"Huh?"
Hearing this, Ian raised his head in confusion. He looked at the Viscount, and that genuine bafflement in his expression couldn't have been faked—Viscount Grant immediately understood: Good heavens, this kid isn't just hiding his skills, he's genuinely so ridiculously talented that he doesn't even think fixing the Ether Furnace Core is a challenge!
"Well, this is awkward."
Ian inwardly cursed his miscalculation. He genuinely hadn't thought that repairing an Ether Furnace Core would take a full day. While the principles were indeed complex, the technical difficulty of the repair wasn't that high. Any Elite Alchemist with some proficiency in Inscriptions could easily learn how to fix it.
It's like how the industrial capability required to build a car is immense, but fixing one isn't nearly as complicated.
