Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai

Chapter 211.2 - Training 2

Okay, Shimokawa will be put in charge of the potion.

Haah?

I will entrust our precious supply of true potion, which is already few in number, for the sake of research to analyze what is lacking from our bootleg potion, and calculate what we need to add to achieve the same result.

The heck, like hell I can do something like that.

It's not a problem of whether you can do this or not. It's something that you have to do.

Man, my research of making a bootleg potion that had reached the bottleneck could finally resume.

Bootleg potion was something that could be found in the ruins of the underworld, something that the werewolves carried with them. Though we managed to gather a few of them, maybe because they were bootleg, they had almost lost their effect. But if we managed to reverse-engineer those bootleg potions, we would have more lifelines.

In my opinion, each member should carry a potion with them. When push came to shove, a potion that could literally heal any kind of wound was the best lifeline I could ask for.

Well, you're right, I should at least try it for now.

Said Shimokawa listlessly as he went to the warehouse where we kept the potion.

Well then, next is the most anticipated Iron Ore Alchemy.

Nay, I think this one has the same plain effect though.

That can't be true, Randou-san. Since the flavour text had already said Alchemy Reinforcement, then it can definitely enhance the base material.

The effect might be insignificant since it was still the basic one. But, since this was the reinforcement type that none of us could learn about, I couldn't help but look forward to the future growth of this skill.

Uhm, here we go~, Iron Ore Alchemy Formation!

And so, the Iron Ore Alchemy Formation which could be invoked by firing the golden revolver revealed its effect along with the orange light.

The target was a normal iron sword that you could find everywhere. It should be easier to see the effect of iron ore alchemy by observing the changes taking place on this iron sword, or steel sword, not that I cared which one.

And then, along with the glow of the alchemy formation, the iron sword changed into

A lump of iron

Told ya~

Though it was her doing, Randou-san acted as if it was someone elses problem.

The thing left on top of the glowing alchemy formation was a small lump of iron, the target of alchemy itself was already gone, leaving behind only its hilt. It seems only the blade part was considered as the target of alchemy.

There's no change in both its appearance and weight.

Not even a special power could be felt when I touched it. It seems all it did was turn the blade into a lump of iron but This could be done with Simple Alchemy Formation too.

Randou-san, could it be that you imagined a lump of iron or some other strong image when you invoked your skill?

Eh, what does that mean? I don't understand.

What I mean is, alchemy is transforming something in accordance to the image you have in your mind, you know?

U~hm, I see.

Sorry, it seems my explanation isnt enough.

Ah, don't mind it, Momokawa.

Why did she comfort me instead? I mean, this result must have something to do with the image, but, well, that was unfortunately the very thing that Randou-san sucked at. Perhaps she really did invoke the alchemy formation without thinking about anything.

Meaning that the result would become a lump of iron if she invoked her alchemy without any consideration.

Maybe you just lack imagination.

Still, that iron is quite sparkly.

The one who interrupted was the most unexpected person, Tendou-kun. Despite what he said about him happening to be in this place and having no interest at all, didn't he actually just want to stay in the group?

What do you mean by sparkly, Tendou-kun?

It's troubleso~me.

Class Rep.

Ryuuichi?

Tch, okay, okay, stop glaring at me already.

Yup, appointing Class Rep as in-charge-of-Tendou-kun was the best decision, after all.

In short, it has a magical power in it. Just like those light stones.

In short, it'll be more sparkly if it contains more magical power.

Since there is no polarization, its luminosity is around 1 point.

Wait a minute, the difference between attribute and attributeless magical power aside, do you mean there's a way to measure the amount of magical power?

Spare me from explaining the details, you can ask Takanashi for that.

TA~KA~NA~SHI!

Class Rep barely managed to stop me who was about to scold the sloppy employee who couldn't even perform the standard operation of "Report-Contact-And- Consultant". She actually had the gall to not give me such information and even sought Takanashi for the necessary information instead of me.

At this point, I had finally come to appreciate the importance middle management played in an organization. By the way, after everyone learned their own, unique alchemy, the number of staff stationed in the alchemy workshop at the entrance of the academy tower suddenly rose to unprecedented numbers. Meaning that we needed to restructure the entire organization.

Well then, let me hear the report, managing director.

Who's managing director?

Oops, I suddenly got carried away and started to talk like the president of a company from a certain gambling manga.

For the time being, everything goes as per your expectation, Momokawa-kun.

In this world, you could find many minerals that resembled the one you found on Earth, such as the previous iron ore. On the other hand, this world had special minerals that didn't exist on Earth, namely materials that contained magical powers such as the Light Ore.

Though iron ore itself didn't contain magical power, it would contain magical power after being refined into steel.

In short, it was possible to load magical power into iron ore by adding light stone when using alchemy on iron ore. Since you normally used light stone to enchant iron ore so that it contains magical power, the degree of the magical power contained within was graded with Luminousity. In addition, the metal containing magical power was called the universal name, Light Iron.

Combining alchemy, iron ore, and light stone to create light iron was the basic of the basic, and yet, Randou-san's Iron Ore Alchemy Formation could actually achieve the result without light stone.

In short, it's possible to create light iron without light stone with earth magic.

Yeah, to put it simply, can we hail it as a godly skill?

I wonder about that. It might be versatile, but the amount of magical power inside the ore itself isn't that much.

This might be related to the quality of the metal, but even at best, it'll only reach luminosity 2.

Luminousity level was graded from 1~5.

Luminosity 1 was enough to catalyze the invocation of low-tier spells. When it comes to luminosity 2, it can be used to shoot low-tier spells as it was. A mid-tier spell in level 3, and an advance-tier spell in level 4, in accordance to the amount of magical power in them.

As for level 5, since there was no upper limit for the magical power contained within, it was assumed to have enough magical power to cast a non-stop advance-tier spell or Yamata no Orochi's breath. In short, any amount that surpassed level 4 was included in level 5.

But if we train this gal, luminosity 3 or 4 isn't a pipe dream.

It seems to be extremely convenient magic since it can endow magical power, has some effect in smithing, and can normally alchemize light stone.

Hey, why do I feel that both of you seem to know my magic better than me?

That's because there was the result of various experiments with Iron Ore Alchemy Formation right before us. We had confirmed the result but still, Randou-san really should have more self-assertion about her own power.

Intelligence isn't my forte, after all, teach me please, Momokawa.

Sure.

Well, we all have our weaknesses. Leave the investigation about the effect of the spell to Class Rep and me. I'll think of a way to enhance her area of expertise instead.

Lastly, I'll check the Light Alchemy Formation which seemingly is only capable of glowing, just to be sure, okay?

It seems you always try to piss me off at every opportunity

Thus, the effect of Sakura-chan's Light Alchemy Formation that she invoked with throbbing vein on her temple was

Look! It is glowing!

Thi-This isn't mere glow, it seems there's Lux Elemental(Light Spirit) dwelling within this glow

Calm down Sakura. It doesn't really matter even if your aptitude in alchemy is low.

Their iffy ability aside, this would definitely raise the production rate of our workshop.

With this, we were finally on the right track to prepare the equipment to subjugate Yamata no Orochi.

Now then Sakura-chan, go to that corner to make an electric torch.
