alex could already go down to the eleventh floor where the rank 3 monsters were, Alex was no longer interested so much and leveling up he already had enough power to pass the tests of the imperial academy, if he only leveled up like crazy he could surely face to rank 6 monsters, now what interested him was blacksmithing
Alex got up and dressed to go to Aimi's forge, when he arrived at the forge Aimi was already waiting for him
"Your first day learning and you're already late,brat" said Aimi
"sorry i fell asleep" alex said with a forced smile
"Well I don't care, today I'm going to teach you what each thing is for and then you'll have to memorize this book" Aimi said while putting on an evil smile, passing him a very thick book
"Teacher, what is there inside for the book to be so thick?" Alex asked with fear because he knew that he had to memorize all that book, although with his talent he would learn it quickly but even so it is still enough.
"There is not much, just all the metals and materials that are used in the forge for all ranks, so if you learn that book you will not need to study about materials anymore" Aimi said laughing inside knowing all the suffering it is to learn that book
"Well leaving the book aside, if you want to learn blacksmithing you have to familiarize yourself with the tools and techniques, I will only teach you the techniques when you have memorized the book" said Aimi and listed what the tools and their functions were.
anvil: block of metal with a flattened surface, anvils have a horn that is used to bend the metal into a circular shape
hammer: tool used by blacksmiths to repeatedly hit materials into shape
punch: metal tool used with a hammer to punch holes in metal
crucible :vessels made of refractory materials used to melt metal at high temperatures
chisel: used to chip, nick or split delicate parts of the material
tongs: is what blacksmiths use to hold and transport hot materials
vice: used to hold a piece of metal or other material while working on the
forging bellows:Instrument that traps outside air and throws it with force in the forge
forge: Furnace in which metals are heated to forge or work them
"I hope you've taken note because I'm not going to repeat it to you" said Aimi looking at Alex who didn't even flinch from the barrage of information he just gave her.
"Don't worry teacher, there is no one who can learn things faster" said Alex with a smile on his face and puffing out his chest
"Well, today I have nothing more to teach you, come back after you have memorized the whole book" Aimi said and turned to the forge
"goodbye teacher, I'll be back soon" Alex said, Alex went home, Alex thought that in two weeks he could memorize everything in the book, Alex couldn't be happier with the talent he has as a quick laerner
Alex spent the next two weeks with the same routine, hunting in the mornings until he reached level 100 and in the afternoons he began to memorize the entire book, Alex thought that it would be very difficult for him to learn all that, but after reading for one took a liking to learning about the materials
Alex was sitting in his room reading a book, after a while, Alex closed the book and looked up.
"It finally took me two weeks to learn this whole damn book" said Alex, although after reading it for a while he began to like learning about the materials and their characteristics, Alex left his house on his way to Aimi's store, when arriving he met four people
two of them wore full body metal armor along with a sword on their waists, they seemed to be back guards, the third one in the middle wore elegant clothes with gold embroidery, most likely a noble, the other one who was far away was Aimi, Alex from what he saw from the outside, seemed to be arguing
Alex went to open the door but just the door opened and the nobleman came out
"Aimi will be back next month to pick up the order and I hope it's ready" said the noble as he left, Alex entered the store and saw Aimi pissed off
"what do you want brat" said Aimi pissed off
"I finished learning the whole book" Alex said, immediately after hearing this Aimi went from having a pissed off face to one of surprise
"That's impossible, but if you say it's true, tell me what this mineral is and its characteristics" Aimi said taking a black metal
"That's black iron, a rank 8 material, it has a higher hardness than steel but it has a terrible conduction for mana, when you hammer it you have to infuse the mana hard to allow it to mix with other materials" said Alex reciting what he had memorized from the book about the black iron
"And this one?" Aimi asked in response, picking up a 5cm red scale.
"That scale is a flaming serpent scale, a rank 4 monster, the material is considered rank 7, it has good hardness and good affinity with mana, especially with fire mana" said Alex
"It seems that it is true that you have memorized it, how did you manage it" Aimi said
"Ha ha, I just memorized it normally" Alex replied
"Well as promised now I will teach you what is the blacksmith the real blacksmith" said Aimi moving towards the forge
