After I was done being amazed with the jade arsenal, my grandfather told me I was the guardian of these precious weapons and that I must respect them and learn the weapons’ names and functions or else they will just be useless.

My grandfather also told me that not only do they have names, they also each have their own history. For example, the katana was forged by a ninja with a special version of jade: titanium jade, and it also helped the great ninja win almost 192 fights! And the bazooka was actually created by my dad because of his new weapon: the bazooka V.5 X9, which was used by the military!

But I still had some questions in my head: 1. How did I become guardian again? 2. Why do I have the power to wield such lethal weapons? A second after I thought about these questions, my grandfather answered them. You became guardian because the role is passed down by generations and you have the power because you are the guardian. I know magic is real now because how did he read my thoughts?

My grandfather said that I would have to endure training of intellect, magic, speed, power and physical strength to get stronger and guard the artifacts more easily. But now I only had one thought in mind: At least the intellect training won’t be nearly as hard as the others.
