The Renryll factory, which was aactivity, like any other day orking at full capacity
In a small corner of the factory, Lynn and Theo were busy at work
”Will the packing et here in time?” Theo asked Lynn
”Yeah, apparently it should arrive here soon, by elevator 13”
”Right then It looks like we'll be able to get these things shi+pped out by the deadline then That's our quota taken care of”
Just several feet away froh
They had to get it all shi+pped out by the following day Five o'clock in the afternoon hen the last shi+pping boat was scheduled to leave the docks To transport the freight from the tower to the docks would take about 6 hours, at the very least They would aim to shi+ft it from the factory that same day, via elevator, but at the very latest it would have to be gone first thing the nextat the factory after entering the academy Their tuition fees were covered by their scholarshi+p loans, but they had to pay their living expenses, including rent, by their ownlessons at the acade to the factory to put in their shi+fts afterwards
Their days left little room for relaxation, but it wasn't all bad
They were both entrusted with h it was only se
Thanks to his efficient way of working, and gaining his credit early in ic class, Theo was perrade construction work- as opposed to sie a s e of a small team of, at any one time, between five and ten workers Lynn's role was relatively unchanged, and he loitered around near Theo, always on hand to assist him
”Quick, out the way, out the way”
”Hey, watch it!”
The factory was engulfed in tu and going of workers, who had to be mindful not to trip on the rail tracks that covered the factory floor like veins in a living organis the tracks, which broke up the factory floor into different sections
Because of the croorking conditions, disputes would often flair up over space and misplaced parts On some days, it wouldn't be so inaccurate to describe the place as being si with a bunch of workers fro to swipe so those tools You can't just waltz in here and grab what you like”
”We're in a rush, and you don't need the any minute Look soh? You have plenty of time Let us use them first”
Theo didn't back down He knew if he let theet them back
”When's your deadline?”
”The day after tomorrow”, came the reply, after a pause
The man knew Theo wouldn't be lied to so easily, so he had no choice but to say the truth
”Well look at that, you have et out of here now”
Reluctantly, he backed off
”damn it to hell, I can't relax one bit with them around”, Theo cursed under his breath
”Everyone's up against it”, ca is the problee to have the tools they need beforehand, instead of going around swiping them from others”
Just then so material”
A little ways away, Theo spotted a s ic staff tothe line
The boy's naht a Dale's staff to replace his old Teriuul's staff He was a sincere, clever kid Theo approved of his character and so invited hiet it all packaged up”
Following his order, the wizard understudies, who for thee of the process involved packaging the stock in iron plating, so that it would be ready to be transported out fro process was as follows:
Lay out the iron plates on tablesPlace the goods on top of each tableSecure the oods, so that they're wrapped up froether
This was how they would asse
Steps 1 to 3 could be carried out with staffs designed for ic tool, called the 'Weldmist', which was a spray like tool used to, of course, weld things together
The tool was powered by the operator's ic into the weldmist, it would produce a jet like spray that could be used to weld
Even understudies, who had yet to begin studyinga ic tool, there were naturallyprocedure- one such difference was the lack of a need for high temperature or pressure This meant there was no risk of injury
Lynn oversaw the understudies to ensure they were carrying out the work efficiently, and checking they weren'tIn between his observations he himself helped out in the work too
While this was happening Theo kept patrolling their area, toin to steal any of their tools
”Lynn, cohtly puzzled, before putting down his weld
”Gaul's group are after our tools”, he said, and jerked his chin to direct Lynn's attention
Looking to where Theo signalled, Lynn saw that just as Theo said, oneover at Ketra, as absorbed in welding the iron plates
