Friday morning.

After waking up, Sehun Lee stood up as usual after checking his surroundings and memories.

tuung-

Unlike yesterday, which was droopy, the body stood up like a bouncing.

Lee Se-hoon smiled involuntarily at the vitality that circulated throughout his body and the faint heat of the crimson.

‘Good.’

There are things like sleeping without the rosary ring in the middle of the night, but the biggest thing was that the Yeongyeonsin magic increased the efficiency of moving the body.

‘Today, I have to go in the best condition.’

A day to make items for delivery in a metal smelting class.

As he is the head of the department in the name of fame, shouldn’t he make something usable?

There was also an expectation of how far I could go because my physical condition became more usable.

‘I’m going to wear this later… … .’

Se-hun Lee, who took the rosary wreath separately, went out of the dormitory immediately after washing himself.

As usual, the entrance to the dormitory was buzzing strangely. Sehun Lee went out without even paying attention to the now familiar situation.

tap-

As soon as Lee Se-hoon left the entrance, the sound of footsteps following him.

When he glanced back at him, he saw Erica walking side by side as if it was natural.

“What else is going on today?”

“I have a business for the Smelting Faculty.”

“But why are you here?”

“I want to go with you.”

Sehun Lee glanced at the face of Erica, who was constantly talking without hiding.

‘I don’t see any change in the fact that a relationship has been established.’

Of course, since it’s Lv. 1, you can’t expect any big changes, but if you’re a difficult person like Erica, you’re bound to get a kick out of it.

Sehun Lee, who was contemplating how to check this, decided to simply check it and opened his mouth.

“Erica.”

“yes.”

“What do you want to do with me?”

The conversation was cut off at Lee Se-hoon’s direct question, and the two continued to walk without a word.

Two people walking side by side and looking straight ahead without even looking at them.

It was strange enough for viewers to feel awkward, but the parties continued walking without any hesitation.

And the moment the strange silence was about to continue.

“It will complete me.”

“complete?”

“okay. In the ideal form that the family desires.”

The ideal form that the family desires. Sehun Lee seemed to have a vague idea of what it was.

‘Are you aiming for the position of head of the family?’

For a family like Inoue, to become the head of the family, you will need not only force but also external power.

In that sense, recruiting talented youngsters in advance is probably the most basic of the basics.

“Then it doesn’t matter if it’s not me.”

“right. But the more candidates, the better.”

“Candidate… … .”

It might offend you because it’s a fairly snobbish answer, but Sehun Lee liked that attitude more.

It was because I felt that the way to improve Erica’s relationship would be easier than I thought.

‘At the end of the day, I’ll help you become the head of the party.’

In the future before returning, her older brother Ren became the head of the family, and Erica worked as a member of the company, but later became a demon and was subjugated.

I don’t know what happened there, but if I help Erica become the head of the household, I may be able to naturally come into contact with the incident and prevent her from becoming a demon.

‘For now, this should be enough.’

The more in-depth parts will be explored gradually in the future.

As he understood the situation to some extent, Se-Hoon Lee finally asked her for the ‘recipe’ to make the edge stone.

“Then the higher the value, the better the treatment?”

“… … .”

Erica suddenly stopped walking, and Sehun Lee, who was walking a few more steps, stopped walking and looked back.

And the two looked into each other’s eyes just like when we first saw each other.

“It will get better.”

A strange feeling flickered through Erica’s eyes.

“More than you thought.”

Is it mere expectation? Or is it a monopoly on talent?

Seeing Erica for the first time, Sehun Lee had a clear sense of what kind of character she was.

‘I can make this.’

It seemed like I could make Erika’s edge stone right away, but for now, I have to focus on the smelting that will happen soon.

In order not to forget even later, Sehun Lee, who had Erika in his eyes, nodded.

“Then I’ll be looking forward to it.”

After saying those words, the two of them started walking side by side again, and when they arrived at the main building, Erica stood in front of them before they parted.

“this.”

A letter envelope that I have seen many times. When Sehun Lee, who was handed it, looked at it reflexively, Erica spoke calmly.

“You can’t tear it apart this time.”

“Hmm. I have already received the invitation.”

“know. But there’s nothing wrong with having a lot. That will increase your value.”

It certainly feels a little more powerful to say that I was invited by two families rather than being invited by one family.

‘Besides, there will be fewer useless fights.’

Sehun Lee, who was looking at the invitation, suddenly asked as if curious.

“By the way, when exactly is this going to open?”

