Chapter 225
225: It’s Just Visible, Isn’t It?
* * *
As Buel arrived at the Conference Room, Dohyun and the other Appraisers Guild members nodded in acknowledgment of his greeting. Hezway then offered an explanation to Buel.
“This is Suhyun, who will be conducting the appraisal alongside you.”
At Hezway’s introduction, Buel’s expression twisted into something akin to someone who’d been cast into a cesspool, but having endured racial discrimination for more than a day or two, he accepted it as inevitable. Dohyun nodded and introduced himself.
Since Buel had introduced himself, there was no reason not to introduce Dohyun in return.
“I’m Suhyun.”
“…Just conduct the appraisal.”
When Dohyun introduced himself, Buel’s displeasure was evident, but with points at stake, he clearly made an effort to restrain himself.
Though his pride seemed wounded, Dohyun noted how well he was controlling himself. Just as I was about to begin the appraisal, Hezway spoke first.
“How about Buel conducts the appraisal first, and then Suhyun appraises it afterward to verify the results?”
When Hezway spoke to Suhyun, he nodded indifferently, while Buel’s expression darkened considerably—his pride clearly stung.
‘As if some vermin of a human could conduct an appraisal.’
It appeared that Dohyun had boasted to the guild about being able to appraise items to emphasize his necessity, and Buel intended to expose this fraud completely.
After all, the mere fact that a human existed among Superior Races was proof enough that this creature was a charlatan.
While Buel waited with suspicion, Dohyun rose from his seat and pointed to the items arranged on the Round Table.
“Then let’s start by appraising the elixir.”
At Dohyun’s words, Hezway nodded, and when he looked at Dohyun with subtle anticipation, Buel’s mood twisted further, causing him to pour even more effort into his appraisal than usual.
Since elixirs were naturally easy to appraise, when Buel began first, he released the mana containing the information embedded in the elixir, allowing it to flow into himself. His eyes closed as he meticulously read through that mana.
As the readable information flowed from the mana, Buel carefully examined each detail and contemplated.
‘Hmm… I sense nourishing energy, so this is an elixir that increases vitality… This level of energy is… let me see.’
After determining how much vitality it would increase, he nodded.
‘At this level, it should provide a considerable boost. It’s a mid-grade elixir.’
Having reached this conclusion, Buel nodded and spoke.
“I’m finished.”
As Buel said this and prepared to mock how long Dohyun would take, Dohyun glanced at it, and characters appeared before his eyes.
『Dreadnought’s Black Marrow』
▶「A pill crafted from marrow extracted from Dreadnought, infused with his life force.」
▶「Increases Vitality by +5.」
‘Oh, a vitality elixir.’
The moment Dohyun saw this, Analysis informed him.
Since I had learned about elixirs today and roughly understood the stat increases, I could answer immediately.
“This is a vitality-increasing elixir. I’d say it’s roughly mid-grade.”
“…What!?”
At Dohyun’s words, Buel’s pupils trembled as he stared at him. Though Buel was quick at appraising, he had spent over a minute on that elixir, yet Dohyun glanced at it and immediately stated his appraisal results.
And what’s more.
“Correct?”
“…That’s correct.”
It was the right answer. How could he appraise so quickly? Buel thought, but he shook his head and tried not to dwell on it.
‘It seems he appraised it before I arrived.’
There was no other explanation. In any case, I decided to move forward with that assumption.
What appeared next was an item occupying considerable space on the Round Table—a massive object resembling a door, though its true identity was none other than a shield.
The center of the shield had a groove-like indentation, marking it as quite an unusual shield. Hezway pointed to it and spoke to Buel.
“Let’s appraise the shield next.”
At Hezway’s words, Buel thought this might be difficult as well, but for the sake of pride, he refrained from saying so and hastily cast his appraisal.
Then.
“Hmmm.”
