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 troubleso to make at that ti 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 so 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 so 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 experinting a bit, he created a fountain pen.
And so, from that mont 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 mont.
And since Faragrite tal 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 tal stone.
After drafting, it was like he beca familiar with the weapon on hand. However, Xin Ja added sothing 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 nightti 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 co 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 an teacher Wang was here. He… He told sothing really interesting." Xin Jong said while looking at his son's reaction.
"Sothing 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 enrolnt 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 ti for you to overco 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 rembers sothing. In fact, he has overheard this kind of humor around the town lately. His na, 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 na Xin Ja in the outside world. He should find a new na for himself.
And one particular na surfaced in his mind.
"Umm… Papa… Can… Can you change my na if ever I go to school?" Xin Ja said looking a bit embarrassed.
"Change your na? Why? Don't you want to carry the Xin family na?" 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 mber 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 sha in my na. If ever people heard about , they would mock and also mock you. I don't want that… Please… Just change my na 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 a recomndation letter, I will enroll by myself. This way your na 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 tal stone is a tough material. So for the whole day, he slowly refined and crafted the short sword.
anwhile, 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 enrolnt cos, 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 sothing. 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 tal 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 tal 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 tal stone which is one of the strongest tals, he is confident that the weapon would be successful.
When using rocks combined with soft tal, 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 tal stone, he needed so parts of so beasts. And those parts are already in his stash, except for two materials which are hard to co by.
One of them is an ice dragon's scale, and the other one is the rare tallic frost ore.
The ice dragon scale would be used for cooling, while the tallic 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 sothing that he has taken a liking ever since he saw it for the first ti in the unique vision.
As soone who is weak and powerless, Xin Ja has dread of having such a weapon soday. 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."
