"...It's finished."
A bracelet for me, for Heejin, and for our capable substitute climber to help them climb safely.
The completion of Suho's Bracelet Mark 2.
"The balance is perfect. It's a shame that I could only merge them three times with the Fusion Doga, but that was somewhat covered up with the Enchantment Amplification Stone."
This is the completed bracelet.
I tried one to see if it worked.

[Guardian Bracelet X3]
Grade: A++
Description: A bracelet made through a mystical casting mold. It recognizes the fusion of divine power and mana.
Effect: 1. Once a day, create a gentle shield that blocks attacks related to divine power or mana.
2. Disperses divine power or mana at an appropriate speed.
3. The holder's stamina recovery and regeneration power are overwhelmingly increased.
4. Insight stat +6
>>
[Stat engraving level has increased.]
The level of stat engravings that had not been increasing before also increases.
It was worth the effort.
'If I just had this, I would get less tired while enchanting.'
A new means of protection to protect me.
Of course, wearing this did not increase your Insight stat.
It is not immutable, but it is volatile.
This is because it showed the characteristic of rising only when conditions are met.
Insight was still a tricky one, having to watch the work process of other production skill holders to develop.
'It was worth the effort to create the perfect stamina recovery item.'
The days when I made the wooden sword that Shin Joo-hee had, I kept telling myself that I had to make it, I had to make it.
It feels like a one-time reward.
Going forward, I need to more than double my work efficiency with this
'I can't give Heejin anything better than this, but it's still good enough to protect her.'
This is Heejin's bracelet that didn't contain the pumpkin stone of the World Tree.
However, although it lacks the stamina recovery effect, it still has the basic regeneration speed and shield.
'Because I made it so that it can unfold automatically.'
What if a car or villain targets your little brother?
The Immortal's Fragment and the Bracelet of Protection were activated twice.
'Hmm, when did I tell Joohee?'
Sending it right away is also fine.
But now there is a proper channel of communication.
So, I'm saying there's something wrong with just sending it.
'It's difficult. It's even more difficult because I've never had a proper conversation with a woman before.'
A life focused on manufacturing.
Moreover, after losing his parents in an accident, he was unable to engage in normal social activities. Have you ever had a conversation or interaction with a woman?
'But you're saying that when Heejin came by invitation, we had a normal conversation?'
If I think about it carefully, it was possible because there was a mood lubricant called Heejin.
When I was locked in Broyan's maturing cellar, it was easy because I wore the Meister's mask.
'That's right. It was a problem that I had to deal with as a master.'
It was a really simple solution.
So this time too, I was planning to speak calmly and nonchalantly.
Tutuk.
"uh?"
Until something falls down.
Who sent it?
It is a red jewel that emits blue smoke.
An item that is obviously unusual at first glance.
I opened a community.
One message that immediately stands out.
The sender's name is visible.
Logia. The lord of the Red Tower.
This time, Broyan died and the rankings changed.
She is ranked 65th out of 100. Why is she like that?
'ah.'
I understood it right away when I read the content.
She was locked up in the same maturation cell as Shin Joo-hee.
It seems like we ended up saving them together by chance.
This was not intentional.
Would that be the case from Logia's perspective as well?
-I've thought about how to repay you for saving me over and over again. I'm sure it won't be enough for you, Mas ter. But I've learned that I must repay your kindness. I've put in as much as I can to repay you for saving my life. I hope you'll accept it, and I'm sending it to you.
150 billion. And an unidentified jewel.
Logia's life was heavier than I thought.
No, it's heavy, not to mention solid.
Now I really don't have to worry about money at all.
'I guess I just need to spend it appropriately and file my taxes properly.'
With that thought, I reached out to the jewel.
A random return of gratitude.
It will definitely be safe.

[Primeval Flame]
Rating: ???
Description: Cannot be viewed. (Requires Insight 20)
>>
I see this again.
Same conditions as the old carving knife of the previous enchanter.
This is an unidentified item that others cannot even see as having these necessary conditions.
This is what you call a reward, Logia.
'Do you think I can recognize the value?'
Still, I guess it was a useful item.
It is said that it absorbs inexhaustible mana and uses it to create magical devices and magic circles.
'Hmm. I guess I'll be able to see its true value if I increase my insight further.'
It is a precious jewel to me.
If it turns out that this is the new friend who will strengthen the Guardians.
You should get into the craft without hesitation.
