The next morning.
Leo opened his eyes to the rising morning sunlight.
Woe!
Carl also jumped out of bed, scratched his stomach and yawned.
“When did you come in?”
“Two hours ago.”
“Wow, so you’re saying you only slept for about 2 hours? “Can’t you sleep?”
“Not really. “I can survive even if I don’t sleep for a few days.”
“I feel it again, but you really are a physical monster.”
Carl stuck out his tongue.
Until the beginning of the first year, Leo was evaluated as being inferior in strength compared to the top students in other departments.
But in the meantime, there was one thing that was the best, and that was my stamina, which never seemed to tire me out.
In fact, in the physical fitness evaluation of the Knight’s Department class, Leo never once gave up first place.
And in second place is Chen Xia.
‘Didn’t you say that even though Celia and Duran grit their teeth and train their strength, Leona Chen Xia are still first and second?’
Karl, who knew how much effort Duran spent on training in the morning and evening as they shared the same dormitory, could only stick his tongue out.
‘When the dormitory was built, there was such a fuss to build a training room first.’
Carl shook his head, remembering the training room located on one side of Noble Dormitory.
Students from the same dormitory, the Department of Engineers, also use it often, so I think it is ultimately well made.
‘Female students from other departments also use it sometimes.’
Of course, the main reason why the female students in the Department of Magic or Summoning went to the training room and lifted dumbbells that were not even in the eight arms was to see Duran.
After thinking that far, Carl smiled sinisterly as he poked Leo’s side as he prepared to leave.
“Anyway, Leo. I can’t believe I went out late at night to meet a woman two days in a row. “Did anything happen?”
“I just studied magic, what could have happened?”
“These damn honor students are real! You don’t know the student’s dreams! A student’s dream!”
Carl grumbled and ate breakfast.
Today, like yesterday, it was about finding the Smith that suited you in the main auditorium.
After eating breakfast.
The dwarf students were already waiting for the other hero cadets in the main hall.
Meanwhile.
“uh? “Isn’t he the dwarf who only makes replicas of yesterday?”
“I can’t go into the main auditorium, so I’m doing that over there.”
“It’s not good.”
Driana was displaying her weapons at the entrance away from the main hall.
However, not a single Hero Academy student approached Driana.
Rumors about Driana had already spread among students at other hero military academies.
A blacksmith who just copies the weapons made by Dweno.
Regardless of ability, there was no student who wanted to request weapons from such a student.
Every hero candidate wants to make a weapon just for themselves.
Of course, if you can receive a hero weapon or a genuine item as a reward through conquering the world of heroes, anyone will want the items made by Dweno.
However, what Drianna created was, after all, a fake created by a later person.
Even the weapons currently on display on the shelves were included in Dweno’s Dictionary of Arms.
With a quick glance at Driana, the hero candidates of Rumern, Seirun, and Azonia all entered the great hall.
That was when Driana was staring at the scene.
“Why are you making Dweno’s weapons?”
“Huh?!”
Driana was frightened and jumped at the sound of a voice coming from behind.
“No, you were surprised, weren’t you?”
Driana looked up at Leo standing behind her and said.
Looking at Driana, Leo stretched out his hand to one of the windows on the display stand.
If you look at the weapon on display here, it may have been made by Dweno, but it was a weapon that Leo did not remember.
‘It looks like it’s a weapon made for one of the heroes of Guardron.’
Leo whirled the spear lightly in his hand.
It was a heavy, insensitive spear, but Leo handled it with ease.
Driana said while looking at Leo.
“Indeed, you have the skills you boasted about being able to use all types of weapons.”
Driana said with her arms crossed.
“Why am I making only Dweno’s weapons? It’s simple. Because Dweno’s armor is perfect.”
With ecstatic eyes, Driana held the sword on the display stand in her hand and rubbed her face.
“Look! “This beautiful figure is almost like a work of art!”
“I can’t understand it even more. Doesn’t that mean you respect Dweno as a blacksmith? “Right now, the way you speak is imitating Dweno.”
