Chapter 213.2 - The Effect of Training 2
Her reply was completely different from Himeno and Shimokawa's. As expected of a diligent person, she wouldn't flinch even if her superior asked about the progress of her job.
Rather, the current me might only be able to produce the density of ice crystal with Freezing Alchemy Formation.
U~hm, this looks like the crystallization of magical power.
The thing that Class Rep showed me was a palm-sized crystal.
The colorless and transparent crystal was glowing with a pale blue light.
Maybe because it was made with alchemy formation, the appearance and shape of the crystal were really splendid and trendy.
Ice Crystal That was the name of the crystallization of ice magical power.
So, what can this thing be used for?
I still have no idea at this stage. We might know after a few more experiments.
At first, I thought that Freezing Alchemy Formation could only be used to flash freeze something. Alas, it could actually be used to make this crystal.
Perhaps we could make this crystal by gathering a lot of light stones.
Even though it had a higher density of magical power than the natural light stone, it turned out that the density was even higher than the one produced with Takanashi's alchemy.
Just as I had expected, when it was made by someone who specialized in that attribute, the quality seemed to be higher than the one made by the Sage.
It was as if she had shown her worth as a cyromancer by creating the ice crystal, however, she had yet to learn what it was for.
The only one who could extract magical power from this crystal was Class Rep, its creator. Nothing happened when I rasped the ice crystal and shouted Ice Sagitta. It wasn't an all-purpose item that allowed anyone who held it to use ice magic.
However, it didn't change the fact that it was a high-quality crystal of magical power. I wanted to think of another way to use it aside from using it for ice attribute equipment.
Rather, even if it was useless, we might need to make a crystal of water attribute from Shimokawa's Water Alchemy Formation, and a crystal of light attribute from SakurasLight Alchemy Formation. I would try to verify this matter after they were done with their jobs.
Well then, I'll be working on trying to find out the way to use the ice crystal.
Maan, I prefer Class Rep supervising our employees though.
Employee is a bit
Be it an employee or laborer, it won't change the fact that they're working in the entrance workshop.
Surely, we do look like employees.
After having distributed the jobs, everybody had been already, pretty much, allocated to their own job.
Now then, let me introduce the member I arranged to work on the entrance workshop!
Sage Takanashi Kotori. In charge of the production of all equipment, the most senior employee. Though her alchemy skill was the highest, the person herself always had low motivation to do her job properly.
Healer Himeno Airi. Though she could only use Simple Alchemy Formation, she did her best during the initial manufacturing process of the ore.
However, I wish she could do more. I mean, I hope shed learnt about various things since I had high expectations for this new employee.
Aquamancer Shimokawa Junnosuke. It was nice to have a male employee since I could scold him without having to hold back. I had to use the carrot and stick method since the person loves to play truant for the effect of Water Alchemy Formation was too important for us. His job was to create potions.
Geomancer Randou Kyouko. Though she wasn't too motivated, she ended up being the first one to finish her assigned job. She must be a humble genius.
I had heard that such cases often happened in Japan where a competent worker received the same treatment as the incompetent one. They did three times the workload compared to the other workers yet were paid the same salary.
Naturally, such cases wouldn't happen in our company. Your job ends as long as you finish the daily quota, and you can spend the rest of the day lazing around. The only problem was the fact that they got no salary, competent or not.
Maybe I should prepare a bonus for such a diligent worker.
Cyromancer Kisaragi Ryouko. Though we still had no idea of how to use Freezing Alchemy Formation, further research might prove it was an important material. Yet, I rather have her supervise the four workers in the workshop over her research so that they could work more efficiently. I mean, I couldn't supervise everyone.
The Saint Souma Sakura. Well, honestly I almost forgot about this one For now, I entrusted her with the development of a lighting tool with her Light Alchemy Formation. Since the core plan to defeat Yamata no Orochi was in the giant cave beneath that huge rocky mountain, we might need illumination magic tools when we launched an attack straight into its core.
Well, the lighting wouldn't be a problem as long as Sakura used a light spirit when inside that cave though.
The priority for the lighting tool wasn't that high, as such, I tended to avoid her. In this situation, Class Rep could do a better job than me.
And then, there was my loyal servant, claydol Rem who mined the light ore non-stop.
After the founding of Souma dojo, the hunting unit whose main job was to gather monster material was suspended. That's why the Rem-Dark Knight, Rem-Arachne, and Rem-Mino had replaced the hunting team for now. With the addition of skeletons and high zombies, their hunting team became much bigger. It was thanks to Rem and Co. that we got a steady supply of light ore while staying cooped up inside the school tower.
And lastly, there was me, Shaman Momokawa Kotarou, the self-proclaimed CEO who decided the policy of the workshop.
The priority and the type of weapon to be made first, the supply of the material, and the employee request. On top of having to make a decision, I could use Simple Alchemy Formation too.
I had no intention to do all of that by myself. Alas, no one willingly voiced their opinion. In that situation, the parliamentary system could deliver a more accurate judgment in exchange for some brawl. In our situation, we would be screwed if no one raised their opinion. My raison d'etre was to not waste our time with useless meetings.
Thus, we made the entrance of the school tower a workshop to manufacture our equipment.
In the first place, we didn't even have the prototype of a weapon that could be used in a fight against Yamata no Orochi. Alas I realized that we had more and more options right now. For me, the image in my mind became much clearer as we got more options.
We were still far away from our goal, alas, we had no choice but to rely on our vocation.
Everything went very well, at least for now.
We had yet to get stuck. Though the subjugation of Yamata no Orochi was still far away, everyone was currently doing everything they could to increase our chances.
In the first place, the fact that there was not a single quarrel so far was a wonderful thing.
The reason for that might be because everyone had grown up after so many ups and downs in the dungeon, or the effect of their vocation on their mental state. Naturally, there was also the fact that they were Japanese, so they had a sense of mission to work together to achieve our goal, various aspects coming together, allowing our cohabitation to continue without a hitch.
It felt as if the gears were meshing together quite nicely.
Thus, I thought that this environment would continue alas I might have ended up flagging myself.
On the evening of that day, a problem occurred.
Oi Kanzaki, are you really sleeping with Souma!?
Gimme a break already, Shimokawa
