"Is this for real ?" Kai asked as he looked at the screen in front of him with shocked and confused expression.

[If not selected in one minute, The class will be choosen automatically.]

"No." Kai spoke as he immediately clicked on the 'Blacksmith' Class without thinking much.

[Class Selected as 'Blacksmith']

[Your Tutorial is being prepared.]

[Tutorial Conditions have been completed.]

[You will now be transferred to the Trial Area.]

Suddenly, Kai's whole body Disappeared from the apartment and appeared Inside a white space.

"How did I-" Before Kai could've completed his question, Another screen popped up in front of him.

[Your Tutorial Will start Now.]

As soon as this notification popped up, The surroundings around Kai changed and he appeared in another place.

...

"Oi, Kid... Open your eyes." A heavy sound entered inside his ears.

*Blink-Blink*

Kai Opened his eyes and noticed an Old man standing right in front him.

He was small, but muscular, long black beard was covering half of his face and he was holding a hammer in his hands.

As Kai looked around, he noticed an Anvil on the ground, A Furnace on the side and A big hammer was in his hands as well.

"Where am I ?" Kai asked with a confused expression.

"What ? Have you gone crazy ? Aren't you the one, who came to me saying that you want to learn how to craft.

So, Get to it... Pick up the iron ores from their and melt them in the furnace." The Old man spoke as he looked at Kai.

"But-"

"No, Buts. Do whatever you are told to do." The Old man shouted.

"Y-Yes." Kai replied as he immediately picked up an iron bar.

'Fuck, Why is it so heavy ?' Kai thought with a confused expression as he brought the bar to the old man.

"Why are bringing this to me ? I said melt it." The Old man shouted once again.

"B-But the furnace is not burning..." Kai replied.

"Oh my... Is that so ? Well, Is that my problem ? Get a fucking match and light it up." The old spoke asked with an angry expression.

"Y-Yes." Kai spoke as he placed the iron bar on the Anvil and walked upto the table to grab the matches.

He took out one match and threw it into the furnace.

*Bhup*

As soon as the coal inside the furnace started burning, the room's temperature started rising immediately.

Kai's forehead started sweating as he immediately stepped back from the furnace.

"Place the Iron bar into the Furnace kid. You are so slow. Move your hands fast or do you want to waste all the fuel like that ?" The Old man asked as he looked at Kai.

With everything that was going on, Kai understood one thing, 'This is the tutorial...' He thought with a serious expression on his face.

Kai turned Around and immediately placed the Iron bar inside the furnace.

As the furnace's temprature increased... The iron bar started glowing red.

It's shape started changing as it melted slowly.

"What you gonna leave it there for the year ?" The Old man asked with an angry expression.

"S-Should I take it out ?" Kai asked with a confused expression.

"You Idiot... Of course, Take it out." The Old man shouted loudly.

"Y-Yes." Kai immediately picked up the long pair of crucible tongs and grabbed the melted iron bar with it.

He then pulled it out of the furnace and placed it over the anvil.

"I-I have to beat it with the hammer right ?" Kai asked as he looked at the Old man.

"You don't have to beat it, Stupid. You have to give it shape by hammering it. Start with the tip first." The Old man shouted.

"Y-Yes." Kai replied as he started hammering the hot iron.

*Thump-Thump-Thump*

"It will take you years if you continued to strike it like that." The Old man spoke as he looked at Kai.

"What ?" Kai asked with a confused expression as he looked at the Old man.

"Listen kid... Strike Fast and Strike Hard when the Iron is hot. Strike with everything you have." The Old man spoke with a serious expression.

Kai looked at the hot Iron with a determined expression and striked it as hard as he can with full power.

*THUMP-THUMP-THUMP*

....

2 Hours later...

After hammering it from every side and every angle for about two hours, Kai finally achieved a thick rectangular rod of iron.

His whole body was completely drenched in Sweat and hands were trembling from the continuous hammering.

"Good... Give it a shape. Imagine what a sword looks like and give it the shape." The old man spoke.

"What a sword looks like ?" Kai spoke in a low voice as he started to think of a sword.

'A blade with two edges... I have to make it thinner and sharper.' Kai thought as he picked up his hammer once again and started hitting the rod.

*THUMP-THUMP-THUMP-THUMP-THUMP-THUMP*

8 Hours Later...

After continuously hitting the iron for about 8 Hours, Kai obtained a thinner and more sword like structure.

'I see.... So that's how it is.' Kai thought as he continued to stare at his status.

"Oi, Kid... What are you looking at ?" The old man asked with a confused expression.

"Huh ? What ?" Kai asked as he immediately closed the status bar and looked at the old man.

"Do you think that sword is complete ?" The Old man asked with serious expression.

"I-I just need to give it one more strike and-"

*THUMP*

*Break*

As soon as Kai striked on it, the blade broke immediately into two pieces.

"Stupid." The old man spoke with a neutral expression.

"I-It broke..." Kai spoke as he looked at the Old man.

"Again... Melt it again and Start over." The old man spoke.
