Chapter 24: Ability Test

I hide the dagger under my clothes in a way that even if it's hidden I can wield it easily, I tested how I can maneuver the dagger and I had the hand for it, now I just need to test the strength of it. 

It's strange, when that black fog started englobing the room I felt like some eyes were staring at me, not those of my mentor but some different ones, it was almost like if there were 3 persons in the room, somebody that was hiding in that fog and then disappeared after it returned back in the dagger.

Jack moves to his right and takes a long sword from a shelf made of wood with various swords, the blade has a handle made of some material that looks gold, and the light of the room shines on the blade of the sword.

“Well? I need to see and experience your skills with that dagger now.“ The lost stare he had before now it's replaced with a look of determination and challenge, he rise his hand and all of the objects in the room start to disappear.

We are in a white space that looks almost infinite, I glance at his hand and see that he held an object that has the form of a cube with various holes in it, “You are probably wondering how we got teleported here, “ He lifts the cube to make it easier to get a look, “This is an artifact.“

“Artifact?“ I repeat after him, “Yes, they are antique creations of the ancient races that existed before us, only little details are understandable by us, most text on their manuscripts are not readable by any person.“

“Now we are in a dimension created by this cube, Orion, this is what artifacts that create dimensions are called, they can be useful for moments like these.“ He makes the strange cube with holes disappear, “Now, let's start.“ He says as he wields his weapons towards me, I quickly take my dagger and grip the handle before imbuing the dagger, it feels as if the dagger responds to my mana, I look at it and see it wasting my mana.

What the hell_

Why did it reject my mana_ I think before looking at the dagger being enveloped by a black aura.

*This!!*

Jack dashes suddenly on my way as I do some steps to move away from him, his sword slashes towards me, and my hands move instinctively, blocking the fast slash by doing one that blocked it.

I glance at the dagger before looking at the aura in expansion, *This mana doesn't feel like mine...* I think before Jack stands in front of me ready to move his sword again.

"Khh...!", I mutter in pain, "What-s wrong Elizabeth? That's all you got brat?!" Jack yells before breaking the ground by using a simple movement from his sword, my mind starts to get confused by the immense white of the room and the continuous dodges.

}Fine, if he wants me to do my best then I'll do it}

I infuse this time my mana in the dagger in a more forcing way, this time the dagger isn't defiant and accepts my mana, fire exits from the dagger as I do a long step before grabbing Jack's wrist and taking the dagger to his throat, "Not bad." He says before it vanishes, I get goosebumps and I get away from there instinctively seeing him from behind.

I attack Jack while using the fire coming from my dagger and throwing it at him, making it have the form and the movements of electricity, Jack maneuvers his axis and changes the direction of the fire. 

Drops of sweat fall on my eyes causing me to blink, before even opening my eyes Jack's sword is pointed towards my stomach.

After some seconds, he puts the sword on his sheat, "Good work brat, you fought really well."

"Damnit..." I feel Jack staring at me as if he has something that he wants to ask me, "What's wrong?", He shrugs his shoulders before responding to me, "Hmph... Nothing important brat."

The white dimension starts to fade, and my brain and body feel happiness as they see some color and objects, I jump on my feet, "So I can really keep the dagger! I can really keep it?!" I say full of enthusiasm.

"Stop repeating it, you can keep the dagger brat." He says without turning his back, "Let-s get back to the castle."

After we exit from the door we hear somebody speaking.

"Long time no see, Jack." Some woman that looked almost over her sixties says, her hair is mixed between the color of blueberries and a soft grey due to her age, she has almost the size of Jack, and her equipment consists of a simple wand that doesn't emit any type of energy.

*Uh... Is the dagger reacting to it?*
