1Good morning everyone, this is Ren . Yeah, it’s been a while since I introduced myself like this .
Yesterday, I went to peep at the smithing workshop across the road, but… they chased me away at the front door . 𝐅𝐮𝐜𝐤 you!
They told me that since I rented a room at Arnold’s workshop, I somehow became a spy? Not to mention, they wouldn’t listen to me and immediately kick me out from their place .
Moreover, they threw salt at me at the end . In the midst of my rage, I was weirdly impressed that there was such a culture in this world .

However, I checked the sword that was displayed in the show window using [Appraisal] and [Analysis] . It was [Non-attribute magic LV 1] . The sword itself was ‘good quality” . It was a lot shabbier than I expected? But maybe they didn’t use the best sword to decorate the shop front? It would be bad if it was stolen . Then I guess they could make one or two levels higher than that? Hmm .
I won’t go to the commercial guild yet . I’m scared . I have to prepare myself to go inside . Yeah .
That’s why today I would finally make a mana sword . But before that, I had to recover my stamina . Since I was hungry, I would make breakfast today! When I explained that I wanted to be energized in my blacksmith training today, they easily lent me the kitchen .
With that, let’s get cooking! Today I will make a pork bowl . Not a beef bowl .
Raised cows were basically for nobles, so ordinary people couldn’t buy them . Beef monster meat was usually a high-class item . Therefore, I’m using a pig as a substitute . So I’m making an orc bowl .
First, I cooked a large amount of rice . Rice was stocked in the kitchen . It seemed like rice wasn’t very popular with the workers because they didn’t know how to cook it deliciously . I’m using my clay pot . I made a lot of them, so using one wouldn’t be a problem .
While watching the temperature and the clay pot, I cooked the meat on the top at the same time . I asked the landlady to chop a large amount of onion . She was watching how I made it from my side, but it would be impossible to reproduce the taste since I was using dashi and mirin . But she could make something similar, maybe .
Plus, pork bowl was very popular .
Now that I had filled my stomach, I should start experimenting with making a mana sword . Experiment! Experiment! It’s a fun experiment time! Yahoo!
…That being said, let’s review the typical magic sword making as a start .
Only some blacksmiths or alchemists could make a magic sword and mana sword . As a blacksmith, I wouldn’t be able to make it since I didn’t inherit a secret technique . Thinking that way, did the alchemist seem to have lower skill acquisition thresholds?
I used my brain a little to think about how to make mana sword as a blacksmith master . Probably, they threw in magic stone or a part of a demon when they smelt the ore? Or maybe they toss ingot when they forge the sword? I guess it’s something like that .

Perhaps the secret was the mix ratio, what kind of material to use, and so on…?
For an alchemist, maybe it was the derivative of [Magic Tool Making] skill? I did it myself when I made a stove before, but I had to fill in a lot of things like the outline of the magic power circuits… I think . These things should be written in alchemy’s grimoire .
I tried to make it, but I couldn’t do either of them . So I forcefully made a magic sword with [Creation Magic] . The material was the sword that I forge on my own and my own magic power . But it would be bad if I failed, so I tried with a throwing dagger first . I had more than 100, and even if I failed, it would be alright . I guess .
Okay, here I go!
…Yup, it’s done . I succeeded in adding [Non-attribute Magic LV1] .
Next, I would try the second one with the skill called [Magic Bestowal] . Apparently, this was a particularly unique skill . In my status, they were in the same line as [Creation Magic] .
The unique skill was a rare and powerful skill that a few people or even one person had acquired in the past . My [Creation Magic] was a unique skill no matter how I think about it . Since they were in the same row, [Magic Bestowal] and [Multitasking] were probably also unique skills .
Then the skill that I could pass on with this [Magic Bestowal] skill and [Skill Bestowal] skill was limited to the skill I have, and the level of the skill I could bestow was up to the level of these skills . I had my non-attribute magic in LV8, but I could only bestow it to LV3 . Because of that, using these skills with [Creation Skill] should increase the skill experience together .
That being said, here I go again!
…Yeah, this one is also good . [Non-attribute Magic LV3] . I repaired the first one to make it into LV3 . After this, I repeated the same thing until there were more similar skills .
…Ah, I learned [Mana Sword Creation] skill on my tenth try . It was faster than I expected, so I was a bit disappointed . By the way, the level was already on LV3 . Perhaps it was linked to [Magic Bestowal]? It would be easier to raise the level now, so I’ll take it…
Next, I repeated the same thing with various attribute magics . For the time being, let’s start with [Fire Attribute Magic LV3]… After the tenth try, I got the [Attribute Sword Making] . This was also LV3 . As I thought, they were all linked? Usually, they would be different, though… It might be because of [Magic Bestowal]? Would having a higher compatibility skill affect the lower compatibility skill? Well, it’s easier to raise the level anyway, so I’m fine with it .
By the way, since I could now make mana swords and attribute swords, let’s try to raise the level of these two skills first . I had 110 throwing daggers and forged 213 swords since I came to this workshop . Let’s bestow all-attribute magic to all of them .

