Aias: from a world of kaijus to a world of fantasy and magic

Chapter 29

After seeing Ned's party off, for the next month, I continued reading books that taught me or would be helpful to me on how to make magical tools, with Mila occasionally giving me lessons.

When I was running low on money, I went dungeon diving, each time going slightly further into the second stratum.

Of course, I fought the 10th-floor boss each time instead of using the bypass ring I had. I wonder what the 20th-floor boss would be like; it would be way more fun than the 10th-floor boss because the 20th-floor boss is a B-rank monster.

The reason I didn't just fight the 20th-floor boss is because I would run out of room to store more shards. Plus, by the time I ran out of room for magic shards, I would go back up to the surface; it would already be 4 to 5 in the morning. It's convenient since there wouldn't be a lot of people at the adventurer guild.

Right now, I am walking to Mila's bookstore because I have been drawing up a prototype for the last week or so.

At the bookstore, I knocked on the door, and Mila greeted me.

"How are you doing?"

Mila said it with much enthusiasm, as usual.

"Good."

She let me inside and went straight to her workshop. Then she asks me to give her the design I have drawn up.

I gave her a folded-up sheet of paper in my pocket for her to look at.

She examined it and said it was quite an interesting design."

The design was for one of my throwing knives that uses the electricity attribute.

When I was making the design, I eventually came to the problem with the runes that Mila made for the adventurer card; they did not have enough output to do much of anything.

To solve that problem, I brute-forced my way through it by adding more than one magic circle engraved onto the knife. However, when I told Mila about it, she told me that it would not fit into the throwing knife because there is a limit to how small she could make them, so I came up with another solution to the problem after a bit of thinking.

It was to make multiple magic circles specifically to absorb mana in the surroundings, then link them up to the actual magic circle that produces the electricity.

Additionally, the reason I chose the magic circle that uses the electricity attribute is because it would be the most cost-effective with mana to use in a fight. With the limited amount of mana being generated, other elements like fire or ice would mildly burn or freeze them, but they don't do much compared to giving them a shock of electricity, which would better fit my fighting style of using projectiles to make openings and disrupt attacks.

"Do you see any problems with it?"

"One actually, the six magic circles that would power the knife would burn out the magic circle that produces the electricity."

"I figure as much, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem."

"Okay, I'll start working on the prototype."

"Thank you for all your help."

"No problem."

Leaving Mila's store, I wonder what I am going to do today. I spent most of the morning finishing up my design for my throwing knife, so it's the afternoon right now.

Maybe I should go to the adventurer guild to see if there are any interesting quests on the quest board today—something that is different from the magic shard gathering quests I have been doing for the last month or so.
