Chapter 2320: Final Round of Weapon Making
Everything is happening so fast.
The opponent is moving at a speed that he could possibly muster. He has never been faster
that he is at the moment. And for some reason, even though he knew everything is fast, he felt like all of it is happening very slowly.
He could see every minute change in his surroundings.
Maybe it is the shiver in his spine or the racing beat of his heart that are happening for reasons unknown.
He could see everything clearly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, even if he could see, he could feel it and sense it, he was unable to gain any confidence.
He stopped his advance to the side as soon as the shadow appeared, the dagger moved towards his eyes.
He changed his movement and tried to lean back.
*SWOOSH*
Another shadow appeared diagonally throwing another dagger, this time aiming at his hip.
Even those two daggers are appearing slowly.
He kicked the ground and rose up.
*SWOOSH*
Another shadow with another dagger, from a different direction.
He tried to fly higher and move to the side.
He managed to increase the altitude, but he wasn't able to move. He had to resist the urge to do it.
All of this happened in less than half a second. When he was a few feet high above the ground, he noticed all the six daggers are forming a circular spiral around him. They are still coming at him, just a couple of feet away from him.
At that moment, the Chain sickle that initiated the attack, came back again.
And judging from its trajectory, it didnt come for him.
Instead, it went after one of the daggers.
The curved blade ray hit the dagger cleanly.
*SWISH*
The dagger spun in the spot and its inscription glowed. Not just for that dagger, the inscriptions on the other daggers started glowing as well.
*KEEN*
The keen of the blades resounded from the daggers. Large curved blade rays akin to boomerangs were shot at him from various sides and at various heights.
He didn't even have time to react as all of them went through him.
And don't bother pushing the blame on to Sam. I know for a fact that this issue has started from our side. We are the first ones to draw a blade at his room's doorstep on the first day."
The Elder pursed his lips and said.
"Its... Elder Mangus warned us that Sam is a tough opponent even before the competition
started.
His pressure increased after Sam embarrassed him in the formation contest. However, later on we also understood that he is indeed a threat to our rankings in the auxiliary professions.
We tried to take him down because of it. We formed alliances as you know, but it ended up like
this."
She held her forehead in exasperation. She believed that Sam targeted their academy definitely because of the fuss caused by Mangus. She wondered why that old bat of a man did
this.
That day passed like that. Sam didn't go and eliminate complete academies for the rest of the
day and just took down a few lives.
The next day.
The finals of the weapon making competition.
Sam went to the forge.
With only sixteen people, it looked way better and a lot less congested.
Sam is excited to see what he will get to make today.
The Elder soon gave the information he needed.
"The finals of the Competition. Even though there are sixteen people here, we are not going
with the tournament mode. Rather, all sixteen of you will compete to get the top sixteen
places. The top ten of course has better rewards.
The remaining six will only get a consolation prize from the Thor academy.
As for what you are going to make... in the first challenge, your ability to adapt to someone
else's product has been tested.
The second challenge is to test your basics and forging technique.
Now, the final challenge will test everything related to your weapon making. Design, forging
skills, adaptability.
All you will have is a bunch of requirements which you need to fulfil with your own skills.
For that, we are making weapon sets."
