CH968: Three Months... II
Protector Court Street, Balogun Family Estate, Nigeria.
A tall, dark-skinned youth with about average appearance, spotting two distinct tribal tattoos across both arms hammered down before a furnace.
The furnace was so hot that the air within a five metre radius of the furnace swirled due to the heat!
The heat seared the youth's skin so much that his bare torso almost glowed in a reddish hue, yet the youth ignored it. He hammered down on the cooling molten steel which took the vague shape of a Katana.
The youth's face was stern. Nothing remained in his perception aside the sword he was forging.
The hammering continued for more than half a day.
Whenever the steel cooled down, he would put it back into the scouring hot furnace for a while before continuing to hammer.
Finally after a hard day's work, the youth looked at the nascent form of a Japanese blade in his hands.
