In the afternoon, Ormon went back to his house.

"Yo, you are here," said a man named Edwin, who was watching TV and drinking beer.

Ormon nodded. "Is everything ready?"

Edwin laughed and stood up. He patted Ormon's shoulder and said,"It's because of your connection that we were able to get a job on the island and slip the materials. Your contribution will not be forgotten."

He moved to a corner and lifted an improvised barbell.

"As for the reward." Edwin strengthened his grip on the metal and forcefully bent it. Then he showed the bent metal to Ormon. "You can have a strength like this even without magic or aura."

Ormon looked very excited.
