Septem

Chapter 18

Yosep POV

As soon as I done getting my certification, we immediately leave the hall while many people still waiting nervously the result of the test. We didn"t brother to partic.i.p.ate waiting the cold genius"s news. It seems William also know about him and doesn"t like him at all. Since from the beginning of the commotion, he started to be quiet and only Fernan that do the talking.

Then, we go to Magician section. During the way to magician guild base, William start to tell us that Tom Rickey actually only a brat that like to bully the weak especially commoner many times. He even clashes with him sometime. But, it was nothing serious since it was only arguing with each other. Hearing this I only can only think of him as spoiled kid

We arrive at the magician guild base which so huge with castle like building with some pier or to be more precise a tower. First, we go inside the guild hall which less crowded than warrior guild base. We directly go to empty applying certification reception area.

I told the employee that I want to apply for magician expert and warlock expert t.i.tle. Then, I fill the necessary doc.u.ment first as the procedure first. Fortunately, it is not that rare for kids at my age to apply expert t.i.tle magician especially from the n.o.ble family.

After I pay the applying fee, I took the test inside the room next to hall area. The room also inside pocket dimension. Inside the room there is only one examiner and a dummy. The examiner told the rules that I only need to use spell at minimal five-star level from magician spell and warlock spell.

The spell can be either support spell or even destruction spell as long as I cast inside the magic rune on the floor. The rune will check the usage of mageforce when the spell being use and give data to the examiner about the level of one spell that being cast.

Since I don"t want waste any more time, I cast wind blade from the warlock spells and fly from the magician spells simultaneously. The examiner surprised that I didn"t sweat after cast both spells at the same time. He checks the magic rune and it shows five star spells from both of them. He seems want to inquire more about me. But, from his look, he already experiences this kind of things before.

Then, He announce that I pa.s.s the test without question anymore. It seems in this kingdom; the magician guild base is very lax compare to warrior guild. Since Rosewood kingdom majority people more oriented to warrior job than magician job.

I leave the test room and wait for a while for the certification. After a few minute pa.s.s without any incident, I get my certification and the employee also explain the same thing about the usage of the card. I infuse mageforce to the card and it shows:

Yosep Temus

Age: 8 years" old

Affiliation country: Rosewood Kingdom

t.i.tle: Magician (expert level)

Warlock (expert level)


After that, we leave the magician guild hall and go to the Ex-job area and start to get my certification for alchemy, scripter, and witchcraft t.i.tle without any ha.s.sle. All I need to do is show my skill to the examiner and they will put at one of my main job certification for the ex-job certification. I choose my magician job certification to hold all my ex-job t.i.tle.

Then, we go to our last destination the blacksmith guild base. The blacksmith is one of the respective job among the others ex-job. As we enter the guild base, there are seems a commotion going on. Apparently, a group of grandmaster blacksmiths is visit to this guild base. We didn"t bother about it and start to queue in the job applying area.

At this instant, we get a notice from the employee that the blacksmith guild base will stop their activity for today. People who already queuing for some time start to getting angry and complain. The situation starts to become worst as people making ruckus.

Then, a person from dwarf race come it from the inside and shout to be quiet as they right now right in the middle of doing important things. People start to curse him and be t.i.tle him. During this time, a group of dwarf also come in to the hall. They start to argue with each other.

As this is happening, I feel I will not get my blacksmith certification and urge my brothers to leave this place and back to townhouse. But, before I can say anything a dwarf pointed me while saying, "Do you all think that being a blacksmith is easy? Look at that slender boy with good attire that also come to apply for blacksmith certificate. Just what you think blacksmith job is? A child plays?" as he started to slander me more and more.

My brothers want to retaliate and argue with him. However, before they can say anything, "It seems just become a meager lowly blacksmith already make you like barking. I guess it is really not worthy for me to even get this job certificate." As I say in the prideful tone. I feel getting offended in my pride from his saying.

Back in earth, there is one h.e.l.l of taboo that people should not do to me. It is to insult our pride as Septem. In the past, we almost kill every single armed force in certain country because one of their officer provoke us by insult our pride. This is also the reason why pride is the strongest personalities I have as all the others personalities will combine their power to pride as they also feel being insulted.

As I said those word, I feel every fiber at my body is screaming in pain because Pride tried to awake. But, I still give face to looking down the dwarf. However, the truth is my body at the limit. If it is not for my training program which make me endure a lot of pain, I will start to struggle a lot and scream like mad. I try calm my mind by keep saying not yet and it is not the right time.

However, even after experience of this pain I choose not to back down and want to challenge the dwarf in prideful manner while keep belittle him as thrash blacksmith. Angry from my provocation, he starts to propose me a duel to forge. I agree immediately to him without any hesitation.

He started to propose of a bet that if he win then, I need to pay him 500 gold coin for slandering him. Then, I also replied to him that if I win, I will get my certificate and make him pay me 1000 gold coin instead.

"Want to extort my money? I will you bankrupt from this." As I thought

He wavers a little bit about after hearing my respond and want to rebuke it. However, after I provoke him, "Hahaha… Look there is a shameless grandmaster blacksmith takes advantage of a child without blacksmith certification and getting scared after a simple bet."

The oldest dwarf in the group want to become middle man for both of us. Some people that make ruckus also persuade me to stop being reckless. While my brother just keeps their calm as they know I can already make my own weapon.

Even though they don"t know what grade is my weapon that I make. They thrust in my ability because even master blacksmith can process the meteorite ore while I can and make it into my sword.

Feeling more insulted from the oldest dwarf, the arrogant dwarf immediately agreed with my bet. He proposed to do the showdown of making armor as it was the possible way to show the skill of blacksmith. Then, we go to the inner part of the blacksmith guild base.

In the inner part of the guild base, there are a lot of blacksmith equipment and huge furnace. A lot of blacksmith also can be seems doing their job from hammering, refining, smelting, etc. The inner part is very hot from the constant heat of the furnace.

Apparently, this arrogant dwarf is called Bardur Ironhead from the silver mountain in the Rosewood kingdom. He has stature like the other dwarf with the height of half adult and a long beard with curly hair. He also has blue eyes and copper hair color. He has quite stubborn personality and like other dwarf is very greedy over money.

After we arrive in the inner part, there are two smiting area which already prepared for our showdown. The guild master of the blacksmith guild is only master t.i.tle and can say anything about our stubborn nature to have showdown. He can only follow the dwarfs group have to say.

The duel is about forge an armor from the raw iron ore. As Ironhead clan, Bardur is quite proficient working with iron since they lived at silver mountain. The silver mountain is the largest supplier of iron to the Rosewood kingdom. So, he confidence at his own skill to win this bet. This also the reason he proposes this showdown this way.

However, little did he know that was a trap that I set to him to make him more eager about the bet. We also decide the jury is from guild master of the blacksmith capital guild base and the oldest dwarf from the silver mountain.

the guild master start to having cold sweat and dilemma after know that I am from marquis Temus family. But, he also cannot disobey the order from the famous Ironhead clan. Since his entire life career depends on them.

I told him that I will not wrong him if I lose and will pay money according to the bet as long as he judges impartially. After hearing that he starts to less nervous and explain the rules. The rules are we will make an armor from the iron ore by ourselves without the help of other people.

The duration will be maximum 3 hours which is very short time even for the grandmaster t.i.tle blacksmith. The criteria will be the grade of the armor, the quality of the armor, and also the durability of the armor.

Then, both of us started to get ready and go to our respective start to do our smiting. While only the dwarf group, my brothers, and the guild master become the spectator.
