Whoosh!
As Valyr opened up a notification screen within his mind to take a look at the notifications he had just received, a wave of energy swiftly coursed throughout his body out of nowhere, catching him off guard. Though he did not know where the wave of energy had come from, he allowed the energy to do as it pleased after he was certain that there was no malicious intent behind it.
With that, he stood in place as he allowed the wave of energy to move through his body, noticing that he was slowly gaining a greater understanding of the inner workings of his body. By the time the wave of energy had reached the upper portion of his body, most of the energy making up the wave went towards his mind, becoming absorbed by the latter as he felt like he now had a greater understanding of everything that was going on around him.
Then, as if he was being led by this energy, he gradually shifted his gaze towards the piece of armor he had just forged to completion, only for another wave of energy to appear out of nowhere and course through his body once more. However, unlike before where he had gained a greater understanding of himself and his surroundings, he felt like he now had a greater understanding of piece of armor on the anvil, gaining the ability to dissect it into parts in his mind.
Though, after mulling over the newfound feeling he had gained for a bit, he soon realized that the understanding he had gained from the piece of armor was not related to the armor itself. Instead, he had gained insight into one of the mechanics that surrounded the armor he was currently staring at.
Its rarity.
Coming to this realization, Valyr focused his attention onto the list of notifications he commanded the system to show him in his mind, eventually coming across the final notification. 'So, it would be safe to assume that this newfound knowledge I've obtained came from this title, huh?'
'Then again, this isn't the first time I've obtained the title.' Slightly grinning at the thought, Valyr commanded the system to bring up the description of the title, wondering to himself if it was the same title he had obtained back then as a player. However, just as a small screen containing its description appeared within his mind, he was left with no choice but to save the matter for later as Braum took up his attention.
"What… did you just do?" With his mouth slightly agape, Braum stared at Valyr, recalling the unique aura that was emanating from him just a while ago. After that, he shifted his attention onto the intricate-looking vambraces on the anvil, now getting the feeling that a strong creature was slumbering within it.
Though, if he were to be a bit more specific, Braum felt as if a part that made up the strong creature he envisioned was slumbering within it.
pαndα-noνɐ1,сoМ Nevertheless, even though that kind of thought lingered in his mind, he returned his gaze to Valyr, knowing that the young man in front of him was the only one capable of explaining what just happened not long ago. Unfortunately, the answer that Valyr was going to him would disappoint him greatly as the young man faintly shrugged his shoulders in response. "I upgraded my armor."
Listening to the young man's words, Braum could not stop himself from glaring at him for a short bit since what the man had told him was something he already knew. With that in mind, he let out a faint sigh after a bit of silence, deciding to approach the situation from another perspective instead. "I know you upgraded your armor. After all, that's what you told me earlier."
"What I want to know instead is what happened after you infused mana into your armor." Braum looked at Valyr with a calm expression. "Your entire aura changed for a bit, you know? Plus, there's the fact that your armor decided to glow after you imbued mana into it. It would definitely be nice if you could give me a good explanation."
"Any specific reason as to why you wanna know?" In response, Valyr looked back at the man in armor as he took out the second piece of armor that had gone through the second step, moving the vambraces to the side as he placed the new piece of armor on the anvil to give it space to cool down.
"So?"
"Call it curiosity, I guess." Braum shrugged his shoulders. "Since I'm part of one of the reconnaissance teams that was tasked to find your whereabouts back then, I know that part of the reason why the guild was on the lookout for your whereabouts is due to your current class. Even the weapons you had given us as thanks for helping you out on your quest was more than enough for me to realize that you're no ordinary blacksmith."
"In any case, now that I think about it, you don't really have to answer my question." Scratching his head for a bit, Braum looked at the young man. "I've got secrets you don't know, so it's a given that you have secrets I don't know, so I'll respect that."
"The change in aura you felt from me was probably due to the title I just gained." Seeing as Braum had not beat around the bush regarding his reason, even going so far as telling him that he did not necessarily have to answer, Valyr decided to reciprocate the response. "Of course, I won't tell you what specific title since, as you just mentioned, we both have secrets we want to keep to ourselves."
"As for the glow on the armor…" Saying these words, Valyr shifted his gaze onto the upgraded vambraces before activating [Analysis], causing a light blue haze to form around his eyes as he gained information on the item. Then, looking through the item's description for a bit, Valyr eventually looked back at Braum, a faint yet confident smile creeping up onto his lips.
"A simple [Analysis] would be enough for you to find that out."
