245 – Soar (2)
As I said before, as soon as class ended, I headed straight to Jane’s workshop.
I wanted to take Grace with me, but she said she wasn’t interested and left first.
Instead, a completely unexpected person came to visit. Godin was also included here, but he was a completely unexpected person.
“Ah. Hello Sivar!”
“Ellie?”
It was Ellie. She headed to the workshop, and Ellie and Jane arrived first.
I guess I came to the workshop as soon as class was over and I wore simple clothes. It seemed like the problem would explode at any moment.
If you apply even a little force, the button pops! It looks like it will be launched. It’s amazing that they’re able to withstand that.
I felt a strange feeling about Ellie’s body, which felt s*xy no matter what she wore. For a moment, I turned her head and looked for Jane.
Jane was not producing anything, but inspecting her finished product. She was so focused that she didn’t even know I was there.
“Jane.”
“Hmm? Ah. Are you here!”
As soon as I called, Jane put on a lively expression. And then Odo comes running too.
Afterwards, she held my hand and spoke energetically as if she had seen a savior.
“Welcome! Shall we proceed right away?”
“No. Godin didn’t come.”
“Ah. I see. Then let’s talk about something else!”
Jane’s reaction is very different from usual. Originally, I didn’t welcome it this warmly.
When she tilted her head to find the reason, it didn’t take long for her to find the reason.
“What are you talking about, sister? You were supposed to eat together with me.”
“Ugh…”
“We haven’t arrived yet, so let’s eat together.”
It was because of one person, her extrovert, and no one else. Ellie smiles brightly, while Jane looks annoyed.
You can see the difference between a typical introvert and an extrovert. That kind of energy was already slowly leaking out.
I tend to listen quietly to what Jane says, whereas Ellie says what she wants to say.
Furthermore, Godin also seems to have a connection because they are close to discussing with each other. Ordinary conversation would be difficult.
“Well, I’ll eat later. There are more important things than eating now.”
“Really? Then what about you, Sivar?”
“Me too, later. It’s too early.”
I arrived right after class ended, so it wasn’t dinner time. If you eat too early, you will be hungry at night.
Eli also thought that she had a point, so she didn’t say anything else.
“Okay. By the way, Professor Godin? He’s coming here?”
“Yes.”
“Um… I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but can I take a look?”
I don’t care, but what about Jane? She looked at Jane, thinking about it.
“··· ···”
“··· ···”
“······Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Is Jane okay?”
This workshop is the one you use. What if the owner doesn’t say anything?
When I asked that question, Jane blinked. She then responded as if she didn’t understand.
“Mr. Shivar made the investment, right? I have no authority whatsoever.”
“··· ···”
“I understand that these things are originally decided by investors.”
Is that so? I’m not sure because I’ve never invested before.
But since Jane said so, I assumed it was so and moved on. First, I allowed Ellie to take a look.
Next, we first figured out what Godin had made before he arrived. I understand that the leg part was completed last time.
“Wow. What is this? It looks like gloves worn by knights.”
“It’s similar to that, but it will make flying a little easier.”
“Flight? Can you fly with this?”
“You can use it by mixing it with boots.”
Recently, even the gloves were completed. Moreover, they even did a test run.
As expected, the downside is that it consumes a lot of magic power, but it can produce a lot of power.
“So, if you use this, you can fly in the sky at will? That’s a really great invention!”
“It’s amazing. If it was useful, it would have been invented a long time ago. I made it because I wanted to make it.”
Jane was embarrassed by Ellie’s sincere compliment. The way she smiled and scratched her head was cute.
As Jane said, this is something that should have been invented a long time ago. The problem is that without Jane, she can’t even try.
Even by modern standards, it is an over-tech product. It is said that the existence of magical power makes it possible, but Jane’s talent is a fraud.
‘If we equip the magic that Godin will invent…’
Ta-da. We created something here that even Earth in the 21st century couldn’t create.
Talent is talent, but it is only possible because the environment supports it. Of course, it is true that Godin and Jane are geniuses.
If I had been born on Earth, I would have easily won the Nobel Prize. Jane probably rode it during her graduate school days.
