The Kicked Out S-rank Appraiser Creates The Strongest Guild

Episode 85: Just the Right Competitor

Eina and Wayne were still competing today in The Spirit's Factory.

Making ten swords that day was the norm.

Wayne and Aina were working on their fifth sword.

(Okay. I'm keeping up with Eina's speed today. We can keep this up.)

Wayne adds the last dozen to complete the sword.

However, the performance was slightly subtle as a sword C.

(Is that a little subtle? Endurance, is that enough? That's enough, right? All right, on the next sword......)

"Wayne!"

Called on by Loran, Wayne freaked out.

"Hey, what's up?"

"The sword is Class D. Not durable enough."

"Yes, that's not supposed to happen. It must be a mistake."

"There's nothing wrong with that. You can't market a sword of such quality as a guild leader. Let's start over."

"Knock..."

Wayne has no choice but to prepare new iron.

Damn, Lorraine's taking the time.

Wayne manages to catch up with Aina, speeding up the hammer.

But the sooner we made the leap and tried to keep up with Aina's speed, the less accurate the swing was.

"Wayne, it's getting cluttered. Be more slow and polite."

"No, I'm being proper and polite. It's okay, because this will meet the requirements properly."

But Wayne won't be able to grasp the hammer satisfactorily this time.

(What? Power at your fingertips…)

Wayne can't shake the hammer down to the punch point and scrapes the iron mischievously.

"Knock."

[Wayne Melza's Status]

Arm Power: 20 (20) - 70

Endurance (Toughness): 40-70

(Arm strength (power) is falling. Is the status still unstable)

Wayne's molding iron gets more and more miserable.

Loran, who I saw, decided to speak up.

"Wayne, you're losing your arm. The durability (toughness) is unstable, making it easier to lose stats and unstable performance. Get Roddy to help you work until your endurance stabilizes."

"That's okay, I got this. I'd better do it alone..., this one's doing better."

(I figured. You're the kind of guy who honestly listens to advice)

Roddy looks at Wayne like a white eye.

(Oh, because of Loran's advice, I stuck it. I'm losing track of it. What are you going to do? If you don't have enough speed and quality, you're just going to make yourself worse at last. You know what I mean?

Wayne couldn't keep it up and kept making it on his own, but in the end, all he could do was E-class swords.

While doing so, Eina finishes making 10 swords C.

"Yes, over. Roddy, clean this up."

"Oh, yeah."

I'm going to the break room.

Eina leaves the hammer with Roddy to leave the workplace behind.

"Damn."

Wayne slammed his E-class sword on the workbench.

The sword is broken and shattered unbroken on the workbench.

Roddy glanced at her.

(This guy has a bad attitude. He said he could be the one to support him.)

"What are you doing, Wayne? It's dangerous."

Even though Lorraine says so, Wayne doesn't answer that, he just goes off the spot with a re-division.

"Wait."

Loran grabs Wayne's shoulder and pushes it away.

"What the fuck?"

Wayne stares at Loran with a face that is still going to bite.

"Why are you in such a hurry?

……

"What does that have to do with your retirement from" Dragon Fire "after a while?

"Huh. I'm not in a hurry. Get off me!"

Wayne shook Loran's hand off.

"Hey, where are you going"

"Don't follow me."

Wayne eats his teeth out of the workplace.

(Why? Why can't I beat that woman? You're saying I'm inferior to him in skills and status? No, that can't be right. I'm just not feeling well today. Tomorrow is always............)

Loran cleaned up on the messy workbench with Roddy.

(Wayne's guy, you're totally empty. As it is, it will have a negative effect on the entire workshop (atelier). I need to hit something)

"Loran. You got a minute?

Loran turned to the voice calling himself.

When I see it, Dylan stands at the entrance to the workplace.

The expression was not very fragrant.

"Can't the store buy me some gear? How the hell..."

"Hi. They seem to care about maintenance."

"maintenance?"

