101 welcoming the new member of the family (1/2)
Looking at the surrounding, he nods. Alex had chosen the fountain of the school had made for the servant to do the laundry. Being a completely paved area, he wouldn't have to fear accidentally burning the ground.
With a rapid transmutation, the paved area rose from the ground, taking the shape of a smithing hearth without coals. On the side of the fountain, he made a little cooling tank. Taking the different materials out, he purified the coals, leaving a pile of powdered carbon while the rest was transmuted in a small diamond tank.
With some of the iron, he purified it as much as he can and form an anvil, pliers, a hammer, and a stirring diamond rod. Taking the iron, he put it in the tank before taking a deep breath.
Feeling his lungs fill, he delves deep until he could feel something stir, taking a hold of it, he breathed out, basking the iron in pure bluish-white flame. Taking great care as to only heating the diamond and not the stone, the iron rapidly bubble inside, completely melted.
Raising again the temperature, most of the impurities in the metal were completely burned. Taking the pliers, he partially immerses the diamond tank in the filled cooling tank, rapidly lowering the heat of the molten metal into a more solid form.
Done, he upside the tank, letting the chunk of still red iron fall on the anvil. securing the ingot, he starts to hammer it with a large and powerful strike. The steady striking sounds ring in the surroundings as the last of the impurities were chassed out of the smaller ingot.
#############################
This was something Alex has notice, while his transmutation skill was a great help, his creation has always lacked something as if the metal was dead. It wasn't until he spoke with one of the Goibinu Familia smiths that he learns that without real work, his creation will always lack something.
With the well of knowledge he had from the Harry Potter world, smithing was but a simple thing for him, even if he never practice before, the sheer numbers of weapons he had absorbed and analyze had left him enough to create his own style.
##############################
Letting the iron cool on the side, he repeats the same action with the chromium, copper, silver, and gold. While his amount of raw materials has diminished, he was now the only owner of the purest metal smithed of this world.
Weighting the ingot of iron and chromium and powdered carbon, he put 15% of chromium and 3% of carbon for the iron weight, aside. Those were the component of goblin steel from his native world but since he didn't have access to dragon fire, he would use his own to forge the magic metal.
Putting the cooled chromium back in the tank, he slowly rises the temperature, melting the solid into molasse before adding the iron. With it, a higher melting point than iron, the temperature of the chromium easily meld the added metal.
Before starting to mix both into a homogenous form, he adds the powdered carbon, raise the temperature while stirring with the diamond rod. Taking a more fluid form, the two metals and elements slowly mix into a perfect unique form.
Again, he partially cools the ingot before letting it fall on the anvil. Coating his and in fire and growing claws, he lightly touches the light red/bright yellow metal. Closing his eye, he pushes his magic in the block while activating his transmutation powers.
################################
If one were to stand on his side, he would see that the previous unique block was dividing into two long blades and a plethora of smaller blades. While the metal was still keeping its previous colors, their form slowly changes from mere blocks to more stylized ones, shaping like proper blades.
It didn't take long for Alex to give them a similar shape that the other pair he had created, doing the same for the throwing knives, without the crystals.
Their shapes done, the still-hot pieces of metal were immediately plunged in the cooling tank. Once the steam clear, he takes out the cold blades from the water., transmuting the surrounding back to its original shape.
The previous grey of the metal has completely vanished, leaving the place to a clear sky bluish-white, the same color of his fire. Even by just holding them in his hand, he could feel magic freely run into the blade.
Satisfied with the result, he takes the small pencil he made of the same metal and diamond and channel some magic in. The rune inscribes in the metal core lit up, turning the tip to a clear red, heated just enough before it turns from solid to liquid, and start to inscribe runes on the blades.
Being the first time he works with his newly created Evans steel, he didn't want to overwhelm the metal and risk to break it.
###########################
The firsts clusters added on the blades were security ones, no one others that those from his blood would be able to wield them. He had an unbreakable and sharpening one too before applying the same that was on the Gryffindor blade. While he doubts he would come again against something as corrosive as the basilisk venom, it didn't hurt to be prepared.
The throwing knives were given the same runes as the previous one, and smalls shard of gems were imbedded in the hilt to feed on his magic to power them, no longer will he count on external factor do power his weapons.
Taking the sturdiest wood he had in his storage, he quickly creates the handle for both long knives, before storing them all in his storage has he had wet to came with leather to create a sheath for them.
Cleaning his temporary workplace, he returns to Kirche's room to create a real wooden bed frame after vanishing the conjured one. Taking old mattresses, he deconstructs them, keeping the still good part, to create a new one, followed by brand new bedsheets.
He does the same from Kirche when he sees that he could give her a better night's comfort.
Still keeping in mind the measure for her bra, he shamelessly goes through her underwear, creating brand new bras one after others in different forms and added enchantment for comfort and added security.
Returning to Siesta's new room, he creates and enchanted window to given it natural light, even if the wall would have given in the bathroom. He creates a small tub for her to take a bath and a sink on the side, all connected to the school water system. He finishes with a wardrobe and a small dressing table with a mirror for her.
Knowing she would throw a fit seeing that he give a servant that much, he enlarges Kirche's bathroom, and tub, creates a larger wardrobe before creating clothes for her.
#####################
When the two girls return from the diner, Kirche being served by Siesta personally, they froze for a second in the new room. The previous standard-size room has doubled in volume, the wardrobe and dressing table were larger and with richer relief engraved in and an empty shelf had made its way in the room. The bed had also received an update and would easily house five people in.
A comfy closed basket for flame has replaced his cave-like kennel. Seeing his new house, Flame made his way in quickly before releasing a small growl of contentment when he feels the heated coal-like device under him giving a pleasant heat.
It was at this moment that Alex exit the room that he created.
”Ah, Siesta, good timing, came, tell me what you think about your new room.”
The two turn their head to him, before making their way in the other room as Alex opened the door for them to came in. The room had the size of the previous one of Kirche, the same size that any other noble kid in the school. Kirche was sure that more than one would throw a fit if they know it.
They were both surprised to see that this room too had natural light even if it wasn't linked to the exterior. They could see a bed; who was a little smaller than the one Kirche's had first, but still enough even for two-person. A wardrobe with the same coat of arms that one on her uniform, and small dressing table on the right side of the room.
