Academy’s Genius Tamer Episode 147
All members of the guild gathered.
It is a very natural truth, but it is noisy when children gather.
Woodang Tangtang.
I ignored the usual noise and looked around Natalie’s studio slowly.
The other side was already open.
“Can’t you break it?”
“Hey, that’s damn expensive.”
“Adela! Adela! Do you know what this is?”
“Why are you calling me? You don’t have to call Natalie.”
“Natalie! Natalie!”
“… Everyone is crazy.”
Solia stood still and clicked her tongue.
I also agreed with Solia’s words. A sigh leaks out
“hey.”
My words were buried in Seymour’s fuss.
“But where is the cube? can we make How do you make it?”
“Hey, you shikis.”
“So the cube was made here? Wow, that’s really cool… .”
“Seymour!”
“… !”
Seymour, who was flirting, shut her mouth at my words.
“Are you advertising? You’re going to talk loudly at all. Are you going to play with cubes here?”
“that… that is… .”
Youn Ha-eul and Adela, who were secretly excited, rolled their eyes and looked at me.
“Please, be quiet.”
It’s a bit cleared up now.
I turned to Natalie and nodded.
“Start.”
“yes!”
This studio is spacious enough to accommodate a large number of people.
What’s even more surprising is that there are dozens of such facilities.
Natalie smiled and introduced the huge business.
“This is the central studio. He said he could use the whole basement as he wanted, because he borrowed it from his father.”
He asked for a secret place as much as possible, and said that the location of the underground workshop was unknown except to Natalie’s family.
Natalie added that this is a place in charge of customizing precious artifacts that should not be leaked.
Thanks to this, it was a perfect space with some degree of soundproofing.
“It seems like everything is there.”
“sure.”
Natalie smiled at me.
Youn Ha-eul looked down at the clock on the table in admiration over and over again.
“It must be a watch that runs forever.”
“Right. How did you know?”
“I read it. Wow, what else is this?”
“It’s an early idea for sound teleport.”
“Did you make it here too?”
“crazy. rich… .”
Only Haeul Youn and I are able to see artifacts to some extent here.
The two of us had developed Toxic Resistance Artifacts, and the experience of studying Hair Loss was definitely helpful.
There were many valuable artifacts that could not be found anywhere, as well as rare artifacts that were released on the market. Its form and utility were all different.
“What is this?”
Natalie looked at the necklace Youn Ha-eul was pointing at and explained.
“A necklace with stored magical power.”
My eyes widened at Natalie’s words.
It is by no means uncommon to have a necklace that recharges mana and pulls it out when needed.
But what followed was even more shocking.
“It can also draw in external magic.”
“What? External magic?”
It was the same with Lee Han who noticed that it had a similar function to the cube.
Ian’s expression hardened slightly.
“It’s a dangerous thing.”
“It is actually an early prototype of Cube. It was discarded because it was weak enough to draw magical power.”
“Isn’t the principle still the same?”
“Yes, it is.”
“Destroy it completely. How is it cheap?”
I waved my hand and spat out to Natalie, who nodded to understand.
Of course, even if that were the case, the decision would rest with my father.
This is a place where you can freely study artifacts.
It’s relatively safe, if not as much as inside the Ardel Academy.
However, if I was going to make an artifact today, I didn’t have to bring the entire guild.
Today, I’m here to tell you the plan.
“Shall we transform the artifact?”
“So… Are you saying we want to get our hands on the cube?”
“right.”
“It’s a fresh approach.”
The concept that a cube is a kind of man-made artifact has already been heard by everyone.
So, my suggestion was that the artifact could be ‘transformed’ and used.
“It’s limiting the ability to extract magical power indefinitely. Even if the cube is stolen, it will be less dangerous.”
If all five cubes fall into their hands, something unbearable may happen.
In the original story, it was said that it would be able to fly a continent with just that amount of magic power.
Not only the Ardel Empire, but more than half of the human race might be erased from the world.
“For now, let’s weaken the cube’s power.”
The person who created the cube is nearby.
In other words, we clearly have the upper hand in interpreting this artifact.
“We currently have three cubes in total.”
Cube of Void, Cube of Sun and Moon, Cube of Sense.
Each cube has considerable abilities, but the most dangerous thing right now is the enormous amount of magical power that each cube has passed.
Even if you can control it, you don’t have to be afraid of losing the cube.
“At least we can neutralize what we have to some extent.”
Then at least you can avoid the madness of flying the continents.
If possible, it is the safest method we can take.
“But, I have a question.”
“what?”
Seymour, who nodded at my words, raised her hand carefully.
“If the cube is such a dangerous thing as you said, is there any need to weaken it?”
“What?”
“Can’t we just make it strong enough that it can’t be taken away?”
Seymour took a different direction altogether.
I don’t want to lose it, so I take it
In a way, it could be said that it was a Seymour-like method.
Youn Ha-eul chewed on Seymour’s words slowly and bit her lower lip.
“If we get stronger, maybe we won’t be able to touch you there, right?”
“You mean you’re going to power up the cube and wipe out the warlocks?”
“I think yes.”
