＃Returner’s Notepad Episode 45

Stepping stones (4)

“You can move around freely while working on the assignment. This is a task that is impossible to cheat on anyway. A walk to freshen up your mind is also okay. “Please order as much as you want during lunchtime.”

What should I choose? I am staring at the bookshelf and thinking. I think there are about 300 books, 100 each in the upper, middle, and lower level bookshelf.

Let’s take a look at the lower level first.

I picked up a book from the lower shelf.

[Enchant: Alarm]

Sigh, I turned the page. It was a total of 30 pages, the alarm magic formula was 8 pages and the grant formula was 22 pages.

In fact, this ‘endowment formula’ is more important than the magic formula. Because it plays the role of maintaining magic power—or magic magic power—in an object. If the enchantment ceremony is missing or incorrect, the enchantment will disappear in 10 minutes.

A rough explanation of the process is as follows: After implanting a magic formula into an object, apply an enchantment formula on top of it using a magic stone to complete a beginner enchantment.

Like this, I also know about enchantments. It’s not that it’s not true, illegal enchantments are extremely successful in the underworld as well.

Ttogak-.

Suddenly, a small shoe came next to me. He was the guy standing next to me, looking up at the same bookshelf as me.

“Zion. “Do you know how to enchant?”

It was Raje.

“Does he understand? “Are you going to fail without even being able to find the circuit?”

Kane sneered nearby.

“Hey hey hey. Don’t steal a book just because it’s expensive. It takes everything. “You can’t make a living even if you work part-time for a whole month.”

Escher also helped.

“Oh, you guys go! shut up!”

Raye pushed the two away. They play drums and janggu together and do everything.

“Anyway, Zion. Shall I tell you~?”

“… … .”

I also looked at the intermediate and advanced bookshelves. The intermediate level was usually 30 to 40 pages, and the advanced level was 40 to 50 pages.

There is only one magic equation, so if you ask why the book is so thick, it is because of the amount of magic equations that explain the magic equation.

Of course, as someone who has intuition, there is no need for magic equations or anything like that.

“Shall I tell you!!!!”

“It’s a surprise.”

“Please tell me.”

Raye curled the corners of her mouth like a bulldog.

“what… … well.”

This level of horsepower equation can be solved with a paper cut line.

“Huh! “It seems like you don’t trust me for some reason!”

“How did you know?”

“sand! “Look at this!”

Then Raye showed me a bracelet.

“It’s a sapphire level artifact. It’s the Romell Road line, and it’s a mid-level enchantment. Is it because you come to school with this level of honor to show off? “There are many better ones at home, but this one alone contains two magical spells.”

It’s suddenly bragging. Raye cleared her throat and pounded her chest.

“Ahem. “It means I know that much about enchantments.”

… … What kind of logic is that?

“If you have multiple cars, does that mean you can make good cars?”

“sand. A car suddenly driving?”

“Well, that’s just your logic-”

“Ha, is this why men only know things like cars and watches?”

“… … .”

“Anyway. That’s it. How about this?”

Raye took out a book from the lower level section. It was [Enchant: Refining].

“If you make a cup with this, you can even drink poop water.”

“I don’t really want to do that.”

“So what are the requirements?”

Raye changed the book. It was [Enchant: Takeover].

“If you use this as an artifact, it will absorb all odors. When you hide your identity… … .”

The guy suddenly closed his mouth. He glanced over and saw that he was rolling his eyes. As if he had made a mistake.

“I hate both of them. How about this?”

“How about it, which one?”

I took out [Enchant: Stove] from the advanced bookshelf.

Just looking at it, it is very practical. I think it would be good to learn it and use it for my underwear. Raye snapped her fingers.

“Ah~ Stove~ The requirements are a bit difficult. If you make a little mistake, things get weird. That said, the performance isn’t all that special~”

“Is that so?”

You seem to be quite the expert.

“huh. No matter how good a magic stone you use, 4 to 5 degrees of warmth is the limit. It’s useless in hot places. Things like temperature are covered by the machete anyway, right?”

The horse body of Ildaesaseonryu basically allows humans to withstand harsh situations, such as extreme cold or heat waves.

I can’t write.

“what… … “I’m just going to use the stove.”

