Forge, forge, forge!
"Listen up Jin, you're gonna work with me until you have enough money to buy that sword"
Jang-gan points at the sword that Babo handpicked for me.
"And your old man specifically told me to make you work the hammer job."
Jang-gan hands me his hammer.
"Here."
I grabbed the hammer with my two hands and felt like my wrist was splitting in half.
I put the hammer down and sighed heavily.
"That old man is gonna kill me...he even asked for the heaviest hammer here."
Jin thought to himself.
"If I throw a tantrum like a baby will he ease up a bit? Probably, my parents do that all the time when I cry."
Jin thought back to the memories of when he was a kid with his two parents...
"Father...Mother..."
His little backstory is halted when he hears Jang-gan yell.
"WHEN ARE YA GONNA START HAMMERING HUH?! THE SWORD AIN'T GONNA WAIT FOR YOU!"
Jin hurriedly dragged the hammer to the anvil and started hammering...
The day ends with Jin forging 7 swords...
Jang-gan looks at Jin with disappointed eyes...
"Back in my day, my father used to make me forge 25 swords a day and look at you..."
"If you don't at least forge 15 swords by tomorrow I'll tell your old man Babo and I'm sure you'll get a good beating.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
Jin heads home expecting a good rest for all the labor he's done.
Jin entered their house and glanced over the table to his surprise he saw a plethora of food and a letter...
He quickly skimmed through the letter.
"Jin I left some food for you and obviously me, I have some business to attend to. SAVE ME SOME FOOD OR I'LL BEAT YOU UP UNTIL YOU VOMIT ALL OF THOSE OUT...
-Sincerely
Jin's Handsome Master."
After he read the letter he felt disgusted, especially the last sentence.
He takes his time to savor the meal and the aroma of the food captivates him to eat more, but before he overindulges he hears Babo's words
"I'LL BEAT YOU UP UNTIL YOU VOMIT ALL OF THOSE OUT..."
Remembering the letter Jin quickly puts down his bowl and chopsticks...
He thanks the gods for reminding him of the letter.
"Oooooohhh~ Whoever god you are thank you for reminding me.."
Jin sighed and said
"Almost died there..."
Jin goes to his bed and sleeps.
...
...
...
...
...
AACKKKK!!!
His sleep is quickly halted and his soul almost jumps out of his body when he hears his Master's yell..
"JIN GET UP AND DO THE CHORES THEN GO TO THE BLACKSMITH!"
He quickly got up and did as his master told him...
Jin arrives at the Shop just in time, He knocks on the door, and Jang-gan comes out.
Jang-gan looked at me and said: ", Just in time Jin." Jang-gan quickly grabs Jin into the forge.
"We have to make 175 swords for the Yeoji sect in three weeks so you better work hard!"
Jin thought to himself...
"175 swords? In three weeks? I can hardly grip my hammer, I think I'll die of thi—"
Jin's thoughts are stopped once again by Jang-gan's yell.
"STOP STARING AT THE HAMMER DUMBASS GO MAKE SOME SWORDS I SWEAR IF YOU FAIL TO CREATE 175 SWORDS I'LL PERSONALLY SQUISH YER HEAD WITH THAT HAMMER YOU'RE HOLDING!"
"175 Swords in 3 weeks? We're just two people here! And who even buys swords from this man anyway..."