'If you raise it by 50,000 more, you can check both items.'
I put the jewels and the old carving knife in the drawer together.
The moment your insight reaches 20, you two will be licked thoroughly.
'By the way, what's the point of just receiving like this?'
Should I call it a pang of conscience?
My only intention was to rescue Shin Joo-hee.
The Logia that got caught there sent items that supported the main industry of the Magic Tower worth hundreds of billions.
It won't work.
If this continues, I'll have trouble sleeping at night.
My mom also taught me that if you expect too much for free stuff, you'll get in trouble.
I was just following the teachings.
'How can I repay you?'
I don't have anything to give right now.
I don't have any plans to make anything for the time being.
So, I wrote down what I thought in my reply.
-I received the reward well. I will not neglect the crisis you are facing in the future.
If you encounter any difficulties later, I will enchant the item to help you.
Are you satisfied with this?
The reply came back quickly.
-Thank you! Actually, I was very scared and had a hard time because of what happened. But I think I gained strength from Meister's reply! Actually, I will be joining an expedition team soon and going to the X-class gate. We will check for signs of the Gate Breaker and rescue Orion. I was worried because I was assigned to be the lieutenant in the ranks. So, will you really help me if I am in danger?
This kid talks too much, it's a problem.
To sum it up, it's a simple X-class gate.
If it's Orion, is it #1 out of 100?
There was a reason why there was no news until now.
More like a sign of a gate breaker.
'It's a X-class gate....
An unusual content in a reply that is like a rice cake.
I start to think a lot.
Are you saying that a gate breaker will happen soon?
If it's X-class, isn't it a real world-ending crisis?
'Let's ask more details.'
I needed some more information.
So I asked, and Logia answered faithfully.
"hmm."
I sat at my desk and looked at the organized contents.
Missouri's X-class gate.
The 10-person select expedition team will leave in two months.
There are two goals.
Is there really such a sign that there is a danger of the Gate Breaker that Broyan was talking about?
'And to confirm Orion's life or death and secure his new recruits.'
As it turns out, I have the power to help them.
No, this wasn't helping them.
'I have the power to identify this unknown danger.'
Gate wandering.
I needed to use this to check things out before they did.
It was a X-class gate in Missouri.
Okay, check.
"I should go and do a preliminary inspection."
Because it was written in the ability that the ether state was absolutely safe.
With that power, he can check the danger of Breaker and also confirm Orion's life or death.
If everything goes smoothly, you will gain the trust of the top 100.
It was a situation of killing two birds with one stone.
-Logia. I have a favor to ask.
-Yes! Tell me anything. I will do my best to fulfill any request to the best of my ability.
-No big deal. We will continue to have regular meetings to prepare for the expedition. Can you share the details with me?
Information inside the gate.
Detailed information on the number of participants in the expedition.
Finally, the exact departure date.
-Of course! I'll report back as soon as I find out!
....
Logia showed infinite loyalty to my request.
The value of life is certain.
"Okay, we've figured out one big thing. Now for the bracelet."
An item I promised to give to Shin Joo-hee.
I was just about to pick it up.
-Huh, Master?
Huh? You're contacting me first like this?
It was unexpected.
So I ended up being a little confused.
A beautiful line of communication between the opposite sex.
How should I answer?
There is no emotion expressed in the text.
But the voice is different.
It all comes down to the highs and lows of the voice and the tremors.
So I had to swallow my embarrassment.
It's not like I can tell that I've been single for 24 years.
Yes, I am an emotionless master.
"What's going on?"
At that time, it was the same as when we divided the maturation room.
A satisfying low and mid-range sound came out.
After hearing her purpose, he naturally gives her the bracelet.
Items can only be given or received from those who have given permission.
Because I already knew that Shin Joo-hee had given permission in the maturation room.
The bracelet was sent to her without any problems.
He didn't miss out on cheering either.
I'm always cheering you on, so work hard on your climb!
'I bet he gave you the bracelet too. Should I take a look?'
I was secretly curious.
What does the ultimate tower do?
Finally, we can see it from Shin Joo-hee's perspective through shared eyes.
I used the skill out of curiosity.
'oh.'
A view that changes with it.
I saw the white space that Shin Joo-hee was looking at.
Empty space.
He lowers his posture and concentrates as if he heard something.
Suddenly something caught my eye.
A desk and a chair. A piece of wood on the desk?
One was smooth. The other was engraved.
'An imprint.'
