Academy Student With 999 Speed

75 – Oops, my hand slipped (2)

“Wait a minute…! No, you can listen and think about it…!”

“I have something else to tell you, man. I’m not accepting that request.”

“No… That’s not it…!!”

Bang!

I knocked on the door and called him again, but all I got was a firm answer.

Unlike the game, that person is not an NPC.

Of course, I was thinking of rejecting the request, but I didn’t know that I would reject it so firmly.

Will he, that Tram Smith?

Tram Smith often breaks even the weapons of fairly high-level guardians, and despite that, it’s Tram Smith who sticks to his shameless image, but he refuses the request from an academy cadet because he’s scared?

I’d rather be rejected because the level isn’t right.

“Hey…! This is what I really need…! Please help me just once!”

“……”

“Please….. Please..!!!”

I never thought I would kneel before this bastard.

But that means it’s important.

Depending on whether you get help from him or not, there may be a big difference in your future battles.

Because it makes a big difference whether you risk your life or lunge five times or four times.

I waited a while longer, but the tightly closed door still didn’t answer.

Really…?

Are you sure this is the end?

At that time when I was about to turn back empty-handed like this.

“……!!!!”

“……… Hey! What are you doing…!”

“Isn’t that too heartless? I’ve been waiting that long, can I help you at least once?”

“…So, why did you decide that…”

The savior has appeared.

“Come on, wake up. Let’s listen to that story a little longer.”

“If you’re going to do whatever you want, you can leave my studio, right?”

“Ignore the old saying over there. Now, they say my name is Bandeum.”

“What? Kkondae? What bullsh*t…!!!”

I never thought that such a warm person would still exist in this world.

It seems the world is still worth living in.

————————————————————————- —

“Hmm… It’s a vision. It’s definitely something I’ve never heard of.”

“Ha, I’m not at a level where you can intervene…”

“Who said what? You have to do the work.”

“…..”

After that, fortunately, we were able to continue the story.

Predictably, that Vandeum seems to be Tram Smith’s best friend.

To see the obstinate old Tram Smith sinking without saying anything.

This is… Precious.

“Certainly, did you say that speed is the main thing? If that’s the case, I’m sure I won’t be able to find a weapon better than this.”

“Is that so…?”

“It’s a very strange weapon. In the first place, a gauntlet usually adds performance for a heavy one-shot, but on the contrary, making it lightweight and adding a special function called long-range attack, even the creators are crazy.”

If I possessed a character with universal performance, it would be a weapon I wouldn’t even look at as garbage even though it had the [Vision] Setting attached.

But that part has worked as a benefit to me now, so let’s think that good is good.

“Child, as I said before, it’s a weapon that no one can handle. In the first place, the vision is all I’ve heard about in the past. I’ve never handled it properly.”

“However, other artisans can’t even touch it. I’d rather try at least…”

“I know that… You don’t understand me. I can’t believe there’s a guy who’s even more stubborn than me.”

There is no choice but to push through recklessly.

Even if it fails, it is a high-risk, high-return gamble with huge returns.

In a situation where you don’t know how much your stats will rise in the future, it’s worth trying.

“I’m sure you came here because you know, but I won’t take any risk of a failed enhancement.”

“Of course I know. It doesn’t matter. You can just do it.”

“I don’t know what kind of trick it is, but… Anyway, each case is a case, so I won’t accept the commission this time either.”

Oh.

What happened to that Donmisae?

“But… Can you handle it?”

“As I answered that question earlier…”

“No, not that. It’s just about money.”

“Yes?”

“A mana stone with a minimum mana content of high grade or higher, adamantium to be used to strengthen the gauntlet, silver mixed with mana for engraving, the devil house’s thread and angel camp’s fabric, an armor stone and…”

“Now, wait a minute.”

What now?

Are the ingredients I hear correct…?

No matter how much I listened to it, it seems that only the highest grade materials needed to strengthen the weapon pool of the minimum semi-final level are listed…?

“What if I am surprised by this? In the future, including the remaining ingredients, at least 2 billion. There is even a chance of failure, so the basic 5 billion will go in, kid.”

“5… 5 Billion…… No, no matter how arcane technology it is, the level of materials used is ridiculous…! This will be the first enhancement now.”

“First reinforcement? Child, there is no such thing as an arcane weapon. The limit of reinforcement is almost non-existent, but the amount of effort required is considerable. On the contrary, the cost of 5 billion won will feel ridiculous.”

No matter how much it is, 5 billion won.

It is not a figure that can be prepared right now.

f*ck if this is too much.

“How much money do you have on hand?”

“……Approximately 200 million…”

“…….”

“………”

It’s cold.

As the surrounding air turns chilly, a dagger pierces your chest.

But don’t worry… I can’t say that.

What should I do?

“It’s good to have a spirit… But without the prerequisites, it’s not even possible. Stop going out.”

