Chapter 45 - Sophia's Surprise
[Magic Arrow = 1,000 Honor Points]
Leo saw something that really caught his attention.
Currently, Leo's biggest problem was that his arrows were very fragile, of course, they weren't fragile enough to not be able to kill monsters, but as arrows were considered as disposable items by most Awaken, Leo was hardly able to find quality arrows. very good.
Not to mention that over time, the arrows wore out a lot, to the point that they began to have difficulty penetrating the skin of the monsters.
Even though he tried to aim at the monsters' eyes, in some cases he was forced to shoot elsewhere, as it would be more effective. @@novelbin@@
Leo had heard of things that could be found in the Honor Market that couldn't be found elsewhere, but now he's finally seen it.
[Magic Arrow - Price: 1,000 Honor Points.
Description: This type of magic arrow is made with fragments of Monster Core and has some special abilities. The most notable is that when the user uses a bow, the Magic Arrow automatically fills the arrow space on the bow and consumes only a small amount of mana for each shot.
The strength and resistance of each arrow is related to the strength of the user, reaching the maximum level in Pure Silver 5 Stars.]
With the Inventory-Hack, Leo didn't have to worry about having to get the arrow out of his quiver every time he shot, but his arrows had a fixed force. If he wanted to shoot more powerfully he would need to buy better arrows and a better bow, but with these magic arrows his problem would be solved!
'That costs 1,000 Honor Points… it's a very high amount.' Leo thought with his hand on his chin, but after a while he made up his mind. 'I can try hunting alone tomorrow and see how it turns out. If I get a lot of Honor Points, it's good that I gather to buy this Magic Arrow.' Leo thought.
Normally, Awaken beginners with Honor Points think mainly about spending their points to rise in rank, only if their strength is not enough they will spend Honor Points on other things, Awaken with higher ranks don't worry so much.
The amount of Honor Points to go up from Army Corporal to Sergeant was 10,000 Honor Points, and this was a rank with the minimum required strength of Pure Silver 3 Stars, that is, even an Awaken Pure Silver 3 Stars can already make a few hundred Honors Points per month.
Thinking about Awaken Royal Gold, the amount of Honor Points they must earn per month is already in the thousands.
That's considering they share the Honor Points they receive with their teammates.
'Getting 1,000 Honor Points is a big amount for an Awaken Bronze 4 Stars, but it's not impossible. Considering that some Awaken Pure Silver 1 Stars had already reached the rank of Army Corporal, this just proves that you can do something like this.' Leo started to think about the most efficient ways to get Honor Points.
While Leo was researching Honor Points, Dave had just left a jeweler's shop. He got very lucky and when he arrived, he found that the jeweler already had a standard bracelet without too many ornaments so people could already put on the Monster Core.
Of course, the jeweler could also make a more luxurious custom bracelet for customers, which was usually the top seller, as most Awakens were pretty vain and liked to show they had Monster Colors.
Dave didn't have this problem, in fact, the more discreet the bracelet was, the more satisfied he would be.
After attaching the Monster Core to the bracelet, Dave felt a mysterious energy coming out of the bracelet and entering his body.
It usually took 3-14 days for an Awaken with a Monster Core in the arm to rank up.
But Dave was very talented, apart from the fact that he had been in the Bronze 5 Stars for so long, he felt he would need even less time to rank up.
With that in mind, Dave immediately went back to his apartment and called Sophia to help him.
When Sophia heard that her brother was going to move up to Pure Silver 1 Star Rank she was shocked and excited, after all, it was very gratifying to know that the family was making progress. The stronger Dave was, the better off it would be for her.
But she was confused as to why Dave was moving up in rank so fast, as he had already told her that he still needed at least 2 months before he could move up in rank.
Upon arriving at Dave's apartment, Sophia finally understood why her brother was able to rank up so easily.
Despite Dave putting on a discreet bracelet, the Monster Core was still very crisp on his arm.
"This Monster Core, how did you get it?" Sophia asked shocked as she looked at Dave's wrist closer.
Hearing this Dave broke into a proud smile as he explained. "I went out on a mission with the boys. We had to kill 20 Bronze 4 Stars monsters, but on the way back we entered a cave that was inhabited by a Bronze 5 Stars monster!"
