‘Hmm, I have multiple elemental techniques, they should be able to help me with my other elements. Then there are the items I obtained in the trial land.’ Grey thought to himself.

He was currently stuck between selling them or doing something else with them.

‘I recall the Academy having a forgery class or something.’ An idea struck him, since he wouldn’t be going to elemental classes anymore, he would go for one that creates things.

After joining the Academy, his main focus was getting stronger, therefore, he didn’t take his time to fully explore the Academy. All he did was to go to elemental classes, once he’s done, he would go for his personal training. The only time he heard about the Academy having a forgery class was when he overheard it at the library. He still wasn’t too sure.

The truth was, each Academy has Blacksmiths and Physicians. They are the ones who create the weapons, as well as the tonics that the students had access to. There are even array classes. But Grey never looked around. It was just as Klaus said, he was too focused on his goal that he lost sight of the things around him.

‘Alice should be aware of it.’ He immediately came to a decision and went back home.

There were a ton of materials in his storage ring, he planned to try out forgery. If he could become a blacksmith, then maybe he could create weapons for himself, there’s even the chance of creating something like the multi-elemental sword.

The sword says the reason he thought of this, its essence consumption was too high that even in his current state, he couldn’t use it to unleash more than four moves. One has to recall that his elemental essence was more than double of what any other Elementalist his stage has. The high consumption led him to thinking maybe there was a problem with the sword, if he could learn forgery, then he might be to figure out how to reduce it.

On getting home, he quickly took a bath, changed into better clothes before heading straight for Alice’s place. Getting there, he asked if there truly were forgery classes in the Academy, leaving Alice dumbfounded.

“You’ve been in the Academy for over two years, and you’re saying you didn’t know there were forge classes?” Alice couldn’t help but ask again.

Grey scratched his head before nodding awkwardly since he knew it was quite weird for someone to be in a place for over two years yet know only three or four places. He had never been to the Water Hall, nor the Fire Hall, and because he didn’t have the elements at then, he felt he didn’t need to.

“Didn’t you take arrays classes?” Alice asked still shocked.

The forgery class was right next to the arrays class, there was no way he would be that oblivious and miss it.

“Wait, there are arrays classes?” Grey asked with a shocked expression.

His reaction almost threw Alice off her feet. Since Grey could inscribe, she already knew he was good at arrays. There was even a time he made a protective array when they were absorbing the Great Earth Essence Liquid.

“Of course there are arrays classes, unless, you learned arrays from somewhere else.” Alice said while giving Grey a suspicious look.

“I have a Teacher.” Grey said but made sure to take two steps back.

“Oh, in the Academy?” Alice asked.

“I don’t really know if he’s part of the Academy, but you should know him.” Grey went on to tell her about Chris which stunned Alice even more.

She was from a big family and was fully aware of how highly regarded Chris was. Chris could be said to be the reason the Lunar Academy was at its current height. He might not be an instructor, but his presence was more than enough.

After managing to calm herself down, she told him where the forge was, and also where students take forgery classes.

With Alice pointing him in the direction, he headed for the forge first. He had never been to a forge before, other than seeing the few blacksmiths shops at Red City, he didn’t see the actual forge, the place where all the weapons and tools were created.

On getting to the forge, he was surprised to see a huge building in front of him. He had always thought that a forge would be a small place.

He went in to see what it looked like inside, on getting inside, he was greeted by the sight of two people working. It was just like a normal blacksmith’s workshop, with a furnace at the extreme end of the building, a boat-like wooden object with water in it, it was probably what was used in cooling the items after they were shaped. There was a normal-sized table inside, Grey didn’t know what it was used for, there was also a hammer which looked too shiny, he guessed it was rarely used here since it was lying close to a man who was working on what looked like a shield.

He saw coals staked up close to the furnace, and a young man who looked around his age could be seen putting some in the fire underneath the furnace. He would also occasionally use his fire element to increase the temperature. The use of the coal is so that the furnace could maintain a steady temperature since the Fire Elementalist couldn’t release fire constantly for long.

The man who was working on the shield was an Earth Elementalist, he created a huge earthen hammer that he used in shaping the shield.

Grey stood at the door of the forge for over ten minutes just watching how forgery works. The man working on the shield saw him when he entered, but didn’t bother about him. A lot of students come to the forge, but after seeing the strenuous work, they always run away, he didn’t see the need to chase this one since he would leave on his own.
