The Regressor Make Everything

35 episodes

“The seat is over there.”

Sehun Lee, who was drawn to an empty seat by Erica, made a strange expression.

“You said you met by chance earlier.”

“yes.”

“But why do you even have my seat?”

Two empty seats. No matter how you look at it, when Sehun Lee looked at the situation with an absurd expression on his face, Erica calmly replied.

“I was wondering if something like this could happen.”

“… … okay. You’re going to be bored.”

Anyway, it’s more comfortable than standing and listening. Sehun Lee, who sat down, pulled out the catalog placed in front of him and opened it.

‘A total of 36 bags.’

The items to be exhibited today had already been set up on the stage, and there were six pieces per cradle on the table.

‘Hmm… … There are no young characters in the second year… … .’

There was no name I had seen before returning, and the iron sword that the second-year chief had made was, frankly, inferior to Hans.

At a lower level than I thought, when Lee Se-hun was looking at me with a cold expression on his face. The host walked out from behind the stage and stood in front of the podium.

“From now on, we will start the regular auction for the second year of the smelting department. The subject is iron sword. A total of 36 items were submitted, and detailed information is written in the catalog, so please refer to it.”

The lighting inside is slightly dimmed, and the lights on the stage side are brighter, naturally attracting people’s attention. The host, who confirmed the appearance, proceeded to explain smoothly.

“Before we start the auction in earnest, I will also explain the quality verification procedure that has been specially added to this auction.”

At the same time as the host’s story, the light was focused toward the center of the stage, and the pure white cloth placed on the cart reflected the light in all directions.

“This white cloth is Seogeumpo Seogeumpo, a cloth woven after melting the fur of the beast ‘Baekho’ and making fine threads. It’s soft, but it’s as hard as metal, and it has excellent resistance to slashes.”

In line with the host’s explanation, the staff who came out with a sword lowered the Seogeumpo from top to bottom.

Kaga!

Fireworks bouncing in all directions. It was hard to believe that the sword and cloth collided, and when everyone looked at them with a surprised expression, the staff gave them even more strength.

Kagagak──── Pakang!

A sword that could not withstand the strength and was cut in two. The staff lifted the piece and showed it to the blade, revealing the blade with all its teeth.

“Thanks to that, it is easy to distinguish items whose durability has been lowered to increase the cutting power.

“Five. It would be fun.”

“It looks like you have prepared it properly.”

A verification method that may destroy the submitted work if done incorrectly.

Participants made interesting expressions in a situation that is difficult to find in a typical auction. This is because it looked like a device to make Lee Se-hoon, the head of the department, stand out this year.

“Are you going to break all the swords of the second graders to be dramatic?”

“Even so, I wouldn’t do it. Do you think it will be done by cutting down the worn-out seogeumpo?”

If there is a promising prospect that can be promoted by any faculty, they tend to direct a little bit. Participants considered the verification through Seogeumpo as part of that, and Michael, who was watching the scene from the back of the stage, smiled.

‘It’s going smoothly.’

The reason for the quality verification is clear and the justification is established. Even if the incident is suspected and investigated in the future, it will be an incident in which the vice president is motivated by the appearance of a new prospect.

‘That would be the story when the verification was successful.’

The white square sword that Sehun Lee created was definitely excellent, but it did not overcome the ‘limit’ of a sword specialized in cutting power.

Of course, it was a tough task for a cadet to jump over it using only iron, but that’s not something the deputy head of the department should be concerned about.

‘I hope you like it.’

Looking at Lee Se-hoon sitting in the audience, Michael smiled, and the host, who finished all explanations, started the auction.

“Then let’s start the auction now. The No. 1 Black Joseph Cadet… … .”

With the host’s name, the staff comes out with a sword on the cradle and gently lowers it towards the Seogeumpo.

Kaga River!

“Five… … .”

“Isn’t the color different?”

In the previous demonstration, black sparks bounced off, but this time blue flames popped up. Admiration flowed from all corners of the audience at the unexpected sight, and Erica looked at Lee Se-hoon.

“Do you know why?”

“Seogeumpo, to be precise, is the characteristic of ‘Seogeummo 西金毛’, the hair of a white tiger.”

S-class Beast Beast White Tiger.

Since he was caught so long ago, many people thought that he was simply strong, but his actual abilities were a bit complicated.

The different properties of fur and leather, and flesh and bone, combined to create an extremely strong defense.

“Imitate the anticipation of a metal weapon that touches the fur, and no matter how good a weapon is used, its durability is reduced. It’s a beggar-like ability.”

