Chapter 58

The next day at 9:00 p.m.

After completing my schedule, I arrived at the Blue Magic Tower in time.

As soon as I arrived, I immediately moved to the laboratory and conducted a complete checkup for the unique mana imprint.

The checkup took about an hour.

“That was the last checkup. Now all you have to do is wait for the results to come out.”

Kim Kangin came up to me and informed me that all the checkups were over.

“You’ve never had a mana test like this, have you? How was it?”

“The test itself was fine. But, since the checkup time is getting longer, I feel a bit tired.

In a good way, it was a complete checkup, but it was actually no different from manual labor.

It was a simple test to get inside the inspection device and move the mana as instructed. It was not easy to repeat this for three hours.

I said I felt a bit tired, but honestly, it was very annoying and boring.

“You finished it quickly. Normally, there is an error in moving the mana, so it usually takes eight hours to do it again and again.”

“......Eight hours?”

The mana complete checkup machine, owned by the Blue Magic Tower, is the latest inspection device that is still few in the world.

I also heard information about this device for the first time.

“It may take more than 14 hours for a person who has poor control of mana.”

“......14 hours to do this manual labor?”

That’s terrible.

Isn’t it torture?

“It’s great to describe this work as manual labor. It’s a repetition of the action that moves the mana, but it’s never an easy task.”

“......Is that so?”

It is a comfortable task that I just have to move mana as instructed.

Is there anything difficult?

“Because you have to move mana precisely. The error rate should be less than 0.3%. It is not easy at all.”

“.......”

I almost snorted for a second.

Is it not as easy as moving mana precisely?

That’s nothing compared to the second page’s test.

“You look like you don’t understand.”

Kim Kangin grinned and said.

It seems that my inner thoughts were revealed on my face.

I quickly cleared my face.

Kim Kangin’s smile deepened.

“Anyway, I think the test results will be perfect. Of course, it will improve the completeness of the artifact.”

Unique mana imprint, a step to adjust the artifact exclusively to the user.

This final completeness of the artifact is divided according to the completeness of this step.

As it is a high-rank artifact that is organically connected like a cogwheel, an error of 1% often results in a performance down of 10%.

In order to prevent this performance down, the craftsman’s skills are required but first, a complete checkup must be perfect.

“This may be the masterpiece in the history of the Blue Magic Tower.”

“But, wouldn’t the masterpiece be difficult? Among the order-made artifacts of the Blue Magic Tower is the ‘Imperial Ring.......’”

The artifact that was called the masterpiece since the establishment of the Blue Magic Tower.

Imperial Ring.

It seems impossible to exceed the ring.

“Your artifact will be at that level.”

“......Really?”

Kim Kangin laughed in a good mood as if he liked my surprised face.

“Of course, one cannot exceed this Imperial Ring with a single attribute reinforcement. But, Your artifact is not a single attribute reinforcement artifact, but a four attribute complex reinforcement artifact. Considering its versatility, it is comparable to the Imperial Ring.”

“That means.......are you saying that my artifact’s expected rank is at least S rank 4 tier?”

Kim Kangin laughed silently.

It was a smile that meant strong positivity.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

“Oh my.......”

S rank 4 tier artifact.

An artifact that is comparable to the Imperial Ring.

I can’t wait for it to be complete.

How can I wait 3 weeks?

“Haha! I have never seen your eyes shine so brightly.”

“How can I be calm when I heard that it is comparable to the Imperial Ring?”

How will it appear in front of me?

I am already excited.

“Well, have you decided on the name of the artifact.......?”

It was when I was so excited that I was going to ask more about the artifact.

Buzz—!

The phone in my pocket vibrated.

“Excuse me.......”

[Sender: Father]

I got a text message from my father.

It was great timing.

“I’m sorry. It’s an important text, can you excuse me for a moment?”

“Yes, take your time. There’s a lot of time until the test results come out.”

I immediately opened the text.

If my prediction is correct, this will be a text that will contain the news I have been waiting for.

