Hearing those words, Young Master Lux's face hardened and said, "You say that I cannot pull this sword out?"
The sword in the statue was a product of Ravenray Blacksmith's work. Although it couldn't be ranked as one of the bests, it was still better since it's fitted to students as well. However, the problem was the difficulty in pulling the sword out of the statue's grip. Many geniuses tried their luck but it was for naught. No one had ever pulled this sword out of the statue.
Thus, First Student Blacksmith role was still empty up to now. Of course, it didn't affect the ranking system of the academy. The title itself was like an additional prestigious title for the aspiring blacksmiths who'd be able to pull the sword out.
Young Master Lux had practiced hard and spent so many hours researching methods to pull swords out. It took him a few months to a year before having confidence in succeeding. After all, he already failed in the past and he couldn't afford to fail again. Although it wasn't a big deal, the old master might turn this a big deal if he failed for the second time around.
Yet, Jin Rou was telling him it wasn't enough? He was angry but he was calming his emotions down. Nothing good would happen if he let his emotions run rampant.
"Yes, you are still unqualified to pull this sword." Jin Rou was speaking out of goodwill. He could easily deduce the young master's capabilities and its extent. Although the other party was truly a brilliant person and had a successful future, he was still unqualified for the meantime, "Try again after you reach Curse Breaking stage in smithing."
In Blacksmithing, there were certain stages that aspiring blacksmiths needed to go under. Primary Stage, Secondary Stage, Essence Stage, Curse Breaking Stage, and finally, Blacksmith. Of course, there were still more stages after becoming a blacksmith but it could be discussed later on.
In the Curse Breaking stage, the aspirant was now capable of breaking the curse of the sword. In this world, a curse was always lingering around the birthing swords thus an aspirant must know how to break them or else the smithing would become a failure. Furthermore, the expenses for the materials would be all for naught.
Everyone was displeased more when they heard Jin Rou's words. Wasn't he belittling the talents of the young master too much? As Lux was quite popular with the crowd like Silver Knight, Jin Rou was immediately bombarded with mean words and the like.
But the target of the curses wasn't affected in the very least. As a matter of fact, Jin Rou's expression was so relaxed as if he couldn't hear the malicious words and insults coming from the crowd.
"Why do I need to be at the Curse Breaking when I can do it now when I'm just in Secondary?" It took several deep breaths for Lux to calm down, "My master said that it's enough to reach this stage to qualify to pull the sword. Are you saying that my master is lying to me?"
"I don't know who your master is but I can pretty say he's much stupid to say such words." Jin Rou chuckled, "If you really want to push it, go on and try. But don't blame me for what consequences lie ahead."
"My master isn't stupid and I'll show it to you." Hearing his master being insulted like that, how could Lux sit still? He walked past Jin Rou determined to prove him wrong, "I will show you what I'm capable of."
It was obvious. This mortal was looking down on him and he needed to do something about it or else he'd be looked down over and over with his master.
Jin Rou sneered. He didn't care about this guy failing so he let him be. Goldenchild was nervous as hell as spoke, "Hey, are your words true?"
Goldenchild was good in telling between truths and lies, so he was greatly confused. Jin Rou was speaking the truth with confidence and he had no doubt about it. He was just confused why Lux was also telling the truth.
Jin Rou didn't look at him but he answered, "It's because the difference in our truths. My truth and that Lux's truth are two dimensions very far away from each other. Simply put, my truth is the heavens while his truth was the earth."
"I can still understand." Goldenchild shook his head, "But did it mean that Lux has the capability of pulling the sword right now?"
Jin Rou wanted to smack Goldenchild right now for not analyzing such simple analogy. In the end, he still explained, "What will happen when two truths clashed against each other?"
Goldenchild felt like he was enlightened and answered, "One will look like a lie despite being a truth?"
"Smart." Jin Rou praised. Finally, Goldenchild got the gist of his words, "Just watch. You'll eventually know the answers to your questions."
Lux was slowly approaching the statue. Every step he made was akin to another boulder in his shoulder. Despite that, he still continued onwards. Finally, he was in the front of the great statue of Ravenray. He bowed his head and said, "I am Lux Arcania of the Bluist Race. I will be trying my luck to be worthy of your sword. So please pardon me."
It was always a show of respect to introduce one's self and the intention before doing something. And the academy was pushing this routine through so that future knights and blacksmiths of their academy would know how to show respect to the statues with great meaning.
Then, Lux closed his eyes and took several breaths. He was nervous but it wouldn't make him back down, not now that he had come this far. Soon, he opened his eyes with determination and exploded his aura around making strong winds scattered in all directions.
Afterwards, Lux held the sword firmly and activated his strength in an all out move.
"Ah!" And as he was about to pull the sword, countless dark worm energies swarmed through his arms and entered his body along with his horrifying scream.