“Nothing has been decided yet. Seniors get together to set a date, but usually it opens after a few weeks.”

Was it to see not only the grades at the time of admission, but also the skills after that? It was quite spacious, so Sehun Lee nodded and took the invitation card.

“okay. Thank you.”

“… … .”

Erika, who was looking at Lee Se-hoon who had the invitation, suddenly held out her left hand.

“Well?”

“handshake.”

It was a bit embarrassing because it was such a sudden request, but since you can extract the relationship in advance, there is nothing wrong with this.

“What. great.”

Lee Se-hoon naturally grabbed the left hand that Erica reached out, and at the same time triggered the extraction of ties.

[Extract a bond from the target ‘Erika Inoue’.]

[The relationship with the producer ‘Sehun Lee’ is Lv.1.]

‘What kind of ability is it?’

If he has such an eccentric personality and talent, it seems like he’ll come out with a really useful guy. When Sehun Lee is making an interesting expression.

“… … .”

Erica stared intently at the clasped hands.

I shook it lightly, so I can take it off now, but I hold it tight and don’t let go. As the time spent together, Sehun Lee looked at him with a shaky expression on the eyes of those around him that were gathering more and more.

“How long are you going to hold on to? What’s wrong?”

“no. just… … .”

Erika, who took off her hand and naturally scanned Lee Se-hun’s palm, muttered in a strange voice.

“It’s bigger and tougher than it looks.”

“… … .”

So what does it mean that the blacksmith’s hands are all like that? When Lee Se-hoon is looking strangely at a feeling that is difficult to react to.

“see ya.”

Erica, who left a brief message, walked to somewhere, and Sehun Lee, who looked at her back, made a mysterious expression.

‘It’s a guy you don’t even know.’

Sehun Lee, who pushed back his thoughts about Erica for a moment, went straight to the smelting room.

Inside, the cadets who arrived first were checking their equipment with nervous expressions, and Sehun Lee sat in an empty seat and looked at the equipment.

‘By the way, should I get a hammer too?’

So far, I have used the entry-level smelting hammer given by Babel, but in the future, I need a more usable hammer to make proper things.

Master’s hammer, which he used until the last time before returning, was the most familiar to him, but he couldn’t get it now, and he was not very reluctant to get it again.

“… … ttt.”

Recalling memories of the past, Se-hun Lee shook his head to shake it off and looked at the hammer again.

And when I was looking at the drawing that popped into my head to see what kind of hammer would be better. The door to the smelting room opened and assistant instructor Inseong Han entered with a wagon-type golem.

“Today I will finish the things I made during the last class. Did you know that the finished product will be delivered on campus and off campus?”

The cadets answered at the same time, and Inseong Han continued the explanation.

“Of course, it will not be delivered immediately, but after the department goes through its own inspection process. If you fail, only the basic budget will be set, and if you pass, the budget will be determined according to the sales price.”

Han In-seong, who returned the previously recovered products, looked at him with a serious expression.

“It is not an exaggeration to say that the things we will make today determine the overall flow of the first semester. So, do your best so you won’t have any regrets. Okay?”

“Yes!”

“Then from now on… … start!”

At Han In-seong’s command, the cadets started making each one, and Lee Se-Hoon looked at the swords he had made in the previous class.

‘It’s a bitch… … .’

It’s not the standard before the regression, but it’s a rip off from the current point of view.

There are traces of trying to make it plausible somehow, but there were a lot of subtle discrepancies because the body did not support it.

These tiny scratches are bound to come together one by one to become a huge crack. Sehun Lee, who lit the brazier, took off his work clothes and wrapped it around his waist.

‘This is not the time to relax.’

If you don’t have room temperature magic on your work clothes, your stamina will drop quickly because of the heat inside the smelting room, but now that you have red lily with the Yeongyeonsin magic, you will be exposed to a variety of information.

Sehun Lee, who wore only a black undershirt, looked at the heated brazier and put the sword straight in.

Whoops!

As the blade heats up red, the internal magic arrangement begins to shake. A midpoint where the shape becomes loose without collapsing.

As soon as he reached that point, Sehun Lee took out his sword and put it on the anvil and started forging.

Kaang! Kaang! Kaang!

A hammer that still swings consistently without any deviation.

Although it looked the same as before, the balance of the blade, which had been slightly offended by the more accurate hammering, began to be restored.

Woo-

Previously, you had to squeeze the muscles of the whole body to do one hammer, but now the magic circuit of Yeongyeon Magic helps you move.

A situation with minimal preparation, rather than being over the situation on an ad hoc basis.

