After having breakfast, Li Yu left the restaurant and began preparations. Li Yu was going to be busy forging weapons for so many people.

Xia Yu followed Li Yu like a little tail, saying as they walked, "Class monitor, wait a minute, can you let me call first?"

Why follow along? Of course, it's because she wants Li Yu to forge a weapon for her first, since her previous weapon was completely ruined.

Hearing her words, Li Yu glanced at her and said, "Alright, then go and collect all the other students' weapons. I've already recycled them all. This matter is up to you."

Since you want it, then you'd better obediently run errands. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Hearing this, Xia Yu didn't refuse. She readily agreed and ran out.

"I'm going right now!!" Without hesitation, she simply put away everyone else's weapons. What's the big deal? She can even help with weightlifting later!

Seeing her like this, Li Yu was speechless. Li Yu shook his head and didn't say anything more. He found an empty room on the first floor of the boys' building and started decorating.

First, he took out the forging tools he had bought before, including things like a blower. By the time Li Yu had finished setting things up, Xia Yu had returned, bringing with her other people's weapons and many classmates.

Upon hearing that Li Yu was going to start forging weapons, many people rushed over, including the classmates who had been eating in the restaurant earlier.

Upon arriving, they immediately handed over their drawings to Li Yu, Li Yu was speechless upon seeing them.

However, the weapons these people drew weren't too fancy. After glancing at them and noting them down, Li Yu said, "Alright, put them aside. I'll forge them for you later. Besides, the weapons I'm making for you this time are a bit special."

After saying this, Li Yu got busy. He went over and lit the furnace, which directly burned Magic Stone.

The Magic Stone unearthed from the Dungeon were put to various uses in Orario, with the forging furnaces produced by Hephaestus being the best.

If it weren't the best, wouldn't that be a disgrace to her, the Goddess of Forging? Li Yu knew how to use these things just by looking at them.

Hearing this, Xia Yu asked curiously, "Squad leader, is there anything special about the weapons you forged for us? Why do you say that?"

She was incredibly curious; something special must be coming from Li Yu's mouth.

Isn't it more than just a regular enchanted weapon?

"This is a unique, upgradable weapon. What we've forged now is just a rough draft. In other words, you can continuously improve its quality by adding various materials in the future. Do you understand what I mean?" After lighting the furnace, Li Yu took the broken sword that Xia Yu had been holding and threw it in.

Her sword was unusable; it was crooked and had many nicks, so she decided to just melt it down.

Upon hearing Li Yu's words, Xia Yu and the others' eyes lit up. She exclaimed with some surprise, "Really?"

That's great!

This is equivalent to Li Yu helping everyone build the foundation of the big villa. As for what it will look like in the future, that depends on how everyone builds and decorates it.

This is undoubtedly a weapon that can be used for a lifetime; how could they not be excited?

"We can never repay the kindness of our class monitor!!" The students here also heard Li Yu's words. At this moment, they felt incredibly lucky to have such a class monitor.

"Zhongcheng!" "Zhongcheng!" "Squad leader, who are you going to kill? I'll get the weapon tonight and go take care of him for you!!" This guy is practically a godfather.

One male classmate even asked Li Yu on the spot if he had anyone he wanted to kill, saying that if he could beat them, he could do it for him that night.

The godfather prepared such a weapon for everyone; he felt he could never repay this debt of gratitude if he didn't help Li Yu kill someone.

Upon hearing this, Li Yu rolled his Byakugan dramatically and said with a hint of disdain, "If you guys are so free, go and help me smash those materials. Hurry up and stop talking nonsense!!"

Li Yu immediately started ordering these guys around. Hearing Li Yu's words, everyone chuckled and then, without hesitation, began to help out.

Seeing that things were already getting busy, the other members of the Familia also came over to help. There was a pile of materials waiting for them to break down.

Some materials even needed to be ground into powder. After all the preliminary work was completed, Li Yu began forging Xia Yu's first weapon.

As the stove heated up, the room became increasingly hot. Some people couldn't stand it and took some materials outside to work.

The sounds of hammers striking each other echoed within the Familia. Hestia, seeing this, ran over to join in the fun. Since everyone was busy, she decided to help as well, occasionally bringing Li Yu Li Yu water cup to quench his thirst.

