145 Sure-Fire Tes

"Yep, that confirms it, it really is you!" Jayden said with a cute chuckle, lightening up her tone, bringing her daggers away from Moby's face.

"What the fuck! Of course, it's me! My voice is pretty hard not to recognize!" Moby said, cold sweat running down his face as he took off his hood, revealing his face as he was free to move once again. 

"Hehe, well, I could not see your face and, if I moved my hands to take your hood off I would have put myself at risk as it would give the opponent a chance to counter and catch me off guard. So, what I did was the quickest sure-fire way to see if you were real or not as I knew that I would not be able to harm you even if I wanted to," Jayden said with a chuckle. 

"Okay, fine, I guess it did make a lot of sense, you just shocked me a bit that's all," Moby said, his face still sweating.

'Fuck… If only she knew that if she held enough hatred and killing intent towards me she would be able to attack me whenever she wanted…' Moby thought, making Avilia chuckle at his misfortune from his head. 

"Shock? You think you are the one that was shocked? I woke up to a loud crashing sound and the first thing I saw was a hooded man wearing unknown armour standing suspiciously beside my PC, how did you expect me to react?" Jayden asked, a serious look in her eyes.

"Yeah, your right, sorry, I know I fucked up," Moby said, rubbing the back of his head.

"So, anyway, what were you even doing? What was that sound? And, what is with that new set of armour? It looks dope!" Jayden asked with stars in her eyes, feeling Moby's armour up and down with her fingers.

"He he, well, long story short, I was crafting new weapons and armours for everyone as a surprise. I tried my best to not wake you up but some of the stuff fell on the ground while I was working which woke you up," Moby replied with a slightly red smile as Jayden continued to feel up his new armour. 

"Really! New equipment for everyone as a surprise! That's so sweet of you! Where is it? Gimmie gimmie gimmie!" Jayden said with clear excitement in her voice.

"I managed to store them all in my inventory just as you woke up, here is what I whipped up for you," Moby said, pulling out Jayden's equipment from his inventory, putting his hands out to give them to her.

"Wowwwww! That's amazing!" Jayden said, jumping up and down in excitement, grabbing the equipment out of Moby's hands before immediately putting them on using her inventory. 

"So, do you like it? Be honest. I spent a good amount of time designing it, don't hold back and sugar coat your opinion," Moby said, looking at Jayden with a smile, already knowing what her answer would be just from the expression on her face.

"Like it!? I love it! It fits me, and my style perfectly! You do sure know me quite well! But, you know that you did not have to go through all of that time and effort to design this, I could always just use my doppelganger powers to make it into whatever I want. Plus, I would probably be wearing this disguised as my school uniform 99% of the time anyway. But, I really do appreciate the thought and effort," Jayden said with a chuckle.

"Haha! Of course, I know that you would probably just wear the armour as your school uniform but I still wanted to give you something cool and unique to wear when we require armour. What kind of boyfriend would I have been if I just gave you plain black clothing and told you to just make it into whatever you wanted?" Moby asked with a confident expression on his face.

"Yeah, that is true… I really do appreciate the thought, thanks darling," Jayden said, hopping up to Moby, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"No problem at all, it is the least I could do," Moby replied. 

"So, anyway, the last armour set you gave me had a few special effects and bonuses, I assume this one is no different? I already feel like I am much stronger wearing it than the last one," Jayden asked with excitement. 

"So, this armour…"

After Moby explained the special effects of the armour to Jayden, she somehow got even more excited than before. She explained to him how adapting to a new body was extremely hard and tiring both mentally and physically and how his armour would be a big help and relieve a lot of the hardship from her.

Moby also handed her the new daggers he had forged for her, they looked similar to the old ones that he gave her, black with blue, shadowy runic markings only this time they looked more elegant and expensive which was a result of Moby's increased proficiency at using the crafting menu.

After Moby explained to her what her daggers did, she decided to test them out immediately by throwing them at her wall, causing a massive dent where they crashed before teleporting them back to her hands, showing that the teleport effect was the same as her old daggers. 

Then, she tried to imagine her daggers duplicating, making her be able to make a maximum of 4 fake daggers in her hands making her really excited. Then, she threw all 6 of her daggers at the wall all at once, seeing that the fake ones simply vanished as they made contact on the wall while the real ones did their intended jobs. Also, after a little bit of experimenting, she found out that she could somewhat control the trajectory of her fake daggers, making them swerve and change directions mid-air which made them extremely hard to dodge even though they were fake.

