My Magic Tools Are Selling Too Well

7 – Traumatized junior and foxtail (2)

After that day, Morphine and Delia visited the Alchemy Shop several more times.

In fact, I wondered if these two, who were mere freshmen, would be able to interpret the principles and theories of the magic circuit contained in the magic tools just by looking at them.

The magic circuit is integrated into the continent and human life in general, such as the human body that handles magic, Mother Nature everywhere that contains mysteries, and magic tools that handle special powers.

It was one of the biggest branches that scholars studying magic study, so it was selected as a liberal arts subject that first-year students must learn.

Because of this, I thought that this assignment that Professor Bluecliffe had given was too difficult for freshmen.

Maybe they know that too.

There’s no way some pretty smart guys don’t know this.

No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed like they were coming to play with the excuse of an assignment.

“Are there any classes? It seems like you come every day, you guys.”

“It’s a shame, but freshmen can’t take night classes after 6 p.m., senior. We genuinely want to explore the magic tools made by you and the magic tools of various researchers, and to know the subtleties of the magical circuits contained in them, so I hope you understand that we are just coming here with a pure heart, senpai.”

“that’s right… It’s a pure reply… .”

You agree with that sophistry?

Delia also went with morphine and seemed to be getting a little weird.

My tolerance has gotten stronger, so now when I call it foxtail, there is no reaction.

“Ugh… If there are only guests, we will kick them out right away.”

Today’s Alchemy Shop wasn’t too crowded.

After all, is the business a one-iron business?

The line-up of customers at the Alchemy Shop, which seemed to last forever, was something that could hardly be seen now.

When the practice season of other departments returns, there will be items in demand, but the alchemy shop is quite empty now that the exam period is approaching.

In line with that, I was changing my route from selling a large amount of one item to selling a small amount of various items.

Thanks to such a strategic move, my magic tools were always sold out, but it’s safe to say that the chain effect of selling other magic tools was rare these days.

Well, in the first place, the alchemy shop itself was not a popular store compared to specialized stores like weapon shops and armor shops, so it was a natural procedure.

“Seniors. What are you doing after work at the store today? We are very free. ha ha ha.”

Morphine suddenly came behind me and began to massage my shoulders.

It was an obvious action.

It wasn’t that bad though.

Is it because he shows a consistent attitude, or is it because he is used to it?

Whatever it was, I knew that this guy and Delia’s intentions were purely out of curiosity.

Just like when I first sold magic tools to the Alchemy Shop.

Until now, I had cut off such flattery like a knife, but since the effort was imaginary, I wanted to take it for a day.

There are only two juniors who want it so desperately, but they turn away.

“Do you want to go to the studio?”

He said, taking out the pipe from his mouth once.

At that one word, Morphine and Delia’s pupils widened like stone statues.

Lest I change my mind, the morphine reacted at the speed of light.

“I want to go! Never, never, never want to go, senpai! I won’t make an accident, I’ll just watch quietly! Please let go!”

“Never is used in negative sentences, dude. Foxtail, do you want to go too?”

Delia showed an unusually happy expression and nodded her head instead of answering.

It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a face like that.

Is the studio view that good?

Well, when I think about how I felt when I was first assigned to the studio at the research institute, I fully understood the joy of my juniors.

I put on my pipe, packed my things lightly, and got ready to go.

I prepared everything in advance, and now all I have to do is move my body.

“Follow me. It’s a workshop that’s used at night, so just watch it quietly.”

“… … !”

“It’s an honor, senior! big. There is only one senior. I really respect you, senior. The rising star of alchemy, the hope of alchemy, and the future of alchemy! Because there is a senior, today… ”

“Please shut that mouth, morphine.”

The laboratory building was painted in alternating white and red colors.

Most of the designs were similar, from the stairs at the entrance to the rooftop.

It was a strange appearance that seemed to express pure whiteness and blood.

When I was curious about this, Professor Melaine replied that it was an expression of the spirit of alchemists who create something out of nothing.

I think there is a big contradiction in that statement.

For an alchemist is not one who creates something out of nothing.

An alchemist is a technician who transforms existing substances into other substances.

In the process, supernatural phenomena and magic were manifested, but the main point was transformation anyway.

Because of the point of inventing magical tools, it seemed that established alchemists had a false sense of self-esteem.

“This is the studio I was assigned to. Don’t touch anything and come in carefully.”

I opened the door to the workshop located on the outermost part of the 3rd floor and entered.

Morphine and Delia looked around with curious eyes and slowly entered the workshop.

Basic materials for crafting magic tools are basically provided in the laboratory workshop.

First of all, [Low Magic Stone].

Mana stone is a special stone that has a certain amount of magic power, and it was the first key material used in the production of stones such as [Explosion Stone].

