A Minor Inconvenience

"Did you two come here to buy or commission?" the man asked, walking back to where most of the swords were displayed and picking one up.

"This one is pretty sharp—should do you well. What do you say?"

However, Michael was not amused—he picked the only one without mana. Wow.

"I'll pass... How much do your commissions cost?"

"Depends on the wielder. If you're shit at it, 50 gold; if you're decent, 10," the man explained before walking up to Michael, sword in hand. "Do you want to try?"

Michael raised a brow at the man. He wasn't exactly good at swordsmanship, but he had been technically using swords to fight.

It's not the same, but go ahead and try it anyway, the system remarked.

"Sure..." he decided to accept. The amount of money he got from Gu Wan was enough to purchase the sword if he was considered decent by the blacksmith.

Picking up the sword, he looked around before asking, "Where am I supposed to show off my skills?"
