I Reincarnated as a Shinai

The Arcanas displayed were covered by a thick glass, unlike the Magic Weapons which can be picked up to be observed closely.

At the very least, a detailed description of the 12 ownerless Arcanas was written below them.

Although there were a lot of impressive Magic Weapons on the other shelves, the presence of Arcanas was truly unique.

Diether quickly read the details of the Arcanas and was soon disappointed.

"Urghh… So expensive… Do they really want to sell these?"

He remembers the Magic Weapons that Mr. Mapan had shown to him before. Those weapons were crafted by 4th-Class Arcanists and the prices were only ranging from about 90 to 140 gold coins.

However, these Arcanas in front of him were on a whole different level.

[ Name: Fine Treasure Blade ]

[ Arcana Rank: Rare ]

[ Wielder: Martha Wex ( Deceased ) ]

[ Durability: 90/170 ]

[ Skills: Invisible Thrust, Golden Slash ]

[ Price: 29,000 gold coins. ]

"What's with the absurd prices?"

Diether gasp at the sight and checked the others.

[ Name: Half-Moon Bow ]

[ Arcana Rank: Rare ]

[ Wielder: Chrisa Yoris ( Deceased ) ]

[ Durability: 125/130 ]

[ Skills: Energy Arrow, Blood Sacrifice ]

[ Price: 27,590 gold coins. ]

The prices of Rare Arcanas were ranging at this price so Diether tried to look for a Common Rank Arcana.

[ Name: Grave Gauntlet ]

[ Arcana Rank: Common ]

[ Wielder: Halia Olivis ( Deceased ) ]

[ Durability: 99/105 ]

[ Skills: Focus Punch, Bloodlust ]

[ Price: 15,000 gold coins. ]

"Sigh~ It's impossible to buy an Arcana at this point…"

The prices were just too absurd so he has to give up on them. However, this would serve as a good reference in the future.

The high-grade beast core that he has can only be sold for around 3000 gold coins as per the evaluation at the Hunter Association. It may be more or less according to Orga so Diether expects that he'll be able to purchase at least a high-quality Magic Weapon he needed.

Soon, Diether decided to get the attention of one of the attendants.

"How may I help you, Sir?"

A woman, around 16 to 18 years old approached him. He realized that she was probably like Neo who was doing this as part of their education to earn some merit points.

"Yes… I wanted to buy something here but I needed to sell this first. I heard that I can also make transactions here… Here, have a look…"

He then showed the Item Certification and the mesmerizing beast core of the High-Grade Evil Beast Imp.

"Whoa… This is a genuine High-Grade Beast Core… Impressive. It's been a while since someone sold this kind of material to us."

"Oh, really? I thought that Cores and other materials were readily available in the Academy?"

"Of course not. High-Grade Beast's Cores were rare even to us. Not only because those cores were directly being purchase by the Arcanist Association, but it was also being hoarded by the private organizations. It's not easy for us to get them unless the students managed to supply our Academy… However, do not worry about the prices. We purchase these things at a much more competitive price."

The Academy teaching the young people weren't necessarily connected to the Arcanist Association. After all, the students would still have a choice on what organization to join. They could be in the Kingdom's Knights, the Association, some private organization, or even refusing to join any of them would be an option.

But of course, the talented kids that showed an impressive performance at the Academy would be eyed by these organizations so that once they graduated, they would have a good impression of them.

"Very well… I'll get assistance from this Hall's Manager so he can authorize this… Wait for a moment."

Diether actually didn't wait long before a middle-aged woman showed briefly and offered a price for his core.

It seems that she was also a teacher of the Academy based on how the attendant addresses her.

"Hmmm… A certification from the Hunter Association… The core has no damages… It was extracted correctly… No leaks of energy… This is the best condition possible. You should've placed it in a treasure box or something and not just in your bag… Anyway, I can offer you 3,700 gold coins for this…"

"Can you make it 4,000?"

"No. That's the limit." The manager sternly answered.

"Err… Very well. I'll accept the 3,700 gold coins."

Diether said before the manager left him with the attendant. It seems that the latter can already handle everything since they already made an agreement for the price.

"Please wait for a couple of minutes as I'll get the amount."

"Ahh, wait… I'll also use that money to purchase a Magic Weapon… So…"

"Alright… Have you selected one already?"

"I'm still undecided but I've seen four swords that I'm interested in."

The attendant who then introduced himself as Tracy accompanied Diether in his weapon selection. It was so that she only has to get the deducted gold coins.

Reiji also decided to evaluate the Magic Weapons that Diether has an eye on.

[ Orc Slayer Sword

A weapon crafted to disrupt the Energy Senses of many Evil Beasts especially the Orcs from the Southern Region of the Continent.

Creator: Kamal Sinha - 3rd Class Arcanist

Class: C+ ]

[ Price: 459 gold coins. ]

The sword's ability to disrupt the enemy's sense of spiritual energy can prove to be very useful in many situations. However, it was a two-handed sword.

[ Lite Solar Sword

An enhanced version of the mass-produced knight's sword that gains enormous power during the daytime. It is made of Sun Iron Allloy and could increase the wielder's ability by tenfold if used at its peak. The original version of the sword was used by the Sun Fire Knights as their secondary weapon.

Creator: Roshan – 2nd Class Arcanist

Class: B- ]

[ Price: 1005 gold coins. ]

This Lite Solar Sword was a one-handed handed sword and it looks like a normal sword. Diether was sure that once the sword receives some sunlight, it would show its worth to be called a Solar Sword.

The third weapon that caught his attention was also very interesting.

[ Novice Wooden Sword

A sharp sword that was made from the branch of the Eternal Tree.

Creator: Unknown

Class: C+ ]

[ Price: 600 gold coins. ]

Its limited information was certainly something to take note of, but the fact that it was also a wooden sword made Diether consider it.

Finally, he found the most expensive Magic Sword at the Market Hall.

[ Holy Sword Replica

A replica of the Mythical Holy Sword.

Creator: Artem Sutherland – 3rd Class Arcanist.

Class: A- ]

[ Price: 2950 gold coins. ]

[ Note: Artem was only 15 years old when he made this sword replica. He became a First Class Arcanist very soon and only managed to make 30 of these weapons. ]

"Ho~ This is the only Class A Magic Weapon I found… It should be a very impressive sword…" Diether softly muttered.

Tracy agreed with his words as she waited for Diether to pick the weapon he'll purchase.
