Parents? lol "No, I paid for it myself." Although, technically, it was somewhat a gift from Cid. Sure, Cid wasn't a parent, but he was the Balamb Garden headmaster and the husband of Edea, who had raised him and all... and the money was part of a biweekly allowance of sorts given to students in order to purchase supplies should they be out and about. Seifer remembered saving like mad to buy the Hyperion upgrade, having hated the original Revolver model (which Squall still used, hahaha).

Well, anyway, he was pleased to see someone showing genuine interest in his most prized possession. At least someone appreciated the sleekness of fine craftsmanship. Someone who didn't even know what the hell a gunblade was, even!

Leonhart was probably just stupid after all.
