"We're here old man. We need our weapons now." Lance said as he entered the blacksmith followed by the rest excluding Sylvie.

"..." All you could hear was clanging sounds in the back room.

"Looks like he is deaf again. Let's go." Lance said as they all entered the forgery room once again.

"Old man, we need our weapons now," Lance repeated behind the dwarf who was hammering a piece of iron, trying to form a blade.

"Ah!" The dwarf said as he immediately turned around and threw his hammer at Lance.

Seeing this, Lance immediately sidestepped the hammer and watched it fly. Fly towards someone of course.

"BFUGUUU!" Sam wailed as he was sent flying back into the wall, as for the hammer? It bounced off his stomach and went flying straight towards the dwarf who had just thrown it at a force that was two times stronger than he had originally thrown it.

"What the heck!" The dwarf shouted as he saw the hammer come flying straight at him, he immediately dropped to the ground to avoid it.

CLANG

The hammer hit an anvil making a loud sound, as the entire group had to cover their ears in case their ears would fall off.

"Sam are you okay?" The group went over to Sam who had crashed into the wall, yet the wall stood perfectly intact.

"I am okay. That scared me though, why'd that shortie throw that hammer at me with such strength?" Sam said as he frowned.

"Maybe because you deserve it? I don't know," Maria said as she looked at the dwarf who had already gotten up from the ground and was holding onto his hammer.

"Lance! Why do you continue to disturb me every time I forge a weapon! Don't you know I must not lose focus even once! Now you have just made me wasted a good piece of iron!" The dwarf yelled at him.

"Whatever, where are our weapons and equipment?" He asked the dwarf.

"Hmph! Come follow me," The dwarf said as he lead them somewhere else.

"Where are we heading?" Chad could not help but ask the dwarf, as he had expected the equipments to be in a room, but not somewhere deep underneath.

"Hmph! I forged you the best stuff I could, you think I would expose them so robbers could take them? No way, I have hidden them deep in my dungeons." The dwarf said as he pressed a button making the wall suddenly open due to a mechanism.

"Here you are, your weapons. Just like how you all drew them, go test them. However, misuse them and I will kill you literally," The dwarf said as he looked at the kids.

"Yes yes, whatever," Lance said as he went to grab his repaired katana before taking it out of its sheath and swinging.

"Do you still have your golems?" Lance asked the dwarf.

"Hmph! Of course I do, follow me with your equipment." The dwarf said as they headed into another room.

"You can have mock battles against these golems with your new items. They will not kill you, however, they will beat you until you're half dead. So good luck," The dwarf said as he activated seven golems to fight the group.
