["Everyone, your attention!"
He said out softly, however the moment these words left his lips they seem to have been amplified by something resonating loudly in the hall room. Everyone was stunned, some even held their ears as their eardrums quivered.
Just then while they were still, stunned they froze as they noticed although his voice was still loud, it wasn't as intense as before.]
p At this moment, everyone was now staring at this particular ordinary looking old man with looks of surprise.
"Hello everyone, my name is Quzin and I will be your teacher henceforth." After he was done introducing himself, Quzin pointed at the weapons on the wall before saying out loud. "Today, your first task is to pick a weapon, however, do not be in haste because your weapon shall be your life companion after today. Your life companion shall replace your abilities when your symbiote doesn't work, at that moment what you would rely on would be your weapon.
So please everyone, you may begin to make your choice by choosing a particular weapon from the wall."
After Quzin was done speaking, he waved at everyone to begin making their choices while he moved around with a soft smile as he observed everyone and what would be their companion. Many students were surprised, including Bernard from the beginning to the end of his speech they didn't see their teacher display what type of weapon he had.
A lot of them wanted to see what type of weapon he had, in order to use it as a basis for choosing their weapon, but it seemed like they weren't given that chance making many of them disappointed. From bernard's perspective, it was either he didn't have a weapon or wasn't willing to show them for some unknown reasons.
However, although he was surprised he didn't overthink it, as he joined the rest of the students to look at the various weapons within the weapon hall. Surprisingly, even those who already had beast weapons weren't satisfied with just one since they could be seen making comparisons and contemplative thoughts about what weapon would fit in as an assistant side weapon.
Bernard walked to the front as everyone did, before letting his eyes roam around the wall before his line of sight he could see all sorts of weapons, such as spikes, scythes, swords, spears, whips, axes, sabers, blades, daggers, and even some ancient looking weapons he hadn't seen or heard of before in his entire life.
He had a look of awe as kept looking at them he realized there so much to choose from, that he was already having a hard time making his choice.
Beside him he could see Emelia, she didn't seem like she was there to choose a supportive weapon, it was more like she was on a tour as she looked at the weapons, with several expressions on her face, sometimes she would clench her staff tightly strongly expressing her will not to take another weapon.
Seeing this made Bernard shake his head, he was more curious and interested in her staff, but he wasn't going to ask for it, he just realized how much her ability perfectly matched her staff.
Among the various weapons on the wall short-range and long ranges could be seen, however, compared to short ranges weapons the long ranges weapons fell far short in terms of numbers.
Since his symbiote abilities weren't suitable for long-range weapons, he had long canceled choosing any long-range weapon in his mind. So what was left was the short-range type of weapons however he had reviewed the list to a short list of what he wanted.
He needed something that would suit him perfectly, and wouldn't affect him if he decided to cast a fire ball as well as his other symbiote abilities without causing any conflict when used.
After a while, he walked much closer to one of the weapons before him, it was just a random spear among the bunch, and activated his skill 'Appraise' which immediately displayed the stats of the spear.
[Name: Sun Spear]
[Type: tier 1 Basic Beast weapon]
[Strength: -2]
[Agility: +3]
[Status: Incompatible even after optimizing and modifying your three symbiote bloodlines]
Bernard narrowed his eyes after reading the information in the interface, although the spear had fine intricate linings on the body and he was expecting it to be something good, however after going through the information on the spear he was quite disappointed, especially after he realized the design on the spear had almost deceived him.
However, thankfully he had appraised, making him delighted at the usefulness of the skill, from briefly looking at the spear he noticed the attributes given when using such a beast weapon, although would give him +3 extra agility but it would also take -2 of his strength making his striking strength fall short. However, the most surprising thing was how much information appraise had given him, just from a single glance, moreso it had even stated the compatibility of his three symbiote bloodlines together with it.
Gradually, a smile crept up his face as he realized, he might have underestimated the usefulness of appraise before, maybe it wouldn't be so difficult trying to choose a weapon thanks to appraise he thought.
Bernard took in deep breath and exhale it was like he had taken a huge weight off his back, and also preventing him from making a bad decision. Immediately Bernard realized this miraculous aspect of appraise, he didn't waste time before he decided to go around the hall looking for the perfect life companion.
Since he had ruled out most long-range weapons, and heavy types of weapons, Bernard became fast in his search he needed something that wouldn't make all his attributes useless or average, something that would be in perfect sync with all his attributes.
So far as he went around, all the weapons he had seen were just basic tier 1 which weren't suitable since his level was already 2 and he could take on a rank 3 if he went all out, without using his other two newly acquired symbiote bloodlines.
