Reynolds, an Earthling, had never been interested in armor. If not for the academy's special request or when he was training, he would usually dress casually. However, facing such an important day like the tournament, this outfit was different. A good set of armor could raise the strength of a fighter to a higher level, and when challenging a monster, it could be used to protect one's life.
Most importantly, wearing a cool armor could highlight one's heroic figure and make one look more handsome!
As for what kind of armor he should buy to suit his own characteristics, Reynolds still had no idea. The other warriors had different characteristics compared to his own, so it would be difficult to ask them anything. Therefore, Reynolds decided to ask for Rudolph's opinion.
However, Reynolds was a little hesitant before he came to the office because he saw that Rudolph was very busy with tomorrow's tournament. He was like an ant on a hot pan. It would not be good to disturb him now. Fortunately, Reynolds did not need to hesitate because Rudolph had already seen him and waved. "Reynolds, you're here. I was just about to look for you."
Reynolds walked into the office and said, "Dean Rudolph, what can I do for you?"
Rudolph said as he sorted out the materials, "The tournament is starting tomorrow. I see that you don't usually wear decent armor. This won't do."
Reynolds thought to himself, What a coincidence, they thought of the same thing. "Dean, I came here today to ask for your advice. What kind of armor is best for me to use in a situation like mine? Soft or hard armor, light or heavy armor. "
Rudolph laughed. "Don't worry, I've already prepared it. No matter how strong you are, you're still a freshman and lack real combat experience. Especially in a duel with a master, you may lose if you're not careful. A good set of armor will at least increase your chances of winning. You're the biggest hope of our academy's freshmen. Of course, I have to take special care of you. "
Reynolds was so happy that he was about to laugh out loud. The armor that the dean had personally prepared for him was definitely something good. It was truly timely help.
As Rudolph spoke, he took out the thing he had mentioned from his spatial ring. It was a set of folded gray armor. There were no fancy patterns on it, and it was not made of shiny metal. It was as inconspicuous as Rudolph himself. Rudolph unfolded the armor and proudly said, "What do you think?"
Reynolds scrutinized it for a long time before giving an honest evaluation. "Apart from the design being a little old-fashioned, it seems to be pretty good." He was a little disappointed. This fellow didn't look much better than the one given out by the academy.
Rudolph almost fainted. "You really don't know what's good for you. This is mobile armor. Normally, only the joints can move freely, and it will more or less affect the user's movements. Mobile armor, on the other hand, was different. In addition to being able to fold freely, every part of it could be stretched and contracted freely. Wearing it was similar to wearing cotton clothes. What was even rarer was that the material was the skin of the Qing Lan Fish from the Storm Strait. The skin of this monster fish had excellent defense and was as soft and slippery as oil. When weapons hit it, it was easy to slide away and deviate from the body. It was one of the best soft armor materials. However, the chances of the Qinglan Fish leaving behind materials after their deaths were shockingly low. Usually, they would turn into spiritual energy. Only one piece of fish skin out of ten thousand fish could be guaranteed. Back then, when I was practicing the Art of Balance and Absolute Storm Kill on the Storm Strait, I didn't know how many Qinglan Fish I had to kill to gather enough materials for a full set of armor. For assassin-type warriors like you who don't have high spiritual energy but can use it at an amazing speed, it's practically tailor-made for you! "
Reynolds scratched his head. "So that's how it is. It sounds good."
Rudolph rolled his eyes. "It doesn't sound good. It's absolutely good! This set of armor is called 'Wave Breaker.' It was my favorite toy in my early years. "
Reynolds said embarrassedly, "Dean, you should keep it. How can I take it away?" Rudolph said, "It doesn't matter. Compared to people at our level, its defensive power is too insignificant. It's almost the same as wearing it. It's better to give it to you. You can contribute more to the academy." Even so, there was still some nostalgia in his eyes. After all, this set of armor had accompanied him since he was young. They had gone through ups and downs together and had witnessed his growth. They had cultivated a certain degree of affection for each other. It was almost like an old friend who had known each other for many years.
Rudolph stroked the armor twice as if he was saying goodbye. He quickly passed it to Reynolds. After all, it was best for the armor to play its role on the battlefield instead of lying dormant in the Space Ring. That would be too much of a waste for it.
Reynolds took it and saw a small piece of blue jade at the heart of the armor. It was very beautiful. The jade was constantly bubbling, like a fish exhaling. This was the only outstanding part of the armor's appearance. Without exception, the other parts were all gray scales. Reynolds pointed at the blue gem. "Dean, what's the use of this thing?"
Rudolph nodded. "It's the crystal core of the Magic Qinglan Fish. The chance of getting it is much lower than the fish skin. I only got one. Although the Qinglan Fish skin is a dead object, it is alive to a certain extent. Its soul is this crystal core. It can establish a summoning contract. Even if it is accidentally lost or stolen, it can be recovered through summoning. In addition, when it is damaged, as long as the degree of damage is not too excessive, it can repair itself. "
After listening to Rudolph list out the advantages of the armor, Reynolds finally realized how precious this set of armor was. He rubbed his hands together and said with difficulty, "Dean, are you really giving it to me?"
Rudolph smiled. "Do you think I will go back on my words? I have already canceled the summoning contract with Polang. After the two of you re-establish a contract, you will be its next master. As long as you don't cancel the contract, no one can take it away from you. Be it the most loyal pet or the most loyal armor! "Rudolph immediately passed the contract to Reynolds and began the master recognition ceremony again.
When Reynolds walked out of the dean's office, he did not feel the weight of the armor increase. His movements did not change. On the contrary, Polang was as light as a feather. Just like Rudolph said, it was like a piece of cloth. It also had excellent flexibility and did not affect the movement of the whole body.
On this day, Reynolds only practiced the daily routine of spiritual circulation. The rest of the time was reserved for rest. At night, he chatted with Eirinn, but it didn't take long before he went to bed. This was the first time Reynolds went to bed so early since he was bored and went to the training field every day.
