I reached the jailhouse.
The bandits within the cells had their eyes on me as soon as I entered, so I couldnt help but be a bit scared.
I tried to pay it no mind as much as I could though, and concentrated on the task I came here to do. So, I lightly touched the bars separating me from the bandits.
Hmm, it looks like I can use this.
My idea was to use Facility Customization on these metal bars and make weapons even stronger than those made of wood.
But if I start as is, therell be a gap between the bars.
After paying 2 points, the bars in the cell increased by 1.
Wha!?
The banditswho were still watching mesaw an additional bar suddenly appear, so they were understandably surprised.
I detached one end of the additional bar and made it shorter. Next, I expanded it horizontally, but also flattened it a bit. I then made the disconnected end become pointed.
I repeated these things until the bar was shaped like a sword.
When I was satisfied with its form, I detached the other the end, effectively making it no longer part of the facility.
What dropped to the floor was unmistakably a sword.
This only made the bandits even more clueless as to what was going on.
I did it! woah, its much heavier than I thought.
I remarked so after picking it up.
It was quite dense. But then, that should also mean that it was strong.
Now that I think about it though, if I made the swords from the shed to be denser, maybe they would have become stronger as well.
Leaving that thought aside, I decided to strike the wall with the metal sword I made. The impact with the wall caused shockwaves to be transmitted directly to my arms though.
Ow, ow, ow. I feel like my arms are about to fall off any moment.
The problem was that the part I was holding was an extension of the blade. In other words, I was holding the blades shank.
If I remember right, they usually cover the lower part with wood or leather.
After giving it some thought, I decided to make the hilt with the wood from the shed.
So, I moved the shed next to the jailhouse. Next, I placed the blades shank to the outer wall of the shed. I then made the wall wrap itself tightly around the shank. I made sure to make the wood be dense. Once I was satisfied, I detached the finished hilt from the wall.
Obviously, I would have preferred to make the partsthe blade and the hiltindividually first and then combine them at a later time. However, because the sword parts wouldnt have been considered part of their respective facilities anymore, I wouldnt have been able to use Facility Customization to combine them.
Am I dreaming?
how can you be when Im seeing the exact same thing
He made a sword out of the metal bar, and then suddenly made a shed appear whats the hells going on in this village?
The bandits who saw the whole thing were stunned silly. I mean, it is a bizarre thing to witness.
Anyway, its complete now. The wooden grip should be able to absorb a bit of the shock. While Im at it, I guess should try to make a spear. Only the tip should be made of metal, I think, and the rest should be made out of wood.
As long as I made the shaft be compact, it should be strong enough.
After following similar steps, I finished the spear as well. I brought both the sword and the spear to show it to Selen.
Selen, look, I was able to make decent weapons this time.
This is made fromiron? Where did you get it from though?
Selen was quite surprised by the weapons.
Nevertheless, she summoned Balrath-san and sparred with him again.
This time though, even after several exchanges of blows, the sword I made didnt break.
It seems strong enough.
Yes. I dont mind using this in real fights.
It seemed like the sword passed.
Next, to test the spear, Selen called Rando-kun who had [Spear Techniques].
Its so easy to handle. More importantly, its sharpness is so different from the one Ive been using. With this spear, even I should be able to contribute to our hunts!
Because Rando-kun has been using a wooden spear until now, he was so delighted to receive the spear I made.
But where did this spear come from?
I made it.
You did, village chief?!
His eyes wide open, Rando-kun shouted so.
Wow! I promise you, village chief, this spear will never see battle!
Huh? Why!?
Because its the very first item youve bestowed upon me. Its a treasure. No, its more than that. Itll be an heirloom Ill pass on to my children and my childrens children!
No, please, just use it!
Its not that grand!
Ghhif I knew, I wouldnt have swung it so carelessly earlier
Not you too, Balrath-san!
