Not Sure, Another World Reincarnation

Chapter 78: Laughing is offensive by nature

To be honest, I was making light of Ricos talent. So this was the real genius, huh? A naturally genius girl was really different from a fake product like me.

After teaching her two times since then, the level of her [Mana Sense] and [Mana Control] went up in no time.

Furthermore, she had successfully learned non-attribute magic. Plus it had risen to level three in no time. Wasnt she growing faster than me?

By the way, her growth rate was insane since she spent as much time practicing it during the magic lesson after the literature and arithmetic class. A genius brimming with motivation was really amazing.

In addition, Triela had shifted to a slower direction. Yeah, its pointless to compare herself to Rico. Do it in moderation; slow and steady is the best option~

Now lets return to the main subject.

I didnt want to neglect my training because I had been teaching and taking care of other people recently. In a day or two, I train my smithing with all of my might. I wanted to reach level six of [Blacksmith] soon, really.

Thats why I focused on making swords and took my established break in the courtyard just before noon. Oh, Triela and Rico werent coming today. In fact, more often than not, I spent most of my time lazing around in the courtyard more than chatting and teaching.

By the way, I was chatting with the leatherworker, Delia, today. While drinking shaved ice with salt and lemon juice. The salt was important! It was summer after all.

Ahh. Its still hot. Well, its August. Right Master and the others have to stay confined in the smithy, so its probably hell for them Ah, thats the same for Ren. I can make ice on my own, so I think my situation is a little better. Ah, youre right.

As so, we idly chatted, but then it seemed like the younger son came here from the smithy. Ah, calling him the younger son gave off a bad feeling, isnt it?

Tsk.

Ohh, he immediately clicked his tongue after he noticed me. He really gave off a bad feeling.

Hey, Ed! Stop it already, cant you!? Hah!? It doesnt have anything to do with Delia, right? Theres no way it has nothing to do with me!

Oh my, Delia seemed to be on my side. Great, do it more~

You dont seem to understand, but because of your attitude, the neighbors workshop had been saying a lot of things about our master, you know?

I heard that the neighbors workshop had been treating me as a young yet skillful customer. Actually, rather than a customer, I paid them to use the smithy, but they wouldnt know unless the craftsmen or the master talked about it.

And then, not only that the master praised my skill, but the craftsmen here also did that and it raised their motivation to improve. Yet in the midst of it, the regular tradesmen and neighbors saw that only the masters son took an unreasonable attitude towards me.

As a result of that, a few people started saying that the master lacked leadership qualities since the master became a craftsman in his own place and couldnt even discipline and lead his own son.

Even master has scolded you many times. Are you actually stupid? But thats my own actions. Im telling you that the others wont perceive it that way! Youre really stupid! How about dying now?

Ohh, telling him to die is a bit too much well, I strongly agree with her, though!

Ill say this as well, but if you keep acting like this, I will tell the master to drive you out. Also, thats the consensus of everybodys opinion. Naturally, the landlady and Al also have the same opinion. What!? Big brother and Madam too? Thats the proof that your attitude has gone too far. Its this guys fault!

Oh my, now he was glaring at me.

Okay, thats no good. Youre already hopeless. Ill go to the masters place now. W-wait! I wont wait~ No, wait! I I know what youre saying! But I cant accept something I cant understand! But at least you dont have to act like that! You stupid!

Ah Seems like theres no way to deal with him anymore.

But from what hes saying, he had a reason for acting like that, huh? I didnt think I was responsible, but hm. Even if he understood, he was not convinced. Even if he saw the difference in our ability, he didnt sense it. Thats why his heart became heavy at once.

Er, Ed Edward?

What was his name again? He shouldve introduced himself, but I couldnt remember the names of annoying guys.

What? Please bring your hammer and come to my smithy. I will forge the sword from now on, so pay attention to me. Hah!? Why would I do that Noisy, shut up. Just listen to me and bring your hammer fast.

Could he stop making me irritated? Because of that, I carelessly roughen my manner of speaking with a smile~

He became silent and went to get his hammer. Do that from the beginning, really.

Ren, youre scary when youre angry. Is that so?1

I only grinned since laughing would be offensive by nature.

With that, I returned to the smithy I rented. Well now, its Sparta. Ill become Spartan. Lets go without holding anything back~

The sword well forge from now on is the same one as this. Please take it and have a look.

I held out the finished sword that I set against the wall. Just take it already. Hurry, hurry!

Why am I doing this

Dont grumble like that, how irritating Listen to me and be quick!

