Overgeared

There was a mountain of work to do. He hadn’t known when Sariel would go berserk, so he rushed through the hell expedition and neglected blacksmithing.

“Sigh.”

It had been two weeks since he was stuck in the smithy. Grid temporarily suspended the production of the Backbone Sword and focused on what could be handled in the short term. He took care of the commission of the members and created or modified items for the messengers. It was a necessary procedure to compensate for their strengths and weaknesses identified in hell.

The Backbone Sword... it wasn’t something that could be made in a few days. Due to the nature of the bone material, the work had to be done as carefully as possible. Metal required being melted in heat several times to harden, then melted again and hardened while being tempered thousands to tens of thousands of times. However, the difficulty was very high because bones burned rather than melted. It was impossible to smelt and temper bones unless their craftsman blacksmithing technique was at master level.

“It seems like it is almost all done.”

He worked hard for half a month. The members’ requests were completed and the messengers’ items were neatly maintained. Grid was about to start production of the Backbone Sword when he suddenly felt uneasy. He didn’t remember making Jishuka’s item? Grid belatedly realized and reviewed the list of commissions but he didn’t find Jishuka’s request on it.

‘Did she not make a request because she was too uncomfortable...?’

Jishuka refused to become Povia’s Successor and started to walk her own archery path. Then she grew explosively, unlike people’s concerns. It wasn’t even unexpected that she won two gold medals in this year’s National Competition. The arrows fired by the Bow Saint were endless and there were many different types of sniping. Thus, no high ranker could respond to her attacks. Eventually, Jishuka returned with the gold medal rewards and placed them in the guild warehouse, but she didn’t leave a request to make something from the rewards. It was noticeable that she was avoiding anything related to Grid.

Grid was bound to be agitated. He was anxious that he would lose her as a colleague. ‘If Jishuka disappears, then I...’

Jishuka was one of the ‘origins’ of Grid. Without the trust and support of Jishuka and the Tzedakah Guild, Grid would’ve lived a completely different life. He could’ve become a second Agnus. The reason Grid loathed Agnus was because he read the potential for himself to be the same as Agnus.

‘...It must be sad and painful..’

Grid was depressed when he thought about the possibility of Jishuka leaving. Just imagining the sense of loss he had never experienced before sent a frightening chill down his spine.

‘First... I will make a new item for you.’

Currently, Jishuka’s armament was the same as Faker’s. He understood, analyzed, and improved Kruger’s pants that were given to Faker in the past and completed a Grid’s cloth armor set. In fact, Grid’s cloth armor set was barely an upgraded version of Kruger’s pants. The performance was better, but it was a result of using ‘enhanced materials’ that increased the ‘conditions of use.’ Grid’s tailoring technique couldn’t even touch Kruger’s toes just yet.

‘Still, there is a good chance this will be an old story.

Due to Dantalion’s Damaged Book, Grid’s Tailoring skill had been upgraded to advanced level 8. He would reach the advanced master level in one year minimum and two years at the most. The rewards gained at that time would be six levels and the opening of the Craftsman Tailoring skill. Then it would be a complete fusion of blacksmithing and tailoring techniques...

Considering that Grid’s blacksmithing technique reached beyond legendary to the myth level after he used Open Potential, Grid’s tailoring technique might only be craftsman level, but it was more likely to display a legendary performance.
