Arin didn't need to wait for them to reach him before preparing for battle.
With a thought, a sword with a brown hilt materialized in his hand. A single glance was enough to tell that it was very sharp.
This was the sword Arin had purchased yesterday in preparation for entering the Portal. Its Rank was higher than the weapon that had broken in his fight against Alex.
This sword was a Grade 3 Master Rank Weapon, and it had cost him 1,100 points.
He had earned 700 points as a reward for completing the mission to stop the bandits, while the remaining 400 points came from the daily 50 points that students received from the Academy.
In other words, he had spent every last point on this sword.
'Not like I actually eat anymore,' Arin thought, twirling the weapon in his grip. 'So there's nothing else to use the points for.'
Then, a sudden thought crossed his mind.
'Lina...'
He hesitated for a brief moment.
