'Apakah dia membagikannya?'
Sejenak, Nilia ragu-ragu, bertanya-tanya apakah dia berperilaku aneh.
Sekarang yang dipikirnya, Wardanaz benar-benar menjual sesuatu dengan harga yang sangat murah.
Sebenarnya, sampai pada tingkat di mana sebagian besar teman-temannya memahami bisnis Wardanaz dengan cara yang sedikit berbeda.
-Apakah Wardanaz melakukan itu untuk mendapatkan koin perak?-
-Benar. Dia hanya membuat alasan seperti itu karena ada anak-anak yang tidak bisa menerimanya karena kebanggaan mereka jika dia hanya memberitahu mereka untuk mengambilnya.-
-Wardanaz benar-benar... Dia tidak perlu membuatnya begitu rumit bagi kami dan bisa hanya memberikannya kepada kami. Benar, Wardanaz?-
-Tidak? Bayar. Jangan berbicara omong kosong.-
-Haha. Aku tahu. Aku tahu.-
Nilia ingin membagikan hal-hal yang dia buat dengan rekan-rekannya tanpa biaya apa pun, seperti saat dia berada di gunung, tetapi mungkin metode Wardanaz itu benar.
Teman-temannya mungkin secara diam-diam tidak menyukai hanya menerima sesuatu.
"...Memang benar. Teman-temanku mungkin tidak menyukai hanya menerima sesuatu. Benar?"
"Apa yang kamu bicarakan?"
Yi-han memandang Nilia seolah-olah dia sedang mengatakan sesuatu yang aneh.
Dia merencanakan untuk membuatnya dengan baik, menjualnya dengan baik, dan mendapatkan sejumlah besar uang, jadi dia benar-benar bingung ketika Nilia mengatakan sesuatu yang aneh.
"Tidak... Eh... Nah, berbagi dengan teman-teman. Aku sedang memikirkan untuk hanya berbagi..."
"Nilia. Seperti yang aku katakan terakhir kali, kamu harus menerima uang untuk apa yang kamu kuasai dan mengkonversi nilainya."
'Aduh.'
Secepatnya Yi-han mulai berbicara, Nilia berpikir, aduh.
Menilai dari sikapnya, tampaknya dia akan berbicara selama lebih dari sepuluh menit.
Terakhir kali juga, ketika dia berkata, "Aku membagikan apa yang aku buru kemarin dengan teman-temanku karena mereka lapar," dia ditangkap oleh Wardanaz dan Yonaire dan harus mendengarkan kuliah selama tiga puluh menit tentang topik "Nilia, bagaimana kamu akan bertahan di Einroguard yang keras seperti itu? Kami sangat khawatir."
"Hei. Itu bukan itu. Uang! Uang! Aku hanya bercanda!"
"Benar? Apakah kamu tulus berpikir seperti itu?"
"T-tentu saja!"
Mata Nilia bergerak liar ke kiri dan kanan. Yi-han memandangnya dengan curiga dan kemudian mengangguk.
"Hmm. Aku mengerti."
"Oh. Nona Nilia. Terima kasih banyak atas sarung tangan kulit yang kamu berikan kepadaku kemarin. Berkat mereka, aku bisa menangani dingin bahkan saat bekerja seperti ini hari ini."
Rowena, yang telah menyelesaikan pekerjaannya, mengelap keringatnya dan mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Nilia.
"..."
"..."
Yi-han menatap Nilia.
Nilia dengan cepat mengambil peti dan berlari ke ruang kuliah.
***
Decit-
"Ugh."
Anglago panik dan melihat sekeliling ketika dia mencium bau kulit yang terbakar.
Profesor Verduus, yang duduk di sudut ruang kuliah memperbaiki artefak, berbicara tanpa bahkan melihat.
"Tuangkan larutan penetral di sebelahnya... Tunggu. Terlambat. Ganti dengan kulit yang berbeda."
