(RPJ)Chapter 301: A lost creation
🕑 Added 2024-12-16 17:02:24 +0000 UTCI stood next to the raging furnace with my palm channeling my aura into the life iron ore as it was brought to temperature. Thankfully the aura protected my skin and flesh from being burnt by the flames but that didn't mean this was comfortable at all for me. The smith was perfectly fine though and if anything seemed content to bask in this heat which given her blessing made sense. One the ore turned a bright color from the heat she pulled it out with her bare hand and held it as she beat it with her hammer into a long thin rod.-
I had to admit that her blessing really gave her an unfair advantage in this field as she had no need for the usual implements of metal working other than the cutting and shaping ones. The various tongs needed to work metal for most were unneeded for her since she could directly hold the scorching metal without worry. Anyways she ran the rod through the furnace until it was brought up to temp again before beating it even thinner. After repeating this process several times she rendered the ore into a hair thin pliable silk like thread that I carefully spooled up to cool for the tailor to use.-
"Just remember that whatever is left is mine." she said sternly before grabbing a nearby copper ingot and with a loud squealing of metal against metal bit through it. I wasn't bothered by that as she had put in the work and was probably a little hungry as a result. I reached into my bag and pulled out the special potion that was needed to make the thread truly able to be weaved since it was still metal in the end.-
I had long since prepared this potion with great difficulty as I was only an expert alchemist rather than a master that should normally have been responsible for this step. I left the shop holding the spool of thread that was rapidly cooling down and found the tailor waiting patiently. He saw me and eyed the spool carefully. "Good it's thin enough to work with. Needs to cool though since I am but a normal human and can't touch something hot like that without getting burnt." he said and I nodded.-
It didn't take long for the heat to dissipate as my constant input of aura rapidly displaced what remained after I doused it with the potion leaving a spool of glowing rainbow colored metal thread behind. The tailor wasted no time at all getting to work weaving the thread around my left hand first as my right was holding the spool. It was fascinating to watch the glove take shape around my hand from nothing but thread before the thread was cut upon completion of the first glove and the spool was transferred to my left hand as the right was made a glove.-
Sweat poured down the tailors face as he worked as this was incredibly precise work and the heat of the furnace pounding on him was a heavy strain. He pulled it off though as with one last tied knot and snip of the metal thread the gloves were done. It proved a close thing though as there was only about a foot and a half of thread left on the spool when he cut the end. I of course handed this small amount of to the smith who wasted no time at all taking it off the spool and tossing it in her mouth.-
She grimaced at the taste though almost immediately. "Ugh, why does it taste like bitter plants?" she asked annoyed. I chuckled "That would be the potion I dosed it in to make it pliable enough for our friend here to work with." I said amused while pointing at the tailor. "So it's literally covered in bitter plants then, makes sense. Still this is some interesting stuff, never felt anything like this from a metal before. Kinda gives me the impression it's not naturally occurring but that doesn't make any sense since it comes out as an ore." she said with an odd expression.-
I had to admit that this was a surprise to hear as I had absolutely no knowledge on if it was genuinely natural or if there was something artificial about it. As far as I knew it could be some relic of a long since lost to time civilization that had been pressured into an ore through time. The godly legendary pokemon likely knew the answer if they cared enough to anyways. Still this wasn't something I had any reason to look into as even if it were artificial in nature I highly doubt I'd ever find out how to make more.-
The metal was simply too unusual for that as on a molecular level the stuff was just normal iron yet it clearly had more to it that no one had ever figured out the reason for. Putting that aside I transferred two million poke to the tailor for his help and left for a training ground to release my pokemon and test out my new gloves. Appearance wise they were dull grey so long as I wasn't sending aura through them but turned into a shimmering rainbow color when I did.-
My first test was with the ability to create threads of aura from the fingertips that this sort of conduit weapon was most valuable for. I admit that it took me a couple of tries to figure out the trick to creating the threads and I was impressed by what I found while testing the threads. First and foremost I could move the threads through the air like an extension of my body and an extremely long one at that. This meant that I was effectively a better version of a spider with these threads as far as amount and control went at least.-
The threads were also incredibly strong as well to the point not even Gaia could break them despite trying her hardest. The really dangerous part though was that the tip of the threads were sharp enough to pierce even her carapace though with some effort. I could also sharpen the edges of the threads into a razor like state that I used to turn a coconut into a pile of mush by whipping it dozens of time in a split second by merely flexing my fingers. Honestly the most valuable thing though was the increased efficiency I had in trying to use a move.

I mean there are numerous people with psychic abilities, I'd assume at least a few of them could act like Professor X and just shut down people's brain
