Chapter 9

I continue looking at the claws as we went through the door back into the well lit room.

Holy fuck, Marika! I'm glad I gave those weapons to you! It's like flowers growing on fucking fertilizer, man!

I've never seen anything like them.... Yet, wearing them, it's like something within me awakens, and guides my hands...

Etirn suddenly interrupts, Hello, look at that!

Huh?

Take a close look at the claw, right by your index finger. I look, and see a small button on the side, just in reach of my thumb. Press that button. I press it, and with a Shhhhk, the blades suddenly slide into the guard...

What in the world?

Your claws are designed as retractable weapons...

Wynell decides to join the conversation. I didn't even know about that, Etirn.

There's no way this is technology designed in the last millenium. Hell, we didn't even know about static discharge in the 2200s!

I already told you all I know about it.

Etirn turns back to me. Well, I need to contemplate over how it works. I already sent images to my professor for his thoughts, but I know he's pretty busy today. Instructor Wynell's gonna be busy doing your paperwork, so I guess you have some free time before we get called in for the Principal's decision.

I feel like heading to the dorm and grabbing a book while I wait, but I suddenly remember what Akkosua said this morning. Thinking on how I can weasel out, I have a stroke of genius. Actually, I have an idea, Etirn. You mind going to the bar with me? It's a risky proposition, but the concept of clouding my mind with drink feels somewhat scary...

Well, that's a bit more forward than what I had in mind, but okay...
