”Huuu~”

Wallace wiped the sweat trickling down on his forehead after confirming that he successfully completed the task.

It seems that the Mana Array within the room had also detected the finished product that he made using the new forging method as another secret compartment opened from the desk near the bed.

The inside of the drawer this time was similar to an Artifact Forging Box but it's functions seems to be quite different.

”Oh... Should I place the knife here?”

[ This compartment is similar to Item Scanner Artifact. It will help in appraising your creation. Due to it's size, only small objects can be appraised. ]

This was answered by Avalon, the floating sphere beside him.

Wallace was satisfied to it's answer and thought of something else.

'Great... It can easily identify Mana Artifacts now. Once the Simulation Pods were fully released, it can learn more. Hehe...'

While Wallace was lost in his thoughts as he imagined the future of Avalon, the scanner completed the appraisal on his creation.

[ Light Deadric Knife - A simple but extremely sharp knife made of Pure Daedric Steel and Purified Ebony Wood. It can barely be considered as a Sixth Generation Mana Artifact as per Cloud Hawks Manor's standard.

Effects:

- High Cold Resistance - this will take effect when the knife was gripped.

- Reform - due to Spirit Channelling, the knife can reform to it's original state by itself even if it was destroyed or damaged given enough time.

Quality:

- Rank C - Low Grade Sixth Gen Artifact.

Bounded to Wallace Ravencroft. ]

”Mhm... Not bad.” Wallace evaluated his own creation. He was referring to the ”bounded” effect that was included in the status of the weapon. Based on the information that was in the memory crystal, this means that it's effects would only work if it is being used by him.

For the Reform effect, as long as the parts of the weapon were still present, it can still be repaired. But if it was destroyed to the point of leaving nothing behind, then the Reform will not take effect.

”I wonder if everyone finished the task... but if that was the case, we might be graded depending on our duration... That may not be favorable to me. I just barely finished it at the last minute.”

Wallace heard a knock on the door. It was Clyne Troyard calling them outside.

He stood up and was about to take the knife with him but the compartment suddenly closed.

”Oh... Maybe they still need to grade it personally?” Wallace thought upon seeing that he can't open the compartment without using stronger force.

He walked outside and met with Clyne. The others hadn't been called out yet as it seems.

”Your room signalled us that you finished the task at the last minute. Congratulations.” Clyne said smilingly after seeing Wallace.

”Thank you...” Wallace smiled as he appreciated Clyne's words.

”Mhm... I will still call the others, wait here.”

He then proceeded to fetch the other examinees.

'He didn't look for the artifact I made. I guess it was really supposed to be on the compartment then.'

Wallace thought for a moment but after seeing the other five that was beaming with confidence, he felt a bit worried about the result.

'Did they finished it earlier than me? Let's just hope that there's someone who failed or at least have poor quality of weapon.'

This thought only appeared in his mind and not to be taken too seriously. He wasn't that petty to hope others to fail, just only a little bit. After all, he was still a young and competitive teen.

Wallace saw that Merlin Hermes has a bit of smug look on his face.

'Well, it seems that this kid completed the task easily. He doesn't look stressed or tired at all. I hope he'll be eliminated.' Wallace thought but again changed his mind.