Mana Stones could be obtained by mining in special terrain containing magical powers or by hunting monsters.

“You can also get it from dungeons as well. Not hunting monsters in the dungeon, but if there is a magic stone in the master room. There are places where the magic stones are piled up like a mountain, and there are places where there are just a few.”

“omg. Senior, have you been to the dungeon? Isn’t there combat practice in the second year?”

“When I was little, I followed my father for a while.”

At the end of the dungeon created through a special gate, there is a special room called the ‘Master Room’.

When you reach this place through the first dungeon discovered, there are many cases where the owner has hidden treasure.

From jewels to weapons, armor, and even magic tools.

The magic stone was one of the rewards that could be found among them.

So, among the wandering warriors, there were quite a few warriors who were only looking for these undiscovered dungeons, aiming to make a fortune.

“The second basic ingredient provided is purified water.”

“Demand for refinery?”

“uh. The basic key ingredient for making potions that you are so curious about.”

[Purified water] is basically used when making potions.

This is because water (potion) with special effects can only be created when ingredients are added to clean water that is free of impurities.

Not all potions use only purified water.

In the case of health potions, using [Divine Water] is much easier and more effective.

In particular, from the intermediate physical strength potion, the ingredients did not react well unless it was [Sacred Water].

“Generally, when making a low-grade health potion with purified water, ‘Flanders Leaf’, ‘Terraposium’, a handful of soil, and a little mana stone powder are added. When it’s a sacred tree, ‘Flemish leaves’ don’t go in. This recipe is also in the book, so you guys have probably seen it at first glance.”

Morphine and Delia nodded as if they did.

No matter what anyone says, the flower of magic tool production is potion.

All alchemists who were recognized as worthy warriors knew how to make potions, and the alchemy department students aspired to be able to make potions as soon as possible.

Because of this, even though they were freshmen, they also knew the basic recipe for making potions.

“senior… The manufacturing method is the same, but why are the performance different for each maker… ?”

Delia carefully raised her hand and asked.

Seeing that, I laughed for some reason.

The first reason was that Delia asked this, not morphine, and the second reason was that she was bringing the kids and explaining it as if it were a lecture.

It felt like I was a professor in charge of the ‘Understanding Potion Production’ lecture.

“Because the ratio is different. Even if the same material is used, the amount used in the process of combining is different. Even if Flemish leaves are added in the same way, some makers use large leaves, while others cut leaves in half. So is the soil. A handful of soil, don’t you think it’s too abstract? The amount that each person can hold is different.”

“aha… ”

Delia nodded as if she understood only then.

Alchemists did not dare to reveal the detailed and specific recipe for magic tools.

This is because, in the end, any magic tool must be created by oneself to be a meaningful result.

The domain of theory is common, but practice is its own domain.

Unlike the Faculty of Swordsmanship or the Faculty of Magic, the Faculty of Alchemy had a particularly strong tendency.

No matter what the outcome was, the process of reaching it had to be his own.

So, they were very proud of the magic tools they made, and because of that, each of them had different manufacturing methods and manufacturing ratios.

As I explained, I began to feel that something was missing.

The number of words of morphine was drastically reduced.

When I turned my head to look at him, he was thinking hard about something with a serious expression on his face.

I burst into laughter at the absurd sight.

“What are you doing, Morphine? Are you dizzy when suddenly difficult content comes out?”

He laughed and made fun of the morphine.

Morphine with such a serious expression was not an easy scene to see.

I had to play it to my heart’s content when I could.

But even when I smiled and talked to her, Morphine’s expression still showed no signs of loosening up.

He seemed to be thinking about it for a long time.

And as if he had made up his mind soon, he suddenly knelt down in front of me.

“Seniors. Please do not worry. I would like to know the manufacturing rate of the senior’s low-grade health potion. I know this is an unreasonable request. But I really need the lower level stamina potion from my senior. Please give me a chance to learn. I beg of you.”

I didn’t understand for a moment.

It was because I heard it from a junior who believed in a request that made no sense in common sense.

‘What is he talking about?’

Crafting magical tools is the pride of an alchemist.

If you turn on the emotion magic, the name of the maker will openly come out.

To that extent, it was proof that the magic tool was a work created by a single alchemist, a hero who handles alchemy.

Even if the basic manufacturing method was disclosed through a patent, it was a kind of unwritten rule that the specific manufacturing method and manufacturing ratio were not asked even between the master and the student.

I saw Morphine’s expression as she was kneeling.

There wasn’t any sign of mischief, as usual.

And when I checked it out, a sudden heat started to run through my head.

He has been sincere ever since.

It was Morphine, who was friendly with each other by exchanging jokes, but this time, he crossed the line properly.
