A rough-looking small sword capable of simple extension and retraction.
As their master traveled for years, what Halcyon and Raven learned was largely inherited from Zhang Wanshi.
At the time, Halcyon was young and playful, caring little for his studies, and hastily submitted this sword as his assignment. Raven saw how perfunctory it was and, fearing it would anger their senior brother Zhang Wanshi, wanted to help Halcyon redo it. However, time was short; in his haste, Raven could only clumsily add a flying needle to the sword.
Later, when Zhang Wanshi evaluated the sword, he remarked that for Halcyon and Raven's age, making a child's plaything was actually fitting and quite whimsical. Halcyon and Raven were too ashamed to speak, and from then on, their assignments never again featured the "whimsy" their senior brother spoke of.
Zhang Wanshi secretly regretted his comment for a long time, yet he carefully treasured this "one-of-a-kind" piece.
