"Don't be like that, master! I still have a lot to learn from your rich experiences as a blacksmith!" Heracles said after hearing his master.
At the next moment, Heiden said to Heracles, "I am just stating a fact! Anyway, show me what you got! Although I am very impressed by all the works that you have here, I still want to see how you forge a weapon! Now, use another mixture of ores! I'm sure you read that forging is not just about creating weapons! We are also responsible for creating accessories! Show this master of yours how you would create an 18k gold alloy into a bracelet!"
Before Alexander could even reply, another notification from his system suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
[You have received a new main quest from the system!]
"I received another main quest, master! Let me check it first!" said Heracles at the next moment. After hearing his master's affirmation, he shouted, "System, show me my new main quest at once!"
[Congratulations on learning how to forge a sword! Now, it's time for you to take a higher step in the world of blacksmithing!
~ Forge twenty swords!
~ In addition, you also need to forge five accessories!
~ Lastly, you need to forge one armor!
~ You need to use at least five different alloys to forge all the requirements!
~ If you finished this quest, you will receive two skills!
~ You will also receive 500 experience points!
~ Additionally, the system will give you a hundred free skill points!
~ You have two months to finish all the requirements of the quest!
~ If you cannot finish this quest, twenty of your stats will be reduced randomly!]
"I received a mission to forge a lot of stuff, master!" Heracles said to his master. "Show me the details at once, my disciple! Just tell your system to make your main quest information visible to my eyes!" said Heiden at the next moment.
After Heracles did those things, Heiden looked at the information of his main quest with fascination. He said to his student at the next moment, "Based on your skill, you will be able to finish this quest a month tops! You can start forging 10 swords for now as I watch!"
"I will do as you say, master!" Heracles said with excitement. At the next moment, Heiden turned his attention toward his daughter. He said to her, "Go and immediately get all the metallurgy books in our house! I will stay here to teach Heracles how to improve his skills!"
"I will depart at once, Dad!" said Shirley before leaving his side at once. "Where did Shirley go?" Heracles asked Heiden upon seeing her leave. "I just asked her for an errand. I will tell you some advice as you go through the forging process! Demonstrate everything that you know to me!" said Heiden with a serious expression.
"Okay!" Heracles said before entering his focus mode. Upon seeing his expression, Heiden only thought to himself, 'This disciple of mine is really something else! He became even more focused than I do when I am in the middle of forging a weapon! Let us see what he got!'
After taking a long breath, Heracles suddenly shouted, "INFERNO BLAZE!"
At the next moment, a black flame suddenly came bursting out of his palm. Heracles has been pushed a little aback after he conjured that spell. 'It's a lot stronger than my Fiery Flame! Well, there's no use getting surprised! I am going to start the forging process now!' Heracles thought to himself.
He was able to return to his former state in just a matter of a moment. Upon seeing this, Heiden thought to himself, 'He really used an Epic-tier skill to start the fire! Also, that kid's mental capabilities recovered from a shock that fast! What a gem that I found! I want to refine him until he reaches his fullest potential!'
At that very moment, Heracles began the forging process with no delay. As he went through the process, Heiden would always give him some advice when he finds faults with him.
"You added too much carbon! Add another some iron ores to balance it!"
"You need to wait for a few minutes to cool down that incomplete weapon! Don't be so impatient!"
"Use more strength! It will not break if you use more strength!"
Upon hearing the last instruction of his master, Heracles thought to himself, 'I am already using my full strength! Oh yeah! I still have that option!'
With that in his mind, Heracles shouted, "System! Put 15 free skill points to my strength stats! Put the rest to my Dexterity stats!"

At the next moment, Heracles immediately started smashing the sword he was forging. Upon seeing his disciple's action, Heiden thought to himself, 'He used the right amount of force! He is using the right amount of strength to not break it! His instinct as a blacksmith is so sharp! No wonder the great god has given him a Sword Vulcan system!'
Without any hesitation, Heracles continued pounding and pounding until he could finish his job. He didn't hesitate on starting to sharpen the sword to avoid any delay. Heiden watched him do his job without finding any fault. After sharpening the sword, Heracles couldn't help but happily raise the sword with excitement.
"You have done a good job! Now, forge a new sword again! We will use this chance to perfect your ability to forge a steel sword!" Heiden said with a smile. "I will do as you say, master!" said Prince Heracles with great excitement.
Before they knew it, Shirley arrived after doing her errand. To her surprise. She said to Heracles, "You already finished forging two swords while I am gone!? How are you this fast on learning to forge!?"
"Of course, he is fast! He is my favorite student, after all! Now, start creating another one! I will practice your ass off while I am here!"