In just over half an hour, Li Yu successfully forged Xia Yu's weapon. It was somewhat similar to the drawing Xia Yu had made, but the color was gray, with only the blade edge being silver-white.

Li Yu successfully enchanted the weapon with the attribute of sturdiness. After the quenching was completed, Li Yu examined the sword and then handed it to Xia Yu, who had been waiting impatiently.

"You can handle the rest yourself. As for what you want to wrap around the hilt, that's up to you. Congratulations on obtaining the first weapon I forged. This guinea pig has been successfully tested." Li Yu handed the weapon to the other party with a grin.

Xia Yu, who had been all smiles, suddenly became annoyed. She complained somewhat irritably, "I was happy because of the new weapon, but hearing you mention guinea pigs makes me unhappy."

This was hasty. It was Li Yu's first time forging a weapon, and she had just become a guinea pig. Would the weapons she forged later be better? After all, this sword was, after all, a trial piece.

However, this thought quickly vanished. Looking at the sword in her hand, she felt a surge of joy and couldn't help but say to Li Yu, "Thank you, squad leader!"

After saying that, she took her weapon and ran out, starting to decorate her sword, wrapping some things around the hilt to make it more beautiful and easier to handle.

She can do these things herself, so there's no need to trouble Li Yu. She'll come and help after she's finished with the sword!

However, as soon as she stepped out, her weapon was taken away by Yor. When Xia Yu saw Yor, she was stunned for a moment, and then quickly greeted him, "Teacher Yor, Teacher Nangong, Teacher Hiratsuka!"

The three of them came over together. Xia Yu looked at Yor with curiosity. She knew very well that this Teacher Yor was skilled in using various weapons, so she should know a lot about the quality of weapons, right?

"What a fine weapon! It's really amazing. It seems Li Yu has truly mastered that God's techniques." After examining it for a while, Yor returned the weapon to Xia Yu, unable to resist praising it.

Hearing Yor's words, Xia Yu's smile widened. She chuckled and said, "Then I'll be going now, teachers, you can continue with your work!"

After saying that, Xia Yu left happily. The weapon had been approved by the teachers, which was really great.

After Xia Yu left, Nangong Natsuki finally spoke, "That kid's talent is even more outrageous than I imagined, but this is actually good news."

Nangong Natsuki's lips curled up slightly. The forging skills of a God! If she brought them back, it would elevate their forging techniques by several levels.

Upon hearing this, Yor nodded and said, "Besides, they can use that weapon for a lifetime. Li Yu said that if they want to further enhance it in the future, they just need to add some better materials. This makes me very tempted."

Now, Yor also wants Li Yu to help him forge a suitable weapon; his craftsmanship is simply too good, making it hard not to be tempted.

Hearing what Yor said, Nangong Natsuki also spoke up, "There's no rush, there will be plenty of opportunities later. Let's go, we won't bother them anymore."

Nangong Natsuki glanced at the busy crowd inside, said this, and then turned and left. The students were all drawn to the scene, and no one came to ask them any questions anymore.

So everyone just decided not to bother them. They figured they'd wait until the weapons were all forged before coming over to ask questions again. After all, everyone wants to learn a few tricks with new weapons, right?

At this moment, Li Yu was completely focused on forging his second weapon and hadn't activated his senses, so he was unaware of what was happening outside.

As Li Yu slowly forged the outline of the second weapon, Asuna, who was helping out, suddenly brightened up. She recognized it as a rapier.

She's the only one in the class who uses a rapier, which means this weapon was forged for her? Thinking about this, Asuna couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.

Yukino Yukinoshita and Kato Megumi also noticed, but neither of them said anything. They glanced at each other and then continued with their work.

This time, Li Yu added different materials, so the color of this sword is completely different from the one Xia Yu forged, as the final process is completed.

A rapier with a crystal-like silver appearance appeared in Li Yu's hand. It was a silver-white Western-style sword. After forging this weapon, Li Yu did not give it to Asuna immediately.

Since the hilt wasn't finished yet, Li Yu planned to make the sword exactly as he envisioned it. If he gave it to Asuna, who knew what she would put on it? She'd probably just wrap it with bandages a few times and call it a day?

Wouldn't it have been a waste for him to forge this Shimmering Light? So it had to be processed. Just consider it Ji Yu's obsessive-compulsive disorder acting up. With that thought, Li Yu put the slender sword aside.

