The Kicked Out S-rank Appraiser Creates The Strongest Guild

Aina was walking down the road leading to the workshop (atelier), in defiance of the goal imposed by Loran yesterday and with intent.

(Yesterday I was able to make 5 of the 10 swords C10 by weight of iron 40. It came with endurance (toughness), and today is the day I'm going to make all 10 of my swords C10 weighing 40!

When I go to work at The Spirit's Factory, I realize things are different from usual.

Lorraine and Dylan are carrying loads of baggage onto the carrier into the warehouse.

(Is that... armor?

That was all armor that the exterior was peeling off, partially missing, or useless.

Some thought (obo) that the quality was too poor to be sold and that it was to be disposed of.

"Good morning, Mr. Loran"

"Good morning, just fine. Can you help me carry this?

"What is this? So many. From where?

"I went around the alchemy guilds all over the city and got armor that was no longer needed or malfunctioning."

"How the hell did you do that?

"Explain later. Anyway, we need to bring this in."

"Yes."

Aina helped Loran carry armor that looked heavy.

Take the opposite side with Loran to the warehouse.

"Hmm. Thanks for the help. Thanks."

"This is armor, isn't it? So many, what's wrong?

"I've got a new job in here."

"A new job?

"Oh. Will you get ready in the workshop (atelier) because we're having a meeting?

"This request is light and sturdy armor"

"Light and sturdy armor?

Sitting in front of a conference desk placed at the corner of the workshop, Aina and Roddy looked at each other.

"Isn't that contradictory?

"Yeah, but it's possible. We will. Look at this."

Loran spread out the paper with the diagram and showed it to the two of them.

There were specs written for gear by rank.

[Armor e specs]

Power: 1-20

Endurance: 1-20

Weight: 1-20

[Armor D specs]

Power: 20-40

Endurance: 20-40

Weight: 20-40

[Specs of armor c]

Power: 40-60

Endurance: 40-60

Weight: 40-60

[Armor B Specs]

Power: 60-80

Endurance: 60-80

Weight: 60-80

[Armor A specs]

Power: 80-100

Endurance: 80-100

Weight: 80-100

"That's a standard equipment spec."

Aina said.

"And it is also a limit value corresponding to the weight of iron. For example, in iron weighing 50, power 60 · endurance 60 is the limit. Even if you use" metal molded "A, you can't make armor with a power of 70 and endurance 70"

"The only thing you can do with the skill 'Metal Molding' is draw the power to live in that metal,"

"You can make it with 70 power, 50 endurance, 50 endurance 70 armor."

"You can have 80, 40, 30, 90 armor."

"In short, power and endurance to a total of 120."

"In any case, improving 'metal molding' skills will only widen the range of numerical sorting, at the expense of either power or endurance. But this time, we will break that common sense! This is the equipment we're proposing to Elio."

Loran shows the requirements to both of us.

"This is..."

"Weight 50, Power (Defense) 70, Endurance 70, Shielded armor of?

"Aren't you conflicted? I can't believe it's light but it's both powerful and durable..."

"Oh. It's a contradiction. But Aina, with your unique skills, we can resolve this inconsistency."

"My unique skills?

Aina becomes Kyoton's face.

"Yes, it's your unique skill 'Exterior Enhancement (Coating)'"

[Overview of Exterior Reinforcement (Coating)]

Applying this skill to the target's gear can increase power and endurance.

"I think if we accomplish this request, it will not only simply make Adventurers our customers, but it will also expand our sales channels. It's a quest that couldn't even be covered by" Dragon Fire ". There must be other adventurers with the same problems. You can also take customers away from" Dragon Fire ". So I want you two to take charge of this quest. Molding and durable reinforcement (coating) in the aina. Make Design Lodi."

Aina and Roddy looked at each other.

"If we do this quest, it will lead to both of us improving our skills and broadening our range of jobs. If the project is on track, it will also lead to salary increases. No matter, I don't impose penalties or anything because I failed. Also, all you have to do is try something new. What do you say? Will you do it?

"I'll do it if it leads to better skills."

Aina said.

"I'll do it if it leads to a raise, too."

Roddy said.

"Okay. That's settled. Let's get this over with."

Loran puts the exterior stripped armor on the table and gives Aina a bottle with a cane and liquid.

"What's this?

Supporting magic wand and paint.

"Supportive magic?

"Yes, Your Unique Skill 'Exterior Enhancement (Coating)' Belongs to Supported Magic Skills"

Loran tested Aina's skills to revisit her unique skill description.

[Detailed description of exterior reinforcement (coating)]

Supportive magic effects can be granted semi-permanently by applying supportive magic to the ink.

The inked equipment reflects the effect of assistive magic.

"Have you ever used supportive magic?

"No way. I've only been trained in alchemy. I can't believe the magic..."

"I guess..."

[Aina's Skills]

"Attack Grant": E E

"Defense Grant": E E

"Jung-min Grant": E E

"Phantom Magic": E E

"Crustal Magic": E E

(E-class is the limit for all of the supporting magic. If so……)

"If so, there must probably be the essence of this skill in the way you paint"

"How to paint......?