“Great.”

“I must have destroyed hundreds of hero-grade and legendary-grade weapons for nothing. If you add leather, flesh, and bones to that, it wouldn’t be a joke.”

Lee Se-hun, who was explaining Baekho to Erica, suddenly recalled a memory from before returning and stroked his chin.

‘By the way, was King Seo Geumho being made by now?’

Legendary-grade armor made using the by-products of a white tiger.

It was the only equipment that used the ‘heart’ of a white tiger, and it was evaluated that it almost perfectly reproduced the original defense.

‘My heart is a bit coveted by me, but how can I not find a way… … .’

The producer is also unknown, and the first appearance of the weapon is on the black market, so it is not easy to find it. That time when Lee Se-hoon was thinking about how there would be no way.

“Then the sharper the sword, the more disadvantageous, isn’t it?”

After realizing something, Erica frowned and asked.

“right. Swords with increased cutting power usually have low durability.”

As long as it is a well-balanced sword, it won’t hurt too much even if it slashes at the Seogeumpo. This is because they usually choose to stabilize the durability rather than save the blade more than necessary.

However, in the case of Lee Se-hoon’s white long sword, the blade was sharpened to the limit to make use of the sharpness. So, the durability had to be relatively low.

‘It is highly likely to be broken by Seogeumpo.’

For those who know about the material, it is an explicit arrangement. But it was too vague to criticize it.

This is because there were many cases of dissatisfaction with the items made by the cadets because they focused on cutting power and had poor durability.

‘Even if the white long sword is broken this time, it will be accepted as having made such a defective product.’

Especially in the current situation where swords from other sophomores are passing through, it goes without saying what kind of gaze he will receive if he breaks himself.

After that, no matter what they make, the smelting department, Kim In-cheol, will work as if they have done a great job, and the reputation will be severely damaged.

‘Once a perception is captured, it is not easy to fix it.’

After that, perhaps he would conciliate or banish them like the professors of the smelting department sent out before him.

‘The ability is better than I thought.’

Not only did he save Seo Geum-po, but it seems that the bold move under Babel and Ludwig didn’t just come up to the deputy head of department.

When Sehun Lee is reassessing Michael inside. Erika, who was looking at it from the side, made a puzzled expression.

“it’s okay?”

“what?”

“If the sharper the sword, the more disadvantageous, the sword you made is the most disadvantageous.”

“What. That’s it.”

Sehun Lee, looking at the white long sword shining uniquely on the stage, smiled lightly.

“If I didn’t do it right.”

Kaga River!

Each time the sword was lowered on the Seogeumpo, flames of different colors jumped out, and most of them were finished to the extent that their teeth came out slightly.

“The 25th sword verification has been completed. The starting price of the bid is Rs. … .”

After verification, the auction started immediately, and after most swords were called a few times, they were sold immediately without much fuss.

This is because most of them are advanced grades with no weapon skills, and the 1,000 or so participants who visited the auction house today were aiming for only one object.

“then… … Finally, the 36th sword. We will conduct quality verification of the white square sword of cadet Lee Se-hoon, who is the head of the department for the first year of Borsippa.”

The staff carefully lifted the last remaining white square sword and showed it to the audience.

A pure white anticipation that shines faintly under the light. Everyone gathered at the auction house looked at them with their eyes shining with a sharp force that seemed to cut them just by looking at them.

“Whew… … .”

The staff took a breath and slowly brought the blade of the White Long Sword towards Seogeumpo, taking a breath that was incomparable to the previous items.

hey hey!

A completely different scene unfolded on the stage.

A strange sound as if the blades were interlocking rather than being cut. At the same time, the pure white spirit that had wrapped around the white long sword rose and leaked to the surroundings.

Kagang!

Flames flew out of the employee’s protective gloves holding the handle.

“Huh… … !”

Realizing that his hand was about to be cut from the anticipation that was pouring out, the employee stepped back in surprise, and the white long sword that fell from his hand fell to the floor.

Whoops!

A white long sword that pierced the floor of the auction house.

In the sudden situation, the participants stared with their eyes wide open, and a heavy silence fell inside the auction house.

What the hell just happened? When even the host is unable to speak to a scene that cannot be understood even with the naked eye.

“Can I explain for a moment?”

Sehun Lee stood up from his seat and spoke calmly.

“ah… … that is… … .”

“I’ll send it to you.”