"Arms stores on this island are not only doing this by paying for equipment, but also for maintenance. Most weapons stores also hold alchemists as employees, and they also undertake the maintenance of worn out weapons. But this' exterior reinforced (coated) 'blue armor..."

"Can only be serviced by Eina..."

"That's the thing. It is not a unique skill to distribute the equipment in retail, but must be something that even alchemists with only ordinary skills can develop"

"I see."

(I thought it would be easy to sell as long as the product was differentiated, but it was a revenge that I made the product with my unique skills)

"Okay. I'll see what I can do about that. Let's refrain from expanding our sales channels to retail. Dylan, you need to start selling to the Adventurer Alliance again."

"Okay."

"Aina, Roddy. Do you have a minute?

Loran spoke to the two of them trying to get to work this afternoon.

"Yes. What is it?

"We had a bit of a problem with expanding our sales channels to retail. According to Dylan..."

Loran told me exactly what he heard from Dylan.

"I see. Is it a maintenance fee"

"That was a blind spot."

"As it stands, expanding sales channels to retail will be a setback. So I'm going to develop new equipment." Exterior Reinforcement (Coating) "is applied, and even ordinary alchemists can maintain such equipment. So Aina, Roddy. I want you to stay away from your normal business and focus on developing this new equipment."

"Away from normal business...... But then what do you do with your normal business?

"Leave it to Wayne"

"... are you okay? Leave it to him."

Eina openly seeps distrust.

"I know Wayne has a problem. I'll do something about you. [M] Anyway, I want you guys to focus on developing new equipment."

"Okay."

Aina gets to work on developing new equipment quickly.

I first decided to apply 'exterior reinforcement (coating)' to paints of various colors.

(When it comes to developing new equipment, it won't work with the previous blue 'exterior reinforcement (coating)'. I need to look for new special effects other than 'Reflection')

Eina took out the second-hand armor she kept in the warehouse, applied colorful colors and applied the granting magic to each and every one.

Some were only equipped with grant magic without any particular reaction, but some were hardened or jellied.

(Okay. I reacted a few times. There must have been some special effects. Let's turn to Roddy (Design) after having Loran appraise him)

Roddy was writing blueprints.

(Equipment that can even be serviced by a regular alchemist… can't put 'exterior reinforcement (coating)' on the outside. Because if the exterior is shredded in battle, it can only be fixed with Eina's "Exterior Enhancement (Coating)". But Exterior Reinforcement (Coating) protects the exterior, as its name suggests. Do not put the paint out on the outside and protect the exterior. Hmm. That's inconsistent)

Loran and Aina came in as Roddy scratched his head in front of the paper and pencil.

"How's it going, Roddy?

"Ah, Mr. Loran. No, it's hard to navigate."

"Hmm. Which one? Is this design… should we put 'exterior reinforcement (coating)' inside?"

Roddy's blueprint depicted Aina's 'exterior reinforcement (coating)' sandwiched between the iron exterior and the interior.

"Yeah. If I can't repair the 'exterior reinforcement (coating)' peeling off, I thought I'd put it inside. But you can't. We can't protect the exterior and we're down."

"No, it's not a bad idea. Look at this."

Loran shows Roddy a used armor with a green membrane around it.

Roddy touched the green membrane.

"Is this feeling... rubber?

"Eina's new discovery of the special effect of" Exterior Enhancement (Coating) "," Elasticity "

[Status of used armor]

Power: 10

Durability: 30 (by "Exterior Reinforcement (Coating)" 20)

Special Effect: Elasticity (Flexibility)

"'Elasticity' would mean flexibility. With this special effect, even if you pinch the paint inside the armor, you may be able to pull out the protective features of" Exterior Reinforcement (Coating) "

"I see. Quick, I'll give it a try"

"Let's meet."

Eina and Roddy started fighting this opinion based on blueprints and new special effects.

(Both Eina and Roddy have gained a better understanding of their skills. It's a good trend. It has not only increased its manufacturing power, but also its development speed. Okay, this one's got eyes on it for now, and is Wayne next?)

