Master of metal magic

The preparations are complete and my order is ready.

Name : Ice dragon breastplate

Description:

Made from the pure essence of a newly formed ice dragon. These lustrous scales exudes cold energy .

These scales provide excellent defense against archers and swordsman .

It has a light weight and furthermore it is somewhat flexible .

Rank : S

Paul :

Due to the nature of the scales it was a pain in the ass to make . I hope you like it .

Jay :

These are brilliant .

Paul :

The blades have been sharpened and ready to use . I thought there would be some kind of rust . But no and I mean for a long time .

The spear I recommend to not use it is nearing it's end .

Did you recently stab something really hard with it .

Jay :

A ice dragon .

Paul : (unfazed)

Un Hmm that's why it's in this poor condition. Here's the rest of the equipment . I recommend to Just buy new ones from our shop .

Here I have 2 pairs of bracelet.

This should hold this elemental stones quite well and allow you to use their powers .

I recommend to use one at a time or they can explode .

One for you and other for your sidekick .

Where is he I don't see him .

Meanwhile McElroy...

McElroy: ,(Bargaining)

This accessory cant you make it more cheaper .

Owner :

Sir it is our most priceless possession we can't give it away for a loss .

McElroy :

I am a regular now so can't you. be just a bit leniant .

Owner :

Thank your for coming here regularly but we can't sell it that cheap .

Jay :

I think that's what's happening.

Due to the guild there is an increasing need for accessories with different effects .

Paul :

I heard there is an master who teaches metal magic is passing through the town . You must meet him he an incredible teacher .

Jay :

Ah how much should I pay for the cuff .

Paul :

Just take them , I'll feel bad if I extract more money than needed .

Jay : Thanks man .

Everything is done and now left is final preparation and then we leave . They told that they will let us know when to leave .

I toss everything in the inventory.

Oh the misery when I didn't had the inventory.

I was strolling down the street . Happily and cheerily . Until I reached my hold .

I opened the door and was greeted by hmmm . An old chinese man ?

Butler :

Welcome back Sir , we have a guest .

? ,:

So you're the one who gave him a place to stay when he had none . He used to stay with us until the skeleton tore us apart and I have been searching for him ever since .

(Bows) Thank you .

Jay .:

Please don't bow I am younger than you . I should give proper respect .

you're my elder .

? :

I should introduce myself.

My name is Metan . I'm a practicioner of metal magic hailing from the mountains in the north .

Jay :

My name is Jay Garrick . Im work at the guild and take on quest . Like yourself I also practice metal magic and fire magic alongside it .

Metan :

Hoho such an elemental affinity wonderful . Your fire magic is an excellent medium to temper and refine your metal .

Jay :

Thank you for such praise .

Metan:

As a practicioner and instructor of metal arts I would like to see your metal magic as well .

Jay :

It would be an honor to learn from you .

Suddenly transporting to a field of grass outside Elba .

We both stood 4.meters apart from each other . With wind rustling and the sound of grass wavering in the wind .

Metan :

I will give you the chance of first attack .

Jay :

Thank you for your guidance .

I began synthesizing needles and sent them towards the elder .

The elder had a.metal fan and shook the needles one by one .

Then the master sent a spike towards me . I just slid besides when I was met with another spike . Coming slant. from. above

I counterated by changing its trajectory with my hands . And lead it. into the ground .

Metan :

Your needles need more mass and speed with this much you'll never be able to pierce even a wild boar .

I sent a spike attack from the ground . Spikes started appearing from the ground . And as the elder turned he was met with a spike directly below him .

But with his palm he broke the spike from the ground .

Metan ,:

Faster .

I sent two wave of spikees this time towards the elder . The elder ounteracted with his own spikefield . And it neutralized mine .

Metan : Make your attacks more unpredictable.

Don't stop countinue .

If the direct attack doesn't cut it . Then I need to us other method .

Metan was standing in one place in anticipation of my next attack. As chain rose from the ground and bound Metan tightly .

But it was far from. over .

As from behind I summoned an steel battering ram and threw it at the maximum speed I could .

But Metan counterated with a thick metal wall absorbing the blow .

From the ground. behind me another battering ram . Rammed me and tossed me into air . So much that I could see. behind the wall .

Metan was just standing and he summoned multiple knives and launched them at. me .

I tried to change their tragectory using needkes but the knives simply passed through the needle barrage and scratched me . And I fell to the ground .

Metan stood before me unwavered . Like a steel wall . Adamant and proud .

Metan : Again .

I stood up and took a deep breath.

And threw chain blades at him .

Metan just deflected them and they fell to the ground but I made the chains bound to his legs and pulled him down to earth .

From above a spike fell with a high velocity . But he blocked it with a thick sheild and the spike pierced halfway through .

He threw both the shield and spike on the side . And broke the chains binding his feet . As he stood up he was met with a launch pad launching him up in the air .

Jay synthesized sharp. metal disc and threw them at high velocity and torque . And they became spinning saws of death .

To which the airborne master replied with his own metal disc . The both with high velocity shredded each other into pieces .

While Metan safely retreated to the ground .

Metan :

Your quick thinking is impressive.

You. should throw these blades one directly towards the opponent and one from behind . It gives them less space to work .

Jay : Yes sir I got it .

Metan :

I hereby conclude this sparring session .

Jay : Thank you for your teachings . Master Metan .

And the sparring session was concluded .

Metan :

You need more work on your metal magic . Remember metal is not fluid like other elements.

It resembles the strong , proud , adamant and the fearless .

Such a gift is hard to master but can be overcome with diligence .

The strongest metal bender

The Man of Steel . Went with the exact rigorous process.

McElroy : Hey I'm back .

McElroy saw Jay listening to the teachings of an old guy . Diligently

McElroy:

Who's this .

Metan :

Greetings My name is Metan I am a practitioner of metal magic .

Jay :

Are you done with preparation on your end .

McElroy :

I bought accessories which will be useful to us . I think .

And they have responded . We are leaving day after tomorrow. To Frontera estate.

Jay :

Okay.

Metan :

Frontera estate you mean , you are going to fight the demons .

Jay :

No we are tasked with escorting a caravan to the estate .

Metan :

Things are about to go very sour there . I recommend to deny the request .

Jay :

I can't we have already accepted the request.

Metan :

You're going to be killed with your skill at metal magic .

You're leaving day after tomorrow correct, then we must train .

I cannot see such an excellent pupil like you get killed on that bloody battlefield .

Jay :

Is the situation there that bad .

Metan :

Things are grave indeed . Come now we must not waste any time .