[The ship is scheduled to arrive at the port at 2:30 a.m. today.]

[Expected delivery time is 6:30 p.m. tomorrow.]

[I will send the ingredients through Seokhyun when you finish training.]

Finally, the long-awaited ingredients for the potion have arrived.

The next day at 8:00 p.m.

Finally, all the ingredients for making the potion have been gathered.

“Yes, they are in good condition. The quality is good. The size is good, too.”

The horn of the Octagonal tree.

The heart of a Catastrophe.

The eyes of a Leviathan.

Mimir, who confirmed all three ingredients, raised her thumb.

It meant passing.

“At this rate, we can start making the potion right away.”

Mimir pointed to the prep tools lying on the edge.

“First, prepare the ingredients. Let’s get a sense while preparing the extra ingredients in case we make a mistake.”

“Okay.”

I started to prepare the ingredients right away.

Using the prep tool suitable for each ingredient, I carefully prepared the ingredients by infusing my mana to the fullest.

Although the method of preparing was slightly different for each ingredient, the overall framework was somewhat consistent.

“......Oh, I made a mistake.”

“It’s all right. That much is still recoverable. Just take that part off and try again.”

“Okay, I will try.”

Under Mimir’s exact instructions, I did my best to prepare the ingredients.

How long had it been?

My body was covered with sweat before I knew it.

“Augh. It is not easy.”

“If you are too tired, take a break. If you overdo it and the quality of your mana changes for no reason, it will be annoying when you mix the ingredients later.”

The Blessing of mana is a very sensitive potion. A very small mistake is unacceptable.

Thanks to that, my tension is always at max. So how can I not be tired?

“This one was a bit close. Be careful when finishing.”

“I will take care of it.”

After receiving Mimir’s instructions, I prepared the ingredients, took a break, and then prepared them again.

“Now, only the three most important ingredients remain. Before that, let’s take a break.”

What is left is the most expensive set of 3 ingredients.

The horn of the Octagonal tree.

The heart of a Catastrophe.

The eyes of a Leviathan.

Ultra high priced rare ingredients that have no way to turn back if I make a mistake.

I took a break before preparing these ingredients.

“Did you recover?”

“Yes.”

After about 20 minutes of rest, the somewhat distracted mind immediately calmed down.

“All right. Let’s start with the horn of Octagonal tree. Pour mana into the prep knife as much as possible and cut the surface first.”

Three hours.

“Slowly, very slowly. Like cutting the surface of a mechanical pencil lead. When it’s over, the next step is the imprint.”

Six hours.

“More softly. Like coating each cell with mana. Okay, that’s it.”

10 hours.

I was immersed in preparing the ingredients until dawn and the sun rose in the morning.

“Now put it slowly in the bottle you brought. Don’t make a measurement mistake and put 87.34ml in exactly.”

“......It’s done.”

“Great job.”

A total of five bottles.

As I looked at the five bottles of the blessing of mana showing off their brilliant light, I laughed without realizing it.

This is all set.

The next day at 10:30 a.m.

I was looking at the sea from the speedboat heading to Baengnyeong Island.

The weather is good, the scenery is good, and the wind is fresh, so I feel good.

‘I hope it arrives soon.’

I touched the Blessings of mana that I put in my side bag.

A total of five bottles of the blessing of mana.

I want to drink these.

I want to drink these quickly and weave the Circle of Expansion.

My head was full of such thoughts.

“Hey, someone might think the model is posing.”

Soonchan jumped out of the back, put his arms around my shoulders and giggled.

His energy is higher than usual.

It seems to be intoxicated by the excitement of the trip.

“Are you hitting on me? Do you want me to take your picture? Do you want me to make your photo book?”

“It’s okay.”

I smiled and turned to the cabin.

“Uh-huh. Don’t you know that the only things left on the trip are food and pictures, do you?”

Soonchan naturally loosened his arms and turned in the same direction as me.

“The background is nice, too. Come here. Take a picture with me.”

Soonchan pushed his face toward me and moved his phone around.

