I Became the Academy's Disabled Student-Chapter 364: Note (3)

I wiggled my fingers.

The wiggling fingers tangled with the feathers of the sky. A translucent, snow-white cloth. It wasn’t a whole piece but rather a large chunk that had fallen off.

‘The special product should be based on this.’

The feathers of the sky.

When I obtained it, the grade was intermediate. The abilities included shape-shifting, self-repair, remote control, and protection based on the purity of magical power.

Now? The grade easily reaches the highest tier.

Before even considering the purity of my magic, my power, which has become nearly pure, has allowed it to soar, boosting its level significantly.

Receiving pure magic and growing with it, it was inevitable that the influence was felt. Now, even the feathers of the sky reflect the property of purity.

In other words, these feathers are also top-tier materials.

‘Artifacts are usually hard to use as materials...’

Artifacts are substances that are bound by their uniqueness. Using them as materials is an extremely difficult task.

What about artifact fragments?

Artifacts can break, and pieces can fall off, but fragments that have separated from their uniqueness are just dust.

‘I don’t intend to leave the uniqueness.’

I might be able to, but I don’t intend to. I grasped the chunk of feathers with both hands and began kneading it like clay.

‘The uniqueness of the feathers will be used as a material. I’ll incorporate shape-shifting and self-repair as permanent functions for the weapon.’

Bullshit. If you ask those deeply involved in crafting, that’s what they’d say.

Utter nonsense. Ridiculous talk. Impossible talk.

‘I can do it.’

My affinity for magic isn’t the kind of power that makes what’s possible easy, but the kind that makes the impossible possible.

The jack-of-all-trades is the same.

It’s a power that helps with rapid growth in any field. All the knowledge and perspectives I’ve learned and expanded upon have helped me turn the impossible into reality.

‘And the materials are good, too, right?’

The nature of my pure white magic is, if you had to classify it, pure.

It’s a color that can blend with any other and harmonize with the color it mixes with.

Pure magic can change into various properties.

It’s one of the reasons why the absurd ability of homogenization is possible.

At the opening ceremony of the creation ritual, the principal extracted a large amount of my magic and absorbed it into the Tower of Growth.

At the time, I didn’t know about the false testimony, but while observing the summoning of the 5th iteration at the Tower, I realized.

‘The 5th iteration was summoned using my magic as the material.’

The fact that it was Ihayul’s magic was key, but pure magic is an ultimate material in itself.

‘The 10th iteration was also summoned through blood containing my magic.’

Along with the fact that it was Ihayul’s blood, the blood containing my magic is also an excellent material, and the 10th iteration was summoned with the power of the artifact.

I shaped the feathers roughly into a ball. No, it was more like dough at this point. I gently pushed my magic into the dough.

The dough, having absorbed the magic, ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ hummed.

I massaged the glowing dough with both hands, manipulating the magic inside it to guide its form.

‘It was never impossible to begin with.’

The beacon sword. The fact that a weapon made simply by following a crafting method can match an artifact of the highest grade is already absurd.

But the beacon sword exists, and I’ve observed and felt several beacon swords firsthand.

The founding ancestor Hong Yeon’s beacon sword, placed at the main house of the Geobhwa clan.

The 14th generation head of Geobhwa, Hong Yeon-hwa’s grandfather, Hong Seong-jin’s beacon sword.

The 15th generation head of Geobhwa, Hong Yeon-hwa’s father, Hong Jin-seon’s beacon sword.

I’ve observed them three times, and I’ve even touched them. I even received the blueprint from the ancestor’s beacon sword.

‘I’ll take what’s useful and discard what’s not.’

What to take from them is their resonance with the inherent power. I’ll place Mount Taesan in the place of Geobhwa and modify the function to match it.

‘Homogenization, Taesan.’

Boom! My inherent power expanded greatly. I carefully mimicked the detailed inherent traits and changed step by step.

The inherent power that deals with earth and life and death.

The change was immediate.

I felt a sense of control as if I had merged with the earth. The physical abilities connected to the ground increased. The perception of the surrounding vitality soared.

The pure magic, now influenced by that inherent power, transformed into clay.

“Even though it’s right in front of me, I can’t sense the omen. It’s definitely a manifestation of Taesan right now...”

“....”

The imitation was complete.

It wasn’t exactly my inherent power, but it was still a part of Taesan’s inherent power. Before adding it into the dough, I first called upon another authority.

‘Authority manifestation, knowledge.’

Whoosh! A thick book that I had stored in my mind unfolded in the air. It was the ‘blueprint’ I had previously devised.

“Oh, there it is again.”

The book, fluttering like a butterfly, landed on the dough and dissolved into it in numerous lines and characters.

The dough shook. It was changing its shape according to the blueprint I’d provided.

I guided the change with my hands and magic, slowly pouring Taesan’s inherent power into the dough.

The dough, which was puffing up with bumps, gradually changed color. It became a color of earth, both bright and dark, like a pile of soil.

I took the materials that had a good compatibility with Lee Ji-yeon and her blood from the subspace, mixing them into the dough.

An unexpected variable from the blueprint stage. I observed it before the problem occurred.

The feathers of the sky. I sharpened the ends of the several strands and coated them with magic. I fixed the variable on the spot.

