Going into the guild i didnt thing that it would be this bad the had that depressing air around people just

sitting in their silence and drinking their drinks.I make my way to the counter where a man with silver

hair stands hes probably the worker in this place i should ask him some questions.

-Hello sir do you have a minute

I asked he didnt seem like he was annoyed and turned his head to me

-Boy what you want ?

-I am searching for Luke the blacksmith i was told that he was here

-Yes he was he ordered some leather from our guild for armor he comes here every week but today

there wasnt any so couldnt give him leather

In the way he said it sounded like he had really trouble with it

-Why is everyone so so...

-Depressed ?

-yes

-well the hunt isnt going well in the forest there are enough beasts to hut but lately there is something more

than just that it already killed 2 hunters and when we search for it we cant see it its like we fight a invisible beast

so we cant go and hunt

that explained the atmosphere they seem to be really troubled by it and the opponent seems to have a spell that

lets him go invisible maybe i can do something but first

-where did Luke go then ?

-he something about going himself he left with some other hunters who wanted to challenge the beast again because of

they were made (sigh)

-isnt it dangerous to do so ?

-yes it is and last time 2 people died because of it but we have magic scrolls for teleports here in the guild if they need to

run they can take care of it

-ahh

There is a lot of way to teleport in this world one of the ways i can probably do it is with my ability the void

other than that there items like scrolls or stones that have the magic incarnation writen in them and can

be activated without using mana they are neat items to have and dont need time to be prepared.

I asked the guy on the counter where they left he told me that they left to the south forest the beast seems to be there.

-hey boy what business do you have with him ?

-i was supposed to be his apprentice starting today

-at your age ?

-yeah i get that a lot lately

With that i left the hunters guild.Hearing my conversation albi got an idea what the beast is something like a white

wolf she says it cant go really invisible but can use its environment to make it look alike and seem invisible the fur

is like steel she said.

I didnt worry about it albi was with me and i had a plan i didnt need a weapon just yet so i headed to the south

forest.From the information i got from albi the wolf hunts with his pack its highly intelligent and is a natural

leader for the pack so the wolfs will protect him no matter what.

On the other hand it was hard to find the hunters albi used her ears to locate them she turned into her human

form because she can be a help that way and so we ran.

When we arrived we could see that the hunters were overwhelmed by the wolfs we also could see the silver wolf

in the middle the hunters seemed to be more calm then i thought but for some reason the wolfs wont attack just staring

at the hunters intently both me and Albi used our stealth skill and picked some berrys and rubbed them on us to trick

their noses they didnt notice us that was good.

After some while of watching i could now see now why they couldnt get close the man up front was holding something

like a staff with runes that prevent monsters to come near it generally used in every village town or city but it used

a lot of mana so dont thing that it will last long some of the hunters were ready to use their teleport scrolls

but still didnt move so i decided to make a move.

-Albi i have a plan

Albi listened to my plan my idea was that i would distract the wolfs and in the middle she would kill the leader

Albi had enough strenght to fight the wolf physical and magic in our conversation i found out that albi

could use a lot of spells she even said that she would teach me but right now those spells were needed for other matters

and so we discussed our plan and moved on

Just as the hunters were about to teleport i jumped from the tree and landed on the head of a wolf killing it

the other wolfs looked confused but snapped out of it fast and charged at me with full speed dodging their attacks

wasnt hard but sometimes i would get bruised i took peek at the silver wolf he didnt seem to want to move and

just watched there still were some wolfs with him in the mean time the hunters shouted something like he kid get out

of there i couldnt make out what they were saying so i concentrated on the wolfs Albi was soon close enough to make

a surprise attack and jumped from the bushes and use ice bolts a tier 2 water spell and killed 2 wolfs at once the

silver wolf got startled at that because he couldnt sense her he felt danger coming from that girl he knew.

At that attack some wolf were looking the other way and i used the moment to stab them with a point stick

albi made it for me and told me that it wouldnt do anything if i stab their pelt but their eyes were vulnerable

and so i killed 3 wolfs that way and had another 4 sticks left in mean time i was fighting the hunters slowly joined seeing

me kick their ass Albi had already killed the silver wolfs guardians and was fighting the leader he used his

ability but because albi was a cat she could detect him easily and killed him with a slash from her claws.