"...M-maaf. Wardanaz."
Anglago memohon maaf, merasa malu tentang membakar kulit yang berharga.
Yi-han berbicara dengan lembut dan murah hati.
"Tidak apa-apa. Kamu akan membayarnya bagaimanapun."
"...Eh? Itu, itu tidak gratis?"
"Gratis sebagai kompensasi untuk pekerjaan jika kamu menyelesaikannya dengan benar. Jika kamu gagal, aku tidak bisa menjualnya."
"Benar. Alpha. Kamu harus tahu betapa berharganya bahan-bahannya."
Salko, yang ada di belakang, melambaikan palu seolah-olah menegurnya.
"Inilah sebabnya pria keluarga ksatria adalah... Selalu mengayunkan pedang, jadi kamu tidak tahu betapa sulitnya membuat sesuatu dan membuang-buang bahan."
"Ah. Tutanta benar. Kamu membuang-buang bahan karena itu bukan yang kamu bawa, benar? Bagaimanapun juga, orang-orang dari Menara Macan Putih seperti itu."
'Ah, brengsek-brengsek ini.'
Menara Kura-kura Hitam dan Menara Naga Biru tidak terlalu rukun, tetapi mereka sangat akur ketika mengutuk menara lain.
Plek!
Salko mengeluarkan sebuah rintihan yang rendah.
Saat mengukir pola lingkaran sihir, benang emas yang tertanam di dalamnya putus karena kelebihan mana.
"Haha! Brengsek Tutanta!"
"Membuang-buang bahan! Membuang-buang bahan yang dikumpulkan Wardanaz dengan darah dan keringat!"
Siswa Menara Macan Putih berdiri dari belakang dan berteriak seolah-olah mereka telah menunggu.
"Benang emas bukanlah bahan yang aku kumpulkan..."
"Mohon maaf kepada Wardanaz! Mohon maaf kepada Wardanaz!"
"Diam. Bahkan jika aku memohon maaf, itu bukan karena kamu memberitahuku!"
"Jadi itu bukan bahan yang kamu kumpulkan..."
Yi-han, yang mencoba menghentikan mereka, menjadi kesal dan hanya memukulnya dengan tongkatnya.
Pukul pukul pukul pukul pukul!
"Ahhh! Aaaahhh!"
"Berhenti. Berhenti. Kalian menunda pekerjaan karena ini."
Siswa-siswa kembali fokus pada pekerjaan mereka.
Tentu saja, pandangan saling memantau masih belum hilang. Mata mereka hanya bersinar dengan tampilan 'Coba saja dan ketahuan'.
"Ah."
Nilia berhenti ketika kulit sobek. Itu sobek saat dia mencoba menyelesaikan tepi kulit dengan rapi.
Siswa Menara Macan Putih, yang menemukan Nilia dengan wajah yang penuh air mata, matanya bersinar. Siswa Menara Kura-kura Hitam bersiap untuk dengan sengit berkelahi untuk teman menara mereka.
"..."
"..."
Namun, siswa Menara Macan Putih dengan tenang mengalihkan pandangan mereka seolah-olah mereka tidak melihatnya setelah melihat wajah Nilia.
Mereka telah menerima terlalu banyak dari Nilia untuk menyerang di sini.
"Apa ini lelucon?!"
"Hei. Diam."
"M-maaf. Wardanaz."
***
'Hmm. Aku bertanya-tanya mengapa para senior menyimpan hal-hal seperti baju besi, tetapi ada alasan untuk semuanya.'
Yi-han menganggukkan kepalanya, mengingat hal-hal yang telah diberikan oleh senior Anpagon dan Balpatan kepadanya sebagai kompensasi untuk pekerjaan terakhir kali.
Bukan hanya berbagai kain tetapi juga beberapa set baju besi yang sudah selesai, jadi dia berpikir mungkin ada perang, tetapi sekarang yang dipikirnya, baik untuk memiliki baju besi dengan banyak cara di Einroguard bahkan pada basis reguler.