“Yeah, well~ I warned you~ No, I definitely helped you~”

Raye walked away with a condescending attitude, and I took [Enchant: Stove].

Now the next thing is to choose the magic stone.

Most seniors take magic stones without much thought. All magic stones are of the same C grade.

But there is clearly a difference. Even if the grade is the same, the ‘salary level’ is divided.

Right now, elite guys like Elise, Gerken, and Kane are proof. Since a while ago, you just kept picking magic stones.

“Let me see.”

I just found it in an instant with “SZX-9500”. Among the hundreds of magic stones in the container, the core is the clearest and most sturdy. I was about to turn around while grabbing what looked like a small axe.

“Hey. “Sdobb there.”

A voice calling out. I looked back. Escher grinned and snapped his fingers.

“Give it to me. Exchange it for mine.”

“Fuck you.”

“… … uh?”

Escher was briefly stunned, and Kane burst out laughing.

“Puhup! Ah, that crazy guy is hitting so hard.”

“You bastard just leaving?”

The two idiots ignored him and returned to their seats. He spread out [Enchant: Stove] on the desk. The first page was full of mathematical equations, but there was no need to calculate them. The circuit diagram of the horsepower formula was intuitively understood.

Next, I took a close look at the Buyeo ceremony.

The bestowal ceremony is also a type of magic magic ceremony, so it won’t be difficult.

“… … what.”

It shouldn’t be difficult.

It shouldn’t be difficult, right?

I frowned and glared at Buyeo-sik. Jiyiing – I strained my eyes and only then did a little blue light spread at the starting point of the Buyeo ceremony.

The circuit diagram that developed from there, however, twisted and tangled arbitrarily and disappeared without being able to find the inflection point or end point.

It’s a failure.

No, this Buyeo Ceremony is more difficult than Jongbaepsae?

Is that possible? There must be some other reason-

“… … .”

I suddenly saw the magic stone held in my hand.

“medium.”

The granting ceremony definitely requires a medium. To put it simply, it is a ‘mediated method’.

On the other hand, the paper cutting in my “Notepad” is a magic spell created purely from the magician’s magic power without any mediation.

Since there are different types, the way the circuit works is also different. Therefore, intuition compatibility is impossible.

“… … “X was done.”

If this is the case, I won’t be able to understand the granting ceremony. Should I give up on this assignment? Anyway, you’re no help, you bastard Shelton. There is no need to accumulate data right now… … .

—It’s a sapphire level artifact. It’s the Romell Road line, and it’s a mid-level enchantment.

I don’t know why I hear Raye’s unique, sonorous voice in my ears.

Actually, I get it.

I raised my head and looked at Raye’s wrist. The bracelet jingled every time he moved his hand.

A mid-level artifact from the Sapphire Level Romellode line.

Sapphire level means that its value as a work of art is higher than that of an ordinary gem, Romellode is the name of the famous workshop that produced the artifact, and intermediate level is the level of enchantment.

“… … .”

I got up without a word. I walked up to Raye and called him out.

“hey.”

“Huh?”

Raye, who was fiddling with the clay, looked up at me. Elise next to her wrinkled her face as soon as she saw me.

“Get out.”

“Not you. Hey, can I take a look at that bracelet for a moment?”

“… … .”

The eight-pointed symbol was erected on Laye’s forehead. It was a suspicion.

“Because it’s pretty. “I think it would be nice if you ‘helped’ me.”

I intentionally put an accent on ‘if you help me’.

Because this is my manito.

“… … “Well, to that extent.”

The guy showed his wrist. I looked at the artifact with “SZX-9500”.

On the outside of the bracelet, there is a very small pattern of magic engraved. It is a much more complex and naturally much higher level enchantment than the one we just saw in “Enchant: Hearth.”

I recorded the form of the spell and the way magical power circulates – that is, the circuit diagram – in a “notepad.”

“!”

There was pain in my eyes. It seemed like the veins had slightly burst.

“Oh, Moya. what’s the matter?”

“… … nothing.”

Then Elise spoke.

“Now go away.”

I checked the “notepad” with one eye closed.

[100 / 103 (-1)]

24-hour revision history: +2

The capacity was a bit tight, but the memory was clear.

“Goes.”

I returned to my seat and looked into the ceremony for “Stot.”

