I Became an Academy Mechanic Genius chapter 11

11 – Legendary Dragon, Blue

Elena’s eyes widened greatly.

It’s because Ed’s words that he found out the secret of the blue dragon are completely unbelievable.

Didn’t he do anything right away to do that?

I just watched the blue dragon fire its breath and what happened to my internal organs in the process.

But can you figure out something with just that?

“Hey, do you see the mana stone?”

In the midst of such a surprise, Ed pointed to the mana stone.

It was a mana stone at the beginning of the blue dragon’s tail.

“A while ago, when that guy was about to fire his breath, the mana stone was activated and he gathered mana around him. It is to supply the mana needed for the breath.”

Ed said that and pointed to another mana stone.

It was the mana stone closest to the mana stone on the tail.

“The same phenomenon happened with that mana stone. After collecting the mana around him, he sent the mana upwards.”

Ed said that and pointed to the mana stones scattered throughout the blue dragon’s body one by one, explaining that the same phenomenon had occurred.

And added the following words:

“That’s how all the mana in the body is gathered into the largest mana stone near the heart. There, the attribute conversion of mana takes place, and a tremendous amount of energy transformed into the fire attribute is emitted through its mouth.”

Elena nodded as she listened to Ed’s explanation.

Because this is a fact that you already know.

It is questionable how Ed, who does not have the mana tracking ability, was able to find out this fact, but anyway, he thought the same, so he readily accepted Ed’s words.

“yes. You’re right. Perhaps each mana stone has a spell engraved on it.”

“Yes. There must be a spell that allows you to exchange mana with each other.”

“yes. And the magic formula that can strengthen the body. The Blue Dragon is an individual that excels at hand-to-hand combat. He probably strengthened his body by using the mana stones spread all over his body.”

“Yes, as Master said, there must have been a strengthening spell. When he swings his arms, he must have been supplied with mana from nearby mana stones to increase his explosive power.”

“…”

Elena looked at Ed, who was casually playing tiki-taka with her.

How could he be able to communicate so naturally with himself, the great wizard?

This kid wouldn’t have learned anything about magic.

“But the most important mystery remains.”

At that time, Ed said something meaningful and looked at Elena.

Elena felt a chill creep in Ed’s eyes, filled with certain conviction.

It seems that this guy, the blue dragon’s biggest secret, has already been found out.

“Why can the blue dragon stay fine even though it has mana stones in its body? Actually, that was the biggest question.”

mana stone.

A mysterious ore that can fully contain and release mana.

However, the mana stone had a fatal flaw.

The more mana stones are used, the more fatal toxins are released.

The toxin was so strong that it could even corrupt steel.

But how could the blue dragon be so fine?

Ed raised an eyebrow and said.

“But today, I think I figured out the secret. Look over there first.”

Elena followed Ed’s fingertips with her gaze.

One of the blue dragon’s organs caught my eye.

“There’s an organ that’s purple, isn’t it? After shooting the breath, the activity increased by about 45%. The number of beats is different.”

Elena narrowed her eyes and looked at the organ Ed had mentioned.

However, I didn’t see much of a difference in my own eyes.

How could this guy catch something like this?

“Perhaps that organ was responsible for purifying toxins. If you look, that organ is located in the very center of the body. It is to efficiently absorb toxins.”

In short, that organ was the biggest issue of this study.

If you find out the secret of that organ, you can find out the secret to safely use the mana stone.

“Hmm. I’ll have to study that organ intensively. So, how are you going to study it?”

“···Well. Shouldn’t the organ be removed?”

“Then I must kill him.”

“Nope. I need to restore it with Hill. In case it fails, I have to take it off again.”

“…”

Elena looked back at Ed in silence.

How cruel can this guy be to achieve his ends.

Then, Ed snapped his fingers and said.

“ah! Shall we remove the mana stones as well? Shouldn’t we also research the spells engraved on the mana stones?”

***

It went according to plan.

When I saw Elena’s eyes looking at me were shaking.

It seems that he doubts my humanity.

‘Well, I can’t help it, even if the good feeling can be reduced a little.’

However, this was an inevitable choice for me.

