Master Of None

Chapter 2387: 2387. The Appraisals



Appraisal skills were the tough part out of all of this. The materials coming had to be appraised to make sure they were what everyone believed them to be. It was also the key to ensure that they would be able to find new items without any waste in the chance that these items were dangerous.

Alma, Gil, and Remey were considering this while they noticed the few people that had actually come forward. It wasn't that there were no people with appraisal skills available, but the fact that those with the skills could not use them well enough.

The lowest tiers of appraisal skills would more or less just give a name. Some of them would just say, this is an ore of higher quality. That form of appraisal was not as valuable as people realized. Just because it was a form of appraisal did not mean that the skill would give them any more information than what could be found originally.

That was why using the all around appraisal skills was so valuable. People had them made and copied, all derived from Walker's all around appraisal skill as magic scrolls. The other appraisals being copied to magic scrolls were often the higher tier skills which could find specific information about an ore, person, item, and so much more.

All of these scroll took materials and the count for them in the Genesis vaults were very important. Only a certain amount of them could be produced at one time and the same from them being sold. This was to ensure that there were proper appraisal scrolls of all types for when there was a major need for them.

If a dangerous monster appeared or a new plant that was causing a lot of danger to the people, they all needed to be appraised.

Since the world has changed, there were already changes to materials. Some of them radiated mana at all times while other absorbed manas around them. The ones that radiated manas were dangerous because they could push that mana in to others around them. It would also potentially interrupt the flow of mana through rune formations where those materials were.

The same could happen with any materials that absorbed mana. They could steal away mana from other things causing issues. But they could also be plants which meant that the mana absorbed would be growing those plants. Causing there to be something growing where it should not.

The storage of these items was also an issue. Each herb, material, or even monster material found would need to be stored specifically. The appraisals would be able to ensure that these forms of storage were found and upkeep.

"What do we do about the appraisals? You have a skill that lets you appraise herbs and potions Remey, your thoughts?" Alma and Gil had stopped what they were doing. They had everything more or less working to change the entire massive area for their processing. The floating ship could land and get unloaded much better even with this level of preparation being lesser than what it was going to be.

"You want me to have an answer? I never studied more than what I needed to. I just had the knowledge to get the skill. I can't just say what ways people could get better appraisal skills. I thought some people were lucky and got the skills from using scrolls too?" As much as Remey wanted to just help and have an answer, she didn't have one. But that was fair.

So many people had used the all around appraisal scrolls which were very high quality. Since that was the case, a few people had gained a basic appraisal, the all around appraisal skill, or even a different appraisal skill related to their class.

There was a swordsman who gained the sword appraisal skill, it was only for swords and it focused on the swords being useful to him. However, that was enough for him to have the knowledge that he needed.

Regardless, appraisals skills were not just exactly, as what the skill in the scroll used was. And the chances to even get them were very low. "Excuse me, I was scheduled to have a talk about the future of skills and teaching. I think I can help you all."

The voice was rough, clearly from years of talking. But the voice had a certain bit of mana that demanded some attention. That made everyone nearby waiting to report to hear from the three in charge listen as well.

Remey, Alma, and Gil all wondered why their attention had been taken so well when they had been very focused. "Sorry for using my skill. I had a teaching system for years. But it changed a little when I came out of retirement with all the changes and moved here to retire before I saw the potential of a future." The rough laugh was scratchy, but the old and thin man still held his head high when he was saying this.

"So what brings you here to use a skill to get our attention?" Alma was not worried at all. She just hoped that this teacher was not unhappy about having their time lost for a speech about education. She knew that general education was a major aspect of Genesis right now. Many young children could use the knowledge.

Basic knowledge about all races and the way that Genesis worked was invaluable to them. It would allow their safety within the city and also their future growth. Especially since the world was changing. Even just the general information about where the students could go to learn about specific classes was enough to help them massively in their future. "Well, my speed was about teaching. But the class I gained when things changed is called the skill tutor. I can help teach others basic skills that would help anyone at the developmental portion of their lifespan learn certain skills. Communication skills, focus, meditation, and even basic appraisal skills. I have used the all around appraisal skill scroll and gained my teacher's intuition skill too. So I have experience with the all around appraisal skill."

All three were paying a lot more attention now. "So that would mean with the rime and the mana, I can teach some of those younger class holders how to use the basic appraisals or awaken better appraisal skills if they work with me. Too many of them walked away unhappy just now."

"This is what we were looking for then. You can help them learn the skills then? How long do you think you need/ and what is considered developmental when it comes to the age range?" Gil was already getting more information. He set the papers he had been given down and was looking at the pile of people who had too weak appraisal skills for their needs. He even picked a few up.

"I have at least forty people that can't help but have or need an appraisal skill applicable to this entire project. What do you think?" Alma and Remey decided that even though Gil was trying to get the all around appraisal skill to a better level himself somehow, that they would let him do this. The high number of younger craftsmen that had come and found that they could only handle menial tasks was high.

The general attitude of all this had been poor and made many other craftsmen feel unwanted. It wasn't intentional, but there was just a feeling that they had. They couldn't be appraising the greater materials. They could only help with some storage. Nothing enough to brag

about.

If they gained an appraisal skill to help though? Well, then they would be able to brag that they improved at the best time to help and improve all of Genesis through materials and more. That Was something to base their foundations as a reason to grow more and more. To say that they saw the material from the day they got it in to Genesis and then to the day it was made in to its final form.

"Of course I want to help. I have been a teacher for sixty years. I know exactly what we need and how to teach any student. My eyes are not the best but the skills still work fine." The teacher laughed with his scratchy voice, but that was nothing to frown at. He looked happier to be of help rather than anything else.

After being a teacher and tutoring nobles or the odd rich merchant here or there, he had believed he would retire and that was that. Nothing more. But then Genesis formed and he moved to retire somewhere vibrant. After the changes in growth and teaching becoming a need, he came out of retirement. He saw so much growth his heart was feeling twenty years younger.