I moderately moved my eyes along the camera lens.

“If you are going to take a picture, take it quickly.”

I hope it ends soon.

“Well, aren’t you impatient? Hold on a second.”

What the hell doesn’t he like, he keeps changing the angle of the camera.

“Ah, I don’t like it.......”

“What? Your face?”

“You punk.......”

Soonchan laughed.

“I’m kidding. What don’t you like?”

“The mood.”

“The mood?”

What’s wrong with the mood?

“Uh. Ah. It’s not like this.......”

Soonchan put down his phone and fell into contemplation.

“Oh, this is it.”

Then, with a face of realization, he let out a small exclamation.

He shouted at Adella, who was standing in the distance.

“Adella! Let’s take a picture!”

Adella came up with her head tilted.

“Picture?”

“Yeah, the background is amazing. It is a sin not to take a picture in front of such a great photo zone. Come on, come on in!”

“Oh, what? Uh....”

Soonchan pulled Adella and placed her next to me.

Adella came straight into the camera angle.

With me at the center, the composition of Adella on the left and Soonchan on the right was made.

“Yes! This is it. With Adella, the picture becomes bright right away. As expected, taking selfies with guys is not good.”

Soonchan laughed as if he liked the picture now.

“Here we go. Cheese!”

“Ch-cheese........”

Adella made a V with her finger with an awkward smile.

“.......”

I just looked at the lens with the same face as usual.

“Done.”

Soonchan smiled after taking a picture.

“Wow, this is awesome. This is it. This is the true fun of traveling. Haha!”

Soonchan repeatedly exclaimed, looking at the picture taken by him.

“It’s a picture. I can use it as a pictorial if I edit it a little bit.”

His energy has gone up a lot.

People would think of him as a bouncy seasonal mackerel.

I smiled at Soonchan.

“I will organize all the pictures I took and post them on the group chat later.”

“Okay.”

“I will take a picture with the juniors. See you later.”

Soonchan put his phone in his pocket and moved away from us.

The steps going away are very lively.

“He has always been energetic, but he is even more today.”

“He is just excited about the long trip.”

“It is not a trip, it is a training. Is it okay to leave him so excited?”

“Leave him. If he starts training properly, he will be back to his usual energy soon.”

If I let him go around Baengnyeong Island, he will return to his original state.

“......That’s unexpected.”

“For what?”

“If it was usual, you would have scolded him, saying ‘How are you excited like that even if it is a training!’”

“......That’s true, however, did you imitate me?”

“Yes, wasn’t it the same?”

“.......”

It was not the same at all.

It was just Adella who was a little hyper.

“......It was the same.”

“Right? The point is the slightly raised ends of the eyes.”

Looking at those glittering eyes, it was hard to say that it wasn’t the same at all.

Let’s just leave it the same.

“Anyway, as you said, I think I would have scolded Soonchan a lot if it was usual.”

“Right?”

Usually, I would have intentionally lowered his energy by mentioning hellish training.

“Hmm. Is it because I’m in a good mood today? I don’t think I’m going to scold Soonchan.”

“Are you in a good mood?”

“Yeah. I’m a little excited to think about training in the high mana concentration of Baengnyeong Island.”

To be exact, the thought of taking a potion and weaving the Circle of Expansion makes me really excited.

“Oh! I know that feeling. I’ve only been here once five years ago. It was really good then. So I’m really excited.”

After seeing her saying cheese awkwardly earlier, I thought Adella was more excited than usual today.

She was more excited than expected.

I think she was more excited than Soonchan.

“I heard that the concentration of mana has become higher recently. How much would it be? I’m looking forward to it.”

Adella stared at Baengnyeong Island in the distance with a fluttering face.

The long blond hair flying in the sea breeze was like a painting.

“Me too.”

I smiled brightly as I enjoyed the concentration of mana, which is getting higher as the distance from Baengnyeong Island gets closer.

“I’m also looking forward to it.”

It will be a full five nights and six days in many ways.
