Chapter 225.2. Orienteering Preparation
A magic armor that seals the enemy’s attributes will undoubtedly sell explosively. People would desire attribute nullification more than the output of magic armor.
“If it can completely nullify Aguni’s flames, Wartan might become obsolete.”
Shin used it in the match as a demonstration.
“That’s right! Shin, don’t interfere with people’s business!”
“Well, the stock prices have started to drop subtly.”
“Demons, devils, and evil gods! How terrible! We were carefully raising the prices several times, and now this!”
Mii-chan cries out and flops onto the table. Freyja mumbles something about Dog-san’s prices plummeting in 2 years, but it’s probably just a coincidence.
“You fool! The impact is already showing! Those trying to manipulate stocks deserve a sudden death!”
No messing with the money game! Please don’t hinder those who are working hard.
“That’s dangerous talk. However… I’ve already found the flaw.”
“Really? Wonderful! As expected of the God of Magic! So, what’s the flaw?”
Raising my face with enthusiasm, I sparkle my ice-blue eyes.
“Firstly, how much does this magical armor cost? Even the young lady could create an item that provides individual protection.”
“Yeah, I thought the effect might change in reality, so I tried making it, but it’s still just a novelty item.”
Mii-chan takes various gemstones from the item box, such as rubies, sapphires, topazes, emeralds, and more.
“To -Use- the item. By doing so, I can set up a barrier that nullifies attribute magic only once, but I wouldn’t want to consume a turn just to protect once, right?”
Mii-chan has [Soul Awakening], so she can still act even with that, but she wouldn’t want to consume an action just for one protection.
In my previous life, people were extremely skeptical about why such an item existed, as seen on the strategy sites.
Players needed the items before the enemy launched a big attack.
“I can only make it with Alchemist IV… Is level 60 required? Then how much is it?”
“One hundred billion is a huge sum. Perhaps it’s not a practical item.”
Frigg-neesan, who was lying down, sits up and takes a toothpick from somewhere. Why prepare a small plate?
Mii-chan guards the items, saying it’s not takoyaki, while Frigg-neesan swiftly stabs the gemstones with the toothpick, and their battle begins.
“But it was turned into particles, right? Even if it’s a bit expensive. Wouldn’t people still buy it?”
“It’s probably based on the technology used in crafting [Frost Giants]. I can assume it uses the magic stone of monsters with fire immunity.”
“It’s not just expensive, but also rare.”
Hmm, I see. So, the average noble wouldn’t be able to afford it. Shin is quite cunning. Was his demonstration some scam?
“It seems they succeeded in miniaturizing it… But we won’t know anything until we get the real thing. Well, we can remove the expanded nullification area, at least.”
“How are you planning to do it?”
“Look here. The particles around Aguni’s Crystal Bit are rapidly disappearing. Its ability to absorb flames is weak. If Aguni had used flame magic a few more times, the particles would have disappeared easily. The particles are too fragile. There seem to be other ways to get rid of those particles.”
Grandpa points to the Crystal Bit on the screen. Indeed, the particles around the Crystal Bit are decreasing. It’s because it’s constantly using flame magic.
“Well… It was all just a bluff. He wouldn’t have noticed it if the Crystal Bit hadn’t emitted flames, right?”
Freya is right, but once you think it’s nullified, you wouldn’t use that magic until the particles disappear.
As a bluff, it’s enough. Besides, it can absorb magic a few times.
“Then, it’s expensive and rare. And if rumors about its weakness spread, the impact might lessen.”
“Still, some people might invest if they think they can advance this technology.”
Grandpa is right. That’s undoubtedly a technology with potential. It means it’s worth investing in.
I thought it could crush Menou marquisate, but… they weren’t that stupid after all.
“We need to investigate whether there’s advancement potential in this technology. We might find something through orienteering.”
“Will you attack Shin?”
“How rude. I thought monsters that don’t usually appear in a place like this during orienteering will show up.”
A typical development. Monsters appear during orienteering. The monsters attack the students, and everyone runs away in fear.
Then, the protagonist comes to the rescue. Yeah, even if it’s just a farce, it sounds fun.
“I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s orienteering, including Shin’s abilities.”
Leaning on her elbow, Mii-chan smiles mischievously. She’s an adorable girl who looks like she’s plotting something.
“Oh, it’s one of those ‘the levels were different’ types. In that case, I can understand the reasons behind the changes in the original story.”
Grandpa snorts as if bored and turns his face to the terminal. He seems to have lost interest already.
It’s true.
There might not be a need to consult him. I wonder what Shin’s personality is like when he appears in orienteering.
Mii-chan is a bit curious about that.
