I'm not a magician

Chloe has been working in Bard's staff shop for a year and a half. During this time, she has seen countless vivid faces and pondered countless kinds of exposed or hidden characters.

It stands to reason that Chloe should have learned the basics of human survival, but for some reason, she has always kept a special thing that belongs to equipment. She can't change this, and she doesn't want to change it now.

Brandon and Linton were still looking at Ji Chi with an indescribable expression at the moment.In this era, although the master-servant relationship can be seen everywhere, and because of this, the division of respect and inferiority in this relationship has become more and more obvious.

A sentence flashed through their minds at the same time - Ji Chi, you bastard!

Ji Chi couldn't stand their eyes, so he pulled Chloe over and asked in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you earlier, I'm not your master, you called me..."

"Just call you Ji Chi." Chloe nodded, raised her eyes earnestly, with traces of thinking in her eyes, "Actually, I have always known that in the human point of view, master is indeed not a decent word, but in From the perspective of tools, the master is the meaning of their existence. And I can’t deny that I’m also a tool, and you can’t change the mind of another race, can you?”

After hearing her words, Ji Chi was stunned for a while, and found that the little girl had changed a lot. When she first came out of the Weiss sea area, she looked like a hideous instrument, and she worked hard to become a human.

But now, she has a perfect human skin, but she has gradually picked up the almost abandoned instrumental heart, as if accepting the truest self.

"But don't worry, today is a special occasion, and Chloe will remember to call you by your name." Chloe noticed the increasingly dejected gazes of the two people beside her, and blinked at Ji Chi, like a real Like a little human girl, cunning and agile.

Ji Chi: "..." I think I have evidence to suspect that you are tricking me.

After hearing Chloe's words, the young master broke down even more. He gave Ji Chi a complicated look, and stepped back a few steps: "I, I, I'm going to class first, see you later."

After he finished speaking, he ran away in a hurry, with a bit of grief and anger in his back, Ji Chi had no doubt that after the young master reacted, he would be talked about forever.

Linton was even more miserable. He and Chloe had known each other in the last school year, and had been stalking her for a year. At this moment, he suddenly found out that she really "has a master", and his whole person instantly became depressed. In a few minutes, he didn't even notice a silver coin that didn't quite fall on the ground in front of him, and stepped over it with a trembling foot.

Ji Chi pressed his forehead helplessly, and simply didn't bother to explain. After a long time, they would always find something wrong.

In the third grade, two new students have been transferred to class S of the equipment school. One is Linton, who has excellent talent. He was born in the poorest area of ​​the empire. He even refined a [excellent] quality weapon in the first year, successfully stepped into the field of master weapon masters, and skipped directly to the third grade to continue his studies.

Another transfer student is Chloe, she is also a legendary figure, her refining method is very different from other equipment masters.

Other equipment masters refine equipment by sensing the properties of materials, and the result of this induction is equated to equipment talent by them.And if the equipment technicians were divided in this way, Chloe would belong to the category of "elm-headed with no talent at all, go home, wash and sleep."

But Chloe brings another possibility to all equipment engineers-keen observation and calculation.

She can tell which rock iron ore comes from, which climate, and which depth of the rock formation by observation, and then make careful calculations based on this, and the conclusion she calculated in the end will not be the same as the result that Linton sensed. How much difference.

But this way is too wild, and the professors of the School of Equipment are all blue when they know it-this is something that humans can do!Not to mention judging the nature of the material in an instant, just memorizing the prerequisites for the depth of the climate in the place of origin can kill generations of people!

However, no matter how non-human the process is, an instrument engineer who can make good instruments is an excellent instrument engineer.

Dean Qi had no choice but to approve her application for skipping a grade in the midst of his busy schedule.

So far, the peaceful days of Class S of the Equipment Academy have come to an end.

Being in a class of geniuses, the professor of Equipment S class is actually very proud. Teaching geniuses is indeed very fulfilling, but the premise is that they have enough ability to make these geniuses obey the teaching.

The professor stood on the podium and talked boastfully: "Do you know about the upcoming equipment competition! It is a feast for equipment engineers from all over the continent! Masters, geniuses, tools, and minerals are full of metal and edge! And I—— Standing on the highly anticipated podium, turning knowledge and painstaking efforts into immortal glory!"

