章節 1447: -1428- On purpose?
Perhaps, Lecty and the others didn't even realize it?
In truth, when Misora and Rico cried out, Rozen had already understood the situation.
After all, Rozen wasn't a fool; he wouldn't fail to grasp the current circumstances.
However, Rozen didn't stop; instead, he continued.
Because Rozen's original intention was to give Lecty a bit of a jolt.
Even though there's now a ring with suggestion properties, it would still take Lecty quite some time to completely overcome her timid personality.
So, Rozen wanted to give Lecty some stimulation during normal times, hoping that it might speed up the process.
It was with this intention that Rozen planned to help Lecty put on the ring, using a bit of physical contact to stimulate her.
However, the act of kneeling on one knee was not part of Rozen's original plan; it just happened naturally.
With this in mind, when Misora and Rico called out, Rozen immediately realized what was happening but decided to go all the way and placed the ring on Lecty's ring finger.
Anyone witnessing this scene would likely think Rozen was proposing to Lecty and that he even put a wedding ring on her finger, right?
How much of a shock this situation would give Lecty could be gauged by looking at her completely flushed face.
"Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro… Rozen-senpai…!"
Lecty looked at Rozen, who was kneeling in front of her, putting a ring on her finger, her face redder than ever and completely flustered.
"What do you think? Do you like it?"
Rozen stood up and, determined to follow through with the act, flashed Lecty a perfect smile cultivated under Natsuki's training, presenting a flawless image.
In that instant, it was as if his entire demeanor became noble and elegant, transforming Rozen into the perfect man.
"N-nothing…!"
Lecty hastily lowered her head, even her ears turning red.
As a result, both Misora and Rico were visibly shaken by the scene.
"Wh-what…! Suddenly doing something so out of the blue…!"
Misora stammered, looking at Rozen's perfect smile.
"Ahem…"
Rico pretended to cough, seemingly trying to divert her attention elsewhere.
It had to be said that, for girls who were only in the second year of preparatory school and merely fourteen years old, Rozen's actions were extremely overwhelming.
Although Misora and Lecty were still in shock, Rico quickly realized the situation and spoke up.
"Setting aside my floating lenses, the fact that Misora and Lecty received a collar and a ring from the Alchemist Division—Rozen, you didn't do this on purpose, did you?"
Rico attempted to downplay Rozen's actions to regain her composure.
But it wasn't entirely without reason; a collar and a ring as gifts, especially for girls he just met yesterday, would seem incredibly inconsiderate.
In response, Rozen rolled his eyes.
"Who do you think all this was for?"
It's important to know that creating Magic Armaments isn't as simple as engraving runes on tools.
To allow mana to flow more smoothly, and to effectively activate the inscribed techniques, considering the need for combat and the use of Battle Skills, Magic Armaments require not only the engraving of necessary Runes but also the use of special materials that are highly compatible with mana.
Although it's not as extravagant as when Rozen creates Living Weapons—using the heart of a high-grade golem, the blood, scales, and claws of a dragon species, and various other advanced magical materials—Magic Armaments still require the use of high mana conductivity and compatibility materials, including some parts from Armored Beetles, to create the best possible Magic Armaments.
That's why Rozen had to apply for the team's necessary funds from the Sky Wizard Division. These expenses were essential, not to mention the scholarships and privileges that high-level teams enjoy, which are often spent on acquiring or commissioning high-level Magic Armaments from the Alchemist Division. This is a necessary expenditure directly tied to one's strength and future survival, requiring the best possible preparation.
For these reasons, ordinarily, it would have been difficult for a team of E601's level to obtain good Magic Armaments. Rozen had gone out of his way to handcraft these three Magic Armaments, giving E601 a special advantage. Without his efforts, the three of them wouldn't have had their current circumstances.
However, even though Rozen was willing to personally craft Magic Armaments, it had only been a day since he met the E601 team.
In other words, these three Magic Armaments were crafted by Rozen in just one night.
And while one night was enough to engrave the runes, it wasn't enough to make everything from scratch.
Given this, Rozen had chosen three pre-made Alchemist Division stock items that were most suitable for engraving the techniques required by the E601 team, which were still empty shells without any techniques engraved. He then inscribed the necessary Runes for the Telekinesis, Suggestion, and Virtual Aether techniques onto them, completing these three Magic Armaments.
In other words, choosing the collar and ring was not something Rozen did on purpose; it was just the only choice available at the time.
All of this was done to give the E601 team a new possibility today, showing them the potential for transformation.
So, if anyone thought he did this maliciously, Rozen would have to say this:
"If you're not satisfied, you can pay for it yourself, and I'll make you another one from scratch, with materials of your choosing. This time, it'll be completely handcrafted, and I guarantee you'll be pleased."
Rozen said this, causing the three girls to immediately fall silent.
Pay for it themselves?
That's impossible, never in this lifetime.
In the system of Mistgun, as the weakest E-rank team, the E601 team members already had the lowest treatment in the entire floating city, with minimal activity funds and scholarships. How could they possibly afford to pay for it themselves?
As for their family situations, Misora was just from an ordinary family, Lecty had left the support of Oichis and was now rooted in Mistgun, and Rico, due to her sister's overly strict upbringing, didn't receive much allowance either.
So, how could they possibly afford it?
"Therefore, you should just behave and continue training."
Rozen concluded with this statement, prompting the E601 team to reluctantly disperse and focus on their training.
Rozen, on the other hand, took out a stack of reports from the Alchemist Division, sat at the edge of the training ground, and began reading, attending to his own work.
Completely unaware, at a distance from the training ground, a pair of eyes was watching this scene.
