Bab 69: Chapter 69
After 4 minutes I go back to the store, even though I don't want to use the system, it's really convenient with just 2 clicks you take off your clothes and with another 2 you put them on and apparently Gamer's Body really helps with this too since I wasn't really dirty at all and didn't have any body odor, interesting to know, also there is another thing that I hadn't noticed before... never mind when I get wet or lather up if I don't turn it off it really doesn't affect me...
'Although I clearly remember getting wet in the rain or with monster substances and blood... could it be because they are natural things and not the bathroom? My system is really weird at times...although the first time I took a bath it didn't really affect me...are baths in Ragnarok any different?'
In the end, while I think of several really crazy theories, I return to the store where I find Cha Hae-In sitting at a small table, apparently the boys from before have already left, Victoria, seeing me, quickly enters the house and goes to the kitchen.
"Sorry for the delay, well it's nice to meet you Rank S Hunter Vice-President of the Hunters Guild Cha Hae-In." I apologize again and stretch out my arm to shake hands with her.
"D-Don't worry General Leonhard Hauser-nim." She give me her hand but... she really is socially awkward... but I don't understand why if she has to fight monsters on a daily basis she continues being like this...
"You can call me like you did before, you don't have to worry, I really don't like formalities and besides everything we are friends or in the worst case colleagues, so you don't have to be formal with me."
"O-Okay" Sigh, now she is more uncomfortable, am I so scary or is my appearance finally affecting someone?
"And how are you doing? Have you heard anything about Sung Jiwoo?"
"No.. " After saying that, she just stares at her hands...
Smile... don't stop smiling... I thought I could resist characters like her but it really is complicated... now that I remember, she hasn't seen my face either since she recognized me... it may not seem like it miss, but I am very delicate emotionally...
"What's going on? Am I making you uncomfortable in any way? If so, I apologize, but if I don't know the reason, I won't be able to do anything to solve it." That's I need to say it quiet and gently, she's like a little deer if I make any loud noise she'll immediately run away.
"Wha-? You're not doing anything wrong....it's just..... *mumbles*" After saying something I can't understand well, she blushes and drops her forehead on the table... even though I have superhuman hearing, I really didn't understand much but...
"How about now? I just restricted my power to the minimum, I hope this stops affecting you..." After changing my Job to Novice and restricting my stats I clearly see that she calms down a little, although she still does not stop moving slightly in her chair...
"Boss I bring you coffee and some cookies, if you need anything else just ask me." Victoria comes and putting a couple of cups and cookies on the table... I have no problem but why the hell is she wearing her Assassin Cross armor? She even brings her weapons...
"Thanks Victoria, you can go back to what you were doing. Hmmm Cha Hae-In if you like the bathroom is behind that door." After telling her that she just blushes and goes to the bathroom... To think that my appearance would scare a lady almost to the point of peeing herself...
'Did I scare her by suppressing her with my presence? Wow this coffee is very good Victoria....' I remain silent watching what Victoria does... She goes to the counter and starts taking out various objects... apparently she's drawing something, but what the hell is she planning? From time to time she turns to see me and grins and continue drawing again... blushing as she works...
"Sorry for the wait, Gene-Leonhard-ssi." Finally Cha Hae-In returns and bows, apparently she managed to calm down.
"No problem, I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you."
"No, no, it's okay, you don't have to worry, I know very well that it's something that all Hunters do unconsciously, you clearly didn't want to..." For fuck sake! When she sees my face she gets stiff again... so I start to see in my system and I buy a Mr. Smile mask putting it on my face.
"It really is troublesome if every time you see me you freeze, I know very well that my appearance is not very... pleasant but-."
"NO! IT'S NOT THAT! I-I don't know what happens to me when I se-see your eyes I subconsciously wi-withdraw... it's something strange I don't know how to expla-in it more clearly, but it has nothing to do with your ap-appearance Leonhard-ssi." She quickly cuts me off and tries to explain herself...
"Could it be my presence? Or my weight...?" I start to think.
"What?" I clearly see Cha Hae-In's confused face without understanding what I mean.
"Hmmm, my presence or spiritual weight is more complicated, but my soul has a greater presence and you, being more sensible to different types of powers, manage to feel this difference, which makes you feel inferior.... It's like the world of Bleach, the spiritual pressure, although of course it is something different, this is more instinctual."
"I see... but does that mean the stronger we are the more susceptible we are to this kind of thing? In a fight it will really be problematic...Isn't there a defense for this?"
"As I told you, it's not exactly that, so you shouldn't worry much... mine is more of a conceptual weight... if we explain it in terms of fiction books, it would be the way of the Chinese novels to gain divinity, another example is Victoria, you probably feel something similar when you see her and that is for her Race."
Once I mention it Victoria turns to us and smiles, clearly she's up to something... well I'll find out when it's time I really have no problem with what she wants to do as long as she doesn't endanger anybody.
"Yes, I can feel something, although it's much less than what I feel with you... although it's more admiration with her? With you it is only inferiority and obedience... Just looking into your eyes my brain stops thinking and is willing to do what..." At last she realized what she is saying and again bows down covering her face, although her ears are clearly red.
