chapter 12

I continued to hammer away at the metal, releasing the impurities and replacing it with magic. This continued on for a whole day. This  was a constant pattern. Hammer, imbued, heat up. The entire time I had myself constantly asking myself what to do to improve the metal.

After doing this a total of 20 times, I was just about exhausted. I then used my magic to replenish my stamina and then continued on to the next step. I flattened the metal into a long sheet of metal about 1 centimeter thick and 90 centimeters long. I then proceeded to cut the metal to being only 2 centimeters wide. When i looked at the two pieces of metal, i realized that i could make two weapons out of this.

I quenched the first piece of metal and then began to sharpen it. i only sharpen one side since that is how you make a katana. I proceeded to polish the Katana and sharpen it even further. After doing this for about 2 more hours i completed my first katana.

I repeated the same thing for the other katana but made it a bit smaller. This was because i didn't have exactly enough materials to make a full sized one. That's ok though since i'll probably use this one anyway.

After i completed making the katanas, i showed them to the blacksmith. As he examined them his eyes opened extremely wide. These weapons were of top quality. Only a professional could make something so well. This weapon is similar to what he mad but it was much more elegant and beautiful deadly.

"I can't believe that a kid like you could make something like this. Kid I'll gladly buy this from you for 60 silver each." he was completely ripping me off which I already knew since I asked my mind what the price was really worth. "No thanks old man. This equipment is mine. I bought the materials and rented the furnace to use. This is rightfully ours."

"Yeah but at least let me have this larger one!"

"Hell no man. I made that for Alice." Alice looked at me surprised and then quietly smiled to herself. She couldn't believe that Liz would do something so nice for someone who just nags her. The blacksmith started to get mad. " What if I buy the small one from you for 70 silver. That's a pretty good deal don't you think kid?"

"Now you are just getting desperate old man. That one is for me. It was extra metal that I bought. Why don't you just shut up and let me take my stuff already?"

"Dammit. At least I know how to make it."

"Also not a true man. I put my mana into these words. You can't make something like this unless you have a lot of mana."

"Argh! Curse you, you little brat! Get the Hell out of my Goddamn shop!" the man shouted. I quickly grabbed our new weapons and ran out of the shop with Alice. The entire time I am laughing like crazy. This was too funny guys! I just got an old geezer mad because I am better than him. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

It was late at night when we left the shop. We decided to return home and quickly went to bed. Today was very tiring so i immediately went to bed without eating anything.

The next day, it was Alice who woke up first. She gently woke me up and we left to look for some sheets for our new weapons. It took a while, but we found a leatherworker who made our sheaths for only 50 copper in total. We then went to the guild and sold off our old daggers for a little bit of money. We then left for our next job to eliminate some sickle snakes.
