He walked to the table with the jug of water and a small bowl, then proceeded to wash his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was the day of his duel against Prince Garen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, he couldn’t help but sigh internally, not knowing what to feel about the Prince’s rather intense infatuation toward Vaan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, it was perfectly understandable since Vaan was a really cute girl—err, boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For men unaware of his true gender, falling for him was natural, given his lively, mischievous, and charismatic character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Alex, even if Vaan was really a girl, he would at most think of her as a mischievous little sister who liked to play pranks on others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I wonder how I should fight Prince Garen later,’ Alex thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Prince was a Rank 3 Solar Knight and was also just a step away from becoming Rank 4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, he was a Pseudo-Rank 4 Solar Knight, boasting great defense and offensive capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the resources of the Kingdom of Solara at his disposal, this wasn’t too surprising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Garen was capable of using Sun and Fire Magic, a nightmare combination for most people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alex still had a chance to win even as a mere Rank 2 Oathkeeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His shield, Svalinn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While it had yet to completely recognize Alex as its Master, the Shield still allowed the young man to wield it and even use a fraction of its powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had high resistance against Sun and Fire Magic, making it a perfect counter against Prince Garen’s magical abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After washing his face, the young man put on some casual clothes before leaving the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only had one class to attend today, though it wouldn’t be until the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It should be finished by now, right?’ Alex thought as he headed toward the Academy Gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His destination was the City of Harmonia, a kilometer away from the academy gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Covering that distance wasn’t a big deal to the students, and it also served as the perfect warm-up for Alex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he wasn’t in a hurry, he decided to jog instead of running until he reached the city gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From there, he went to the eastern side of the city, where the Artisan District was located.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was along this area that he had a shop make his Mimic Lantern, which had proven its worth during their recent expedition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning to the Heracle Mountain, Alex had commissioned one of the famous blacksmiths in the city to craft him a hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, the Blacksmith was very annoyed to hear Alex’s request for a special hammer that could be used in forging and in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even specified using Mithril and Adamantium as the materials to ensure it would be sturdy and serve as the perfect conduit for magical abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man also asked that a special magic be imbued in it, allowing the hammer to change its size and extend its length if Alex were to use it in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were other additional functions that he insisted on being added to his weapon, which made it veeeeeeeeery expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex flinched when the Blacksmith told him the cost of creating the hammer and his services.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a whopping four thousand gold coins, more than enough for Alex to buy dozens of weapons in an ordinary Weapon Shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A well-made ordinary sword usually cost fifty gold coins, and a superior grade was worth a hundred gold coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even those with special runes and abilities were only worth around one hundred-fifty up to two hundred gold coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put, the price tag the blacksmith had put on the War Hammer Alex wanted to customize was worth as much as a weapon bought in an auction house!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Alex tried to bargain, the blacksmith didn’t hesitate to literally kick him out of the shop, which made Dim Dim giggle nonstop, finding the scene comical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Alex relented and gave in to the blacksmith. Only he knew, but the person he chose was a future Legendary Blacksmith of the Kingdom of Avalon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, his works were not that popular yet. But Alex thought that forming a connection with him as early as now would earn him preferential treatment in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some time, Alex finally appeared in front of the Smithy that had the sign, \"Hammer Me Harder,\" written in bold silver letters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its owner, Magnus Bangforge, was a dwarf of culture, but this was a secret only known to a few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the reasons he agreed to craft Alex’s War Hammer was the special book that Alex had given to Magnus on their first meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was the name of that book?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was none other than the book that Alex had purchased from one of the bookstores in the city, and it was called \"School DxD,\" which Magnus reluctantly accepted as a bribe to craft Alex’s War Hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he entered the shop, the sound of a chime echoed inside its interior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex didn’t even need to call for Magnus. The sight that welcomed him was a dwarf snoring on a couch, the School DxD book lying pages down on his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing how grumpy Magnus was, Alex pondered what to do to wake up the sleeping dwarf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he couldn’t think of anything, so he decided to browse the weapons, armors, and other things on display for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... this Buckler looks good.\" Alex grabbed the small shield, a third of the size of Everguard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was lightweight and looked like something that would really hurt if Alex were to throw it at someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Alex also planned to commission a set of bracers from Magnus, which would also act like a shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, Alex could still fight in situations where he could not use Everguard and Svalinn in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even had a design in mind, something he worked on when he was still very active in the game as a Shield Savant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After placing the buckler back on display, Alex glanced at the short swords and daggers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also had thoughts of keeping a dagger or a short sword as a secondary weapon, which he believed would be useful on expeditions with his club members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he was about to take one of the daggers on display, a rustling sound reached his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnus had finally woken up, chugging a bottle of wine as his first drink of the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aye, that hits the spot,\" Magnus muttered as he propped himself up from the couch. \"You’ve come at the right time, Alex. I just finished your hammer last night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he would have to wait for a few more days before collecting the weapon he commissioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow me,\" Magnus ordered as he walked toward the forge room, so he could show the young man his recently finished masterpiece.\u003C\u002Fp>",1222,"2026-06-09T06:11:16.320Z",1,"novelbin.me","0472e37501cb3430bb661bf2baae81bbece63a85d55de734e1165526c8008041","endless-leveling-done-right-chapter-314","endless-leveling-done-right-chapter-312",682,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fendless-leveling-done-right-cover.jpg"]
