand front and back wards, the dust was dissolved in to the air, no one are able to see what is in that hidden cabinet, because Tom's head was in the way of the camera angle, Tom took hold of the thing that is in the hidden cabinet and then he raised the thing by holding it in his both hands and raised it like a medallion he had just won by defeating the entire world, everyone are thrilled to see what is this thing? and the camera ball adjusted it's angle to the top of Tom's hands and when everyone are seeing the screen with eager stricken eyes and when they saw what that thing is.., this is the first word that came out of everyone's mouth and even from Nate's mouth: "EH....EH....EH".

It was a pen, the thing from the hidden cabinet in shabby rack was a pen and that too a click pen with gold colored, and even Tom said this under his breath "EH" and then once, everyone started laughing at him, Tom can hear what the other are saying about him "it was a pen", "he chosen a pen as his weapon" and others just laughed, Tom is examining the pen he was holding and then once, while everyone are still laughing the head of the family Strong just shouted very loudly with a speaker ball that is floating around his mouth, he said "click the pen, boy" and then everyone stopped laughing at these words and Tom too stopped examining the pen and he clicked the pen just as the head of the family Strong had said, when clicked, no one but Tom alone can sense something sensation in the pen when it has been clicked and then at once the small pen, he was holding now turned in to a giant axe.

Everyone are in shock, seeing just a few inches pen is now a fifty times larger axe, Tom couldn't hold the axe when it suddenly transformed from a small pen to a giant axe, the axe was too black in color with the same thread that was tied to handle of the hidden cabinet is now tied to the handle of the axe and Silvester the head of the family Strong started laughing again, the axe fell off from his hand to ground and it slashed the ground, Tom went near the axe's handle and then clenched his hand around the handle of the axe and then tried to lift the axe, to his astonishment, the axe felt lighter than how it looked and Nate is still on the stage watching all this and said "you gone and got yourself a giant ass axe, you good looking jerk" and Tom returned the courtesy by saying "at least i don't have the guts to announce that i will use my fists and make my own way, you freaking mad man" and they both smiled at each other, Nate, shoved his katana in to his belt and Tom, who is now holding his giant axe by his shoulder, they closed the distance between them and then they bumped their closed fists together.

Everyone roared at once to see what is happening on the stage, Maria and the very shy Tricia are clapping their hands very hard that they are now turning bright red, but someone in the crowd is not liking this very much, he is now sitting in the crowd clenching fists very tightly that if clenched his fists anymore, blood will surely come out of them, the racks are dissolved in to the checkers from where originally came out of and Nate and Tom are going to get their seats but they are stooped by the member of the family Strong, he guided them towards the head of the family and he is speaking with them very seriously and then the headmaster came to the center of the stage and followed him, a member of the school while pushing a trolly with the shabby old toaster like machine, the headmaster turned on the toaster looking machine and again there appeared the golden screen with a man inside of it who is about to appear in front of the student body, he is disciple peter.

The colosseum went silent, all the students are waiting for the screen to appear, but it is not, then the headmaster spoke "i believe there must be some kind of mis-interference, and we are checking the issue, in the meantime, does everyone want to meet the creator of your weapons?" and when headmaster asked this to the students, the whole colosseum went riot, every first year is eager to meet the creator of their weapons, with first years gathered, there came all the other year student too, in to the colosseum after a short while, when the ceremony had started and although the students who are not among the first years and who exactly knew the creator of these weapons, are still cheering with the first years and Tom said "i believe, that old man is the creator of the weapons" and Nate added "obviously, he is the only man looking like a dying star in the sky with burning rage in his eyes", "then" started the headmaster after asking the question "i humbly welcome the creator of the weapons you are currently holding and no other weapon master is as skilled as this man, the head of the family Strong, SILVESTER STRONG.

The crowd once again went into riot, but the sound was slightly off than when headmaster had asked whether they wanted to meet him or not and there is a perfectly good reason for this, Silvester came to the stage and stood beside the headmaster, the crowd is still lively and the headmaster raised his right hand and all went silent, Silvester was about speak and he took a large amount of oxygen into his lungs and said "YOU SPINE AND SPIRIT LESS BRATS, WHO ARE WAGGING THEIR TAILS IN FRONT OF TECHNOLOGY" and the crowd of the first years went "EH...EH...EH".

when Silvester said this, headmaster just adjusted his small oval shaped glasses and in his mind he said "i did anticipated this would happen", Silvester continued, "apart from the last two brats, you all had chosen weapon that are made up of technology and i am not saying that is a bad thing, but no one even glanced at this last rack, do you know what this last means..." a pause in his speech and every student is listening to him without blinking even for once, "the weapons in that rack are made of by twelve dying stars, and do not take these stars very lightly, they are only called stars because they are emitting light and energy, but they are also emitting something that even the best of the best scientists couldn't tell, and my ancestors made all these weapons with their souls and determination in their hearts...." another pause, "listen very well, FROM METAL THERE CAME TECHNOLOGY and not the reverse, i guess we are entering in to that time of age now, no one surely gets the old days anymore and the legends that lived in the old times.." and with that, Silvester nodded at headmaster and he pressed a button on his wrist band, and there came striding in the sky a square shaped hoover board, he climbed on top and said to Dennis and his members "come home after everything is completed, i am going first" and with that he took off on the square shaped hoover board.

"well, well, don't let those disappoint you, although what Silvester said is true, he is an old man and with values, so he wants the kids like you to understand the world very quickly, work hard and prove that, that old man is wrong" these words came from the golden screen that is hoovering in the sky and the school fixed the issues and all students turned their heads up, with those words from the man inside the screen, some students felt their hearts at ease, "and i want to share a few words of caution with all of you, do not use the weapons you just got from the ceremony in the school halls, they are to be used in the supervision of an instructor or in combat grounds and in case of self defense, and with that i will take my leave" and the screen went off, and silence reigned the colosseum and just when all the students thought it if finally over, then the headmaster spoke again "when i call the names, please step forward on to the stage".

Everyone are stopped on their tracks at the words of the headmaster.
