[PP] [F01] The Blacksmithing Path «Earning a Living»


Recommended Posts

Kiro shook his head in disbelief, unable to find anything in the floor between the bushes that stood tall near him. If anything, his unprotected part of his palm was the one to get injured in the process. The blue-haired child sighed, raising his head to glance to the warrior, noticing that he didn’t get very lucky and didn’t find anything in the end. He rubbed his chin and bit his lip lightly, resting his back on the ground and trying to think of a way to successfully increase the number of materials they were gathering, but nothing came across his mind. The boy shifted into a sitting pose and turned around, looking for items that were most likely a little deeper into the ground by digging into the dirt. “Let’s see if I find anything like this. Hopefully, I do,” he thought to himself with a determined look, beginning the process. However, the deeper he was going, the more obvious it became too him that there was nothing under the ground and that he was most likely wasting his time using this new method. The kid ran away to another spot, signaling the make to follow him. They were going to move on and head deeper inside of the forest.

Cosi clambered back down the tree and once he was a safe distance- okay he was still like 12 feet off the ground but he was a so who gives- from the ground he jumped off of the branch he was standing on and fell earthward. Cosi landed heavily, making sure to bend his knees to absorb some of the impact, and got up to follow Kiro. He looked back and saw that he had actually put footprints a couple inches deep into the ground. He gave a low whistle as he picked up his sword and shield. He slung Rose Gold over his back and buckled his sheath back on. Cosi really wished he could find some more materials. But no dice. There was nothing he could see as he walked. He wished his luck would turn around just long enough to finish this quest. Then he could head up to floor two.

Kiro made it to the next area of the southern forest which seemed to be a very dark place called The deepest part of the Southern Forest. It was a very long name, but that was one of the reasons it made it sound scary to the boy. Once he took the first step inside of this area, he glanced around the area in the attempt of spotting any opponents that would possibly attempt to attack one of the two and force them to run away. The blue-haired child was able to find a single frenzy boar but decided to seek for items first and then head near the beast to defeat it and clear the area for a while until it spawned back. It was very common for monsters to spawn back quickly, but depending on the actions of the players around it, they could slow the process down. The boy made it near a camp of large flowers standing at forty-one inches in height, almost as big as one of the swords that he wanted to request to a blacksmith or that he would make himself. He flashed a gentle smile and walked past them, hoping that they wouldn’t attack him out of nowhere, if possible. The kid looked around once to notice how well the other man was doing, guessing that he would be following him in this yet to be explored area. He approached a garden full of brilliant items and attempted to find anything of use inside of it. Hopefully, this time he would thrive and achieve what he wanted; to complete his quest for once. However, once again, he failed and he found nothing but golden dirt.

Cosi followed Kiro deeper into the forest. The trees were bigger here and more gnarled. They grew closer together and their branches and leaves blocked out more of the sunlight. Cosi gripped his sword in anticipation. There were probably mobs this deep in the forest. The massive trees broke away into a small clearing of flowers, almost a garden of sorts. The boy was standing by some tall flowers, searching for more materials. Cosi wandered a little bit, spotted a small boar that he didn't feel like bothering right at the moment. All the same he watched making sure it didn't go for the blue haired boy. Cosi dug around the bushes, hoping to find more materials, but he was still unable to find any. This search was beginning to annoy him. They had only found three materials between them and they needed five for the boy to be able to complete the quest. Cosi sighed to himself and kept looking.

Kiro noticed that he was sighing way too much lately, and it was most likely because of the frustration that the two of them were receiving in this situation where they couldn’t find a single item. The blue-haired child was thinking about approaching his opponent and fight against him to get items from it in the end. He thought it would make it quicker than normal to, so he glanced at his teammate while he continued to seek for materials and approached him, slightly poking his left arm. “Let’s fight against it. It will be useful to get some experience in battle, as well as possibly some loot,” he declared with a gentle smile on his face, pointing at his target with a single finger. The boy waited next to the man for a moment, trying to figure out and hear what his thoughts were exactly about him going alone in the battle scene to finish off the mob and clear the area by a bit. He was sure that there were more packs running around carelessly without knowing that there were people here to hunt them down. He made sure to close his eyes and view how he hoped the battle would go, locking his eyes on his opponent. Guessing that Cosi would back him up if things went wrong, he quickly signaled his teammate to follow him and unsheathed his sword. Suddenly, he rushed forward in the direction of the boar in there attempt to slash it when he was close enough to it. He kept a serious look on his face, which meant that he was trying his hardest to focus on his enemy while hoping that the system was assisting him mid-assault. Sure enough, his initial strike managed to land on his opponent, tearing his skin apart and leaving his health half there to be depleted. To protect himself, the boar charged forward and stroke in the stomach. However, it was not enough to make him give up. If anything, it made him more willing to defeat it. He turned to face his friend, trying to tell him not to bother entering the bout because he had it in the bag. Unless something bad was about to happen, that is.

Cosi nodded as Kiro told him he was going to attack the boar. His face got a little more serious and his brow furrowed in determination. Cosi may have been strong but he did not treat any combat lightly. Either one of them could die if they took this too lightly. As the boy rushed the monster Cosi called after him, "I'll let you handle this pig. If I attack I'll probably turn him into pork chops without even meaning to" Kiro nodded and hit the boar with a heavy blow with his one handed arming sword. Cosi circled around the other side, getting behind the boar, and making sure that if the fight went south he would be able to quickly stop it. When the boar charged back at the blue haired bot and pierced him with its tusks, Cosi couldn't stop himself from wincing. It pained him to just stand by and watch without out offering support and protection. But Kiro was doing fine and he'd have to learn to fend for himself. No point in Cosi sheltering the kid.

