Chapter 40.2

“You’re at the beginning stages of becoming a sword master?”

“Yes.”

“Can you show me your aura?”

In response to Joel’s words, Cassel conjured an aura with his hands and showed him. A blue-hued aura hovered around his palm.

“To be a sword master at such a young age.”

As he glanced at the aura for a moment before attempting to touch it with his hand, the aura obediently responded to his touch.

“I don’t feel anything.”

“You can feel it when it attunes.”

Leilia recalled the times when Cassel had attuned. Meanwhile, Joel wore an intrigued look but didn’t ask Cassel to do it. It was because it was a truly special thing for a sword master to transfer aura.

Karin clung to Leilia and Cassel, not wanting to walk alone.

“How did you become a sword master?”

“I became one through training.”

Joel’s complexion turned pale when he heard those words.

“I couldn’t achieve it even with training.”

“Joel was also quite skilled in swordsmanship.”

After saying that, Karin smirked.

“I just trained with earnestness.”

Cassel shrugged his shoulders.

“How did you train?”

Even when he persistently asked, Cassel explained leisurely. Joel’s ears perked as he listened.

Later, as the conversation between the two deepened, Karin and Leilia quietly slipped away. While the two of them talked about various things, Cassel was looking at her.

The dwarven village resembled a place where humans lived. There were small roofs with pillars from which smoke gently rose. What stood out were the scattered blacksmiths. As Leilia wandered around, she chuckled upon seeing a little dwarf who ran away upon spotting her.

Dwarves were notably short. With stout bodies and small stature, they looked exactly like the pictures her mother had shown her.

“Karin, you’re back.”

A dwarf with brown hair tied up in a bun and carrying a hammer, as if he had been waiting for Karin, approached and asked.

“I’ve brought humans directly.”

“Oh… Are these them?”

“The leader of the Hyllan Merchants Association and her husband.”

“Is he the sword master?”

The dwarf approached closer and carefully examined Cassel.

“The aura is blue. It’s faintly emanating from his body.”

Leilia remembered those words and greeted the dwarf.

“I’m Leilia Jen Roten.”

“I’m Max. I’m the chief of the dwarven village and mainly craft swords used by sword masters.”

“I’m Cassel Jen Roten.”

Hearing Cassel’s heavy words, Max held out his hand to him.

“This piece is a mixture of magic and iron. Try infusing some aura into it.”

As Cassel received a small piece and infused aura into it, the aura settled into the small piece.

“Ordinary swords would break if infused with aura. It’s difficult to withstand that level of power, but iron imbued with magic is different.”

What imbued iron with magic was a secret smelting method handed down from the dwarven village. It was a secret technique passed down only to the best blacksmiths of the time among the dwarves.

“I didn’t expect to have the opportunity to make a sword master’s sword in my lifetime.”

He stared at Cassel curiously.

“Would you like to see the sword first?”

“I’d love to.”

At Cassel’s words, they all moved to where the sword was kept.`

Since the method of making a sword master’s sword was a secret, Max mentioned that they made the sword at a blacksmith’s shop slightly away from the dwarven village.

Max opened the blacksmith’s door and quickly showed them the sword.

The blade shimmered with a blue light, and the hilt was adorned in red. It seemed to match the color of Cassel’s eyes. Leilia, without saying a word, reached out to touch the sword but withdrew her hand at a strange sensation.

“I feel like the sword is rejecting me.”

Max nodded in response to her words.

“That feeling is correct.”

Cassel silently gazed at the sword.

“It feels like the sword is calling out to me.”

“Ah.”

He grabbed the sword without saying a word.

“What?”

As if conversing with the sword, Cassel exclaimed before the light appeared, before all traces of him vanished as if by magic.

“Cassel!”

Leilia looked at Karin in surprise.

“It’s a test.”

“A test?”

“A sword with an ego chooses its master and tests its master.”

“You didn’t mention anything like that!”

Max approached Leilia’s outcry.

“It’ll be okay. Even though he fell into the monster’s forest, it shouldn’t be too far from here. If you can wield that sword properly, the monsters will be in trouble.”

Even with his words, Leilia couldn’t calm her racing heart.

“Cassel should be okay.”

…Just when he was finally out of battle. Just when she had hoped for him to rest peacefully, he was caught up in another fight.

Leilia gazed at the spot where he had disappeared with worried eyes.
