Vol 1 Chapter 4

Magic Tool Creation

I once again went to the forest today.

To look for something to hunt.

…Or rather, I’ve been living in the forest for a while now.

h.e.l.lo again, it’s s.h.i.+n, I have turned 8 years old, and I have grown a little more.

After Michel-san’s gruesome training… my overall skills has leveled up. It really did. In any case, it was because of it that I am now able to use physical enhancement magic.

Speaking of the things that have changed in the past three years, my martial arts isn’t the only thing that has improved.

I acquired an additional instructor.

In fact, magic did not only consist of controlling magic power and releasing it, but there’s also a type of magic called “Enchantment,” which is used to inscribe equipment with magic. Later, it was found out that this kind of magic was not grandpa’s forte.

The type of magic each individual is able to use depends on their apt.i.tude… It was better to learn enchantment magic from someone who was good at it. Thus, I was taught enchantment magic by one of grandpa’s frequent visitors who was good at it.

This person was the old lady who wears a pair of gla.s.ses, a black robe and a pointed hat, and emits the aura of a “Witch.”

She has a tall stature, handsome appearance, and has incredibly good sense of style.

I suspect she was quite popular during her younger years.

Her name is “Melinda Bowen.”

I call her grandma Melinda. Whenever I call her Melinda-san, she won’t reply at all. But when I call her grandma Melinda, she has an ecstatic look on her face.

…Maybe she had something going on with grandpa in the past… I don’t want to know about something so scary…

Although Enchantment magic is essential, enchanting itself wasn’t so difficult to do.

First, one must imagine the kind of enchantment one wants to transfer to an item on the tip of their finger or wand. Then, use ‘a certain method’ to release the magic, and apply it on the item.

After the item has been enchanted, the mechanism to activate the enchantment is pretty simple.

It is said that these kinds of enchanted items are very useful to those who are unable to use magic, or even the general public.

However, enchanted items, or rather ‘Magic Tools,’ are not very common, and because they are scarce, they are very expensive. One can boost their status depending on the amount of magic tool one carries.

Although the creation of magic tools itself is inexpensive, the fee for the technology to create one is expensive.

Nevertheless, there’s also a method of transferring ‘phenomenal words written by one’s own understanding.’

However, when one is writing those characters, there’s a limit on the number of characters they can actually write.

A few characters for cheap materials, and a lot of characters for expensive ones.

It can be said that the more characters it has, the more expensive it is.

The characters of this world are alphabets, and multiple combined words have identical meanings.

Since there are multiple words with the same meaning as one word, it wasn’t unusual for the number for characters to not exceed more than a word.

At that time, a thought suddenly came to my mind; what would happen if I were to transcribe in kanji?

If it was possible to transcribe in kanji, then each character would be equivalent to one word, and I could have multiple words with very few characters.

Because of my curiosity, I decided to test it out, and I was able to succeed easily.

However, I was excessively pressed for answers by grandma Melinda…

Thanks to my pa.s.sion for learning magic for the past few years, I also began to like enchantment magic.

…But I still find learning martial arts really tough…

Now, it was time to hunt, and in my hand, I gripped the weapon I made through enchanting.

For long-ranged attacks, I use a “Rifle.”

For close-combat, I use “Vibration Sword.”
