Chapter 11 School Festival pt.1

It had been decided by the school body that this years school festival was going to be held beside, on and in the lake. For the festival the school had invited many a number of people from around the world and the students family. This was done both to attract more students and show off the fact that this was the best school in the world as well as to say if we said we were the second best no-one would claim first.

As Daedalus arrived at the entrance to the area he began looking around. Seeing the grand look of the festival Daedalus could not help but think 'Show offs.' He then considered his armour and looked around, there was a crowd looking at his armour in wonder and shock at its craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Daedalus seeing the crowd could not help but smirk pridefully, before suddenly he felt a blunt object collide with his helmet. Due to the ringing in his ears Daedalus quickly began to feel nauseous and began stumbling forward before being held up.

Turning Daedalus could see a grinning Gram, holding him up by the neck of his armour. Setting Daedalus down Gram said "Stop with that prideful smirk or you will get arrogant."

"Don't worry I am just a bit proud because of my masterpiece." Daedalus said happily.

"Ok but if you do become arrogant then I will beat it out of you. Nice armour by the way." Gram replied half serious and half joking.

The two then began to walk towards the lake where they decided to part ways after chatting about training and some magic.

Arriving at a sign-up area for a number of contests and challenges Daedalus began to look through the events. Among the numerous events Daedalus saw, the Talent show which would allow the audience themselves to judge the participants rather than a group of judges. There were other contest he saw as well but Daedalus mainly liked the look of this one in particular, only one other got his interest and that was the blacksmith contest, the contestants would get five hours to make any item or items they want and the person who made the best quality item would get a prize of 12 kg of meteorite.

Daedalus ended up signing up for the blacksmith contest and the talent show. The first of the two would be the blacksmith contest that would start in thirty minutes. So Daedalus walked over to the area that the blacksmith contest would take place before finding a spot and sitting down.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

After waiting thirty minutes all the contestants had arrived and found a spot to sit at. The announcer then spoke saying "Now that everyone is here please gather your materials from beside me in these boxes or use the metal you have brought with!"

Daedalus quickly reacted by opening a back compartment on his armour, where he pulled out all of his forging equipment and a few materials which included the wood Ebony and his new alloy Uru, one being a medium grey and the other like the pitch black void.

He the began to forge.