Kim In-cheol, who was sitting in the front, spoke when the host was unable to make a decision in an unexpected situation.

“Isn’t the person who made the weapon the best explanation?”

“Oh, yes. All right.”

It’s not anyone else, it’s my supervisor, what should I do? With the host’s permission, Sehun Lee climbed the stairs and climbed onto the stage.

The gazes that can’t even be compared to when they were seated. Lee Se-hoon, who looked at it leisurely, pulled out a white square long sword that was stuck on the floor.

“I… … protective gloves… … .”

“ah. it’s okay.”

Even so, he does not cut his hand with the sword he made.

Lee Se-hun, who sent the staff back, glanced at the audience while lightly scanning the blade of the white long sword.

“First of all, I will explain the characteristics of the seogeumpo used in this verification, to be more precise, the fur of the white tiger.”

Sehun Lee repeated the explanation he had given to Erica, and the audience roared when he heard the story.

Anyone with a bit of savvy would have noticed that the quality verification is quite unfavorable to Lee Se-hoon’s White Long Sword.

“That’s why it’s easy to break the sword that was originally focused on anticipation, but… … The white square sword I made is a little different.”

Sehun Lee, who showed off the blade of the white long sword, stroked the bright white spirit on the outside.

“This ‘anticipation’ on the white long sword is not simply a reflection of light. It is a phenomenon in which magical energy that circulates through the sword is formed.”

“Magic?”

“No matter how I look at it, I don’t feel that… … .”

If it’s an anticipation made with magic, there’s no way they couldn’t feel it.

Sehun Lee smiled at the people who were puzzled.

“It’s normal if you don’t feel any magical power. It was created with only a small amount of magical energy scattered in the atmosphere. It’s like a firefly if you ask me.”

Lee Se-hun lightly swung his white long sword in the air, and each time the pure white anticipation formed on the surface shone more clearly. As he swung the sword, more magic permeated into the sword, and his spirit became stronger.

“Of course, it doesn’t just glow like a real firefly. By adjusting the magic arrangement, the released magic was compressed… … To put it simply, you can think of a very thin sword attached to the blade.”

Although the density of magic power is not high enough to be called a sword, it is sharp enough to be called simply light. That is why it is expressed as ‘anticipation’.

“Then, is the phenomenon that just happened because of anticipation?”

In response to Erica’s appropriate question, Sehun Lee nodded.

“right. When the same anticipation intersects, it creates resonance, not cancellation. And I can do one fun thing here.”

After finishing the explanation, Se-hun Lee exhaled lightly and looked at Seo Geum-po.

‘If done wrong, it can be really broken or cut.’

Either way, if you show that way, your reputation will be tarnished. So I had to do it perfectly, but I wasn’t in very good shape for that.

This is because the aftermath of working all night to help Yeom Seong-ha remained all over her body.

‘I’m still confident… … You’d better be careful.’

Is there any way I can use it now? Sehun Lee, who was checking what he had, suddenly found Erica staring at him.

‘Come to think of it, at the entrance ceremony, the ordinary crow was reinforced and dealt with.’

A technique that is possible because the composition of the spell itself is accurately interlocked without any deviation. Like the barrier she had shown in the invitation before, Erica showed such precision that she thought it was perfect.

‘Perfectionism that sets a goal and executes it without any error. And for that purpose, they move aggressively.’

A method that pursues extreme efficiency without any waste. The shape of the character Erica was drawn in my head, and it was expressed in Lee Se-hoon’s hands.

Whoa!

An ore that looks like it was made by joining thousands of thin wires together. Se-Hoon Lee immediately checked the performance of the newly created Inseok.

[Relationship – tetrahedron]

[Rating: Advanced] [Quality: Low to Medium]

An artificial ore with compressed magical power.

When mixed with other minerals, it adjusts the disorganized internal magic arrangement.

*Adjusts the arrangement of materials used together.

‘great.’

With a performance that perfectly matched, Sehun Lee immediately grabbed the seat.

[The affiliation engraving ‘Four stone’ is activated.]

👌👌👌👌👌👌

A silver thread leaking from his grip and leading to a white longsword. At that moment, the shaky anticipation gradually subsided and turned into a pure white blade.

Even the vibrations that appear when the magic is released were perfectly adjusted to create a shape like a sword.

“With such a small amount of magical power, such a vivid form… … .”

“I hope it’s not a sword… … ?”

A skill that cannot be believed even with the naked eye. Seeing the people’s astonished eyes, Sehun Lee smiled and looked at the blade.