Seeing this, Asuna couldn't help but ask, "Is it not finished yet? Does it need to be redone?"

She looked at Li Yu, who continued working, with some surprise. Was there something wrong with the sword?

"Hmm, it's not finished yet. Let me decorate it for you, otherwise it won't look right. I have to make it look exactly how I envision it." After saying that, Li Yu lowered his head and continued to prepare the ingredients.

Hearing this, Asuna was speechless, but it did pique her interest. She wondered what kind of weapon Li Yu would create.

With anticipation, she stopped rushing and waited quietly. Li Yu prepared some ingredients and then continued smelting, finally boiling a pot of liquid that was burning with flames.

Li Yu began to apply the liquid little by little to the Shimmering Light. At this moment, Asuna finally understood why Li Yu had left those spots.

As Li Yu applied the liquid, and the temperature gradually cooled down, it completely fused with the sword, eventually becoming part of the rapier.

Once everything was completely finished, the rapier was completely transformed. The hilt looked as if it had been inlaid with green gemstones, instantly elevating its appearance to a whole new level.

Li Yu grasped the rapier, brandished it briefly, and then handed it to Asuna, saying, "Here you go. This sword is called 'Shimmering Light,' and it will be your exclusive weapon from now on!"

Upon hearing the name Li Yu uttered, Asuna was momentarily stunned. "Shimmering Light... that's quite a name!" Thinking this, Asuna quickly said, "Thank you!"

Asuna expressed her sincere gratitude. This weapon didn't need much embellishment to be perfect, and she liked it very much.

Asuna couldn't hide the smile on her face as she looked at the weapon in her hand, finding it increasingly appealing.

Li Yu then looked at Yukino and asked, "Do you still want the short sword? Or perhaps you'd like to get a different one?"

For example, the katana?

He didn't think a short sword was suitable for Yukino; she was better suited to a katana. So Li Yu suggested she change her weapon, since a katana was the most suitable for her.

The main reason was that Li Yu had seen a picture of Yukino using a katana online, which he thought was quite good, so he recommended it.

Hearing Li Yu say this, Yukino Yukinoshita was also taken aback. She seriously considered what Li Yu said. Using a katana? That wasn't a bad idea. Since Li Yu recommended it, there must be a reason for it.

Thinking this through, Yukino Yukinoshita nodded and said, "Alright, then forge me a katana. Perhaps it will suit me better!"

She didn't hesitate much and agreed immediately, deciding to follow Li Yu's advice.

Once the matter was settled, Li Yu began to take action, and before long, a katana suitable for Yukino was forged by Li Yu.

A hint of surprise flashed in Yukino's eyes as she looked at the weapon. After a brief comparison, she thought, "It would feel so comfortable to hold it, wouldn't it?" Li Yu had really put his heart into it.

As Li Yu was thinking this, he also finished fixing the hilt of her sword. After he finished, he handed it to Yukino and said, "Here, I was afraid you wouldn't know how to do it, so I fixed the hilt for you while I was at it."

Why did those words sound so unpleasant? Yukino Yukinoshita felt a little annoyed, but she still said thank you. Although it was infuriating, she couldn't deny that if she did it herself, it definitely wouldn't be as good as Li Yu's.

"Thank you!" Yukino Yukinoshita said, taking the katana from Li Yu. After examining it for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Does this sword have a name?"

"You can call her White Snow Sleeve?" Li Yu chuckled upon hearing this and immediately said the name. Yukino was taken aback for a moment, then silently memorized the name.

"Okay, I understand!" Yukino thought the name sounded nice, silently memorized it, and then left the workshop with her katana, intending to get a scabbard.

After she left, Li Yu looked at Kato Megumi and said with great certainty, "A dagger, Kato."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Li Yu." Kato Megumi nodded. She was already used to using a dagger, so it was best to continue using it. Besides, Professor Yor was very skilled with daggers, so she could learn a thing or two from him.

After confirming with her, Li Yu continued with her work. Actually, Li Yu really wanted to get Kato Megumi a greatsword, and she even had a name in mind: Azrael.

But after thinking about it, I decided against it. I'll just get Kato Megumi Kato Megumi Azoth Sword. I just hope she won't use that weapon to stab him again!
