Episode 482 Arrangements and License Fees

I asked Nezu to help me verify the newly created "Absorb Shield.

What do you want me to do?"

When I invoke the magic, attack me with the shinai."

I understand.

　I activate "Absorb Shield" in the underground practice area. Nine D-particle red shields are created around me and begin to circle around me.

　Nezu swung his shinai and swung it down at my head, and the D-particle red shield moved with a shudder to catch the shinai.

Keep hammering away."

　Nezu moves and strikes with a series of shinai, but the D-particle red shield catches all of them.

Ha ha ha ha ...... I'm screwed."

　The verification was completed when Nezu ran out of energy. There seems to be no problem with the operating function. The only question now is whether or not it is strong enough. ＜If the "Shock Absorption" property is functioning, it should be able to withstand even a blow from a Titan.

　Even after completing the defensive "Absorb Shield," I was left with an uneasy feeling in my heart that something was missing. I desperately tried to figure out what it was, but I couldn't figure it out.

　When I discussed this with Metis, he said it was probably because he was concerned about Palmiro.

Palmiro?"

'Aren't you curious about the information that you may have become immortal?'

Yes."

　I am concerned about immortality. Can we fight an immortal being and win?　That sticks in my mind like a thorn.

Then, why not create a magic that would annihilate even immortal beings?

　Metis's words surprised me.

Don't be unreasonable. He's immortal. How do you expect me to kill it?"

First, we have to figure out how immortality works. Once you know that, you must create magic that destroys that mechanism.

　I was stunned.

I'm not God.

'You forget,' he said. Palmiro, who aspires to immortality and to become a god, is also a human being.'

'It was human, I should say.' ......, but maybe so."

　I began to research immortality. There are several types of immortality. The first is that a person's body perishes and only the spirit remains, without disappearing.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

　The second is immortality with an intense regenerative capacity. If it has the ability to regenerate if even a single piece of cell remains, it may be called immortal.

　The third is dungeon-like immortality. It is an immortality that resurrects no matter how many times it is killed, like the middle boss in the middle boss room. We can assume that a resurrection mechanism exists in the dungeon, but it would be difficult to destroy it.

　The fourth is immortality as in going back in time. At the moment of death, the person is transported back in time to a time when he or she is intact.

　There may be more kinds of immortality, but only the second of these may be curable. It would only be necessary to burn up a single cell, not even a single cell. Jet Flare" could do it.

　If the first one is the same as a wraith or other demon, it may be possible to defeat it with the light sword Clau Solas, but in the case of a real ghost, I am not sure if it can be defeated. There is no actual example of a real ghost being obliterated by a magic weapon created by a dungeon.

　The problem is the third and fourth. If the dungeon is resurrecting them, it would mean that all the dungeons would have to be destroyed to stop the resurrection. The fourth makes no sense.

　It seems that we need to know what a dungeon is. However, it will take time, as there are many things we don't know, even though various scholars and adventurers have been researching it for years.

　Alisa heads to the university in a good mood. She is in a good mood because yesterday she finally completed a dog-shaped shadow puppet. With the help of Grim and Elmore, she made it into a very large dog using 150 kilograms of shadow clay.

　In appearance, it mimics the Flat Coated Retriever breed. The sorcery eye is also specially made for high-speed combat, and incorporates five core attachment holes, a magic pouch, and three magic batteries.

Good morning, Alisa.

　Mihi Osawa, who is also majoring in analytical magic at the university, approached me.

Good morning."

"Hmm?　You look kind of happy, don't you?"

I know. I've perfected the canine shadow puppet."

'Shadow puppets, huh? I'd love to have one, but they're expensive, aren't they?"

　Alisa tilted her head. She had never paid attention to the price since she was making them herself. But she understood that it would be expensive considering the price of sorcery eyes and other items.

Yes, I think it is. I think it's expensive. But it's worth it.

　Mihime wants to see the shadow puppets, but he refuses, saying that putting them out on the street would cause a commotion.

I'll show you in a college classroom."

I promise.

　When Alisa and her friends arrived at the university classroom, they found several students gathered around and making a commotion. Curious as to what the commotion was about, Alisa and the others approached and found that the topic was an American student and adventurer who had registered an arrangement of attack magic with the Magic Agency and made several hundred million yen in profits.

　The student apparently obtained the "Arrange System" and made a degraded version of "Sword Force" by arranging it and registered it. The degraded version became popular.

　It is said that there are about 3 million registered adventurers in Japan. Of these, only about 700,000 are actually active in dungeons; the rest are paper adventurers.

　Considering this in the world, the number of registered users is 40 million, and the number of those actually active is about 9 million. If the arranged magic is registered with the Magic Agency, these 9 million people will be the target of purchases. If the price is set at 10,000 yen and 10,000 adventurers buy it, the price will be 100 million yen, and if 10% of that is the licensing fee, the price will be 10 million yen.

　The "D-Clean (low-cost)" cleaning magic registered by Grim was making tremendous profits, as even non-adventurers were buying it.

If I got the 'Arrangement System,' I'd be a millionaire for sure."

　One of the students started to say. A friend of mine heard this and said with a laugh.

There are a lot of people out there who have an 'arrangement system' but can only make a crappy, degraded version of it. How are they going to get rich?"

We're going to make a degraded version of 'Death Shot.' Then it will definitely be popular."

　Alisa tilted her head and wondered. The difficult part of the arrangement was to lower the level of magic to be learned without losing too much power.

　It requires a high level of arranging skills, and while Alisa has been able to improve her skills because she has heard from Grimm about his know-how in creating magic, others have to start by accumulating know-how. It is not something that can be easily arranged.

　Alisa herself has been thinking about arranging it, and is researching the possibility of rearranging "Wing" to create a magic that would allow the lame or elderly to walk up and down stairs.

　He saw a person with an injured leg struggling to climb the stairs and thought it was necessary.