Right, we will forge the same sword now. It has to be exactly the same. I understand that even if you dont say it again and again.

I said it because you definitely didnt understand.

Then well start. Yeah

After saying that, I started forging the sword, but this guy was useless, he really didnt understand at all!

Why are you using your hammer first there! What? The finished product has that length, so I have to stretch it here, right!? If you make that part too thin now, itll become even thinner when you hammer it after that and the strength will decrease. You cant even tell that much? What!?

The sword has a low quality because youre forging it carelessly and tried to varnish over the mistake on the way. Are you forging it after thinking about the process until it reaches the final form?

Thats Your hands are stopping! What are you doing!? !

As a result of our exchange, a completely rubbish sword was completed.

For some reason, there was a slender one-handed sword with a long blade in front of us. He should be making a broad sword, but before us was a one-handed straight sword with a slightly wider blade, though. Its mysterious, isnt it?

Do you know why this happened? I told you to make the same thing as that sword, right? Its different from that, but isnt this one pretty good? Right, thats if we think of this as a slender sword. But the sword you tried to make this time is not this. Its that sword. Then this is a failure. Poor work. Garbage. You dont have to say that much. I saw the sword you forged before, but I thought the person who forged it was skillful. Skillful?

Why did he look a little happy? Was he stupid?

Ill say this first, but its not a compliment. Its the opposite. The opposite? Yes, the opposite. The master also said it. This wont sell. It seems like you also made the sword differently from the one you originally tried to make, just like this time.

He sure was silent. But thats good.

In the middle of forging, you irresponsibly hammered the metal and hammered it, again and again, to fix it after that just like what you did before. Am I wrong?

If you dont reflect on why you failed or what went wrong before forging a sword, your technique will never improve.

Well, I guess he also had a talent and skill to fix it into something in its own way. The people who had talent but didnt polish it should just die. I was jealous, ????!

But well, I did this because I was in the teacher mode these days! Usually, I would just insincerely cajole and break their heart until the end! But this time, I even taught him practical skills properly. Im kind, you see?

After that, as a result of my endless unpleasant talk, Edwards eyes looked dead as a fish. It seemed like his heart also broke in the end. I guess I overdid it. Lets reflect on that~

And because I spent too much time in teaching him, I ate my lunch alone because I was a little late. Damn, Edward! ???? you!

Eh? Youre wondering why I wasnt having lunch with Ed? That guy was sitting on a bench in a courtyard and muttered something for a long time, so he didnt eat at all. I didnt know what happened to him after that.

After eating my late lunch, I trained my blacksmithing again until night. Hmm, I felt like my speed in forging increased again Well, it wasnt a problem, so its fine, isnt it?

Aside from that, I missed my daily routine. I had to think about some countermeasures I went to bed and dozed off while thinking about various things. Good night

Fwahh

And the next day, I went to the dining room while stifling a yawn

Good morning, teacher! Ah!?

Teacher!? Who is that!? Rather, who said that?

Teacher, I have snapped out of it! Just how stupid I have been! From now on, I will hone my skills and aim to be a great blacksmith like you, teacher! Ah, yes.

Ahh, er D-do your best? Eh? Who is this? Edward? Seriously?

After that, I didnt really understand but Edward had allayed his emotions and corrected his conduct. Even so, he kept following me, making my mood extremely sour during breakfast. Master thoughtlessly hit my back to thank me and gave another mithril ingot as a token of gratitude. Even the older brother wanted to forge swords with me but I rejected him I didnt get it, but it was a tiring day.

After all, doing things on a whim was no good. I had to keep doing as usual to have peaceful days. However, I didnt think the improvement of Edwards attitude was bad.

Well, the direction of my annoyance had changed, but it was better than making me angry, right? Hmm?

On that night, when I laid down in my bed while feeling mentally tired, I checked my status and noticed that the [Blacksmith] had reached level seven.

Apparently, I had accumulated enough experience points? However, the experience to go to level seven wasnt the same with the experience required to become level six. In this case, it was probably the experience of teaching people, I guess?

This was probably what called an unexpected lucky break. But with this, I could finally make a magic sword. Oh, I also wanted to make katana. It was a novel weapon. I learned the sword-drawing techniques during my junior high school days because of my severe chuuni at that time. If I could make use of it, my untrained melee combat abilities might be a little better.

With that in mind, Edwards case might not have been so bad.

Then the next day.

Good morning, teacher!

I took it all back. This was really annoying.
