Book 13: Chapter 4 (2)
“What are you going to do today?”
“I have a forging discussion at Vulcan’s place. I’m also thinking of making a small accessory as parting gift for Lecus and the others. With this world’s standards, of course.”
Shin could easily whip up accessories that would be world-class in power. However, he had trained Lecus’ party as a request from the school, so giving them something like that would definitely cause trouble. And so, he planned to give them an accessory that could work as a memento.
Another reason was to make connections. Shin felt that not only Myu, but also Lecus and Gian came from special backgrounds. In a world where having even one skill was highly regarded, Chosen Ones with multiple skills were very rare.
Some Chosen Ones were active adventurers, so it might not apply to all of them, but Lecus’ party was still immature compared to them. Even if the institute attracted students from all over the continent, and the three students had considerable fighting strength, sending precious Chosen Ones on their own was slightly unnatural.
Whether they thought there really was no problem, or there was a special meaning in them being on their own, Shin had no way of knowing, but wanting to share a connection with such unique people wasn’t strange.
He had heard from Schnee that being a Chosen One would only help cover one or maybe two fields, which meant that very few people owned multiple skills in both battle-type and creation-type jobs, as Shin and his party did. For this very reason, many Chosen Ones were connected with others with skills they did not have.
For Shin, it would be fine if the people around them viewed their relationship like that: he had started to mind the reactions of other people more too.
It was also a small gift to celebrate the effort they put in the training. Accessories with magical properties were quite expensive even if they didn’t provide outstanding effects, at least more so than Rare grade gear.