Ketika mereka membuat berbagai pakaian baru, termasuk jas seperti ini, pentingnya pertahanan dirasakan baru.
"Buatnya sedikit lebih tebal. Agar bisa menghalangi panah saat mereka terbang."
"Kami harus menghalangi bahkan panah?"
"Baik jika kami bisa menghalanginya. Apakah kamu bisa melihat dan menghindari panah? Bahkan panah yang diperkuat sihir dengan lapisan ganda? Mengapa kamu begitu sombong? Bagaimana jika jebakan dengan panah yang diperkuat sihir dengan lapisan ganda diatur di depan asramamu, apakah kamu akan mati begitu saja?"
"..."
Anglago, yang telah mengajukan pertanyaan dan hanya menerima teguran, dengan tenang mengambil alat lagi.
Tampaknya ini sudah cukup, tetapi tujuan Wardanaz terlalu tinggi.
'Bagaimana dia melakukannya...'
Anglago melihat pekerjaan Wardanaz dengan pandangan mata.
Dan kemudian dia terkejut.
Di dalam jas, lingkaran sihir yang terlalu kompleks untuk dipahami hanya dengan satu pandangan ditumpukkan di atas satu sama lain.
Tentu saja, Wardanaz mengerutkan kening dan merenungkan seolah-olah dia telah memukul jalan buntu.
"Pengerasan tidak direalisasikan."
"Eh, bukankah itu terlalu serakah?"
"Begitukah?"
Yi-han mengangkat kepalanya, berpikir sejenak, dan kemudian mengangkat bahu.
"Tidak. Jika kami menggunakan bahan, kami harus melakukan setidaknya sebanyak ini."
"Kamu memasukkan terlalu banyak sihir? Kurangi. Ini keajaiban yang tidak meledak."
Profesor Verduus, yang lewat, melihat jas Yi-han dan berbicara dengan blak-blakan.
Yi-han mengurangi sihir, terlihat suram.
'Brengsek gila...'
Anglago berpikir dia hanya harus membuat jas hangat dan mengalihkan pandangannya.
"Oh. Ujian akhir dalam 2 minggu, benar?"
Siswa yang dengan bingung membuat pakaian secara bersamaan mengangkat kepala mereka.
Mereka tidak bisa tidak tertarik ketika topik ujian keluar dari mulut Profesor Verduus.
"Kami akan melakukan pembuatan artefak sederhana tepat di sini."
"Apakah kami perlu menyiapkan bahan atau reagen terlebih dahulu?"
"Jenis artefak apa yang harus kami buat?"
"Tunggu."
Ketika Profesor Verduus menerima pertanyaan dari siswa, dia menggali kantongnya dan mengeluarkan selembar kertas.
"Mari kita lihat... Beavle, jika kamu mengabaikan kata-kata saya lagi dan bertindak sendiri, aku akan menyumbat kamu terbalik di ruang hukuman... Ah. Tidak. Itu bagian belakangnya."
"..."
Profesor Verduus membalik kertas dan membacanya. Itu jelas ujian yang telah diperintahkan oleh kepala sekolah tengkorak.
"'Bahan dan reagen harus yang digunakan dan dibuang oleh siswa tahun ini'."
"Pardon?"
"Tidak, bagaimana kami bisa melakukan itu??"
Ada pepatah bahwa pengrajin tidak menyalahkan alatnya, tetapi sebenarnya itu adalah pepatah yang salah.
Semakin mahir pengrajinnya, semakin terobsesi dia dengan satu alat tunggal.
Lihat saja Profesor Verduus.
Dia adalah orang yang tidak peduli dengan segala hinaan pada dirinya, tetapi saat seseorang menyentuh peralatannya, dia akan melakukan mobilisasi semua artefak yang dimilikinya dan membombardir mereka, bukan?
