Danmachi: Reaper

It had already been decided that Lefiya would join Kelvin to go to the dungeon.

"Oh, that's right. Before we go, I have to meet the captain first." Kelvin remembered Finn telling him that his weapon was ready today, so they could go to get it.

"Ah, do I have to wait in front of Babylon?" Lefiya asked.

The location of the dungeon was under Babylon's menawa, so it wasn't strange for Lefiya to ask that.

Kelvin thought for a moment before shaking his head, "Mn, no need. You can wait here. It won't take long."

After all, he had no intention of letting Lefiya wait alone in a public place. If anything happened to Lefiya, she would definitely become the target of the other Familia members; especially Loki and Riveria.

"Ah, alright then." Lefiya didn't think much and just nodded.

Kelvin left there and went to Finn's office.

Arriving at Finn's office door, Kelvin knocked on it several times.

"Captain, it's me Kelvin."

After a while, he could hear a voice from inside.

"Ah, Kelvin, yes. Come in."

Opening the door, Kelvin immediately found Finn drowning among the many documents placed on his desk.

"Looks like you're very busy, Captain."

Although he was wearing a blindfold, but he could tell there were many piles of documents on Finn's desk thanks to his skills.

Of course, with all those documents, Kelvin was horrified. If it was him, then it was certain that he would retire on the first day of work.

"Ahaha, I see." Finn laughed awkwardly while rubbing his head.

This kind of thing was not something that rarely happened. As Captain Loki of the Familia, it was Finn's job to take care of all matters related to the Familia.

He calculated all the expenses and income of the Familia, the cost of consumption, equipment, weapons and many things such as alliances with other Familia and many other things.

Although he is assisted by Gareth and Riveria, the two of them take care of different matters.

Gareth usually takes care of the Familia's weaponry, while Riveria is more flexible as she will help Finn in some of his other tasks.

Even so, Riveria was also busy with her activities that had to teach a group of Elves to practice Magic. That was why today there were many things that Finn had to do alone.

Moreover, it wasn't long before they were going on another expedition. He had to make sure the earnings from the previous expedition were fully sold, in order for them to get extra money for accommodation for the next expedition.

"You must have come to ask about your weapons, right?" The movie didn't mince words and went straight to the main topic, "I've already said this with Tsubaki, and you can just go get it. Sorry, but I can't accompany you to go."

Kelvin nodded at Finn's words. After all, Finn was busy at the moment, and it wasn't the right decision for him to leave the task just to accompany him to pick up the weapons.

"Oh, and I've already paid for the weapons, you don't have to worry. You just have to pick it up from Tsubaki." Finn added.

"Ah, once again I thank you, Captain." Kelvin bowed his body sincerely, "I will definitely pay my debt as soon as possible!"

The advantage of joining a large Familia was that he didn't have to worry about finances. Moreover, with the talent and skills he possessed, the Familia would definitely prioritize him more than anything else.

He was the future of the Familia!

Finn knew this clearly, especially since Kelvin's age was longer than other humans, since he was a High-Human.

As such, Kelvin's growth rate was unlimited, and his strength would be even stronger in the future.

This was a very profitable long-term investment, whether it was for Kelvin or for Familia herself.

"Well, don't be so rigid." Finn waved his hand lightly, "Didn't I say that Familia will lend you the money now, but in return you have to repay it at a later date. Although, you don't have to pay it back so soon. While you are becoming strong, that is all that matters to the Familia."

Loki Familia's goal was to become the strongest Familia in Orario by defeating Freya Familia.

Currently, although they had the advantage with more 1st class adventurers, but Freya Familia's Captain Ottar was a level 7 1st class adventurer, which Loki Familia did not have.

So, even though they were ahead in the number of class 1 adventurers, they lost because they didn't have any level 7 adventurers.

Finn, Riveria, and Gareth have been working hard to reach level 7 for a long time. It's just that they still haven't made enough achievements to level up.

And, that was also the reason why Finn had high hopes for Kelvin.

After all, with the skills Kelvin had, it wasn't impossible for him to level up faster than most others.

"Even so, I still have to thank you." Kelvin shook his head lightly, "Familia has helped me a lot, so I definitely won't let you guys down!"

"Well, it's good that you think so." Finn smiled, and was happy to see Kelvin's determination.

Although their two ideologies were different, but that didn't mean they would be hostile to each other.

Finn, of course, respected every difference, and he was open to every ideology that each individual believed in.

Kelvin's ideology, which is not the type of "Hero" like himself, must have a certain reason.

He wanted to be a Hero for his race, so he wanted to be strong to guide and show the other Pallum races, that if a weak race like them could also be the strongest.

But, Kelvin was different. He didn't care about the ideology of a Hero, and at the same time, he was also a Villain.

What Kelvin believed in was, he only did what he had to do, while he didn't care if it involved unnecessary things.

That's why Finn didn't really hate Kelvin's ideology, because if seen from another point of view, Kelvin's ideology was also like a hero.

*****

As Finn said, Kelvin went to Hephaestus Familia to get his weapon from Tsubaki.

Since they had met before, the process didn't take long. He just came, looked for Tsubaki, and then took the weapon.

Although, she was flirted with by Tsubaki, but it was just a small episode that didn't need to be mentioned.

"How was it?"

Tsubaki asked curiously.

"It looks great." Kelvin swung his large scythe and felt that it felt very light, although at the same time the blade was very sharp.

But, there was one thing that bothered him since he had been holding this scythe since just now....

"Isn't this just a third-grade weapon? Why do I feel this is so powerful?" Kelvin asked in confusion.

As someone who had studied every weapon in the world, Kelvin could of course distinguish between the bad and the best.

