Late at afternoon Kai was suprised when got the news that the academy has rejected Dazzling's proposal for their small match, this was really unusual because the academy usually support these kind of small personal matches then why they rejected their proposal.
But Kai soon realised that it might be related to his martial soul mutation, after all appearance of a new top tier martial soul is not a small matter, Although it is not so easy to recognise a martial soul's tier by just looks but if Kai fights against dazzling then they might get suspicious.
It is important to note that dazzlings are not just normal kids, they are direct descendants of top clans and one of them even have impirial blood, it too easy for these clans to dig deeper into the matter so it is the right decision to hide this information until they find any countermeasure.
`But dazzlings might not be in any good mood right now` Kai thought with amusement.

In a wooden house in a very beautiful Valley above a mountain, two old men are having a discussion.
One of them is very tall and have big muscles which seems completely irrelevant to his calm eyes. He has white hairs and a beard which shows his old age.
The other man is also very tall although not as tall and muscular as the previous guy but he have a fit body, he has white hairs and clean shave.
As they were having a discussion they felt someone's arrival, it is a middle age man in a leather armor, he asked for the permission to enter.
The beard man nodded in response, the armored man bow before them, then he look towards t bearded man, "Elder Bali, I have just got the news from a messenger regarding his highness the crown prince, vice principal jackson has handle the matter for now but this secret can't be hide for long, She asked if the prince should be sent here".
Elder Bali thought for a moment then reply "tell Vice principal jackson to keep the matter secret for few more days until we send someone to protect the crown prince".

Next day after classes.
Kai have finally decided to join the blacksmith department so he went with Tony who has already became a member of blacksmith department to the department's building.
Head of every department is a teacher excel in that field but registration process is handle by senior students who are in charge of department, and the current incharge of their blacksmith department is the star of fifth grade Sirius Stardust.
Stardust family also known as Star Hammer Clan is Surya Empire's number one blacksmith Clan with best forging techniques and Sirius is a prodigy with great talent in both cultivation and forging.
Sirius has very neet and tidy appearance, his hair is common black colour but his eyes are silverish grey colour, it is a common eye colour for the wielders of silver star hammer martial soul.
When Kai and Tony reached the registration office Sirius was there so he naturally take the work but before registration Kai need to take forging test.
For entering the blacksmith department it is required for the person to be at least able to do grade one forging, otherwise they can't be admitted to the department.
Kai was able to do grade one forging since more than a year but was never able to get upto grade 2 partly because of lack of physical strength and also because of the incident that happened half a year ago, since than Kai was unable to do regular pratice.
Now he has enough physical strength and he has also fully grasp the concept, but just didn't got a chance to try the grade 2 forging , now he can give it a shot.
As they were heading toward the forging room Sirius told them rules of the test which was very simple is to forge a basic metal into grade 1 of course if Kai fails and the metal got damage then he will have to pay for the metal.
Here students get benefits according to their abilities, a grade one blacksmith have to pay for using the forging table, while grade two blacksmith can use the table free of cost for an alloted time, of course if they want use the table for more time they have to pay for it.
Tony is already at the peak of grade two forging and he is able to become grade 3 blacksmith before the age of twelve he will be regarded as a heaven define genius. It has only been few days since Tony joined the department but all the students who has saw his test knows how good his forging skills are.
Sirius lead them to a big hall with several forging tables, few students are still eighter praticing or forging weapons. Blacksmith is a good profession for making money as many high level as well as low level soul wielders uses weapons, armor or other forged equipments.
Sirius lead them to one of the forging tables and gave Kai a low grade grey colour peice of metal "I have already told you the rules, you just need to forge this metal", Sirius said as he indicate Kai to start.
Kai took a deep breath and his eyes become completely focus, he started to heat the metal as the information that he has read regarding this metal flashes in his mind. Cave metal a highly use and common metal, it is good in toughness but is sensible to fire.
As a fire sensible metal Kai can't heat it for long, so he became to forge with his pure black forging hammers, they are the hammers he got as a present from his father when he for the first time did grade one forging.
He pulled the metal out from the furnace and set it on the forging table and started hammering it with his black hammers, his hammering has a unique rhythm as he hit the metal with his hammers sound like a wind whisle can be heard.