Selain itu, bahan-bahan yang dibuang.
"Ini... Itu sudah bukan kulit lagi, itu gumpalan arang."
Anglago memeriksa kulit yang telah dia bakar dan lemparkan ke dalam peti di sebelahnya.
Membuat artefak dengan ini?
Siswa lainnya tidak berbeda.
Ketika mereka memeriksa berapa beragam mereka telah menghancurkan bahan sepanjang tahun, wajah mereka pucat.
Yi-han tidak goyah.
Dia segera mengambil pisau ukir dan mencoba membuat goresan pada kulit yang utuh.
'Jika aku menambah sampah yang dapat digunakan sekarang, itu akan baik-baik saja.'
"'Wardanaz. Jangan tingkatkan sampah yang dapat digunakan setelah mendengar ini. Aku akan memeriksa dan mengambilnya'.'
"..."
Yi-han melihat profesor dengan
Chapter 545
'Is he sharing them?'
For a moment, Nillia hesitated, wondering if she was being strange.
Come to think of it, Wardanaz was really selling things at very low prices.
In fact, to the extent that most of his friends understood Wardanaz's business in a slightly different way.
-Is Wardanaz doing that to earn silver coins?-
-Right. He's just making an excuse like that because there are kids who can't accept it due to their pride if he just tells them to take it.-
-Wardanaz is really... He doesn't need to make it so bothersome for us and can just give it to us. Right, Wardanaz?-
-No? Pay up. Don't talk nonsense.-
-Haha. I know. I know.-
Nillia wanted to share the things she made with her comrades without any compensation, like when she was in the mountains, but perhaps Wardanaz's method was right.
Her friends might secretly dislike just receiving them.
"...Indeed. My friends might dislike just receiving them. Right?"
"What are you talking about?"
Yi-Han looked at Nillia as if she was saying something strange.
He was planning to make them well, sell them well, and earn a substantial sum, so he was utterly puzzled when Nillia said something strange.
"No... Uh... Well, sharing with friends. I was thinking of just sharing..."
"Nillia. As I said last time, you have to receive money for what you're good at and convert its value."
'Oops.'
As soon as Yi-Han started talking, Nillia thought, oops.
Judging by his attitude, it seemed like he would talk for more than ten minutes.
Last time too, when she said, "I shared what I hunted yesterday with my friends because they were hungry," she was caught by Wardanaz and Yonaire and had to listen to a thirty-minute lecture on the topic of "Nillia, how are you going to survive the harsh Einroguard like that? We're worried sick."
"Hey. That's not it. Money! Money! I was just kidding!"
"Really? Do you sincerely think so?"
"Of, of course!"
Nillia's eyes wavered left and right. Yi-Han looked at her suspiciously and then nodded.
"Hmm. I see."
"Oh. Miss Nillia. Thank you so much for the leather gloves you gave me last time. Thanks to them, I can handle the cold even when working like this today."
Rowena, who had finished her work, wiped her sweat and expressed her gratitude to Nillia.
"..."
"..."
Yi-Han stared at Nillia.
Nillia quickly picked up the chest and ran to the lecture room.
***
Sizzle-
"Gasp."
Anglago panicked and looked around when he smelled burning leather.
Professor Verduus, who was sitting in the corner of the lecture room repairing an artifact, spoke without even looking.
"Pour neutralizing solution next to it... Wait. Too late. Change to a different leather."
"...So-sorry. Wardanaz."
Anglago apologized, feeling self-conscious about burning the precious leather.
Yi-Han spoke softly and generously.
"It's okay. You're going to pay for it anyway."
"...Huh? It, it wasn't free?"
"It's free as compensation for the work if you complete it properly. If you fail, I can't sell it."
"That's right. Alpha. You should know how precious the materials are."
Salko, who was behind, waved his hammer as if admonishing him.
"This is why knight family guys are... Always swinging swords, so you don't know how hard it is to make things and waste materials."
