Choice of Weapon

I exited the sketchy library and onto the streets. This place looked the exact same as Earth except for the fact that there was a lot more women. It can't be helped, not much men likes to go for the support class.

I wandered around the plaza and found multiple shops. They handled potions, armour, clothes, food, wine and weapons.

I looked at the weapon shop first.

*DING* *DING*

The bell's sound signalled that I had entered into the shop and alerted the bored woman on the counter. The woman looked in her teens and had dark purple hair that covered her face. She had eye bags below her almost black eyes.

She looked at me with an expressionless face. I looked back her with the same look. Her lips parted slightly before talking.

"Your pretty interesting, you know that?" She had formed a slight smile before returning to her natural look.

"I didn't realise, what made you say that?" She leaned her head on her arm and titled her head.

"Maybe because you have a different hair colour than others, maybe? I dunno"

"We have a hypocrite on ours hand, don't we?" She rolled her eyes.

The woman stopped titling her head and straightened herself. She showed a bright smile before saying to me.

"Welcome to Brook's Weapons Shop, we only sell the finest things! How can I help you!" She turned jolly of of a sudden. I sighed, relatable. I put my elbow on the counter and supported my head with my hand.

"That was a bit late don't ya think? Doesn't it get tiring saying the same thing over and over again?" The woman dropped her act and rested her head against the counter. She groaned in agreement.

"Rough sales today?" I heard a 'Meh' come from her mouth, but was hushed by our distance.

"So...No sales today?" She sighed heavily.

"Yeeaahhhh" I guess we were both tired for the day.

"Do you even know anyone that buys this kind of stuff? No one, we are called supporters for a reason! Why the hell does someone build a shop with weapons made for warriors in a supporter only area? WHY!?" She continued ranting about her store and job for a few more minutes. She stopped once she had insulted the owner about 20 times.

"You got it all out of you?" Her aggressive attitude disappeared and she turned tired.

"Yeeaahhhh"

"That's good" I nodded and continued to rest my head on the counter. We did this for about half an hour before she broke the silence.

"You gonna buy something?" I thought for a bit. Why did I come here? Is it because I need a weapon? But I already have one, though I never tested it, it should be fine.

"Nah, I'm good" We rested in silence while looking out the store's windows. People passed by and they were almost all women, I only saw 2 guys and I swear one of them was a pervert so...

"Then why are you here?"

"I need some rest" She rose an eyebrow at me.

"Don't you have like, 84 vitality or something?" I checked my stats.

"I guess I do have 84 vitality, but it doesn't mean that I can't be tired"

"True..." Since she had seen my stats, I used 'Observe' on her.

"How do you have so much more points in your stats than me?" The girl questioned me and I could only sigh, I guess she had come around the same time as me.

"You can train them..." She sighed.

"I guess I hadn't thought of everything. What are you even doing in the supporter world? With your stats, even though you only have absurdly high vitality, you could go and succeed in the warrior world. Why didn't you?" I shrugged.

"I can heal? Does that answer your question?" She scoffed at my direction.

"Maybe it's also because I don't know how to hold a sword properly or better yet, fight. Do you know how to fight?" She shook her head at me.

"Same. So I chose to become a supporter. It also felt easier to hide my strength that way. I don't even understand most people, they go straight to being a warrior and yet they don't even know how to fight. They just think it's cool. They're ridiculous" Lia nodded in agreement. Lia then asked me a question back at me.

"Then what are you going to do in a battle then? If you can only heal than your pretty worthless if someone just kills you instantly" I pointed to the bandages on my neck.

"This is my weapon, well it can't really by classified as a weapon so I guess it's more of a constrictor? I dunno. Check this out" I thought of this idea when I had recalled my favourite character from an anime.

I used 'Bloody Enhancement' the cloth started to fill with blood, getting enhanced it glowed red.

[Health: 1020/1040] -20

[Mana: 450/570] -120

[Bandages is enhanced - +7% Material Toughness, +12% Material Durability, +2% Protection]

[Because 'bandages' is not a weapon, the enhancements are doubled]

[Bandages - +14% Material Toughness, +24% Material Durability, +4% Protection]

Once my bandages were enhanced, I utilised my 'Mana-Influence' and started focusing on my blood. I had first thought of controlling my blood when my system had kept saying that my blood was full of mana. So why can't I control the mana in my blood?

When I had focused on my blood, I felt like something was pulling down my blood. I couldn't lift it up and I felt hopeless, I couldn't become my favourite anime character!

*DING*

==========

Skill Acquired: Blood Control lvl 1

Description: One of the main skills of blood sorcerers. They used this to fine control their blood which they couldn't control with normal mana control. With controlling blood, what comes next?

Cost: None

==========

Or can I?

I used 'Blood Control' and found out that I could lift my bandages. With that new information, my bandages loosened and Lia finally saw some movement.

Controlling my blood, I made it unwrap around my neck only for a little bit of it to keep it connected with me. With the cloth, I made it move around the shop and grab a hold of some weapon.

Holding the handle to a sword, it slowly lifted it up before we could hear a

*RRIIPP*

The bandages ripped and my control loosened. I quickly unwrapped my bandages from the handle of the sword and wrapped it back around my neck.

"As you can see, it's only a work in progress"

"It's better than what most people have" I chuckled.

"What? Like katanas?" She sighed.

"Yeah, katanas. Why do people like them so much? It's just a curved blade? There's nothing else!" I laughed at her ranting.

"What weapon do you use?" She smiled brightly at me.

"A katana" I squinted my eyes at her.

"I guess it kinda fits you. But aren't you a supporter? What are you going to do with a katana?" She shrugged.

"I'm going to learn it" I was a bit dumbfounded.

"Your pretty interesting, you know that?" She hummed.

"I didn't realise..." We stared at each other for a bit.

I think I just made a new friend.

"Cya at school" I walked out of the shop and onto the streets.

"Cya..."