Loran recruited again to find Wayne's partner.

(Wayne is out of tune because he's conscious of Eina's agility and is trying to force her to work faster. Too competitive. We need just the same level of competition to make his sense of competition work in the right direction)

A good person immediately appeared.

The young man wrapped a floating atmosphere around the stiff look of his dark hair cut short, his body, though slightly small and lean, was never weak, but had a tight muscle with springs, which seemed agile to see.

[Eyes Garner Skills and Stats]

· Skills

"Metal moulding": C B

-State

Arm Power (Power): 40-60

Endurance (Toughness): 40-60

(Found it. An alchemist with as much arm strength (power) and endurance (toughness) as Wayne did when he broke down. Besides......)

[Eyes Garner status]

Jun Min (Agility): 70-90

(Jun Min (Agility) is very high. This will crush you as a support staff even if you don't have unique skills)

"My name is Eyes Garner. The recent landslide noise of the giant Fire Dragon (Grand Fafnir) devastated the Alliance's workshop (Atelier), to which it belonged, and lost its job. Jun Min (Agility) is high, so I am confident in the speed of my hands and feet. In the workshop (atelier) where I used to belong, I was bought there to serve as a support staff."

"I see. Okay. Now let's get you to work as a support staff at our place as well. However, if you don't mind, could you just be the main staff at the beginning?

"You got the main staff?

"Yes, we are currently temporarily understaffed with 'metal moulding'. I intend to replenish the personnel sooner or later, but I would like you to be in charge of 'metal molding' only at the beginning. Whatever it is, I'm willing to pay for it."

"Fine. I'm not that high on my arm, am I? I don't know what 'metal molding' can do."

"It's okay. Because I will support you well even in our company. I won't let you be impotent."

"Okay. Fine."

Thus, from the next day, Eyes was to enter the 'Spirit's Factory'.

When Wayne opened the door and entered the workshop, he noticed that things were a little different from yesterday's.

(Am I? What? One more workbench. Besides, right next to my workbench...)

"Morning, Wayne."

"Lorraine, there are more workbenches."

"Oh, it's a work bench for newcomers"

"Newbie...?

"Yes, because we're going to have Eina work on developing new equipment. I hired someone to replace me."

"Hmm."

(CHUCKLES) Even though Aina's guy is working on a new gear, I'm the same class C gear. Chickshaw. Come on.)

"It should be time for him to come too..., whoa, looks like he's here. I'll introduce you. He's Eyes."

"Everyone. My name is Eyes Garner."

"Ooh."

"Eyes. This is your workbench."

Loran showed the workbench right next to Wayne.

"It's armor c that makes it. This is the blueprint."

"Class C? Then, well, I guess I can make it somehow."

Wayne looks at Eyes in surprise.

(What. This guy. Are you okay?

"Eyes has never been in charge of moulding in support staff before."

Looking at Wayne's expression, Loran added.

"Oh, yeah?

"Well, let's just get started."

Loran sets up a partition between Wayne and Aina so that they are not aware of each other.

It thus allowed Wayne to begin work after being able to focus on competing with Eyes.

As soon as the work began, Eyes began to pound iron with tremendous speed.

(Been fast? That's also better than Eina...... Yabeye. But even though he's beating Aina's. You can't even beat him......)

But Eyes' molded armor soon began to collapse.

In the end, the armor produced by Eyes was E-Class.

"Is that it? Why not? It's not working."

Wayne weakens.

(That's right, Koz. It's just fast and it doesn't come with quality at all! Threaten me)

"Damn. I haven't. This is what metal molding does."

Wayne wields a hammer and strikes firmly at the ore.

The ore changes shape and solidifies firmly.

"Uh, I see. That's how much we have to do."

"You just move your hands fast, and every dozen punches are neglected. Do it slower and more politely."

"Ugh."

Wayne and Eyes slowed the pace and started striking iron politely.

Iron shapes armor without collapsing.

Loran watched the situation carefully.

