Danmachi: I have a Simulator!

After several rounds of calcination and forging, Tsubaki had beaten the straight sword into a complete shape.

During this process, the metal bar was also constantly beating, and a lot of debris fell out, which looked completely different from the rest. It was the impurities inside the metal.

At this point, most of the forging work had been completed.

After the straight sword cooled down, Tsubaki continued to polish it. However, Tsubaki did not do too much since this was just an ordinary straight sword used to demonstrate Yami. For decoration, the semi-finished product was thrown into the calciner after roughly a procedure.

"So far, the general forging process has been completed, only the final quenching is required, and the forging is considered complete!"

While speaking, the straight sword was burnt bright red again.

Tsubaki picked it up and threw it into the quenching tank. When the red hot straight sword met the quenching liquid, a large mist immediately evaporated.

Yami smelled this smell and frowned subconsciously.

This kind of mist couldn't be said to be smelly, but it was completely indescribable, at least not the type normal people could accept, and the experience was not wonderful.

When the "sizzling" sound of the quenching liquid completely disappeared, the final step of forging was also completely completed.

Next, she only needed to clean the finished product, unpack it, and attach a hilt. Then put the weapon in the weapon shop for sale.

"How is it? How much did you learn?"

Hearing Tsubaki's question, Yami didn't respond in a hurry. His eyes were completely fixed on the sword shining coldly in her hand, and a strange emotion arose in his heart.

The forging steps not considered cumbersome just now echoed clearly in his mind.

"Captain, is the process of making a staff similar to this?"

"Of course not. Magical stones are needed for the magic staff. That kind of making method is not something beginners can master. It would be better if you didn't aim too high. First, learn the forging method of this common equipment on a down-to-earth basis. If your talent and comprehension are good, I will teach you more advanced forging methods in the future."

Tsubaki did not dispel Yami's confidence and directly handed over the hammer.

"My presentation is over. Are you confident to give it a try?"

"I have memorized the steps. As for whether it will be successful, we will not know until I try it."

Yami's face showed strong confidence. He didn't know whether he was talented in forging and needed to try further to know.

"Then I'll watch you perform!"

After hearing Yami's words, Tsubaki just smiled, and after handing him the hammer in his hand, she walked aside to watch.

The latter was naturally not polite either. He reached out and took off his shirt, revealing his muscular muscles immediately.

This scenery also made Tsubaki's eyes shine.

Walking into the forging area, Yami recalled Tsubaki's previous actions, then picked up a slightly shorter strip of a metal ingot with a clip and put it into the calciner.

Compared with Tsubaki's physical fitness, he was still far behind.

Yami was not prepared to build large-scale equipment for the first attempt. Compared with Tsubaki's easy and freehand creation of a straight sword, he was not confident that he could control the flame's temperature.

'Let's be realistic and make a slightly smaller weapon first! For example, daggers and the like, among ordinary weapons, slightly smaller weapons will be easier to forge, provided that there are no more complicated crafts in them.'

Next, Yami completely copied Tsubaki's forging process just now.

Although in the eyes of the latter, there were still a lot of flaws in his skills, whether it was the method of forging force or the time of calcination, there were subtle problems, but for beginners, it was already very good.

At least she wasn't so powerful back then.

After joining the Hephaestus familia, the Goddess Hephaestus taught Tsubaki about forging. She also studied for a long time before becoming the current forging master.

There was also the development ability that made her so powerful.

And Yami restored this level with just a simple demonstration. At least his talent in forging was absolutely beyond doubt.

Maybe, soon, there will be another excellent blacksmith in the Hephaestus familia.

"Zizizi!!!"

With the end of quenching, Yami successfully assembled the dagger and threw it into the ash for cooling.

Looking at the first weapon he made with his hands, he couldn't suppress the sense of accomplishment no matter what until he heard footsteps beside him, bringing him back to his senses.

"Captain, I'm done!"

"Good job," Tsubaki praised softly, then reached out and picked up the dagger made by Yami from the pile of plant ash, wiped it clean with sackcloth beside it, and observed it carefully.

The appearance was smooth and bright, the hardness was moderate, and the quality was good. It was already a qualified dagger.

"Honestly, I'm really surprised you could do this step. You are simply a born blacksmith!"

"Really?"

Hearing Tsubaki's comments, Yami himself felt a little embarrassed.

He was now beginning to doubt whether the forging talent that was brushed out through the simulation at the beginning had been manifested. Otherwise, how could he become so good at smithing?
