While he was mass producing sculptures using the power of nature in the Debkart mountains, Daycram gave a word of advice, “It is not enough to just sculpt the materials, you must carve nature as it is.”
The materials used are not the only thing that matters in a piece of art.
As he made more, he began to see more.
Sculpting was his way of thinking.
Gathering fallen leaves to make a tree, planting trees that were burnt by wildfires.
The more he sculpted nature, the faster his proficiency grew.
Then one day, Daycram motioned to speak with him.
“It seems I have taught you enough of the basics of Nature Sculpting. Sculpting is a way to get in touch with yourself, I can teach you nothing more.”
Ding!
You have completed ‘The Teachings of Daycram’.
Master Daycram has finished educating his junior sculptor.
He accepted an apprentice thinking that he was a exceptional sculptor and taught him everything he could, but he was disappointed.
“The continent’s sculpting is indeed dark. Many talents in sculpting are lost.”
-You have not properly accepted the teachings of Daycram, Fame decreases by 580.
Daycram said a few words during the early stages, but eventually he only watched from the sidelines and didn’t interfere at all.
Allowing students to use their imagination was an important part of teaching!
Weed was familiar enough with cramming education that he could be considered a mentor in the field.
While he was growing closer to nature now, it had never really been a part of his life before.
‘I may still be new to this, but in the future as the skill grows I’ll be able to control the forces of nature!’
Nature Sculpting is currently Intermediate level 2!
For once, Weed respectfully bowed his head.
“I’ve learned many things from my teacher”
Daycram spoke.
"Wherever you go, don't say you learned this from me. It would be shameful."
“I see. So, you'll teach me Disaster Sculpting now?”
"Have you realized nature's true power?"
"I don’t understand it yet. But given more time and I will be able to grasp it."
"This is for you then. Once you have learned nature's true appearance you will be able to learn my techniques."
-You have acquired Daycram's wooden carving.
Having Daycram's wooden carving allows the owner to naturally raise their skill level faster.
"You're a great teacher. I'll remember this forever."
‘I have to be careful with my words so I don’t promise to actually give a reward’
“Will you be traveling around the continent?”
"I must. Since I must walk the path of an artist and save those suffering from the wicked!”
Weed continued hunting and making money as he traveled the Versaille continent.
He thought to himself. Even if in the North, there are a lot of places I haven't been to. I must find dungeons and earn items.
He remembered his last conversation with Daycram.
“While you’re traveling to different places, always remember to advance your Sculpting skills.”
“Of course. I will continue to work hard on Sculpting for the rest of my life. ”
“As you should.”
While Daycram stared blankly at the sky, Weed activated his skill.
“Appraise!”
It’s always important to check even the items people give you in case they aren’t what they seem..
Wooden Sculpture : Durability 1/1
Daycram made this product to teach Disaster Sculpting, but in order to learn one must first know the true power of nature.
Requirement: Intermediate Nature Sculpting Level 6
‘The product contains the techniques of Disaster Sculpting.’
Just as Weed was putting the product away Daycram gave him another gift.
“You should also take this.”
Daycram took out a shining sky-blue mysterious substance.
“As you probably know, this item can only be found in Jigolaths. But, since you need a vast amount of heat and I’m against cutting down trees I’ve never been able to use it.”
Helium!
“How can you give me such a precious item? Daycram-nim could surely make an amazing sculpture with this.”
Weed’s actions contradicted to what he said though, as his hand shot out faster than it did during battle.
-Helium was acquired.
Mana source.
Even talking about Helium is expensive, and I was able to obtain it.
“Be sure to create a good sculpture.”
“I’ll do my best.”
“Then have a safe trip.”
