Chapter 76: Wasteful Class
~CLANG!~ ~CLANG!~ ~CLANG!~
The sounds of hammer striking metal was the only noise that filled the forging hall, as each student stood at their respective forge, sweat beading on their foreheads as they pounded glowing different types of metals with all their strength, shaping the metal for forging.
Adrian stood off to the side with his arms crossed, observing the class with a detached air.
Occasionally, he offered pointers, mimicking the calm guidance of Master Gorran.
"Keep your strikes even.",
"You’re hitting too hard on one side; it’ll warp the blade."
Adrian was tired of wasting his time in such manner. He had mastered the basics of forging long ago and he had also fully grasped the art of enchanting.
Learning enchanting was the only valuable knowledge Adrian gained from this class.
His inventions typically relied on standard metals paired with a magic crystal or mana source to channel energy through mana conduits or advanced runes.
But enchanting opened new possibilities. He could envision crafting metals that were inherently stronger, more resistant to wear, or even capable of conducting mana without external conduits.
The idea of giving his creations intrinsic magical properties; like self-repairing alloys excited him. It could elevate his tech to a whole new level.
