Tenkomori: The Homecoming Club Conquers Another World

Chapter 100.3 - The Second Year at the Academy - [Create Magical Tool] (3)

He's unusually well-prepared――was he expecting this?

No, perhaps he intended to train me here. It's possible with Rackendale.

"Now, let's begin!"

With a jingling sound, Rackendale grabbed a piece of equipment.

All of them have annotations like "Unstable" or "Solution Permeation" in their names.

With this level of preparation, all that's left is to combine them.

They are all more luxurious than my materials.

I receive the ring and examine it.

A small blue gem lined up on a silver base.

The decoration is quite impressive; it might cost a few gold coins if purchased.

Until now, they were cheap, so I had to forcibly fix them by shaving the base or bending the claws.

It won't work with high-quality items.

I have to carefully remove the stone.

Fortunately, magic stones are abundant. I should find one of the same size.

Even if I fail, returning the stone will only waste the magic stone.

Without a stone――I can fix it without causing damage.

It's a rare opportunity; I'll do it a little.

After that, I continued to create magical tools for a while.

During that time, Rackendale's eyes sparkled, and Cody stared suspiciously at my hands.

It's fine to watch, but please stay a bit away. It's incredibly awkward.

Feeling the heat right next to me, I completed the tasks for ten items.

"How is it?"

"Amazing, Alter-kun! Four of them are magical tools!"

"It's more successful than I thought, considering it's Rank 1."

"Well, even I haven't mastered it…"

While apologizing in my mind to the collapsing Cody, I activated [Appraisal] on the magical tools.

Ring of Water Resistance Down, Ring of Durability Enhancement, Necklace of Magic Power Increase, Dagger of Acceleration Decrease.

Not just the detachments, but there are also two decreases.

[Water Resistance Down] is the first Rank 2――should I be happy even though the effect is negative?

And [Magic Power Increase] seems convenient, but it's a fixed increase, so the effect is minimal.

At Rank 1, it won't even match beginner magic. In a similar system, there's ‘Magic Power Enhancement,' and this one is proportional. Despite its modest name, it's precious and not readily available.

However, the choices are not visible from [Synthesis] rather than [Appraisal].

Although I learned the skills and can choose, none are clear, and the resistance is strong.

Is it simply the difficulty of the skill, or the nature of the materials and magic stones?

[Magical Tool Creation] seems to be profound.

"There's no mistake. Alter-kun has mastered [Magical Tool Creation]. Otherwise, the success rate wouldn't be this high."

Rackendale examined carefully and explained each effect.

"Half of them are decreases."

"Decreases are useful too. When training with someone with a difference in strength, equipping a decreased magical tool makes it equal. There's surprisingly a demand for it."

It's an interesting use, but even with Lambert, the difference is too great.

Rather than that, it seems more useful in actual combat.

If I equip, and it decreases a lot, it might be training even in the area around low-level Selene. Let's try it next time.

"By the way, aren't you releasing it?"

"The magic stone's enchantment, huh? I've never done it, so I made it with the familiar method first."

"Using extra magic stones, the success rate increases and the options expand. Besides, you've just mastered ‘Magical Tool Creation.' As a magical tool craftsman, you've just begun. You have to try various things."

"I understand. I'm still Rank 1."

"Not that――"

Rackendale waved his round hand.

"For [Magical Tool Creation], there are derivative skills like [Magical Tool Modification] and [Magical Tool Sublimation]."

"That's news to me."

"It's content taught in three years. Even I didn't think I would learn it so quickly."

Rackendale chuckled and explained the derivative skills.