Sophia heard this and was shocked. She was also an Awaken Bronze 5 Stars, but even with a group of 5 Awaken Bronze 5 Stars she would still be a little wary of hunting a Bronze 5 Stars monster, but wasn't Dave hunting with a group of Bronze 4 Stars boys? How did he manage to kill such a powerful monster?
She couldn't resist curiosity and had to ask. "Did you kill this Bronze 5 Stars bear? How was it?"
Dave was even more proud to hear his sister's curiosity. "It was quite difficult, but because of one person we made it."
Sophia soon thought of a name and asked. "Harry? Is his curse that strong already?"
Dave shook his head in denial and said. "You won't believe it, but the person who brought us the victory was the freshman who arrived this year, Leonardo Lentz!"
Sophia was even more shocked to hear this, if Harry was the most responsible besides Dave she could also understand, after all Harry was a Third Year student just like Dave, or even Charlie who was a Second Year student and already had enough experience.
But Leo, a boy who awakened his own Quirk less than a year ago, was the deciding factor in their victory? She couldn't even imagine how that was possible.
Dave didn't keep as much suspense and explained. "That boy is magical! While we are playing games online or chatting in the cafeteria he is a very fun and lively person, but when he enters the forest he becomes a predator! You had to see, he would close his eyes and he could hear and locate the monsters that were 50 meters away!"
Sophia was shocked by this, in a place where Quirk Specials were the most valued, someone with a location Quirk was extremely valuable! Now she finally understood why Leo could choose to live in a Mansion in his first year at MU.
"A location Quirk is very powerful, it can be very useful in quests." Sophia did an analysis and had to agree, someone with a Quirk like that was a decisive factor in any mission undertaken.
But Dave started to laugh and shook his head. "Do you think that the way he finds the monsters is a Special Quirk? That may even be possible, but this is not his main ability, you had to see, we hunted approximately 40 monsters during the quest, there were 20 Bronze monsters 4 Stars, and the rest weaker, but even against so many monsters, I haven't seen him miss an arrow! That boy's aim is divine."
Dave was bragging about Leo as if he owned these abilities. Of course, the fact that they left Monster Core to him greatly influenced Dave to like that group of boys who met playing video games even more.
But Sophia was even more shocked to hear this, she thought Leo's Quirk was just about finding the monsters, but who knew he also had such good aim?
"How was he helpful in dealing with the Bronze Bear 5 Stars?" Sophia couldn't take her curiosity any longer and asked.
Dave smiled and explained. "While we were resting inside the cave, Leo was the first to find the Bear, making us alert. When the Bear came to us and roared to intimidate us, instead of being shocked as we were, Leo went very fast and shot two arrows in the bear's mouth!
This made the Bear even more angry and soon after Leo shot two arrows, one in each eye of the monster! Have you ever seen a blind and angry Bronze Bear trying to hit someone ? That's impossible! Hahaha."
Afterwards Dave explained that while they intended to get out of the cave, Leo suggested they go to the end of it and look for something valuable to bring back as a prize, but who knew Leo would find a Monster Core?!
When Sophia heard the whole story, she was able to imagine everything that had happened, and instead of this reassuring her, it actually made her even more shocked, as as a Second Year student and an Awaken Bronze 5 Stars, she had no confidence in be as useful as Leo, a freshman first year went on his first mission at MU.
After hearing this whole story, Sophia stayed at Dave's apartment to help him rise to the rank of Pure Silver, but while helping her brother, Sophia's mind only came to Leo's image and thought. 'What mysteries do you still hide?'
The curiosity of this beautiful Bronze 5 Stars girl was piqued, but for now it was just curiosity.
On the other hand, she started to think that with Leo's talent, maybe she could recommend this boy for a project that would happen in the first few weeks of school, with this Quirk of his the chances of winning were very high.
'Even though he is an Awaken Bronze 4 Stars, the strength and intelligence he demonstrated in this mission with Dave far surpasses the Awaken Bronze 5 Stars, so even if I choose to bring him with me, he can be even more useful than other Awaken Bronze 5 Stars that I can choose…' Sophia started to think and get excited about it.
Maybe in this project she can discover even more of his secrets.
