Paul :
Due to the nature of the scales it was a pain in the ass to make . I hope you like it .
Jay :
These are brilliant .
Paul :
The blades have been sharpened and ready to use . I thought there would be some kind of rust . But no and I mean for a long time .
The spear I recommend to not use it is nearing it's end .
Did you recently stab something really hard with it .
Jay :
A ice dragon .
Paul : (unfazed)
Un Hmm that's why it's in this poor condition. Here's the rest of the equipment . I recommend to Just buy new ones from our shop .
Here I have 2 pairs of bracelet.
This should hold this elemental stones quite well and allow you to use their powers .
I recommend to use one at a time or they can explode .
One for you and other for your sidekick .
Where is he I don't see him .
Meanwhile McElroy...
McElroy: ,(Bargaining)
This accessory cant you make it more cheaper .
Owner :
Sir it is our most priceless possession we can't give it away for a loss .
McElroy :
I am a regular now so can't you. be just a bit leniant .
Owner :
Thank your for coming here regularly but we can't sell it that cheap .
Jay :
I think that's what's happening.
Due to the guild there is an increasing need for accessories with different effects .
Paul :
I heard there is an master who teaches metal magic is passing through the town . You must meet him he an incredible teacher .
Jay :
Ah how much should I pay for the cuff .
Paul :
Just take them , I'll feel bad if I extract more money than needed .
Jay : Thanks man .
Everything is done and now left is final preparation and then we leave . They told that they will let us know when to leave .
I toss everything in the inventory.
Oh the misery when I didn't had the inventory.
I was strolling down the street . Happily and cheerily . Until I reached my hold .
I opened the door and was greeted by hmmm . An old chinese man ?
Butler :
Welcome back Sir , we have a guest .
? ,:
So you're the one who gave him a place to stay when he had none . He used to stay with us until the skeleton tore us apart and I have been searching for him ever since .
(Bows) Thank you .
Jay .:
Please don't bow I am younger than you . I should give proper respect .
you're my elder .
? :
I should introduce myself.
My name is Metan . I'm a practicioner of metal magic hailing from the mountains in the north .
Jay :
My name is Jay Garrick . Im work at the guild and take on quest . Like yourself I also practice metal magic and fire magic alongside it .
Metan :
Hoho such an elemental affinity wonderful . Your fire magic is an excellent medium to temper and refine your metal .
Jay :
Thank you for such praise .
Metan:
As a practicioner and instructor of metal arts I would like to see your metal magic as well .
Jay :
It would be an honor to learn from you .
Suddenly transporting to a field of grass outside Elba .
We both stood 4.meters apart from each other . With wind rustling and the sound of grass wavering in the wind .
Metan :
I will give you the chance of first attack .
Jay :
Thank you for your guidance .
I began synthesizing needles and sent them towards the elder .
The elder had a.metal fan and shook the needles one by one .
Then the master sent a spike towards me . I just slid besides when I was met with another spike . Coming slant. from. above
I counterated by changing its trajectory with my hands . And lead it. into the ground .
Metan :
Your needles need more mass and speed with this much you'll never be able to pierce even a wild boar .
I sent a spike attack from the ground . Spikes started appearing from the ground . And as the elder turned he was met with a spike directly below him .
But with his palm he broke the spike from the ground .
Metan ,:
Faster .
I sent two wave of spikees this time towards the elder . The elder ounteracted with his own spikefield . And it neutralized mine .
Metan : Make your attacks more unpredictable.
Don't stop countinue .
If the direct attack doesn't cut it . Then I need to us other method .
Metan was standing in one place in anticipation of my next attack. As chain rose from the ground and bound Metan tightly .
But it was far from. over .
As from behind I summoned an steel battering ram and threw it at the maximum speed I could .
But Metan counterated with a thick metal wall absorbing the blow .
From the ground. behind me another battering ram . Rammed me and tossed me into air . So much that I could see. behind the wall .
Metan was just standing and he summoned multiple knives and launched them at. me .
I tried to change their tragectory using needkes but the knives simply passed through the needle barrage and scratched me . And I fell to the ground .
Metan stood before me unwavered . Like a steel wall . Adamant and proud .
Metan : Again .
I stood up and took a deep breath.
And threw chain blades at him .
Metan just deflected them and they fell to the ground but I made the chains bound to his legs and pulled him down to earth .
From above a spike fell with a high velocity . But he blocked it with a thick sheild and the spike pierced halfway through .
He threw both the shield and spike on the side . And broke the chains binding his feet . As he stood up he was met with a launch pad launching him up in the air .
Jay synthesized sharp. metal disc and threw them at high velocity and torque . And they became spinning saws of death .
To which the airborne master replied with his own metal disc . The both with high velocity shredded each other into pieces .
While Metan safely retreated to the ground .
Metan :
Your quick thinking is impressive.
You. should throw these blades one directly towards the opponent and one from behind . It gives them less space to work .
Jay : Yes sir I got it .
Metan :
I hereby conclude this sparring session .
Jay : Thank you for your teachings . Master Metan .
And the sparring session was concluded .
Metan :
You need more work on your metal magic . Remember metal is not fluid like other elements.
It resembles the strong , proud , adamant and the fearless .
Such a gift is hard to master but can be overcome with diligence .
The strongest metal bender
The Man of Steel . Went with the exact rigorous process.
McElroy : Hey I'm back .
McElroy saw Jay listening to the teachings of an old guy . Diligently
McElroy:
Who's this .
Metan :
Greetings My name is Metan I am a practitioner of metal magic .
Jay :
Are you done with preparation on your end .
McElroy :
I bought accessories which will be useful to us . I think .
And they have responded . We are leaving day after tomorrow. To Frontera estate.
Jay :
Okay.
Metan :
Frontera estate you mean , you are going to fight the demons .
Jay :
No we are tasked with escorting a caravan to the estate .
Metan :
Things are about to go very sour there . I recommend to deny the request .
Jay :
I can't we have already accepted the request.
Metan :
You're going to be killed with your skill at metal magic .
You're leaving day after tomorrow correct, then we must train .
I cannot see such an excellent pupil like you get killed on that bloody battlefield .
Jay :
Is the situation there that bad .
Metan :
Things are grave indeed . Come now we must not waste any time .