‘Okay.’

This should be enough to refine.

Lee Se-hoon, who stretched his white long sword forward, slowly lowered it to the top of Seo Geumpo.

hey hey-

The anticipation of the Seogeumpo and the anticipation of the white long sword are perfectly interlocked and cover the blade in the shape of a V.

Se-Hoon Lee, who saw this, pressed the white long sword a little more gently.

Kaga River!

A spark that collides with anticipation and bounces off. At that moment, Sehun Lee pulled the blade towards him at once.

Skaang—!

With the sharp sound of iron, the blade of the white long sword was sharpened even more.

[Rare]

[White Longsword]

[Grade: Rare] [Quality: Low]

A long sword forged with pure white spirit.

The blade, polished to the limit, meshed with the magic arrangement, giving it a strong yet sharp foresight. The enchanted energy is compressed and released to the blade.

*Making power increases cutting power.

*You can use the skill ‘Baekye’.

‘Hmm. What is this… … .’

A day that could not be properly erected with a common whetstone was saved more. Of course, compared to using a special grindstone, it is not enough, but if it is, it will not be bad for an item to be put up for the first auction.

Sehun Lee, who was examining the white long sword, suddenly found people staring blankly at him.

“ah. It has been upgraded from Advanced to Rare. I think it would be good to reflect this part in the starting price.”

“Yes? Ah, maybe that weapon skill… … .”

“You look like a white man. Let’s see.”

Whoa!

Sehun Lee lightly used the weapon skill ‘Baekye’, and a clearer anticipation soared above the blade.

“It is a simple skill that enhances anticipation.”

“Well, then… … According to the manual, the starting price will be raised from 1 million won to 5 million won.”

The price jumped more than 5 times with just one weapon skill. Of course, this was only the starting price, so we don’t know how much the real winning bid will be.

“then… … Shall we start now?”

Everyone gathered at the auction house swallowed dry saliva at the sight of Lee Se-hoon’s white long sword.

A weapon made by the head of a department that is attracting attention. There, the ‘promote product’ that has been upgraded from advanced to rare. The rarity value of the white square longsword, which was still high, increased even more.

“Seven million!”

“10 million!!”

“15 million!!!”

Its price began to rise at an alarming rate.

A precise structure that can compress a very small amount of magic to the level of swordsmanship. A useful tool that can be used as a tool to practice swordsmanship.

Since it was already a new research material rather than an ordinary weapon, people hung on to it endlessly, and the price continued to be updated.

So, when the leading digits went up one by one, and the unit finally exceeded billions. It was the two of them who did not give up.

“Two billion.”

Erica with her eyes bright and calmly raising her hand

“Ugh… … 210 million!”

Seeing that, Jake quickly raised his hand and shouted.

The children of a prestigious family who are the head of the same first-year department and are among the most popular in the world. Sehun Lee, who looked down on the scene from the stage, truly admired it.

‘This is the money of the upper class.’

To burn billions of units on only rare-grade weapons. I wondered if it was crazy, but what about it? All the money shouting over there is my money, and it should be the basis of my budget.

“Oh, 290 million. Does it end here? Is it really okay to go back bare-handed?!”

At the sight of Lee Se-hun waving his white sword and shouting, Jake’s eyes widened and his hands were raised again.

“… … 300 million!!”

“310 million.”

“Three billion… … two thousand… … !”

“340 million.”

Erica calmly raises the price, and Jake keeps chasing after making a sick sound.

No matter how rarity it was, it was too expensive to use for a rare grade, even a yawning thing.

At that time, everyone was astonished by the bidding competition that seemed to be an under-the-hood work between Inoue and Myers to recruit Sehun Lee.

“600 million.”

With one man’s declaration, the auction house froze.

When they arrived, Jake and Erica’s faces hardened at the appearance of Dean Ryu Eun-ha, a red-haired woman holding up her hand with a grim expression in front of the entrance.

A famous person who said that he would definitely buy and eat a weapon once it was shot. That’s because Ryu Eun-ha was called a weapon eater and gourmet.

‘Six billion… … Anyway, this is… … .’

‘I’m not sure it’s worth it… … .’

At a time when the two of them could not raise their hands and were troubled by the price far beyond their expectations.

“Did I call it too low… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Ryu Eun-ha’s murmur echoed through the quiet auction house. The two sighed and shook their heads.

“The ship, the white square longsword. It was sold for 600 million won.”

Lee Se-hoon’s first auction was successfully completed.