This is because when her crush reaches a certain level, a hidden event called [Elena’s Courtship] occurs.

‘I must avoid it at this stage.’

Hidden event, ‘Elena’s Courtship’.

This event was a very clear event with pros and cons.

When this event is triggered, you can enjoy the joy of being courted by Elena and enjoying (?) her 19 gold illustration to your heart’s content, but all relationships with other NPCs are cut off.

This is because Elena’s jealousy and obsession for wanting to monopolize the player is enormous.

At this point, there was no NPC anywhere that could get the envy of the Archmage.

‘To prepare for the destruction part, we need to raise the abilities of all NPCs.’

The ‘destruction part’ boasts the worst difficulty level.

In order to successfully clear the part, it was necessary to raise all NPCs equally.

Of course, Archmage Elena is an excellent NPC, and her child could become a formidable monster, but this academy is overflowing with talented NPCs.

I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to raise them just for the academy head professor and such a 19-karat gold game life.

‘Above all, if we can’t stop the destruction part, we’ll be annihilated.’

And, if you can’t stop the destruction part, it’s game over.

Literally, it means that the entire empire is completely destroyed.

Therefore, you should keep a reasonable distance from Elena and make a good impression just like ‘teacher and disciple’.

It’s a bit difficult to show such strong feelings for me as you do now.

‘Well, this must have made the impression a little less.’

Anyway, for this reason, I said the wording a little hard.

He said it with the nuance that he would heal the blue dragon to secure infinite organs.

However, healing the blue dragon is to release it back to nature.

In the first place, after I finished my research and removed all the glass, I was thinking of restoring his scales with a heal and a potion.

My purpose is to figure out the mechanics of the mana stone, not to use him as a lifelong test subject.

“Then, shall we remove the organs? Just cut that part with a scalpel.”

So, after putting the blue dragon to sleep again, I gave instructions to Elena with a smile on my face.

Elena looked at me with a slightly confused face, and then carried out that order.

Looking at her expression, it seems that her crush on me has definitely gone down.

-thud!

anyway.

With this, I was able to secure the organ responsible for the purification of that guy.

The secret to purify the poison of the mana stone lies dormant within this organ.

Now is the time to reveal the secret.

***

Another 4 days passed.

All the while, I’ve been researching the organ responsible for purifying toxins, and I’ve finally uncovered its secrets.

‘I didn’t expect the mana stone to have been transformed for a long time.’

Surprisingly, the blue dragon’s organ in charge of purification was originally a mana stone.

As a result of examining the ingredients, there were quite a lot of parts that matched the ingredients of the mana stone.

It’s probably that the mana stones have evolved into his organs over a long period of time.

‘The inside of the organ was even more surprising. I couldn’t believe it was composed of toxic substances.’

What’s more, the inside of his organs was even more surprising.

This is because the inside of the guy’s organs is none other than the solidified toxic substances released when mana stones are used.

With this, I was able to figure out how the organs of the guy who sucked in the poison were able to stay intact.

This is because it is composed of the same toxic ingredients in the first place, so there is no way it will rot.

Just as hydrochloric acid cannot dissolve the same hydrochloric acid.

‘The method of purifying the poison was also beyond imagination.’

If so, how was it possible to purify the poison in the form of liquid that was sucked in?

Elena and I thought it was because the ‘purification’ spell was engraved inside the organ.

When I found out that the blue dragon’s organ organization was similar to the mana stone, Elena came up with an idea, wondering if the ‘purification’ spell was engraved on it.

‘I thought it was like that at first too.’

And I thought so too.

If the guy’s organs have the properties of mana stones, the spell will be activated, and the most effective spell to remove the poison is the purification spell.

“Perhaps there is a very great purification spell engraved on it?”

“I’m honestly looking forward to it too. So far, no matter how much research we have done, we have not been able to purify the poison emitted by the mana stones, but I think we can find out through this research.”

So, Elena and I were quietly expecting.

You will be able to discover the highest level of purification.

“uh?”

But when I opened the lid, what was this?

The purification ceremony was nowhere to be found.

Rather, it was full of bizarre destructive spells that had never been seen before.