Driana’s eyes widened at those words.
“How did you know that I imitate Dweno’s speaking style?”
“Because I am imitating Dweno’s speaking style and intonation exactly as it appears in the book. And when the chaos broke out yesterday, your tone was different from now.”
“Hmm! “You have a keen eye for attention?”
Driana’s tone of voice changed and she smiled somewhat awkwardly.
He must be embarrassed.

“Why did you give up being a craftsman by making the weapons that Dweno made and even imitating his way of speaking?”
In Leo’s opinion, Driana had given up on being a craftsman.
And that thought was not wrong.
“That’s because you can never be like Dweno.”
Driana chuckled.
“It is no exaggeration to say that Dweno-sama has reached the highest level of weapon making.”
Respect appeared on Driana’s face.
“Most of the original weapons that Dweno left behind are now worn out. Some of them are almost broken and cannot function as weapons. but… … .”
“but?”
“The moment it is held in the user’s hand, it becomes a weapon more powerful than any other weapon. Whatever the state. “You probably have no idea how great that is!”
With an excited face, Driana jumped up and down in her seat.
‘Just a little while ago, he was imitating his serious spirit, but now he looks like other kids his age.’
“It’s literally the realm of God!”
Leo, who has used Dweno’s weapon countless times, can see how great Dweno’s weapon is.
‘I, Aron, and Dweno broke the weapons made by them several times.’
But that was after the battle was over.
It is absolutely effective until the end of the battle.
It didn’t break or anything.
The same goes for the weapons currently stored in Damian’s armory.
Although it is on display as if it has been left unmanaged for at least hundreds or at most thousands of years.
It is a weapon that fulfills its role the moment it is held in the hands of a worthy person.
It was literally the work of God.
“When I was young, I wanted to be like Dweno. The same goes for other Damien students. “They want to be like Dweno.”
Driana grinned.
“So I gave up making weapons.”
“why?”
“Because I can never be like Dweno.”
Although he imitated the way he spoke and acted like it was in the literature, Driana thought.
He said he could never reach the same level as Dweno.
“Damian and other hero academies are different.”
Driana looked at the display case.
It was full of counterfeit products he had made.
“There is no way for the students of Seilun and Azonia to be directly compared to Luna, the progenitor of the nebula, and Aron, the hero.”
Driana looked at Leo.
“You Lumerns aren’t compared to Kyle, the hero of the beginning, are you?”
“Even though he wants to be compared, Kyle is a hero who was recently revealed to be a real person.”
“That’s right. anyway! Even the dragon race cannot be directly compared to the King of Wisdom, but our Damian students are different.”
Driana grabbed a weapon.
“We were directly compared between the weapons made by Dweno and our own. So I always realize it. “That we can never reach it.”
“So you gave up?”
“It was only when I was immature that I said I wanted to be like Dweno. But now, the more he grows as a blacksmith, the more he realizes it. “My capabilities as a Smith.”
Driana shrugged.
“I want to be the best! That’s why I gave up on Smith’s path early on.”
“I might get expelled from Damien?”
“I can’t help it. “Have I given up on Smith’s path?”
‘This is my first time seeing this type.’
Everyone in the world aims to become a great hero.
However, no one truly thinks of surpassing the Great Hero.
Just leaving it as an object of envy and admiration.
But it seems that Driana was a little different.
After envy and admiration, it seems like he wanted to become a Smith who surpassed Deweno.
‘And I gave up that I couldn’t reach the same level as Dweno.’
Leo looked at the spear in his hand.
You can tell just by swinging the spear.
Compared to Dweno, his skills are clumsy.
However, this is only a story when the target of comparison was Dweno.
Driana was a great smith.
‘If it were Dweno, he might have passed on blacksmithing skills.’
But unfortunately, Leo was not a blacksmith.
Therefore, there were no skills that could be passed on.
‘Even so, I’m saying that I haven’t given up my regrets about making Dweno’s weapon like this.’
Leo wanted to let Driana pick up the hammer and anvil again.
