The Regressor Make Everything

7 episodes

“Come forward with the finished weapon.”

At Kim In-cheol’s call, the two men headed to the table where the judges were sitting with their completed weapons.

On the table were the items submitted for the previous exam, and Sehun Lee looked at the items Hans had made.

‘The one I made earlier was the three swords. And this time the shield was made.’

It is a small, circular shield that can be worn with one hand, often called ‘Buckler’, but it wasn’t too bad.

‘However… … .’

When Se-hun Lee, who saw Hans’ shield, was making a dissatisfied expression. Ryu Eun-ha opened her mouth.

“Then let’s look at the things of cadet Hans first.”

The cross-shaped skeleton that forms the center of the shield and the outer surface with a soft blue luster. It was engraved with a wave pattern symbolizing the waves, but it was very luxurious apart from its performance.

[WelleSchild]

[Rating: Advanced] [Quality: Best]

A shield with water attribute magic.

Maximizes the power of the ore used as a material to amplify water elemental magic and replaces pure magic with water elemental magic.

*Increases the power of water attribute magic.

*Magic power can be replaced with water attribute magic.

“It’s attribute substitution for magic amplification. You’ve created a difficult effect well.”

Hans’s expression, which had been hardened by Ryu Eun-ha’s expressionless face, praising him, softened slightly.

‘okay. This topic is compatibility with previous submissions to the last. If that’s the case, there’s still a possibility.’

Comparing only the products made this time, the other side may be superior, but the long and short ones are the only way to know. That’s when Hans regained his will.

“However.”

Ryu Eun-ha, who put down the Weller Silt, continued the evaluation with a still expressionless face.

“The center of gravity of the shield is uneven, and the magic circuit is too exposed. It seems to be intended to make it easier to release displaced magical power, but after blocking attacks a few times, the effectiveness will drop quickly.”

“… … .”

“Looking at the structure there, it seems that the shield is permanently damaged when using attribute substitution. Is there any countermeasure for this?”

Ryu Eun-ha’s criticisms pouring out non-stop.

Even Hans’s expression turned white in an instant at the irrefutable criticism, and Michael’s expression became miserable.

“There seems to be none. Next time, I think it would be better to pay more attention to the use and maintenance of the weapon.”

“Yes… … Yes… … .”

“And compatibility with existing weapons was also disappointing because it was simply a simple approach with a sword and a shield. My evaluation ends here.”

When Ryu Eun-ha’s evaluation was over, his eyes naturally turned to Michael, and he frowned and answered briefly.

“I will help the head of the department in the evaluation.”

“ah… … .”

Hans bowed his head at the fact that he wasn’t even evaluated, and Michael’s eyes grew colder at the sight.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like the board will be broken after returning home. Sehun Lee smiled at the scene.

‘Even now, the evaluation is accurate.’

When Lee Se-hoon is satisfied with Ryu Eun-ha, who gently said what he wanted to say. Kim In-cheol coughed and cleared the atmosphere.

“Then next is cadet Lee Se-hoon… … .”

“I’ll see you first.”

Before the words could be finished, Ryu Eun-ha stepped forward.

While everyone was bewildered by her aggressive appearance, Ryu Eun-ha carefully looked at the hwajeokcho.

A scabbard with a subtle scarlet color. At regular intervals, a triangular pattern was carved like a tooth, and Ryu Eun-ha, who was paying attention to the shape, slowly raised her head.

“Lee Se-hoon cadet.”

“Yes.”

“This submission. Would you like to sell it to me?”

The atmosphere around him was frozen by the unexpected story, and Michael looked at him with a puzzled expression.

“Come on, wait… … Sell your submissions. What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

A person called a judge suddenly asks you to sell your submissions. The situation itself was embarrassing, but it was the difference in attitude that made Michael even more concerned.

‘Someone who only poured harsh reviews on Hans’ submissions… … .’

He knew that it was well made, but was it that much?

“I don’t mean to pass it on right now.”

Ryu Eun-ha, who lightly ignored Michael’s question, continued to offer suggestions while looking at Lee Se-hoon.

“After the senior selection and entrance ceremony, all submissions are returned to the cadets. So that means sell it to me then.”

“… … .”

“It’s the lowest of the rare grade, but if you sell it to me, I’ll give you five times the market price. How are you?”

“… … Hee, rare grade?”

At Ryu Eun-ha’s suggestion, Michael’s face was colored with astonishment.

