Chapter 35: ...
After resting for a while, Theo took a deep breath and took out a lightning magical core in the 1rst Tier of the Student Kingdom out of his [Dimensional Bag] and 10 kilos of iron.
In order to forge rank 2 equipment, it is necessary to have an item with Mana in it. Since Theo only had magic cores at the time, he decided to use them. Of course, in the information inherited from the forging technique, it is known that the purer the mana source, the easier it will be to forge, but unfortunately, he only had magic cores. So he decided to try it anyway.
He could also buy an item with purer Mana in [System Store], but their value was too high for him to buy at the moment and he was still learning to forge, so Theo thought it would be a waste to do this and decided to do with the magic cores he had since he had enough magic cores with him.
Theo then placed the iron inside the furnace together with the magic cores. Then, he closed the lid and began to concentrate and use the <Dragon's Furnace> forging technique.
Soon, his golden flames manifested from his paws that were leaning against the furnace, entering it. The golden flames began to slowly melt the iron and the lightning magic cores.
Controlling the whole process with his divine sense, the lightning essence of the magic cores was greatly purified by the golden flames and from using the forging technique. Theo controlled it so the liquid iron and the lightning essence fused. Sweating a little, he continued to fuse the iron with the essence of lightning. Soon the liquid mass of iron began to glow yellow.
"Ufa. I did it!" Theo thought, "Now I just have to use my divine sense to shape it."
Still exerting the <Dragon's Furnace> forging technique, Theo began to make the liquid iron take the shape of a Katana.
After nearly half an hour of making it take shape, Theo succeeded in making a Rank 4 Katana... just kidding.
He managed to succeed, but it was a rank 2 Katana rank of low quality. Of course, even though it was not the best of results, Theo was already more than happy with this, since he knew from Shina that even rank 2 weapons of low quality were worth a lot in the sect. And it was also the first time he tried to forge a rank 2 weapon. Just from the fact he succeeded in forging, he was already more than happy.
[Magic Iron Katana] - [Rank 2] - [Quality: Low] - [Attribute: Lightning]
The Katana-like sword he forged was 40 centimetres long, it was sharp and was of silver colour. Its blade was also slightly bent back.

Theo used his divine sense to get the Katana out of the furnace and controlled one of his tails to hold it. Wanting to test Katana out, Theo began to put mana on his tail.
The moment the Katana came in contact with Theo's mana, it started sparking and crackling sounds were made.
Shina, who was now talking to Yuki, was surprised by the lightning sound and looked at Theo.
"T-Theo... i-is that a magic sword?" Yuki asked in surprise as she saw the Katana that Theo was holding with one of his tails that was making lightning rattling sounds when circling around it.
"Hm..." Theo thought and replied, "Yes, but it's of poor quality."
"Even so, this is incredible!!" Shina said clapping with a silly grin on her face.
"Eeeh, that was embarrassing..." Shina blushed.
"Shina is very cute!!" Yuki said.
"She was very cute acting this way," Theo thought.
"Congratulations Theo! Even though I don't quite understand it, I think it's something to celebrate!" Said Yuki.
"Yes! We need to celebrate!" Shina added happily.
Theo thought and said, "Um... are we going to have a barbecue tonight then?" Theo asked.
Yuki and Shina nodded to the idea of having a barbecue tonight to celebrate Theo's success in the forging.
"But we still have time until dusk. It's time for an afternoon lunch." Theo looked at them and asked, "What do you want for lunch?"
The first to respond was Shina. "Um... can I prepare it for us?"
"Oh! Sure." Theo replied and added, "Is there something you want to make? Just tell me and I can get it for you."
"Um... so..." Shina then began to introduce various ingredients to Theo, some he didn't even know of.
After she finished speaking, Theo went to the [System Store] and bought everything she listed.
Having everything ready to make the afternoon lunch. Shina wore a white apron and began humming as she prepared the afternoon lunch for them.
Shina prepared a delicious homemade bread. To accompany the bread, there was butter, margarine, ham, cheese, fried eggs, and a delicious chocolate cake with strawberries.
Looking at the table full of things for afternoon lunch, made by her, Shina nodded with satisfaction and called Yuki and Theo to eat.
Shina called them: "Theo, Yuki, it's ready!"
"I'm coming," Theo replied that he was playing a card game with Yuki, using his divine senses.
"Going!" Said Yuki, arranging the card with her divine sense and storing them on a shelf next to her.
"Wow! Everything looks good!" Theo exclaimed as he got close to the table.
"Yes, it looks delicious!" Yuki added.
"Hehe! I hope you like it!" Shina laughed awkwardly as she blushed.
"Hm... let me try it then." Theo used his divine sense, and took a pepperoni, ham, egg and cheese, and began to eat.
"Mm~~" When tasting it, Theo made an expression of satisfaction and exclaimed, "Shina it's very good!!"
Yuki also took one of the sandwiches and began to eat. "Mhm! Shina, I really like it too!" She praised Shina.
Shina blushed from being praised by them, turned her face away and hid her embarrassment with her hands... After calming down a bit, Shina took a sandwich too and began nibbling with her small mouth.
As she began to eat, she was pleased with what she made, but she wanted to make it even better to make Theo and Yuki even happier when eating her food, to at least reciprocate some of the kindness given to her.
"It was all wonderful, thank you, Shina!" Yuki said with a smile.
"I also really liked it! I look forward to the next time you cook!" Said Theo.
Shina placed both her hands on her flushed cheeks, and her lips curved into a beautiful smile and said, "Hehee ~ I'm so glad you liked it!!"
