Chapter 96.1 - The Second Year at the Academy - Attacker on the Ranch (1)

The rain that had been falling all night had stopped by the time I woke up.

I rubbed my sleepy eyes, got out of bed, and headed to another room.

I looked around the room and checked the walls and ceiling.

After the repairs, there had been a few rain showers, but there didn't seem to be any leaks so far.

It seemed like they had been patched up well.

I got dressed and put together the leftovers from dinner before carrying them to the living room.

I munched on the cold breakfast while lost in idle thoughts.

Lushena hadn't contacted me since then.

I was relieved that Lily was safe as well.

Lushena seemed to be living in a rented house, which was fortunate for the academy.

Even if something happened, my self-proclaimed grandfather, the academy director, would take care of it, and I had the authority of Doris.

So, The Troublesome Little Girl was a closed chapter, but it had caused ripples in its wake.

It was a heartwarming influence on the academy students, but I had my doubts.

A few days after the school assembly, I went to Lachendell's place to prepare an alchemical solution for symptom relief.

The owner of the room tilted his head curiously.

"Recently, there's been a slight increase in students studying alchemy. I can understand if it's the 1st-years, but what are the 3rd-years thinking? Do you know why, Alter-kun?"

Lily wasn't just an old man.

If you studied alchemy, you might go to the garden to collect materials.

I had suggested it for the best, but it had added to the academy director's worries.

Well, it was a peaceful problem. Let the youngsters enjoy their youth.

During our conversation, when I casually mentioned that "first-years knew about me," Cody answered.

"Alter, you're quite famous, you know?"

I tilted my head.

I had done a lot of things, but there were few eyewitnesses. I couldn't think of a reason to become famous.

When I mentioned this, Cody gave a wry smile and told me the reason.

Lambert and Felix were treated as exceptions among the second-years. Indeed, they were a cut above the rest.

So, what was I, who was training with those two, in terms of combat? Naturally, I was not ordinary.

Because I lived in a rented house and hardly interacted with my classmates, there was little gossip about me, but one of the three was considered the strongest among the second-years in combat.

Of course, this was limited to close combat. Elphimia was on a completely different level.

It seemed that Lushena had heard about it and approached me.

She probably thought it would be easier to manage a minor noble than Lambert of the viscount's family and Felix in his service.

I tilted the cup of general's tea.

I put it down after enjoying its mild bitterness.

The little girl had been taken care of. It was time to get back to [Magic Item Creation].

"Excluding academic studies is the right answer, isn't it?"

I'm in my 2nd year, and the lectures have advanced to the next stage.

It was a touch-and-go situation, but I had ventured into [Magic Item Creation] in alchemy and intermediate magic in magic studies.

I hadn't spent much time reviewing except for general education.

I reached out and rolled the ring in my palm.

If I had studied academically, I would have been a little further along.

Oh well, I missed the mark.

It was a durability-enhancing ring.

The ring I had made under Katie's guidance had become a magical item.

However, the joy was lacking.

The effect increased the strength of the ring itself, which was different from the durability of my stats.

If it were a weapon, it would have some value, but it was worthless as a ring, an unmarketable magical item.

In this situation, I was torn between starting to make my accessories in earnest.

Even if the success rate increased with self-made items, there would be no buyers for a dud.

Which were more efficient, magical items with a high success rate or weapons that were easy to recover the cost?

I couldn't find an answer, so I put the ring down.

"Anyway, I need to add magic stones. I haven't learned [Magic Item Creation] yet. I'll look for subjugation requests at the guild, and if there's nothing, I'll take on permanent requests. I should also buy a container for weapons."

I washed the rest of my breakfast with General Tea and stood up.
