Today was the day for choosing weapons, and if I am right, Damien will send a church report regarding Nolan having layer 6 potential.
In the Novel too, the only two generations that had above layer 6 Thread were this and the previous one. Like a curse fading away.
They only approached Nolan because they didn't want a feud with the major families, especially the Frostbane family. Because if they involve his daughter in church, this time, he would fight back.
As all the students were chattering, Phoebe, beside me, asked me in a cool tone
"Hey, Sol, Today is weapon selection, you know."
"Yes," I replied
She looked at me and asked
"What are you gonna choose?"
I raised an eyebrow and said
"Probably a long sword, and I'll keep some iron chain around me. What about you?"
She nodded and said
"I'll take a long sword and throwing knives or kunai."
"Hmmm," I hummed as I looked at her intently.
After a few seconds, she said in a confused manner
"What?"
I shrugged and replied evenly. "Nothing, just reminding you that you lost to me 11 times."
She visibly twitched a little and said under her breath while gritting her teeth,
"Nerd"
"Ooo, is that a loser I hear?, A loser who can't take a loss?" I shrugged smugly
Instead of getting angry, she calmed herself and said in a cold voice while smiling faintly.
"You're right, I will train extra hard today. So, today you'll spar with me."
Without waiting for me to reply, she added
"I'll be waiting to see how you defeat me."
I immediately felt a shiver run down my spine.
After that the Miss Mel entered the classroom with the same elegance as every day and started taking attendance.
After Attendance she started a new topic about the history of the Royal Family.
Honestly It was pure propaganda, because the royal family was not as powerful as the textbooks make them out to be. They had the Thread of Ancestry, which allowed them to use powers from their ancestors. And the current strongest among the Royal family was the king, who was Layer 4.
The biggest takeaway was that the Royal Family of Theon was the weakest among the four Kingdoms.
After that, the teacher took some Mathematics and Normal subjects.
By the End Miss Mel made an announcement,
"Next week, all First Years are going on an expedition trip on Ishtara Mountain Range to explore The Threaded. Now, everyone, get up, we are going for Weapon selection."
After entering the weapon selection room, all students were pretty excited, Because Not only was this a weapon selection, but the academy also provides us with high-grade weapons. These weapons are usually made from strong Threaded Creature's body parts. The Threaded creatures can also be classified into Rank F to S, and higher-level creatures can have conceptual threaded powers as they get more intelligent, the stronger they get. By killing these Creatures you can use their body parts, which are as strong as their ranks, to make Weapons.
After settling down, everyone registered their weapons.
As for the cohort,
Nolan took a great sword and daggers.
Vivi took short swords and knives.
Lily took double daggers, Bow and katana.
Lex took Gauntlet's and a knife.
Phoebe took A long sword, throwing knives, and kunai.
As for me, I took A long sword and daggers. After thinking about it, I thought it's necessary to have a short-range weapon. As for the chain, I issued it separately, so they'll deliver it to me at my dorm.
After that was done, we were all given all the weapons we registered every one of our weapons was F+ rank, so it was okay as long as we were F Rank.
After That the lectures were over, and we were free to do whatever,
So Phoebe decided to train.
As soon as we entered, she faced me and said with the brightest smile she had ever shown.
"You'd better start praying to whichever god you believe, because you are not getting home in one piece."
And with that, my torture started.
And that day I decided to never again in my second life I am going to provoke that petty woman.
After getting home battered and bruised, I decided to quickly shower and sleep for a while.
After nap, I made everyone dinner and again went to sleep.
