99 Episode 99: The Different Sharp Flavor

"Good morning, gentlemen."

The next morning, we were at the Adventurer Alliance demolition site to continue the demolition class.

"Today I'm going to have yesterday followed by the dismantling of the Green Dragon. And from today's course, we will have the dragon material dismantled using the dismantling knife on the dismantling table."

Everyone's gaze is drawn to the knife placed on the dismantling platform by their side.

"You're gonna use this? That's a lot lighter."

The demolishers with the knife in their hands raise their surprise at its lightness.

"And it's thin. Are you sure you can disassemble a dragon with a knife like this?

The demolishers, suspiciously holding the knife, stick the knife in the skin of the green dragon.

Then...

"Whoa!? What the hell!? The knife stabbed you without any resistance!?"

"You say stabbing, or it's like sinking into a stew. It's useless!?"

An unexpected knife cleavage surrounds the dismantling ground with a voice of confusion.

"This is why you and Mr. Lune had different cuts in the skin of the disintegrated dragon yesterday."

"" "" "This is it!?" "

"Dude, what the hell does that mean!? Are you going to tell me that the knife that lady over there had was better cut than our demolition knife or something?

and points to Mr. Lune, whose demolisher is demolishing elsewhere.

"Yes, you're right. The difference between the cuts on the skin of the dragon that Mr. Lune and you dismantled was simply caused by the difference in tools."

"Huh? Seriously!?"

He never thought the line he joked about was the right one, and the dismantler gives him a surprise look.

"Mr. Lune, could you come for a moment?"

"Huh? Oh, yes!

I'll have Mr. Lune and the demolisher near me come. [M]

"Can you lend me the knife that you two broke up the skin of the dragon yesterday?

"Huh? Yes"

"Oh, wow."

When I receive the knife they used to dismantle me, I cut off the green dragon skin placed on the table.

And everyone stares at the sight.

"" "" "Is this...!?" ""

"The cuts cut with your lady's knife are beautiful there, but the cuts cut with Mock's guy's knife are worn out"

"Are you sure it's the difference between what you get?

I look at the cuts on the green dragon skin, and the demolishers look at this one in confusion.

"As you can see, I could confirm that Mr. Lune's knife had better sharpness. The smoothness of the incision is simply the difference between the blades, since this time I cut it unconstructively without looking into the skin's eyes"

"Are you serious..."

The demonstrators glance at Mr. Lune's knife with indignation.

"But we're real demolishers!? Because the quality of the tools is somewhat good, does that make a difference in the incision?!?"

Yeah, if it's a tool that sure doesn't make a big difference, it doesn't make that much difference.

How easy it would be to blow away the advantages of the tools with the forged technology of the Ningro demolishers.

But...

"Mr. Lune's knife is made with quite a few techniques above, both materials and fabrication, compared to the dismantling knife you use. That's the difference between a stone knife and a Mithril knife."

"" "" So much!? ""

The demonstrators raise their voices of surprise and look at Mr. Lune.

"Oh, well... I'm sure my knife is a family heirloom from my ancestors, but can you tell just by looking at it?

and Mr. Lune asks with a surprised face.

"Yeah, you'll know as soon as you see the blade. This knife is full of... No, it's a personal secret around here, so it's not a good idea for me to talk on my own, is it? Anyway, it's better than your demolition knife."

Yeah, it's not like it's a particularly awesome material, but it would still be rude to tell Bella about someone else's belongings.

"Shh, wow, what an appraisal eye you knew so much from just looking... I knew you were... ha!?"

And Mr. Leune, who almost said something, hurriedly shuts his mouth.

"What's wrong, Mr. Lune?

"Yes, no, anything!

"Now, back to that, for those reasons, I decided that the reason why you didn't cut off the green dragon skin was simply the tool itself."

I take the same knife I gave everyone. [M]

"When it comes to tools, the materials used and the processing techniques are important. You can only do crude things with tools made of low quality materials and awkward technology. You can also compensate for that with technology, but if the quality of the material is low, there are limits to compensating with your arms. By analogy, no matter how beautifully sharpened a wooden knife is, you can't cut a chunk of iron."

"But if you're my brother, you're going to cut a wooden knife."

"Yeah, I can hang up."

"" "" "Are you going to cut it!?" ""

Gyro, when I answered your question, I ate the total scratch from everyone.

"Well, that's just using the moves to cut it, and you can't usually cut it with a wooden knife, can you?"

"No, I'm more concerned about talking about cutting iron chunks with a wooden knife."

"Me, too."

"Well, that has nothing to do with this course, so let's just put it away"

"" "" When they put it down, that bothers me!

Leave that voice alone, it's a continuation of the course now.

"It's pretty important to have the right tools. This is a serious story, and few people who believe in technology despise the quality of their tools. Because a lot of people unconditionally believe that they can do enough work with low-quality tools."

There's quite a few of them, aren't there, people like that?

Convenient tools are sweet - say something.

"But that's a big mistake. What matters is the balance between technology and tool quality. If only the tools are good, they swing at the tools, and if only the arms are good, the tools break without going about the arms. Even if it's either good, it can't be true."

Actually, there are places where I can't do all I can because of it, too.

I'm worried I might accidentally break it because I don't have the right material.

Well, a toughening effect with an extension of the physical strengthening magic will give you a lot of strength, so if you're about a Golden Dragon, you can fight enough with your current gear.

Oh yeah, I got the material for the corner golden dragon, so I guess I'll even make some new gear.

So put everyone's share together.

"Well, you know what I'm going to say. If you become a top adventurer, you will replace your equipment with nature to fight stronger enemies."

and the adventurers who participated in the demolition course speak out in agreement.

