I Shall Evolve Everything-Chapter 20 Awakened

The sun rose and with it another day.

I awoke as is usual for me now, with Aoif snuggling to me.

Getting out of bed and doing my daily deeds took barely any time and by the time I was done Tama was in the dining room waiting with food ready for me and Aoif.

Aoif barely took any time to do her daily routine either and by the time 10 minutes had passed she had joined us for breakfast.

After we had eaten breakfast I go to ask Tama to teach us how to properly use our pathways but before I could do that I get a notification that our purified and raw iron reserves have increased.

"Oh that's convenient."

"What's convenient?" Aoif asks.

"Seems my mining team is back, while we don't have the copper that we need for the teleportation we do have the iron now."

"On that note, My Lord, if you are going to do that… a weapon would be of great use"

"Can you inform Melia to have the workers make me a spear."

"A spear, why not a sword if I may ask My Lord."

"The spear is always something that has called to me. Nothing more to it the spear just has always felt natural"

"Then I will inform Melia right away then."

It took Tama no more than 15 minutes to go and inform Melia of my request.

"Now that you're back, what would be the proper way to develop our pathways and reserves?" I ask Tama

Sitting down in a nearby seat Tama starts to explain.

"First things first, My Lord, both of you are able to feel your pathways, yes"

"Yes" both me and Aoif

"My Lord, I'll start with you, give me your hand please."

I reach out my hand to Tama and she starts sending her aether into my pathways.

"Focus on how the anther flows through your pathways, replicate that on your other arm while I continue circulating aether around your arm." Tama instructs me

I focus and start to move the aether in my arms in the same pattern that Tama does.

It sort of zigzags up the arm then comes back down the same channel.

At some point the contact with Tama's aether is lost but even so I continue to circulate my aether on both my arms now.

And so I continue to practice losing track of time

I don't know how long it was since I started but by the time I had stopped circulating my aether there was an addition to the people in the room.

Melia was looking at me with a bitter smile.

I wonder why she was giving me that, then I look and see that Aoif and I were both snuggling together while practicing.

It seemed that while we were practicing Aoif decided to use my lap as a head pillow. 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨m

I had just not noticed it until now.

"I have brought your spear, Darwin" Melia interrupts my thoughts by presenting me with a spear.

"Thank you Melia" I say with an awkward smile

"Hope it wasn't too much trouble on the workers to do this"

"Oh it wasn't, they actually enjoyed it, some were originally purposed for weapon making instead of construction before we corrected the mistake. Those ones made your spear it was a great joy for them"

*earlier*

We had orders to make a spear for our Lord.

The process is simple but we were weapon makers at heart, making weapons was second nature but we were getting ahead of ourselves before we could even start forging the spear we needed to find a suitably durable price of wood that would fit our Lord's stature.

Then the spearhead could be made.

So we began looking for a suitable branch.

It took a while but we were able to find it.

After we found the stick we stored it then went to begin the process of forging the spearhead.

The purified iron would be heated up courtesy of one of the kitsune around. Then we would shape it into a proper spearhead.

After the spearhead was made it needed to be sharpened.

To do that we first used a stone to align the edge so that it is straight.

Then since we don't have any quartz to make a whetstone with we had to improvise.

We had the same kitsune that helped us heat the metal and use their claw to scrape at the parts we needed scraped. The way it worked was that the kitsune would scrape at the edge of the spearhead until it was super thin then do the same to all the other edges of it.

It took a while but the kitsune was able to give the spear a sharp edge.

Although it wasn't as sharp as it would have been if we had had proper sharpening materials it was still better than anything that we would have been able to make without the help of the Kitsune.

After the spearhead was made and sharpened the wood that we picked out was split at the head then the spearhead was inserted with some natural glue that we had made.

After that it was further bound with plant fiber that we had harvested from the surrounding plants. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

The spear was done and so we handed it off to Melia who then headed to the Lord's house to personally present it.

I was going to go outside to familiarize myself with the spear but it was already dark out so instead I cleared the living room then swung the spear around, getting in and out of a basic stance.

The stance I decided on was the spear pointing downwards with my left foot out tensed and ready to dash.

After briefly familiarizing myself with the spear I go to start my self-evolution.
