Chapter 692 Joining Competition
Fein had been browsing through the town square, looking for something that could pique his interest, when a flyer caught his eye. He approached it, studying the text with interest. It was an announcement for a blacksmithing competition, and the prize was a large sum of money. He couldn't pass up the opportunity to show off his SS-rank blacksmith talent. Of course, he has to disguise himself or else the judge might not even dare to judge his work as a high-ranking leader of the South. it might intimidate them.
The moment he arrived home, Fein headed straight to his workshop, already envisioning what he would create. His golden bear, Voli, followed him, watching as Fein meticulously sorted through his tools and supplies, preparing to begin his project.
"I can't wait to see what you'll make," Voli said, nuzzling Fein's hand. "You're the most talented person."
Fein grinned, stroking Voli's fur. "Thanks, buddy. I want to make something special for this competition, something that will make everyone's jaws drop."
For days, Fein worked tirelessly, his focus solely on his creation. His family and friends offered to help, but Fein insisted on doing it alone, wanting to make sure every detail was perfect. He would often stay up late into the night, pouring all of his time and energy into the project.
Fey would come to check up on him from time to time, offering snacks and drinks, while his mother Melissa would bring him warm meals to keep him going.
"You're going to make us all proud," Melissa said, beaming at her son. "I'm so excited to see what you'll come up with."
Fein smiled back, his heart swelling with love for his mother. "Thanks, Mom. I won't let you down."
As the competition date drew closer, Fein's nerves began to set in. He doubted himself, wondering if he had spent too much time on one particular aspect and not enough on another. But his friends and family continued to offer words of encouragement, assuring him that he was capable of winning.
...
Fein spent hours searching through his storage space for the perfect combination of materials. His treasure trove of monster corpses, A and S rank materials, and other precious items seemed endless, but he knew he had to find the right ones for his armor and sword.
With determination in his eyes, Fein pulled out a Minotaur horn, a Dark Lion's mane, and a Gargoyle's wing, among other things. He examined each item carefully, looking for the perfect pieces to use.
"This Minotaur horn would make a great hilt," he muttered to himself, running his fingers along the smooth surface of the horn. "And this Dark Lion's mane could be woven into a strong and sturdy chainmail."
As he gathered the materials he needed, Fein's mind began to race with ideas for his entry. He envisioned a suit of armor that would be both beautiful and functional, with intricate details that would impress the judges.
He worked tirelessly, pouring all of his focus and energy into his creation. With each strike of his hammer, he felt himself getting closer to his goal.
Occasionally, he would stop to admire his progress and the materials he had collected, running his hands over the different textures and imagining how they would fit together. He smiled to himself, feeling a sense of pride and satisfaction at the work he was doing.
"I can't wait to see the finished product," he said aloud to himself, excitement evident in his voice.
As he worked, his friends and family would pop into the workshop to check on him and offer their support. They could see how much he cared about this competition, and they wanted to help in any way they could.
"You're doing great, Fein," his sister Fey said as she watched him work. "This armor is going to be amazing."
Fein smiled, grateful for her encouragement. He knew he couldn't do this alone, and having his loved ones by his side made the process all the more special.
...
After discovering the blacksmithing competition, Fein returned to his workshop to begin crafting his masterpiece. He knew that he needed to create something truly unique and special if he wanted to win the grand prize, and so he decided to combine the horns of a Minotaur, the wings of a Gargoyle, and the mane of a Dark Lion to create an A-rank sword and armor.
Fein spent hours examining the materials, carefully studying their characteristics and figuring out how best to combine them. The Minotaur's horn was hard and sturdy, perfect for creating the blade of the sword, while the Gargoyle's wings were light and flexible, ideal for forming the armor. The Dark Lion's mane was tough and durable, making it the perfect material for the hilt of the sword.
Fein started by carefully cutting the Minotaur's horn into the shape of a sword blade, using his hammer and anvil to pound it into the desired shape. He then moved on to the Gargoyle's wings, using his forge to heat and mold them into the shape of armor plates.
As he worked, Fein's face was a picture of intense concentration, his brow furrowed in concentration as he carefully manipulated the materials. He would occasionally pause to wipe the sweat from his brow or take a deep breath, but otherwise, he worked without interruption.

He carefully braided the Dark Lion's mane, using his nimble fingers to create an intricate design. He then attached the hilt to the blade, securing it in place with a series of metal fastenings.
Finally, Fein stepped back to admire his handiwork. The sword was a thing of beauty, the Minotaur's horn gleaming in the light and the braided mane of the Dark Lion adding an elegant touch. The armor plates were equally impressive, the Gargoyle's wings forming a protective layer that would shield the wearer from harm.
The sword's blade was made from the Minotaur's horn, polished to a bright shine. The hilt was wrapped in the Dark Lion's mane, the strands woven tightly together. The armor was made from the Gargoyle's wing, the plates fitted together perfectly.
Fein couldn't help but smile at his creation. He knew that he had poured his heart and soul into the project, and he was confident that it would be a contender in the competition. As he carefully placed the sword and armor in a sturdy wooden box for transport, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction.
"I did it," he whispered to himself, his eyes shining with pride. "I created something truly special."
