"You…"
Ka was speechless.
Having suchbat prowess at such a young age yet also having such insight as a Force Crafter… Was this supposed to be a practical joke?
Ka could be considered rare enough, having decent strength along with good skill as a Crafter. But, she was also much older than Leonel. Though she didn''t want to admit it, she was easily over double his age.
Well… Double what she estimated his age to be. If she knew Leonel was only 19, it would be much closer to triple than double.
Leonel raised his brows. Was it really so shocking? He understood that Crafters would be rare on Earth, but even if they were also rare here, running into one or two every so often shouldn''t be impossible. There was no need for such surprise.
Ka shook her head.
"You''re right, we are making grenades. Initially, as you said, we wanted to use the Polished ss stores we found for the sake of making sharp weapons.
"If we managed to seed, even if the finished products were only Tier 3, they''d be able to rival Tier 5 and 6 weapons in pure sharpness alone. They''d be hotmodities among the lower ss of Valiant Mountain and there would be more than a few elites interested in them too."
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
Leonel frowned.
Polished ss was a Tier 6 Ore. To use it to make Tier 3 weapons was a bit wasteful. He didn''t quite understand why they would do that.
If he thought about it more deeply, though, Ka likely nned on using an exceptionally small amount right on the edge of the de. This would indeed make a big difference in the sharpness of a weapon.
But, even then, Ka spoke as though she had no ns at all of making true Tier 6 weapons. If used properly, they could nearly rival Tier 7 weapons. That would truly make them a hotmodity and this endeavor would be far more worth it.
Of course, that was ignoring the idea of grenades which Leonel felt was an excellent pivot.
Seeing Leonel''s look, Ka put on a wronged expression.
"I know what you''re thinking…"
Leonel raised his brows.
"But Valiant Heart Mountain only has stingy people. If you came here hoping you could find a pathway to Tier 5, 6 or higher, this senior of yours will have to disappoint you.
"The elders hoard everything, even from their disciples. I used to be under the tutge of the best Crafter Valiant Heart has to offer, Tier 9 ck Crafter, Jac Bein. But after realizing that that old fogie only want to work me to the bone while giving me nothing in return, I left."
Ka sighed as she ''broke'' the news to Leonel.
She had correctly guessed that Leonel''s weird expression was about her not being able toplete Tier 6 Crafts. But, what she incorrectly guessed was that Leonel was also unable to.
"Because of that bastard, I can only Craft up to Tier 5 on an excellent day, and that''s despite the fact I already have the skill toplete Tier 7 Crafts. Even if I have all the materials, I just don''t have the knowledge of Force Arts necessary to bind them properly."
Theb entered a somewhat depressing state.
''Oh? So that''s the limitation…?''
Leonel grasped a bit of what was going on.
He agreed with Ka''s assessment of herself. Her hand speed and control was indeed at the Grade Two Designation. Though it was a far cry from Leonel''s own Superior Grade One Designation, it was still good enough.
Speaking of which, Leonel had long since begun on his Bronze hand exercises, so he had actually already entered the Grade Three Designation and was approaching Advanced Grade Three Designation. So, technically, he was already beyond his previous Superior Grade One Designation for the ck Grade and could begin to work on Fifth Dimension Crafts.
Still, to put this matter into perspective, not all Bronze Crafters even reached Grade One Designation first. So, Ka was indeed not wrong when she said she had the skill toplete Tier 7 Crafts.
What did all this mean? It meant that Ka''s only real limitation was herck of understanding in high level Force Arts.
Leonel sighed. This was his first time finally understanding the scope of what he had in his hands.
Even a Bronze Organization like this one was hoarding knowledge Leonel might not even deem important enough to write on a piece of tissue paper.
The words of his grandfather couldn''t help bute back to his ears. Should he be handing over his things to those who were less privileged than he was…?
Leonel could only sigh again.
At that moment, he felt a light pat on his shoulder.
"There''s no need to feel so down." Ka said with a smile, trying tofort Leonel. "Those old bastards are just jealous of our youth. Once they croak, it''s not like they can take their knowledge with them. By then, we can just rob their graves."
Hearing such words, Leonel could only burst into a fit ofughter.
This Ka was indeed quite an interesting character. She somewhat reminded him of Mordred.
''I wonder how Camelot is doing now…?'' Leonel thought somewhat absentmindedly before shaking his head.
Clearing his mind, Leonel suddenly pped, startling everyone in theb. By now, even a casual p from Leonel seemed to send swirling winds in every direction.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Are you trying to kill us all?!" Ka panicked.
Leonel grinned. "Hey Ka, I have some ideas. I wonder if you''re willing to take another gamble on me?"
Ka blinked, her beautiful eyes sparkling somewhat.
For some reason, whenever Leonel entered such a state, just his aura alone seemed to make everyone gravitate toward him. The confidence he exuded bordered on intoxicating.
Ka looked around at the others, only to find that they were curiously observing Leonel too. It seemed that they had been caught up in it all as well. In the blink of an eye, the depressing atmosphere had vanished with the wind, the entire room orbiting around Leonel''s bright smile.
"Alright freshman, what ideas do you have?"
Leonel''s eyes sparkled.. Since Valiant Heart wanted to hoard high level Force Arts, he would just have to show them how powerful low level Force Arts could be.
