5 Wooden Weapon

Damon woke up and after eating a light breakfast, then started working on making a weapon. He was tempted to use the axe he had borrowed but it didn't suit the style he was going for. He was not going to ruin long-term goals for short-term gains.

'I will need to master all sort of weapons and make them, each one has its own advantages... For now, I will craft a wooden sword. I have to make my own weapons and armor.' He thought as he decided to call his magic Smith Magic in the future if anyone asked. He did not want to gather unwanted attention.

He looked down at the branch with a smile, 'I know exactly what to make...'

He worked till night without rest but it wasn't easy at all. He had to enchant his knife so that it became sharper and better for cutting and shaping wood. Still, it was not enough and it took him the next day as well.

He collapsed on the chair, sweat covering his body but he had a satisfied smile as he looked at the finished work; A perfect copy of Ichigo's Zangetsu in Shikai but a wooden version laid on the table. (For those who don't know how it looks like, check paragraph comment.)

'A broadsword is gonna have more surface to craft runes and symbols, it is much better. I can also later carve out the surface layer and upgrade it and eventually turn it into its Bankai version in wood with super-strong enchants. Since it is wood, It doesn't weigh much so the size doesn't matter much. Now the Enchants...'

He had already carved them onto it.

He closed his eyes and focused on what he wanted as magic flowed to the wooden sword.

"Alter Enchant, Damage, level 1." On the left surface of the wooden blade. This gave it greater damage and since it wasn't sharp, it was going to break bones and etc.

"Alter Enchant, Durability, Level 1." On the other side of the wooden blade. To make it as hard as steel despite being made of wood.

"Alter Enchant, Self-Repair, Level 1." On the handle part. In case it was damaged in battle, it would repair itself using Damon's magic power.

"Alter Enchant, Control, Level 1." On a white bandage that covered the handle part, he had used the bandages to complete the look and make holding the wooden sword more comfortable. This enchant was unique, the bandages would make the sword automatically stick to his back when he didn't need it and they would never let go of the sword. He could also recall the bandages and they would drag the wooden sword back to him like Thor's hammer.

'If I add a gravity enchant, I can use it just like Mjolnir... I need to learn more and get stronger in magic power for that though...' He thought as he observed his masterpiece with pride.

Of course, just a reminder, these all worked only under a condition, Damon using his magic power to fuel the Enchantments for their purpose. With the weapon added to the previous items, he could sustain at most for 10 minutes before his magic ran out. He knew that fact as well.

He took a deep breath and picked up the wooden Zangetsu, 'It's a bit heavier than I expected!' He thought as he swung it a bit. He nodded in satisfaction, 'This feels really good and balanced. It looks gorgeous! How would it feel if I craft something like the original? I can't even imagine it...'

He fell in love with his sword, he felt a similar rush as he moved his magic power to the sword, the runes and symbols lit up on the wooden sword which caused it to look really magical and amazing. He couldn't help but gasp in awe at the sight.

He slowly inspected the sword and grinned then let go of the sword, it fell to the ground with a heavy thud. He, however, didn't care. He activated the 'Control' Enchant and the Bandages dragged the handle part of the sword to his hand. He grabbed the sword again with wide eyes, 'It really works! I don't need to necessarily touch something for my magic to work!'

He put it on his back and the bandages wrapped around his shoulder and back which held the sword on his back perfectly. He moved forward and backward then sat on a chair, 'Moving is okay, the only problem is when sitting, I can't lean on anything.'

He left the house, it was nighttime but he didn't care. He moved near the forest and found a tree. He took out his sword and began training by hitting the trunk with his magic flowing to the sword. He wanted to get used to swinging it and his enhanced strength from the wooden bracelets.

With each hit, the trunk cracked as the wooden sword did considerable damage to the tree...

An hour later, he returned to his house. The tree was no more, the middle of its trunk was cut due to the countless strikes of Damon and thus it had been cut in half. There were other trees as well, he had cut a handful...

He was very tired and covered in sweat, he quickly went to sleep.

The next day morning, a red-haired girl wearing armor approached the spot, behind her was a nervous old woman, "Is it here?"

The old woman nodded, "Yes, bizarre sounds of wood hitting wood and trees falling came from here, I think a monster has come here..." She seemed very scared.

The girl crouched as she observed one of the trees with interest, "What a strange monster, this was not cut by something sharp, more like a blunt edge. How brutal... It needs considerable strength."

She stood up and observed the surroundings for footprints but didn't find any, she frowned, "How strange..."

The old woman asked her, "Miss Scarlet, what should I do? I can't sleep in peace knowing a monster is around here... My grandson wanders these woods sometimes!"

The girl replied confidently, "The protection of Magnolia is Fairy Tail's responsibility. Don't worry, I will find this monster and slay it. As a Wizard of Fairy Tail, I promise you."

The old woman sighed in relief, "Thank you, I appreciate it. I will return then, good luck."

The girl curtly nodded as the woman left, she observed the tree again, "It will come back here again, I will wait in hiding till it returns."

Meanwhile, Damon checked his pocket and realized he was out of money again. 'I eat too much...' he sighed.

'I will train again today and then pick a job at noon, something with combat and close by. It's time. I am ready.' He decided and left the house. Wooden Zangetsu on his back...
