"In this subject, you will learn how to use your power in many special ways. That's why this is called Special Topic subject," pahayag ng aming guro.

Professor Belindel Flame.

"We will particularly focus on Armament Smithing. It's a technique which allows you to create weapons using your power," nakangiti niyang sabi na nagbigay sa amin ng interes. "I'm a fire elemist, but I can have an attack like this." May pinakita siyang bilog na bagay at ibinato sa itaas. Lahat kami ay napatingin dito.

"ARMAMENT RELEASE!" Namangha kami nang bigla itong naging ipo-ipo.

"That was an air type attack. You see? It's very handy and will really save you from many situations."

"Professor Belindel, whose attack was that from?" tanong ng isa naming kaklase.

"That armament is owned by the school, so I guess it's from Professor Katarina Robinway's prowess."

"So, you mean we can have a lot of armaments as long as there are elemists willing to make them for us?"

"That's right. But, strong elemists usually don't need this thing because they can already rely on their power. The limitations are only two: not everyone can perform Armament Smithing, and the the tool being used is not just simple, they are quite expensive."

"You mean not everyone of us is capable of that?"

"Might be true, might be not. That's why we must have thorough trainings and serious practice."

"Can you explain it to us further?"

"Of course, that's my job. As I said, not everyone is capable of smithing, only selected few powerful elemists can forge their power into a weapon. Most of them are coming from royal families." We nod in unison, waiting for further explanation.

"Look at this. This golden sphere is a high rate tool and so this one is expensive. I'm telling you this because I want you to remember that there are two factors to be considered in Armament Smithing in terms of its impact. First is the tool; the higher its rate, the higher power level it can absorb. Next is the powersmith elemist, the one who is forging an armament; the stronger he is, the better." Tahimik lang naming sinusundan ang paliwanag ni Professor Bilendel. I didn't expect this subject to be this interesting.

"FIRE BREATH" Napanganga kami nang nagpalabas siya ng malaking apoy.

"ARMAMENT LOCK!" Itinapon niya ang sinasabi niyang golden sphere kung nasaan ang apoy. Agad nawala ang apoy, or not. Kinain ng sphere ang apoy!

"Ngayon ay nasa loob na nitong golden sphere ang atakeng ginawa ko kanina. You only have to say the techniques, 'Armament Lock' to seal the power and 'Armament Release' to unseal it. " Napatango-tango na lang kaming lahat.

"I guess that lecture would be enough for today. You can now take your break. Just be back this afternoon for your actual training."

Nandito kami ngayon sa dining hall at tulad ng dati nakisabay sa amin si Nicholas, siguro lahat kami ay magaan na ang loob sa kanya. Hindi naman kasi siya mahirap pakisamahan.

"Hey Nicholas! Are you capable of Armament Smithing?" Natawa ako dahil kanina pa talaga interested si France sa Armament Smithing. Sabi niya dapat maraming Armament ang makolekta niya.

"I don't know, I didn't attend my Special Topic class during my first year." Pinaningkitan siya ni France.

"Such an irresponsible student."