“But…”

“Now, let’s calm down.”

My head was momentarily dizzy.

5 Billion, 5 billion.

Apparently, there seems to have been a route to get all the materials, but only very high-grade materials are required.

It wouldn’t have been a weapon that boasted that level of performance yet.

sh*t.

How do you… Do you have no way to raise money right now?

“You seem pretty excited, how about this? Let me sponsor most of the money.”

“…… Huh?”

“Hey, have you finally lost your head? Five billion. That’s the lowest I’ve ever called. You’re sponsoring that amount for a stranger you haven’t seen today?”

“Yes.”

“Are you really crazy?”

So.

I don’t know why either.

“Mr. Vandeum, you don’t have to go that far. Even so, 5 billion is too big a figure to accept as a simple favor.”

“Yeah, that guy says that too. Do you have a sense of how reckless you are about to do?”

“Don’t know. Don’t get too excited.”

The amount was too large to blindly accept it as a favor without reason.

When I receive that, I am so afraid of what will happen to it.

Judging from my situation so far, I’ve never had such a good result.

“Lee Yoo-ra… I’m not saying there isn’t any. I want to see that kid grow up… It’s not a lie, though.”

“What is that…”

“The biggest reason is you. The tram.”

“……”

“…….?”

Um……Uh…..

Huh?

Something strange is going on…

“Recently, I can see that I’m struggling a lot.”

“Well, what the hell does that have to do with accepting this request…”

“You, who did not budge no matter how much the guardians protested, have reached the point of being overshadowed. There must have been a change of heart.”

“……”

“However, that’s not what I want to see. I want to see the proud Tram Smith, who steadfastly creates masterpieces that can be counted in his hands despite so many criticisms.”

What can I say?

I think this is the moment I should definitely be moved.

“Now in front of you, there is a weapon that will open up new possibilities. Doesn’t the blacksmith’s soul boil?”

“…… It’s none of your business.”

“Uh huh. It’s like that again. Even if you look at it like this, I’m a friend of 30 years, I wonder if I don’t know that fact.”

“Really. Useless. Sound…”

“Close your eyes and ask me just this once. This is my friend’s request.”

Uh…

So…

Let’s be honest.

It’s f*cking cheesy.

What’s this, this freaking event?

It’s the opposite of how you were before.

Who the hell designed this story?

If that’s an event in the game that pops up when you enhance an arcane weapon, it’s easy to see why the category itself was deleted.

If you spread the game in that way, what kind of user will be impressed here.

To a blacksmith who smashes all kinds of weapons and NPCs he has never seen before.

“Haa….. Really, just this once. I’m only going to listen to that insistence once. It’s not because of you. It’s because I feel sorry for the kid who came all the way here.”

“hahahaha. Even though he said so.”

“Do it in moderation.”

Woo-wook.

Woowook.

Grown men in their 50s embrace and use that tone, so it’s too hard for me to watch.

Aside from being grateful, it has reached a level where you can’t see it unless you talk.

“There…… That……”

“Gee, that took too long.”

“Get out of the way now. Tsk. Hey. Hand over that weapon again.”

“Yes!”

“No. Put down everything you have now. Bring it to work.”

“….. Huh?”

They suddenly approached me and robbed me of course of course the gauntlet and all of the cadet protective equipment I was wearing.

Even my 200 million won.

What the hell is this…?

“At least they’re my clients, and they don’t save face wearing crap like this.”

“That’s… I can’t believe it?”

“In the meantime, I’ll even strengthen it in moderation. Of course, you’ll pay the cost, Vandeum?”

“Sure. Of course. Feel free to use it.”

Ah…

Ah.

Vandeum Is he a rookie?

“Really, thank you…!”

“It’s no big deal. In return, yes. Later, when you grow a little more, I’d like you to come to my forge.”

“I will definitely come back and repay you…!!!”

Thank you….

Overwhelming thanks…!

Arriving in this world, this is the first time I have received such a warm favor.

Even when you first possessed, life was bleak.

Barely survives between sudden incidents and suffocating battles.

The son of a professor is broken in the name of training because his personality is bursting.

All of a sudden, all kinds of sadness burst out, and tears almost leaked out.

Yes. I will definitely return this favor later.

Somehow he will grow up and become a strong enough guardian to put his name on the line.

Mr. Vandeum, thank you so much…..

Clink!

“……Eh.”

“…… Heh heh, this friend again.”

“…………..Yes?”

I think I heard something I shouldn’t have heard…

“Oops, my hand slipped. But luckily it’s the wrist area. At this level, I’ll find a replacement in no time…”

“Now. What are you doing?”

“Uh huh. Wait a minute. They’ll bring you something better. Don’t you believe me? I’m Tram Smith.”

Where did my gear go?

What is it, give me back my impressions.
