‘detailed’

It means being very precise and meticulous, with no gaps or details.

elegance.

This truly simple ability is Edin’s talent.

When performing any action, an insane sense and control ability that allows you to accurately follow what you have learned without a single error.

The error is not at a small level; it simply does not exist.

It is truly an ability that can be called ultra-precise.

If you scoop something up and measure its weight.

It is pumped at exactly the same weight, without a difference of 1 mg.

Even when repeating movements, the movements are repeated perfectly identically without even slight differences in vibration.

A crazy talent that makes possible things that are almost impossible with the laws of physics.

If you look at a swordsmanship textbook, you can recreate it perfectly.

It is possible to execute the potion manufacturing method written in the alchemy book without a single error.

How was this ridiculous talent not noticed until now?

That was because of physical limitations.

Even if you learn swordsmanship, you need to have the physical ability to hold, position, and swing a sword.

In order to do it accurately without even a single error, you need much more strength than the average person.

Let’s say you have a 4-year-old genius who imitates everything he sees.

After showing the child the secret techniques of imperial swordsmanship, will he be able to imitate it?

No, it’s impossible.

It would be fortunate if I could carry the huge long swords used by knights.

That’s it.

Edin’s ultra-precise ability would be useless if it were not supported by the body.

In addition, transcendental concentration and mental strength are also important in order to demonstrate transcendent talent.

Although it is basically a talent that Edin already possesses, he still needs to spend time to concentrate.

Even alchemy techniques that did not require such great strength required the physical ability of a D-rank melee adventurer to perfectly perform them.

By naturally training his body, he reached that level and was able to demonstrate outstanding skills in alchemy.

What’s also funny about this is that basically, areas where you have talent don’t require much concentration.

It took quite a while for me to focus on areas where I was less talented.

So, when I was hanging out with Claude, it didn’t take much for me to concentrate because I was somewhat talented at alchemy, but gathering herbs took a while for me to concentrate.

But since they don’t give you time to collect them properly, you just dig them up and the quality is terrible.

As long as you have time to concentrate, the physical requirements have already been met.

Even when gathering materials, it is possible to show shocking precision similar to that of alchemy, and that is exactly what was shown in Greenback Forest.

‘I want to see it again, just one more time.’

Saella worshiped and longed for it, almost as if she were a religious person who had met some kind of god.

I would have given anything to be able to witness that talent even just once.

That’s why he was still following Edin with bated breath.

Larsen and the students headed to the village chief’s house to inform him of the current situation, while Edin came out separately to check the village’s general store.

‘I didn’t get the right ingredients… I should have made at least a few.’

Of course, there is still stock left.

Even if Edin doesn’t have to rush to make the potion, the amount is enough to sell to students for a few days.

However, Edin wanted to try out the equipment in the academy’s general store right away.

How good would it feel to make something like that?

I’m already looking forward to it.

So I left the village and came to a small meadow near the village.

To get some ingredients to make a potion.

Of course, the materials that can be obtained near already developed villages are only low-level materials that are commonly available.

Things like Krrish grass, or Ethereum ore stuck between stones scattered on the floor.

Even those exist sparsely because villagers take them and sell them in the city.

‘I have to dig it up quickly.’

Soon the conversation will end and it will be time for Larsen and the students to go.

Even so, it was a bit difficult for Edin to stay alone and dig up this and that, so he decided to just quickly gather until they came.

‘Still, I’m glad that their harvesting isn’t as rigorous as Clean Mush.’

If you concentrate properly, you can mine it without any damage.

This time I was able to dig it out quickly.

“Oooo─”

“???”

Edin suddenly hears what sounds like an animal roaring behind him and turns around.

But there is nothing there.

All you can see is a village and a meadow a little far away.

“…Is it because of my mood?”

Edin tilts his head and turns.

‘I screamed without realizing it. Ugh… I, the elf, made such a mistake.’

Saella is hiding behind a stone in the meadow and holding her breath.

He continued to watch and marvel at Edin’s miracles.

Of course, this time I didn’t make a mistake, just thought about it.