‘Or maybe I’ll just be manipulated and have my thesis stolen…?’
If it’s Jane’s personality, that might be the case. She went through the same thing in Soul World, so it doesn’t make sense.
She was looking around at her boots and gloves, daydreaming in her mind.
Not long after, Godin arrived at the workshop, and as soon as he arrived, he started to express his admiration.
“Wow, that’s amazing. I know that workshops like this are incredibly expensive.”
“Thanks to Mr. Sivar’s investment.”
“Are you Sivar?”
Godin looked at me with a puzzled expression. Now that I think about it, you just introduced me to Jane.
But Godin didn’t seem to pay much attention, so he skipped over it. I plan to focus on inventions rather than personal matters.
Subsequently, he looked at Jane’s theories rather than the objects she produced. The first design begins with calculating everything using mathematics.
“Hmm… There doesn’t seem to be any problem… But since the output is so strong, it could be used as a weapon.”
“Yes. We were concerned about that, so we made it to simply release energy rather than explode.”
“It’s an energy release. Did you consider the recoil?”
“Of course. If you look here…”
It started again. A conversation that only geniuses can have.
As the two people started talking, I became a spectator and watched in silence.
Ellie was no different, so she watched along with me. At the same time, she quietly crossed her arms.
The feeling I felt as I crossed my arms made me feel at ease. So they quietly put their heads together.
“I can’t understand a word of what you’re saying, right?”
“Yes.”
“But there’s something interesting about it.”
“That’s right.”
It feels like watching a movie. A perfect movie to kill time.
Fortunately, their conversation did not last long. We need to figure out what the problem is through practice rather than theory.
Of course, I am the one doing the practice. If you experimented last time, you will do it again this time.
“Are the boots and gloves the right size?”
“Yes. But I’m sweaty.”
“Ah. Now that I think about it, I didn’t make any ventilation holes. I should take note of this.”
Jane wrote down what I said on the blackboard. Seeing that he doesn’t miss even the smallest detail, he is a scientist by nature.
After putting on both the boots and gloves, I heard an explanation. The boots are the same as before, but the gloves are different.
“The energy fired from the center of the armor does not explode, but has strong recoil. So be careful.”
“Yes.”
“Then let’s begin.”
“Go outside?”
“No.”
Then where are you testing? It was a time when I had that question.
Jane moved for a moment and then pulled a lever. This is my first time seeing that.
Wooow-
As soon as the lever was pushed down, a noise was heard from above. People, including me, raised our heads toward the ceiling.
When I looked up, the ceiling was opening. Again, the ceiling opens and closes like a kind of dome.
Isn’t that the part I broke last time? Jane explained this right away.
“I thought it would cost a lot to repair, so I just made it myself. It would be a pain if I got kicked out for no reason.”
“Didn’t you get caught?”
“Yes.”
“··· ···”
It may be absurd, but he seems to be a genius. I could barely suppress the laughter that was about to burst out.
Finally, all preparations were completed. I stood under the open ceiling and activated my magic power.
“Student Jane. Does it start working as soon as you activate the magic power?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm. I guess I’ll have to think about reaction magic later. I have to activate it whenever I want.”
“That’s a good idea. I was already having trouble with it.”
You talk loudly. I will soar.
If I made a sudden move like last time, only I would be in trouble, so I only used a small amount of magical energy.
Next, magical power was transmitted to the boots attached to the feet, and a rough sound began to be heard from the soles of the feet.
Kuuu-
As soon as I heard a loud noise beneath my feet, my body slowly began to take flight.
Ellie, who was watching from the side, said Oh! Oh! While doing this, I heard voices of exclamation over and over again.
Now, if you give the output a little stronger…
Quaaa!!
I will fly towards the wide open ceiling. Thanks to the experiment I did once before, getting the balance was no problem.
What’s more, I had no choice but to keep my feet together like in the movies. The moment the crotch opens even a little, there will be an uproar.
From Noble mtl dot com
‘Hey…’
Before, it happened so suddenly that I didn’t even have time to look around. But not now.
The flight was successful and I was able to see the entire surrounding scenery. A miracle achieved through science, not magic.