“...Did Ji-yeon unni ever make a weapon like this?”

“...I don’t think so, as far as I know...”

What should have taken several months was completed in an instant.

The work, progressing as if time had been compressed, caused the onlookers to stare in astonishment.

[Done.]

“Already...?”

Lee Ji-yeon, who had been blankly watching my work, suddenly trembled. She blinked and checked the time on her smartwatch.

“It’s only been 30 minutes...”

[This is just the basic work. The rest is for you, Senior Ji-yeon, to slowly engrave.]

I shook my head and handed the dough to her. Lee Ji-yeon’s expression became strange.

“...Is this a weapon?”

The earth-colored dough. It resembled the shape of slime.

[Yes.]

[Please hold it and pour in your magic.]

Carefully receiving the dough, Lee Ji-yeon raised her magic. The clay-like substance oozed into the dough from her hands.

Wooong! The dough vibrated.

Lee Ji-yeon’s eyes widened. She was probably feeling the faint connection between the dough and her.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

[That’s how you engrave it. Now, you should be able to manipulate it with magic. Pour in your magic and imagine the desired shape.]

“The desired shape.”

Lee Ji-yeon, kneading the dough, tightened her grip. When her finger pressed into the dough, it elongated.

“Oh.”

A large blade attached to the end of a long handle. It was the shape of the axe she usually wielded.

“The shape-shifting is incredibly fast. It’ll be no problem changing it during combat.”

[Try using it.]

[It’s the training ground, so it doesn’t matter if the surroundings get damaged.]

At my words, Lee Ji-yeon stood up, mesmerized. She stepped back a little and gripped the handle tightly, pouring in her magic.

Crash! The green energy wrapping around the axe caused Lee Ji-yeon’s eyes to widen.

“This is...”

[Hehe.]

[It’s incredibly easy and solid, right?]

[It’s tailored to Senior Ji-yeon’s magic.]

Lee Ji-yeon, who had been absentmindedly caressing the handle, didn’t seem to be admiring my explanation. She was contemplating something else, her expression showing a different sense of awareness.

A pile of rocks shot up from the ground near Lee Ji-yeon.

Crash! The rocks transformed into dozens of spikes, stabbing all around. They didn’t stop there. The spikes changed direction one after another, stabbing at the surroundings.

“...The manipulation is much easier.”

Lee Ji-yeon, with her mouth open, stared at the rocks moving freely.

[That’s the function. It will also assist with life manipulation and commanding spirits.]

I wasn’t surprised. The auxiliary function of Taesan. It was as intended, and it had been implemented as such.

[It can also act as a mana storage.]

Lee Ji-yeon blinked and poured her magic into the axe. Her magic continued to seep into the axe.

That’s the function of the beacon sword, and it’s also a feature of purification. I had referenced the purification’s storage and release functions.

[By the way, vitality is included. You can take it out and use it whenever needed.]

“...What’s this.”

At my continuing explanation, Lee Ji-yeon’s expression became bewildered.

She continued to check the weapon’s functions in disbelief.

The range and speed of shape-shifting, the strength of the weapon itself, its capacity for magic and vitality. The auxiliary functions of Taesan...

The more she checked the functions, the more horror appeared on her face, and I couldn’t help but shrug my shoulders.

“Th-this is insane. You really made it...”

[?]

[Yes?]

But then, I overheard something I couldn’t ignore. I turned my head sharply, trying to suppress my quivering lips.

[Senior?]

[You said you believed me when I said I could make it.]

“Ah.”

Lee Ji-yeon, who had been confirming the weapon’s functions with disbelief, flinched and shook her shoulders. It wasn’t the response of someone who had believed in it.

That reaction made my cheeks puff up.

[.......]

“Oh, hahaha... Uh...”

An awkward laugh slipped from Lee Ji-yeon, and she relaxed her grip on the handle.

Swoosh... swoosh...

[.......]

...She did say it was a prototype, not a finished product. Lee Ji-yeon must have been confused.

Also, since I was going to make it again and discard it if there were problems...

[Hmph, I’ll believe you now.]

“Haha, thanks for believing.”

When my puffed cheeks subsided, Lee Ji-yeon finally let out a faint smile.

“Hahyo, does that mean you’ll make mine next time?”

At that moment, while Lee Ji-yeon was admiring the weapon in astonishment, Baek Ah-rin pressed my cheek with her finger.

I quickly checked the time on my smartwatch and observed the locations of the others.

[Hmm... no. Since I have some time, I’ll make it for you now.]

“It’s not urgent, so there’s no need to rush. You just made that one super fast, right?”

[It’s because I had time. Don’t worry.]

Baek Ah-rin’s weapon was also crafted using the same process as Lee Ji-yeon’s. She sat a bit further away, watching the work.

“Hmm?”

While the work continued smoothly, Baek Ah-rin tilted her head.

“That book... there’s a lot more coming out than Senior Ji-yeon’s weapon.”

[Ah, Changhae needs different functions.]

The books that had fallen scattered into the blue dough. I guided the information poured into the dough with my hands and magic.

Changhae needed different functions.

That wasn’t wrong.

‘There’s another reason though.’

Not Changhae, but Baek Ah-rin.

For emergency preparedness, Baek Ah-rin needed other functions.

The red book soaked into the blue dough.
