"So what do you think?" Riveta's asked her tone that of deep satisfaction.
"That was amazing!"
"Short but amazing," Noah responded walking closer to her now that she had stored the daggers.
"I'm glad you liked it. This is the least I can do for creating something that could kill you. After all, they'll be in my protection from now on," Ruveta revealed, and Noah suddenly chuckled out loud.
"I want my daggers," he quickly revealed. Needless to say, his words made Riveta tilt her head in confusion.
"What do you mean?" She felt forced to ask.
"I said I wasn't my daggers. Give them to me like that," Noah stated with a light snort.
"How do you expect to carry them around? They can kill you don't forget," she tried to find a reason he couldn't have them. And in a normal situation, her words would have been valid.
But dealing with Noah made Normal take a back seat.
In a normal instance, a tier 3 cultivator would not have a spatial device capable of storing a tier 4 item, but Noah had the inventory, which could even store tier 5 objects.
"I'll deal with that by myself," Noah responded. At this point, he understood what the expert was trying to do.
Riveta narrowed her eyes at his words.
"Are you telling me you have something capable of storing tier 4 objects?" She asked, more daringly than a normal inquiry.
"That is exactly what I'm telling you," Noah responded with a blank expression, but he watched Riveta's twist in surprise and shock.
"What do you mean by that?" Her bewilderment showed in her tone.
"I meant exactly what I said," Noah responded waving his hand dismissively as if expecting her to be used to his surprises.
"Can I have the daggers now?" Noah spoke in an almost complain-like tone, and Riveta responded by allowing the daggers appear mid-air, from which Noah immediately waved his hand ceremoniously and stored the daggers in his inventory.
Riveta placed her hand on her forehead, then her chest rose and fell in a deep sigh.
"I should have expected this," She muttered even if her words sounded outrageous to her own ears.
"I don't know about that, but thank you for the daggers," Noah bowed while his face healed of the cuts that had appeared on it.
Another sigh, this time light, exited Riveta's mouth and she waved dismissively at him.
"No thank you of letting me touch such fine work. I'd love to know who forged them," she revealed.
"I don't know the person," Noah quickly cleared out, but his words didn't seem to spoil her mood since she nodded at him and their figures vanished In a bright blue light.
Noah opened his eyes in the sitting room they had been in before he lost consciousness apparently two days prior.
Both individuals took their seats, and a companionable silence befell them.
"I'll be leaving soon," Noah revealed after a few minutes had passed, but Riveta didn't immediately give him a response.
"I know, that's why I got that skill for you," she explained, now serious.
"I sincerely thank you for your help. They were unwarranted since I've not done anything spectacular for you. But you did these anyway. And for that I am highly grateful," Noah continued now on his feet and in a bowing position.
Riveta didn't wave at him this time around. Her gaze, although light; radiated pride, and Noah couldn't blame her.
"You may rise," she spoke at some point and Noah took his seat.
"Will you be leaving immediately?' She asked, her tone suddenly somber.
"No. I'm planning on staying a couple of days maybe two, then I'll get going," Noah explained calculating the time left before he was mostly required to return to the guild.
He already had a destination in mind. A town, and he planned to visit it.
He had decided to give himself two weeks extra. Whether or not he would use that amount of time depended on what would happen during his travel.
"I see. Then you are welcomed to stay until you leave," Riveta declared standing up from her chair.
"It's been a fun ride getting to know you, Aiden,"she revealed with a light smile, and Noah couldn't help but feel a tinge of guilt.
He felt she deserved to know his real name, but he knew he wouldn't make the move of telling her.
"Thank you," Noah replied and she waved her hand causing a blue light to wash over him after which he appeared in his assigned room.
Noah pulled up his stats at that point, just to gaze at their incredible numbers.

Shockingly, staring at those digits didn't bring him joy or excitement. Something about reaching the peak of the third tier and not being able to even cultivate to increase his strength made that scene almost useless.
Or maybe it was because he had tasted what true power felt like, and his existence now desired a new level of might.
However way, Noah didn't move at the sight of his stats. He recalled the items and of course the skill he had gotten from the Hunted maze dungeon.
They weren't many, numbering only three, but they had the potential to be of great use.
[Extendable hollow arms(Active)[Tier3]: When activated you generate nine arms with the same abilities of the Hollow beasts. These arms are immune to physical attacks, but can be deterred by magical attacks]
[Cost: 20% SE Reserves, Duration: 20-minutes, Cool-down: 10-minutes]
Noah liked the skill, and couldn't wait to use it fully in battle. It would prove to be very difficult to beat since the arms would be untouchable by physical things.
