'The other artefacts are:

'A book that contains knowledge on poisons and how to utilize them, if I fully comprehend the book, I will get an intermediate talent in poisons and ways to use poisons to get poison immunity plus ways to permanently boost myself through poisons.'

'A necklace that will increase the talent/class related skill development by 70%, but only for a month, after that it will break.'

'A booklet that acts as a half grimoire, meaning I can store spells in there and use whatever energy I wish to cast them, instantaneously, but it's half because the spells will be weakened. 

That's OP, because I could use aura to cast magic and the best part is that it never leaves my side and I can transform it into a bracelet and still receive its benefits. And it allows silent cast, but only if I could use it with the spell myself.'

'Though the booklet is the furthest away as it is in America and my parents will go there only once I'm 11 as they fear that I will get lost easily in the crowd. '

'The second furthest is in Japan, the book about poisons. I remember it was in a museum, so this will be a pain in the ass to get it. I hope nobody steals it.'

'The other artefact I consider in the bag is the booklet, it's in Portugal and it is in a village, guarded safely as the last memoir of a person who saved them.'

'We'll be going to Portugal next year and we are all 6 years old now, so I bet nobody could steal it right now.'

'I already started to plan how to learn 'Stealth' and 'Disguise', and I will be learning them once my legs fully heal.' 

'I'm not in a rush right now, so I will buy the knowledge version, this will save me money as I wish to buy a skill named 'Automize', it is a passive skill that allows me to engrave something to muscle memory easier.'

'I can learn this through its knowledge version, but this is a 'bullshit skill' as I have named this kind of skill.'

'"Bullshit skill' is a skill whose logic went on a holiday and never came back. You can learn them through normal ways, but it simply better to buy the skill.'

'The other skill is 'Engrave', it is a passive spell that, right now, would allow me to engrave runes to any workable surface.'

'Though at its highest ranks, aka, SS and SSS ranks, you can engrave anything on anything, so I could engrave a normal sentence imbued with my intent on air and it would work.'

'The reason I don't buy them right now is that it is completely useless to me as I don't have anything that I can engrave and by 'workable surface' I mean places that could hold the rune safely.'

'It is also a 'bullshit skill'.'

'My plan right now is to buy as many useful skills as possible.'

'There is a total of 21 that I wish to get, but I can't as there is a limit on how may skills I can hold at once.'

'Currently, my soul is under a lot of pressure as I'm already pushing my stat avg. to the limit and getting more skills could potentially harm me and 'Soul Regeneration' won't help me in this case because the damage gain will surpass healing rate.

And the current 'Soul Regeneration' can only heal non-permanent damage, precisely the kind of damage I won't receive if I get more skills.'

'Though amongst the skills I wish to get there is 'Zone', a skill which will make me go 'ultra-instinct' but I'm still conscious and it won't give me any kind of boost in reflex and so on.'

''Combat sense' is another skill I MUST get, it allows me to utilize anything usable as a weapon and gives me a lot of info about my fight, for example, faints, hits I should avoid and so on.'

'The last skill that is essential to my plan is 'Flow'.'

'It is a skill that all people that are fighters of any kind, be it mages or warriors, wish to get.'

''Flow' allows any attacks you launch to flow smoothly into another attack, regardless of weather the attack is interrupted or not and it doesn't conflict with any fighting style.'

'Though all the skills I mentioned are stupidly expensive for their rank, as the cheapest of the skills I mentioned, 'Automize', costs 7 silvers and 8 coppers.''

Now let me catch up on my sleep and pretend that I'm not sleeping.

<3 hour time skip>

"Master, I'm ready learn about forging today."

"Good, as promised I will teach you about forging and for starters, since we looked over the most important theoretical knowledge, I will show you clips of people forging, be it from movies or anywhere else and you have to tell me what's wrong."

"Understood"

And we began watching and I didn't spot any mistakes, keep in mind that I never even set foot in a forge before my regression.

After 10 minutes, the clip finished.

"Now, tell me what's wrong with the way he forged."

"He was forging extremely slow and on the edge of the anvil, right at the place where the hole is."

"Yes, what else have you noticed?"

"He had absolutely no rhythm in his forge."

"And tell me, why are these things considered mistakes?"

"You have to forge fast because the metal won't stay heated all the time and thus you will waste even for time to reheat the metal and because of this, what might take a day, at his pace could take a week if not more.

You must forge at the center of the anvil as the hole is meant to hold a hammer and if you forge on top of it, it will leave marks that you don't want.

You must have a rhythm because it makes forging fast easier and easier to control the hammer as well."

"Correct, though you missed the mistake he did when quenching, but we didn't go over that, so this mistake is forgiven."

And we went like this for 2 hours, though there was still 1 hour left.
