11 Chapter 11
When Alex began training, it was around 10:30, he spent all the time until 13:50 training, and he stopped training for 10 minutes.
Alex:'I can't even feel my legs, my arms are wobble, and my hands are bleeding, but the result is obvious.'
Alex opens his status and checks how the skill improved.

---------------------
While he is on the ground trying to not puke even his soul, Roshi is looking at Alex, in his face, there is only fear.
Roshi:'Am I actually a student and he is the teacher? How can a newbie have such persistence? It's better if I heal him or he won't be able to do his daily job.' He thinks while approaching Alex.
Alex doesn't notice the presence of Roshi until he puts his in front of his chest and light covers him.
In few seconds all the fatigue and pain Alex was feeling, and the injuries in his hands, completely disappeared.
Alex opens his eyes and he sees Roshi getting up from a seated position.
Alex:''Teacher have you healed me?''
Roshi:'' I might not be a Healer, but I know how to remove fatigue and minor injuries.''
Alex:'' Thank you, master, now I should go do my daily job.'' He says while getting up and bowing towards Roshi, after that he uses Lifestyle magic to remove all the dirt and blood from his clothes.
He then walks towards the front of the Guild, while Roshi smirks behind him.
Roshi:'His natural regeneration might have already passed the level 10 mark, I didn't have to put all that mana in the healing because the rest was being done by the body, he is really a monster, AND HE EVEN MASTERED LIFESTYLE MAGIC.'
When he reaches the front of the Guild, there were more people than he expected, even Lisa, was more occupied than usual, so he has to put in the queue and wait for his turn, some of the adventurers are looking at him.
Suddenly one of them begins to shout, not in anger, but just to joke.
Man 1:'' IS THAT THE URG LOVER?''He says while pointing at Alex.
All the other adventurers look at Alex, and some of them were at the Golden Boar, so they know the story.
Man 2:'' OH SHIT THE MAN IS STILL ALIVE.''
Man 3:'' HE EVEN SURVIVED A NIGHT WITH CATHERINE.''
Man 1:'' ALL HAIL THE GREAT NUT'S BUSTER, THE ONE, AND ONLY URG LOVER.''
Everyone began laughing, even the travelers, that were inside, while Alex only wanted to fall into a deep hole and never be found again.
The title Nut's Buster might be a useful title but fuck if it's embarrassing and now he might also unlock the new title of Urg lover.
When the thought crossed his mind he immediately opened his status and checked.
Alex:'FUUUUUUUUUCK.'

---------------------
Alex's turn finally arrives.
Alex:''Not one word.''
Lisa:''Fine by me...Almighty Nut's buster.''
Alex:''I am going to cry.''
Lisa:'' Well anyway, today your possible daily jobs are the same as yesterday plus a job at the blacksmithing section, they will pay you based on your helpfulness and they said they had a reward for you, the bones of the Black Bertha were then stronger than steel.''
Alex:'' This time I will go to the blacksmithing section, I have enough...rewards from just one hunt with the group.''
Lisa:'' Perfect, then go to that door and ask for Morgon.''
Alex:''Thank you, and please don't call Nut's Buster.''
Lisa:''Fine... Urg Lover.''
Alex grunts, and goes to the door that Lisa indicated.
The emanating from the room is so high that even from outside he is sweating.
Alex:'Oh no, well at least this will increase my heat resistance.' He thinks while regretting his decision.
He opens the door and a wave of heat hits him. causing his eyes to close.
When he can open them again, he sees at least 20 people constantly hitting something or sharpening weapons, most of the ones inside were humans, but some of them are way smaller and bulkier to possibly be humans, they seem like dwarfs.
Alex sees on the side of the room a dwarf holding a dagger, cleaning it with oil and a piece of leather.
Alex approaches him when suddenly the dwarf raises the dagger and points him at Alex.
Dwarf: "Who are you, whatcha doing here?"'
Alex:''Wow, calm down, I am here for my daily job I am searching Morgen.''
Dwarf:'' Keh, It's me, you must be Alex, come here I will teach you.''
Alex follows Morgen, he leads him to a free forge, with an anvil, a tank of oil to clean the weapon, and a grindstone, a tong, and a hammer.
Morgen:''First, turn on the furnace, you can use whatever method you want.''
Alex creates a small flame on his hand he fuels it with mana, when the fire is bigger than a tennis ball he slowly puts it inside the heater of the furnace.
The furnace began to heat.
Morgen:'' Don't do anything, fills the heater with coal before it empties.''
Alex listens to him and fills the heater, but he didn't put too much because it could cause the incapability of oxygen entering inside.
Morgen then throws at Alex a piece of what looks like iron.
Morgen:'' Today we are going to produce a sword, it surely will be a crappy sword, but better than nothing.''
Alex then follows Morgen's instructions and leaves the piece of iron to heat up.
When it begins to almost melt, he uses the tong to remove the iron from the furnace and to the anvil.
He then uses the hammer to stretch it and trying to shape it into a sword.
He had to repeat this process 5 times before he finally was able to shape it in a long sword blade.
Morgen:'' Now leave cool down the sword in the oil by using the tong, wait 30 seconds or until the smoke stops coming out, and then choose a guard, a pommel, and a grip for your sword.''
Morgen then opens a book with images of all the types of guards, grips, and pommels.
For the guard, he chooses a straight one with curves at the end, so that he protect his hand from sword attacks, for the grip he chooses a normal leather grip since there wasn't much of a choice, lastly, the pommel he chooses is a diamond-shaped one so that in case he uses the pommel to attack the damage won't be lethal but the guy surely won't be able to walk for some time if hit in the head.
Then Morgen assembles all the pieces in few seconds, he then grabs the sword blade from the tank of oil with his bare hands, and he assembles the sword.
Alex:'H-How?''
Morgen:''Keh, when you have are strong as me such low temperatures won't do anything to you.''
He then gives the sword to Alex to sharpen it by using the grindstone.
He uses the handle and begins to rotate it.
When the speed is high enough he puts the side of the blade of the grindstone and lets it do the work, every 2 minutes he switches sides.
After 10 minutes he stops sharpening the weapon, any more than that and the weapon would break.
Morgan:'' Not bad for a newcomer, if I didn't know you were a Traveler that arrived only from 4 days I would have thought you had a teacher.''
Alex:' But I have a teacher, more than one actually, they are called books, games, and documentaries.'
Alex takes the sword from the handle and he swings around, controlling the balance, and stability of the weapon.
Morgen:''Perfect, you have just created your first sword, it isn't actually perfect, its value is around 50 coppers, but it isn't the only reward you will receive, for the rest of your shift you will help me.''
And just like that Alex became Morgen's servant, he had to help Morgen with every little detail in creating weapons, but thanks to helping him he also saw how to create different weapons, from swords, rapiers, and gladius to morningstars, and double-sided spears.
After more than 5 hours he was finally freed from Morgen's torture and from the heat of that room.
Morgen leads Alex outside the room so that he could relax, and breathe some fresh air.
The moment Alex is outside he falls to the ground due to the temperature difference.
He sits to the ground and opens his status.

