The last event for day one was the blacksmithing competition , the event had some serious hype with many contestants trash talking to each other on social media about how they thought that the other was trash.

Not so Fatty anymore Kalash was sweating buckets again , he was getting the jitters before the event started. He was enjoying in the guild hall Rudra and Neatwit ' s performance , however, once their performance ended Kalash started feeling the heat. The entire guild would probably watch his and Jhonny's performance too. Not just the guild , millions would be seeing across the world , maybe even billions .

His girlfriend would be seeing too , however that did not matter anymore , he was starting to stress eat in his waiting time. All sorts of chocolates , puddings and cheese went into his mouth. When Rudra made his way to the guild he found his friend in a very pitiful situation.

Fatty looked at Rudra and said " I can't do it , I'm scared ".

Rudra sighed and patted his friends back , apparently he had lost his confidence from back at the camp and became gullible , he confided his fears in Rudra , and Rudra soothed his nerves. He explained to fatty how he was very talented and how he would do well .

Sometimes Rudra felt like he had two little brothers , apart from Max he also had his fatty best friend , who would go from reliable adult to a kid in a matter of minutes when crisis came. With only an hour left till the event started , Rudra felt the need to hurry up and prepare Fatty. He was not being himself and needed to be in pristine condition before the event started?mentally.

In a move he would regret forever , Rudra resorted to a method that works best in adults. But for whining three year olds , it was a disaster.

He clearly did not think it through well enough , as he gave Fatty a small bottle of rum. Rudra said " here , here buddy , take this liquid courage , it's what pirates used when they were terrified of the sea , this one is aged for 300 years , found from a shipwreck in Pacific Ocean , costed me a fortune. Come drink and become a mighty pirate ".

Fatty downed the whole bottle in one gulp , Rudra stared blankly , dumbfounded , that was 55% concentration liquor , not vodka shots!?The man just drank 350 ml of it in a single gulp!

After a minute , Fatty said " Thanx I feel better now ".

Rudra only wanted to give him a couple of sips , but the man drank the whole bottle , god knows how he will be after 1 hour when the effects of the bottle kick in. Rudra was worried , but there was literally nothing he could do right now to make this situation right , hence he let it be.

Contrary to Fatty Kalash , the room where Jhonny and Yume were sitting had a very different atmosphere. Jhonny and Yume were flipping a p*** magazine , and looking at god's beautiful creation. However from far away , Rudra had absolutely no idea what was going on , the only thing he could see was them flipping pages.

Rudra walked in and asked " You both good ".

This startled both Jhonny and Yume , however realizing that Rudra was too far away to see a thing Jhonny said " Yes I'm set , just flipping through some old school mechanical designs , you never know what materials they will give and what I can forge ".

Rudra thanked the heavens , atleast someone here had the sincerity and focus. He always felt Jhonny was a reliable man , as a mercenary he was a man of strength , focus and sheer f****** will!

Jhonny pointed to something and said " What body structure , what beautiful craftsmanship ".

Yume agreed " Look at the curvature , the size ratio , amazing ".

Rudra thought they were focusing on prepping here and did not need him , hence he did not bother them anymore , if he would actually even get a glance of the body structure they were admiring he would probably vomit blood.