"Ah. Tutanta is right. You're wasting materials because they're not what you brought, right? Anyway, White Tiger Tower guys are like that."
'Ah, these bastards.'
The Black Tortoise Tower and the Blue Dragon Tower weren't particularly on good terms, but they got along very well when cursing another tower.
Snap!
Salko let out a low groan.
While engraving the pattern of the magic circle, the gold thread embedded inside snapped due to excessive mana.
"Haha! Tutanta, you bastard!"
"Wasting materials! Wasting the materials that Wardanaz collected with blood and sweat!"
The White Tiger Tower students stood up from behind and shouted as if they had been waiting.
"The gold thread is not the material I collected..."
"Apologize to Wardanaz! Apologize to Wardanaz!"
"Shut up. Even if I apologize, it's not because you told me to!"
"So it's not the material you collected..."
Yi-Han, who was trying to stop them, got annoyed and just hit his friends with his staff.
Thwack thwack thwack thwack thwack!
"Ahh! Aaahh!"
"Stop it. Stop. You guys are delaying the work because of this."
The students focused on their work again.
Of course, the glances of monitoring each other still didn't disappear. Their eyes only sparkled with the look of 'Just try and get caught'.
"Ah."
Nillia paused when the leather tore. It tore while she was trying to neatly finish the edge of the leather.
The White Tiger Tower students, who discovered Nillia with a tearful face, had their eyes sparkling. The Black Tortoise Tower students prepared to fiercely fight for their fellow tower friend.
"..."
"..."
However, the White Tiger Tower students quietly turned their gazes away as if they hadn't seen it after looking at Nillia's face.
They had received too much from Nillia to attack here.
"Are you kidding me?!"
"Hey. Be quiet."
"So-sorry. Wardanaz."
***
'Hmm. I was wondering why the seniors were keeping things like armor, but there was a reason for everything.'
Yi-Han nodded his head, recalling the things that seniors Anpagon and Balpatan had gifted him as compensation for work last time.
Not only various cloth but also a few sets of completed armor, so he thought there might have been a war, but come to think of it, it was good to have armor in many ways at Einroguard even on a regular basis.
As they made various new clothes, including coats like this, the importance of defense was newly felt.
"Make it a bit thicker. So it can block arrows when they come flying."
"We have to block even arrows?"
"It's good if we can block them. Can you see and dodge arrows? Even magically reinforced arrows with multiple layers? Why are you so arrogant? What if a trap with magically reinforced arrows with multiple layers is set up in front of your dormitory, will you just die?"
"..."
Anglago, who had asked a question and only received scolding, quietly grabbed the tools again.
It seemed like this much would be enough, but Wardanaz's goal was too high.
'How is he doing it...'
Anglago glanced at Wardanaz's work.
And then he was appalled.
Inside the coat, magic circles that were too complex to grasp with just one look were layered on top of each other.
Of course, Wardanaz was frowning and pondering as if he had hit a roadblock.
"The hardening is not being realized."
"Uh, isn't that too greedy?"
"Is it?"
Yi-Han raised his head, thought for a moment, and then shrugged his shoulders.
"No. If we're using materials, we should do at least this much."
"You put in too much magic? Reduce it. It's a wonder it didn't explode."
Professor Verduus, who was passing by, saw Yi-Han's coat and spoke bluntly.
Yi-Han reduced the magic, looking gloomy.
'Crazy bastard...'
Anglago thought he should just make a warm coat and turned his gaze.
"Oh. The final exams are in 2 weeks, right?"
The students who were frantically making clothes simultaneously raised their heads.
They couldn't help but be interested when the topic of exams came out of Professor Verduus's mouth.
"We'll do simple artifact making right here."
"Do we need to prepare materials or reagents in advance?"
"What kind of artifact do we have to make?"
"Wait."
When Professor Verduus received questions from the students, he rummaged through his pockets and took out a piece of paper.
