"WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY BELL!?" He heard.

(YN) turned around and saw a small girl.

Bell : Goddess Hestia, dont get it wrong. (YN)-
(YN) : Sup.
Bell : Agreed to train me.
??? : Is that so. Im Hestia the Goddes of hearth, nice too meet you.
(YN) : Im (YN) (LN), likewise goddes Hestia.
Hestia : I dont remember you (YN)...
(YN) : I arrived just today. And came back from dungeon not even two hours ago.
Hestia : You look strong. No wonder some god accepted you in their familia.
Bell : He didnt join yet.
Hestia : Oh... I dont think that he can be a very good trainer then...

(YN) take's off his backpack and show's her Nedeos's horn.
Her eye's widened.

(YN) : Im just a trainer . But results depend on him. I think its getting late. Im going to go back. Our next training will be in the dungeon itself. Until we meet each other again Bell.
Bell : Bye... *falls exhausted*

Later...

(YN) went back to the Inn and spent his night there. On the next morning he met up with the Lokis familia and they went to the blacksmith together.Turns out they were visiting the familia of goddess Hephaestus, a goddess of smiting and craftsmanship. As (YN) was busy observing numerous weapons he heard that someone was tapping on his back. He turned around only to see Finn.

Finn : Did you find something of interest?
(YN) : Hhm, this metal is quite unusual, i could compare it to carbine steel, but the temperature was lower than it shouldve been, hmm. It seems like it could break after a short while. And it's impossible to sharpen it again...
Finn : That's a magical weapon for you.
(YN) : Yeah..
Finn : Do you want to see something incredible?
(YN) : Yes.

Scene change.

(YN) and the Captain of Loki's familia were walking around the forge together, and suddenly someone was tapping the back of his armour. He turned around and looked down only to notice a woman with red hair and eyepatch.

(YN) : Greetings-
Fin : Oh, Lady Hephasteus what a suprise.

(YN) : "WHAT!?What the f-" His thoughts were interrupted.

Hephaestus : What kind of golem is this?

(YN) removed his helmet. It come off with a loud hiss which has startled them. Then he put it under his hand and said.

(YN) : I am (YN) (LN) and i am no golem. Its an honour, goddess Hephaestus.

He said with a slight bow. Her eyes widened for a moment. This armour and blade were, technically perfect. To achieve this perfection one needed to work a single piece of metal for decades, yet the most weird thing was that there was no magic used to make it, only normal tools mortals could use. He then put his helmet back on.

She then turned her attention to the blade that was somehow attached to his back (it is magnetised) The materials that were used to build it were excellent, but the sheer precision it was put together with the sheer quality of its edges, made her doubt for a moment if the man that stood before was truly human, if she couldn't sense she wouldve thought that he was some minor god. But no, just a man. She regained her composure.

Hephaestus : Y-yes it is nice to meet you as well. Did you find anything that you like?

(YN) : Hmmm, these golems of yours are truly remarkable, i would say first time I saw something like that. And of course all the weapons here from a smallest throwing knife to a great sword are crafted by truly skillfull people, the only bad thing is durability but we all know that magical weapons are like that.

Finn nodded in agreement, Hephaestus seemed, relieved. But Finn understands what she thinks, he noticed it as well. (YN) is the best "rookie" pallum has ever met. Both his skill and strength are a marvel for a person who does not rely on exilia to get stronger. In a way he was even jealous a bit. His equipment, was better than even his familia could afford, and it was made by his hands. He knew that he needs to be faster than anyone else and convince him to join his familia or else his presence would tip the scales soon, and he would end up being chased by other gods. Hephaestus already decided to offer him a place within her familia, it was obvious. But also his teacher-pupil relationship with Bell Cranel was a strong factor as well, and Bete the hotheaded wolf-kin might not take the warriors presence well. Still, Finn could take care of Bete, but not some god who wants to improve their status and wealth. "Good thing that he is indecisive and methodical outside combat, or else..." His train of thought was interrupted by Hephaestus, that gestured them to follow. So they did...

Scene change...

They were in the forge now. Finn stood a bit closer to the entrance, while (YN) and the goddess were further inside. Even being a top rank adventurer, Finn could barely stand this heat. Then before (YN) a half dwarf emerged. It was girl, and she introduced herself as Tsubaki Collbrande weird name but okay, for a dwarf that is. Though, it's not the time. Then she started to oggle (YN) about where he got his armour.

(YN) : My armour is of my own making, and my sword is as well.

Tsubaki : R-really?

She stuttered and looked at her goddess. Hephaestus nodded solemnly, which made her eyes go wide.

Tsubaki : I see, let me show you around.

Scene change...

Tsubaki: And this is where our low level smiths practice.

(YN) looked around. And stepped inside the forge, it was not as grand as the main one but I was a good workplace none then less. He turned his attention towards one of the rookies that tried to forgeweld different pieces of metal together. Then the rookie cried out.

"Goddammit I screwed up!"

(YN) walked up to him and looked at what he did. When rookie noticed that someone walked up to him. He turned around and gawked at him. Like most of people met. (YN) looked at the pieces of metal welded together. These were nice pieces of plain iron. He then turned around towards the goddess, and failed to notice that the said rookie slipped away.

(YN) : Lady Hephaestus, if I may use this metal to make some there, I'll pay for it.

She agreed, because she and everyone else wanted to see him working. In exchange hell let her take a closer look at his sword. He turned around and without removing his armour he started to work.

Several hours later...

After melting down the construct, he added a "special ingredient" that allowed him to turn this iron into tool steel, he couldnt do better but that had to suffice. After that he made a singular sheet from it and cut it with plasma cutter, into several pieces 5 by 2 inches, that were 0.5 centimetres thick. After that he forgewelded them together on top of each other forming a slab, of what would be Damascus steel. After the slab cooled down he heated it up and started to change its shape...

Way later...

(YN) didn't notice the flow of time, and others didn't as well. Right now he has tempered the soon to be blade. Now he only needs to make a hilt and give it a monomolecular edge (that means it's edge is one molecule thin, meaning its the sharpest fucking thing possible in nature), but he won't do it here, he has already shown some of his tools (plasma cutter and his hammer) he stored his tools away and turned towards the group. It was already evening, his clock said that it was 21:30 (9:30 PM). He grabbed the soon to be dagger. And walked towards them.

(YN) : I'm sorry for hogging your forge Lady Hephaestus...

He said sheepishly.

Hephaestus : It's fine, watching you work was a delight.

She waved it off, and passed him his sword. He took it and place it on his back allowing it to be magnetised again. Finn just smiled. Then Tsubaki suddenly jumped in, pushing her goddess away.

Tsubaki : Can I see it? Can I see it?

She said like an exited child. So he gave it to her.

(YN) : It's nothing special. Besides you are yet to see its pattern.

Hephaestus : Pattern? You mean it's Damascus steel? You made THIS with a bunch of leftovers.

(YN) : I did. What kind of blacksmith would I be if I could do things like these.

Hephaestus : No, it's just I couldnt expect such quality metal out of, scraps.

(YN) : Metal is metal, Lady Hephaestus.

He said with a shrug.

He then took the unfinished dagger from Tsubaki and followed Finn, they were yet to visit the Hostess of Fertility.
