045. Masterpiece

‘I’m looking forward to it.’

She is on her way to her blacksmith shop when she hears that the dagger using the ‘Blade of Psyche’ that she entrusted to Mura has been completed.

Although it is not planned, I will be getting my hands on a work that the legendary blacksmith Mura personally put a lot of effort into.

Already a few days ago, at Mura’s request, I stopped by her blacksmith shop several times to check my body and sword-wielding form.

It is a process of detailed adjustment so that it fits perfectly in my hand.

‘Originally, it’s a service I couldn’t even imagine for the price I paid,’

What is it like?

Mura’s craftsmanship seemed to be running wild as she was happy to be given rare materials to a proper customer who came to visit her after several years.

Win-win.

And today, we can finally see the results of Mura’s runaway craftsmanship.

Please.

I just hope that the work is ‘Mura’s masterpiece.’

‘Well, I have no doubt about it.’

“No matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand it. Si-woo thinks that such a blacksmith is greater than the master I am introducing. Isn’t that a real shot?”

Erina is shaking her head next to me.

“How on earth do you know and follow me? Are you a PoXmon?”

“Pica?”

Erina Esnatia raises her middle finger at me while imitating the sounds of some unspeakable imaginary animal.

“You can’t even enter the FourX Ball. You have to stay quiet.”

“Why are you saying I’m not a kid? Siwoo.”

How did Erina know? When she found out that I had received a call from Mura, she came running over to me.

“Why are you so curious? Are you actually coveting the material too?”

“Hah, what do you think of me, Siwoo? I don’t put you on the same level as commoners like YOU.”

Well, he has the connections and money to get it if he wants.

“Then why do you care so much?”

“I really want to see with my own eyes how great the blacksmith’s skills were in making Siwoo reject my proposal. Even if I did that, the result would be obvious.”

“That’s it, it’s probably obvious.”

Murada is a ‘legendary’ blacksmith with the greatest talent. He looked at me and said, don’t fall back.

I guess Erina is having fun because she follows me around like a piece of gum these days.

What is this?

“What’s wrong?”

Baek A-rin looks up at me with clear blue eyes.

Why on earth are you here?

“Cute Why did Arin come?”

Erina stands with her hands up and whispers to me.

“I can hear everything, Miss Erina.”

Baek A-rin looks at Erina and says something.

“Why are you coming? You called me.”

“Of course, it wasn’t intentional!”

A text message sent from Erina to Baek A-rin.

[I’m going to check out the fruits of me and Kim Si-woo now.]

It appears that she sent a text message to tease Baek Arin. And Baek A-rin was caught up in it and jumped forward in one step.

When on earth did the two exchange numbers? Actually, maybe our relationship isn’t that bad?

“I was wondering what the hell was going on because he was talking nonsense. I couldn’t believe it was a story about material processing.”

Baek Arin shakes his head as if his head hurts.

“You don’t have to come out.”

“Well, since you know that Miss Erina’s nonsense, there’s no need to follow along.”

“What nonsense? Bullsh*t!”

Baek A-rin ignored Erina’s protest and looked at me.

“I heard that it’s a sword that Kim Si-woo requested. To be honest, I can’t help but be interested. I’m the only one who doesn’t know anything about it.”

“Those eyes are a crime, Baek A-rin.”

I’m really scared.

It’s a threat.

Anyway, there is no harm in showing Baek A-rin the equipment that contains Mura’s skill.

Rather, only plus remains.

‘I’ve already made preparations for Mura.’

“Then let’s all go through this together. I’ll show you the blacksmith skills I’m proud of.”

***

After a long walk with the girls, we arrived at Mura’s blacksmith shop.

It still looks shabby and unsightly.

“W-here?”

Baek Ah-rin looks like she has trouble controlling her facial expressions.

From the moment I told him I was the blacksmith who entrusted the equipment to him, he seemed very curious about who it was. It can be disappointing.

However, if you just look at the shabby building and ignore it, you will get in big trouble. Because this is a legendary blacksmith shop.

Thinking like that, he spoke to Baek A-rin in a low voice as if he knew everything.

“It would be a mistake to judge her based solely on her appearance. She is not someone you can easily meet.”

“No, not like that…”

Baek A-rin flinches as if she’s been stabbed a little.

And Erina is standing next to her.

“YES! That’s right. Baek A-rin, you’re impatient! It’s too early to judge based on appearances alone!”

No, there is no one here who judges based on appearances more than you. You f*cking raceist.

“I’m here, Mura.”

“Oh, are you here?!”

Mura opens the door and welcomes you.

Once inside, unlike before, it was quite neat and there was a lot of professional equipment.

‘I guess I wrote it correctly.’

In addition to the cost of forging her dagger using [Psyche’s Blade] Material, she personally provided about 20 million won.

No, I invested.

‘Because she is worth it.’

It seemed like Mura was grateful just for handing over her precious material so that she could process it.

‘That alone is not enough.’

I plan to incur a large debt and keep him by my side. She likes her too, so isn’t it a win-win?

“This is the blacksmith you were talking about?”

“Ha, even if you are small, you shouldn’t judge others based on their size. Even though they are like this, they are dwarves…”

“Dwarf?”

“Shut up, you raceist.”

Erina, this really won’t work.

At that time, Mura hesitated as if he was about to say something.

‘You can do it. Mura. You can do it.’