(Success for now, I guess)

Saki brings me tea if I do.

"annoying"

"Saki. Thanks"

"Also, you got a new one in there,"

"Yeah."

"It looks like the business is on track. Above all. Mr. Wayne's got strength today, too, and he looks in good shape. Until yesterday, it was so empty."

"Yeah, until yesterday, I couldn't help but stick with Aina with Jung-min (agility) and she was out of shape, but it looks like her competitor got herself back into Eyes"

"You went out of your way to get a new one for that?

"Wayne hates advice from others because he's a loser. I just have to change the environment so I can get back on track myself, more than I can advise."

"I see. The boulder is Mr. Loran. You're good at using people."

"Not so much. Besides, I'm not done for today."

[Wayne Melza's Status]

Arm Strength (Power): 30 (10) - 70

Endurance (Toughness): 30 (10) - 70

[Eyes Garner status]

Arm Strength (Power): 30 (10) − 60

Endurance (toughness): 30 (10) − 60

(Both of them are starting to lose arm strength (power) and endurance (toughness). afternoon would be a real battle)

"Saki."

"Yes."

"Tell Roddy to come over this afternoon."

It was the afternoon.

Wayne and Eyes take a good potion with lunch to regain strength (stamina) and get back to work.

"I've recovered my health, and today is the day to end Norma."

Wayne regains his temper and resumes making armor C.

(I made four armor c's in the morning. Today is the day I'll make sure to do ten of the norms)

Wayne looks at the neighbor's eyes chilly.

Eyes has only made three armor c's yet.

(All right. You can beat this guy.)

Wayne regains room in his mind and concentrates on nature and production.

"Eh."

Eyes flashed his face.

"Hmm? What's up?

"No, there's something wrong with my arm."

"What? It's sloppy, man. Norma can accomplish that......"

When Wayne waved the hammer down, he noticed that the recoil coming back to his arm was greater than earlier.

(Nasty. I'm losing my arm strength too. Damn. I thought we could achieve the norm today. As long as the status is adequate......)

"Eyes. Do you have a minute?

Loran interrupted.

"Oh, yes."

Eyes honestly stop hands.

"The iron doesn't seem to mold well from earlier. Aren't you losing your arm?

"Yes, I will. Something only works once every other time."

"Again? Then you'll have Roddy's support in the afternoon."

"Support?"

"Oh, Roddy, help him. You do all the hard work but mold the eyes."

"Yes, I'll take care of it"

"Heh, these are ants here, too. That sounds amazing. With full support."

Quickly, Roddy turned to Eyes support.

Do everything but carry the ore, carry the product, clean the workbench, and hammer iron.

"Okay, I'll flip the armor. This is where you're gonna hit next, right?

Thanks to Roddy moving his armor, Eyes can concentrate on molding work.

"That sounds amazing. I can't believe I know exactly where I want to slap this one. Mr. Roddy, could it be a high-ranking 'metal molding'?

"No way. I'm just used to supporting you."

"No, it helps. My arm got tired earlier and I couldn't help it."

Getting back on track, Eyes molds his armor again.

And completed the fourth armor c.

(Shit. They'll catch up like this)

Wayne felt a sense of crisis.

"Hey, Roddy. This way next. Support me."

"What? You didn't need my support, did you?

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"Yes, yes. Damn, it's rough."

(Oh man. You wouldn't have noticed this guy, that he was able to get back on track thanks to Loran. If that's okay with Lorraine)

Roddy laughed bitterly in support of Wayne.

Thus Roddy provided alternating support for the two, reducing the drain on their status.

That day, Wayne did not reach Norma with eight Armor Cs and Eyes with seven Armor Cs, but the wear and tear of the status was minimized and the next day the recovery of the status occurred.

[Wayne Melza's Status]

Arm Power (Power): 50 ( 10) - 70

Endurance (Toughness): 50 ( 10) - 70

Jun Min (Agility): 30 ( 10) - 50

Health (Stamina): 60-70
