“Here take it.” David was holding a smartphone in his hand. “I also got you a number. I don’t think I need to explain how to use it, am I right?”
“Do I really need one?”
“Yes. You do. We don’t know what the limit of our link is. Even if you don’t get much away from me, you can still use it for other things. Like surfing the net, using other apps, or checking documents. Since we share the same memory pool, we can learn 2 different things at the same time. That would speed up the process twofold.”
Luci took the phone and put it in his pocket. “It sounded reasonable when you say it like that. So did you get that sword, huh?” He pointed the sword at David’s belt.
“Oh yeah. It’s a B-rank sword. The seller said that it’s heavier than normal swords and offered a huge discount. Since I have S-class skill, it didn’t mattered to me. I still don’t know how to use it, tho.” David took out his phone. “I will look for locations of nearby blacksmiths... Oh, I found one; they are apparently in this mall.” He showed his phone to Luci.
“Then, let’s go and show this S-rank dagger to them.”
“Yeah. I don’t think that we have enough money to buy fancy accessories anyway. Let’s go.”
...
When the duo arrived on the 1st floor, they saw various blacksmiths around.
“How could we decide on one?” David let out a deep sigh.
“We can check the items they own. I think?”
“Just because they are repairing the high-rank items doesn’t mean they are good at their jobs.”
“Valid point.”

“Help me decide.”
<Please point out the wanted features>
“I dunno. Someone who is experienced? You know... Just find me a creepy, grumpy old man with no passion.”
“What? Why would we look out for..? Oh yeah… The comics, the old grumpy guys are always the answer.” Luci let out a deep sigh.
“I like the way you find out the answers just by yourself.”
<Target found. Distance: 22 meters.>
“Let’s go and check. In the worst-case scenario, he would chase us out with a broom.”
...
When they arrived at the location, they saw an old man who’s working on a sword. David approached him and asked: “Hello, sir. Are you taking commissions?”
The old man lifted his head up and checked the young man standing before him. “I’m not interested in low-rank items.”
Luci took out the dagger and showed him.
The man showed interest in it. He lifted his hand to hold the item. Luci handed out the dagger.
“I will fix it.”
“Thanks, sir.” David replied happily.
“I’m not finished. I will fix it, but I need a lava rock. My current rock is almost faded away. So it can’t reach the heat I need. I can’t fix it until my rock arrives.”
David thought for a second and answered. “Can S-class fire skill replace lava rock?”
“I suppose. It can.”
Luci stepped up first and activated his ability. “I will be the fire source.”
“Then let’s get to work. Follow me to the back.” Old man guided Luci to the back.
I guess I’m not needed. “I will be around Luci. Call me when you're done.” David showed his phone.
Luci nodded his head and followed the old man.
...
David started walking without a destination. Decided to move to the upper floors since he has nothing to do here. He got to the upper first floor and walked around.
His mind was blank. Normally, his head would be full of thoughts. Ever since he’s awakened, all of the voices have been silenced. Instead, he's been hearing a soothing melody back of his mind. It was so familiar, yet too foreign.
The melody was the one that brought him back to his senses. If he hadn’t heard it, he would’ve killed that man. “I guess I’m really losing it.” David mumbled.
Then he felt a static pulse around his wrist. The mark was glowing. “Weird, this didn’t happen before. Wait!” David checked Luci’s status in a hurry, but he was fine. Luci's pulse and other vital stats were normal. “Then what is it?”

“Find me the source.”