"So you will do what I want hmmm~ I wonder what I can make you do them~."
"Stop teasing me..."
"Hahahaha, I don't really have to do much to achieve it, but don't worry, something I don't like is mind control so I won't do something like that with you." At that moment Cha Hae-In raises her face and looks at me in shock, bringing her right hand to her head and scream, something painful is happening to her.
"Arrrggh."
"Are you okay!? Quick take this it will help you with whatever you have..." quickly start giving her a Ragnarok Panacea, which according to the game is A mystic remedy for all illnesses and status effects.
After taking it, it seems to have worked as she begins to catch her breath and soothe her pain, although she quickly turns to see me and takes me by the arms, this time looking at me with a white face full of fear and anxiety.
"Leonhard! You must hurry, apparently the system is trying to control us! Kurumi, Kuroka and Pyrrha have already succumbed to this and are planning how to hurt you! Apparently even I was affected since I even forgot to tell you about it!!"
"Calm down, breath, you don't have to worry, I already realized it and a while ago I took care of the problem." After I tell her that, she looks at me with a shocked face and immediately takes her phone and sends a message to the chat saying that we are being controlled by the system...
'So the system didn't allow them to communicate with me... but perhaps the system had also controlled her? I know that I erased everything that the system did, does that mean that I erase some memories of it? Or a vacuum was created when the system tried to manipulate them so they forgot about it...'
"Sigh... It's good that you've already taken care of this, Nightingale, Yoruichi and I were very stressed not being able to communicate with you to let you know what was happening..." She simply deflated in the chair, apparently she was finally able to relax a bit...
"Thanks for worrying about me~ I can always count on my beauty lady Cha Hae-In-nim~ "
Again, she just stares at me a bit and lowers her face, she really is too shy for her own safety... how did she manage to live until now... stupid author creating such a personality in a world on the brink of destruction, I even want to protect her too now...
"Let me thank you somehow... I know! I can refine your equipment, is that okay?" I'm really curious how the skill works, as I remember each job level increased the Success Rate by 0.5%, does that mean I should be at 100%? Even if you only take Mechanic Job into account I will have no problems, and if I include the merchant class and even if I only have 0.1% on each job I can easily collect more that 300% minimum!
"Refine my equipment? What do you mean with that?" She quickly asks me, showing herself somewhat confused while sitting, making a little cute pose without knowing about it....
"Didn't I mention it? I am a blacksmith, so I can forge and refine any type of weapons and armor with ease." This reminds me... I have to verify the results of the experiments in Skyrim... hmmm yes, I have the notes of the girls here, I will read them while refining.
"Wait aren't you a General? How did you become a blacksmith?" Huh? She already acts normal, So she acts normal as long as it's fighting stuff? Well it's better for me I really don't know how to deal with people who are very reclusive.
"Yes, I was a General in my past life, I remember mentioning it, in this life there are several professions that I'm practicing including Alchemist and Blacksmith are two of them even exorcisms. I suppose you have brought your equipment in the chat room inventory? Or are you going to fight with a Pickaxe again?"
"Y-yes I have it with me... and please don't mention that again, although I didn't do it until now, it's really embarrassing to see." She really is shy, to think that a girl with this personality have to become a monster hunter... besides one of the most powerful.
"You do not have to be ashamed, I know some guys who use shovels as weapons and believe me they are really scary and efficient in their work, there is even the joke that they are born with a shovel in their hand because of how efficiently they know how to use it" I get up and go to a door on the right where my forge is located and she comes after me, now that I think about it, I haven't used it either since I bought it...
"Truly? Why do I feel like you are making fun of me? I mean, who would use a shovel to fight?"
"Lady, anything can be used to fight, even humanity's oldest weapon is still lethal today and these people are known as the Death Korps of Krieg, and believe me they earned their name the hard way."
"I would like to see them fight on some occasion then, although I think they are from your old life... still, what is the oldest weapon of humanity, the Spear? Or the club?"
"You really should study more about history, the weapon is much simpler than that~!!! And that is...... the rock, that's why it is called the ol' reliable."
After hearing that, she stayed behind me for a bit, looking for a way to form an argument, but it's the truth, even in the 40th millennium the rock it's still effective, even if I use the thief skill I can do 50 points of true damage to any non-ghost opponent! It's a miracle weapon! Cheap!! And available everywhere!! T he following is the stick, but we will leave it for another day.
"Very well then, lend me your equipment let's see what I can do with it~." When Cha Hae-In arrived after me, she took out her equipment from her phone... it works like the gamer inventory from what I see..
'So 1 long sword, no this is a saber... huh it's only level 2 weapon in the world of Ragnarok? An S-class hunter is using such a low level weapon? Or could it be that this sword is spare or for more everyday use? And an red armor that is more like a military uniform, it only brings shoulder pads, gauntlets and boots, no it does bring a kind of cape too...'
*A/N: (I looked everywhere and there really is no information about her weapons...so.)*

'Her uniform is very normal, but the rest of the equipment is a little better... well, let's see where this leads me, let's start with the simplest thing, which is the sword.'
