Thanks to Monaka, I am able to sit on the same chair as everyone else, despite the head teacher’s nastiness.
Finally, the class begins.
“Okay, so today we’ll be making leather cloaks for the leather workers and patches for the seamstresses.”
It depends on the shape of the cloak, but since it doesn’t have sleeves, it’s not difficult to make.
If you want to, you can call it a leather cloak even if you just cut the skin.
In that sense, it is a perfect craft for an introduction to leather craftsmanship.
In this school, everything is survival, but during the class, we are allowed to borrow materials and tools for our craft.
By the way, you don’t get to keep your creations, you have to deliver them to the school.
The teacher continued in a calm tone.
“But today, as a special treat, the students who make good crafts can take their creations home with them.”
Also, you can take home anything you made with the materials you brought in, regardless of how it turned out.”
As for the materials, I had the Flying Dragon Skin, so I thought I could just borrow the tools.
But here I was interrupted again.
“No! You can’t lend out crafting tools to students of the Special Training Class!”, said the vice principal.
Philafy-sensei said, “What? Did we have a rule like that?”
The vice principal completely ignored her words. The vice principal makes a fuss as if he is about to be beheaded.
“But I’m going to lend you the magic iron needle and the magic iron scissors, especially for you, Leopin-kun!
Other than that, you can’t use a single scrap of lint from this classroom!”
“What? You can’t make a craft with just fabric, a needle and scissors!”
Philafy-sensei looked troubled.
Vice principal puts his face close to my ear and whispers softly.
“I’m going to use my magic needle and scissors to shred that thick skin and make it useless. Then I’ll give you another skin as a special treat. It’ll be a special skin, not one that’s so tough, but one that’s as good as the ones they give out to everyone. ……!”
I whispered back.
“So the vice principal knows, right?”
“……? What are you talking about?”
“Ordinary needles or scissors are useless on flying dragon skins. So I was thinking of borrowing some magic tools from Philafy-sensei. But the vice principal tried to give me a magic tool, and I knew that this skin was a ‘flying dragon skin’ …….”
“Kii….. Kieeeeee””
He has another seizure.
Monaka, who is next to me, was startled and joltes back into a shrug.
Vice principal glares at me with his bloodshot eyes and thrusts a magic needle and a pair of scissors at me.
“Then do as you please!”
I was trying to save you from the hallucination of you thinking you have the Flying Dragon’s Skin!”
However, you’re a delinquent student who doubts the goodwill of others!”
Here, I’ll take your needle and scissors. I want you to play by yourself, tinkling, tinkling, tinkling, without thread!”
“Is that so? Then I’ll do that.”
I grin back and took the dull, shiny needle and scissors.
It can penetrate materials that would otherwise be blocked by a normal iron needle.
Can penetrate materials with piercing resistance up to 3 times the quality level.
These scissors can cut through materials that would otherwise be blocked by normal scissors.
Can cut materials that are resistant to slashing up to three times the quality level.
Vice principal raises an eyebrow as I accept the magic tool with a fearless smile.
Perhaps thinking I am bluffing, he quickly laughs it off.
“Mu-ho-ho-ho! It’s no use trying to be tough like that!”
How can you do leatherwork with only a needle and scissors and no thread?”
