Ame No Sakahoko, the Upturned Sky spear, is a Hoko used by the twin j.a.panese G.o.ds Izanagi and Izanami to calm the chaos and create the land. It was later given to the G.o.d
Ninigi-No-Mikoto, who was sent to the land to become its ruler.
Ninigi No Mikoto, later stuck it on mount Takachiho, hiding it so that no one could use its powers for their own purposes.
It was first a relic of j.a.panese Mythology, which was broken In half due to the eruption of Mount Takachiho in 1913, the broken half was given as a gift to the Shimazu Samurai Clan.
The two pieces of The Ame no Sakahoko were transformed into incomplete artifacts by the residual mana in the atmosphere, like many ancient relics of the world.
It is said that the half of Ame no Sakahoko stuck on mount Takachiho selected a young Hiroto Mitsuki as its second master, the first being Sakamoto Ry??ma when he first pulled it after trying to impress his wife during their honeymoon.
Hiroto Mitsuki, later completed the legendary Spear by combining both halves and making it his signature weapon.
It was a spear with the power to repel chaos and unite the land, it was the spear of Hope to the j.a.panese People, it was the spear of the land of the rising sun, it...was j.a.pan's Greatest Hero's beloved weapon.
It was a blade, that had cut down multiple demons, and had been the weapon that delivered Death to the Elder Balrog, Azlan, the general of the Demonic Armies, a rank SSS being.
After Hiroto Mitsuki's death, it had remained embedded in the skull of the Elder Balrog, and no one could take it out, not even to place it on Its wielders' grave.
Many Awakened had tried, but the weapon would not follow them, it would not accept them as their master.
The most promising geniuses of j.a.pan tried but failed.
Kurosaki Ren was the only one who hadn't tried to wield it, afraid that it would reject him when all of Hero Academies'first rankers a
It listened to no one...but now...after more than a decade.
It had reacted.
It shone a golden light, the skull of Azlan broke and it alone now stood in the sky, shining its light.
It's the perfect spearhead, its pristine body, the aura it emitted.
Some people even prostrated before it, and the spear, which stood still in the sky, began to move, the people making way for it.
It made its way towards the Tour group.
Slowly, it made its way toward the group, and Kurosaki Ren, who was in front of the group...was having the wildest thoughts in his mind.
'...is it coming towards me?'
He had always avoided this area because the Skull of the Balrog...was embarra.s.singly something that had given him trauma since he was young.
And he also didn't want to try to hold the spear, many had failed, so he didn't think he was worthy and had instead determined himself to master his weapon, the twin Thunder wolf Blade, a weapon that had been given to him by his father, it was another Ego weapon, but unfortunately, it didn't choose him as its master, and Kurosaki Ren tried desperately for it to gain its obedience.
Its counterpart was in the Hero Academy museum, and even that didn't accept him.
So he thought...was I destined for the spear this entire time?
The thought excited him, maybe it was the spear, or maybe he was just following the wrong path...
Maybe this was his destiny.
He held out his hand towards the slowly approaching spear...still slightly hesitant.
What if I make a fool of myself?
He wanted to retract his hand, afraid that it may embarra.s.s him.
Oblivious he was, that this was the exact reason his own blade, the Twin Thunder wolf Blade, refused to choose him as its master.
He held out his hand, and... in front of him, the spear closed in.
And what happened next was the very thing he dreaded, for it to pa.s.s by him.
And it did just that.
In front of Hundreds of people, chanting his name, knowing his ident.i.ty as the first ranker of Hero Academy.
They stopped changing his name and watched the spear move past him further into the group.
And Ren just stood still, under the gaze of hundreds of people.
The spear moved inside the group, p by multiple students...and arrived in front of Sabrina Wellington.
It kept moving, and the People thought maybe she was the one, maybe that beautiful girl was the one to wield the Ame No Sakahoko until she quietly moved out of the way, and spear moved and greeted the one behind it, the one that would truly wield it.
A somewhat Handsome young man with snow-white hair, Pupils as beautiful as Bright Blue Diamonds, and the one who was the first ranker of Shield.
Who, after a few seconds, grasped its handle and then the people knew.
Ah, that is the next wielder of the Spear of Hope, A foreigner.
I stared at the spear which floated in the air in front of me, and a message prompt appeared in front of me.
[Ame No Sakahoto, the Spear of Hope, The Upturned Sky Spear, Deems you fit to be its next master and its savior.
Do you accept?
Yes/No]
So you were the cause of the energy I felt way back then and now.
How funny, it was an Ego weapon aura, that was calling out to me.
Why would I reject a weapon that Slayed an SSS rank demon, a d.a.m.n duke-ranked demon?
I read the the system prompt, and although I was a bit taken aback by the Savior part in its prompt.
I still accepted it regardless.
I held out my hand and then called out.
"Yes."
And grabbed the handle of Ame No Sakahoko, the spear previously used by the Sword Saints' dear brother in Arms, the Spear Saint, Hiroto Mitsuki.
[Congratulations, you have accepted Ame No Sakahoko, the Spear of Hope and The Spear of the land of the rising sun.
You have now become its master.

At the same time.
Elijah wandered through the museum of Hero Academy, his eyes were closed, and he walked in a direction different from everyone else.
While most students stayed in groups, even though they were given free roam around the museum, he was the only one along with Serena who was just happy being beside him.
He had felt it, when he entered the museum, that something was calling out to him, an energy beckoning him to come.
As he was going towards it, he was unaware that another student of Shield was also making his way toward an energy that called him separately.
A student no expected was also being called by another weapon.
And this student was...
