Septem 20 Extortion

Before I go to my smiting area, I took out my n.o.ble attire because it will be interference with the smiting process. Looking at me took of my clothes and expose my slender body but full only muscle, the spectator started to getting surprised while Bardur just give me scoff.

I didn't bother with their reaction and start to plan what is it that I am going to make. Since the material is only made from iron ore, I didn't plan to using this armor as my body already more than normal steel.

Then, I will just be using some small technique to win this showdown. However, little did I know that this small technique is already ten times more advance than this world smiting technique.

We both start to focus in our own work. One hour later, Bardur already done refining his ore and hammering down his metal while I keep refining my ore. After two hours from the start of showdown, Bardur's armor start to taking a shape. However, I just keep refining the iron ore. The guild master also nervously looking at me at me while my brother getting impatient too but they still thrust in me.

Half an hour later, Bardur's armor is completely and done. He starts to flaunt that this is one of his best masterpiece while the other dwarf also admiring at his work.

Then, he starts to provoke and insult me, "See everyone, he can't even stand the heat of melting ore and too scared to get near it. How about forfeit the showdown before wasting more our time and pay your bet off?" He keep provoke me since I just keep the ore at the furnace for a long time.

I sigh, "It seems this is already the maximum heat it can produce. If I know this from the start I will not wait for this long." As I sigh and start to produce big spell diagram bellow the furnace.

The spell that I use is called h.e.l.l fire my original spell that can produce super heat fire at 4000 degrees Celsius and contain inside it. The furnace starts to cracking and breaking apart. Before it breaks apart, I to take out the liquefied iron and cancel the spell.

The technique that I will use is simple mold like molding clay however normal people can do this since it need direct touch against the 4000 degrees liquefied iron. My body already immune to this kind of heat from the super soldier training program and continue being bombard by fire energy from teacher Gene.

As soon as I took of the liquefied iron, I pour them immediately at cold water and molding it into armor at inhuman speed. After done molding it, I put it back in the furnace while use my h.e.l.lfire spell again.

Few minute later, I took out the glittering red armor from the furnace and put them in the cold water again. After it cool down, I present it to them as my armor. All of this happen in just 15-minute time which give the surprised look from the spectators.

The guild master and the oldest dwarf immediately inspect both of our work. At this moment, they having a surprise expression and looked each other. Then, without hesitation they announced that I win this showdown. My brothers started to cheers while every single spectator disbelieve.

"What, that's impossible how can he win? He just took out a hot armor and put it on the cold water. It is already miracle that the armor is not break apart." As Bardur start to complain.

Then, the oldest dwarf responded, "Bardur, if you don't believe with our judgement, then why don't you inspect this boy armor by yourself."

Bardur approached and inspect at my elegant design with many decoration armor. The armor looks very beautiful, smooth, and glossy in the eye. Even Bardur start to admire this beautiful artwork, but he still didn't satisfy if he loses just because of this.

At this instant, he start to rub his eyes while saying, "Im.. Impossible... how can it be? A super rare grade made only from Iron ore?" as he shouting the later part.

Then, the other dwarf come close to inspect closely my armors. Their expression also shocks because it was a genuine super rare grade armor. They start to touch the armor and search for the possibility another material mix in the armor. However, at this instant Bardur took his axe and start to hammering down toward my armor. BAANNGG… Crackk..

Bardur's axe broke apart while the armor is still intact without even scratch or dent. This make every one more disbelieve of such an event especially the group of the dwarf. They know Bardur's axe is special rare grade weapon that combine with his mighty strength sometime can penetrate super rare armor.

Looking at this phenomena, Bardur immediately kneel in front of me, "Boy, you are right about my blacksmith technique is a lousy and thrash. I admit my defeated of this duel. Please forgive my rudeness from before?" while he bows his head. The others dwarf starts to kneel and bow while also asked for their rudeness.

Dwarf race is a prideful race despite their small build. They famous to never kneel and bow to someone even beaten to death. They will only kneel and bow for they thought there are worthy.

Once you got a kneel and bow from a dwarf means you got accepted as their friend. The dwarf race is rumored to always help their friend even if they need to go war with other kingdom just to helping their friend.

I feel it will create another headache problem keep if other people looking at a group of grandmaster dwarf kneel and bow in front of kid.

I told them to stand up. "Well, let's keep the one in the past as past. Now, look at the time, it's already this late. Don't you think it this showdown is wasting my time a lot? Why don't you all just compensate me with 100 gold each and we call it even. Also don't forget about my bet will you." As I started to extorting them more.

I was not so kind people who is can forgive people easily. Especially to the one that almost nearly kill me and insult my pride. I already give enough face to them for keep their clothes.

"Well, if I start to extorting them more I feel probably I will awaken Greed right now." As I thought while collecting my 100 gold from each of them.

They grumpily give their money as being stared from Bardur. It seems Bardur have more prestige among them. As for Bardur himself, his character turns 180 degrees and started to respect me a lot while asking about my technique that I used to make the armor. Luckily, the guild master helps me with question for the guild to buy my armor from me and store it in the guild store display.

For them the armor seems so worth a lot, but for me it is just a thrash so I agree as I in need some money right now. First, he offered 50 white gold coin for the armor. But, I started to negotiation him for 100 white gold coin as I already know the market price for super rare grade armor is around that. After a lot of negotiation, I decide to sell him at 85 white gold coin with some of the privilege from the guild blacksmith.

After the negotiation done, guild master goes to his office for preparing the necessary doc.u.ment for my certification and money for the armor. During this time, the group of dwarf having their own discussion and getting more restless.

Then, Bardur suddenly approached me, "My dear friend Yosep, actually we are in difficulty situation. The dwarf community in the Rosewood kingdom got task to build a weapon in unique grade as a gift for the crown prince of the Rosewood kingdom. However, we dwarf community in the Rosewood kingdom don't have people that can make a unique weapon." In his sad tone.

He continues, "Our Ironhead clan as the being the best blacksmith in the Rosewood kingdom is being handed over to complete this task. We already try many possible methods to make the unique weapon but all of them is failed."

"The reason we go to blacksmith guild base is to look for a person that can forge a unique weapon. However, after we inquire more about it, there is no such a person. We started to feeling despair as if we can't complete the task our dwarf race will be prosecuted and will lose our standing in Rosewood kingdom." As he sighs further at their current situation

"So, young friend looking at your unbelievable technique of making such an armor. Can you help us try to forge this unique weapon? I know this is absurd request but, we are desperately in need of every help we can get. We dwarf community from the Rosewood kingdom will forever in your debt if you can help us." He pleading while bowing again.

"Actually, it is possible to me to produce such a weapon. However, what's I get if I do this to you? Don't tell me it's just you own me a favor? As grandmaster t.i.tle by yourselves you already know that there are a huge different between unique weapon and super rare weapon. Also favor is not going to be worth of my effort." Said in my evil greedy face.

"What you can do it? So, what exactly you want?" as he already believes me that I can produce the weapon.

"I need money. A lot of money." While I answer with ambiguous.

"If it about money we will pay, so don't..." before he finishes his sentence.

"You don't understand. You said it yourself about the difficulty making unique weapon. No amount of money will worth about my effort. I need a lot of money but, I also don't need it right now. I will need it when I feel I need to use it." As my response started to confuse him more.