You can see the memorial tower in the distance, and you can see not only the main academy building but also the dormitory building. Even the sparring hall.
But it is not enough. What I was thinking about was free flight, not vertical flight.
He bowed slightly and put both hands behind him. To be precise, make sure your palms are facing backwards.
Quaaa!
“Wow.”
I almost lost my balance. As Jane warned, the output is stronger than expected.
Still, I lost my balance slightly, but not to the point where I fell to the floor.
‘I can’t fly fast.’
I was still inexperienced with flying, so I had no choice but to move slowly. I didn’t climb high into the sky ignorantly.
I’m not worried about freezing like in the movies, but I’m scared that the Academy will launch anti-aircraft magic.
Because there are flying monsters in this world, there is also anti-air magic. The moment it hits you, you will fall.
It is a test after all. I plan to just wander around in the sky like this and then go straight back.
Cheezy!
“Huh?”
But what is this unsettling sound? He looked puzzled at the sound coming from his hand.
If you lower the output as much as possible and you still hear this sound… There’s definitely something there. That’s also really unsettling.
I looked at my hands while flying vertically for a moment. And I couldn’t help but blink.
Chiiik!
“······What is it?”
There is smoke. It’s like it can’t handle the heat.
This is not the only thing. The gloves are like this, but are the boots really okay?
Click! Cheesy!
As I expected, an abnormality occurred in the boots as well. This is an overheating phenomenon that occurs due to the inability to handle the red magic power.
I didn’t even think about the overheating problem. Such a phenomenon has never occurred in Soul World either.
‘No. ‘There was.’
Sometimes the operation stops after the pattern. Could it have been overheating?
I thought too long, and my boots and gloves got ruined quickly. Soon both boots and gloves stopped working.
What was the result after that? What happens?
Shoouuung-
I fell straight down. We somehow managed to get the balance right, but what comes next is the problem.
If it goes down like this, it’s in the dormitory. The moment the entire dormitory building is destroyed, there is nothing to be said even if you are expelled.
Even if you are lucky and no casualties occur, at least a sense of disciplinary action is certain. I shook my head as best as I could.
‘What should I do? What should I do…!’
Even while falling, I kept my head up as much as I could. There is still time left before it falls.
I was thinking while looking down as much as possible, and suddenly a building caught my eye.
That is none other than Lord’s residence. To be exact, it is an empty lot in the backyard.
No one passes by there, so it should be okay. A decision was made immediately.
‘It’s better to get double insults than to cause harm.’
I immediately turned my hand halfway around my body. After adjusting the direction, I immediately concentrated my magic power into my palm.
Just in case, I turned it slightly upward, not toward the bottom. Next, concentrated magical power was fired.
Kwaang!
Rather than the armor being damaged due to overheating, red magical energy was fired from the palm of the hand.
Similar to Death Beam, but different. If the death beam is a type of laser, the one I did is closer to a cannon.
Thanks to that recoil, my position changed slightly. I fired one after another without stopping.
Bam! Kwaang!
Red magic cannons were fired one after another from the palm. It wasn’t long before we arrived at Rod’s residence.
The problem is that that was the end. I wanted to fall into the clearing, but there was no time.
Kwagwagwang! Kwasik! Quad deuk!
As a result, it fell to the ceiling. Please pray that there is no load.
But maybe it’s because it’s time to get off work. I barely managed to get up, my body aching from the fall.
It looks like the bones are broken in a few places, but they can be recovered quickly through regeneration. The pain is bearable.
“Ouch…”
As I was waking up with a sob in my voice, I felt a strange gaze.
As soon as I felt that gaze, I gently looked away and turned my head. And sure enough.
“··· ···”
Rod was standing there with dust covering his head. While holding a teacup in his hand.
The expression on his face was close to that of an infinitely benevolent grandfather, but behind it seemed to be the embodiment of some kind of evil spirit or chasal.
It is not an illusion. Clearly, behind the scenes, an evil spirit with several arms is glaring at me.
When I saw that, my wild instinct cried out. No, that’s what I thought before my wild instincts shouted.
“······Hello?”
I’m screwed now.
[Faith rises!]
We are Chaos at this point
