The Master Of Elements

ME 84 Nordrhein Forest

“I heard tomorrow You'll be out of Matt's academy,” asked John who “taste” Matthew's cooking.

In the past three months, as the Head of Andradius Academy, John was busy stabilizing things at the academy. That made him unable to learn cooking as they previously agreed.

Only now did John have time to stop by the residence of Matthew and his younger siblings. You could say, the problem regarding the intruder from the Black Shadow organization members was resolved. So, John already has free time for “tasting” Matthew cuisine.

“Yes that's right, Grandpa John. Tomorrow I'm going out. Isn't tomorrow the isolation period in Andradius Academy is over? I want to go to the Nordrhein Forest. There later I will practice what I learned.”

”Although my strength is quite high, but if I have no fighting experience, it is tantamount to having a blunt sword. The sword is indeed a weapon, but it cannot hurt others,” Matthew explained.

Practicing for three months is enough, according to Matthew. Although he had yet to reach Bronze level, but his attack power had already reached Bronze level. An attack with half his soul energy was equivalent to an attack possessed by them at Bronze VII level. Though in terms of soul energy, Matthew was only at the level of Iron X.

For Jasper and Ellie who had soul energy at the Iron VIII level alone already had attack power at the Bronze III level if using half their soul energy.

With their current strength, they could already protect themselves if they went to the edge of the Nordrhein Forest which contained mostly monsters at Bronze I to Bronze V levels. As long as they did not go too deep while in the Nordrhein Forest, then everything would be fine.

"Do you need someone to accompany you? I can have someone accompany you to the Nordrhein Forest. After all, this is your first time to the Nordrhein Forest" John said.

"You don't have to do that, Grandpa John. Second year student Leonard will accompany us. So, if there's even one thing, Leo will help us overcome the monsters. After all, we know our limits, Grandpa John," replied Ellie who finished chewing her food.

"Leonard's? Second year student?"

"Yes. He was the one who used to be with us in the cafeteria when you came to see us. Not only that, some disciples who have already lost strength will join our journey, Grandpa John. Although they did not have the slightest strength, but their experience was higher," Matthew explained.

This was the reason Matthew had prepared in order to take some of his men out. They also need to practice. Some of them have returned with one to two new elements. Their strength also slowly returned.

However, not everyone he took out of Andradius Academy would go to the Nordrhein Forest. Some Matthew sent to find information about the whereabouts of his parents. They said they would soon be coming to the academy. However, until now both have not appeared either.

"Then do you need a gun? I can lend you some weapons" John bargained.

"Lend? Are you insulting me, Grandpa John? I already have a woman forging weapons. Why would I borrow a gun from you? If Matthew or Ellie need a gun, then I will produce a weapon suitable for them" Jasper protested.

Ever since successfully forging an Iron-sized weapon for the first time, Jasper had always boasted about it. Jasper always told Matthew and Ellie that he would take care of all the gun needs of the two.

"Haha." John's laughter was heard in the room. John really could not help but laugh after hearing Jasper's words. Making weapons for Matthew and Ellie?

"Why are you laughing like that Grandpa John? You guys too, why are you laughing?" jasper asked after seeing Matthew and Ellie who were holding back a laugh.

"With their power like that, are you sure the weapon can be useful to them?" ask John.

John's question managed to make Jasper stunned. John's words have a point. The weapons he had were only weapons at the Iron level. With such a history, his two brothers would not be able to increase their strength like the initial purpose of a weapon.

"Ah shit. In fact, I wish I could be a weapons supplier to them. If this is the case, after returning home from the Nordrhein Forest, I will try hard to increase my forging ability, in order to be able to create weapons at the Bronze level. That way, I can build a new weapon for Matthew and Ellie."

"Hem ... Did you forget, Jas? You can only forge a weapon at the Bronze level if you are already at the Bronze level. Then, if both of your sisters are at the Bronze level, then their strength could already be at the Silver level."

"Ah shit .. Again my plan failed. If this is when can I get them a gun?"

"Jas, did you forget that we could increase the power of a weapon by adding runes? That way, our weapons despite being in the Iron window, could have increased our strength. Then, if the power of the runes is large, then our attack power also increases? Why did you forget such a basic thing?" ask Matthew.

"Aish .. I forgot about it. I'm focusing on eating my lunch. So, I'm not concentrating well."

"Haha ... You still haven't changed, Jas. Put food ahead of others."

"Food is the main thing, Grandpa John. Without food, I would not be able to do normal activities. So, there's no harm in having me prepare my food, right?"

"Yes, it's up to you. Then, what about your weapons? Are you going to use Jasper's weapon?" ask John again.

"Yes. We'll do just that, Grandpa John. I'll add the runes. Tomorrow before going to the Nordrhein Forest, we will go to Archdale City to buy some materials to add these runes. Then, we also need to prepare food supplies during the Nordrhein Forest."

"Whether we're going to be there, a week, two weeks or even a month. Food must be prepared well."

"Hah .. You guys are completely independent apparently. All of you prepare carefully. Just three months, within these three months, you guys have completely turned into independent children."

"Ehm .. actually, we're not that independent as Grandpa John. We still need your help."

"My help?"

"Yes. You see for yourself, no, the effect of the appearance-changing potion you gave me back then is over. I can't go with my real face, can I? So, can you give us three vials of potions?"

Now, Matthew, Jasper, and Ellie's faces have returned to their original faces. This made the last few weeks they did not go out of the house at all. Except to go to the house of the elders to study. If there Ellie can concoct the drug, then Matthew won't ask John.
