Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: Sword

Next day, Yuri was on his way to his class. As always, he doesn't like it. He is already 21 year old, although he didn't managed to finished until graduation of collage, he knows how to take care of things.

'I don't wanna go but for the sake of knowledge about this world and wisdom about magics...'

On his way, he rememberd the purple glowing ore that he take from those guys judt a day ago. Thus, he decided to skip class for just a day. 

He goes back to his dorm, jump fron the trees there and then from the tallest tree, he jumped over the tower wall "Finally...."

The wall is atleast 50, making for a normal human to climb it straight up.

After landing to the ground, he lift up the head cover of his black ragged cloak, hides his katana inside and then continue his way to the old blacksmith.

Inside the academy, in the classroom where Flynn, Thalia, Aila and Leonn is currently at, a teacher entered "Alright, Let's start the class." He has a little bit of mustache, a long hair and a crisp, neat clothing. 

All of the students fixed their posture of seating, quietly and it stays like that.

"Hello, My name is Dan Puresteel, I'm sure you guys already knew or heard my surename from somewhere or someone. Because i have a younger brother here and he is also a professor! Dylan Puresteel! Wa Ha Ha Ha" He started on introducing himself, and ended it with a funny laughter as to lighten up the mood.

All of them then awkwardly laugh just to get along with the professor.

"I'm gonna start the attendance now, Seven Apple."

"Present!"

"Lourd Alexander"

"Present!"

"And lastly, Yuri Sworde"

No answered can be heard from the students and it stays like that for a couple more second, 

"Yuri Sworde" He repeat, but still no one answered "Looks like we have an absent..."

"Tssk...."

"He's not here?"

"He's lucky, that motherfucker"

Some of the noble students says, as they all scoffed off after finding out that Yuri is not in class.

'...' Meanwhile, the professor just looked at the name of the absent student, as if planning something.

***

Inside an Inn, there are fewer people as it is still morning. All of the people are sitting far away from each other, in every corner of the inn.

While Yuri was sitting on the middle, alone, a waiter go to him and asked "What do you want sir?"

"Anything that can be eat." He said then throw a gold coin to the guy.

"W-woah! This is enough to buy a 10 sets of our special! Please wait sir, i'll bring it all to you!" the young man said, while hurriedly running inside the kitchen.

'Let's have a breakfast first, I'm getting hungry'

A few minutes later....

A huge amount of meat, rice, lobster and other delicous meal was preparef infront of Yuri. He grabbed a knife and a fork, and then dig in.

While eating, a couple guys, who looks like bandits suddenly came to his table.

"Woah! can you even eat that lil' man?" The firat guy said, putting his arm on Yuri's shoulder.

Yuri don't want his food to get wasted by the blood of the fools by cutting their heads off and getting they're blood splashed on his food.

Thus, he stand up, push all the guys so that he can cut all of they're heads at the same time when they fall to the ground and his food will not get dirty with extra disgusting flavors.

He cut off their heads, causing for it to flew on the air.

"What was that?!" The owner of the Inn suddenly appeared

"!"

Shocked by the horrific scene, he puked all of the food he ate for breakfast.

'I witnessed all kinds of trouble in my life as an owner of this Inn but this.....!'

"Bleugh!!"

He thought and continued to let all of the food out of him.

'...' Meanwhile, Yuri just stand there, looking at the scene he just caused. 

After a few seconds, he turned around and then go back to the table and continue eating his food.

***

Clang!

The sound of the gold coins, flicked by Yuri's thumb and index finger flew towards the owner of the Inn. He threw five gold coins to be exact.

"For the trouble." He said and then leave the Inn after finishing his meal.

Thankfully, all of the people there already leave after the scene occured, so no one was hurt except for the guys that bothered him "Don't spread rumors." he added and continue his way out.

An hour later, he finally get to the location where he wanted to be.

"Hm? who is-- !" The old owner said as he hurriedly stand up from sitting on the old wooden chair. "Welcome! Anything I can help you with today?" He greeted Yuri with a soft smile on his face.

Nothing strange there, he barely got any customer.

"I have this interesting ore, I was wondering if you can turn this into a sword." Yuri started as he took out the dark stone that has a lingering purple color.on it's cracks.

"A Purple ore?" The old man said, looking at the ore Yuri put on his table. "You know about it?" Yuri asked.

"There are many types of ore, and this type of ore is Very rare." The old man started.

There are seven types of colored ore.

White ore

Yellow ore

Orange ore

Green ore

Purple ore

Red ore

Black ore

"The White to Green ore are considered to be rare while the Purple ore is considered to be Very rare that it very hard to find even if you searh a whole mountain for months."

"Meanwhile, The Red to Black ore are so hard to find, it made the Purple ore looked it is the most rarest one because last two is not even known by most blacksmith because they don't even know if it existed."

"Each ore has a level up to three, it is based on how much darker the color of the ore and how strong the mana is it emitting. Based on the looks of it, it seems like it is level 2."

Yuri was just listening to the old man, while his eyes were focused on the ore he just found. He was fascinated inside his head but it didn't look like outside as he just havr a very neutral look on his face.

The old man looks very excited while explaining this to Yuri, as if he never seen this type of ore before.

"So... can you turn it into a sword?" Yuri continued the conversation. "Of course but, do you really want me to do the honor of crafting a sword with this very rare material?" The hesitant old man asked.

"I don't care. As long as you can make it into a sword, that's all i need." He answered.

"... Thank you. I will do my very best to create the sword that will fit you. Is there a type of sword that you want me to create using this? Or do you have a design in mind?" The old answered, with a look of determination on his face.

"Here." Yuri took a tolled.paper inside his coat, unroll it and then showed the design of thw sword he wants.

"A Dual edged sword?" A Jian to be exact.

It is a dual edged sword, a sword type from china.

"Yes. I don't care if you are gonna design it. Just make it sharp and tough." He said, "Got it. I am gonna need about 8 to 10 days to finish it." Although long, it is gonna be enough before his duel that's gonna happen in two weeks.

"Alright." Yuri then dropped 10 gokd coin on the table and then immediatly leave. 9"Oka- wait! I said it was free when we last met!"

Although the old man shouts, he didn't the door of his shop open again because Yuri was already on his way to go.back to the academy.

***

About 200 km away from the kingdom of Auraville, inside the building that looks like a hide out of an organization, there was a big fat man sitting in a fancy sofa. He has a broad sword on the side of the sofa, along with the womens on his both arms.

"What did you just say?" He says to the man that was kneeling infront on him.

"U-uhmm... All of the guys that we send to rob the carriage of the noble family has been missin-"

"I heard you the first time!" He shouts, throwing his big sword.to the guy, killing him immediatly.

"Another problem to deal with. Who is the bastard that dares to fuck this up?"

"I knoe who it is, leader." Suddenly, there was a man who entered his room. He knelt right beside the corpse of his comrade and then look at the man sitting the big sofa.
