I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated

Editor Makoto

Hi guys! For master’s status I’ll upload it as a separate chapter (the next chapter is only master’s status) if I post it in this chapter I’m afraid itwit be way too long and you’ll get sore thumb from scrolling way too much…. Anyway enjoy!

『――――』

I suddenly realized I couldn’t hear anything.

Deafening silence…

It took me a few seconds to realize that the scream I was raising was gone.

『Is it over?』

Since then–How long has it been since the refurbishment began? The severe pain that irritated my whole body has completely subsided and disappeared.

『Is it over?』

I asked myself again. There was no longer any pain. Neither was there a feeling of fatigue nor discomfort. Instead, I felt something like a refreshing feeling.

However, only the sense of time I had was strangely obscure.

I wonder how long I was in pain. From what can I could see through the window, it’s dark outside. I guess it’s not dawn yet. Is it a few hours since then?

『No, I think it’s been a day or a night.』

Honestly, my memory was fuzzy, but that’s just how tough it was.

If you told me that only been a few minutes had passed, I wouldn’t believe it, since it felt like a long time had passed.

『Fran is—』

There she is. She was sleeping while breathing soundly under the workbench I have been resting upon. I must have worried her a lot. Her sleeping face looked as if in anguish.

She had large dark circles under her eyes, and her hair was shaggy as if she hasn’t had a bath in days. I remember her looking pretty distraught too, when I was screaming in agony.

Listening to the cute breaths resounding in my ears while she slept, I’m tempted to just let her sleep, but it’s still better to reassure her that I was now awake.

I stroked Fran’s head using telekinesis. I was a little anxious, but it went smoothly with no pain or lag. It actually feels smoother than before, but does it just feel that way because I feel refreshed?

『Fran. Fran.』

No problem with telepathic communication. It looks like the refurbishment went well. I lightly shook Fran as I called out to her.

『Fran, are you awake?』

“Munyu…”

As I shook her further, Fran’s eyes opened thinly. And when she saw me floating, her eyes widen.

“Master…!”

Fran stood up, vigorously and hugged me. Her hug was enough to cover me. I quickly dulled the blade with a form-transformation, and I activated it with no problem here either. Usually, I’d be unconscious already, but right now, I’m not sure if I can use it or not, so I cringed for a second.

“Master, this isn’t a dream…?”

『Yes. This is me, you know?』

“Hmm”

Oi Oi, this is intense. But as it is, Fran hugged me tighter that her chest ended up touching me as she started shaking her shoulders.

“……I am relieved……”

『It’s look like I have made you all worried.』

“….Mhm. Worried.”

『Ah, I see, I see. I’m sorry』

“Hmm…”

Fran won’t let go of me as large drops of tears keep falling off. I stroked her head and back gently, trying to calm her down.

After a while, it seems she’s finally settled down. Fran’s hold on me loosened. But instead, she leaned back, leaning her whole weight against me.

『What’s going on? You are such a spoiled kid.』

“……Hmm”

『Fran?』

“Su-Su—”

Eh? She fell asleep again… I know she was a good sleeper, but sleeping in this situation?

I was once again reminded of Fran’s incredible pace…

『Fran? Hey, Fran!』

“Let her sleep.”

As I was about to wake up Fran again, Alistair came down from the second floor. Like Fran, she had shaggy hair and dark circles under her eyes.

“How are you doing?”

『I’m in great shape. Telepathic communication and telekinesis have not been a problem so far.』

“I see, that was good… *Yawn*.”

『Alistair looked sleepy too.』

Not as much as Fran, but she blinks her eyes heavily and looked like she’s about to fall asleep.

“Well, even with my body, staying up all night for five days is unbearable.”

『Huh? What did you just say? Five days?』

“Oh, you don’t know huh? I see. Today is exactly the fifth night since we began our refurbishment ritual. I cannot sleep in case of an emergency.”

『Really……. Has it been that long? I thought it’s still the night of that day』

“Well, it can’t be helped if you can’t tell the time since you were in that state.”

『Then….. Fran also didn’t sleep…』

“She hasn’t slept a wink in five days, and she has been standing beside you all this time. Well, she ran out of steam and fell asleep about three hours ago.”

I see, so that’s how it is. Fran, who is usually easy to fall asleep, didn’t sleep for five days? Well, seeing her like this, It seems like she won’t wake up for a while.

I gently laid her body on the floor as I stroked Fran’s head, who still wouldn’t let go of the hand she put around my sword blade. Of course, Fran was still hugging me. I have given her so much to worry about, I should at least be able to let her cuddle me like this.

Unlike the anguished expression on her face earlier, Fran now slept with a look of relief on her face. She was distraught before huh.

Sweet dreams Fran.

『So, is this the end of the refurbishment?』

“Well”

『We- Well……?』

“This is the first time I’ve ever done something like this. I’d rather like to hear more about it. Are you in pain now?”

Well, that’s true.

『I’m fine. As I said before, I feel refreshed.』

“Oh, I’m jealous. I can’t wait to get into bed, so I could feel refreshed like you.”

『Ah…. Somehow I feel bad, I’m sorry』

“Haha, I’m just joking. Usually, when I’m making a divine sword I go without sleep for more than 10 days. It’s not as bad as that, yet.”

Wow, I knew it would be hard to make a divine sword, but 10 days of sleepless nights? Is that what physical mastery maximal skills were for?

“From what I’ve seen on the outside, you haven’t changed much.”

『Eh? Is that so?』

I had the sensation of my body being rebuilt, and I thought my appearance might have changed on its own…… But apparently, according to Alistair, nothing changed.

『I have been refurbished, haven’t I?』

“That’s what I want to know too. How about your skills? Did the consolidation go well? I would like to know if there are any changes in performance.”

『I haven’t had a look at it yet.』

It’s a little scary, but now I can’t help but look.I appraised myself, pushing down a strange mixture of fear and anxiety, hope and expectation.

『Eh?』

I was so stupid that I was amazed at myself. No matter how much I thought about it, I do remember my status.

『How can it change like this……?』

Alistair said that my appearance has not changed, but in truth, my classification has changed. It evolved from an Intelligence Weapon to an Intelligence Unique Weapon. Unique….. I don’t know if that meant as the odd one out or the one and only. I’m torn. But maybe it was just the effect of the change in class, but my abilities were also increased.

My attack power has increased by 300, with magic power and endurance value increasing by about 3000 each, and my magic conduction rate rose by two levels from S- to S+.

Next was the self-evolution system… On the contrary, it was quite devastating. It had 0 magic stone value and 0 self-evolution points. But 0 magic stone value was expected. It seemed that I continuously used the potential release to the limit during the escape. There was only one self-evolution point left, so can’t it?

But what really frightened me was the list of skills ahead. Some skills disappeared, but there were some small increases in several skills like telekinesis, attack power, possessed magic power, and an increase in memory. However, the fact that the abilities increased even without it may mean that they were absorbed into the status side and which may mean that the abilities have been enhanced without the skills.

The mad demonization that I just got from the skill taker was also gone. This is good, and it disappeared in a surprisingly convenient way.

Even more surprisingly, the memory section has been significantly reduced. What does this mean? No, it’s probably not surprising, considering the processing power. Just equipping a lot of unused skills will put pressure on my processing power anyways.

Next, I’ll check my memory skills. I looked at the list with trepidation, but it didn’t look like any of the skills were missing.

『It was good… hm?』

But my relief was short-lived. I looked at the skills on display and ended up raising my voice again. The number has dropped significantly. Not only that, but there was a huge amount of skills with names I hadn’t seen before.

『Eh?』
