"So, you're the Sword Hero ah?" Asked the old man that was in charge of the shop that George had led us too. Apparently, she was good friends with the owner for he had made her amour and spear. I almost wanted to ask with the old man was an actual Dwarf with that powerful and manly beard that he possessed. Along with his rather short stature.
"I am Sir," I politely responded for I did not want to make the man who going to be making my armor angry with me.
"Just wanted to be sure, cause you look like a baby who had never held a sword his life," He stated as he looked me over.
"Hank don't insult the Sword Hero," George tried to defend me, but her tone of voice made it sound like she was trying to stop someone from teasing her instead of someone else.
How cute.
Also naming scheme of this world was fucking whack, no rhyme or reason to it. Well, there wasn't any in my world too.
But still.
"Actually George he is correct before being summoned here I've never used a sword in my life," I told them.
"Really?" Maya asked. "When why did you get summoned as it."
"I have an idea, but I tell you about later for it's something to be shown rather than talked about," I told her.
"Ah, okay," The mage said in response.
"Well enough about that, so lass what style of armor do you want old Hank to make for you?" The dwarf-like man asked.
"Light armor, something that doesn't hinder my movements, but still gives adequate protection," I told him. "Here is the cash that I have available," I said as I took out the bag of silver coins. "You can use four-hundred out of the five-hundred for the armor."
"Well, with that much cash, I have an idea for what I can make for you," Hank said as he took out his share of the cash and handed me back the much lighter bag. "In the meantime, until it's done, you can get some of the more basic light armor that I have laying around, just a moment. Lisa get out here you lazy girl, we have customers!"
"You don't have to yell you mangy old coot!" Yelled a female voice from the back of the shop, and a second later a young buxom vermillion haired woman walked out from the door that was behind the counter. She wore what I could only describe a 'smith clothes,' and she was covered in sot and grime. So she had likely just gotten something done at the forge. "I was in the middle of quenching something. Hey George how you doing who are those two beside you? New comrades in arms."
"Hello, Lisa, and more like I am his. This is Lord Anders the Sword Hero." She introduced me to the smith girl.
"The Sword Hero! It's an honor to meet you, Sir," She said as she bowed before me. Yeah, major religious figure here almost forgot about that. And to make it worse, the gesture made those mounds of hers jiggle like they were made of gelatin.
"You don't have to bow before the brat Lisa." And now he had gone from lass to brat, I didn't know if that was progress or not. "Well Sword Hero, this is my granddaughter Lisa, she will be taking your measurements."
"Measurements? Are we going to be making armor for the Sword Hero?" Lisa asked as she stopped bowing.
"We are now, get to it girl, I go find the materials in storage, and after you're done find some light armor that can fit him in the meantime," Hank said as he left the storefront and went through the door that probably led to the forge and the place he used for storage.
"So, let's take some measurements. First I'm going to need you to strip." I paled at those words.
Xxx
"Well, that was embarrassing," I said with a sigh trying to find a little humor in what had just happened.
"Well, at least Lisa knows you find her attractive." Came Maya's teasing tone.
For to be measured, I had strip down to my underwear for the most accurate measurements, which had resulted in George, Maya, and Lisa getting a look at my concealed erection.
I was starting to think that I was in a more lewd version of Shield Hero, for I was getting surrounded by a surprising amount of tits. Which was what had resulted in said erection.
"There is no need to embarrassed Lord Anders; it is a natural reaction that males have when surrounded by female company." George tried to cheer me up. But she was just making my blush worse.
"Can we just forget that ever happened?" I asked. "So where is it we need to go for a beginner like me to fight against monsters?"
"We go to the East Field there you should be able to fight against Balloon for some easy EXP," George informed me.
"Ah, okay that makes sense."
We walked through the Castle City towards the gates and reached the outside fields, and on the way, I was greeted by various people greeting me and praising my name. As they all quickly realized that I was the sword hero.
That was a thing I was going to get used to.
The noon sun shined down upon us, and I drew my blade and had it change into Monozoshi Zao. "I read that the Legendary Weapons were capable of changing their shape, but to see it in action is something else," Maya spoke as she looked over my blade.
"These things can do a lot of things," I said an took a stance that just came naturally to me like I had done this many times in the past.
That skill was just pure cheating.
I swung the katana in a graceful arc the cleaved the two Balloon monsters that had jumped at me before going to the next and next cutting the rather cute things into pieces. And while I did, I saw my exp bar go up and up.
Swinging Zao around felt like I was taking a bath and just ignoring how many minutes had passed in the tup as I relaxed, but I did stop as I heard the ping of me leveling up and saw my stats improve by a few percents. Guess there were no points to allocate.
Had I really killed over a hundred of those little bastards, I must have really been in the zone.
"Lord Anders you said had never swung a sword back in Hank's shop, did you lie or this part of the thing you wanted to show. For while it was rough, your technique spoke of one that had some practice with the blade?" George asked as she folded her arms under her massive set of tits.
"I didn't lie. I just have a special skill that lets me learn the style of any weapon that I wield like I was the user," I told her.
"So, that blade you're currently using had a previous owner?"
"Kinda, the Legendary Weapons can copy any weapons of the same class they come in contact with, and it has access to my memories. So last night I did a little experiment to see if it could copy weapons from my memories and it worked." I explained to them. They didn't seem to be actual spies of the King, so I saw no fear in telling them. Besides what were they going to use the knowledge for? They were not able to utilize it. "Well, more like a creation of it based on my memories. This sword and the user never existed in my reality, but it seems that the Legendary Sword doesn't care about that fact. So this sword belongs to my Sword of Fantasy series."
I looked down Monohozhi Zou and saw that Sword Style had improved by a single level. I probably needed to fight tougher opponents if I wanted to increase that rank.
"That's a pretty unfair, so you can just make up any kind of sword and it will be able to copy it?" Maya asked.
"Maybe, but the stronger the sword, the higher the level requirements is probably going to be for using it. Like if I made one that could destroy the planet, I would probably need to be level three hundred to use it or something like that." I responded to her inquiry.
"Ah, that sucks, but it does seem reasonable you need to be at the right level to handle such power."
"What about you, Maya, what can you actually do in terms of magic?" I asked. "Could I get a demonstration for I would like to know what my companion's abilities are. George doesn't really need to as I can tell what she can do, but not so sure about you, Maya. And there are a few Balloons left for you to showcase your stuff on."
"Sure thing Boss," Maya stood up, and beneath her clothes, I saw blue tattoos lit up, and second, later I saw one the Balloons get trapped in a Phaselock that pulled in the others and killed them with various elements.
Yeah, this had to be the actual Maya from Borderlands. "That's my most special spell, I can use it without chanting as it triggered by my Tattoos when I pump MP through it. I, of course, got other spells to of the normal variety. I am the Baddass that commands the origin of power. I have revealed the laws of nature. Now come forth and annihilate my enemies. Zweit Explosion!" Maya shouted, and a second later a part of the terrain was annihilated.
How was this woman only level 17?
"So what do you think, Boss?"
"I think you're awesome, now George I know that this request contradicts what I said before but can we spar until we need to eat?" I requested.
"As you wish my Lord," She responded as she took out her spear.
Soon after, steel met steel.
