The third option was shorter than the others, but it appeared to be blocked off by rocks that required him to move them out of the way cautiously with his hands, otherwise, it may ruin everything. Kishin took his time, using his strength and experience as a laborer of many quests to carefully remove the rocks without causing any damage to the cavern. Once he had done so, he continued his exploration, finally coming to the end of the path where he found a small amount of the blue glowing metal that Barras had described. It was only a small amount, but it was enough to confirm that the metal did indeed exist within the cave.
Kishin felt a sense of excitement and accomplishment as he carefully collected a sample of the metal. He knew that this discovery would lead to the creation of powerful weapons and armor that would protect the people of Magnolia at least. He carefully made his way back out of the cave, avoiding the hole and making sure that he didn't get lost.
As he approached the entrance of the cavern, he saw the Rune Knights stationed there, blocking the way out. Kishin knew that he would have to be careful not to be seen as he sneaked past them. He waited for the right moment and then made his move, slipping past them undetected. Everything only took a matter of time. Once he was back in Magnolia, he immediately went to Barras to give him the information and show him the sample of the metal. Barras was overjoyed and thanked Kishin for his efforts. He rewarded him for his willingness to investigate and for discovering the rare metal.
