"Let's leave it at that shall we?"
Stopping right before me, the trio halted their movement and turned towards the voice that told them to stop.
"Who are you to medd-- ah, E-Evelyn"
Turning around and figuring out whose voice it was, the trio froze on the spot.
Being in a society where rank meant everything, they were overcome with fear and couldn't stop trembling as soon as they saw who was speaking to them.
Evelyn Nightshade, the first-year number Eight ranked student. Orıginal content can be found at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
"W-ee we-re must lettin-t him know his place"
As his voice trembled, the leader spoke to Evelyn.
"And what did he do exactly?"
Placing her hand on her shoulder, Evelyn patted him a couple of times.
"Let's leave it here okay?"
Repeatedly nodding his head, he and his group immediately fled the scene.
Seeing this happening before me, I couldn't help but slightly admire Evlyn who with just a few words made the trio run.
I have to say, there were perks in standing out.
Like being able to swiftly deal with low-level characters with just a few words.
But in hindsight, facing low-level charters was much better than dealing with annoying high-level ones.
"Thank you for your help"
I said to her after they left. She turned towards me, there was a small frown on her face.
"Why did you let those idiots push you around? I don't think you are a pushover."
She asked me; well what do I say to her? That mind was occupied somewhere else.
Well, that was true my mind was somewhere else.
Why is that? Well, this Sunday was tiring for me, The first go-to Hero Association, and second I got scammed by Sia and made an unreasonable deal with her.
And the money I received, I invested in the Guild Stock market.
So it's not wrong to say my mind is somewhere else after all this happened to me today.
"I'm not a pushover I just don't make scenes right now, and believe me those three idiots going to pay for what they did to me now."
I said to her with determination looks in my eyes.
Anyway, I already know who sent them.
What, do you also want to know?
Well who else if not Aric, that bastard must lost his head.
He is trying to harness his creator, Me.
If only was strong enough I would be that idiot ass, but I have to endure for now.
"So I heard you got a medal for stopping the incident at 'Artifact room'."
Evelyn broke my thought with her question.
"I did not stop it was Adrian the one who killed that guy."
"Does it matter? You also did help him to kill it."
Now that she said it, she does have a point here.
"I think you are right."
"Of course, I know that. Anyway, it's getting late so I'm going to my apartment."
She said and looked at me.
"Are you going to train or go to the apartment right now?"
"I think I will train for about half an hour then go back to my room."
"...I see, then see you at class tomorrow."
She said that and left. What was that about it?
Why her expression was down now?
I thought for a few minutes and nothing came to mind.
"well let's go back to training."
I said as I resumed lifting the weights.
Finally, after half an hour when my fitness training finished, I quickly left the Training ground and headed towards my dorm.
After getting into my room I sit on the edge of my bed and summon Nightshadow bow.
As I focused my thoughts, a soft glow emanated from my AI bracelet. The ambient hum of magic surrounded me, and with a seamless transition, Nightshadow bow materialized before me.
Nightshadow bow bore an ethereal elegance, its sleek design bathed in a subtle lunar radiance. The bow's frame, crafted from a mysterious dark wood, seemed to absorb and reflect the ambient light, giving it an elusive, shadowy quality.
Moonlight motifs were intricately etched along the bow's limbs, depicting crescent moons in various phases.
The string, woven with strands of silvery mana, held an otherworldly luminosity. As I inspected the bow, I could feel the latent power resonating within it, a testament to its celestial origins.
The grip, adorned with a silver crescent moon emblem, felt cool to the touch. Nightshadow bow exuded an aura of grace and potency, a fitting weapon for one connected to the moon's essence.
The moonlit glow intensified, casting a soft radiance in my room. Nightshadow bow, once a mere thought, now rested in my hands, ready to unleash its celestial power upon my command.
A quiet satisfaction filled me as I whispered to myself, "So this is Nightshadow bow, a legendary Artifact." The bow's subtle lunar radiance cast a serene ambience and I couldn't help but feel a connection to the legendary Elara Moonshadow, the original wielder of this extraordinary weapon.
I held Night Shadow's bow in my hand and checked his stats
Rank: Legendary (S rank)
Name: Nightshadow Bow
Description: Nightshadow Bow, a legendary artefact of celestial origin, is an ethereal masterpiece that embodies the essence of the moon itself. Crafted with otherworldly precision, the bow features a sleek, midnight-black frame adorned with silver filigree that mimics the phases of the moon.
Nightshadow Bow possesses the ability to harness the ambient mana in its surroundings, enhancing the user's archery skills with unparalleled precision. Its arrows, when released, leave a trail of lunar energy in their wake, impacting targets with both physical and mystical force.
The celestial energy infused within each shot allows for increased damage against creatures of darkness and heightened accuracy under the moon's glow.

To unleash the bow's complete potential, a user must attain the prestigious S rank. At this level of mastery, Nightshadow Bow reveals hidden facets of its power, granting the archer the ability to create arrows of pure moonlight, capable of piercing through magical barriers and dealing devastating blows to supernatural foes.
I was stunned, to say the least. That fact that I have a Legendary Artifact. Even the Main character does not have any artefacts at this early in the plot.
I already used this bow once, yet when I tried to pull the string, I had to use a lot of strength—a lot more than I expected.
A loud tak sound resounded in the room when I let go of the string.
"Amazing…" I remarked.
Maybe I did not have much strength left after the practice that's why I'm having a hard time pulling a string.
It just felt right when I held it in my hand.
I maybe not same level as Evelyn and Emma.
But I had a way in my mind to catch up to them.
No, no, I won't be stealing another cheat item from the MC. Instead, I had something different in mind.
What else you ask? We'll hard work.
Anyway, it's quite late and I have to attend class tomorrow so I better go to sleep.
After storing the bow inside of Ai's bracelet, I just rolled on my bed and went to sleep.
At the heart of Etheria lay the grand supercontinent that had once united the races in a shared expanse. However, as the elves, dwarves, and other inhabitants arrived, the supercontinent fragmented into four distinct parts, each coming to represent a harmonious blend of diverse cultures and peoples.
The elves and dwarves, who possessed a deep affinity with the natural world and craftsmanship, had found their abode in the southern and northern continents, respectively. Their presence lent an air of enchantment to these lands, infusing them with an ethereal beauty that resonated with the essence of the races that called them home.
The harmony shared between humans, elves, and dwarves was a testament to the unity they had fostered—a unity that allowed their civilizations to flourish side by side.
In stark contrast, the western continent stood as a sombre testament to the turmoil that had once gripped the world. It was a land forever tainted by the scars of a past conflict—a battlefield where humanity and its allies had clashed with the malevolent forces of demons and their ilk.
Though humanity had managed to thwart the demons' conquest, the cost had been staggering, leaving the western continent a barren wasteland rife with monsters and otherworldly horrors.
It was the dwarves who, harnessing the power of luminar crystals, had erected an impenetrable barrier that encompassed the western lands. This barrier, born from the melding of dwarven ingenuity and the crystals' ancient magic, ensured that the terrors within remained confined, unable to further afflict the world.
Thus, the western continent became known as the "Dead Land," its history a stark reminder of the price of victory.

"That's all for today's History class, you better study or you are going to fail in writing test."
Miss Lillian said as she left the class.
In this class, I was so bored, because I already knew all of this.
Anyway, today is the day my second time going to [ Research Department ] so I better hurry.
I thought as I left the class.
