The Craftsman

Chapter 37

Daedalus and Grite led the ma.s.sive group of students into the club room before sitting down at a table that was placed so that all the other students could see them. Dan was sitting quietly to the side working on a small throwing knife though he was so focused that he didn"t notice the students entering and they also did not notice him.

Daedalus immediately went and started talking about how they would test the students with Grite interrupting every now and then with things he had forgotten. In all they would be the judges and would take a student at a time and have them tell the two about their experiences and knowledge of enchanting, also that if they have no experience or knowledge of enchanting that they might as well leave so as to not waste time, though that was said a lot kinder.

Immediately three quarters of the hundreds of students began to leave while sighing, while the other quarter of the students began mumbling saying things like "I hope I can make the minimum requirement." or "I wonder if they will be impressed?"

Daedalus then waved his hand and got their attention before saying "Ok we will begin with the tests also I want everyone to be able to hear so that if we deny someone who has similar experience and knowledge to you that you can leave with them. I know it is a bit brutal but it is much more efficient and it is not like you can"t come back in the future!"

After having finished speaking Grite called a kid forward who looked quite incredibly nervous before saying "Tell me how good is your ability to read and write in the runic language?"

The kid awkwardly answered "Um I, I can read about half of the language but I can write all of it pretty well, I think."

Daedalus smiled and said "Welcome to the club!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the end only ten people out of the remaining hundred or so actually managed to join the club and were introduced to Dan as he was the supervisor. Daedalus said that they would be working to further eachother"s understanding of enchanting as well as to make interesting and unique magical items that do not necessarily have to conform to the norms of enchanting as long as it functions properly to its creators intention.

With that said he told them that their were some books in the cupboard that were books about enchanting as well as research notes that might be interesting. Then Daedalus got the whole club to follow him to a closet in a corner near Dan who was still working on his throwing knives. Daedalus began telling the club members about how the closet was full of complete and incomplete magic items that they would be allowed to study if they were in the club room.

Daedalus then turned to the club members and said "Okay so what do you think, is there anything that is missing?"


All of the club members replied with a unanimous "No."

Daedalus then told them "Okay just have fun I need to go home now so enjoy the club!"