I thought it would be an advanced grade, but it’s a rare grade! When he is bewildered by a result that exceeds his expectations.

“The head of the department.”

Kim In-cheol, who was standing on the podium, spoke softly.

“It is still under review, so I think it would be better to be a little careful about private conversations.”

“… … okay. Excuse me.”

Ryu Eun-ha, nodding her head, put down the hwajeok candle and looked at Lee Se-hoon again.

“Have you ever made rare-grade weapons before?”

“no. There is not.”

It made me tired if I included before the return, but this is the first time in my life.

“Then you made your first rare-grade weapon today, and it doesn’t look good. I heard that the blacksmith industry is at the stage where it is recognized as a step away from being a beginner.”

The stage of forging new powers and skills, not ending with making use of the characteristics of the material.

It is the rare grade that proves that you have begun to lay a foundation as a blacksmith.

“It was not obtained using high-grade materials… … What part do you not like?”

Ryu Eun-ha continues to ask questions as if Lee Se-hoon’s response is questionable. Michael’s eyes lit up at the sight.

‘Is the head of the department also suspicious?’

It is not that the skills of a cadet suddenly increase one day, but for Lee Se-Hoon, the change was too drastic.

At the very least, after entering the Tower of Heroes and coming out, I would understand.

When Michael held onto his last hope, thinking that he might have found something he hadn’t been able to find.

“I don’t like it.”

Sehun Lee replied with an expressionless face.

“I am not happy with the rare-grade weapons that I made for the first time in my life.”

It’s good to check the effect of engraving, but there are not one or two things that I don’t like.

Besides, it’s not really the first time I’ve made a rare-grade weapon, so how am I supposed to be happy?

“… … .”

“… … .”

In response to Lee Se-hun’s unimaginable answer, Michael made an absurd expression and Hans looked at him with a bewildered expression.

And Kim In-cheol, who had been holding back his laughter by biting his lips, straightened his voice and answered.

“Hey, cadet Lee Se-hoon. Please speak more politely.”

“I’ll be careful.”

“… … .”

Ryu Eun-ha, who looked at Lee Se-hoon, opened her mouth again as if she had finished thinking.

“Again, the weapon itself is excellent. The center of gravity is even and the shape is neatly held. I think you were thinking about fighting while wearing it, right?”

“Yes. you’re right.”

“It is, too. The effect of saving the flame also seems to have good compatibility with the five colors. And above all… … .”

Ryu Eun-ha, who grabs a fireweed and pours magical energy into it.

When the people around you are puzzled by the action. The firewood began to glow more and more red.

Whoops!

A flame that burns naturally around the entire sheath.

It was not simply emitted, but moved as if it was flowing down the surface.

Whoops!

Then, even with a slight touch, the flame burns through the hand in an instant. Everyone was surprised by the tremendous radio wave power, and Ryu Eun-ha nodded her head.

“This part, which increases the propagation power of the flame by giving ‘flow’ by using the difference in the compression ratio of the magic circuit, is very tasty… … No, it was great.”

Ryu Eun-ha, who put down the firewood, looked at Lee Se-hoon.

“However, looking at the structure of the weapon skill ‘Yahwa’, it seems that its durability will be permanently reduced every time it is used. Do you have any workarounds for this?”

The same problem as Hans pointed out.

Sehun Lee could not avoid it because it was a disadvantage that often appeared in weapons made by alchemy.

“It will be restored by immersing it in manastone.”

Such basic shortcomings could be easily solved if only the core of the ore was kept alive.

“Whew… … .”

“… … .”

In response to Sehun Lee’s answer, Michael took a deep breath, and Hans lowered his head again.

“Do you have anything to say, Vice-Chairman?”

“… … There is not.”

“Then the outcome seems to have been decided.”

It produces low performance and is even equipped with safety.

“The head of the smelting department will be cadet Lee Se-hoon.”

The result was as obvious as fire.

* * *

Kim In-cheol, who remained in the examination room at the end of the additional test, looked at Ryu Eun-ha’s words with a curious expression.

Ryu Eun-ha continues to stare at the red scabbard and hwajeok-cho on the table. Kim In-cheol carefully asked the reaction that he had never seen before.

“Are you thinking of cadet Lee Se-hun as the head of the department?”

“Yes. It will be.”

“… … Are you really?”

At Ryu Eun-ha’s immediate answer, Kim In-cheol’s eyes widened.

It is because I thought that rare-grade weapons would certainly be numbered among freshmen, but not at the level that would make them the head of the department.

