Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

I didn't listen to any of that shameless system's words as I stood in the middle of that primitive mansion of mine all alone and took out my spear.

"My master's first lesson was to activate my power using fingertips," I muttered while recalling the seemingly distant memories of my dear master.

He was so kind to me, and supported me in any way possible. He and Lady Nada were like a family to me, and I felt bitter the more I recalled about them.

"I should focus," I wiped away the faint tears that were starting to gather in my eyes before I glanced at my spear. "I should be able to mimic what I did before, right?" I tried to encourage myself while the system kept speaking his trash without me listening to a single word he said.

"Clang!"

The first attempt ended up with absolute failure as the spear fell off my fingers and rang over the ground.

"Ding Dong! Hahaha, you should stop wasting your time sweet princess," my system laughed but I felt some anxiety in his tone.

"Stop distracting me then," I chuckled, "I'm pretty much sure of my success here."

I grabbed my spear and again threw it in the air while trying to catch the old forgotten feeling I once had.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

Yet it kept bouncing off my fingertips and fell over the ground endless times. Despite that and the constant mocking remarks of my system I never stopped trying for one second.

Each attempt had a faint resonance inside my soul, so deep and weak that it needed countless times for it to resurface once again.

And finally I started to recall what it was like and had a fair understanding of what I should do.

"Ding Dong! You'll never succeed!" and with that feeling returning back to me, the distasteful system returned to his old self once more.

"Screw you," I happily shouted, "'you are just full of poolsh*t!"

I ditched all the insults he threw as usual in front of my face while I threw my spear and this time… it stood steadily over the tips of my fingers.

"At last," I took a deep breath before turning towards the wall of this old and wrecked building that was supposed to be my greatest place here. "Screw you as well," I shouted as I released all my anger in this single attack.

The spear roared in the next moment and it crossed the distance between me and the wall in a fraction of second. It crushed a good deal of the wall before continuing to howl towards the outside.

"Snap!" and the next moment I called it back and like an obedient kid he hovered again over my fingertips, calmly waiting for his next target.

"Welcome back my old friend," I couldn't help but grin, "life felt so lonely without you on my side."

"My lady," yet this sudden shout came from the outside before Jack came running fast through the door, "what happened?" he asked while moving his head between me and that hole in the wall.

"I was just training," I smiled before adding, "tell me, have those two went out?"

"They did an hour ago," he said before adding, "we copied the map you drew and now more maps are being created as we speak."

I nodded in content before adding, "start studying them then. I want to know every single place with ores and resources for us to use," I paused before adding, "also try to select places that can be used to fortify and defend our city without big losses."

"I'll start working on that," he nodded before adding, "we have a breakthrough regarding the oil issue."

"More good news," I couldn't help but laugh, "tell me more then."

"We found some books regarding making drilling gears to help us excavate the oil," he said, "but this would take roughly a couple of days before reading through all of them."

"Only one is enough for now," I said, as wasting more days without any purpose wasn't a good thing, "just select the more detailed book and establish a study group to start distributing tasks."

"I will," he nodded, "and until we read through it I'll personally supervise over building many blacksmith places where they can start working the moment we have a blueprint."

"My guts tell me you'll find more than one," I smiled before pointing to the door, "go, I'm going to train so don't bother with me."

"Good luck," he said before leaving and I laughed while training over my spear.

Just feeling that amazing power made my entire body excited. I was fearless before, unstoppable with all my artifacts. Thinking back to this made me doubt what I learnt about the useless artifacts of mine.

"It's a waste I don't have any artifact but my spear," I sighed before thinking about all the items I got from the Golam's city. "Could there be any artifact hidden somewhere?"

"Ding Dong! No, there isn't!"

And his answer just confirmed my doubts and made me chuckle before laughing out loud. "You… are sometimes more useful than you ever think," I said before starting to examine my large inventory.

My inventory was like a bottomless abyss, nothing I threw there and wouldn't be stored. I had a very large amount of gears in there, so much that I doubted I could go through all of them before the week would end.

And I had no time to waste here. I had to go and save more giants as well.

"I have to find a way to filter all of these," I glanced at the dazzling number of gears before I tried to recall the shape of my lost artifacts.

After some time I didn't get what I wanted. My mind stood helplessly over the seemingly endless number of gears not knowing what to do.

"Should I ask them?" I couldn't help but summon my two giants and recall them off the ongoing expeditions out there.
