Clang!
"Fuuuuh..."
Clang!
"Fuuu..."
Clang!
Metalic sounds clashing to each other echoed across the huge but simple workshop every second.
"Fuuuuu..."
A man holding a not so huge nor well designed hammer was continuously slamming his hammer down on a black and curious sword blade in front of him.
Clang!
Sparks are flying near him every time his hammer makes contact with the blade.
Clang!
His hammering was neither strong nor weak, and he's precisely striking the black blade to specific spaces and parts of it.
But it's to be noted that from the other's point of view, he's just carelessly and aimlessly hammering the blade in front of him.
Clang!
"Fuuuuuh..."
The man is taking deep breathes between the time of the clashing sounds to maintain his concentration and his consciousness.
Swaaah-!
His concentration is indeed admirable as it seems like he's not feeling nor even seeing the raging fire from the huge blast furnace in front of him that wants to engulf him!
Swaaaooh-
And soon the fire did reached him and made contact to his body!
But contrary to what would really happen in normal circumstances, the man didn't get burned.
Instead, the blood colored fire was absorbed by the man and it gently scattered throughout his whole body and next to his hammer!
Clang-!
The fire seems to give the man more energy and the fire in the hammer made it much easier for him to reform the material in front of him.
"I can see it..."
Clang!
The man muttered and hammered the black blade again, his voice was rather dry and there are dark circles under his eyes, indicating his tiredness and lack of sleep.
And that man is Tyrone Vulcan!
He's currently in the last phase of making Raven's sword blade!
"I can see it..."
Clang!
Tyrone mumbled again.
"I can see where I should hit..."
He muttered unconsciously, he's currently in a deep trance!
"I can tell how strong my strike should be..."
Clang!
He added.
"And I can see that I'm almost finish..."
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
...
[Vulcan's POV]
"Done..."
I weakly muttered as my energy is almost at its limit.
"I'm finally done!"
My voice then got louder and hapiness erupted from me after seeing the black shining sharp katana blade in my hands.
I've been hammering the mysterious mineral Raven gave me for these past 4 days, only stopping to eat and rest a little.
I worked non-stop because Raven need it by tomorrow and I want to fulfill his mission at least to return the favor I greatly own him.
I wasn't able to get a single minute of sleep in that time.
Well, I fell asleep countless times while standing but only for seconds.
And what else, I wasn't able to take a bath!
Looking at the countless vial of mana and stamina potion near me, an exhausted smile crept up on my face.
I bought a lot of them when Raven gave me the money for the commission of his weapon and for the upgrade of his gun.
I don't know about gunsmithing so I only made a small adjustment to Raven's [Nyx] and it only took me half a day to do it.
But making Raven's sword is a different matter, I made a lot of swords before so I know what I'm doing, and I don't like half-assing my work so I poured everything on making it.
The material Raven gave me is a lot sturdier from any other material I had handled my whole life!
I might not be even able to scratch it without the skill and artifact I recieved from my papa...
A bitter smile appeared on my face after remembering my papa.
But then, I shook my head and grabbed a sword handle that's on the table beside me.
Raven gave me the material himself too for this sword handle.
He said it's from a King Wolf? Dunno what the hell is that, anyway, the sword handle is made with the King Wolf's bone and skin so it's red with embroidered white crescent moon on each side.
And with that, I combined the sword handle and the sword blade to finally and really finish my work.
Then, a beautiful black katana was born at that time.
I'm really happy and satisfied with the result of making Raven's sword and upgrading his [Nyx].
"Now, I just need to send this to him and I can finally rest..."
I weakly mumbled.
'Raven said that after finishing... I should call the number he gave me and make them deliver the sword and [Nyx] to him as they are trusted.'
I thought and shrugged, I grabbed my phone and took out a small papel from my pocket.
"Oh shoot, I almost burned it."
I said with a frown as the paper was almost burned, luckily the written phone number was still visible.
So with that, I dialed the number Raven gave.
I don't know what to do anymore as I'm tired as hell.
Ringgggg- Ringgggggg–
Kachak-
And just after a second, someone answered.
-This is Velcro, who is this?
And someone spoke from the other side of the line.
***
Friday, <4:00 A.M>.
The day before the start of the assessment test.
...
"I missed you!"
-Kyuuuu!
Raven immediately but gently embraced Yuki as soon as she entered Raven's dorm.
Raven got a signal through his link with Yuki that she will be coming back so he waited for her.
Well, not just waited really, Raven prepared a huge chunk of roasted red wolf's meat and some <F+> monster cores just for Yuki!
"I'm sorry for giving you such a difficult mission..."
Raven said as he pats Yuki continuously.
-Kyuu!
Yuki shook her head as a response, wanting to say it's not that difficult.
Raven smiled as he understood what Yuki wants to say.
"I'm so lucky to have you."
Raven stated.
And after playing with Yuki for some minutes, Raven's face became a bit more serious.
"Anyway, can I see what you got?"
He asked Yuki.
-Kyu!
And Yuki immediately replied proudly.
She opened his beak widely and soon a white vortex came out from it.
Thud-
Then with a dull sound, a small camera on size of a eyeball fell on the floor.
"Ohhhhh..."
Raven then picked up that camera and looked at it as if it was a treasure.
"Do you want to come check it with me or do you want to eat first?"
Raven asked Yuki as he stood up.
Yuki looked at her food for a second before flying toward Raven and landing on his right shoulder.
-Kyuu!
Raven smiled and connected the camera to his V.D.
"Let's see how great of a spy you are Yuki."
-Kyuu!

[Raven's POV]
"So just like in the original story, Ervin is not that deeply involved."
I muttered with blood shot eyes.
I watched the 30 hours video that Yuki recorded, or to be precise, I skimmed through the video and only watched the highlights where Sean is actually doing something in the video.
And at the end part, the latest part of the video.
I saw Barry and Sean having a conversation about the assasins they sent to kill my family.
"As I expected... They should be deleted in this world."
I mumbled with enraged voice.
But based on their conversation, it looks like they failed.
'As expected of my parents, they're not normal and easy targets.'
But that's not what angers me the most, it's that one of their targets is Nisha.
Nisha, unlike me and our parents is just a normal kid.
I appraised Nisha's stats before, checking if she's somewhat not normal too.
But aftee checking, it turns out she's just a normal kid.
Well, at least for now as I don't know what's happening in our bloodline.
Then...
"Huuuu..."
I took a deep breathe to calm myself down.
And just promised myself to pay Barry and Sean for what they did 2 fold!... Or maybe much more!
Then I focused on the last scene I saw from the video Yuki recorded.
The secret vault or safe behind an ugly portrait of Sean.
"I assume that that's where he hides his disgusting hobby of him..."
Rage erupted inside me again as I gnashed my teeth tightly together.
'Tonight... I'll move tonight.'
I thought.
I stood up from wheren I am and started to get ready for today's classes.
"Just you wait... Sean and friends."