‘Unbelievable. Once you get to know it, it’s definitely different. Perfectly coordinated movements without any tremors. A technique that does not cause any damage…’

At that level, it really felt like if I planted it again in the ground, it would grow without even realizing it was cut.

‘You said you were an alchemist. If this is enough just for gathering ingredients… how much in alchemy…’

Saela’s address to Edin has suddenly changed to an honorific one.

He did not think that his talent was limited to gathering materials.

With that level of precision, he would definitely be very effective in alchemy, which requires delicate work!

‘Now that I see it, Teacher Lunalin and Chairman Mureos had a good eye for people.’

At first I thought he came in by parachute.

Looking at that, it was pure skill… No, in fact, it was no exaggeration to say that he was kidnapped by Lunarin and Mureos.

I was thinking like that while watching Edin.

“Hey, mister.”

“…Hmm?”

Three male students approach Edin.

Found Octo, Ens, and Tom.

‘What are these disgusting things? How dare you interfere with Edin while he is digging up the 8th Krish plant?’

Including obtaining other materials such as Clean Mush, it was a technique I had already seen over 30 times, but Edin’s technique, which gave me a new shock every time I saw it, was suddenly interrupted by an uninvited guest.

Saela felt uncomfortable at this.

But the three male students, who had no way of knowing that, continued to glare at Edin.

‘Did you come to pick me up?’

I think Larsen probably sent him to bring Edin.

The atmosphere feels a bit strange.

“You… I don’t know how you got into the academy. Don’t show off.”

“Yes, I am not a teacher but just an employee at a general store.”

“An employee cannot have evil intentions toward a student.”

“…?”

Edin tilted his head at Okto’s words, which seemed very hostile.

I don’t think I’ve done anything to make them feel hostile.

Plus, you have a dark heart.

What does that mean?

I thought it was strange, and then something suddenly occurred to me.

‘Ah… no way.’

Riley, who likes to learn from herself, so we talked a lot this time.

I remembered the bad expressions on those three people’s faces every time I was with her.

‘Now that I see it, rather than displeasing myself, it was because of Riley.’

I thought he just didn’t like me getting involved, but it seems that wasn’t the case.

All three of them seem to be interested in Riley, Edin thought.

‘You’re young.’

No matter how good Riley thinks of him, he is over 10 years older than him.

He’s just a general store guy who teaches you various magazine tips, nothing more, nothing less.

It’s just because he is a student who has a lot of interest in that field and is an excellent scholar.

Edin thought that it was not a feeling that would make them jealous.

Well… that was ultimately Edin’s personal judgment.

Anyway, the best way in this case is.

“Yes. Sorry, students. I’ll make sure to be careful. Are you finished talking with the village chief? Should we leave now?”

After roughly agreeing, ignoring is the answer.

You have to explain and make excuses anyway, but these guys only believe what they want to believe.

Even if you say absolutely not, it has already been decided that way in their heads.

Claude, Mary, and Sophia did that.

Therefore, Edin knew well that the most convenient way to deal with them was to ignore them.

“Uh, hey…!”

“Hey, man!”

It seemed like he accepted it surprisingly easily, but I felt strangely ignored.

Tom tried to grab him by the shoulder.

Edin naturally turns his body to avoid it.

Even though his main skill was an alchemist, there was no way he could have been grabbed by the shoulder by a rookie who had temporarily received a C rank.

“Hey, I’m leaving.”

“What should I do?”

In the end, the three were unable to do anything properly due to Edin’s quick acceptance and subsequent disregard.

“Hey, that’s enough. Leave it alone.”

At that time, Ens shook his head and said.

“There was no need for us to talk directly like this in the first place.”

I did it to look strong, but there is a much better way to fight a teacher.

“Sending that bastard to hell is not a problem anyway. No matter how good you are, you can’t overcome public opinion.”

It seems like they’re making some kind of evil and elaborate plan.

‘Oh~ really? ‘You’re going to do such a cheeky thing, right?’

Unfortunately, they had no idea that Saella was listening behind them.
