Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

Chapter 1229: The Mysterious Witch Of The Blue Mountain

After sleeping for roughly three hours, I woke up with Aquarina, we took a bath together, and we enjoyed a very late breakfast with my family and friends. While eating, I talked about what I had done this morning, showing my sword and my shield to my family. Gasps of surprise came out of most of them. Apparently not even my mother nor my father expected me to have already reached such a high, refined level of blacksmithing and alchemy.

”Incredible, by merely looking at this sword, I can already tell it could become a Divine Treasure.” My father said. ”Can I hold it? It possesses such an attractive sheen to it!”

”Eh? Sure.” I handled Scarlet to my father, as he grasped her long handle and caressed her blade.

”Yeah, this is a good blade.” He nodded. ”The weight is on point, the sharpness is incredible, the longitude is perfect for a great sword. It doesnʼt have useless ornaments either. And I can sense that most of the jewels you embedded into it are hidden below the metal, isnʼt it? To be able to do such a thing, its usually an incredibly hard task.”

”Really?” I wondered.

”Yes, usually the metal would be at an incredibly hot temperature, the crystals would break.” My mother said. ”Most Blacksmiths embedded magic jewels once the weapon is already made, and they leave slots to adhere the jewel into them. But you not only fused them while the metal was being processed, you covered the jewels perfectly, leaving them safe from shattering.”

”A weakness that most people donʼt recognize with Magic Swords is that the magic jewels embedded into them can be targeted and shattered in a battle.” Shade said. ”This is why those swords you see that look fancy with many jewels, are very useless and prone to breaking. Unless you only use long-ranged magic sword techniques, I wouldnʼt recommend them to anybody.”

”A good blacksmith tries to hide the jewels well enough within the sword itself, or in areas that are much harder to reach, usually near the hilt, below it, and so on.” My mother said. ”A good blacksmith never places jewels in the blade itself! Unless, well, unless they do it like you did, amazing.”

”Hahaha, youʼre exaggerating a bit...” I giggled. ”Scarletʼs also really happy everyone is praising her!”

”Oh my, your father is touching me so much, Sylphy~ Ahh. His rough hands are so manly and strong... I want him to grab me and-”

”Dad, give me back the sword now.”

”Huh? Sure...”

I quickly grabbed Scarlet angrily, tightly grabbing her hilt and then pushing her into the ground, we were having breakfast in the garden.

”Eek! Why did you get angry? What did I say?!” Scarlet cried.

”A lot, you perverted sword!” Sapphire reprimanded her.

I never thought she would just say that I guess my father was touching her way too much, and he does indeed have very manly, rough hands. I guess swords find that attractive on a wielder? Compared to him, my hands are very delicate and small! But still, she sounded way too weird, so she gets grounded, quite literally, for now.

”Anyways, check the shield too! I made her extra, super tougher! She comes with a myriad of abilities too.” I showed Sapphire to everyone.

”Itʼs amazing, yeah!” Nepheline nodded, knocking the shield with her large hands. ”This shield could easily take on the strike of a Tier 10 Monster, no doubt.”

”I can sense a lot of protection magic runes in it.” My mother analyzed. ”Well done, Sylphy. But I canʼt help but think you took a while making these. Were you making them over several days?”

”Aahh, not really. I used the robotʼs smithy and took roughly four hours to make both...” I said.

”Eh?!” My mother gasped. ”You took only two hours per weapon? H-How is that possible? Wouldnʼt it take a while to smelt the metals and everything? And then embed the jewels, add the runic circuits, and so on!”

”Ah, well, I just did it quickly? I have continued to grow and evolve my Alchemy and Blacksmith Spells.” I said. ”Combined with all the Mana I got, I was able to continue without issues.”

And well, thanks to my Subclass Ability and my Skills, I could easily bend metals and materials to my will, mix them together with ease, and even more easily embed them with anything I wanted.

Although Scarlet and Sapphire were B++ Rank in their Status, that was the measure as Familiars/Spirits, but they would be definitely comparable to SS Rank Divine Relics.

”Sylphy always makes the best stuff.” Aquarina said. ”I wonder if itʼs even necessary for her to go to see the witch and learn from her... Maybe she can just come with me instead!” ”Hahaha! Oh dear, no, the Blue Witch is at least a thousand times better than Sylphy. She will easily break all common sense for her once she meets her and see her working.” My mother laughed. ”Ah, sorry, was that a bit mean? I didnʼt mean it like that...”

”No, itʼs fine. I guessed she would be better. Thereʼs no way I am already equally as good as her.” I nodded.

My Skills are only shortcuts, in terms of mastery, technique, and magic, the Blue Witch is much better. And to become a proper Blacksmith and Alchemist, I will need to learn how she does it without a System to help her.

”Sorry, but I still have to go.” I told Aquarina, patting her shoulders. ”Donʼt worry, it wonʼt take me hundreds of years to learn from her anyways.”

”Hmm, okay... I might have just said some nonsense there.” Aquarina sighed. ”But your equipment is so amazing already. I still have some of the stuff she gifted me, but when I compare the two, its obvious yours is better, right?”

”She made that equipment without much thought, they were little trinkets to help us when we were babies, Aquarina.” I told her. ”And even then, they carried the souls of the beings that those materials belonged to. It was thanks to these earrings that I was able to get Ignatius as a Spirit, so, even if they appear weak, their composition is much more complex than just a bunch of materials merged together like I do it...”

And I need to learn how she does that!
