Chapter 1311 - Role Models (Part 1)

"Excellent choice, young man. It’s one of our best-selling products. It has lots of movable joints and comes with several accessories." The clerk said while showing Aran how even the fingers could be moved according to the weapon of choice.

"I can see that. I asked what it does." He said.

"Everything you want." She shrugged, having no idea what the kid meant.

"That’s a lie. It doesn’t fly, it doesn’t cast spells, nor does it make any sound." Aran pressed the head, the emblem on the c.h.e.s.t, and the arms, but to no avail.

"You are joking, right?" The clerk was flabbergasted by such absurd demands from a mere toy.

"If that’s the best you have, I pity the other children." Aran pouted, making the woman seriously consider a career change.

"Big bro, can you enchant this?" The kid ignored her and ran to a tall man that looked like he was there only to honor a lost bet.

He read the price tag before answering.

"Good f-" Kamila’s elbow hit his ribs, making him reconsider his choice of words.

"Farming gods almighty! This thing costs-"

"Barely twenty copper coins." Kamila finished the phrase for him with a glare as she picked one for Leria as well.

"The lady has a keen eye." The clerk was glad to find at least one reasonable person. "Every single piece is hand-carved by a magico artisan while the armor and the weapons are forged from a dull but resistant metal."

’Quit whining!’ Solus said. ’It’s really well made. Even better than most action figures from Earth.’

Between the kids’ puppy eyes and Solus’s and Kamila’s glares, Lith had no way out.

He made ninja hand seals with his hands while chanting English swear words to justify the tier five Forgemastering spell, Worthy Vessel. It would test its target’s mana resistance, allowing the mage to identify what kind of enchantments an object could withstand before crumbling.

Gold wouldn’t light up, crappy materials like those of the Camellia would barely light one rune, and so on while silver would be completely covered in words of power.

"Damn, I mean, yes, I can enchant it." Lith said as three runes appeared over the toy, proving the high quality of its materials.

"Then it’s true. You really are a mage!" It was one of those rare times when such words were spoken without admiration nor fear, just disbelief.

"If that amazes you, you should see the face he makes when he brings me to a new restaurant." Kamila said with a sigh, making Lith turn red in embarrassment.

"We’ll take them." Lith tried to act smooth, but the pain twisting his face made the clerk think that he was going to pay for the toys with his flesh and blood.

They spent the following days visiting Xaanx until there was nothing interesting for the kids to see and then moved to another city with the Warp Gate.

Unlike Lith, Kamila had planned it like a real vacation, bringing the children to places where they could play with their magical beasts or with their peers at amus.e.m.e.nt parks filled with magic-fueled rides.

’She’s right, you know? If I had to summarize your past, it would still look like a training montage.’ Solus said, cornering him.
