When Jake and Berg had submitted the advanced tier crystal, the man behind the counter was initially shocked but after seeing their injuries and all that, he inputted the crystal into their system. The advanced tier crystal managed to push Jake from rank F to rank E.

Then the man gave them back the crystals. Jake kept the two Intermediate crystals and Berg and Helen kept the two Intermediate crystals they also got now they were stumped on who will get the advanced tier crystal after all, it was a very precious crystal and it would even cause small time Guilds to fight against each other just to get it.

"I think you should have it." Helen said to Jake.

"Huh? Why do you want me to have it?" Jake asked.

"You killed the beast so it\'s right for you to keep the crystal." Helen smiled.

"We all killed the beast together so it\'s not right for me to keep the crystal." Jake refuted. "Berg won\'t you say anything?"

"I agree with whatever she says. If she says you should get the crystal, then you should keep it."

"No, it\'s not right." Jake said.

"Please just keep it and stop arguing with me. Besides, consider this as a sorry gift for taking the necklace you wanted." Helen said.

"So just for a crystal worth 200 credits, you are willing to let an advanced tier crystal go." Jake said.

"Hey! Do not undermine your help, we both know that without you, we would have likely not survived in the first place." Helen said.

"Just take the crystal." Zee said. "It might even be useful to you."

"Fine I will take it. Thank you." Jake smiled.

"Alright, it\'s time for us to head off now." Berg said.

"Yes, that\'s true. I will see you again." Helen said stretching her hands for a handshake. Jake shook the hand. "I didn\'t get your name earlier."

"The name is Jake." Jake said while releasing his hand from the handshake. Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire

"Jake, what a nice name." Helen said. "And it\'s fitting for a brave guy like you."

Jake smiled. "Thank you."

And then Berg and Helen now left Jake while going back to their home.

"Now what to do about this?" Jake said looking at the crystal then he looked at his sword that was now broken. "I think I have got an idea." Jake said as he exited the Guildhall as he headed back to the academy.

After exiting the town, Jake removed the robe and kept It in a bag. When he got to the academy gate, they scanned his watch as usual and they also searched the bag before the let him into the academy.

Jake went back to his dorm room. And it was a good thing that no one was there. Jake quickly hid the bag underneath his bunk bed then he left the room again for somewhere else. After a few minutes of walking, Jake was now In front of the academy\'s black smithing shop.

It was a large shop and a metal door in front of it. Jake pushed the door open and a chime from the bell above the door was heard as he let himself In. Then the man behind the counter raised his head up. Noticing the uniform on him, the man greeted Jake as he lifted up the monocle from his face.

"Welcome young soldier, what can I get you?" The man asked.

Jake then looked around at all the different weapons in the stall. The highest equipment here was at the intermediate tier. Then Jake went towards the man and brought out the one of the intermediate crystal he got from the wolf and placed it on the counter.

"I was wondering what this could be turned into." Jake said with a smile.

Then the man\'s eyes widened in surprise. "How did you get this? Aren\'t you a student of Aurora Academy? Then how did you get this?"

Jake was shocked by the man\'s question. He was now thanking the heavens he didn\'t bring out the advanced tier crystal otherwise the man would have gotten a heart attack. "A friend gifted this to me."

The man\'s expression didn\'t change showing he wasn\'t buying it. That was when an idea clicked In his head. "My friend Sophia Josh gifted this to me."

Hearing the name, the man eyes almost popped out of its sockets and his monocle fell from his eye. Then he quickly regained his composure. "I see, you are friends with the Josh\'s. Very well then." The man said as he took the crystal and started observing it on the same glass thing Jake saw at the Guildhall.

\'I\'m sorry for using your name like that Sophia.\' Jake thought.

"It says this crystal was gotten from an intermediate wolf beast." The man said looking up from the glass. "It can only be turned into a boot."

"What!" Jake almost shouted. "Can\'t it be turned into a sword of some sorts?"

"No not at all. You see, specific crystals can be turned into specific things. You see this crystal was gotten from a wolf so it can only be turned into a boot because wolfs have incredible speed."

Jake just sighed. "So how much will it cost?"

"That will be 80 credits. With students discount." The man said.

Jake didn\'t say anything, he just did the transfer and was about to leave when he decided to check out the weapons here. Jake kept walking around when he stumbled upon the swords shelf.

He looked at all the sword there when a Katana blade caught his eye. Picking it up, Jake admired the weapon for its design was certainly eye catching. The blade had a black handle. Then the blade itself had a twisty pattern on it that looked almost like a snake.

Swinging the sword around, Jake noticed how perfect it was for him. Then he used his inspect skill on it.

<Inspect>

<Katana blade: made from an intermediate beast.>

<weapon is suitable for user.>

"Hmm, I will take this." Jake said turning to the black smith.

"Excellent choice young soldier. That will be 110 credits."

Jake didn\'t say anything, actually because the cost was perfect. 100 credits for the crystal and 10 credits for the black smith gain. Jake did the transfer and he was left with 1340 credits.

"So how long will the boot take?" Jake asked the man.

"It will be ready in five days." The man replied.

"Alright then. I will come pick it up in five days." Jake said while heading out of the shop on his way to his dorm.