<Skills>
Secondary skills:
Basic Blacksmithing Lv.21
You know how to create something different from a rod, good job, you can create different types of basic weapons with no secondary effect, when blacksmithing you gain a minimal bonus in Dexterity, Strenght, Vitality, and Concentration.
----------------------
His Basic Heat resistance had also reached level 31, he immediately felt the change when he got outside, before the 5 hours the heat that could be felt from outside was making him sweat but now it felt like normal air.
Morgen:'' Damn kid, you are surely better than normal, in a day you grasped all of the basics, good job, now let me give you your reward.''
Morgen goes back inside the room, when he gets back outside he has in his hands are a long sword with a scabbard that could be attached to his belt, a halberd, and a wood short bow, and a quiver with 20 arrows, and lastly a pocket dimension, from the look of it, is a basic one.
Alex:''What? I expected a small reward but isn't this a bit too much?''
Morgen:'' You are joking right? The bones and claws of the Black Bertha were so strong that steel was easily cut apart from it, I personally decide to use some of those bones to make for you a sword and a halberd, and 5 of arrows' heads are made with the claws of it, and the runes on the scabbard and the pocket dimension were instead a reward from Morgana, I don't know why she just said you deserved it.''
Alex:'' What are the functions of the runes?'' He says while taking all of the rewards and putting them on the pocket dimension, apart from the sword.
Morgen:'' The scabbard has a very useful function, when the sword is left inside the scabbard, it will begin to repair itself by using your mana, the higher the damage the longer it will take.''
Alex takes the sword outside of the scabbard, the blade has a white, silver-like color, the grip feels perfect for his hand, the guard perfectly protects the hand, and the pommel is diamond-shaped.
Morgen:'' Try it.'' He says while throwing a piece of an unknown metal at Alex.
Alex swings the sword, and the sword easily cuts through the piece of metal.
There is no damage on the sword, instead, the piece of metal is cut in two as if a hot knife cut through butter.
Alex smiles, even more, he then puts the sword back on its scabbard.
Alex:'' Thank you very much, I will treat it as a treasure.''
Morgen:'' As you should, if I hear from someone that you broke it out of a fight I am going to bast your head with a hammer.
They continued chatting until someone interrupted them.
???:'' OOOOY ALEX.''
Alex turns towards the voice.
He sees Ludwig with the rest of the group, apart from Catherine
Ludwig:''We are going to go to the Golden Boar, Catherine, and Urg asked us to come to get you.''
Alex:'' Do I have a choice?''
Ludwig:''No.''
Alex:'' Wil I get drunk again?''
Lin/Gin:''FUCK YEAH.''