"Let's see... Beavle, if you ignore my words one more time and act on your own, I'll stuff you upside down in the punishment room... Ah. No. It's the back."
"..."
Professor Verduus flipped the paper and read it. It was clearly an exam that the skull principal had instructed.
"'The materials and reagents should be the ones used and discarded by the students this year'."
"Pardon?"
"No, how can we do that??"
There was a saying that a craftsman doesn't blame his tools, but in fact, it was a false saying.
The more excellent the craftsman, the more obsessed he was with a single tool.
Just look at Professor Verduus.
He was a person who didn't care about any insult to himself, but the moment someone touched his equipment, he would mobilize all the artifacts he had and bombard them, wouldn't he?
Moreover, discarded materials.
"This... It's not leather anymore, it's a lump of charcoal."
Anglago checked the leather he had burned and thrown into the chest next to him.
Make an artifact with this?
The other students were no different.
When they checked how diversely they had shattered materials throughout the year, their faces turned pale.
Yi-Han was not shaken.
He immediately picked up a carving knife and tried to make a scratch on the intact leather.
'If I increase the usable discards now, it'll be fine.'
"'Wardanaz. Don't increase the usable discards after hearing this. I'll check and take them'."
"..."
Yi-Han looked at the professor with a face that had been hit by the skull principal's message.
Predicted!
'Damn. I'm still far away.'
Professor Verduus, who had read all of written by the skull principal, spoke to the students.
"It's good that you don't need to prepare materials, right?"
"..."
"Cr... Craaaaah!"
An angry White Tiger Tower student finally exploded and rushed at Professor Verduus.
Professor Verduus threw the student out the window, looking puzzled.
"What's wrong with him?"
"There are occasionally people who go mad among the students."
Professor Verduus nodded his head as if he understood Yi-Han's words.
"I see it every year."
"Oh dear."
Yi-Han clicked his tongue while listening to the fresh stories of his seniors.
If you're going to attack, do it more meticulously!
***
"Everyone, come get your clothes."
"Wardanaz. This is too small for me."
"There are bigger sizes in the back. Ymirg. I made your robe separately, so take that one. Gainando. You bastard. Don't choose by color, check if the size fits."
"Ah, no? This fits me perfectly?"
Gainando held up pants that seemed three sizes too big for him and shook them.
The wrinkles that looked like a skeleton were just his style.
"If you don't hold up your pants like last time, I'll take your cards."
The Immortal Phoenix Tower priests who were helping next to him asked in puzzlement.
"Isn't there a belt?"
"That guy lost his belt while playing cards too."
"..."
"...It might be better to take them..."
Gainando took the intact pants and ran away.
Yi-Han was currently distributing winter clothing for cold protection with the help of the Immortal Phoenix Tower students.
It seemed easy compared to the production, but this was also quite tricky.
He had to check the performance of the finished products and do a simple test to see if they fit his friends.
"Thank you all for your help."
"Of course we should help when you're doing such a good deed."
"Huh? I'm selling them for money?"
"...Uh..."
The priest looked at Nillia.
Didn't she say he was sharing them?
Priestess Siana spoke as if not to worry.
"If he sells them much cheaper than the market price, it's sharing."
"Is, is that so?"
"Of course it is."
'As expected of the Flameng Order.'
Yi-Han slightly raised his favorable impression of the Flameng Order.
The students, who were heavily armed from head to toe with newly equipped clothes, had an expression that they could finally live.
Anglago, who was going around asking for opinions on the clothes he made with a proud expression, saw the pile of luggage Yi-Han had stacked behind the stall and asked in puzzlement.
"Wardanaz. What's that?"
"Ah. Tents and sleeping bags made from leftover materials."
"...Why?"
"We might need them, you know."
"??"
In Anglago's mind, there was no need for such camping equipment.
Of course, if you crawled into the mountains, there would be occasions when you needed them, but who would crawl into the mountains to camp in this winter?
