Chapter 45 {Aren't You Now Showing Off}

When Akash walked out of the forging room, his face was painted with joy. It wasn't because of the recognition from both masters, nor was it because he had risen up to a second rank blacksmith. Rather, he was euphoric from the sum of 10,000 federation coins he received from the Heavy Silver component he had forged.

One can actually make such a huge fortune from forging rare metals!

Samuel had informed him, prior to his exit, to report back again to the Blacksmith Association in two-days time to receive his blacksmith's badge, and to start receiving jobs from the Association.

"Alan," Samuel said while he stared at the holograph screen in front of him.

"Yes."

"Aren't you now showing off? You sent your disciple here knowing damn well I won't turn him down not only that where did you find this gem? How about this I will help you and you can..."

"What are you asking giving up my disciple oh my dear Samuel I just wanted to rub into your face that I raised a talent disciple what do you think did he pass the test?"

Samuel sighed.

"Yes! Now explain to me why you didn't tell me! When I came to see you, never once have you spoken about your disciple oh my gosh I want to beat you up!" Samuel shouted.

"Hehe just wantin to show off," Alan said and he hanged up.

Hanged up.

Samuel called Alan again.

Beep.

Beep.

Beep.

Samuel held on the metal stick Louis device and it broke in half.

On the other side Alan smiled.

"Sam must angry dare you try to take away my disciple I won't allow it," Alan muttered while he licked his lips and he grabbed the grilled fish that was cooking.

Akash was, however, clueless of the impact his outstanding ability had on the others, and he was on his way back to the Academy.

"Take it," Akash said while he had three 10,000 federation coins.

"Are you trying to ran away from the match."

"No what I promise I will do as for the money I am just paying it back," Akash said coldly he didn't like Sebastian much so he just wanted to stay away from him as much as he could.

"I couldn't pay up previously because I did not have any coins. Since I ruined most of the property, I don't think you should be paying for all of it. Here is 10,000 federation coins. I will pay you back the other 10,000 federation coins when I have them. I am a man of my words, and since I have accepted your offer, I will be there tomorrow after school. You can set the location."

Akash left the bunch of coins next to Sebastian and headed for his bed after stating his intentions.

Noah and Elijah exchanged a glance as they observed the exchange from the top bunks. Ever since his defeat against Akash in the steamed bun eating contest, Noah's attitude towards Akash had changed. Akash, on the other hand, was curious about how Akash managed to produce the 10,000 federation coins. It seemed impossible for him to get such huge sum within this short span of time.

Akash entered a meditative state easily after moving into his cross-legged posture on his bed. In fact, today was his first time using his martial soul in battle. He didn't have any experience in these matters and this was even the first true battle he had been in.

Sebastian sat down on the bed and he stared at Akash for a long time is his martial spirit really a Lyu Grass a useless trash martial spirit and his warrior spirit is weak as so it seems like it was only luck he didn't see anything coming at all.

Dawn

Both pairs of eyes locked for a few moments. Serbian's gaze was frosty, whereas Akash had a look of indifference. Shortly after, Akash broke his gaze and headed for the shower.

In his opinion, Sebastian was just another wealthy city kid; he gave off an image of bossiness, assertiveness, and insolence. Akash would rather make friends with Noah than the rich city kid.

After finishing his morning shower, there was nothing else to stop him from the most important activity of all, meal time.

However, Akash was unaware that his previous challenge in steamed-bun-eating had earned him the nickname of "Gluttony King", even though he hadn't even started his journey in the academy.

As he woke up earlier that others, he was greeted with an empty dining hall. Within the hall were the same three windows. Breakfast was, like previous meals, categorized into three categories. Akash naturally headed for the third window, which provided free food.

Breakfast was a spread of milk, eggs, sausages, bread, and vegetables.

Akash helped himself and piled up a pyramid's worth of food on his plate before leaving for an empty table at the corner to devour his food.

The dining hall's chef recognized Akash for his record-breaking appetite and was worried that the child's stomach could not take up all the food. But he now knew that the child was doing fine when he caught view of Akash's actions through the window.
