After some convincing from Adrian, highlighting that a stronger weapon would only enhance his natural skill rather than replace it, Karl finally conceded to some of the requests.
He was adamant that he didn't want his spear to feel too uncomfortable or foreign in his hands, nor lose its essence of being a pure melee weapon. So, they settled on a compromise: Adrian would improve the spear's durability and sharpness to an unheard-of degree, and he would integrate the ability for it to work as a mana detector.
That was how far Karl was willing to go, even after Adrian's compelling arguments. Seeing the stubborn loyalty in his friend's eyes, Adrian accepted it for what it was.
"Consider it done," he said with a nod. "I'll deliver it to you tomorrow. I know how much you love it."
Karl muttered a heartfelt "Thank you," feeling genuinely touched that Adrian was willing to push aside his own priorities to work on his weapon. But Adrian cut him off before he could get too sentimental.