The fight ended that way it was pretty boring but the only ones who kept quite were the hunter until one of them spoke

-kid what are you doing here that was dangerous but still i am impressed but your skills and that girl too

They didnt see her claws so it doesnt seem like the will question it right now

-i was told luke the blacksmith was here so i came to make him take me as his apprentice

as i said that a brown haired guy with elf ears came out

-Oh my name is Luke i heard from Lars that you wanted me to take you as a apprentice i must say that you are

really skilled in fighting so i will gladly accept you

he said with a smile i was glad that didnt have to do more to become his apprentice it slowly came to my nerves

rescuing someone for something every time and all of they seem to be nice people at that.

They still were some people in their whos jaws wouldnt go up the only people in here who didnt seem to seen

more then what just happened.

And so everyone picked the dead wolfs i asked if i could take the silver wolf and the rest would get the normal

ones and so all of them agreed one of the hunters skinned the silver wolf and gave me the pelt.

After that we left from the forest and headed to the village i told them that i had things to do and that i would meet

luke a while later he nodded and so i left to get the ores on the way i stored the pelt that was just aquired albi was

still in her human form on the way she didnt talk to anyone beside me they tried to start a conversation

but were straight ignored.

Albi and i were heading to the north forest to go to the cave and get the ore there i could see albis skills

when we started albi used a spell to make the ores part from the stone smoothly it looked really smooth

after that i had a lot of ore i could later work with we were there for 4 hours in the process she used her x ray

eyes and found more ore she used her claws as a pickaxe and was slashing the stone her claws looked

metallic it was cool to watch after 4 hours i stored everything in the void and tried to thing what is inside

532 ????? ore

630 ????? ore

103 ????? ore in total of 46 different types of ore every type over 100 pieces

When i thought about it i could make the difference between the ores but not describe what they were so i

thought that i maybe needed to study more the liblary would have something about it so i didnt thing about it

much this world was full of info for him so he had time to study.

After that i and albi left the cave and got straight to the village it was 2 or 3 i didnt know what time it

was but the headed to the blacksmith only to see Lucy again with a face enraged and Luke smiling wryly

i could guess what happened lucy probably didnt want me here but Luke somehow convinced her and here they are.

-Hello master luke it seems like you heard some things about me from your daughter i apologize

At that luke got a surprised face and said

-no no my daughter was just impolite its my fault for raising her like that you didnt do anything wrong it

was right to search me in smithy

At that Lucys face got even redder and turned away so i asked

-When can i start ?

At those words Lucy ran at me wih full force and gripped my shirt and said

-you are not going to start without my permission father may have accepted you but not me !

She shouted it sounded like she really hated me so asked

-what is this about ?

-you see Damon lucy says that you have to have some kind of understanding in smithing and said that she

wants a test to see if you truly are good enough

At those words i understood she wanted some piece of proof before letting me in

And so i said

-Sure but i hate waiting so lets do it like this i challenge you lucy in smithing a sword the best sword wins

the judge will be Luke so i know whetever he makes a good judge and if i win i am allowed to use the smithy whenever i want

i wont use your materials if i win and will help in the smithy myself

At first Lucy got a dumbfound expression but then a smile of confidence Luke had just a complex face but before he could

speak lucy spoke

-And what if i win well obvious either way

-Thing of something i fine with anything

Lucy thought for a minut and then said with a big smile

-You will be my slave for the rest of your life if i win !

she said but i dint flinch or react to that and just said

-sure the duel will begin now Luke be our judge

Luke wanted a saying in this but he knew that he couldnt talk sense into lucy and just looked at Damon

a thoughtful look and said

-damon can you smith ?

Lucy also looked at Damon she didnt thing of the possibility that h already knew how to smith so she wasnt sure

but she was convinced in her skills and that was enough and so Damon said

-Well shall see

With a big mocking smile
