Chapter 109: Born In Fire (1/2)
With the s ha the rectangular piece of iron on the anvil
During this period, the students were encouraged to get fae, tools and procedure; no one had i techniques on theht the ha, albeit not with her full power The orange glowing ore still bent slightly fro even further as the haes instead of the flat surfaces
Encouraged by the first strike, the elf silently continued to raise and bring down the ha ot slowly regained a proper forhout the perforhly astonished by the elf’s talent In the beginning, the blows only deforrace However as time went on, Nisha had slowly found her flow and each strike had a target, a driving force behind it with a definite iradually returned to its original foran to slowly disappear as the black specks on the surface were haon
Sadly, before Nisha could finish restoring the iron ingot, the heat relow faded away Unsure what to do when each blow required e the iteet help fro to himself his round face lit up in amusement since the h This case did not mean that her head was stupid, the elf had only i her skill and thus failed to find a way around the current predicaive it to me When the fire fades froh heating it up too often is detrimental to thethe cooling iron into the stone basket inside the forge, they earned a short amount of tiain
“The longer I know you, the more astonished I a before?”
Wiping away the droplets of sweat running down his brows, Conner slightly shook his head while watching the e
“Why do you ask?”
Siot, Nisha didn’t understand why he was asking She didn’t lie to him in any way and clearly explained how this was her first tie Of course, she didn't know her current technique already any longer reseinner, the elf could already form the in with, your current aptitude already exceeds my own I can’t work e how to operate the formation and treat the metals to work the your first iron ingot during the first time you picked up the hammer If I didn’t oversee how you went froinner in the course of a few candles, I’d not believe it!”
Laughing until his whole body shook, his countenance did not quite fit his words, and Nisha wondered whether he was somewhat slow in the head
“Do you feel unwell, Conner? I’ve heard too ood for humans, do you want to sit down for ahim like a silly person, Nisha wondered if he had a heat stroke or not The youngher line of thought and continued to explain
“So shameless, I’ve not yet lost mythis course, you said you had no idea about blacks for Nisha’s nod, he elaborated
“After falling out with the teacher and insulting hie for yourself, alone If you had no idea, then you’d have to test each and every tool around here to figure theroups, this would take a ain, the elf nodded, his words made sense Further on her own, the dwarf’s taunt went against her pride, and she wouldn’t let him win, no matter what
“Then, with the help of only one other student with theoretical knowledge - ot discarded by a previous student Not to speak of the force needed to forge, you ed to turn a randoot with only reheating it once If that isn’t unbelievable, then I don’t knohat is”
Re ites and the haer to see the final product made by the elf
Nisha wanted to retort first, yet she could not find the words to do so right away Instead, she begrudgingly accepted the offered tools and went to work again, replaying their conversation in hertouches the dragon could not deny she probably had so area When she just started out forging earlier during the lesson, she just wanted to get so the haoal sloitched, and she wanted to perfect the ingot instead Her affinity for fire overwrote the control on the for inside the furnace step by step, and she could feel the heat re as she willed it, Nisha was fairly confident theprocess could be done much faster under her direction
Furthermore, the elf only needed to picture the finished product inside her mind and then she could ai to her wishes
The best co an instruh there was still some stiffness and hesitation on her part, she knew the ins and outs regarding the fire Forging fell under that category, so to Nisha, it wasn’t that hard
“It’s not like I downplayedbefore You see before I started to live here in the capital Thurgau,by ourselves since our home was pretty s faster, someone needs to do theant, but regarding s, I should be a bit talented”
For some reason, she didn’t want Conner to misunderstand Since he already took the initiative and stood with her when the teacher singled her out, she would be left with a bad taste in her mouth if he decided to leave now
Fortunately, it looked like the worst case scenario would not co for a bit … andyou It’s still awesome, you haven’t spent ot If you learn everything else as quickly won’t there be nothing left for you soon?”