In that series of processes, for the first time after returning, Sehun Lee felt that he was really ‘smelting’.

Kaang! Kaang!

It’s still clumsy, sloppy, and there’s nothing I like about it, but everything is still there.

Sehun Lee smiled softly at the feeling he had not felt in a long time, and pounded the hammer non-stop to get the shape.

profit!

“Whew… … .”

After finishing the quenching, Sehun Lee looked at the newly forged sword.

‘This is fine… … The rest won’t be in time… … .’

There were a total of five blades made before, but at the current speed, it was difficult to fix them all.

‘It would be right to make one properly.’

The person who makes five at a reasonable level may be able to get more budget, but if that happens, the value of his brand as the head of the department will decrease.

Se-Hoon Lee, who decided to focus on one sack, placed the grindstone and then took a stance.

Awk- Aaah–

The power of magic is expressed as a blessing and a disaster among blacksmiths.

Blessing is because transformation and restoration in a way that was previously impossible is possible, and disaster is because the variables are also increased.

‘But I like it now.’

The better the blacksmith’s ability, the stronger his weapon will be. There is nothing more joyous than that for a person who creates something.

Awk- Aaah–

A sword whose blade is forged every time it passes by a whetstone.

Lee Se-hoon’s eyes were focused towards the blade at the sharpness that began to be engraved in it little by little.

‘More sharper… … .’

The blade will eventually become duller the more you wield it, but it may vary depending on how you set up the magic arrangement in the first moment the sword was made.

Awk- Aaah–

As if creating a new sword rather than simply sharpening the blade, Sehun Lee’s hand moved nonstop.

The small noises around you disappear one by one, and the scenery in front of you becomes blurry.

And the moment when all of Lee Se-hoon’s spirit turned to the sword in his hand.

shoot ah

A muffled sound rang in my ears.

‘ah.’

The sound of the world falling apart.

At the still and still sound of the waves, Lee Se-hun’s teeth were sharpened and his body relaxed at the same time.

When he heard this sound, he always made a good thing. As if to prove that fact, the body moves naturally.

‘It’s funny.’

Is it okay as a human being to rejoice while listening to the end of the world? I had such a trivial question, but Sehun Lee quickly erased it from his mind.

Right now, I just want to enjoy this moment that I feel after a long time. With that thought, all of Lee Se-hoon’s senses turned towards the sword in his two hands, revealing the skills as a blacksmith that he had never used before.

shoot ah

The gray skin of the blade was peeled off, revealing a pure white appearance.

Anticipation 銳气 White light.

Not a temporary sharpness, but a light that was engraved into the sword itself.

On the day of the white light, the magic arrangement of the sword god naturally changed its shape and took place perfectly.

Aww-

The surface of the whetstone was cut very thinly.

“… … Whoo… … Whoa.”

Sehun Lee’s movements stopped when he saw it, and a sound he had never heard before returned, and the sound of rough breathing and heartbeat echoed in his ears.

A body drenched in sweat and exhausted magical power.

Although he had a little bit of stamina left, it was an absurd state to think that he had achieved this by only sharpening a sword.

‘Still, I was able to make one properly.’

A feeling of satisfaction and goodness that I haven’t felt in a long time. At that, Sehun Lee smiled and looked at the sword in his hand.

‘It’s a bit disappointing compared to before the return… … It’s not bad though.’

This is the best I’m in right now. Sehun Lee, who had moderately shaken off his regrets, lightly wiped the blade and immediately assembled the protector and handle.

‘complete.’

A long sword that boasts a pure white spirit.

That’s all, but that was enough.

[The armament ‘White Long Sword’ is complete!]

[How to unfold the meaning of a great blacksmith with only the basic skills!

It is no exaggeration to say that the skill of a blacksmith who has set a new edge by fully raising the potential of the material has surpassed the first class.]

[As a result of the judgment, the grade of ‘White Longsword’ is ‘Advanced’]

[You have acquired the skill ‘White Light (C)’.]

‘Well, this is good enough.’

The grade is advanced, but a significant result in that only ordinary iron was used. Isn’t it said that what was said to be close to first-class when the five-color painting was made has now surpassed first-class?

‘It’s a very small amount, but the original skill has been raised.’

That alone could be called a great harvest. Sehun Lee, who smiled with satisfaction, naturally looked around.

“What the hell am I… … .”

“ah… … .”

“I really hate it… … .”

I was able to see the faces of my classmates, looking at their own weapons and making disappointing faces.
