Junichiro looked over his improved workshop area with a bright smile. Thanks to his new notice-me-not bracelet, he'd spent most of the day making trips back and forth between the city and his junkyard. In those trips he'd... well he'd stolen a lot of stuff. He didn't really feel good about that but he didn't have a whole lot of choice. There was no one faction he could trust to go to for help and no living family he could go to. He was completely on his own and if he allowed himself to go into the foster system, he'd never be able to work on his abilities. So, theft was his only viable option at this point.
He was pretty happy with the results though. He'd gotten his hands on a camp grill and several cases of the small propane tanks it needed for fuel. A large tool kit with all the basic tools like socket wrenches, allen wrenches, and more. Piping and fittings for gas lines to modify the grill. A nice collection of hammers, chisels, files, and even a small anvil. That last one had been a surprise to spot. It was only thirty kilograms, but it would work for now. There were also other various odds and ends to help with his work. It was all a massive improvement over his scrap forge.
It was all thanks to his bracelet. Loading a shopping cart with items and just walking out with them would have been impossible without it. None of his actions had been suspicious or attention attracting on their own. It was only once he did everything that it became theft and no one payed enough attention to him to see the big picture. As long as he didn't try to get into locked cases or run into someone, he was as good as invisible. Though there were definitely security recordings of his actions. He'd need to keep that in mind so he didn't just walk into a store he'd just ripped off.
Everything he needed to make a rigged gas forge, that he could find, was quickly pulled into a pile of items. He used his brand new tool set to disassemble the gas grill to get the burners out. It was a nice triple burner grill, though one burner was a third the size of the two main ones. It didn't matter though, he could use all three. Once they were taken out of the main body of the grill, he set the remains aside and got to work rigging up the fuel lines.
For a gas forge to work properly it needed and excellent fuel to air ratio to reach high temperatures. Having an insulated box to pour those flames into would help immensely, but he hadn't been able to find anything of the sort. He'd buy a full sized forge off the internet later. For now, he was rigging it so that his metal could fit between the two larger burners, one at the bottom of his chair based forge, and one hanging down so the metal was sandwiched between them. The third would come in from the side so he had three points of coverage to rapidly heat the metal he was working with.
With the grill burners set up, he began his rune work on them using a conjured inscriber. The runes were designed to further enhance the heat and airflow of the burners so make them as efficient at possible. He was already going to be constantly changing out the small green tanks, no need to have to do it more often that absolutely necessary.
While he was at it, he started inscribing runes onto the anvil as well. It was a small anvil being only thirty kilos and he was honestly shocked he'd even found it. If he had to guess, it was just meant to be set on a table and used for small simple tasks, like straightening out tools. With some runes on it he helped to stabilize the anvil by making it act like it was heavier as well as reinforcing it so the face of the anvil would be harder to damage. Putting dents on the face of the anvil was a great way to mar all his future work.