"Yeah, we have a lot of tools in place to deconstruct the materials we keep from our customers."

My parents agree with me again.

"Uh, thinking about it, it's like dismantling a dragon attacks a dragon that won't resist. Even if you don't resist, the target is a dragon, so it's not a great attack."

Oh, Gyro, you said good things.

"Yeah, Gyro, you're right. The tools used to dismantle it are a weapon for the dismantlers."

"Yay! My brother praised me!

"Yes, yes, good for you. So don't jump too much."

Gyro, who was praised by me, looks so happy, and Mina is complaining about it.

"For that reason, this time we have a dismantling knife made of black dragon material so that we can cut green dragon scales and leather clean."

That's what I say. Cut the green dragon scales in two.

"Wouldn't it be strange if a knife made of black dragon material, which is superior to green dragon, could cut the skin of green dragon clean?"

"Well, is that what happened? Sure, that would convince me."

……

"" "" "" Knife huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

"Yes, the cut is good there, isn't it?

"No, I mean good or too good...... are you serious about using Black Dragon material?!?"

"Yeah, I'm using it."

"No, we took this course to dismantle the Black Dragon in the first place... we used it as a material..."

Oh, so you were surprised.

"It's okay. Because I have a proper black dragon left for demolition. The new black dragon that I've been hunting for this knife."

"I see, then don't worry...... hey!? Oi!? Seriously!?"

"Yeah, I went hunting a little last night"

"Hey, are you serious..."

Seriously.

"That, for sure, was a shitty demon that could easily destroy the town, right?

"Oh, I bet..."

"Is that a mon who can hunt that in a little bit?

"Besides, you made this massive knife after that, didn't you? How long does it take you to make all this? Wouldn't it take a lot of time just to defeat the Black Dragon?

"I mean, it's Dragon Peak that the Black Dragon lives in, right? Even if you ran a horse after yesterday's course, you won't make it this morning. What's going on!?"

When I told him I had been hunting for the Black Dragon, the demolishers began to flaunt me for some reason.

Hmm, I just hunted the Black Dragon.

"Well, that's for sure!

and there gyro you speak out loud.

"What does that mean, Bowes!?"

"Ha, do something because my brother is an S-rank adventurer!

"S-Rank!? That S-Rank of the Highest Rank Adventurer!?"

When they hear that I am S-ranked, the demolishers raise their voices of surprise.

"Exactly! And because he's an S-rank brother, he can quickly defeat the Black Dragon and come back to town to prepare a number of knives!

"Nah, Cheng Cheng. Speaking of S-rank adventurers, they are amazing at crossing each other with S-rank demons. I've heard that some of them have powerful ancient magic items on their trumpets."

"Well, maybe S-rank adventurers can do it!

No, it's nothing. If it's about a black dragon, you don't have to be an S-rank adventurer to defeat it, do you?

"Oh, most S-rank adventurers are reputationally damaged..."

"I don't know if it's reputational damage."

Liliera is staring at the demolishers with sad eyes for some reason beside her.

Nestled next to it, Mina is somewhat of an ambitious air.

"And well, that's why, gentlemen, use a new knife to dismantle a lot of green dragons. If you're used to dismantling green dragons, you'll be able to dismantle basic dragons without problems."

"" "" "Oops!!" ""

The demolishers return to dismantling the Green Dragon with exasperation.

I'm excited to get a sharper tool than the demolition knife we've all been using.

Getting new gear makes you feel better, doesn't it?

"Hey... can I have a minute?

And those are the adventurers who paid 200 gold coins to attend the demolition course that I've been talking to at that time.

"Yes, even where you don't know what it is?

"No, you're not... I need a favor"

"Would you do me a favor?

"Oh."

The adventurers stare at me with a serious face.

"This knife you made, will you sell it to us?

"Huh?"

"We have a weapon made out of dragon scales, but this knife is unparalleled."

With that said, the adventurer shows me the short sword he could carry on his hips.

"This... is the sword that scraped out the scales of the green dragon"

"Oh, it's a sword that a well-known blacksmith took months to make. But it's not far from the knife you made."

That would be the case, too.

The tip of this short sword is worn out.

Not to mention how much of a sword you just scraped out, let's just focus on finishing it a little bit more.

Then it's natural that the knife I made in one piece tastes better.

Is it really the work of a well-known blacksmith?

If you spend enough money like this, you could make a better weapon of dragon material if you ask Mr. Goldoff.

"No, I know. This knife is also made of black dragon material. Yeah, it's not that easy to give up. But as an adventurer, I'm pretty sure this knife can definitely be used as a trump card. So..."

"Oh, that's good, I'll give it to you"

"I guess, but still..." Huh?

"So I'll give it to you. Not only to all the adventurers, but also to all the demolishers."

…………

At that moment, the sound disappears from the dismantling field.

"" "" Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!? ""

"Hey, are you serious!? It's made of dragon material!?"

"Besides, I rarely go outside of Dragon Peak. It's made of black dragon material. I don't know how much money I need to spend to get this. It's a silo thing!?"

Everyone asks me with their eyes black and white wondering if that's really okay.

But if I could dismantle the green dragon, I'd be able to do just that.

Honestly, I can't sell it until I pay for it.

"The Adventurers have paid 200 gold coins, and the Adventurers Guild will pay for the course for the demolishers. Then this knife is like made with expenses to be used for the course. So I'm going to give it to you."

"Stay..."

The adventurers look stunned, lagging behind.

"" "" "Are you serious?!?" ""

"No, I get it. I know very well. That's what happened to me."

And, Liliera speaks in a smudged tone.

"You're going to give me something even more unusual like nothing."

No, it's really nothing, is it?
