Vash walks out of the room wearing outfit. Which carried A crisp, black three-piece suit forms the base: a dress shirt, waistcoat, and trousers. Over it is worn a long, flowing black trench coat or duster jacket with a high, structured collar; Armor/Accents: The formal wear is augmented with highly detailed, ornate silver and gold metallic pieces; Shoulders: silver pauldrons with flowing, organic designs that extend down the chest; Arms: Full silver gauntlets covering the forearms and hands; Legs: The lower left leg features a complex, biomechanical or magically infused silver plating that integrates seamlessly with the black trousers and silver-accented boots. Even his mask was made from a hard material to provide protection as well as breathing it was made from a material that worked with how his think in his mind.. He could open and close the mask anytime he thought about it.
He tested it out by thinking about making a opening for his mouth and a hole appeared on the mask, he pulls out a juice can with straw and put the straw into the hole of his mask and sips on it.
He looks at his glove sleeves and the accessories and thinks to himself.
Vash:"this it tight... And what's with all the silver?.... It's like a outfit you get in indie medieval games.... Has... The only thing I liked is the mask, I can shape it anyway I want on my face, completely, half, over eyes or over mouth... Over everything except eyes and mouth. This is the thing I've been wanting for a long, long time... The very thing important for a superhero... I've always wanted a mask like this."
"But it's kinda a strange, I've been feeling a strange kind of boost in my manaand even though this outfit is tight,... It's shaping in every position I take... I think the mask and this out fit is made of same material.... If that's the case,.... Can I shape it according to my will too?... Hmmmm~"
Vash closes his eyes and imagines a hood on the trench coat and it comes right away hanging behind his nape.
"Oh~.. I can"
As he looks forward again he's met with a familiar ghost face which made him make a "kyaa!" noise again like yesterday and choke on his juice..
"Cough! Cough cough!... W.. What the hell is your problem?.. Why do you have to come like a ghost all the time?"
It was sarin, the very first girl he met in this tower world. She looked at him like he's an idiot and says while crossing her arms.
Sarin:"Stop being a baby... And how is it that a person like you.. You who exceeds so much aura while just standing and doing nothing, can squeak like a baby? ... Anyway, I am here to check if the outfit it a fit for you... So, how does it feel to wear that shit?"
Vash looked at her and mumbled to himself looking at his clothes: "shit?... Did she choose this specifically for me?"
To him she looked like a evil minded brat who was choosing weird things for him just to criticize them on him like: "hahaha, wear this, and do that... Haha, you look like a baby, scardy cat,.. Shithead, hahaha."
She sighed and continued.
"Well, whatever.. Just tell me how does it feel?"
Vash calms down and responds.
Vash:"What is that supposed to mean?... What should I feel?"
Sarin sighs like she's really talking to idiot.
Sarin:"Your mana.. The outfit you have on is specifically according to your mana nature and capacity... The ornaments and silver accessories are all made of special material that let's you absorb 20% of the mana of your total mana limit every 60 seconds... To put it in numbers... If your mana is hundred, you your body will absorb 20 mana every 1 minute."
He doesn't say anything and looking back at the silver accessories that are styled on his outfit, finally realizing that they are more than just "style". He looked down for a moment while holding his chin with finger and thumb, probably in thought.
After a few seconds he says.
Vash:"So, it's like a kind of core material that enhances mana?... Like, ... Artifact?... And if it is.... You said it's specifically for my mana type..., how did you find what type of mana do I have?"
Sarin pauses for a moment before saying with a casual tone.
Sarin:"Madam general have her waves to find things out... She can read the mana nature just by a touch."
Vash's eyes widen, he didn't even realize, just yesterday when she touched him... She was reading him mana without him even realizing due to the presence that she had because of the boss fragment.
He quickly composes himself and tries to backtrack the topic to not look suspicious...
Vash:"So,.. Uhm , what kind of artifact is this.. I mean not it's work.. But, it's concept.. How does it absorb the exact type of mana that I have?.. Or, transform the mana from the surrounding to match mine... Also, I'd there is the sense of mana in this place... Why is no one else using it?"
Sarin stays silent and pulls out her pistol, at which he tenses up slightly. But she didn't do anything and just handed him.
Just as the pistol touches his fingertips, he can tell that the pistol is made with the same silver that is on his outfit. It was a model unlike anything he had seen in his world, it was long, tranquled cut and sharp barrel... He studied it for a second the first thought that came to his mind was: "can I change it's for too?"
He stays silent and focuses a bit of mana on the pistol, transforms it into a big shot armed hand gun. Sarin just looks at it like she knows it's a type of shot gun.. But not like the ones she knows about. She stays silent and waits for him to say something.
