This has got to be some sick joke.
[Report: Subject's Mana Capacity is very low, the lowest ever recorded. The only Class that matches the Subject's Mana Capacity is the F-Rank Class: Blacksmith.]
[Choose this Class?]
[~Yes~ or ~No~]
"You're kidding right!? The infamous Blacksmith Class, the only F-Rank Class in the world. No one has ever chosen it because no one has ever had to! Ever since the very beginning of the Great Age of Warriors 76 years ago. You're telling me my Mana Capacity is that low that my only option is an F-Rank Class!!?"
I screamed my lungs out while scratching my head, I knew I wouldn't get a strong Class sure, but this is just...
"This is just total madness, madness I tell ya!... Three years, three whole years of painstaking Mana training, heck I even trained my body beyond it's limits in order for it to be able to handle the Mana well, all those push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, all that weightlifting and for what!?"
Innate Mana Capacity refers to the Mana one receives from the get go in one go when they Awaken as a Warrior Candidate. From then on, they can decide whether to choose a Class right then and there if they're satisfied with their Capacity or to undergo Mana Training to gain more Mana Capacity. The Mana Capacity gained through Mana Training is known as Accumulated Mana Capacity. I spend an entire tireless three years training to increase my Overall Mana Capacity through Accumulated Mana. So yeah, it sucks big time knowing this is all it amounts to. The weakest Class.
~Sigh~
"Haaah, do I really have no choice?"
All in all, this is the Great Age of Warriors so even the weakest Warriors are treated with the utmost respect by normal people. Simply being a Warrior grants people privileges normal folks can only dream of. However, it goes without saying that weak Warriors are still treated like bugs by stronger Warriors.
"Now if I become the weakest Warrior in the entire world, just how much bullying am I gonna have to endure?"
I weighed my options. Really racked my brain around the issue, you know? It was either give up or give in.
Conclusion? I caved. Gave in completely.
There's no doubt I'll recieve some serious unmotivated hostility from other Warriors but hey, what can I say. Thou bridge art be crossed once I get to it.
So I, once again, pressed the 'Yes' button.
"Now, let's see what's in store for the weakest Warrior!"

"Item Space, wonder if there's anything in it right now..."
Item Space D-Rank contents:
• Hammer of Unknown Origin: A fiery and sturdy hammer that the Subject can use to craft equipment and the like... its origin is unknown, it possesses a small yet strong ego and emits an otherworldly energy signature. It's Grade cannot be measured yet due to how little information is known about it. It has completely acknowledged the user as its master.
• Great Pickaxe: A strong and sturdy pickaxe with magical properties. Its Grade is unknown due to its bizarre and foreign properties.
• Great Shovel: A strong and sturdy shovel with magical properties. Its Grade is unknown due to its bizarre and foreign properties.

• Everchanging Anvil: A special anvil that can change into any desired shape to be able to produce any desired weapon.
• Various planks of wood.
• Various fabrics: Leather, cotton, silk etc...
After reading the contents, I decided to take out the hammer to check it out.
"Well, this doesn't look so bad. Maybe I can even use this to fight, should the need arise. The pickaxe and shovel can work too, I don't think the System would've mentioned their Grades unless it acknowledged them as possible weapons. Speaking of...wonder when I should start crafting some weapons to check out my skills. Sucks that I won't get to use those weapons though but you gotta work with what you have I guess"
[Report. Class choosing process has ended. Due to the long neglect the Blacksmith Class has gone through over the years, its contents were slightly changed and a few advanced features were added, however it was decided that the Class would be deleted from the Harmonia System after a certain time, that time has come. Hence from this day forward, the Blacksmith Class will no longer be found in the Harmonia System.]
"Oi maan. Wakanda shidis dis?"
"You're telling me that I'm officially the only Blacksmith in the entire world!? So even if another poor sap like yours truly, with low Mana Capacity shows up, they'll at least be able to get an E-Rank Class!? Boy, this just keeps getting better and better..."
Of course, I was being sarcastic.
"Hah, whatever...I should start packing to head over to District-2"
So I started packing, three suitcases worth of clothes and blankets filled the entire back of my car. Afterwards I gave my former landlady the key to what now used to be my room, bid her farewell then left. I had already quit my cashier job so all I had to do now was formally leave District-3, this country's safe zone and head straight to District-2, where most of this country's dungeons are located. It was a six-hour drive, I found myself slightly getting sleepy halfway through, so I kept making a few stops to buy some energy drinks along the way. When I finally arrived. I stopped by a hotel and rented a room for the week.
"Alright, let's get settled"
I started unpacking.
"I'm gonna have to see about buying myself a house once I officially register myself as a Warrior. Speaking of which, I should head on over there, right now. The Warriors Association, but first, I'll take my skills out on a test drive and see about crafting a weapon"
I conjured out my hammer from the Item Space Skill and thought about conjuring out the Dragon Furnace but I then noticed that the space in the room was not enough, so I moved my bed out of the way to make some room.
"I probably shouldn't be doing this in a room I'm only renting for the week but whatever..."
I pulled out the iron, a single bar, weighing 10 kilograms. I then conjured out the furnace along with the anvil then started melting away the iron. I decided to make a sword. No, it was really more of a blade to be specific. For some reason it was fairly easy to comprehend how to make it; its shape, density, durability, everything just felt like it naturally came to me. Must've been the Weapon Fanatic Skill. After completely melting the bar of iron, I poured the molten along the anvil to design the blade's shape. After it started to cooldown I started hammering away to refine it more, I further advanced the refining process by sharpening its required edges. I finished up then returned the furnace, hammer and anvil back into the Item Space.
The blade had an incredibly sharp cutting edge, it's handle made of strong wood coated and tied tight with strands of leather. Honestly, it looked like a work of art, shining ever so elegantly. Once again, I was sad that I wouldn't be able to use it.