When something big enough to destroy the world falls in front of you.
Some people use it, and some people want to discard it.
I wanted to choose the latter.
The reason is one.
“Because there is no guarantee that it will be ours forever.”
The weapon I have now may choke my breath in the future.
It was a certainty that I could say because I knew the words of those who tried to use the cube.
If you go and regret it then it will be too late.
“I understand.”
Seymour nodded her head with a serious face, and Youn Ha-eul, who was muttering, paused and smiled.
It looked like he was hitting the mark.
“I saw it and it was ruin.”
“After all, prophecy is scary.”
Adela stuck out her tongue and looked back at me.
The rough plan is here, but there are a few people who need to stay here.
“Youn Ha-eul, Natalie.”
“yes?”
“The two of you take care of the cube.”
He entrusts the transformation of the cube to Natalie, who has the initial production plan of the cube, and the genius of production, Youn Ha-eul.
“Adela.”
“Uh-huh.”
“You will make a communicator with me.”
The sound teleport system is terribly inconvenient and can’t be used when in a hurry.
I thought it would be good to make something like an emergency contact item needed in case of emergency.
Can’t we just let the pigeons fly and wait while they’re being kidnapped and taken away?
I asked Natalie.
“Natalie, can we see some of the early prototypes of Sound Teleport?”
“yes! There’s even a crafting map!”
“thank you.”
Finally, we ask Seymour and Lee Han to complete the decryption artifact.
I handed the necklace I had made at that time to Lee Han.
“Come on, let’s all do our own thing!”
No more time to flirt.
It wasn’t long before the opening day.
* * *
first day of class.
The first lecture I applied for was [In-Depth Analysis of Magic Manufacturing].
Although it was a lecture mostly taken by wizards in the manufacturing field, it was the class that I needed the most at this point.
You can’t beat them with the clumsy artifacts you’ve made before.
In addition, knowing that the cube was only a kind of artifact, I had to dig deeper into the principle. Sorcery would certainly be helpful in that sense.
“But who is the professor?”
Youn, Ha-eul, Adela, and Won.
I applied for a class side by side with a familiar union.
Won tilted his head at my question.
“I heard you are a new professor.”
As a new professor, there was no explanation at the time of application.
“You said that you were a new professor, so you’re not Professor Grint. I’m fine with that.”
Adela said satisfied.
Obviously, there was no word that the professor would change until just before the start of the class, so Professor Grint will not come in. To be honest, I agree with Adela.
“If it weren’t for Professor Grint, that would be enough.”
Every time I see that professor, I feel a bit reluctant!
Bad people are… not really… .
So.
Those strange eyes that seem to want to take me to graduate school.
Maybe those eyes were so evil?
I want to avoid it because I’m afraid I’ll be really drawn to it if I see it a few more times.
Of course, Ha-eul Youn of the Theology Department was unaware of the existence of Professor Grint.
“Who is that?”
“very… It’s tricky… on the task… on the exam… There is a professor who can only take his own class.”
“The victim of the opening exam is here.”
“The opening exam? Do you have anything like that?”
Just thinking about the flight skills start test makes my teeth tremble.
Youn Ha-eul frowned at Won and my testimony.
“Isn’t there a professor like that in theology department?”
“yes. Less interference.”
Just by looking at Professor Shiprim, you can guess the general atmosphere of the department.
The professor still asks if he wants to do astrology if he sees me in the hallway.
Won shook his head with his arms crossed.
“Anyway, whoever comes will be better than Professor Grint, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Even if the new professors are full of enthusiasm, the students understand them well.”
“I heard that you are a talented professor. You are from the Ministry of Magic.”
Even the informant knows that much.
I don’t know who will come, but the time has come.
It was time to look back at the clock that had passed class time and take out the textbook for the [Magic Manufacturing] major.
Druck.
The sound of shoes coming from the hallway stopped in front of the door.
Then, a man in a black suit opened the door.
The emergence of a new professor.
Just like on the first day of class, the students with their backs straight forward bowed their heads and greeted each other in a loud voice.
“Hello professor!”
“hello!”
The moment I was about to smile and bow my head.
The smile on his lips disappeared.
“crazy.”
An educated gait in a suit as stiff as Professor Grint.
Even though he was excommunicated, he had a familiar face that seemed to belong to an aristocrat.
“one… Han Si-hyuk?”
Why is that man here?
why… .
no, that’s why
“Are you an investigator?”
Adela couldn’t keep her mouth shut and poked me in the side.
“Are you really an investigator? really?”
No, stop stabbing me.
I think I’m going out of my mind
“Take good care of me. My name is Si-hyuk Han, a new professor who will be in charge of this magic crafting lecture.”
Han Si-hyuk slowly looked around the classroom and then looked over there.
eyes met
“I see familiar faces.”
Han Si-hyuk smiles coldly.
Arguably, it was a more villainous smile than any villain I had ever seen.
fuck off.
The older brother can be teased, but the professor cannot.
The older brother can hit, but the professor can’t.
In that sense, the situation is now.
“It’s the worst.”
“Hey, you… dead, now.”
Adela couldn’t help but smile as she looked at my earthen face.
