Tenkomori: The Homecoming Club Conquers Another World

Chapter 100.4 - The Second Year at the Academy - [Create Magical Tool] (4)

[Magical Tool Modification] was a skill that could change the effects bestowed upon magical tools.

Weakening, altering properties, vanishing, stabilizing, and more were possible. To provide specific examples, [Fire Resistance 4] could be changed to [Fire Resistance 3], [Lightening] could become [Weightening], and the effect itself could even get nullified.

These alterations occurred when the effects were damaged, and [Magical Tool Modification] could repair and stabilize them. However, unintended effects might occur during the process.

On the other hand, [Magical Tool Sublimation] was a mainstream skill.

It liberated magic stones and magical tools, enhancing existing magical tools. For instance, by using [Fire Resistance 3] as a catalyst, it was possible to sublimate another [Fire Resistance 3] magical tool into [Fire Resistance 4].

In a way, it was a synthesis system.

“Just, both are difficult to master. Those with the aptitude are extremely rare.”

“Is there no one like that in Selen?”

“There used to be, not too long ago. Altaire-kun should know, right?”

“Esald Saigito, right?”

Rackendale nodded silently.

When he heard the explanation of [Magical Tool Sublimation], he immediately thought of him.

The man who killed Elfimia’s grandmother, Celteles, to revive his wife. All for the sake of using Celteles’ magical tools as a catalyst.

Regardless of the morality of his actions, achieving such results was a testament to his talent.

“Esald seemed quite exceptional. If he had lived longer, he would have undoubtedly become a council member, don’t you think?”

Rackendale glanced sideways and added, “With his wife, of course.”

Without noticing the pause in the conversation, Cody was genuinely impressed.

In reality, Esald died earlier than Riselia. She turned to ashes about a year ago. If Esald had been alive, he probably wouldn’t have silently let Riselia disappear. Yarls Alaster was also there, and Selen’s damage would have been extraordinary.

“There’s not much information about Esald, so it’s just a rumor. But even now, there are said to be hidden practitioners in the Coegis Union, and if you go back in history, there are quite a few. But if we talk about someone exceptional, it has to be the genius Terpas Telper.”

“The creator of Telper’s Bag, right? Another prominent figure.”

Terpas, alongside hero Rapnus, was called a sage and considered one of Alphas’ closest allies. Many gathered under Alphas, but only a few were treated as equals.

Terpas, one of them, was a genius in crafting magical tools, sending many into the world, including the magical bag Telper’s Bag. He played a significant role in the creation of the unseen mansion. The key was magical tools, and even for Alphas, stabilizing such magic for an extended period was challenging.

“Terpas probably mastered sublimation and modification as well.”

“Yeah, he was said to have mastered them perfectly. So, let’s defeat Terpas! Let’s create a bunch!”

“Let’s put defeating aside for now and try liberation next.”

After that, I continued to create magical tools.

Removing stones, and processing materials with Rackendale’s permission if needed.

When I tried liberating magical stones for the first time, my slightly blurry vision became clearer, and my choices were more visible than before. However, depending on the nature of the foundation and compatibility with magical stones, avoiding decline was still challenging.

Before I knew it, a variety of accessories, daggers, wands, and more were neatly arranged on the table.

“It’s closing time.”

Suddenly, a woman’s voice was heard.

Surprised, I turned around, and there was the trauma-inducing machine, Loretta, peeping into the room.

“Oh, is it that time already? It was a good place…”

Rackendale responded disappointingly.

When did the bell ring? I was too focused and didn’t notice at all.

However, it was rare for Loretta to be in such a strange place. Maybe she’s doing rounds in the academy.

As I was greeting, Rackendale interrupted and showed Loretta the accessories.

“Look at this instead! They’re all magical tools!”

“Well, all of them. The 3rd-year students this year are excellent.”

Loretta responded calmly, and I stopped moving.

Third-year students?

No way, these materials, and magical stones—.

If I strained my eyes, Rackendale and Cody were pale.

“I really don’t want to know, but are these materials…?”

“W-What do we do, Cody!”

“Even if you ask me!”

No, you were the one who brought it up. And I used them extensively.

Why didn’t I notice…?

This many magical stones, supposedly prepared just for me—Rackendale might be capable of that.

Later, in a rush, I threw spare magical stones and materials into the alchemical solution, but it didn’t even fill half the initial amount.

There were failed magical tools, so the materials would somehow work out, but magical stones were overwhelmingly insufficient.

Rackendale took responsibility and bought magical stones out of his pocket. I spent several days running around gathering magical stones.

By the time everything settled down, [Create Magical Tool] had reached rank 2.

It could be considered a good result in the end, or maybe not.
