Erik finally picked them up not quite knowing how to react, he had never owned good weapons, as they were rare and expensive.
The Sun Sect instructors always kept the best weapons for themselves or for their favorite students, but Erik wasn't one of those lucky students, at least, he wasn't one of them.
Now he felt like he had hit the jackpot, first because Axel had chosen him to be his student and then thanks to Kevin's knowledge, he knew that he was finally going to get really, really strong.
He still found it hard to believe this was real, Kevin was a super assassin with incredible abilities and he was also the bearer of the pentagram mark ... A super assassin and the future best mage of their world, and this man was his friend and he was ready to teach him, who in his right mind would refuse this opportunity ?
Plus, Alan seemed determined to protect Kevin, so obviously, his life was going to change dramatically from now on.
But he wasn't scared, on the contrary he was really excited, his instinct told him that it was for the best.
Life in a Sect wasn't all that exhilarating, the only thing he loved here was Alan, the rest didn't matter and most of all he dreamed of traveling across the continent and maybe even beyond.
When he took the weapons in his hands he immediately felt their powers and Kevin smiled when he saw the expression of surprise on his face, Erik said to him : "Damn Kevin, I don't know how much they have cost you but I probably don't have enough money to pay you back."
Kevin looked at him with a gentle smile and said : "It's a gift Erik, and besides, I haven't finished yet what I wanted to give you ... In your opinion, how long are they going to argue ?"
Erik laughed feeling a little embarrassed : "Alan is very stubborn, I think it will take Axel a while to convince him, but I'm sure that Axel wouldn't put your life in danger so he must have the right arguments to reassure Alan."
Kevin nodded : "He told me that he had already been inside a dungeon with a purple vortex, and with the help of the both of you there would be no problem.
He also said that we just needed to find you some good weapons to boost your Stats to the maximum and it should be fine, by the way it reminds me, do you want me to try to see your Stats ?"
Erik answered him without hesitation : "Of course Kevin ! Wow, this is just too cool !"
Kevin could see that Erik was really excited by all of this, and he was glad that he had accepted it so well.
He then told him, before activating his perception skill : "Put down the axes, I want to see your Stats without the weapons."
Erik obediently put down the axes and he was eager to know if Kevin could see his Stats or not.

Kevin was amazed and delighted, he could finally see the Stats of one of his friends, and Erik's Stats were very good, he told him everything and he also gave him the Stats of the axes and the scabbard he had found for him and that he was going to modify.
Erik didn't know if his Stats were good or not, but with the addition of the Stats from the weapons that Kevin had found for him, they would be for sure.
He saw Kevin pull out the scabbard and some leather straps, as well as some tinkering material, and in less than 10min, he had designed a double scabbard for him so that he could carry his axes on his back at all times.
Erik hissed really impressed, and he tried it with the axes right away.
He then felt a drastic change in his whole body, he was lighter and it was like he also had become much stronger than before, that feeling was truly amazing and very enjoyable.
He chose to test his new strength on the equipment near him, and to his surprise, when he moved the machines he didn't even feel their weight it was as if they were as light as a feather.
He immediately asked Kevin : "The change in my Stats isn't permanent is it ... it's only when I carry the axes with me."
Kevin nodded : "Yes, it's only when you are carrying them."
Kevin looked again at his Stats and his Strength points had been increased by 290, his Agility points by 140, and his Stamina points by 35, it was a very good start.
He suddenly said to Erik : "Do you mind if I make mine too, in addition to my daggers, I decided to also wear shortswords, on the one hand it increases my Stats considerably, and on the other hand shortswords are more useful when I need to behead monsters."
Erik was a little surprised by his detached tone, as if beheading monsters was something completely normal.
Then he remembered that he had been an assassin in his past life and that he had probably killed a lot of people, which is why he probably didn't care about killing monsters.
Well, it was in his past life, he wasn't an assassin anymore so it was fine, he said smiling at him : "Go ahead, go ahead, don't mind me ..."
Erik got curious and he asked him : "Could you tell me your Stats afterwards ?"
Kevin laughed and said : "Of course !"
Kevin only needed a few more minutes to make a double scabbard for his shortswords and then he took them from his magic bag and wore them with his new ready-made double scabbard.
He chose to look at his own Stats fully equipped with all his weapons and items, and when he was finally ready he opened the holographic screen of his System and focus on the Stats menu.

Kevin had just remembered that he hadn't yet distributed his points earned by killing the dungeon boss, and as usual he put everything in his Perception points which increased to 71.
When he gave his Stats to Erik, he hissed again in admiration : "Kevin you are really exceptional, no wonder Axel is crazy about you ... By the way, do you have already done it or not yet."
Kevin looked at him speechless, was that really a question that could be asked, but after all, friends surely shared this kind of stuff with each other, so he decided to be honest : "No, not yet, but I told him that I was ready to go further in our relationship, so I think tonight will be our first night."
Erik laughed and he took out a small pot from his magic bag, he handed it to him : "Here, it's an ointment that Alan has created, it's made with magical herbs, and let's just say that if you put this ointment you know where, it will be much easier for Axel to get in and for you it will take almost all the pain away.
Believe me, as it's your first time to make love, by using this, it's going to be a magical night."
Kevin took it without hesitating, considering the size of Axel's member, if this ointment could help them for their first time he wouldn't say no, and he didn't forget to thank Erik warmly for that.
After this little interlude, and as their men still hadn't made an appearance, Kevin decided to show Erik a few simple movements so he could start practicing with his axes.
Space was really limited in this room but Kevin explained to Erik that it was not bad because he had to be able to fight anywhere, and adapt to any situation even if he was in a tiny place.
Kevin knew that Erik had that kind of potential, but the latter was not yet aware of it.
Erik was like a rough jewel that he had to take the time to polish so that he could show his full potential.
Kevin then began by explaining to him where the center of gravity of the axes was, and how to hold them and strike with them to be able to use all their powers.