Isn't this a setting completely for enchanters?
I heard that the top presents goals and difficulty levels that match the climber's skill level.
This was just a production skill, a goal for enchanters.
'This is difficult.'
It's a difficult goal for Shin Joo-hee to solve.
There was no way a woman who had only ever held a sword in her life could hold a carving knife and carve an engraving into wood.
"Shin Joo-hee. Come to your senses. From now on, do exactly what I say."
So I decided to take control of the situation.
It's good to have a head to butt heads with.
So you don't have to break through it alone.
-Ma, Master? Are you watching this situation?
"Yeah, I see, the goal is to carve an impression into a piece of wood. Is that right?"
-Yes? Yes... That's right.
In that case, it is right to help.
Additional rewards will be given for setting new combined records.
I got a taste of how sweet it is through the first floor reward.
'I have to help them set a new unified record this time too.'
I don't know about the first floor, but it's possible from the second floor onwards.
Then it was right for me to do what I could.
"I'll help you. Can you do as I say?"
-I'll try.
He holds a carving knife, not a sword.
It's the same knife, just with different uses.
Yes, there is a subtlety to swordsmanship, so you will adapt quickly.
Since we can communicate well, Shin Joo-hee will easily complete the engraving as I say.
With that, you can break a new integrated record and get additional rewards.
I had no doubt that it would end like that.
'uh....'
what?
It seems like you're following along exactly as you said.
Why can't I cut it like this?
Why is the surface all eaten away?
I guess rats have been digging everywhere.
'Wow, my goodness.'
No, why can't I do this?
Is it really necessary to struggle with something this easy?
frustrated.
I feel like I want to barge in there and do it right now.
'ah.'
It was a thought that suddenly occurred to me.
Is this the difference in perspective between a genius and an ordinary person?
Yeah, I guess she feels like she's doing well just like I said.
But in my opinion, it's a mess.
Top seemed to have the same gaze as me.
-Ah! I failed. Why?
Shin Joo-hee is flustered.
Everything was reset before her.
Didn't meet goal, so do it again.
'This looks like it has a lot to tell you?'
There's no other way.
Shin Joo-hee and I, if it's for a unified new record.
I have no choice but to put in a little effort.
"Again. Let's start from the beginning and do it slowly. Can you do it? Shin Joo-hee."
-Of course, Master.
Fortunately, she is also very enthusiastic.
I had no intention of having a successor at this age.
'Let's give it a try.'
I started teaching myself how to slowly carve again.
I worked so hard, but I don't think I'll get any additional compensation.
I will definitely receive additional allowance.
This is a lecture on engraving that lasts for several days.
I couldn't ignore the passionate students.
'So I taught this one hard too.'
Shin Joo-hee was not an ordinary person.
He was a genius who was a little slow in digesting things because he took different paths and accepted my intentions differently.
-The shape and order of the strokes that become an imprint. This contains the mystery of the unity of attack and defense....
What the heck? I'm scared.
Why are you mumbling like that?
Shin Joo-hee realized this and quickly conquered the second floor.
It's been like that ever since.
He keeps mumbling incomprehensible words and spews out mana.
No, isn't it just that you're spewing it out on purpose?
"This is it."
Then he concludes his speech.
Mana exploding at the same time.
Shin Joo-hee is suddenly engulfed in a blue current.
As I was looking at it from her perspective, my vision began to flash blue.
-Thank you, Master.
The light fades and your gaze falls on the ground.
It was Shin Joo-hee who bowed.
-Thanks to your teachings, my skills have improved. I feel like I have unlocked new abilities.
"What skills have been unlocked?"
-Imprint swordsmanship... that's what it is. It's definitely better than the swordsmanship I learned at home.
Shin Joo-hee doesn't show her emotions well.
But this time, I felt happy.
-I will treasure and nurture this power that Master gave me.
Something about the word choice sounds strange?
Well, I'm glad my climber has grown.
This one just got a lot of training and it grew on its own.
As expected, Shin Joo-hee is a genius.
"Then I'll step aside. You've worked hard, so take a rest."
-Yes. Can I contact you again next time?
"If you wish."
I guess I'll contact you when I reach the top anyway.
All along, I was just doing what I had to do.
"Okay, first the reward."
It's all thanks to the competent agent and successor.
This time, I achieved a new integrated record and received additional rewards.
I was given 3 points and an unidentified liquid.
It is a white liquid contained in a flask.
What the heck is this?