I activate my [Upgrade Weapon] skill and like before my body moves by itself and places the sword on the fire, quickly putting a piece of Emveretarcon that quickly dissolves so my body begins to hammer it by itself causing both metals to fuse evenly, but something feels a little out...
[Upgrade Weapon Lv : 20/20 Skill Form : Active Type : Supportive Target: Caster Only
Description: Refine weapons to increase their grade. Unlike weapon smithing, which is affected by DEX or LUK, this skill's success rate is affected by the caster's Job Level. Master Smiths have about the same rate of success as Item Upgrade NPCs at Job Level 50, have a 5% greater chance of success than Item Upgrade NPCs at Job Level 60, and have a 10% greater chance of success at Job Level 70. If upgrade attempt fails, the weapon will be destroyed. Lvl 1 Weapon Upgrade requires 1 Phracon. Lvl 2 Weapon Upgrade requires 1 Emveretarcon. Lvl 3-4 Weapon Upgrade requires 1 Oridecon. To upgrade equipment beyond +10, as high as +20 the player must have 1 Bradium.
Maximum Possible Upgrade Limited By Level
[Lv20] : Level +20]
I continue to work quickly, another thing different from the game is that here it gives me the chance to choice the final level I want, so I choose +10 and start to add 9 more pieces of Emveretarcon at one go automatically, but this time I deactivate the automatic system aster put then in the fire...
Now I really notice the difference, with the automatic system everything is uniform and stable, if I do the same 100 times the 100 times will be the same, on the other hand when I do it on my own I can modify the result, reinforcing the weapon where I want, repairing damage that it had, so I change my Job to Mechanic to help me in this....
'WOAH' This is awesome! I can practically feel myself becoming one with the weapon... my hammer, the anvil under the sword, the fire that covers it... the hits that it receive... the metals melting and blending every time... I can even use my magic to create 'hollows' in the weapon I know exactly where and when to hit...
I don't understand how I can see myself being struck by the hammer as if it were the sword, while seeing the sword in front of me getting hit by the hammer... I feel as the fire and penetrate the weapon observing all the internal details... and to think that such a wonderful world was hidden in front of me...
After a few more moments I finish, closing my eyes to try to understand everything I just observed and feel what just happened, in just 30 seconds my way of seeing the world changed forever, there is no way for me to use the system anymore automatically... in the end I just exhale and turn to see Cha Hae-In.
"Everything went well here is your weapon... what happened?" When I see Cha Hae-In I only see her with a flushing and surprised face, behind her Victoria is also red but she has a phone and taking pictures of me....?
I turned to see and apparently and it seems that while I changed my profession everything changed so I am in the normal Mechanic 'armor', if you can call it that, with only shoulder pads and all the upper body exposed, the weird thing is that apparently whatever happened even made me sweat... what kind of fan service am I generating?
In the end Cha Hae-In reacts although this time she doesn't react much and takes her weapon, apparently her surprise overcame her shyness, instead Victoria even wants to take the towel I use to dry my sweat... the world of DxD is affecting my NPCs that much?
So to stop thinking, again I start refining the uniform this time first with another skill that I obtained with the Whitesmith Job [Upgrade Armor], the first time I did it automatically at first to see how the system does it... and it's interesting, first I put the Elunium in the forge and then I pour on the uniform... when trying to do it manually I really notice how my magic protects the uniform from burning...
[Upgrade Armor Lv : 20/20 Skill Form : Active Type : Supportive Target: Caster Only
Description: Refine armors to increase their grade. Unlike Armor Smithing, which is affected by DEX or LUK, this skill's success rate is affected by the caster's Job Level. Master Smiths have about the same rate of success as Item Upgrade NPCs at Job Level 50, have a 5% greater chance of success than Item Upgrade NPCs at Job Level 60, and have a 10% greater chance of success at Job Level 70. If upgrade attempt fails, the weapon will be destroyed. Armors Upgrade requires 1 Elunium. To upgrade equipment beyond +10, as high as +20 the player must have 1 Carnium.
Maximum Possible Upgrade Limitted By Level
[Lv20] : Level +20]
I begin to work on all her equipment, managing to refine them all to level +10 since I don't have the materials to make them better... although to think that each equipment is made differently and each time I see the world differently... if it were a normal person I'm sure would be very affected mentally.
Even the system gave me the state of low [Spiritual Fatigue] which for the moment don't do much only slows down my mana recovery and mental capacity at a very low level and low [Exhaustion] which is the same but with my HP and physical capacity.
That means that I can enter that strange state 7 or 8 times in a row before it becomes dangerous, although thanks to my cheat tension relax in 1 minute I'm like new so I can work without any worries!

"Come on, don't stay there looking at them, try them on." I talk to Cha Hae-in that is absent minded and she starts to take off her clothes in front of me.
So its seems that Cha Hae-in.exe has stopped thinking, so as a gentleman I turn around... of course it's not my fault that I have a security camera in the forge, it's for security.
'I think I overdid it a bit, I even created socket for them to be able to introduce cards.... and Victoria has blood coming from her nose now... but I wonder how Cha Hae-In will react if I upgrade them to +20... '
