Attendee

With everything now tipped onto the floor, the young man who was supposed to be keeping Camellia in check, has long since given up, and has instead tried to take attention from her by also mistreating the equipment... though not to the same effect as her seeing as he still valued his life.

'I'll just melt it to my hand if I have to.'

'Oho~ now you see this folks~? My 'mother' is sooo caring~~'

Jackpot~!

She knew..?

Processing speed accelerated by 'Miss Mona'

...

Creation of blueprint for item 'Black-Flame Wood mask' has been made based on master and Mona's description and concept.

Loading blueprint...

~~

'Wait you could actually do that? I was joking that time...'

Just like when she had received the blueprint for the mask, the info came rushing into Camellia's head, teaching her even the most intricate of measurements in the design. Stumbling slightly, she planted her feet and stopped moving her hands for a second.

'Whoa that really makes ya dizzy...'

Suddenly reaching down with aura that matches a demon's, she scooped up a bunch of material from the floor, scratching the floor with her claw as she went. She had pushed over the bones, wood and whatever bit of left over metal was left to her right side using her feet, and was quickly adding it to the forge, causing flames to roar once again, this time in a dark black and purple-y hue.

She used the heat as well as 'summon water' to lightly warp the bones while cutting them into small stick shapes. She created thread from the wood that instantly shone with a black glow before masterfully weaving it around her arm, in and through the newly melting metal, tying together the newly cut bones with very few cracks or chips having been made.

With small amounts of steam now exiting the blackened furnace, the humans once again became cautious and curious. Black flames aren't natural, then when you take into account how long her hands had been in the forge for, it was unreal! Unrealistic! A non magic using race summoned a barrel full of water, stuck her hands in a burning hot forge and has been shaping molten metal for an hour or more! Then to top it off, the heat from the newly colored embers could be felt from the stands!

'1 lower layer fragment is cracked. Mona, pass me a new one I gave you please.'

Summoning a needle sized piece of bone she had cut and bent to shape, camellia blitzed it with heat so it came back to the perfect temperature, then quickly sewed it back into it's proper place.

She had sent it into Mona's dimension in order to keep the bone and wood from getting too hot, which would cause cracks, and the wood to ignite and be completely devoured.

'Almost!'

Hearing a clicking noise from inside the forge, the fire seemed to completely calm for just a few moments.

Being able to see the young girl's face for the first time for what seemed like an eternity, she could be seen with a smile that covered her whole face. An expression that expressed pure glee with her eyes twinkling as she furrowed her brows and rolled her shoulders.

"It's time."

Suddenly pulling her left arm back from the forge, a large cloud of steam erupted, almost completely hiding her, leaving but a silhouette which showed a long tail-like blade which follow the movements of her arm, lightly cutting through the mist as is elegantly swung into the barrel of water she had summoned earlier.

'It should be oil, but this'll do!"

*KSSHHHHHH*

Creating a smoke cloud so big it almost completely halted the other contestants' work, Zeph had barely even noticed her as he dunks his own work of art into a bin of water he had poured for himself before even starting to forge his weapon.

"Wh- What was that just now?! A dungeon-grade weapon?!"

Even Maki stood too shocked to answer Lord Eric's question, simply holding her hand to cover her mouth as she had unknowingly acknowledged the girl yet again.

"S- Savage! Answer me! What was that mysterious weapon she was swinging around just then! In the shadow!"

As his face grew crazed with greed and curiosity, he began pointing towards anything and anyone he was speaking to. Yet after seeing Maki was in confusion as well, he seemed to regain his bearings, asking her once again while properly keeping his eyes on the event this time.

"Ah.. My lord..."

Hearing his momentary concern, she quickly attempted to regain her poker face only to be unable to hold back the grin that grew slyly across her cheeks.

"I'm not quite sure~"

With the astounding little girl who had been competing, there was a ruckus being stirred up in the arena, causing many humans to get lost in her performance.

"Just amazing! She just summoned water right?! I wish to buy her right now! Go tell Lord Eric, I'll put up however much for her! Go you servant!"

"Yes my lady."

As a royal looking woman loudly raised her arms in a rush, she loudly ordered a human who seemed to be a guard to leave. Who hurriedly listened after giving a glare to the two Elves that stood on guard inside her booth, then one of concern to the other human who stood next to the lady herself.

After nodding to each other, one Elf followed the servant, as the other walked towards the tipsy woman and sneakily refilled her glass with more wine, alerting the guard.

"Hey Savage! Watch how much you give to the lady without aski-"

"Oh shut it you servant! The savages might be useless, but at least they know to fill a glass!"

Loudly raising her half filled glass, she rudely opened her mouth and drank all that was left before pointing it to the elf and loudly demanding he filled it again.

--

All while the elf who had followed the guard into the hallway could now be seen dragging the servants foot around the corner, leaving a light, yet thick streak of blood behind on the floor which then merged with many other red trails that had all come from different directions into the dark corridor, only to be swept up by a whistling elf, who pretended to notice nothing. The guards were never to be seen again.

All while the tournament continued, the next step of their plan had already long since begun. They couldn't waste even a single moment!

While Camellia stole the entire audience's attention, Maki would keep the main royal, Lord Eric at bay. Trying her best to keep him where he should be at all times, and signal if that changed. Zeph was also part of the competition, if Camellia failed at making her usually slow production style interesting enough, he himself would have to create the distraction. The plan wouldn't run as smoothly this way, but they had no choice. With him also in the arena, if there happened to be any attacks aimed towards Camellia, he would be practically right next to her, ready to defend.

Then of course, there was Yoru, the scary tall white haired man who could almost hold his own against Zeph. His job was to clear out any and all extra men possible from the Human's army without raising any suspicion.

All while Maki's men focused on getting the human royals and generals as drunk as possible, and bringing the suspecting guards to Yoru, making them the 'extra men' to get rid of.

Leaving the room where the bodies had been dragged into, the tall and silent white haired Yoru could be seen pulling his mask over his nose.

"What are you doing around here Savage? What's your post and Royal attendant?"

Each 'Savage' soldier was designated to a royal, of which they had to take care of and fetch anything they asked for. To keep track of this, they were given an insignia which showed the royal they were to attend, which was based on their strength.

Raising his arm, the silent man showed his badge to the soldier, who upon seeing it was shocked and began to sweat slightly before stuttering.

"A- uh! R- right this way! I shall guide you to your attendee!"

Unlike most regular stories, the country of Mendall, or the capital human city of Holenn specifically, based its hierarchy on the strength, and intelligence of the person. Meaning the strongest Royal who was currently in the city, one who's supposed to keep the strongest in the city in check, including Zeph, Maki and Yoru during their visit...

*Knock knock*

"Your lordship sir! I have brought your other attendant for the stay!"

As the door opened in front of the white haired man, the whole arena seemed to open up in front of his eyes as two people could be seen standing over the balcony.

"Ah finally! You savages have no sense of time." Said the man without turning around, completely invested in the finale of the forging contest which laid before his eyes..

Getting down to one knee, Yoru quietly and calmly thanked the man while lowering his head.

"Yes, I'm sorry for being late. Thank you for having me Lord Eric."
