"Don't underestimate the advantage of being able to create weapons. It won't be as useful as having a skill that allows you to kill super-powerful creatures in one blow, or a skill that allows you to create a swarm of meteors... But that doesn't mean that swords or armour are only useful for aesthetic sense. Skills and magic are affected by many things, and the most important ones are there: The person, the catalyst and experience."
"In what sense?..."
"The more powerful the person using it, the stronger they will be, the same goes for the other two. Imagine a super-skilled person striking a piece of bamboo with full force with a wooden sword, the bamboo will break but the cut will be inaccurate and the force will be misapplied to the plant... Now imagine if instead of the wooden sword he had a sword of the best material in the world, would the result be the same?"
"Of course not... "
"That's right, the same thing happens with skills or magics. Of course they might be strong already, but they would certainly show much more power if all three conditions I told you before would be at 'maximum' wouldn't they?"
A shiver ran down Nemesis' spine, realising the importance of the equipment.
"Besides, if you're going to be building your own weapons yourself, not only could you create weapons and armour that are useful to you, but you could create them that help you where you have deficiencies. Of course you can always commission equipment from a blacksmith, but if you're the one making it yourself it will be much more targeted to your needs, don't you think?"
"YES."
"Are you ready to learn then?"
"YES!!!"
"Then! The post on the right is yours, while the one on the left is mine, now watch carefully how I make a very simple sword alright?"
Emeneo took a big breath and as if isolated from the world his gaze became unbelievably serious, and taking a piece of iron he threw it into the forge, once it turned red he pulled it out with the help of pliers and placed it on the anvil, grabbing the hammer he began to strike the glowing piece of metal, making the sound of the hammer's clinking echo throughout the house.
Emeneo continued to repeat the same process several times, until he had created the shape he desired.
"Now the blade must be sharpened.
Moving to the grindstone he began to give the 'edge' to the sword, once this process was also completed he turned to Nemesis.
"The next step is very important."
Heating the iron in the forge again he placed it inside the barrel filled with water, creating a wave of steam.
"You have to do this process several times in order to harden the metal, and make it flexible at the same time. If you don't do this, the blade might break after a few blows and would stay sharp for much less time."
"Alright..."
Having dipped it several times inside the water he observed it carefully and then handed it to Nemesis.

"And that's how you create a sword!"
"Hmm... I expected it to be easier.... And especially faster..."
To make the sword in front of him had taken six hours, a very quick time for any blacksmith, but nevertheless Nemesis was disappointed.
"Creating a sword is an art. You can't create art in a matter of minutes."
"I see..."
"Come on come on!!! Now it's your turn!"

"..."
"What did you expect to succeed from the first moment?!"
"Yes..."
"Eheh... Not as easy as it looks huh?"
"No..."
His arms hurt like hell and it had taken him two whole days to obtain this sword, he had only had time to eat and sleep.
Of course even if he had failed, the benefits were many.

Putting a hard strain on his body, his stats had increased.
"How about taking a breath of air before making another attempt?"
"Alright."
As soon as they left the dwelling, the sun dazzled Nemesis, who, accustomed to the darkness of the forge, covered his eyes with one hand.
"It's such a nice day today, they're rare on this floor, most of the time it's always raining or cloudy...."
"Really? I have always had good weather since I got here."
"You must be the one who brought the sun then!"
Smiling, she patted him on the back, then sent him back into the forge.
"Come on, let the hammer miss you!"
"Sigh... Yes..."
Although he was happy to improve his body, get better stats and be able to learn how to forge weapons, he was sad because he wanted to be able to climb the tower as soon as possible to get to Kelley.
'Sorry Kelley... But I'll have to make you wait for a while.... After all, weak as I am, I could never get there right away...'
Nemesis re-entered the house.
"This time I will succeed in creating a usable sword!"
