Loop Mob – A Mob’s Interdimensional Travel Caught in a Loop

Chapter 44: Enchanting Named Items

Ordrishka Sensei and I were extremely excited as we proceeded to enchant them with Ether. Of course, the dragonfly wings came in piles, easily reaching tens of thousands. Each wing on its own was insignificant, but a quarter of a sack filled a considerable volume and weight.

We ran out of glass bottles to contain the Ether. While Ether doesn’t require a special container, it permeates anything, making storage less effective. Glass is somewhat better in that regard. We transformed about a quarter of the sack into Ether and then systematically applied enchantments to the available materials.

As a result, items like these:

– Iron Knife
→ Attack Power: 3, Weight: 2
– Leather Boots
→ Defense Power: 2, Weight: 1
– Cloak
→ Defense Power: 2, Weight: 2

Transformed into:

– Akiatsu’s Knife
→ Attack Power: 13, Weight: 0, *Set Bonus
– Akiatsu’s Boots
→ Defense Power: 12, Weight: 0, *Set Bonus
– Akiatsu’s Cloak
→ Defense Power: 12, Weight: 0, *Set Bonus
*Set Bonus
Adds Levitate to Akiatsu Series with 3 or more equipped items.

“Woah!”

Both of us couldn’t help but raise our voices at the explosive debut of the Named Series. The Wind attribute Ether created from 100% dragonfly wings, perhaps due to the absence of interference within the Ether, had a faster penetration than regular mixed Wind attribute Ether, blending well and absorbing more. The original material was an ordinary commodity, and dragonflies themselves were monsters from a beginner dungeon. Yet, simply generating Ether from a single type of magical creature material produced a special enchantment that granted a set bonus.

Levitate was one of the Wind attribute skills. By slightly floating the area around the feet, it could eliminate footstep sounds, enhancing the chances of avoiding encounters and surprise attacks. Additionally, many dungeon traps activate when stepped on or triggered at the feet. With this ability, not only could we avoid terrain damage, but we could also walk on water. Pure romance. Nothing but romance.

We promptly used dragonfly Ether on other items to mass-produce the Akiatsu Series. From the clothes we wore to hats, belts, and handkerchiefs. As a result, set bonuses were set at 5 and 7 items, making Levitate even more powerful. Eventually, at 10 items, it evolved into Flight. I Can Fly!

With my master and me giggling and laughing, we celebrated the successful experiment. I’m glad I came to Charlois. During the first week, I don’t know how many times I felt murderous intent towards Professor Kabaneru and Carol-san, who were flirting behind me. But I was called here for this reason.

Meanwhile, summer vacation is coming to an end. The day to return to Marol is approaching. During dinner, I consulted with the teacher, telling her that I had submitted my withdrawal notice to the school and wanted to move to Charlois.

“However, even if you say that…”

The teacher made a troubled expression, but

“If you settle in Charlois, we will welcome you with open arms. Clement, you’ll be getting married to Carol and leaving your teaching position, right? How about I assist you with that?”

The viscount offered a helping hand. He also said I could send a letter to my parents. Oh, these people are so kind. I’m sorry for repeatedly cursing them in my mind, wishing for their love life to explode.

After that, things progressed smoothly. First, I took an exam before the new semester and was allowed to graduate from the school through a skip-a-grade measure, which is unusual but recognized as a system. Although Professor Clement was concerned that I would lose my academic history, he was delighted that he could now invite me to Charlois without worry.

As for my family’s response, the letter from the viscount left them with no choice but to respond with a yes without questioning. However, with the connection to other noble families established, my father was pleased. He judged that it would be more profitable for me to remain in the trading company than to stay at home. Initially worried, my mother changed her stance when the handsome Professor Kabaneru, now in noble mode, came to greet us, and she did a complete 180. He’s quite the attractive teacher. As for my brother, he remains unchanged. He prefers it when I’m not around.

And so, starting from autumn, I officially became a resident of the Charlois territory. During the two months I was back home, my master’s workshop returned to its original state as a junkyard, but that’s a story for another time.