After Jayden finished testing out her equipment, they both decided to head to the arena where they saw Abby still hard at work practicing her scythe skills, heavy sweat running down her face. 

She was surprised to see him and Jayden wearing a new set of armour when Moby suddenly pulled out her very own armour from his inventory, surprising her even more, making her bow deeply, trying to hold back the tears in her eyes, thanking Moby profusely for his kindness and generosity, a step up from her saying that she was unworthy and did not deserve it which made Moby really happy to see that she was somewhat lightening up and moving away from her childhood trauma. 

She humbly accepted the set of armour that Moby handed to her and wore it using her inventory.

She wore a scaly mostly black with red patterns half cloth and half metal armour that covered most of her body. Her equipment consisted of a red cloak and scarf covered that most of her face, a red ribbon used to tie her long hair into a ponytail, a hard, scaly chest piece that went into cloth pants that had various scaly and metal guards, elegant black and red metal shoes that went up almost to her knees, long, scaly gloves that went almost up to her elbows. And, just like Moby's armour, despite all the metallic and scaly materials, the armour was still fairly light and allowed her to be very nimble while wearing it. 

Also, although the armour did not show much skin like her previous ones, it still had a very tight fit that displayed all of her bountiful assets in a way that it was not in people's faces but they know they exist, making her look really elegant and attractive while wearing it. 

Moby also gave her the new scythe that he crafted, one that was slightly larger than the one that she had, boasting a cooler design and structure as it bent more and had more linings and fiery red runic patterns, it also had a better grip than her old one, leading it to be much easier to control, making her extremely excited, profusely thanking Moby once again, telling him that she absolutely loved the design to death and she how she would not have wanted it any other way.

Moby then explained to her the effects of her armour and weapon, how she kept her life steal while she was at the same time able to have her undead farther away and how her buffing spells were now more potent and effective than before.

After dealing with all of Abby's tears of Joy and thankful nature, giving Moby a warm feeling on the inside, the group finally decided to have their breakfast before they had to go to school. After they finished their meal, they all went to have a shower and brush their teeth before wearing their school uniform, Jayden just wearing her new armour before transforming and disguising it as her school uniform, taking advantage of her doppelganger powers just like usual.

While Moby was getting ready, he asked Avilia if she was able to dismantle his currently existing armour back into materials so he could resell them to make some of his money back, making her reply by saying,

"Hell yeah I can, although you will definitely lose some of its value."

Which was not a problem with Moby. So, he decided to ask his teammates for their old weapons and equipment, dismantling them before posting them back up on Qbay where he first found them in order to make some of his money back. However, he did decide to keep his novice demon katana as its special effect of consecutive hits causing increasing damage could come in handy in the future, especially against slow and tanky opponents, just like that lycan he fought back during the exam.

After they all finished preparing, they all went to the limousine where the butler had already been waiting for them, Jayden giving him an awkward look before it faded away a few seconds later. Ever since she saw him being so aggressive and carefree when she was in Damian's body, she never really saw him the same way. He had been her personal butler ever since she was a baby and she never even saw a hint or glimpse of that side of him as she always assumed that he was a cool-headed and well-mannered person at all times, it really came as a reality check to her. 

During the car ride, Moby, Jayden and Abby discussed and cracked jokes about how many fake girls would be trying to get Moby's attention and love after they hear the rumours of his greatly increased strength and how he won a bunch of money from the bets. And they would all be those exact same girls that scorned and mocked him in the past. They also made bets about if general Ryker was still in office or had been replaced or even outright fired after the disaster that was the last exam, causing them to laugh even harder, making the butler sigh as he still had absolutely no idea what was going on.

Alex was the only person that he did not give the new equipment to so, he decided he would do it at the end of the day when they go back to their dorms. And, speaking of his dorm, it has been over 3 weeks since he had seen his other roommate, Ray, the short blue hair kid that was in the tech division. He was someone that Moby really liked and admired, one of the very few people at school that can claim to be liked by Moby. it made him wondered how his exams went and how he was doing as neither he nor Alex had been in contact with him in so long...