“… … “It works.”

I understood, but I actually used up all my magic power.

“… … .”

I looked around and fell down on the desk.

The best way to restore magical power is sleep. Even, my magic recovery efficiency is more than twice that of an ordinary person.

I’m not bragging, but it’s all thanks to Danjeonam. Cancer cells that proliferate infinitely help restore magic power or something.

“Hwaaaam… … .”

I fell asleep right away.

* * *

12:40 PM.

20 minutes before lunch time.

“… … “Hmm.”

Elise is worried. Staring at the object in your hand, you wonder what you will choose. What should I choose that I won’t regret? What should I choose? I wonder if I can reflect on it and say, ‘That was a really good day’ for the next month.

She is preparing for her biggest choice.

“Ellie. Have you decided?”

Raye asked. Elise shook her head.

“Please give me a little more time.”

“Why are you worrying so much about choosing a lunch menu?”

Raye tapped the smartphone screen. Escher, Kane, and herself had already chosen the menu 30 minutes ago, but Elise had been worrying ever since.

“It’s a day to eat regular food. a little bit. “Just 5 minutes.”

Elise’s diet management is eternal. For appearance, for strength, for physical strength, for intelligence, for concentration and insight, and for health.

However, the cheat to maintain that eternity is today, once a month—’Thursday’.

The 30 days, 720 hours, and 43,200 minutes of waiting should not be wasted.

“… … 5 minutes. Okay, tell me in 5 minutes. I have to have it delivered. “If you come late, you have to eat quickly.”

“ah!”

There was despair in Elise’s eyes.

“Well, I ate it in a hurry… … There were variables like that… … I made a mistake… … .”

“No, don’t make an enlightened face. “If I choose a menu quickly, I don’t have to rush to eat it?”

“… … .”

Elise already had her nose buried in her smartphone. Raye sighed and tilted her chair back.

“… … “Hwaaaam.”

Then I heard a yawn. There was a man squirming in the back seat.

“Oh, Shion, did you sleep well?”

Raye asked, smiling brightly.

Grumble——!

Instead of an answer, a boat horn sounded. Raye narrowed her eyes slightly, then widened them again. It was because I had a good idea.

“Oh, Zion is hungry?!”

“… … “It’s almost lunch time.”

“I’ll buy it for you!”

Shion, who was about to go out, stiffened. He asked back with interest.

“I eat a bit too much.”

“are you okay! I’m a rich man! “Order anything!”

“i envy you. “A rich man.”

Hmm – I handed the smartphone to Sion, who yawned again.

“Are we going to order the Seven Guy Burger? “I took pictures of everything on the menu.”

“Then I… … .”

Shion poked at the delivery app screen and selected a menu.

“Seven Burger, Spicy Bacon Burger, Spicy Chicken Burger, Hot Dog Burger, Chicken… … .”

The finger moved 15 times. The more it happened, the more the corners of Laye’s mouth went up.

The more you buy, the more we help!

“ruler. I chose. thank you.”

Raye, who was handed the smartphone, pointed to Elise.

“Wait a minute~ Ellie, I’m thinking about it right now.”

“worry?”

Zion also saw Elise. She was still flipping through the menu on the delivery app.

“Why worry about eating anything?”

“… … .”

Then, a blood vessel popped out on Elise’s temple. She said, putting down her smart phone.

“Are you going to buy me that monkey too? “Then I’ll order it somewhere else.”

“Hey, why are you saying this? “Ellie said she wanted to eat the Seven Guy burger first.”

Raye mouthed “manittomanitto.”

Since it’s my manito, I’m asking for some help.

“… … ha.”

Elise looked at her smartphone again.

It’s taken quite a while, but we’re almost there.

Think intensely by coming up with multiple hypotheses, review the process dozens of times, imagine the future that will lead to it, and make a decision you won’t regret today, tomorrow, and in the next month.

Get off here and now.

“Large bulgogi burger set.”

“Okay! No deposit! “I’m going to place an order right away!”

Raye quickly checked and placed the order.

“Phew… … “It was hard.”

While Elise was wiping away her sweat and feeling satisfied, Shion spoke.

“If you were going to order a basic set, why did you even worry about it?”

“… … “Why don’t you shut up?”
