After training into the late night, Luke and Kurotan left the inn after a good night’s sleep and breakfast They were trying to repair Kurotan’s axe
“I still do not enjoy using a sword, because it’s small and thin”
“Yeah, and I think the Belloche sword style would be better executed with an axe than a sword The destructiveness of an axe along with the continuity of the sword style would be extremely hard to deal with”
Luke and Kurotan walked towards a sot lost on the way

The blackslared at Luke who had come to stand in front of him
“I don’t even wish to knohy you are here, go find another blacksmith I do not do small jobs”
There was definitely a reason the blacksrumpy mood

Luke placed the daed axe on the oldstare disappeared immediately as his eyes widened
“What?”
The old hter and studied the two pieces of the bisected axe
The surface of the cut, having been severed by an aura master, was impossibly smooth like a mirror
The oldthe surface of the cut with his finger
“Ho, how is this possible? It-It doesn’t even make sense”
People started to gather around at the old man’s response The other blacks and looked towards the old man
“This axe wasHow could it be cut this cleanly? This is iic blade enchanted with a sharpness spell”
The old man looked at Luke ide eyes
“What happened to this axe?”
The crowd’s eyes all turned to Luke, or more specifically histhe old man
“This axe was cut by the aura blade of an aura master”
The old man immediately slapped his knee in excitement
“Of course Of course, it would be impossible if it wasn’t an aura blade But…”
The old lanced Luke up and down rather suspiciously
“You don’t seem to be at a level where you can take on an aura master
“There was aand a brief clash I didn’t take him on, just blocked his attacks twice”
Luke reton and Kurotan’s clash
“A mysterious aura master mistook me for an enemy and attacked You see the bottom of the axe also has a cut?”
The crowd’s eyes now looked at the axe Indeed, there was a cut going through about half of the axe
The old man nodded
“Yes, this is only possible with an aura blade Yes, of course”
“That hat happened after the first clash The second clash is what cut the axe clean in half”
Luke glanced briefly at Kurotan, unco the story as if he had been the one to clash with the auraexpressionlessly
“Afterwards, the auraback quite a distance”
The audience held their breath Just ih to give theoosebumps
“When I blocked two of his attacks, the aurame and asked for my identity Fortunately, ere able to solve the ”
The old h with the end of the story
“I see That explains the axe”
The audience continued to look at Luke without dispersing To their eyes, Luke seemed to be a kid with incredible luck
“So why are you hear at the smithy?”
“I a the axe, but it doesn’t seem like a bad idea to leave it in its current state as evidence of my battle with an aura master”
The old reed
“Give it to ive you three axes from my personal collection”
“Well…”
It was then that someone from the audience shouted out
“I will pay you fifty denarins You should be able to buy four axes with that money, so sell the axe to me”
The first offer set off a cascade of offers from the rest of the crowd
“I will pay you seventy denarins”
“One hundred denarins Any object with the mark of an aura master is priceless”
Everyone at the smithy was here in order to attain faoal could be said to reach the end of their martial path and become an aura master
It would have been inore an axe that had been cut in half by an aura master
“Two hundred fifty denarins, my entire fortune Please sell it to me”
After a while, the price of the axe had exceeded three hundred denarins Luke couldn’t help but gape at the sight of the frantic crowd
‘This is why the Sith Empire has been able to survive while surrounded by unfriendly countries’
Although Luke felt impressed by the crowd, he still desperately needed the rand sum of five hundred denarins
“Here you go Please, take care of it”
The hairy old coins only smiled wholeheartedly
“Don’t worry, this will be enerations…”’
Luke s the back of the hairythe axe
Although the hairy man had stated that he would treat it as an heirloom, it wasto others about the story Luke had told the crowd
‘Well, that’s that I have the money to bet on Kurotan, as well as prepare some equipment for him’
Luke turned to look at the old smith, who looked disappointed It see an object with an aura master’s mark
“I will definitely give you the chance to purchase another object if the opportunity comes, sir”
“damn, I don’t think that opportunities like yours are common Anyways, I suppose you will need a new axe”
“Yes, sir”
“You are a man who has survived an encounter with an aura ht with a weapon that I’ve made Come, follow me”
Luke and Kurotan followed the old man as he walked deeper into the smithy
