Chapitre 11: School Festival (pt.1)

It had been decided by the school body that this years school festival was going to be held beside, on and in the lake. For the festival the school had invited many a number of people from around the world and the students family. This was done both to attract more students and show off the fact that this was the best school in the world as well as to say if we said we were the second best no-one would claim first.

As Daedalus arrived at the entrance to the area he began looking around. Seeing the grand look of the festival Daedalus could not help but think 'Show offs.' He then considered his armour and looked around, there was a crowd looking at his armour in wonder and shock at its craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Daedalus seeing the crowd could not help but smirk pridefully, before suddenly he felt a blunt object collide with his helmet. Due to the ringing in his ears Daedalus quickly began to feel nauseous and began stumbling forward before being held up.

Turning Daedalus could see a grinning Gram, holding him up by the neck of his armour. Setting Daedalus down Gram said "Stop with that prideful smirk or you will get arrogant."

"Don't worry I am just a bit proud because of my masterpiece." Daedalus said happily.

"Ok but if you do become arrogant then I will beat it out of you. Nice armour by the way." Gram replied half serious and half joking.

The two then began to walk towards the lake where they decided to part ways after chatting about training and some magic.

Arriving at a sign-up area for a number of contests and challenges Daedalus began to look through the events. Among the numerous events Daedalus saw, the Talent show which would allow the audience themselves to judge the participants rather than a group of judges. There were other contest he saw as well but Daedalus mainly liked the look of this one in particular, only one other got his interest and that was the blacksmith contest, the contestants would get five hours to make any item or items they want and the person who made the best quality item would get a prize of 12 kg of meteorite.

Daedalus ended up signing up for the blacksmith contest and the talent show. The first of the two would be the blacksmith contest that would start in thirty minutes. So Daedalus walked over to the area that the blacksmith contest would take place before finding a spot and sitting down.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

After waiting thirty minutes all the contestants had arrived and found a spot to sit at. The announcer then spoke saying "Now that everyone is here please gather your materials from beside me in these boxes or use the metal you have brought with!"

Daedalus quickly reacted by opening a back compartment on his armour, where he pulled out all of his forging equipment and a few materials which included the wood Ebony and his new alloy Uru, one being a medium grey and the other like the pitch black void.

He the began to forge.


Chapitre 12: SF (Pt.2), Blacksmith Contest

As he began Daedalus started by lighting the fire, then after five minutes and it was up to heat he threw the Uru into the fire to heat up. While the Uru was heating up Daedalus began to carefully carve at the Ebony with a thin but long scalpel like knife, with an immensely sharp edge.

The ebony he was using was a thick piece of wood from the base of a two thousand years old Ebony tree that his family had purchased at an auction for a lot of money.

As he began to carve into it the audience and even some of the other craftsman around him were bewildered and enchanted by the techniques gracefulness and delicacy towards detail. Daedalus' techniques seemed to flow as the Ebony began to take the look of a great shield as big as Daedalus himself.

The shield had taken a wonderful shape though it was clearly not finished, the people where curious, but he continued carving in patterns of beautiful lotuses, Majestic Phoenixes and awe inspiring dragons. Daedalus had seen many pictures of all these things and he thought it would make his shield look amazing after the final touches. All of these images seemed to revolve around certain trenches in the wood.

Daedalus after finishing carving all the details in finally looked back towards the Uru that was smelting. Daedalus saw that it was now in a liquid state so he grabbed the container that the liquid is in with his tongs and began to pour the liquid onto the Ebony shield. As he poured the Uru it began to follow the trenches that he had carved earlier this forming the pattern of a raging black void dragon roaring at the heavens.

Waiting for a short while the metal hardened, so Daedalus began to sand it down removing lumps. Then he began to carve once more this time using an incredibly sharp chisel and his hammer. Slowly but surely the dragon made of Uru became more and more life-like to the point that it's imposing might was nearly palpable to the onlookers, of which at this also included all the other blacksmiths who were partaking in the contest.

Daedalus then put the finishing touches on the shield making the void dragon feel and nearly project its magnificent roar towards the heavens. Finally Daedalus begins appraising the beautiful creation of his before saying "Wonderful." with a nigh palpable pride in his voice. As he said that the audience and the blacksmiths began clapping and cheering wildly.

In the background a man walked forward saying with an indifferent look on his face "My master would like to purchase this shield and that armour and sword too. We will give you one hundred gold for all three."

Daedalus hearing this immediately became enraged saying "You think a meer hundred gold is enough to buy not one but all three of my masterpieces, you're out of your bloody mind. Even if I did want to sell them it would be for at least ten million for just the work alone let alone the material, you can go climb up your father's ass for all I care!"
