Chapter 461 : End Of The Tournament

"Fuuu."

Sato let out a breath of air as he stared at the scythe that stood before him.

'I hope it's not a failure.'

Out of the two tries the contestants were given to forge the scythe, Sato had created a failure in the first one. 

In Blacksmithing, failures were divided into two. The first was when the product doesn't rhyme to the shape and structure of the original schematics. This was like when a blacksmith is asked to forge a spear and he forges a sword instead. Both shape, look, design and features don't match up to the required piece.

In the second type of failure, both the shape, look and design of the product matches the criteria. However, certain features, most especially the ability and power scale of the weapon, is below the bar. Such a failure was typically categorised as a weapon or equipment not making the cut-off make to be ranked using the blacksmith standards but could still be used.
