“Eh? So Haedecker-sama is special even in the magic department?”

Might-senpai is getting excited with Marco.

“Well, there’s no doubt that he’s beyond our common sense. It’s beyond our understanding.”

That’s harsh, Marco, my magic is still developing.

“Well, it was strange when you blew away Big Davis.”

Hey, Feruppo. That couldn’t be helped.

“I’ve been targeted by the magic that melted Little Davis so many times, I can’t count how many times I’ve prayed to God. . .”

Hey, hey, Alex, that couldn’t be helped because my meat was getting cold.

🩴

The group that was harshly talking about others got excited and dispersed.

“Don’t be late to the meeting place tomorrow!!”

We parted with Alex’s energetic voice.

I heard that Marca and Emily are going shopping in the royal capital in the afternoon, so I assigned Vesta as their escort.

I’ve given them some pocket money, so I hope they have fun.

🩴

I went straight back to the dormitory.

I borrowed the workshop in the dormitory and worked on steelmaking.

This place has both a water place and a workbench, so the work should proceed smoothly.

It’s easy to do the tempering process when the equipment is complete.

Brothers, tools are the best. 

🩴

I turned ten swords into steel.

With these and the previous swords, it will be quite a lot of money.

But I can’t sell them together because they are traceable.

It would be strange to the shop if ten swords were remade in a few days.

That old man would definitely notice.

It would be better to sell them in several times.

Damn, I can’t make a fortune for all the trouble.

🩴

I take out the magic ink I got from Might-senpai.

I probably drop a few drops on a small dish for painting.

I try to search, but fail.

Why is that?

I squeeze my magic power and try to search.

Again, I failed, when I increased my magic power to a certain point, the ink burned in an instant.

Scary, does this ink ignite? Is it flammable?

I drop a little more on the small dish.

I mix water from the water pitcher to dilute it.

I stir it, but it separates from the water.

Yeah, this ink is oil-based.

Since it’s called ink, there must be some use for it. . .

Ah, is this what scrolls are written with?

I take out the scroll I copied onto paper.

This won’t activate.

I look around the workshop.

There is an old sheet rolled up.

It’s probably cut up and processed into rags.

In the nearby scrap material storage area, there are pieces of wood and copper plate scraps.

They are offcuts of copper tile repair materials.

There is also a roller in the workshop for stretching copper plates.

Well, it’s garbage, so it’s okay to use it.

It’s neatly cleaned up, so maybe a scrap dealer comes to collect it.

I cut the sheet to about A4 size.

I soak the magic ink into a piece of wood and copy it.

It was completed in about 30 minutes.

We did it!! The scroll is complete.

If I mass-produce this. . . Honestly, there are too many characters, it’s a hassle.

I have to think of a way to make a lot of copies. . .

I process the copper scraps into a copper plate with magic.

It’s a little smaller than A4, I didn’t have enough material.

There was also a chemical for washing tile oil, so I used it without permission.

I align the scroll I wrote earlier with the copper plate from which I removed the grease.

I sandwich it with a wooden board.

I firmly fix it with the clamp in the workshop.

“Hmph!!”

When I pass a large amount of magic power, the ink of the scroll burns.

Oh, no, it’s a fire.

I throw the smoldering sandwich into a bucket of water.

When the fire goes out and I take out the copper plate. . . 

I made a copper plate with the characters transferred.

I also scratch it with the tip of a nail I picked up.

Yeah, it looks good. I can also correct the rubbed parts.

I drop the ink and wipe off the excess ink.

I adjust the height position of the rolling roller with the cut sheet and roll it.

I peel off the sheet. We did it!! It’s complete!!

Mass production with copper plate printing!!

Oops. This part is rubbed.

Scratch, scratch.

I correct it and set it on the roller.

“Hehehe, when this technique is established, I’ll be a rich man in scroll heaven. . .”

I’ll be rich just by turning the rotary press.

It’s like printing money!!

No, there’s a lot of waste ink.

I have to make ink cheaply. . .

I have no choice but to master real alchemy with alchemy.

I made about 45 scrolls of storage magic.
