Chereads / The Greatest Knight / Chapter 5 - The awakening of his affinity

Chapter 5 - The awakening of his affinity

"So what your reason to come here suddenly?" Bernar asked Arju once again since he was distracted earlier because of Izayoi and it has taken them another minute to let him continue laughing even Arju is quite pissed since it is his protective nature for the little boy.

"I've come today because I want to buy a sword for him, do you have a finished product" Bernar then taken the google of his face and then stand up.

"So it is like that, I thought you finally want to have one of my works but it is for this brat" He went to a room which looks like his storage room, and then they suddenly heard a clang from metals. Indicating that he is finding a specific weapon inside. They waited for a few more seconds when the door finally opened.

"Arju, is this fine?" Bernar then walked out of the room with a sword. The sword has the same size as the one he has and when he gets a hold of it he was surprised at how light it is.

"This is the usual sword that was asked to me for little children though it is not much selling since children in the village are almost gone by now, I have made it with copper and tin and made as thin as possible so that those that wield it can use it easily" Izayoi saw the sword which has a little shade of red indicating what property it was made of. He then tried to hold the weapon and was also surprised at how light it is.

He can already swing his master's sword properly though not that long and that sword can still even make him exhausted but, he like his master's sword. Just by holding that he can feel that he can become even more powerful.

"Master, I want a sword that has the same weight as the one you have" When the child suddenly talked out of nowhere the two other people looked at him.

"Izayoi for now that sword is the one that you need, you have already finished" Right now what he really needs is swiftness since he had already wielded his heavy sword and that is a good foundation for his swordsmanship. Right now he needs him to learn a much faster way to hold it.

"I'll still let you hold this sword so that you don't have to forget it's sensation" On the background, Bernar is wondering what they are talking about.

"Hey Arju, this child can wield your sword?" Bernar asked though he still thinks that it is unbelievable since that sword is already for an experienced knight and the little boy looks like he can be swayed by the wind.

"Yes, and it quite exceptional, did you know that…" he said with a proud look on his face. While he is still feeling proud Bernar went near the little boy and grab a random sword on the side since the inside of his house is full of swords because this is also his workshop.

The sword that he picked is a sword that is always requested to him by those men who are aiming to be a team of thieves who are attacking those caravans that is from those rich villages.

This kind of sword is suitable for those with earth affinity that can use the dirt. The earth is one of those five primary affinities that one can possess once they turn six-year-old with their baptism. It has two categories, those who can use the dirt and those who can control the floras or plants.

"Hey, little boy would you like to hold this" he let the child hold that sword which is quite heavy even for him. The little boy is still wary with this person since he laughed at him and he still has a little grievance but still he grabs the sword since it looks durable.

When he was about to lift the sword up he was quite surprised with its weight and even its size is quite impressive. The sword looks cool but somehow he didn't like it.

"Mister, I think Master's sword is much better" He was taken aback when the little boy said this, but then he agreed with him since this person is a sword maniac.

"You think so too, his sword is extremely remarkable, that sword is made by one of the greatest blacksmiths in our continent and I was quite surprised when I first saw it, even if the other people don't recognize it, I did at first glance" The little boy was quite surprised at his reaction, and you can even visualize him having shining eyes.

He was about to talk once again when Arju saw that he looks like harassing the little boy and pushed him away.

"Stop that, you're making him uneasy" Bernar apologized and scratch his head.

"Izayoi wait there for a second I'll go there to pay for the sword" Arju then left with the sword for him on his left hand while in his right hand is Bernar being dragged. He was left there still holding the big sword. He then put the sword where it was placed before and he was about to go back to his seat when his eyes caught a glimpse of the furnace and he was amazed.

He went near it and was quite surprised that he is not feeling hot, that's when he suddenly came up with a drastic idea which is not surprising for a little child who is still curious about everything in the world.

He tried to put his arm inside the furnace and then a purple light came out of his arm and then the fire went to his hand which makes him shout. This got the attention of the two adults that is in the other room.

Arju immediately dashed to the room where Izayoi is and somehow before he even saw it, the purple light turned red and his hand still has the fire on it.
