Chapter 44 Akash {Second Rank}

Jayden stopped at the door with his son who also frowned wondering who the person was. He wasn't a talent blacksmith like his twin sister by all means he never wants to be a blacksmith at all actually he wants to be a sniper like his mother that's the path he choose and he wants to make spirit tools nothing else matter to him. But since he is forced to sit through his sister training he understands blacksmith very much if someone told him what rank someone he would be able to tell them. 

Jayden didn't enter the forging chamber because he couldn't, even as the President. Nobody was allowed into the chamber when during a blacksmith's ranking test. Entering might falter the blacksmith's concentration, thus resulting in their failure or even casting a shadow on them.

How interesting!

Jayden once again returned to the front desk asked the staff.

"What is the name of the examine in room three?"

The staff, upon his inquiry, checked through the list and answered almost immediately.

"The examine's name is Akash Beaufort. He was recommended here by Grand master Samuel Lewis. He is currently being tested."

As he spoke, he passed Jayden a copy of Akash's forms.

When Samuel's name was mentioned, he smiled.

"I say, who else other than someone recommended from Old Samuel would be able to enter a state of harmonization in the midst of an examination? Ah! Nine years old?"

With an expression of disbelief, he turned his eyes towards the staff.

"Are you sure this isn't a mistake of some sort? This examine is only nine years old?"

The staff confirmed immediately.

"That's right. We had doubts about it previously too. I couldn't believe that a child that young would come for a ranking test."

Jayden was stupefied.

'For a child his age, he must be taking the first rank blacksmith's test?'

"You brat don't tell your sister this."

"Dad why do you think I will tell her?"

"Because you will I know it."

"It was one time dad it was time don't blame me for mom not liking the gift you bought her for your wedding anniversary!" Jackson muttered. Jayden pulled on his son ear.

"You will be lucky if you find someone who would marry you."

Beep beep! Jayden removed the soul communicator from his waist belt and answered the call.

"Daddy, I am finished with my work are you coming to picking me up? I am in room six."

The forging room was once again silent, albeit only for a short time. While the surveyor had her attention on the piece of Heavy Silver, Samuel directed his gaze to Akash's eyes.

In Akash's eyes, Samuel thought he caught a hint of a glimmering silver light that had been emitted from the Heavy Silver. Though the forging process had ended, Akash's focus was still in its initial stage. He believed that the child would one day grow up to become a peerless individual should he stay on the path.

"Heavy Silver. Purification exceeding Hundred Refinements. Volume reduction of seven percent. State of purification – Hundred Refined, three times." The surveyor announced precisely after a careful inspection of the piece of metal.

If the forging was done by a Grand master Blacksmith, getting the Heavy Silver to such a state wouldn't mean much. This forging, however, was done by a mere nine year old child whose body had not even hit puberty yet. It was an incredible feat from this child.

"The evaluation has passed." The surveyor announced, her gaze directed towards Samuel.

Samuel broke into a bitter smile.

"Alan Xserve did this on purpose."

The surveyor was shocked upon hearing Samuel's remarks.

"This kid, he's a disciple of Alan Xserve?"

Samuel nodded his head.

"I couldn't believe it either. But I now confirm that the kid is eligible for the second rank test."

"I see then so what should we do?"

"Kid you will take the next test."

"Yes," Akash said while he grabbed his bandanna he hadn't put on at all when he put on his head he felt a smile on his face and then he looked straight ahead.

The pair of Thousand Refined Tungsten Hammers reappeared, and rhythmic hammering sounded out once again.

The surveyor was about to call out and tell Akash that he could use common metals to pass the test, but was silenced by a glance from Samuel. He wanted to see how well a nine-year-old child could perform this task.

As he hammered the chunk of Heavy Silver again, a surge of happiness filled Akash's heart. Within his heart, he felt as though he was reunited with his friends.

At his endless pounding, the chunk of metal produced a crisp hum, as if in response to his hammering. Akash's hammering speed gradually increased. Under his hammer's pounding, the metal started to change.

With every strike of his hammer, it bounced off the metal even higher. Afterwards, Akash would add even more force into his next strike. The Heavy Silver gradually formed into a circular-shaped medium component, under his constant pounding.

The hammering process that Samuel witnessed was one without any faults, as if every strike had its place and every move was natural. In his eyes, this was the textbook's ideal of forging!

This child's foundation skills were unmatched. Even if he were to be compared with an 18 or 19 year old with an apprenticeship of more than eight years, he would still surpass them by far!

Akash eyes glowed while he made the Heavy Silver his hand gripped on his metal tightly he grinned happily.
