Chapter 1059: Myrth: 29

(Unedited)

…

Xin Ja's room…

On a sheet of paper in front of him, Xin Ja began thinking about what kind of thing would he wanted to create. He has already crafted his folding stone sword, rune array flags, and needles made of soft iron. These things are a bit troublesome to make at that time and yet he successfully created them. But as he used them over and over again in this one year, they began to show the wear and tear effect.

Although his folding stone blade would always undergo repairs and maintenance every day, it still did not escape being worn out especially its main parts. The handle which is the hardest to create is already showing some kind of breaking. While the string made from a beast's strong tendon is also showing tear signs.

He knew that if he did not change his gears, then he would be having some real problems in the future.

.

"So, what I really needed is a blade…" he muttered.

One of the things that he made is a fountain pen. When he saw it on one of the learning stuff from his unique vision, Xin Ja quickly tried to create a pen, but it was a bit of a struggle. Accidentally after experimenting a bit, he created a fountain pen.

And so, from that moment on, he began using the fountain pen in writings and drawings.

As he thinks of a way to create a new weapon, he began going through the weapons that he saw in the data he had seen. In fact, there are thousands of weapons that he saw in there but he is unable to create them at the moment.

And since Faragrite metal stone is not easy to mold and manipulate, he would need a weapon that is handy, light, and easy to craft.

He began to think deeply… a weapon suddenly appears in his mind. It was a thin one-side blade of about 20-inches long. That would be an ideal length for him to be able to create a perfect blade without straining himself and the Faragrite metal stone.

After drafting, it was like he became familiar with the weapon on hand. However, Xin Ja added something to the blade. He did not want to use his own energy to power the blade, so he added a slot on the handle of the sword. This slot would be able to add Ki to the blade.

Then he also designed a trigger for the blade handle. This trigger would enable him to tap on the Ki energy of the blade which would make the weapon sharper and stronger.

It was already nighttime when he finished drawing his draft and his father knocks on his door.

With a sweep of his hand, the papers and the fountain pen were swept from the table.

"Son… Can I come in?" Xin Jong asked.

"Yes, Papa…" Xin Ja replied.

After entering the room, Xin Jong sat behind the table and thought for a while.

"Son… Master Wang… I mean teacher Wang was here. He… He told me something really interesting." Xin Jong said while looking at his son's reaction.

"Something interesting?..." Xin Ja asked with squinted eyes.

"Yes… you see…" Xin Jong began to relate to Xin Ja what Master Wang told him about the upcoming special enrolment for the Ogden Academy students.

When Xin Ja heard this he showed a complicated expression on his face. He is still uncomfortable around people. Heck… even inside the manor, he would not talk to anyone. He would not even want any people around him for that matter. So how could he get into school?

"Son… I know your concern… But… But you cannot live your life like this. Sooner or later, you would still go out in the society and mingle with others…" Xin Jong said with a worried expression.

"There is still time for you to overcome your fear with people. I will do all I can to help, okay?" Xin Jong added as he stood up and patted his son's shoulder.

Xin Ja did not answer and bit his lip. He actually did not know if he really could face others or that he could mingle with other people, but his father is right. No matter what he still would need to go out there and have a life of his own.

Upon thinking to this point, Xin Ja nodded his head. Then suddenly, he remembers something. In fact, he has overheard this kind of humor around the town lately. His name, Xin Ja, is famous for being the fool and the trash of the Xin manor.

People would criticize and mock his father behind his back because of this. If he truly introduces himself as Xin Ja in the outside world, then that would surely gain him too much attention and further ire from others. So no, he could not carry the name Xin Ja in the outside world. He should find a new name for himself.

And one particular name surfaced in his mind.

"Umm… Papa… Can… Can you change my name if ever I go to school?" Xin Ja said looking a bit embarrassed.

"Change your name? Why? Don't you want to carry the Xin family name?" Xin Jong asked with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.

Although the Xin clan dishonored him and kick him out, yet inside his heart, he is still a proud member of the Xin clan. He could not deny his roots, and he is proud to be a Xin.

So after hearing such a word from his own son, the heart of Xin Jong feels a bit hurt.

"No… Papa, you know that I carry shame in my name. If ever people heard about me, they would mock me and also mock you. I don't want that… Please… Just change my name to Jiao." Xin Ja said.

Xin Jong thought for a while and looks at his son.

"So in school, you wanted to be called, Xin Jiao?" Xin Jong asked seriously.

Xin Ja nodded.

"Sigh… alright. I will make sure that this will be handled properly." He said with a slight frown.

"No… Papa, just give me a recommendation letter, I will enroll by myself. This way your name would not be criticized by anyone." Xin Ja said.

Xin Jong did not reply and just nods his head.

…

The next day, Xin Ja busied himself crafting the new blade that he designed.

It took him a while to craft as the Faragrite metal stone is a tough material. So for the whole day, he slowly refined and crafted the short sword.

Meanwhile, in another huge manor in the town, in Old Wang's room, one explosion after another could be heard. Old Wang busied himself in crafting a device that would reverse pure Ki into chaotic Ki. He needed to finish the device before the enrolment comes, that way his student would be able to hide his true talent from the world.

Later that night, Xin Ja is once again busy drawing something. After the whole day of crafting the sword, Xin Ja realized that it would be possible for him to create a far more intricate design other than swords by using the remaining Faragrite metal stone.

And so, he began to busy himself with creating the most basic and simple design of a weapon that he saw in the unique vision. In fact, he tried making such a weapon before, but rocks and soft metal are unable to hold the power of such weapons.

So he waited for his strength to increase so that he would be able to manipulate stronger ores. Now that he is able to manipulate the Faragrite metal stone which is one of the strongest metals, he is confident that the weapon would be successful.

When using rocks combined with soft metal, Xin Ja's hand was almost blasted when he tried the weapon. The blast was too powerful to contain using simple materials. And so he plans to combine a couple of stronger materials to create a perfect container for such energy.

He would need the body of the weapons to be sturdy and strong enough which would be able to hold the compressed Ki energy.

So far, he discovered that aside from the Faragrite metal stone, he needed some parts of some beasts.  And those parts are already in his stash, except for two materials which are hard to come by.

One of them is an ice dragon's scale, and the other one is the rare metallic frost ore.

The ice dragon scale would be used for cooling, while the metallic frost ore would be used as a separator or enclosure to prevent the whole weapon from heating up.

But of course, before looking for those materials, he would need to create the design first. And so on the paper, a particular weapon began to take form and this one is something that he has taken a liking ever since he saw it for the first time in the unique vision.

As someone who is weak and powerless, Xin Ja has dreamed of having such a weapon someday. And now while drawing it, he could not help but put on a smile on his face.

"Alright… it's finished. Hmm… I will call this Ki Buster."
