Black Iron Magician ~ Training Story of the Untalented Disciple ~

I pinch a pinch in the book I was reading and look up at the sky. The sky was stained with orange and it was time to go home. Well, it will be time for Hal to come home. Just in case you didn't notice, I was watching from the outside, but I'm not used to having an apprentice. I feel more worried than I need to.

"Master, I'm back now."

Whoa, what if I make a rumor? Hal has been running waving from the mining site side.

"Thank you, you were about on time. How was your first expedition?

"It was very tight. But it was more fun than that!

Hal gave me a hot valve by gesturing at what happened in the mine trail. Keep the ash cobolt bosses and their components in your hands, it's a waste of energy. But the harvest was twelve. To be honest, Hal's battle was more than I expected. Although I have some difficulty being too honest, I am not lost if I decide to make a quick decision about the situation once. It's the biggest place in the world where the liver is sitting, and it's wrapped around my tongue. I'm going to help you on some occasion, but it's going to end in a whole lot of worries. You, were you really a high school girl until a while ago? And how many times have you done self-scratching in your mind?

... I'll just say this now as a master.

"Hal, you did good. I'm glad I made you my apprentice."

"... eh!? Um, here we go. What's up, Master? Is there anything behind it?

"Why would it..."

You, aren't you the number one upset today, that reaction? What kind of person am I in you?

"Ah, more than that, master. It's the black ore I collected, but, you know, it's just a smaller shard than I thought... I have the amount, okay?

Hal took one shard of ore out of the bag looking sorry and showed it to me. What was in Hal's little hand was even smaller shards than what he was passing on as a sample.

"Hmm? Yeah, if you have the quantity, you don't have a problem with the ore being small."

"So, but it's considerably lighter than the ore you borrowed from your master, isn't it? It's easy to carry around!

"Well, it's because you've grown. Current status, haven't you checked yet?

"To?"

Yeah, I didn't do this. If I level up my skills, I'll see how focused I am on battles. I didn't even realize the soaked mace of the ash cobolt boss hit the ore until the end of the day.

"Hal, don't you dare look at the status. Probably a little more professional."

"Ma, are you serious!? Just a moment!

"I'm not running, so calm down. Oh, can I see that, too?

"Go ahead. If you're a master, you don't have to be sure, you're free to look at it."

Mm, is that right? Then don't hesitate.

"... level, up! Master, your vocational level is up and your skill slots are up!

"Yeah, right. So just calm down, please."

Powered by Hal, he shook his shoulders to his full strength and got a little drunk. But I wonder what the martial arts that should be getting harder are leveling up more than dark magic. Because he was throwing his enemies away with great momentum? As always, growth rates are growing strangely. No, dark magic is crazy enough, too.

"Is that it? But there seems to be something different from what I was hearing...?

Oh, it's sensitive for Hal.

"Well, the sun is going down, shall we go on when we get home? I'm telling you, Hal, I'm going home to help you with dinner, okay? Are you okay?"

"It's okay. Run home lightly. Because that's how much energy I have left!

"I don't think mountain road running is that light... and a good stretch when I get back -"

"Master, I'm leaving you."

He's already running out...

On the way home from the mine trail, I never met a monster, and even became a regular jog. I have finished eating and bathing since I arrived home and now I am in flexible gymnastics with Hal. Don't feel your body fade after doing this for a long time. Hal's guy, he's tearless and soft.... What's that, a stretch? Not yoga?

"Master ~"

"Hmm?"

"Since then, I've checked with my notebook that there's only one skill slot that increases in the level of my profession, right? I had two more."

"Ah, I guess so."

Finish the unfamiliar stretch and sit at the usual table. There was a basket with tea and sweets on the table to see where I had found it from. The kitchen is completely under control, this.

"Remember before, you made a pact with me to have a mentorship?

"I remember. Uncrowned mentor, right? I made a note of it because I thought I'd never forget it."

No. Push up your chest. Humph and good at Hal. But you can check that on the status screen. Ma, I'll tell you this later.

"That's one of my skills. Well, I didn't get to see him. Sometimes if you raise your professional level, you'll be lucky enough to learn these special skills along the way."

"Special skills, is it?

"Some people call it intrinsic skills, gifts from God. Framed apart from skill slots, there is no level and no status involved. I've been getting this for over a decade, and I didn't think I'd get a chance to use it, but life is funny."

When I learned my unique skills, I was already happy. Glad to hear it. Although I was happy, it says that if I often check the contents of my skills, it is a skill to take an apprentice. I was a teenager at the time and I was very confused.

"Is that it? Didn't you have an apprentice before? Well, it's better to stay."

"Hahaha, that's an interesting joke. I'm sorry, but this is my first apprentice, Hal. I'm sorry my master's history is shallow."

"No, my master is a fine master! I guarantee it!

"Oh, wow."

This guy spits poisonous tongues in the face, but he's fine with talking about it. This one embarrasses me.

"That's a little off the record. Two more skill slots at once, the effect of that uncrowned teacher. Disciples with contracts have two more skill slots each time their occupational level rises. Usually one place, two. Pretty good, huh?

"Ooh! Isn't that a great deal for a lot of things!?

"A bargain. Yeah, that's a good deal."

Besides the bargain, it's really quite a counter-offerential effect, isn't it? However, there may be restrictions on the subjects to be disciples. I shortened my probation period and made Hal an apprentice on the run because there were problems such as the subject setting having to be Occupational Level 1. Hal's growth rate is unusual. If I had started my magic training without being an apprentice like that, I probably wouldn't have used this skill.

"Now that the mystery has been successfully solved - let's enjoy the skill meeting time and sprinkle it."