"Oh, ink color, pattern, thickness? Details are unknown, but should be related to some painting technique. It's your role to find that law."

Loran takes out the blue paint and brush.

"In the meantime, let's start with a blue paint reminiscent of 'Defense Grant'. Apply this, then try supporting magic."

"Okay."

Aina paints her armor and then starts casting supportive magic spells with a wand on one hand in a supportive magic guide book.

(I wonder what. Even though it's something to start with. It's like I've known this for a long time. I feel that way)

The feeling of being sucked blood into the flat hand holding Aina's wand ran.

And his warmth, which came out of Aina's body, poured into the tip of the staff, and came running.

(Grunts. The wand is hot. So much so that it seems to burn. This is the feeling of using magic)

The tip of the wand glows and bursts into armor.

"Eh."

Aina accidentally let go of her wand.

The wand makes a noise and falls to the floor.

The magical light disappears after blinking for a little while.

"Aina, are you okay?

Roddy rushes under Aina.

"... it's okay. Just a little surprised."

Aina's palm doesn't have a single burn on it.

"What more armor than that?

The three glance at the armor again.

The armor was resting on the spot unchanged from earlier.

"... nothing will happen"

Roddy said.

"No, it's a success."

Suddenly, the paint wrapped around the armor swells, bubbling and countless bubbles.

"Become...!

Eventually, the blue paint stopped in tears like styrofoam torn by a bump or cotton sticking out of the doll.

Aina glared at the armor.

(This is... my unique skill)

"Mm-hmm. That never seemed like an off-target way."

[Status of armor e]

Power: 10

Endurance: 11 ( 1)

Weight: 10

"At least the endurance is up"

"Mr. Loran, is this really enduring?

Tumble through the blue bumps that made Roddy look completely different from the paint.

"Yeah, it does raise the value of endurance by a point,"

"But don't you think this is too shapely? I can take it right away."

When Aina picks a bump and pulls it, she cuts a thousand pieces.

"Oh, we're still developing, no matter what. We need to improve our skills now."

Loran retreats the modified armor and puts the new armor on the platform again.

"Eina, you're going to have to try the paint and the magic hanging depending on the allowance. There should be a way to anchor 'exterior reinforcement (coating)' in a more optimal form"

"Yes."

"Okay. Next up, Roddy. Your turn."

"The dimensions are already mine."

Loran gives Roddy a piece of paper describing the size of Elio's body as measured by himself.

"I design armor to fit this size, but the problem is the exterior"

Loran said, pointing to the drawing.

"Because the exterior is expected to swell by Eina's coating, we must also calculate and design that portion"

"Hmm. You don't like design, do you?"

(... I guess)

[Roddy's Skills]

Design: D A

(Class D at least not yet. But he's a top designer in the future)

"I wonder if I can."

"It's okay. 'Cause I'll support you."

"Well, you have to. Aina's trying."

When the two of them turned to Aina, she was just putting on a supportive magic spell.

The armor Aina 'exterior reinforced (coated)' was already about to reach its fifth.

Four failures are rolling on the floor, but the blue expansion is slowly subsiding and becoming a lot flatter.

(I'm beginning to understand. This isn't about the way you paint it)

Aina casts supportive magic with her wand pointed at her armor.

(The paint is moving with magic)

Eina did magic with the image of compressing the paint.

The paint swells bumpy and tries to let the energy escape on the outside, but Eina manages to contain it.

Then the paint did not become bumpy and the ups and downs were suppressed to the extent that it could barely be regarded as armoured, although the surface was still razor sharp and a number of bumps were like hills.

(All right. That's a lot better.)

"Mr. Loran. This is what happened to me for now, what do you think?

Loran identified Aina's coated armor as an item.

[Status of armor e]

Power: 10

Endurance: 15 ( 5)

Weight: 10

"Yeah. It's enduring."

"Yay!

[Aina's Unique Skills]

"Exterior Reinforcement (Coating)": D ( 1 rank)

(Again, the skills you haven't got are growing fast. I've already improved my rank)

"Aina. You keep improving your skills at this rate."

"Yes!"

As Loran was working on the drawings with Roddy, the sound of the wand falling to the floor sounded.

Seeing, Aina is nodding on the floor with her hands shaking.

"Aina!?

"Are you all right?

Loran and Roddy rush over.

"Yes, I'm just a little dazzled"

[Aina's Status]

Magic: 1 ( 9) -10

"You're out of magic."

Loran stands up completely.

"Eina. That's it for today's 'Exterior Enhancement (Coating)'. Rest. Come on."

"Yes."

(Damn. I almost could grab something)

Aina looks at the armor as she looks remorseful.

"It's okay. We still have three days to deliver."

"But I could have grabbed something in a little while..."

"I'm fine. I'm definitely improving my skills"

"Yes."

"I can't practice Exterior Reinforcement (Coating) anymore today, but I'll have my armor molded this afternoon based on the blueprints Roddy wrote. Get some rest and get ready for the afternoon."

"... ok"

Aina blushed her cheeks a little.

(Mr. Loran, that's sweet. Always call me when this one seems frustrated)

Aina stared across the workshop (atelier) toward the break room, staring at Loran's side with admiration that had begun to faintly arise.
