Chapter 34: Trial by Firepower
After the live demonstration of the Thunderspear, Lucen asked Robert if he could have it, and the other party agreed. Now, aside from their training with the arquebus, each one of them needed to learn how to fire the Thunderspear.

As the days of training went by, Lucen’s birthday came and went. Unlike in his past life, where every birthday was celebrated, here only a few key years of one’s life were worth having a celebration. So Lucen became thirteen years old rather quietly.
’Well, the important birthday is my younger brother’s, who will get to hold a sword for the first time, and show how much of a genius he really is... I wonder by then if I would understand what to do with the heart of embers I got.’
Lucen sighed as he once again remembered the heart of the young fire dragon hidden in his room, which even now he had no idea what to do with.
Still, maybe there was some sort of effect just being close to it, since having it made him feel like his rising mana pool was because of it.

A few days after the live demonstration of the Thunderspear, Garett visited the training grounds made for the Thornefang.
"Young master, I have something I have a favor to ask of you."
"What is it, Sir Garett?"
"I understand that you and Sir Robert of the yellow tower have created a weapon that could be used by anyone, but you create a similar weapon specialized for aura users?"
