After the Comic Market trip last weekend...
Ye Ran had a relaxing and pleasant time in the days that followed.
On Mondays and Wednesdays, he would eat lunch with Shirayuki Kaguya and Fujiwara Chika in the student office.
Sometimes, if they felt like it, the three of them would play checkers and some interesting word puzzles.
Shirayuki Kaguya, with her strict upbringing, had never been so close to a guy before.
Ye Ran was handsome and had a witty sense of humor.
He would occasionally tease the playful Fujiwara Chika, and even the usually cold and aloof Ice Kaguya would be tickled by their banter, breaking into a charming smile, a rare sight indeed.
Unbeknownst to them.
Their relationship was becoming increasingly close at a rapid pace.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, Ye Ran would bring his tool cat, "Mr. Pan," to the rooftop to hang out with Kido Kawai and the other girls.
Under his skillful "training."
The cat could not only perform over twenty consecutive backflips in one go, but also execute difficult acrobatic stunts with ease.
Even Yukino, a cat lover herself, was amazed.
As for Fridays, which were free for his own arrangements.
Ye Ran would usually follow Kashiwazaki Shizuka to some secluded spots on campus to play exciting little games.
To keep him from being lured away by those stray cats, Kashiwazaki Shizuka went all out to please him.
Things like teacher-style black stockings and OL outfits, even a school swimsuit… were regular features in her backpack.
The athletic equipment storage room, the empty bathroom, the swimming club's locker room, all bore witness to their passionate encounters.
........
"My own exclusive Divine Weapon... I hope I get a good weapon blueprint."
In the classroom.
Kiryuuzu Madoka was diligently writing exam points on the blackboard.
But Ye Ran wasn't paying attention.
He was immersing his consciousness in his personal space, gazing at the silver-gray spinning card.
The 【Divine Weapon】 card was like opening a blind box.
It randomly awarded the blueprint for a powerful weapon.
Even among Divine Weapons, there were differences in quality, they weren't all the same!
Ultimately, it came down to luck!
Ye Ran wasn't one for fussing, so after a brief consideration, he decisively used the card.
Buzz——!
With a low hum, the automatically spinning card suddenly shattered, turning into a dazzling stream of light that seeped into Ye Ran's mind.
The immense flow of information from the mysterious gift caused a momentary jolt to the young man's mind.
Rubbing his throbbing temples.
Ye Ran took a deep breath and focused on the weapon blueprint, radiating a faint glow.
【Divine Weapon · Victory Sword (Gram)】
Description: The Victory Sword (Gram), also known as the "Tree Sword."
Inserted by the god Odin himself into the trunk of the "Child Tree," hence its name.
It symbolizes victory and glory, but also brings disaster and misfortune, and its possessors all die unnatural deaths.
Later shattered by Odin himself, and reforged by the great hero Sigurd as the magical sword Gram.
It is also the prototype for another magical sword, Balmung, and the legendary Excalibur from the story of King Arthur.
——The curse of misfortune seems to be a common thread.
This sword is the original form before reforging, the "Victory Sword" bestowed upon human heroes by Odin.
“........”
After reading this description.
Ye Ran's mood was a little strange.
He hadn't expected to pull the "Tree Sword · Gram."
To be honest, this sword was quite powerful.
It was the handiwork of the god Odin after all.
It was also the prototype for the Oath Victory Sword in his possession.
The Tree Sword, from the Norse epic "The Volsunga Saga," was a legitimate Divine Weapon.
Its first owner was Sigurd's father, and after it was broken once, Sigurd himself reforged it, but it didn't have any remarkable legends or achievements in mythology. It even broke once, while the holy swords and magical swords derived from it were almost all more famous than it!
Although not very famous in mythology, this sword was no ordinary object.
Gram, as a magical sword, possessed the speed of a comet during attacks, and had a special attack bonus against monsters and divine beings.
If he could actually make it.
It would definitely be a useful asset in battle.
"投入【物品·蛮神心脏】，开始构建神造兵器-【神造兵器·胜利之剑（Gram）】......."
With the giant purple heart sinking into the swirling vortex of spirit particles, the weapon blueprint in Ye Ran's personal space also turned into dazzling specks of dust.
【正在构建“胜利之剑（Gram）”，截止完成时间为；7天零6分钟。】
"Whew..."
Ye Ran let out a breath.
He had done what he could, the next step was simply to wait patiently.
Ding-a-ling........
At that moment, the crisp sound of the school bell rang out.
Kiryuuzu Madoka, still engrossed in her lecture, put down her chalk and put it back in the box. She looked at the students who were already eager for the weekend, reminding them kindly.
"Okay, it's the weekend tomorrow, so have fun, but don't forget the points I wrote down today, we'll be having a pop quiz on Monday."
"Also, Ye Ran, don't rush off after class, come to the teacher's office with me."
"Oh, you're getting detention from Madoka-sensei on the weekend, you're such a loser, Ye Ran~~"
"Hahahahahaha, we're leaving first, you just wait for your scolding~~"
As soon as those words were spoken.
A few familiar male voices erupted in laughter, delighted by the misfortune.
Everyone knew that Kiryuuzu Madoka was extremely serious and strict when it came to teaching.
Being summoned to her office, everyone knew it couldn't be a good thing.
"Scram, you don't know anything!"
Ye Ran responded with a middle finger, politely greeting his departing friends.
Then, he slung his backpack over his shoulder and followed Kiryuuzu Madoka, who was gathering her lesson plans, towards the office.
Dong, Dong, Dong......
The beautiful teacher's high heels clicked rhythmically on the floor.
Her firm and shapely buttocks, accentuated by the purple miniskirt, swayed in alluring and ample curves.
"Click."
As soon as they closed the door to the office.
Kiryuuzu Madoka blushed and approached him proactively.
"You rascal, what are you planning to do today?"
