Gravis was still a bit confused, but as he saw his father's expression getting increasingly annoyed and bored, his eyes widened in realization.

"Wait, you're going to teach me!?" Gravis asked incredulously.

"Is that so strange?" his father asked.

Gravis rubbed the back of his neck in nervousness. "Well, don't take this the wrong way, but you never really taught me much regarding cultivation. I never even thought about the possibility that you would personally teach me something," Gravis said.

"That's because I want you to forge your own path," his father said, "but you can't forge your own path if you don't know how to forge."

Gravis blinked a couple of times. "Was that another joke?" he asked.

"Yes," the Opposer said with narrowed eyes.

"Eh, okay," Gravis said.

Some seconds passed in silence. Then, his father sighed.

"I'm your father. Teaching you something shouldn't be that strange to you," he said.

"I'm sorry, father. I just hadn't thought about that," Gravis said helplessly.

"It's okay," his father said, "I didn't really teach you much. So, such a reaction is to be expected. Anyway, we should get started."

Gravis nodded and stood up.

"Where are you going? You don't want to learn how to forge?" his father asked with his usual, even voice.

Gravis was confused again. "We're inside your room. I don't think we can forge here," Gravis said.

"Why not?" his father asked.

Gravis ruffled his hair in confusion. "Well, there is no oven, smelter, or whatever it's called. There is no water to cool the products or anything else. There is no equipment here," he said.

"Will you have such equipment in the middle world?" his father asked.

"Eh, no," Gravis answered.