The professor's enthusiasm did not infect Ji Chi, he covered his face and yawned big.

He has discovered a rule, no matter what kind of profession a professor is, he will always put a thick filter on himself and his profession.

At this time, it is very suitable to pierce this illusion with a sharp needle.

"Professor—" Linton raised his hand suddenly, staring at the podium with burning eyes.

The professor knocked on the table with his fingers, and looked at Linton kindly: "Say it."

He has taught too many students. The more he settles down, the more he realizes that the constraints of identity are actually very small. What really makes a person shine depends on their logic of doing things, which may be called the soul.The professor was very optimistic about students like Linton who dared to endure hardships and struggled. He thought to himself that such students must answer his questions well, maybe he would appear in the gratitude handicrafts of a generation of equipment masters.

Linton was overwhelmed with excitement: "Did the professor win the equipment competition? It's amazing! Can you show us the equipment refined at that time?"

The professor's smile froze slightly. He was used to the perfunctory compliments from the students, and rarely encountered those who wanted to know more about it: "Well... it can't be said that it is the championship... Ranking seven or eight is a bit of a haha."

Linton was quite disappointed: "Then you must have led excellent students to participate in the competition?"

The professor's smile froze again: "No... I'm one of the students..."

Linton was very disappointed: "But to be in the top ten, the bonus should not be small, right?"

The professor's smile was completely stiff: "...I participated in the first session, and I paid a lot of registration fees."

Linton was very disappointed: "That's all right, thank you."

The professor stands there at a loss, doubting his life. No matter what, this is a glorious resume. Why does he feel ashamed?

Ji Chi glanced at the professor sympathetically. He had already seen the kid's real purpose. There were so many foreshadowings ahead, and he was not greedy for the prize money for winning the competition.

The professor calmed down for a while, then cheered up and said tenaciously: "I just want to say, this is an opportunity! Especially now that the equipment competition is becoming more and more grand, every capable student should go to see it, even if the participation award If you don't have any, you can also see the gap between yourself and the peak!"

At this time, the professor also realized how to mobilize the enthusiasm of the students: "Moreover, the team that wins this competition will get a mysterious gift!"

When Ji Chi heard this, his eyelids twitched heavily, and he suddenly raised his head, feeling a bad premonition.

The professor raised his eyebrows when he received Ji Chi's attention, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "It is said that it is an item used by the God of Blacksmithing, but it doesn't matter, even if it is a gimmick, if it is resold, it can sell for tens of thousands of pieces Gold coins?"

Linton straightened up suddenly, facing the professor solemnly.

The professor smiled slightly, and finally threw out a bait: "It's rare to see you so interested, do you want to give it a try, Ji Chi?"

Chloe stood up with a whoosh, looking eagerly at the professor.

Professor: "... Chloe, don't get excited, sit down first, don't pack your bags, you haven't finished this class yet..."

The professor suddenly began to feel that these students were a bit difficult to deal with, sighed and continued: "However, this is a very serious competition, and this is an opportunity that you need to pay attention to. If you want to be really selected for it, the conditions you have to meet are also very strict. of."

"First of all, due to the need to refine high-level equipment in a short period of time, this competition is to be participated in the form of a team. The maximum number of teams is four, and there must be an equipment master as a guarantee."

Ji Chi supported his head silently, okay, don't go into details, I already know the configuration of the team...

"Secondly, the competition brings together the best equipment masters in the mainland, so there are also restrictions on the abilities of the participants. The equipment master of the team leader must be a master equipment master or above, and the participants must be at least an intermediate equipment division."

After class, Ji Chi was walking on the road, his head still buzzing with the professor's words.

"Finally, this time the competition will be held in Saint-Terry. At that time, the central competition venue, which has not been opened for a long time, will usher in the focus of the whole continent!"

Ji Chi sighed lightly, and the magic circle of communication on his wrist flickered brightly.

He stretched out his hand to light it up, and said softly to the inside: "Is the last part here? Well, don't worry about the candidate, I will bring the last person to your staff shop tomorrow... Don't worry, as long as you are willing to give the rewarded gold coins Give it all to him, and he will help you win the championship even if he fights his life."
