Forging another sword

Everyone in the arena was shocked, Kun Soo-Hyun who sounded so heroic and upright was instantly killed when Bae decided to attack. Within a minute of silence they all regained their spirits and cheered for Bae, nobody pitied Kun Soo-Hyun for his death because he creates it himself when he provoked an enemy too powerful for him.

After having digested the energy that he got, he went down the stage and walked in direction of the referee. The referee saw him, and with a big smiles spoke.

"Well done, I would love to see more match with you in. That was grandiose ! The demeanor of a champion !"

"Thanks you" replied Bae nonchalantly while receiving his rewards.

Following this he returned in the tavern he lived, with the disturbance he caused today, no way that he could sell his elite nail peacefully. The tavern was always the same with people drinking and laughing, after a simple meal he decided to return to the blacksmith because he can't wait to train his blacksmith rank to 2*.

Upon entering the shop, he saw that Old Son wasn't here. He know that he surely left to buy material or other important things, and if he didn't left for more than one day he would have closed the door.

Instead of waiting he started to train his skill in forging. The first step, melting ore. It's the step that he didn't master yet, if he can melt an ore to have 75% purity and if he can use it well in the other step it will create a Mid-Grade Steel Weapon. Same for an High-Grade but the purity have to be 100%. To have a Low-Grade you only need to be above 30%.

Without knowing, it's been several hours that he try to melt ore and Old Son returned. He saw his disciple training diligently and smiled kindly, he didn't interrupt him and sit on his chair.

At the end, Bae created a sword with 60% purity. In a market or something else that sell sword, it's called a Peak Low-Grade Steel sword, a bit heavier and sharper than the old one Bae possessed. Old son observed the processes and started to clap his hand while talking.

"Not bad, not bad, I didn't expect that you could create a sword of this quality so early. Take this it's my gift for your win in the arena." At the end he threw a pure black ring in the hands of Bae.

"Just drop a drop of blood on it and it will recognize you at his owner."

Bae does exactly what Old Son said and he sensed a connection that he established with the ring. He bowed simply and thanked Old Son who just waved his hand replying that it was nothing. Bae didn't expect that it's master was so rich that he could offer a Spatial ring like this. A spatial ring is a magical object that store what you send in. It's a different space where time didn't exist. The spacial ring that Old Son offered him have a space of 5 cubic meter and can easily sell for platinum coin !

"Oh I almost forgot what I wanted to say, tonight the village organize an auction, you can sell your elite nail here. It's better than to sell it at the adventurer guilds" The more Bae listened the more he was depressed, he risked his life at the adventurer guilds only to be told that it was better to sold it somewhere else.

While going out to goes to the auction he turned around bowed and replied.

"Thanks you master for your advice." Old Son nodded and didn't reply.

After asking where the auction will take place he rushed there. Upon arriving he saw a place bustling with people entering a large buildings. Bae waits for his turn and payed 10 bronze reluctantly when it was his. He directly goes to the section where you sell your items. A middle aged man received him and asked what he would want to sell.

"Hello, I would like to have a special room, I don't want to be recognized sir." replied Bae.

The middle aged man accepted quickly and bring him in a closed space where special trade takes place. He was asked to sit and to wait the appraiser.

He didn't wait for long when an old man entered the room. He bowed simply and asked what he would want to sell. Bae didn't wait more and take out his elite nail. The old man eye shined upon seeing what it was and asked to wait five minute the time to appraise it's quality.

"You sure have good luck young man, it's a perfect elite nail. Could you tell me where do you have got it?" asked the old man.

"No problem, thanks you for your appraisal, I got it when I hunted in the forest last week. For how much can it sell at the auction tonight ?" replied Bae calmly.

"Oho, I don't want to tell a false price but it can easily go for tens of gold coin."

When he heard gold coin, Bae's eye opened wide and asked the old man with a poker face to sell it. After this he directly got a seat in the auction waiting his start.

Without waiting for long, a young miss not older than 16 arrived in stage and with a cute voice asked the public to stop talking. Everyone stopped and observed her.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the monthly Chester Auction, I'm named Yong Yi-Jae and I will accompany you this night. Let's start in good spirits and welcome the first objects we got."