“Do you think Professor Kim thinks differently?”

“Of course I think it’s great, but… … I’m not sure if it’s good enough to overwhelm the heads of other faculties.”

“On the outside, you might think so. But the true value of this weapon lies in the weapon skill.”

The weapon skill ‘Nighthwa’ contained in the firewood.

Even if the grade and quality are the same, the value of the weapon varies greatly depending on what the weapon skill is.

If Ryu Eun-ha had hit Hwajeokcho’s weapon skill high, there was nothing strange about such an evaluation.

‘Is that the level of martial arts skills of cadet Lee Se-hun? … .’

It is not easy to create a skill, but increasing its efficiency and performance is another dimension.

An understanding of the structure of the skill and the ability to cut it according to the weapon. And the operational ability to make it happen.

If making rare-grade weapons is the starting point, improving the perfection of weapon skills is a few steps higher than that.

“Hmm. Professor Kim didn’t look closely, so I can’t help but not know. I was curious too, so let’s take a look.”

“Yes?”

Ryu Eun-ha, who stood up with a hwajeok candle, blocked the hole in the sheath with her palm, and breathed in her magical power.

woo woo-

Magical power that does not flow out but accumulates inside. Ryu Eun-ha gave a strange expression to Hwajeokcho, who casually accepts her magic, which is quite violent compared to others.

‘It’s strange too.’

It must have been a first encounter with the cadet, but the made weapons fit perfectly just like the ones he personally commissioned.

A familiarity that I could feel just by looking at it. Because of this incomprehensible perfection, Ryu Eun-ha lost her cool and told Lee Se-hoon to sell her weapons.

Kwok.

‘… … Let’s calm down.’

Squeezing the rising desire again, Ryu Eun-ha stretched out her hand as if pulling out a sword.

“Yahwa.”

The condensed magic power along with the starter was shot forward.

Aww-!

A huge flame covered the air of the testing ground.

The protective magic activated and completely blocked it, but Kim In-cheol’s eyes widened at the enormous scale.

“What… … .”

A skill that compresses the magic inside and releases it at once.

It was a complex structure that could cause damage to weapons if even one mistake in the compression, adjustment, and release of magic power, but Sehun Lee created it flawlessly.

“How is it?”

“If it’s like this… … It’s definitely overwhelming.”

Perhaps even the deputy head of the department, Michael, will not be able to fall for this result.

In-cheol Kim, who was relieved inwardly, looked at Ryu Eun-ha, who was looking at Hwajeokcho again.

“You seem to like it very much.”

“Yes. It’s the most interesting thing I’ve seen recently.”

At Ryu Eun-ha’s answer, Kim In-cheol put on a surprised expression. Not knowing anything else, she was the one who looked more strict than anyone when it came to armor.

But how could such a Ryu Eun-ha give such favorable reviews for only rare-grade weapons? Kim In-cheol was slightly curious and asked carefully.

“Which part is so interesting to you?”

“Hmm. If you look at this weapon right now… … There are definitely a lot of things missing. The level of perfection is good, but my physical ability is poor, so it is difficult to fine-tune it.”

Ryu Eun-ha, who looked down at Hwajeokcho with sharp eyes, spoke calmly.

“I think that cadet Lee Se-hoon’s original level of perfection is 70%, no, maybe 60% or less.”

“her… … .”

“And that lack is expected.”

Ryu Eun-ha’s red eyes, who were slowly stroking the sagebrush, shone faintly.

“What if the physical abilities that I lack now are filled? Various skills and attribute magic. And what if better materials were given?”

As if she had seen the future, Ryu Eun-ha, who showed a faint heat in her expressionless face, licked her lips involuntarily.

“maybe… … He’s going to make some really tasty armour.”

“… … .”

In response to Ryu Eun-ha’s response, which feels a lot of anticipation for Lee Se-hoon, Kim In-cheol put on a strange expression.

S-class hero ‘Weapon Eater’ Ryu Eun-ha. She had another nickname, often referred to in the blacksmithing industry.

A different kind of food that enjoys the ‘taste’ that can be felt in armaments and makes food as a hobby. A gourmet who buys hard-made armaments, eats them with one meal, and leaves a harsh evaluation.

That is Ryu Eun-ha.

‘You are a promising blacksmith who is expected by gourmets… … .’

Should I call this bad luck or luck? Kim In-cheol smiled bitterly at Ryu Eun-ha’s expressionless face, stroking hwajeokcho.