Kiro managed to find out that his teammate stood back like he was asked to and went ahead to go behind their opponent, just in case it tried to run away from him and go somewhere else. Most likely to gather more forces to help them defeat the two warriors. He trusted the male with his life, so the boy knew the golden-haired adult would step in if his health was turning into low levels or anything of that matter. The blue-haired child locked his eyes once again on his opponent, feeling quite tired after the initial strike at first but was easily able to regain that lost amount of energy when the two backed off just slightly. He kept the same serious look on his face, planning on his next strike and about how it would play out if he did everything right like last time. He visualized himself charging forward for an upwards strike, cutting his opponent in half and leaving him with some health remaining in him or defeated in small blue pixels. He hoped that the second option would take place in this scenario, but he could never be so sure about himself in his first battle scenario. The boy nodded his head to himself, charging forward at an impressive pace and attempted to slash his opponent with an upwards swing and waited to see what happened to the boar. His attack had missed, making him quite tired after being unable of hitting anything. However, he was still able to draw his sword forward and barely keep the monster away from him while it attacked him.

Cosi winced as the boy's attack missed and then grimaced as the boar struck back and hit Kiro in the chest. Cosi didn't know whether to intervene or not. The boy was making a valiant effort and he had dealt the boar a heavy blow first and he did not seem too wounded. How ever he did seem quite tired which in reality was even more dangerous in a fight because if you were tto tired to attack your opponent how were you supposed to win. Still, Cosi had faith in the kid so he let him keep fighting while he maneuvered into the boar's blind spot. "Keep going Kiro! You've got this!" Cosi shouted, trying to encourage and bolster the kid in any way he could without actively attacking the monster. Cosi hoped this fight didn't go bad because he didn't help out. He trusted this kid to learn and not die.

Kiro grit his teeth in pain, unable to look away from his opponent and hoping that his teammate was trusting him to finish this battle. He took a short moment to regain a portion of his energy, trying to think of another plan to use in this battle. The child had kept in mind that he could always use a healing potion in case his opponent managed to get him very low in terms of health, though he wasn’t sure if the mob would keep the challenge going for longer. From what he was told in the Town of the Beginnings, the weaker a mob is the worst his luck on hitting their enemy is. However, in this case, it seemed to be to contrary to their information. Later, he would report to the other players to tell them about it. “For now, I need to focus on defeating my foe and them we can move on,” he internally thought, letting his calm behavior take through once again, and locked his eyes on the boar with a slight smile on his face. The golden-haired adult entrusted him with this task, so he had to make sure to complete it and surprise him with his skills. The blue-haired child shifted into a more offensive stance, speeding forward and thrusting his blade to his opponent in the attempt of stroking his body. He wanted to defeat it as quickly as possible, but he also made sure to concentrate while hoping that the system would support him enough this time. The boy successfully slashed his opponent and sent him staggering back, leaving it with little to no health remaining. A single touch more, and it would remain defeated. However, it didn't give up and decided to charge forward and strike him in the gut with it's head. He felt no real damage, but he knew that his health was going down now that he was keeping track of it. Yet, he stood tall and prepared himself for the comeback.

Cosi continued to observe the fight, waiting and watching  to see if he was needed to intervene. Thankfully it seemed like he was not needed. Kiro had this boar and the ropes and was handling the beast quite well. He had taken two hits but it was nearly impossible to not get hit by a mob unless you had lots of evasion. Still for his first fight Kiro was doing very good. It looked like Cosi would not have to worry. Still he didn’t drop his guard, just in case something drastic happened and he was needed to step in. Cosi circled and watched the fight happen. Kiro was extremely quick and his attacks left the boar staggering so it couldn’t just charge the blue haired boy down. Give him a couple more levels and he won’t have to be afraid of anything. He’ll be able to just kill it.

Kiro slowly backed off after the assault that his opponent initiated against him, while his fatigue took over him. He just needed a single second to breathe, and thankfully he had enough time to. The blue-haired and eyed child glanced down at his sword, wearing a warm and happy smile on his face before turning to face his opponent with a furious look. “Sword, let’s do this together. You and I are both partners, and I hope we can continue working with you,” He faintly mumbled, nodding his head once and entering a balanced stance to gradually come to defeat his opponent and defend against him if his attack missed. The boy looked at Cosi this time, noticing that the male trusted him to finish this mob now so they could loot it and to continue their task. He returned his gaze to the boar and charged forward at an impressive pace, performing a simple but swift horizontal slash in the hopes of defeating it for once. Once again, he thought about using a healing potion either right after the battle or in the middle of it, if this attack didn’t finish him off. Though he knew the natural healing that this game gave to everyone outside of battle would be enough to cover his wounds before they moved on to fight against another monster. Next time, however, he would make sure to ask for his teammate’s help to injure him first, so he could finish the job later. His attack missed his opponent by a lot, thanks to the lack of energy and accuracy and received a powerful strike to the gut. His health bar decreased once more, reaching critical numbers. He needed to use potions soon.

Cosi continued to look on at the fight in progress. Kiro continued to press the attack but it had begun to tire him out and it was doing more harm then help. What had started as a simple exchange of blows had turned bad. Kiro’s exhaustion had made his attacks inaccurate and his reaction time sluggish. The boar was getting hit after hit in on the blue haired warrior. Cosi winced as once again the boar’s tusks hit Kiro in the chest and sent him stumbling back. The kid only needed one more hit to finish the boar but if the fight went any longer Kiro would be finished as well. Cosi resolved that if he got hit once more he would step and kill the boar before it killed the boy. Hopefully it would not come to that- Cosi had faith in the kid- but he was still prepared to lend a defending hand.
