Chapter 43: Chapter 43: The days before the disaster (3)
The next day, all the classes were still held as usual but there were no lecturers. All the classes during this time were actually for the students to practice, form groups and prepare thoroughly.
Thanks to that, the lecturers had more time to check the island to guarantee that there were no strong monsters lurking.
All the classes became more disorderly during this time. It was natural, most of them were worried and excited about the upcoming test.
"Then let's go shopping this afternoon!" Adam suggested.
Currently, Adam's group, including Lucifer, Lucian, Hikaru and Chaewon, were discussing with each other. They planned to go shopping for the necessary items to prepare for the test this afternoon.
"Okay." Lucifer and Lucian shrugged.
Unlike Lucifer and Lucian, Hikaru seemed to be very excited about Adam's idea:
"Are you guys planning to buy weapons? I'm planning to buy a sword to kill the monsters on that island."
"Of course!" Adam said excitedly.
'Weapons...'
Lucifer suddenly thought about his two weapons. The dagger he had been using for more than two years was now very dull, and his gun didn't have many bullets left.
Lucifer had thought about buying other weapons, but he wasn't satisfied with any of them. The sword and spear were too difficult for him to use. The great sword and axe were too heavy. And the bow was too difficult for Lucifer to use, he would rather use his gun than the bow.

That afternoon, after school, the group immediately headed to the town not far from Atlas Academy. Just like the school, this town also had a medieval style.
The houses were made of wood and stone and had only 1 to 2 floors. Even though Lucifer was the one who created this design, he was still surprised when he saw this place with his own eyes.
It would have been a normal shopping trip if they weren't surrounded by a bunch of girls. But in fact, Adam was the one surrounded by girls.
Today, he was wearing a rather thin white shirt, which made his beauty even more exposed.
Lucifer, Hikaru, Chaewon, and Lucian stood outside watching Adam being surrounded without saying anything. They were completely speechless. Not knowing how the others were feeling but Lucifer was very jealous.
'I wish it was me...'
In the end, the 4 of them decided to abandon Adam no matter how he pleaded for help.
***
Chaewon, Lucifer, Lucian, and Hikaru went to an ice cream stand and bought 4 different ice creams. Lucifer ate vanilla, Hikaru had blueberry ice cream, Chaewon bought a strawberry one, and Lucian bought chocolate ice cream.
After returning to the place where they left Adam, it seemed like he had somehow managed to escape from the girls.
Adam quickly glared at the four of them, but he quickly returned to normal after Lucifer gave him a watermelon ice cream. Since he was the one who created Adam, Lucifer knew very well what kind of ice cream he liked.
"Then shall we go?" The girl with long black hair and deep black eyes, Chaewon, said while licking her ice cream.
"Okay, let's go."
After that, they went to a weapon shop. The place was quite deserted even though the exams were approaching. Of course, Lucifer knew the reason.
At Atlas Academy, students were allowed to bring any weapon with them to enroll. That's why rich families usually bought the highest quality weapons for their children before they went to Atlas Academy.
Comparing those weapons with the weapons here would be like comparing a lump of iron with a diamond.
Lucifer started walking around the store to find a weapon that would suit him.
Lucifer passed up all the options like swords, magic staffs, spell books, axes, hammers, great swords, bows, spears, etc. Nothing seemed to suit him.
On the other hand, Hikaru and Adam had picked swords as their main weapons, Chaewon chose a magic staff, and Lucian chose a spear.

Suddenly, a weapon caught Lucifer's attention. It looked like both a sword and a dagger. The weapon that caught Lucifer's attention was a short sword.
Lucifer was certain that this was the weapon that would suit him best. It was light and flexible like a dagger and sharp like a sword.
Lucifer bought it immediately without thinking much.
"You bought a short sword?" Adam exclaimed when he saw Lucifer's weapon.
"All yeah, he actually picked this weapon." Hikaru added.
"Well, this short sword is both sharp and flexible, so of course I have to buy it." Lucifer said as he handed the money to the shopkeeper.
***
The next day, while the group was looking at the new weapons, a red-haired girl suddenly stood in front of them. It was Sierra.
"Can I join your group?" Sierra asked with her head bowed.
It was extremely rare for the daughter of a powerful mayor to bow down and ask for permission. This showed that Sierra had completely abandoned her dignity to ask to join Adam's group.
That's why Adam, Hikaru, Chaewon, Lucifer and Lucian had no choice but to accept her.
At first, their group was called a group of poor people. And Lucifer wasn't too surprised that their group was called that.
Lucian was sold by his family, and it was a stroke of luck that he escaped from Hell, so of course he didn't have much money.
Adam and Hikaru were poor, which could be seen from the clothes they wore, which weren't branded like the other students.
Chaewon was born into an ordinary family, but in the eyes of those who were born at the finish line here, she was considered poor.
It wasn't until Sierra, the daughter of a wealthy and powerful person, joined the group that the gossip and bad words about their group gradually subsided.
It could be seen that they did not want to become Sierra's enemies.
Just like that, Adam's group had grown from 5 to 6 people. If it were strangers, Lucifer would definitely not agree, but since he knew how useful Sierra was, he did not say anything about this matter.
