The Deal (2)

Taki once again frowns "How?"

"Ha... I already gave you a big tip yet you want more, you are too greedy"

"..." Taki takes a moment to think

"What do you want?"

"Well, firstly freedom, of course, then a pledge of sorts that this information won't be given to anyone else and that I won't be forced to do anything without proper compensation, and also the ability to join the Magic Smithing Academy"

Taki once again takes a moment to think "Freedom and the pledge are easy but for the Academy at best we can give you a chance to join since they are Independent, there is no back door"

"Also its called The United Crafts Academy"

"Crafts? I guess metal forging isn't the only thing then?"

"Mhm, they have Forging, Alchemy, Tailoring, and Woodworking. Ohh just so you know the next recruitment is in 3 months, We are going to set off a month before so we make it in time with some extra"

"That's good to hear, the pledge?"

"For that, we have a magic contract" Taki gets up and walks up to a drawer and takes out a paper and a pen. She starts writing on it and as soon as she finishes it she hands it to Sora "Just sign here"

The contract is written about how Taki's family won't force him to do anything and will bring him to the Academy to have Sora attempt to join it and how they aren't responsible for failure only the trip in exchange for information.

Sora checks it to see if there is any scam to it after he makes sure it's safe he writes down his name. He wasn't sure if he should use Sora or Liam since Taki mentioned its a magic contract. But Sora seemed fine since the contract burned up in blue flames and judging from Taki's expression that was what's supposed to happen.

"Now then how did you make this?"

"I have a special skill that allows me to infuse, strengthen and change objects"

"Oh? Mind showing me?"

"That's going to cost you," Sora says with a silly grin.

"Haa... What is it now??"

"Basic armor, a spear a sword and stuff like rings headbands and jewelry. Also, the armor should be quite light."

"... That's fine now show me" Taki says with an annoyed expression

"Haa Haa It's good working with you" Sora puts on a merchants smile as he touches the table with his left hand as a screen appears in front of him.

Obj: Wudein Table

Wei: 53.5kg

Har: 21/21

As he chants 'Upgrade' in his mind, a white fog leaves his body forming a pattern above his left hand, as it finishes forming it creates a dim glow and the pattern enters the table as if it's infusing itself with the table.

Mp: 29/34

Obj: Wudein Table+1

Wei: 53.5kg

Har: 23.1/23.1

"Well is that proof enough?"

"What can the table do now?"

"... Nothing... the first four only sharpen and strengthen the item"

"Oh can you make it do something?"

"sure..."

a few seconds after~

SpA: Warmth*

Warmth- The object is filled with fire mana it will keep the food placed on it warm, and warm its surroundings during cold times.

"Congrats you have a warm table it's going to warm your heart up"

"..." Taki ignores Sora's statement as she asks "Is that it?"

"It's a table what do you expect"

"I don't know maybe make it levitate or something?"

"No, I want my toys now"

"Haa... Fine, Rian!" Taki calls in an older Buttler. He was tall and had a well-groomed beard and hair gray in color. "Go bring some basic light armor a sword, spear and some jewelry"

"Yes miss" He quickly bows and leaves the room.

"Very well now if you don't mind I'll be leaving for the dungeon as soon as my toys come."

"Why are you going to the dungeon?"

"What am I not allowed to?"

"... Of course, you can. But why are you going?"

"To get stronger of course"

"..." "Fine..."