When I clenched my fist and gave her a silent cheer, she slapped the tabletop as if to show her courage.

“Shut up, you kids! There is no blacksmith with better skills than me.”

Yes, that’s it!

It did get a little strange with the mix of polite and informal language.

As she continued to meet Mura, he constantly told her that what she lacked was her confidence… And he instilled in her will.

If you are a craftsman, you should always have confidence.

This is the result.

That’s good.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.”

“I’m sorry! ME is a f*cking racecist!”

Baek A-rin is taken aback by her words, and Erina is once again trembling in her corner, as if her PTSD has taken hold.

Yes, this is it.

I left the two alone and asked Mura.

“So you said it was completed?”

“Yes, it is perfectly made, Master.”

After saying that, Mura bent down as if she was trying to get something out of her.

“What is a master?”

Baek A-rin sneakily approaches me and speaks quietly.

“A master is a master.”

“….”

-Thump

Mura placed a fairly large chest on her shelf.

“This is it, Master.”

It was the chest where I first brought the materials.

I guess it’s because of the characteristics of [Psyche’s Blade].

“This…! What kind of material did you make this equipment with? A magic suppressor. The material you would use for this would be at the level of a boss monster.”

Baek A-rin is surprised to see the chest.

“Oh, it’s just being stored away. It won’t have any real effect now. Without the Master’s orders.”

“Good. Can I open it?”

“Of course, Master.”

-Pusheee

When the lock was released at her words, the top of the chest opened with the sound of steam being released.

“This is…”

There was no light on inside the blacksmith shop, so even though it was dark, it was clearly visible.

A blade dark enough to be seen even in the dark. The sword did not have the luster it should have, and it looked so sharp that it was difficult to even tell which part was the blade.

An unusual shape in which the blade and handle are straight and smoothly connected without a nose.

“Uh, how do you feel?”

Mura asked me as if she was nervous.

Is this guy asking me what I think of this?

This is just….

“No matter who sees it, it’s a masterpiece.”

As if to prove it, even Baek Arin seemed speechless from the moment she saw the sword.

“Thank you, Master!”

Mura had a smile on her face as if she was truly happy. His face looked happy, as if his hard work had been rewarded.

“Listen to it, Master.”

I want to listen to it even if I don’t have to.

She carefully grasped the handle and lifted her dagger.

[Psyche’s Blade]

:Masterpiece by master Mura.

:Ben The [Corruption] Effect is applied to the opponent.

: If used without permission other than the owner, the [Corruption] Effect will be applied.

: Excluding this effect, the same effect as [Psyche’s Blade] Is applied to one weapon you own other than [Psyche’s Blade].

“This is…”

“The material’s original properties have been completely controlled. Anyone other than the master will not be able to handle it. Try swinging it.”

-Swish

Hearing Mura’s words, I lightly swung my dagger in the air.

“What do you think, Master? We perfectly analyzed the Master’s hands and attack style that we measured last time and created a customized one.”

“This is custom?”

“Yes…?”

Mura looks at me a little surprised.

It can’t be custom-made.

“This is not customization.”

“If I made a mistake…”

“This is my hand!!!!”

“What do you mean? Is this Si-woo’s hand?!”

Erina is surprised by my words.

There is no way it can be explained in words like customization.

I thought it was a straight handle, but it wasn’t. It only looked that way because it had just enough curves in it.

Even though it is my first time handling a sword, it is attached to me as if it were a part of my body.

“This isn’t a sword or anything. It’s definitely my third hand!!”

“So what happens if you do this?”

Erina Es Natia took away her dagger.

“My, my hand!!! My hand fell!!!! Phantom pain! It’s phantom pain!!”

“aaahhh!!!! sh*t!! What is this!! It f*cking hurts!!”

“What on earth are you doing…?”

From noble mtl dot com

Baek A-rin, who was watching Me, who was suffering from phantom pain, and Erina, who was experiencing the effects of her corruption due to her lack of qualifications, by her side, shook her head as if it was pathetic.

However, she soon saw the sword and muttered to herself.

“This is definitely a masterpiece.”

“Heh, of course!”

Only after holding her sword again did she regain her peace of mind and answer Baek A-rin.

Yes, of course it is a masterpiece. Who created this work?

Baek A-rin asked Mura with a serious expression.

“Are you not interested in working for me?”

“Ha! I have no intention of working anywhere else but under the Master!”

Yes, you are good! That’s it!

For the blacksmith of , The ‘experience’ of handling many good materials is more important than anything else.

‘Name value’ is practically everything.

So, Mura, who had incredible talent, was not receiving the light.

‘The gaslighting of people around her who were jealous of her may have also played a role.’

But she recognized her talent and wondered if there was someone like Baek Arin who would approach her like this, so she diligently brainwashed Mura….

No, she owed money.

A man who not only entrusted a great material to a man who was rotting away in his closet making agricultural equipment, but also gave him a large sum of money just by trusting him.

I am that kind of person to Mura.

There is no way Mura with strong loyalty would betray me.

“What on earth is in this man? Everyone…”

Baek A-rin mutters while looking at me.

With this, I got the dagger.

Professor Kang Geom-seon’s upcoming exam.

And above all, it will be useful in ‘Academy Raid’.

“My hand!! My hand is being attacked!!”

Why are you still doing that in the corner?