Along with the powerful aura of a shark, Dreadnought’s form materialized in Buel’s mind. Having appraised that this was an item obtained from capturing that creature, it was now time to appraise the shield’s efficacy. And Buel completed his appraisal of the item’s abilities.
The time it took reached approximately ten minutes.
Compared to other appraisers, it was overwhelmingly fast.
That wasn’t all.
‘It’s heavy and extremely durable. Moreover, it has the property of absorbing impact.’
However, I felt as though I hadn’t appraised everything completely, but I thought this was the best I could manage for now. Buel nodded at Hezway, indicating he was finished.
And having read that much, Buel looked at me with confident eyes as if to say “let’s see you try,” and I glanced over before Analysis went to work.
『Fused Bioarmor Shield』
▶「A shield crafted from bioarmor fused with Dreadnought’s carapace.」
▶「Despite its considerable weight, it boasts durability to match.」
▶「It can absorb impact to a certain degree.」
▶「When mana is infused, the cannon at its center can convert all accumulated damage into energy and release an energy blast.」
‘Impressive.’
I shared the results of Analysis with them.
“It’s a shield made from bioarmor fused with Dreadnought’s carapace. Despite being heavy, it has sturdy durability and can absorb impact to some degree. The interesting part is that when you infuse mana, the cannon at the center can release the accumulated damage as a blast.”
“What!?”
At my words, Buel’s mouth fell open in shock, and the other Attack Party members were equally astonished.
Seeing Buel’s reaction, there was no need to ask whether I was correct. Everyone praised me, each offering a word as they looked my way.
“Wow, you’re quite skilled at appraisal too.”
“Hmm, I actually have some unappraisable items myself… Would you perhaps…”
“Don’t be a bother, Harun.”
“Oh.”
Regardless of the attention I received, Buel could only gape at me in amazement. How could I appraise information that even he couldn’t read!?
Even as Buel remained astounded, Analysis continued its stellar performance.
『Deep Sea Fleet’s Resilient Coat』
▶「A long coat-style defensive garment woven from Dreadnought’s tough abdominal hide and enchanted sailcloth from wrecked ships.」
▶「The characteristics of the hull that endured rough waves and cannon fire are assimilated into the wearer, constantly applying an effect that forcibly suppresses the potency of lethal persistent damage and debuffs such as bleeding, burns, and acid corrosion.」
▶「When an enemy’s lethal slash or piercing attack touches the coat, the leather at the impact point instantly hardens like Dreadnought’s carapace, reducing lethal wounds to mere grazes.」
“This is a coat specialized in defense. It reduces and suppresses the potency of attacks that cause persistent effects like bleeding, burns, and acid corrosion, and even instantly hardens against slashes and piercing attacks to block them!”
“What!?”
Again, Buel had only partially interpreted the coat, yet I appraised it completely in one go.
『Broadside’s Codex』
▶「This is a textbook that records the skill Broad Side.」
▶「It’s an area-of-effect firepower skill that converts mana into projectiles and unleashes them in a wide spread across the flanks instantaneously.」
“This textbook allows you to manipulate energy and create wide-ranging energy cannons that fire across the flanks in an instant.”
“You can appraise this too!?!?”
I had appraised even a textbook—something harder to evaluate than any item.
『Dreadnought’s Serrated Blade』
▶「A greatsword fashioned from the largest tooth of Dreadnought, which once devoured entire hulls of the Lawless Fleet. It has been roughly honed.」
▶「Minute serrations densely embedded along the blade’s edge forcibly tear away the armor or scales at the point of impact, allowing the weapon to ignore a fixed percentage of the target’s base physical defense and deal damage.」
▶「As it absorbs blood, the predatory instinct dormant within the blade awakens. With each consecutive successful strike, the physical cutting power infused in the next attack gradually amplifies.」
▶「Should the weapon’s durability sustain damage, it recovers as it absorbs blood.」
“Oh!? This is an excellent blade. Looking closely at the edge, I can see fine serrations embedded there. Like a saw tearing through, it ignores a portion of defense, and as it feeds on blood, its cutting and attack power amplify. When the weapon sustains damage, it can absorb blood to restore its durability.”