And the scythe in his hand..., this was not the third-rate weapon he knew. Its power alone could rival a second-rate weapon, and its sharpness was no less than a first-rate weapon.

Then, the material of this scythe is also ....

"Hahaha! You do realize that it's not a mere first-class weapon. Finn secretly asked me to make you a stronger scythe, and well, that scythe can be called a semi-first-class weapon." Tsubaki laughed as she placed both hands on her hips.

"Although it's stronger than a second-class weapon, but it can't be called a first-class weapon." Tsubaki explained, "That's why I call it a semi-first-class weapon."

Kelvin was beginning to understand everything now.

Finn had secretly bought him a more powerful and expensive weapon than what they should have ordered.

"Even so, since I have no experience making scythes before, I don't know the quality." Tsubaki scratched her hair in slight frustration.

Usually, she only received orders for swords, spears, or axes. And this was the first time Tsubaki had received an order for a large scythe to be used as a weapon.

Please note that almost no one uses a large scythe as a weapon in Orario. Most of them considered it inefficient and very difficult to use for fighting.

That was also what made Tsubaki interested in Kelvin.

However, all she knew was that Kelvin was blind, so she was curious how Kelvin would fight using the large scythe as his weapon.

"Let me try it." Kelvin nodded at Tsubaki's words.

After all, his desire to use the big scythe was not without reason. It was made so by the author of the story to make the story different from most others.

Moreover, isn't it cool? Using a large scythe while he was wearing a long black robe with a mask covering his face?

Well, Kelvin thought he would buy a mask or maybe make his own later.

He wanted Anbu's mask from the Naruto anime. It would look cool when combined with the long black robe and the big scythe in his hand.

Oh, by the way, this scythe Kelvin was holding was quite large, the length of the handle alone reached 180cm, even exceeding Kelvin's own height.

While the blade is curved and quite large, with a length of about 60cm.

Overall, the color of Kelvin's scythe was jet black, with some white ornaments on the handle and top blade of the scythe.

"It honestly looks good." Kelvin nodded at the design of this scythe. Although it was quite long, but its efficiency would be even more pronounced for attacking enemies from medium range.

After all, the reason why Kelvin chose the scythe was because it was a close-medium range type weapon, but it was also suitable for fighting multiple enemies at once, increasing the efficiency of its use when combined with Kelvin's skills!

*Swosh! Swosh! Swosh!

Kelvin swung his scythe a few times, and was surprised that it felt so light in his hands.

"What do you think?" Tsubaki asked with a grin.

"It's amazing!" Kelvin couldn't help but be amazed.

Although this was Tsubaki's first time making a scythe, she made it very well.

"Of course. I added attributes that make it feel light when swung. In addition, there's the Durandal attribute that makes it extremely strong and indestructible." Tsubaki felt proud of Kelvin's praise. She laughed as she placed her hands on her waist.

"Ah, although this Scythe has the Durandal attribute, it doesn't mean it's immune to any kind of damage. Please take note of that. And also, this Scythe can also be blunted, so you still need to take good care of it."

"I see. Thank you for reminding me." Kelvin bowed his body sincerely.

This time, he was helped by many people to make this Scythe. And in return, he would not let them down.

'I will definitely level up today!'

That was the decision Kelvin had made in his head.

"By the way, what is this weapon?" Kelvin asked curiously.

Surely, as a weapon whose power rivaled that of other second-rate weapons, it wouldn't be strange if it had a name.

So, he asked this to Tsubaki, who made this scythe. Considering it should be the blacksmith who would name the weapon they made.

"Hmm, I don't have any ideas. How about naming it yourself?" Tsubaki grinned as she looked at Kelvin.

"Is that alright?" Kelvin asked doubtfully.

"Well, let's not worry about unimportant things." Tsubaki waved her hand dismissively, before her grin grew wider than before, "anyway, this Scythe seems to like you. So, it would be more suitable if the owner of this Scythe named the weapon."

That sounded reasonable to Kelvin.

Thinking of the Scythe's name, Kelvin almost had no idea at all.

After all, he had no experience in naming weapons. Because usually he would just call the weapons he used by their original names.

He didn't really name them, okay?

"Name, yes ...." Kelvin muttered, as his gaze shifted to the Scythe in his hand.

To name the large Scythe, it definitely had to be a cool name that described the Scythe itself.

"...Corrosion Scythe. How about that?" Kelvin asked as he looked at Tsubaki.

"Oh-ho, nice name, kid!"

Tsubaki laughed as she patted his back a few times. Of course, it wasn't a light pat as Kelvin could feel his back burning as Tsubaki patted him.

*******

"Ah, Kelvin-san! You're back?" Lefiya, who saw Kelvin's figure walking towards her, waved her hand as she walked up to Kelvin.

"Yes, I've got my weapon here. We can go straight now." said Kelvin as he pointed at the Scythe on his back.

Lefiya then noticed the large Scythe with a long handle behind Kelvin's back. Because the handle was too long, the tip of the Scythe was sticking out beyond Kelvin's own head.

Also, it was huge ....

Lefiya was dumbfounded!

Is Kelvin-san really using a Scythe this big as his weapon?!

Well, even though it says it's big, it's not that big, okay?

Lefiya is just exaggerating things here!

"Yup! It's cool, right?" Kelvin grinned.

"Mn," Lefiya nodded, "though I don't know how you use a scythe this big."

"Well, you'll find out when we're in the dungeon later. Right now, we have to pick up the rest of our companions."

Since Sylpha's residence was outside the Manor, Kelvin had told her to stay at his inn until he picked her up.

Although Sylpha insisted on following him, she could not disobey Kelvin's orders. So she could only keep quiet and obey every word Kelvin told her.