I hoped that a girl who looked like Dweno would target Dweno again.
‘Dweno will be truly happy if he knows that a child like this exists.’
Although he wanted to be remembered as an artist rather than a Smith, he was also proud of himself as a Smith.
‘Conclusively… … Now that Dweno is gone, we really need a blacksmith who can make powerful weapons.’
Leo narrowed his eyes.
‘Because the Giant King Geas is still alive and well.’
A monster with an unimaginably large body.
That in itself was a formidable ‘disaster’.
During the Age of Calamity, he was a monster with such overwhelming physical power that a city could disappear with a single wave of his hand.
However, unlike such thrilling power, the Giant King was also a very cautious corps commander.
We were able to get a glimpse of the monster’s prudence in that it has never been active externally for the past 5,000 years.
It was different from the Demon Queen, who freely spread disaster, and the Demon King, who plotted evil plans.
He was just silent.
‘Definitely, this guy is the arsenal of Tartarus.’
During the time of disaster.
If there was Dweno in the punitive force, there was Gias, the giant king, in Tartarus.
He created all kinds of disastrous weapons and was also the antithesis of Dweno.
‘Well, Deweno was overwhelmingly ahead in terms of his capabilities as a Smith.’
However, now that Dweno was not there, he could not guarantee that there was a blacksmith among the dwarves who could make weapons that could compete with Geass’ weapons.
‘How do I change this kid’s mind?’
It was time for Leo to worry.
“So I thought. “If I can’t surpass Deweno as a Smith, I will surpass Deweno as an artist!”
Hearing Driana’s confident shout, Leo looked at her with surprised eyes.
Currently, among the literature related to Dweno, there is no record of Dweno being an artist who praises beauty.
However, Driana declared that she would become an artist that surpasses Dweno.
“What artist out of nowhere?”
“You can tell just by looking at the weapon that Dweno left behind. Dweno must have been an artist who admired beauty! “Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to make these beautiful things!”
Apparently, the reason he called himself an artist was influenced by Deweno.
‘That’s amazing. ‘You can even figure out Dweno’s tendencies just by looking at the weapon.’
Leo was impressed.
Driana said while looking at Leo.
“I was inspired by you. Actually, I would have been more inspired if I had become a nude model… … “I sculpted you as I regretted it.”
Driana made a confident expression.
“Maybe if you see this, you’ll want to be my model too?”
“That won’t happen, but I’m curious.”
When Dweno sculpted Lisinas and Luna, he created sculptures that seemed truly alive and moving.
Whenever Deweno created a sculpture, Leo always said that Deweno’s sculpture was more beautiful than the original.
Of course, at that time, kicks and punches came from Risinas and Luna.
Driana took out a clay statue of Leo from behind a display case.
“ruler! look! “My work of art!”
“… … .”
Leo looked at the misshapen sculpture in Driana’s hand.
“Is this the type of monster you’ve never seen before?”
“What a monster! This is a carving of your likeness! Although I reinterpreted it with my artistic sensibilities! how is it? “Isn’t it cool?”
With a proud expression on her face, Driana held up the self-proclaimed Leo statue to Leo.
Leo, who received it, felt an indescribable discomfort and fell into trouble.
‘Where do you think this is me? Even if I make it with my feet, I think I’ll make it better than this.’
Deweno would look at Kyle with pity, saying he was cursed by art.
What would Dweno have done if he had seen the weapons made by Driana?
‘He would have smiled kindly, encouraged me, and personally taught me blacksmithing skills.’
That’s how outstanding Driana’s talent was.
But what if you saw this on the other hand?
Leo, who was worried, repeated exactly what Dweno would have done.
Whick! Push!
The statue of Leo, a misshapen statue of Driana herself, made of clay, was horribly crushed.
“I’m being serious. I think you’d better not be an artist. So knock it out and grab the hammer.”
‘Don’t insult art! If you’re going to call something like this art, get rid of it!’
If it had been Dweno, he might have been so enraged that he shouted this and hurled all kinds of curses at me.