…It took a lot of time as expected . It was almost noon . I took MP recovery potion many times along the way . However, thanks to them, my skill level for [Magic Bestowal], [Mana Sword Creation], and [Attribute Sword Creation] had all reached 5 . Yeah, they’re raising really fast .
In addition, there was an unexpected event . The level of my attribute magics had also risen . The darkness and lightning attributes, which had a low level, increased by 3 LV, and all others were increased by 2 LV . Finally, the non-attribute and water attribute became LV10!
And then, the [Magic Sword Creation] skill leveled up… Well, multiple attribute swords were considered as magic swords . So maybe that’s the reason . But this was also LV3 in the beginning . Was this linked to [Skill Grant]? Anyway, now I would be able to bestow ability skills instead of attribute-based ones .
…But before that, I’ll have my lunch . I’m hungry . And my MP is too low . Let’s drink some potions . Gulp gulp .
After I ate my lunch, I resumed my work . But before that, I reattached all of the LV3 All-Attribute Swords I made to LV5 . It was important to raise the level! …But in the midst of it my [Mana Sword Creation] became LV6 and I had to redo the whole thing!
But well, it was all good . Next was [Skill Bestowal] . Before that, I should drink MP recovery potion and recover my MP into the full gauge . I didn’t know what would happen after all if I run out of MP .
By the way, what I did was the same test as the mana sword in the morning . For now, I forcefully attached the skill using [Creation Magic] . What I got was [Attack Enhancement LV1] . Just to make sure, I’ll start with the throwing dagger .
That being said, here I go!
…Hmm, it’s done? Somewhat? Somehow, I feel like the MP consumption was high . But I could make a magic sword . It was fairly easy… I was a bit disappointed again . But I was worried about the large amount of MP consumed .
As an experiment, I tried using [Creation Magic], [Skill Bestowal], and [Magic Sword Creation] together . Right, I decreased the MP consumption considerably . Next, let’s attach [Endurance Enhancement] . It’s a convenient skill since it would make the weapon hard to break and reduce the maintenance work… Yup, I attached it without any problems .
With this, I probably could add other skills I saw in the book . For now, should I gain experience by attaching [Attack Enhancement] and [Endurance Enhancement] to all weapons?
…Although I drank a lot of MP recovery potions along the way, I finished the work without problems . Thanks to that, I’m hungry . In the midst of it, [Magic Sword Creation] went up to 4 and I had to start over, but with this, the power of my sword projection attack with [Sword Control Magic] has improved!

…For some reason, the level of [Blacksmith] also raised by one to LV8 . So [Magic Sword Creation] can be classified as a smithing experience in the broad sense of “making a sword”? No, I’m grateful, but… I felt somewhat wrong .
Well, since I could make magic sword and mana sword without any problems, next was… the holy sword and the cursed sword? No, I felt like I could do this, but… well, let’s try it for now . Here I go!
…Oh, this was no good . Impossible . I felt dizzy .
What, just what was missing? Ahh, this was a guess, but maybe my sword creation skill level wasn’t enough? Somehow, I felt like there would be a requirement to increase all the sword creation skills to LV10… It’s scary since I might not necessarily be wrong . However, when I saw my status, I had [Holy Sword Creation] at LV0 . Did I learn the foundation? I wonder about that…
Once I checked the [Holy Sword Creation] skill in [Appraisal], it seemed that I could make cursed sword using [Holy Sword Creation] skill . What does that mean…?
Now let’s return to the main subject .

Well, what should I do next? Should I raise the level of my [Blacksmith] for the time being? I wouldn’t be able to gain the experience to raise the level of [Magic Sword Creation] unless I have the sword as a material . I had to ask the master to give me ore again . After that, I would practice blacksmithing again…
Eh? I haven’t used my mithril? Right, I also have that, huh… Well, maybe I should try using them soon?
Oh, it’s already night . Let’s have dinner .
The landlady asked me to teach her how to cook rice and meat after dinner if possible, so I decided to teach her in the future . Eating heavy meals for breakfast made my stomach uncomfortable, so it would be helpful if they could use rice . Rice was a lot cheaper than wheat too…
