"Do you have something to say to me, Anderson?"
Unable to bear Anderson's overly obvious gaze, Erend directly asked him.
"Well, there is a little bit." Anderson seemed a little hesitant but finally made up his mind and said to Erend, "I heard that you have a pure star-shaped weapon called the Black Furnace Demon Sword, right?"
As soon as he heard Anderson's words, Erend knew what he wanted to say to him.
"Why?" Erend looked at Anderson, smiled, and said, "Are you interested in the Black Furnace?"
"Almost." Anderson's response was ambiguous, but his expression unconsciously became extremely serious as he said, "If possible, can you let me see your pure star-shaped weapon?"
Erend did not answer but directly took out the black engine from the inner pocket of his coat.
This move not only attracted Anderson's attention but also the two girls sitting opposite Erend and Anderson.
"This is the Black Furnace Demon Sword..."
Butler stared at the Black Furnace Demon Sword's engine, then unconsciously stretched out his hand as if he wanted to touch it.
However...
"With a crash!"
The pitch-black engine suddenly vibrated, and the red universal crystal on it glowed red, emitting intense heat as Butler's hand approached.
"It's so hot...!"
Butler quickly pulled back his hand as if electrocuted, a painful expression appearing on his face.
"Anderson, are you okay?!"
Natasha and Jenni Ortega were both surprised and spoke one after another.
"Sorry." Erend was also a little surprised. After reacting, he quickly took back the Black Furnace Demon Sword's engine and said, "I didn't expect this to happen."
That was the truth.
"It's okay, it's okay." Butler didn't seem to care much. Seeing everyone looking nervous, he laughed and said, "It seems that I am hated, ahaha."
"Can you not be so careless?" Jenni Ortega couldn't help but scold, saying, "Basically, except for the person it acknowledges, moody pure star-shaped weapons will not let others touch them. Is this common sense?"
"Is that so?" Butler seemed genuinely unaware of this fact and scratched his head.
"That's true." Erend confirmed Jenni Ortega's words but also explained, saying, "But generally speaking, when not activated, even moody pure star-shaped weapons won't react so strongly."
"Then why did your pure star-shaped weapon react so intensely?" Ferguson asked timidly.
"Ah, this..." Erend also scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. "Maybe the Black Furnace is too sensitive and doesn't want anyone else to touch it?"
Although he hadn't asked the Black Furnace Demon Sword directly, as its master, Erend could vaguely feel its thoughts.
When the Black Furnace Demon Sword refused to be touched by Anderson, Erend felt an unpleasant emotion.
Clearly, the Black Furnace Demon Sword had completely regarded itself as Erend's property and didn't want to be touched by others.
This was because it had merged with Erend and become his exclusive weapon, gaining its own will.
Jenni Ortega seemed to notice something and, whether teasing or testing, said to Erend,
"Then it seems your Pure Star Armament likes you very much. No wonder you can use the Black Furnace Demon Sword's power so incredibly well."
"What is your compatibility rate with the Black Furnace Demon Sword?" Kane also became curious but quickly realized something and said, "Oh, sorry, that's not a question I should casually ask. Please don't mind, Erend!"
When a Pure Star Armament is lent out, its information is generally made public.
Therefore, it was no secret that Erend had become the user of the Black Furnace Demon Sword.
However, compatibility rates were not always disclosed, as some people preferred to keep them private.
Knowing this, Kane immediately apologized.
"It's fine, it's not really a secret." Erend shook his head and said indifferently, "The compatibility rate between me and the Black Furnace, the final value displayed, is 100%."
Well... the final value displayed was indeed 100%, but then the screen just showed garbled symbols, not even a proper number. Erend wasn't lying.
Breaking the limit value was shocking, so discussing it publicly wasn't a good idea.
So, Erend played a little word game.
But even this was impressive enough.
"A perfect match?"
Jenni Ortega murmured, her gaze turning cautious as she looked at Erend.
"That's amazing."
Ferguson showed pure admiration.
Only Butler, being new to the city and unfamiliar with pure star-style weapons, simply felt a little regretful.
The reason he had come to this dueling city and transferred to Durmstrang was to find his sister.
Butler's sister had come here five years ago, studied at Livermorny Academy for a while, and then suddenly and mysteriously disappeared.
No, not just disappeared.
Since then, all records of Butler's sister had been erased. No matter how he searched, it was as if she had never existed in this world.
For the sake of his sister, Butler had transferred to Livermorny Academy.
And the reason he wanted to see the Black Furnace Demon Sword was because its last user had been his sister.
Of course, all records of this had been erased, so no one knew that a few years ago, a female student from Livermorny Academy had wielded the Black Furnace Demon Sword.
The world only knew that the last recognized user of the Black Furnace Demon Sword had appeared more than a decade ago.
But Erend, knowing the truth, saw the regret on Butler's face, thought about it, and said something to him.
"You're a special student, and you have the right to choose a pure star-style weapon once. If you're interested, why not try at the Equipment Bureau?"
The Black Furnace Demon Sword was now Erend's exclusive weapon, and even if he wanted to give it to Butler, he couldn't.
But without the Black Furnace Demon Sword, there were still other pure star-style weapons at Durmstrang.
Butler was quite strong, but due to the seal in his body, he had been unable to show his full power.
If he could obtain a pure star-style weapon, it would be a great help to him.
Since Erend had taken the Black Furnace Demon Sword, guiding Butler toward another pure star-style weapon was a way to compensate.
Just when Erend was thinking this...
"Actually, after this weekend, I'll be going to the Equipment Bureau to choose a pure star-style weapon."
Butler spoke with a relaxed smile.
"The student council president told me that a pure star-style weapon related to the Black Furnace Demon Sword will be transferred to Durmstrang soon."
"It seems to be another magic sword, right?"
"When the time comes, I'll take part in the suitability test
