   I studied the tortle's technique and frowned. I tried replicating it and failed. . .I stopped counting after forty. FUCK! This is so frustrating! Those Otherworlders using their blessings and cheat skills to master everything with little to no difficulty is pissing me the hell off! . . .No, I need to find another way. A different way. My way.

   The enchantment the tortle casted was [Auto-Repair]: an enchantment used to automatically repair equipment with the mana in the atmosphere, stored with the item, or from the user's mana pool. The method used is what frustrates me. I don't understand the enchanting circle or these formulas. Which one is the construction and reaction formula!? And this-- WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!? Where is the parsing value and the source positioning it entails! AND THE LAYERS!? I need to read some books about all these magic materials. So far I've been doing my own thing and playing around with my current understanding, creating the spells I wanted. They either end up being successful, errors are made-- Some inefficiencies are bound to happen, okay? I'm not perfect! I let my ego get the best of me and I feel like an ass! I'm too prideful to ask the tortle for help. Sure, I asked the serpent blacksmith, Ferrentes, but it's between us and my mission isn't to save them but the tortles. It's be embarrassing if your savior was asking for your help. Think of my pride and honor, it's on the line here! Oh, I even forgot about the value of external resistance-- FUCK, I NEED HELP!

   No! I won't ask the tortles for help. I'll figure it out like I always do. Yeah, like I always do. . .

   Who the hell needs blessings when you're goddamn flawless like I am!? HAHAHAHAHAHA. . HAhaha. . .haha. . .heh. . . . This is going to be a long and soul crushing process isn't it?

   Enchantments aside, there's still the issue with teaching the Ferrentes the three spells they want. I'm gonna be honest, from the novels I read I thought those magical academy deals were overrated, but seeing how I'm struggling right now. . . Damn, this is tearing me apart! Focus on the task at hand Carlos! Ignore your insecurities and bottle up your anger! No, wait, that's not healthy.

   Damn it!

   This is getting me nowhere! I need to help the serpent blacksmith, and I need the [Blacksmith] and [Enchant] skill. I have no choice. . . [Multi-Tasking] initiate!

   Oh. . .God. . .so. . .tired! I lie on the ground on my belly and stare into space. I managed to acquire the [Blacksmith] skill and successfully teach the Ferrentes [1st Tier: Mana Fire]. [2nd Tier: Psychokinesis] and [4th Tier: Arcanic Arm] will be worked on later. As for the enchantments. . .nothing. Nada. Zilch. Heh, I'm gonna lose my mind! Ha! Damn it. . .

   As for what I'm gonna use my [Blacksmith] skill for. . . I realized one thing. This labyrinth is going to be a hellhole to venture in. A hellhole needs a hellish weapon to safely slip through the gap to make it to freedom!. . . . .That sounded weird didn't it?

   A weapon.

   I'm going to design and build a powerful set of weapons for my use only. I won't say much, but let's just say it'll blow your mind. I summoned some undead and ended their undead existence for the materials needed. I got plenty of magic jewels so I'm not too worried about that. I'll need some powerful metals. In the fantasy world they have mythril and orichalcum. Maybe those will suffice. I heard how there are elemental stones, mana concentrated and stored in a petrified elemental spirit. Well, that's one of the tall tales I've heard from the tortles at least. A couple of those would be great too. I already have Meat's and Green's minions on the move along with recently obtained slaves with knowledge of such materials. Yes, I'm gonna create such powerful weapons~