Vash gave it back to her and still looked slightly in awe. He calms himself down with a deep breath intake and exhale, then says.
"So, I understand that you all are also using it... But... Just what is this?.. It's unlike any silver I know about, and.. Maybe it's from this place, but in my place.. The silver accessories don't work like this... It's like... A complete nano-science... What type of material is it?"
Sarin takes the shot gun and doesn't transform it back to the pistol.... Presumably wanting to study it first, ahe then continues with.
Sarin:"It's called 'silverine asmedeus'... It's a materi–.. No, not a material... It's a alloy... We make it using silver and mana core dropped by the monsters. There are different types of mana cores with each having there own type of ability and quirk, like a black core is good for people with mage type people, like madam general. the blue core is good for the people with high intelligence, like zoe kurazia, She's our scientist who works on these things. Amd white core is specifically for those who have mastery in close rance combat, like our meyuuki zara. And black core is for those who have mastery in both long range and close range together, like me. And finally purple core, it's for those who have control in all fields.... We never found anyone capable of it until... Now."
"When the mana core is infused with silver, the alloy that forms is completely powdered.. It looks like the material went into waste, but no, the powder in itself is the very alloy, that can take any desired shape by only flowing a bit of mana through it."
Vash heard everything but his main focus was on the word "now"... Like... She was indicating it to him... Still, he decided to ask directly.
Vash:" Uhm, just to be clear... By the person suitable for the purple core alloy.... You mean–"
Sarin:"Yes, it's you... Don't be so proud, just because you have a allrounder core doesn't mean you're better than us... Don't get your mind filled with cockiness just because you can do everything... A person who can do everything have more weaknesses than a person who can do just one thing."
He went quiet.. Not knowing how to respond back to her, just gave him a reality check that he didn't even needed... Because in his mind, he was thinking.
Vash:"I already know that,.... Why am getting a lecture about something I've already known because of my school teaching us everything back on earth?.....when did I become such a idiot who need to keep getting lectured on everything?... Even my own parents never lectured me on this thing."
He gulps and just nods back, not knowing how to respond to that. As she continues.
Sarin:"Anyways, I came here not only to check your fit but also tell you about your upcoming mission... We have to go rescue another group people next month... So, learn about your new outfit by then... It'll help you survive here.... And we might also find a way for you to return."
Vash doesn't say anything as he remembers something and decides to ask it.
Vash:"You know, I've been wondering something... There's no man in this place.. And,.. I don't think any of you reproduce either... So,... How is it that there are so many people here?... And everyone looks different... Like.. They aren't from the same place."
Sarin takes deep sigh and pauses for a good few seconds before she starts to explain in a calm and serious tone.
Sarin:"The reason for where do these people come from.... Even we don't know that.... Every month we go out on a rescue tour to all around "roi silcia"... There are always people hiding somewhere around the places... When we inquire them about who they are and where do they come from.. The only thing they all know is.. Their names and relationship to each other... No one seems to remember the very past they had, or the memories about how did they end up hear."
Vash hears it all silently, not saying a word in response... He hears it and just starts to walk forward without saying a single word... Sarin watched him with skepticism and decides to follow him... They walk for a while and keeps continuing to walk.. Sarin was starting to feel uneasy at the way he kept walking silently... This was unlike anything she had seen him so far, the sudden silence and stuff was still understandable... But the way he kept walking without telling where he was going, or even trying to stop her from following behind.
He was have some dangerous thoughts, or something like that is what she was thinking, they kept walking and came to the backside of the camp, under the big walls.. About 50,000 foot big metal and concrete wall... Vash still doesn't say anything stand on the elevator block, sarin comes along and stands on it.. They both reach the top of the wall and vadh walks to the edge of the wall, gazing at the ground filled with monsters and bloodworms and finally breaks the silence, asking a single thing...
Vash:"the walls are extended down to earth?"
Sarin nods and responds..
Sarin:"Yes, it completely covered the underground... Like a cylindrical bowl you can say .. Nothing can pass through it."
Vash went completely silent again and turns towards her... His hands were in his pockets as he gave her a final wink... And freely falls backwards, before sarin could even react,.. He was falling down.. She quickly came to edge and looks down at his falling form with panic and yells for him.
Sarin:"What the hell are you doing, IDIOOOOT!!"
Vash kept falling upside down with relaxed closed eyes and says silently to himself...
Vash:"So this is the game... That you're playing with me, huh?"
"I've had enough of your bullshit now... You trash ass system."
