Chapter 23: Magic Tool Creation
A few days had passed after the whole incident. In just three days of rest, Akira was discharged as he made a full recovery.
Although his injuries were a bit serious with his body having dragon blood his regeneration was enough to cure most of the internal injuries. And with Porlyusica's medicine, his recovery was just a matter of time.
After Akira was discharged from Porlyusica's hospital he went straight towards the guild. This is something he had agreed beforehand with the others.
Due to Porlyusica's rule of not wanting anyone disturbing her the guild members couldn't really come and visit him.
So Makarov, who took the job being the messenger, informed him to come to the guild as soon as he was discharged.
The journey from the Porlyusica's house to the guild wasn't very long as Akira used this opportunity to stretch his muscles a bit.
After he came near the door Akira was about to open it before he stopped. Then a mischievous smile came across his face as he took a step back. Then in a fluid motion, he kicked the door open.
" what's up guys I'm back " he shouted as he walked inside with a grin.
" Oh, Akira you are finally back " Macoa who was half drunk suddenly sobered up as he shouted.
" Wait Akira " " Is he finally back " "Welcome back kiddo " and with his words others also began to take notice of his presence. They all greeted him with a big smile.
In the past few days, they felt a bit lonely without him. Although Akira spends most of the time in the library he also doesn't forget to make friends with everyone.
With his social skills, he managed to befriend almost everyone with just a few words. And to top it all off he is the youngest member in the guild so everyone likes him.
" Hey guys did you miss me " Akira spoke as he began to catch up with the guild members.
After a while, he headed towards the bar where Makarov as usual, drinking beer while sitting cross-legged on the counter.
" Hey president I'm back, " Akira said with a smile.
" Hmm, I'm glad you made a full recovery. Remember to take this as a lesson and not do this again. " Makarov said as he took a big sip from his cup.
" Ok don't worry president, it was just an honest mistake. I will definitely not screw up like last time " Akira said with a wry smile. He needs to learn some healing magic just in case he gets himself into a tricky situation.
"Well, anyway where is Laxus did he go on a mission, " Akira asked as he looked around. He didn't see him when he came to the guild.
" Oh yes, he and Sera went on a subjugation mission. " Makarov said calmly.
"Oh, he and Sera teamed up, " Akira said with a bit of surprise. He didn't think Laxus who always acts like a lone wolf would team up Sera.
"Yes didn't Sera inform you about this she left, " Makarov asked. Unlike the others, Porlyusica didn't show any annoyance when Sera came to visit Akira. So she was the only one who could go to Porlyusica's house whenever she wanted.
" No, Maybe she left a note at home but I didn't get home to check, " Akira said with a shake of his head.
"Oh right you still didn't go see your new house right " Makarov asked to which Akira shook his head.
"Well, I came here directly since I was starving. And I'm kinda scared to see what you guys build " Akira said with a weird expression. His worldview crashed when he heard that their house was built in just three days.
No matter how much he looked at it even in this fantasy world where magic is the norm this speed of construction is very abnormal. So Akira couldn't help but worry about how their home turned out to be.
Makarov looked at him but ultimately didn't speak. The only reason why that house was built that fast is because Sera and Laxus convinced everyone in the guild to lend a helping hand. And with all of their help and magic the house was made in just two days.
" President, I'm going home, see you tomorrow, " Akira said as he waved at Makarov.
" Okay be careful on your way " Makarov shouted as Akira closed the guild door.

" *Whistle* wow those guys sure went all out " Akira said as he marveled at the house that is in front of him.
It was a three story building that was painted in blue , pink and red colors.
Akira walked towards the door and inserted the key. Sera already gave him a spare key yesterday when she came to see him.
Opening the door Akira walked inside. The first floor looked it a shop with a counter and shelves that were placed at strategic locations.
This floor is the place where they would place their magic tools for sale.
Yes, although magic tools are not very popular these days, after a few years that would change. From what Akira remembered, magic tools would become a part of their lives.
So Akira and Sera decided to set up a shop so that when that happens they could dominate the market without any competition.
Well with two competent Enchantment magic wizards, there is no way they could have any competition. After all, not only would they make customized magic tools, but they would also fix and repair these magic tools.
" Well I should create some magic tools to fill up these shelves," Akira said as he walked past the counter and activated a hidden switch.
When flipped the switch a hidden door and a flight of stairs were revealed. After he came to the basement he activated his light magic lighting up the whole basement.
" I should first create some light bulbs" grumbled Akira as he also activated his Take Over Magic to switch Rimuru form.
" Now then let's find what we can work with, " Akira said as he went towards the cupboard where Sera must have stored all the materials they need to make magic tools.
These materials were something they collected for many years while living inside the forest. Akira didn't know if it was a coincidence or not but the place they lived in was where most monsters and minerals were abundant.
And with their years of hunting and collecting they may have taken away almost every resource there was in that jungle.
Akira rummaged through the cupboards before taking away a few fire crystals, a mana stone, a few copper wires, and a piece of iron.
After putting away the base materials on his workbench Akira began to work his magic.
He began to inscribe runes on the mana crystal programming it to limit the energy output that would emit from it to the outside world.
Then he wrapped a few copper wires around it while enchanting the wires to absorb and guide the energy emitted from the mana stone.
Then placed the fire crystal on the other side of the copper wires so the guided energy would flow towards it.
And with this, he created a simple circuit for a torch that would work as a temporary light bulb. Yes, it was this simple. The only reason why many couldn't create magic tools is because they lack the knowledge and enchantment magic.
Although Akira made it look simple, each process needs precise control over one's magic power or the whole thing would go kaboom. This is why even Akira uses his Rimuru form as he creates this magic tool with the help of Great Sage who is managing his magic power.
With the circuit done Akira then turned his attention to the piece of iron sheet. He then began to fold and hammer that piece into a suitable shape so it would be able to contain the circuit inside it.
After making some final adjustments and firmly sealing the circuit inside the iron cover Akira marveled at his creation. From a normal point of view, it would look like a cup that is filled with orange ice cream.
"Now for the most important part, "Akira said as he began to pour in some magic power into the mana crystal that was placed on the side of the cup.