“Th-this is something even I couldn’t fully appraise….”
When I appraised even a blade that Buel hadn’t appraised at all, it was inevitable that Hezway and the other Appraisers Guild members’ eyes changed.
Buel, who had initially dismissed me, watched my appraisal and approached with glistening eyes.
“H-how on earth did you do that!?”
Seeing those earnest, genuinely curious glistening eyes, I had no choice but to answer.
“Well… I just see it when I look.”
It wasn’t a lie.
When I actually looked, Analysis told me everything.
Upon hearing my words, Buel’s eyes widened, and rather than becoming angry at what I said,
“M-might you possibly teach me appraisal!?”
“Huh?”
He began clinging to me, begging me to teach him appraisal. Pride and such weren’t important right now.
Buel, thinking this young man before him was nothing short of a god of appraisal, grabbed my pant leg and began pleading more desperately when Hezway stepped in to mediate.
“Ahem, let us conclude for today. I’ll provide the points immediately.”
As Hezway spoke thus, watching Buel cling so desperately, Buel brushed aside Hezway’s hand and cried out.
“N-no, I don’t need the points!!! J-just the teachings! Argh! Let go of me!!!”
As I watched Buel being dragged away by Terra and Weasel from Hezway’s party, the other Appraisers Guild members looked at Buel in bewilderment. I scratched my cheek with a somewhat bewildered expression as I watched him being hauled away.
‘Did I go too far?’
I thought that, then figured it didn’t matter, so I fell into deeper contemplation instead. While the commotion ensued and Hezway hurriedly went outside to calculate the points, I continued thinking for quite some time.
About nothing else.
‘Hmm, two of those.’
Since I was the one who could choose first by merit—or rather, since the Dohyun Party could choose first—I was able to decide what to select after a moment’s consideration.
The elixir raised stats, which the Dohyun Party didn’t need right now. After all, raising stats was easy for us. But the other items were different.
First, the skill seemed too useless, so naturally I’d pass. The shield had no one to use it, so if I passed on that, only two items remained.
The coat and the blade.
But the problem was.
‘Both of those look the best….’
I wondered if I could just pick those two. No matter how high the merit points, taking all the best items might feel a bit awkward.
Still, I was who I was.
“I’ll take the sword and coat.”
As Dohyun spoke, Hezway nodded in acknowledgment.
The merit points had naturally been measured in items, so the calculation was precise. After that, Hezway’s Party, which had earned the highest merit points, selected the elixir, and then Ines’s Party chose the shield. Next, Jerome’s Fallen Leaf Party, unfortunately finishing last in merit points, selected the manual.
Just when everyone thought the rewards had concluded.
Hezway approached Dohyun and handed over the elixir that had been allocated to her Party.
Since Dohyun was the type to accept first before refusing, he took the elixir without hesitation. Looking at Hezway with a questioning expression, she spoke.
“You appraised items well, and you brought together Ines’s Party, the wanderer, and Baeryujin. So I can yield this much compensation. Of course, this isn’t an attempt to sweep things under the rug—I’ll make sure to give more later.”
“…Uh, um… Thank you.”
Dohyun accepted the elixir as he spoke. From the rewards obtained from Dreadnought, he had acquired three out of five items.
Though Dohyun felt bewildered, the other Appraisers Guild members showed no objection whatsoever—instead, they applauded as if offering congratulations.
“Congratulations.”
“You certainly deserve that much.”
“We gathered because of you, after all.”
“Congratulations.”
With everyone congratulating him like that, Dohyun accepted with a bewildered expression and smiled wryly.
‘Well, I’m not going to refuse a gift.’
And once Dohyun had received all the rewards, Hezway, observing that their work was now complete, spoke to them.
“Now that we have new information about Davy Jones, let’s proceed with the formal briefing.”
