Chapter 46: Troublesome dude

In the end, Terry was surprised to see the final product after just a couple of hours... he saw that the material didn't need much time to rest during the process of forging, but he still was surprised.

"This was fast, and this isn't half bad," Terry said while nodding in satisfaction. "Still, I can't understand how the metal needed so little time to rest during the forging process."

"I can explain it, sir," A semi-grayhaired man said after he stepped forward. "The rare material exhibited extraordinary malleability, meaning it could be shaped and molded with relative ease. Its molecular structure allowed it to be manipulated quickly, reducing the time required for forging and refining. We could swiftly shape the material into the desired form, expediting the weapon-making process. Also, the rare material boasted an unusually high melting point, allowing it to withstand intense heat without losing its integrity. This enabled the blacksmiths to work at higher temperatures, accelerating the forging process. The material could be rapidly heated and cooled without compromising its structural strength, expediting the cooling and tempering stages."

"I see... what is your name?" Terry asked, visibly satisfied. "I guess Vanessa was being cautious with these materials since she didn't know how many she could get."

The kid stands at an average height, and he has a youthful frame exuding an energetic and lively aura. His face was characterized by soft features that held a touch of mischief. His hazel eyes, with their warm and expressive gaze, seem to sparkle with a combination of curiosity and enthusiasm.

Terry could tell that he wouldn't get along with the kid... he seemed a bit too naive, and he didn't look like he came from a similar background as Terry and Rebecca.

"Sorry, Terry," Rebecca said after she sighed. "I told this moron not to bother you, but it seemed that he needs to be disciplined a bit more."

"It is fine," Terry said once he recalled that he needed to interact more with his guild members. "I am not planning on doing anything special tonight; I will only kill the enemies from a distance. Thus, there won't be any excitement waiting for you here."

"It is fine, sir," The kid said. "I just want to see you fighting up close. My name is Juan, by the way."

Terry could only think that there was something wrong with the kid, it seemed that Juan admired him a bit, and that definitely was bad since Terry didn't even admire himself... he tends to focus on satisfying his goal and ego instead of helping others and cooperating with them, even though that was without a doubt, the best option.

"Alright... you can stay here for a couple of hours," Terry said. "You will need to return to your usual working time tomorrow, and that isn't negotiable."

"Yes sir," Juan said and then saluted.

Rebecca left while shrugging, already imagining that things would get noisy in the area. Still, in the end, Terry just made the kid stay in the front line while he used Icicle Bow to kill the enemies from a distance. It didn't take long for him to see why Juan had that attitude. The kid had a very unusual trait that made even that troublesome type of monster have a hard time dealing with him...

Terry recalled reading the documents that Rebecca had prepared about their elite group and was surprised to recall that the kid only awakened his trait after ten runs in the portal.