“This, this…”

And as soon as Elena saw the spell, she froze.

Because it was an unknown territory that even he himself did not know.

“Joe, I need to investigate.”

Elena started copying the spell with a face that couldn’t hide her excitement.

And when three days had passed since I started researching the spell, she came to me and told me the identity of the spell.

She called this technique ‘Gong-destruction’.

“Destruction. It’s a great drink. It is a spell that causes all organisms within the casting range to devour each other.”

‘Destruction’ was literally a technique that made each other kill each other.

In other words, contaminants prey on each other so that each other gets rid of each other.

That was the blue dragon’s purification method.

‘This is totally ‘that meme’.’

Meanwhile, I was thinking of that meme I’ve seen countless times on Earth.

Why, isn’t there a meme famous for ‘Kill each other from now on’?

“How can there be such a spell? It’s so, so beautiful…”

However, such an idea here was a revolution.

This is because it is an unknown territory that even Elena, the great mage, has not thought about.

·····As expected, humans here still have a long way to go to follow the madness of the earth.

***

“I will end my study. Now, let’s restore his scales.”

After understanding all the mechanisms of the blue dragon, Ed suggested to Elena that it be released into nature after curing it.

However, Elena opened her eyes wide and looked at Ed with a look of surprise.

“No, weren’t you going to keep using it as a test subject?”

“Because it served its purpose. There is no reason to keep it.”

“I thought you would just kill me.”

“You are pitiful.”

Ed said that while looking at the blue dragon.

Just looking at Ed’s eyes, he was trembling and whimpering.

Apparently, even dragons have some intelligence, so they know that all these crazy things that happened to them are because of that human boy.

[Instructions of a crazy psycho human male… a monster human female follows… that boy… it’s scary.]

The blue dragon looks at Ed with tears in his eyes.

The guy never forgot.

The image of that crazy human boy smiling brightly as he cut his own organs.

“I’m sorry to send you off like this. I’ve been hearing about it for a while.”

“···hahahaha. Was it enough to get it right? We must be terrible to that dragon.”

“So even if I send it when I send it off, I’m going to give it as a parting gift. I want to plant a mana stone.”

“A mana stone?”

“Yes. It’s a mana stone engraved by the tracking spell. I wonder if you can easily capture it when you need another experiment. I’ve tamed it like this, so there won’t be much resistance.”

“…”

“Of course, there are real gifts too. It’s an elemental conversion spell. If you plant a mana stone engraved with an element conversion spell in the blue dragon’s body, will it be able to use it… Aren’t you curious? If that is possible, this guy will be able to become the strongest blue dragon.”

“… that’s right. Because you can gain the upper hand in the fight of breath.”

Heat rose to Elena’s face.

How could he come up with such a terrifying yet funny idea?

For Elena, who has a strong inquisitive spirit, it was an idea that could not help but be excited.

“Then, Master. Please have a drink. I’ll give you the mana stone after I’ve polished it.”

“uh? uh! All right, let’s do it!”

***

again after 5 days.

Finally ‘Blue’ was freed.

The initials ‘BLUE’ were clearly engraved on his back.

【Huhhh! Free aaa!!]

In any case, Blue enjoyed the joy of finally regaining her freedom.

A human male and female having a heated discussion looking inside themselves.

Slicing his own organs, ‘Ha ha ha ha! A mad human boy shouting ‘Eureka!’

Now that I was free from those crazy bastards, it was time to fly freely in the sky and feel the real life.

In that sense, ‘Blue’ let out a roar of joy.

The strongest creature on the ground, the dragon’s trademark, ‘Breath’.

Quaaa!

【·······?】

However, the nature of the breath was strange.

Fire should have spewed out, but all of a sudden, ice spewed out.

Why is this?

Blue let out another breath.

This time, a tremendous lightning breath erupted.

【Stand, no way…!?】

I got goosebumps on my fins.

A realization passed by.

A legendary dragon that is born once every thousands of years.

It is the legendary dragon that can handle all breaths, and has evolved.

That’s the one who is growing up!

“Koooooooooo!!!”

Blue let out a roar of joy and flew to her nest.
