Chapter 102: Holding Back

With Hyun signaling the official start of the first round, almost all of the participants went into a frenzy, gazing at the blueprints on their desks for a bit before hastily grabbing the metal they needed before chucking them into the furnace beside them. Because of that, it did not take long for a few of them to spew out profanities before retrieving the metal they chucked into the furnace with a pair of tongs, realizing that they had grabbed the wrong type of metal.

Watching this sight unfold a couple of times around him, Valyr tuned out the noise surrounding him as he focused his attention on the blueprint on his desk, reading through it as the system registered the blueprint and committed it to his memory. After that, he retrieved the metal needed for the blueprint and chucked it into his furnace, fanning the flames for a bit to slightly speed up the heating process.
