The previous day’s commotion had resulted in a cleanup of the guild, and as a result, Tauro’s cleaning time was shortened.

Thanks to that, he was able to spend more time practicing with his sword.

The sword practice was different from what he had imagined. Most of the practice consisted of wooden swords and repeated fx swinging.

According to Instructor Daz…

“You have to get your body accustomed to it so that you can move unconsciously. That’s what mock fights are for!”

So he says.

The other participants were naturally older and bigger than Tauro and some of them had learned to wield swords on their own in order to become adventurers.

Tauro was an amateur who had never even held a sword before, so he had no choice but to practice differently than the others.

Besides, the one closest to Tauro’s age was fifteen years old.

That was almost double the age difference.

It was unusual for Tauro to become an adventurer at the age of eight.

“The reason why the processing fee is so high is because the adventurer tag is a convenient way to prove one’s identity, so it is not something that can be given casually. It’s also a way to keep the quality of adventurers up. You can’t take it lightly, since you might die.”

When he heard this from Nei, the receptionist, he knew once again how lucky he was.

And he wanted to be strong enough to contribute to the guild.

The strength in his arm to swing the wooden sword also increased.

One day off…

Angus, the weaponsmith, had sent a message to the Adventurers’ Guild for Tauro to come to his store, so he went there.

“Tauro, you’re here!”

Angus grabbed him by both shoulders as if he had been waiting for him.

He was as strong as ever.

“It hurts! Angus-san, it hurts!”

“Oh, I’m sorry!”

He hurriedly pulled his hands away, but this time he grabbed them again.

“Thanks to Tauro-kun, I can make swords better than ever, thank you!”

He said with sincere gratitude.

“So, I’m giving you a small sword, will you take it?”

He grabbed the sword that was standing next to him and offered it to Tauro.

“Of course, it’s free. A thank-you gift.”

Angus looked at him seriously and naturally held out his hand.

“Thank you very much.”

Tauro took it and pulled it from its sheath.

It’s a good thing that the weight was made lightly for his small frame. Though it’s still a hefty weight for Tauro, but it felt good in his hand.

“I’m proud to say it’s my best work yet.”

Angus’s confident words were met with a stealthy appraisal by the true eye, which revealed its value to be fifteen gold coins.

“(That’s about 100,000 yen per gold coin)…1.5 million yen!”

“One and a half million yen?.”

Angus repeated Tauro’s words that came out unexpectedly.

Because the sheath and handle are plain without any decoration, that would purely be the worth of the blade.

He looked more closely with his ‘true eye’, he saw that it said, “Gives +5 Agility” and “Gives +2 Swordsmanship”.

. Is this given something?”

“Hmm… I don’t have any appraisal skill, so I can’t say anything about it, but the ability I have is “very rare” and I’ve experienced it sensually several times in the past. There was a response this time. Did you feel something when you held the sword in your hand?”

“I don’t know, but I had a hunch.”

Tauro lied to him.

He wasn’t sure how to explain  true eye

He also remembered that Nei had been forced to do a lot of appraising.

“Well, why don’t you ask Nei to appraise it for you when you get back. The sword that I made before accidentally added +1 to swordsmanship and it caused quite a stir among the adventurers. Gahahahaha!”

Angus’ boastful laugh echoed through the room.

If +1 caused a big fuss, then what will happen to the multiple grant of agility and swordsmanship.

Tauro was worried.
