Chapter 17 - Fiddling in Manipulation

-Ping

Young Master is ready to create their Ki Weapon! Fantastic! Your heart and Formed Ki Core will help shape this weapon that will be by your side always. Well, aside from your summons of course. Shall we begin?

[YES/NO]

Well, since Celeste is bringing this up. That this is a very crucial step for me in my Ki cultivation. After pondering the message Zarue nodded inwardly and selected yes.

-Ping

Wonderful, Young Master! Let us begin! You know what to do.

Keep calm, and focus, Celeste just cheered for me, so I will be able to pull this off, just focus and let what I need be shaped into the iron wood logs.

-Ping

!WARNING! No compatible materials are nearby to use for Ki Weapon. All materials around can only be used for defensive purposes only. Suggestion of creating clothes from [iron wood logs] for fantastic defense is highly recommended.

Wait, what?! I can't make my Ki Weapon with the iron wood logs that I have? In that case, I will more than likely have to train in martial skills like a monk. Alright then, it is settled, I will play it off like I had an epiphany. Celeste, how tough can I make clothes out of the iron wood logs?

-Ping

Young Master, the [iron wood logs] you acquired are so dense in Ki that you only need two pieces per article of clothing. Note that reinforced gloves, braces, shoes and shin guards will be two for each article. Not the pair. With only two logs per article your defense will even rival that of the strongest metal. Also please note that you will learn at the 'Academy' the different types of metal and may see safely what your clothes can handle. I do recommend doubling areas prone to being hit by weapons.

Celeste! If that is the case, then I will just use five logs per article. Before you even ask, I personally believe that one less is asking for an ill end.

-Ping

Of course Young Master! New traits have been found in the [iron wood logs] since the Ki will be so dense in each article. The first trait is [Enhanced Weather Conditioning]. Though Young Master has successfully cultivated their Ki to withstand the weather, this will keep the Young Master from becoming wet from rain and snow, allowing for moisture to be repelled and not weigh you down. The second trait is [Chosen Wearer], this trait makes it to where no one except you can wear and carry these clothes (unless you ask someone to fetch them for you). Just like your ring!

Ah! Wonderful news! I do not even have to enchant anything, everything comes with perfect traits actually! I didn't even think about repelling certain weather conditions and making it to where no one could wear them. I wonder what would happen if I tried to do a little more, I mean, I have so many logs still, even after all these years with physical training on them.

-Ping

!WARNING! Young Master can not do more than this amount of Ki Manipulation in objects. I have placed a limiter for non-crisis situations to prevent Young Master from fainting. Please do not faint again, it was worrisome.

Well that answers that question then. Oh well. Let's get this started then. So, I have my shirt, pants, belt, reinforced boots, and gauntlets. That should be thirty five iron wood logs.

-Ping

Young Master, that is incorrect. Making reinforced boots will mean that the high part of the boot will be used for the shin guard, and for the gauntlets, since they could be considered a glove and vambrace meshed together. With this in mind each of these will need ten [iron wood logs]. Also, while this might be embarrassing for you to even think about, do you not wish to have undergarments made as well.

Oh! Uh… that is embarrassing a little Celeste, but thank you for bringing it up. Yes, I will make two separate articles of undergarments, along with an eye covering and hair tie.

...

Celeste?

-Ping

Sorry Young Master! I was taken aback by your response, and discovered another trait for those two undergarments that will also apply to all your clothing. The trait is [Non Removable], meaning that no one except for you can remove your clothes. Looks like the Ki in the [iron wood logs] wish to protect you as much as possible. For the hair tie and eye covering, it can be one piece, and will gain the trait [One Sided Visibility], allowing you to see through with no impedance to your vision while no one can see where you are looking. With all these notes, the final total count of logs needed will be sixty logs. That is very close to your limit Young Master, please have Relrem beside you just in case.

Understood Celeste, thank you for the help and guidance.

As they opened their eyes, Zarue saw that the three logs they had summoned now laid on the ground in front of them. Also with that, Relrem and Regen stood there, with obvious concern.

"Zarue, honey, why did you stop yourself from creating your Ki weapon? You were so excited to make it." Regen asked as she knelt in front of Zarue and gently tussled their hair.

"I had a thought, mom. I do not have actual weapon training, so creating a Ki Weapon could be more of a hindrance. Especially if it is a weapon you or mom could teach me. So instead, I am going to make some really sturdy clothing, including reinforced boots and gauntlets since I know some martial arts because of physical training, along with an eye covering that can also be used as a hair tie at the same time." Zarue stated, warmth and intelligence in their eyes.

Regen beamed, "Well then! Please go for it! Rel' and I will make ourselves comfortable next to you in case you go overboard, how many logs will you be using?"

With a deadpan expression, Zarue answered matter of factly, "Only sixty logs, give or take."

"Wha-what… 'only sixty' you say?" Regen groaned, putting her face in her hand, "Your mom was right, we trained a scary child that we love very dearly." Regen chuckled as she nodded to Zarue to go ahead and start creating.

Hey there reader! Thanks for reading this latest chapter! I would appreciate it if you could leave a review on this chapter or on the novel page. Maybe even a power stone if you so choose! These things will help me know how the audience (you) are enjoying my writing and where I need to improve!

Also a heads up! Still deciding on when to create a discord server so it would be easier to talk to me with ideas or writing issues that you may see that I do not!
