A few days later.
Rea was having breakfast with his family. The mood was quite down because it was time for Rea to leave. Luckily, they weren't in their previous base anymore, so Rea could call them any time.
"You are leaving today, right?" The Sword Saint glanced at Rea while observing her expression.
"Yes."
"In that case, follow me after this. There is something I want to give you."
"I understand." Rea nodded, not knowing what he wanted to give. As soon as they had finished their meals, the Sword Saint brought her to his office.
Rea was looking around to see what kind of special item her father could give her.
Meanwhile, her father walked to the cupboard and took out something covered by purple cloth.
"Mhm? A sword?" Rea narrowed her eyes.
"I can't give you my sword since I'll pass it down to Sojuro, but I think you should get this sword," said the Sword Saint while taking out the sword. From a single glance, she could see the laced purple handle and a black scabbard. "Please take this…"
"This sword…" Rea gently received the sword and slightly pulled it out to see the blade. The design itself looked old and the color had faded a bit, but surprisingly, the blade still looked sharp and clean as if it had been taken care of this whole time. "What is this sword?"
"There was once a strong woman that dominated Japan with her sword. Her name was Akagawa Ryoko."
"Akagawa Ryoko… Wait, that name… The Sword Queen?!" Rea widened her eyes, recognizing this name. It was a legend from a few generations ago, so there wasn't much record about her. However, there was indeed a woman called the Sword Queen that dominated Japan at that time.
Her name was Akagawa Ryoko. But there was another meaning to this name that shocked Rea. She looked at her father and said, "Father… Isn't this…"
"Yes. That sword was my teacher's sword."
That was right. Akagawa Ryoko was special to the Nagasawa Family because she was the master of the current Sword Saint. It could be said the reason why the Sword Saint could exist right now was because of her.
And the sword he gave Rea was her sword.
"Since you haven't known about this, I'll tell you about one trick. You can actually turn a normal item into an artifact by letting your Magic Power coat that weapon for a long time.
"I'll let Theo handle your education about the seals, so ask him about the details. Nevertheless, that sword was an artifact. The Magic Power had subsided a little because I tried to preserve the body since I had to sacrifice the sword if I wanted the energy to remain.
"So, that sword right now can be said as an artifact, but it's not at the level of an artifact as well. Just call it a pseudo-artifact.
"I can guarantee that the sword is sharp and the lingering energy, though small, it's still ferocious. This will serve as good training for you, and you can turn this sword back into an artifact without taking as much time and effort.
"I want to give you this sword." The Sword Saint smiled.
"But Father, this sword is your teacher's sword. It must have a special attachment to you." Rea wanted to reject it, but the Sword Saint shook his head.

"A sword is meant to be used. A sword that can only be a decoration is not a sword. So, I want you to use this sword. Its length and sharpness are better than your current sword. I'll be more assured if you wield this sword."
Rea looked down. After her father said all that, it was hard for her to reject him again. At the same time, the sword looked powerful from the explanation alone and it had a history.
It looked like her father wanted to protect her through this sword. Rejecting it would be the same as shaming her father.
With a serious expression, Rea received this sword properly and bowed her head. "Thank you very much, Father."
The Sword Saint patted Rea's shoulder. "Be careful out there, will you?"
"Yes. I'll protect myself."
Rea smiled as she packed up everything and met Theo at the airport before lunch.
They knew Theo was flying back to the US unlike when he came in without any announcement. So, the people were already waiting outside the airport to thank him for giving them a chance to increase their strength.
It was so wild to the point the police were concentrated in this area just to make sure nothing happened.
Of course, Theo had to go to the airport by car. He just waved his hand to them. Although he didn't underestimate anyone, the only people who could threaten his life were only the Daemon, the Sword Saint, and the Heavenly Sovereign. So, Theo didn't mind doing all this.
Agata was beside him, waiting patiently inside together with Ryo and Ergene.
Zhao Jia was the one controlling everything behind the scene, solving all the problems to make sure the entire process could go smoothly.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Sovereign and the Sword Saint were waiting for him in front of his plane together. The Daemon wanted to go as well, but they couldn't leave this base defenseless, so the Daemon was the one taking care of their defense.
Theo smiled and shook their hands as a formality.
"Thank you for coming here. You can stay here, you know." The Heavenly Sovereign smirked.
"Haha, I'll pass for now." Theo chuckled. "In fact, you might be the one who would live in the US after this…"
"Hoho? Is that an invitation? When do you want me to go there?"
"Who knows?" Theo shrugged before finally entering the airplane and finding Rea waiting inside.
"It seems you have a good vacation." Theo smiled, seeing her bright face.
"Thanks to you." Rea smiled from ear to ear, expressing her happiness to Theo.
After everyone took their seats, the plane finally took off to the sky.
