Hide and Seek

Ed believed in equal opportunities for all but when it came to rewards… it would be unfair to only meet the rewarded person halfway. Thus, Ed made no exception and kicked out anyone who was unwilling to leave after hearing Uggug.

From there, Ed gave Uggug his private lesson on smithing. As he had already gone over the basics and even explained some metals he would be giving them, Ed ended up teaching Uggug about handling the Ignite metal in particular.

"As the metal is naturally resistant to heat it is very important to increase the temperature of the forge…" Ed's explanation had some overlaps with his previous lesson but it couldn't be helped.

His craftsmanship level was not anywhere near high enough to teach anything more advanced. The lesson proceeded smoothly all the same however and Uggug was able to learn just about enough so that in the future he could turn his spear axe into an actual halberd.
