Magi Craft Meister Chapter 290

Although 5 . 5 nickel steel is very tough, it is not quite suited for blades .

This is because of the excess nickel which leaves quite a bit of austenite and therefore reduces the hardness .

And as such, Jin started by separating the nickel from the remaining ingots . It takes two times the effort but he still has to do it .

“'Extraction': nickel . ”

Out of the 1 . 79 tons of 5 . 5 nickel steel, 98 kgs of nickel was separated . The remaining pure carbon steel was more than enough to make 100 swords .

“Okay then, Elsa . How about practicing 'separation'?”

Jin told Elsa to come closer . And then he began explaining .

“Listen well, Elsa . The trick to 'separation' is to properly grasp the amount . And you do that by feeling the weight . 1 gram each so for 10, 10 grams . For 100, 100 grams . It's just a repetition of that . ”

“Hmm, I do understand the logic behind it . ”

“The vital point is to grasp how much makes 1 gram . Start from there . ”

By explaining the things he does solely based on his instinct alone, his understanding of the concept also deepened . And at the same time, he also realized how extremely similar his predecessor's thinking was to the current Earth's science .

Of course, not all of it . Just the parts about visualizing things digitally and handling materials all the way down to the atoms .

Moreover, it took him quite a while to realize but, the joints on the golems are really similar to the humans and one wouldn't be able to think so far if they hadn't known anatomy .

(My predecessor might have also been summoned . . )

Jin was thinking of such a thing, but there weren't anyone present who could possibly have an answer for him .

“'Separation'”

Jin shifted his attention to Elsa . She was using 'separation' with her utmost effort and was trying to separate 1 gram .

“Looks like you're able to use separation without problems now . All that's left is to perceive the 1 gram . ”

They say a skilled artisan can check the level surface with just their palms .

Of course, magi craft meisters also possess that skill but even without that, humans' eye measurement is surprisingly good .

A skilled carpenter can even tell apart boards with thickness of 3 and 4 millimeters and an experienced driver can also tell the difference in the tire's air pressure .

In short, depending on how much you are used to it, you can reach a certain level . The higher that level, the closer they can get to magi craft meisters .

“'Separation'… how was it this time?”

After doing it for a few dozen times, Elsa was getting much better at it .

“Yep, it's pretty good . Now then, let's try taking out 2 . 2 kgs this time . Reiko, handle the adjustments . ”

“Yes, father… Elssan, let's do it . ”

“Hmm . ”

And so, Reiko inspected the parts Elsa separated and did the more minute adjustments to the amount .

At first, she was making it too big or too small but after doing about 30 times, the difference gradually kept decreasing .

“Hmm, Elsdono is quite amazing as well . ”

Said Gloria,impressed with Elsa's growth . She too didn't know any normal magi craftsman and so didn't comprehend how extraordinary this was .

Princess Lieschen was deeply interested in magi crafts and was eagerly watching .

Hanna too liked to see Jin work and so was watching quietly but as one would expect, seeing them make 2 . 2 kilo portions over and over again did seem to make her lose interest .

Jin could tell that and so took the 70 portions which were done and began to make the swords .

“'Forming' . ”

The clump of steel gave off a faint light and started changing form in the blink of an eye . And soon took the form of a sword . Time elapsed to make one: 5 seconds . But even then, Jin was holding back . If he had gone all out, he could have finished it in a second .

“Ohhh, amazing! Jin-dono, is it okay if I take a look at it?!”

Gloria couldn't stay quiet . Jin smiled and handed over the sword .

“I haven't yet attached the patterns, though . ”

Taking the sword, Gloria walked a bit further from everyone and tried swinging a little .

“Yep, this is great! I don't really use long swords much but this is really easy to use . ”

“Really? I tried taking the sample sword and Heintz-san's sword as reference . ”

Hearing that, Gloria couldn't help but be surprised . And at the same time, the princess also raised her voice,

“What?! You understood the details of the sword in such a short period of time?!”

“What?! Heintz-dono's sword is unsigned but is quite sharp!”

Although the points they were surprised about were different .

“Well, it's a relief if it turned out good . ”

Saying that, he went back to work . Elsa and Reiko were done making the last portions .

“'Forming' . 'Forming' . 'Forming' . ”

He kept finishing swords . And within 15 minutes, he was done making a 100 .

“Th-that's fast…”

Both Gloria and the princess watched with their eyes wide open .

“All that's left is the tempering, I guess . ”

Mumbling that, Jin started explaining to Elsa again .

“'Heat treatment' . 'Shaving' . 'Finishing' . 'Hardening' . ”

Seeing Jin do 10 swords like that at once, the ones watching were lost for words . It took him about 30 seconds to do the sequence and about 5 minutes to finish doing 100 swords .

“Now, I just need to do the sheathe, the guards and the pattern . Elsa can do this too . ”

“'Tsuba'?” (The pronunciation for 'guard on swords' in Japanese . )

“Ah, it's 'guard' . ”

“Ah if that's it then I got it . ”

And so Jin prepared the materials and the leather he would use for the guard and the hardwood for the pattern .

He asked Elsa to do the brass on the guard .

He made a sample and told her to make it like that .

“I will do the minute tuning so go all out . ”

“Mm, got it . ”

Elsa separated the brass needed for the guard from the brass clump . Watching her work, Jin was impressed by how much she grew in this short period of time .

Moreover, after seeing her also make the forms with 'forming', he was assured that he could leave it to her and went on to work on the sheathe and pattern .

Reiko was in charge of gathering the materials and Jin was processing them .

And in the blink of an eye, the sheathes and patterns were being done .

“Waah, cool!”

Even Hanna looked happy watching this . This was also done within 10 minutes . Elsa was done with about 20 at that point .

“Sorry for being so slow . ”

She was apologizing with a sorry face but it's just that Jin was too absurdly fast and that she was actually also quite fast to be working with him . It's a tragedy everyone with very capable siblings go through .

Jin installed the guards into the swords and planted the patterns and finished it up with some more minute adjustments . If they just add the sheathe now, the sword would be complete .

For what it matters, Jin used 'soft tracing' to change the sheathes color little by little .

Every 10 swords, the swords went from close to white tea color to dark tea color . It was a gradation of tea color .

“Hmm, it looks quite pretty . ”

Gloria was also admiring it . Prince Lieschen and Hanna were both gazing at it . Looks like they aren't bored .

After using all the guards Elsa had made, Jin also started helping her out in making guards .

And 100 swords were done a little after 2 30 pm .

“This makes the whole set complete . ”

“Got to see some really nice stuff today . ”

Sword maniac Gloria was also satisfied .

“Alright, now all that's left is to hand it over to the minister… hey, you over there, go call the minister . Tell him that Jin has completed the order . ”

Princess Lieschen told a guard who just happened to pass the workshop at that moment to go call the prime minister .

On the inside, Jin was a bit worried thinking 'can the prime minister be called out that easily?' but that ended being needless worries .

The minister literally came flying .

“J-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-jin-donoo, it is completeeeeeeeeeedd?!!”

Then came the accompanying guard, amazed at how fast the minister came rushing .

“Hoho, so even Powell makes that kind of a face, huh?”

Princess Lieschen was having fun seeing the usual stern looking minister panic like that .

“Haa, haa, haa……”

Having ran all the way to the workshop with all his strength, the minister was now wiping off sweat and breathing heavily .

“You don't need to hurry that much, now do you?”

“Hohohohoho, did you really finish all 20 golems and 100 swords?!”

He came asking Jin .

“Yes, please have a look . ”

Jin pointed inside the workshop .

There stood 20 brilliantly shining grey golems with 5 swords in each of their hands .

“S-s-so, it is really true… . . ”

“Ah, yes, although it was from the middle, Gloria and I also watched . Certainly, Jin was the one who made all these . ”

For some reason, the princess being boastful .

At that moment, just when Jin thought that that marks the order as complete,

“As if the swords a magi craftsman made will be of any use in actual battle!”

Such a bothersome voice echoed throughout the workshop . Chapter 290 – 100 Swords. . . . Although 5 . 5 nickel steel is very tough, it is not quite suited for blades . This is because of the excess nickel which leaves quite a bit of austenite and therefore reduces the hardness . And as such, Jin started by separating the nickel from the remaining ingots .
