I Became an Academy Mechanic Genius chapter 137

137 – Ian’s Scheme

-Weeenn—!

Emergency sounds rang out throughout the battleship.

Numerous sailors and soldiers. And the engineer and mechanic started to move around busily and carry out preparation tips according to the manual.

When a ‘level 6 or higher sea monster’ approaches, instructions to be followed are given.

“Prepare the torpedoes!”

The first instruction is to load the torpedoes and watch the situation of the sea monster.

You have to wait and see whether the battleship has a clear intention to attack, or whether it is just loitering nearby or passing by.

“Drop the torpedoes!”

However, this is a strait famous for having the most vicious sea monsters among the Magentani Straits.

Because this was a route that Ian deliberately took to carry out a great mission, he could not avoid the sea monster’s attack.

As soon as David confirmed that the sea monster’s intention to attack was clear, he gave the order to drop torpedoes.

It was an order he could give because he was Ed’s right-hand man and second-captain.

-Kwagwagwagwagwagwang!

Soon, the torpedoes dropped according to Eve’s formula exploded.

In the process, the sea monsters that did not have thick armor spewed blood and settled down below, and some of the sea monsters became scared and began to run away.

However, there was still a sea monster approaching with fierce force.

“Re-drop!”

So David gave the order to re-drop.

Torpedoes were dropped again from five torpedo launch tubes.

With so much underwater vibration that you could feel the battleship shaking, numerous sea monsters began to fall.

No matter how they might have survived the first drop, most of the sea monsters were lost in the second drop.

‘It’s much more powerful than I thought.’

At this, Ian chewed his lower lip and looked nervous.

If everything goes according to the original plan, all the sea monsters should have attached themselves to the battleship by now, leading to a crisis.

Otherwise, the academy cadets who boarded the ship for the purpose of ‘observation’ would not have come forward.

In order to lure out Edgar Fix, it was necessary to create a crisis situation.

“Start the device.”

“···Yes!”

So, Ian gave the order to use the ‘device’.

The device he was talking about here was a special device that attracted more sea monsters.

In other words, it is a device that attracts sea monsters to the location of the device by generating specific waves that sea monsters commonly dislike.

-Wow…! Ugh…! Ugh…!

And the wave was originating from the very bottom of the battleship.

This is because Ian secretly installed it before departure.

Soon, the specific waves that stimulated the sea monsters began to spread over a wide area.

-Kwagwagwagwagwagwang!

But as expected, the torpedoes were powerful.

Even though quite high-grade sea monsters were coming, we broke through their armor and burst their flesh.

Ian gritted his teeth and told me to increase the power of the device.

“Ha, but…! If that happens, it becomes a truly dangerous entity…”

“It doesn’t matter! Have you forgotten who is on this ship? “Who am I?”

“You are a descendant of the sun, the sea god…”

“Increase the strength of the device immediately!”

The strength of the device under Ian’s command was further increased.

Soon, as special waves that stimulate the sense organs of sea monsters spread throughout the sea, more sea monsters began to flock.

Among them, there was a level 7 sea monster instead of the existing levels 4, 5, and 6.

Named appeared.

“It’s aspidochelone!”

Aspidochelone

Aspidochelon is a sea monster turtle that boasts an incredibly strong shell.

Unlike ordinary turtles, this turtle mainly eats meat, has a vicious personality, and even has a facial appearance that resembles a dragon.

More than anything, what was most impressive was its enormous size, which we could not even imagine. It was the equivalent of a whopping 15 pyeong (15 pyeong) in size.

When I saw the shell covered with all kinds of seaweed and shells, I thought it was a small island.

“Crazy…”

Because of this, the torpedoes did not work on him at all.

In fact, it was slowly approaching the battleship, hitting what should have been other sea monsters instead.

“Now is the time.”

Ian finally succeeds in creating a crisis.

Ian immediately left the private room and ran to the captain’s room where Ed was.

And then he spoke with an urgent expression to Ed, who was wearing a suit except for the helmet.

“Captain Fix! Grade 7 monsters can only be dealt with by sea hunters! “Please give the order to stop the torpedo attack immediately and deploy all troops!”

“····I guess so.”

Ed nods at Ian’s obvious move.

Ian, unaware that internal information had been leaked by Bianca, immediately made the next move.

“···But there is a problem. We need someone to cover us while we stop Aspidochelon. “Everyone who can fight must participate.”

Ian uses tricks to draw Ed, a cadet and captain, into battle.

Ed smiled meaningfully as he saw Ian trying his best to attract him.

And then he put on the suit’s helmet and gave him the answer he wanted.

【I will also participate.】

“····!”

Ian’s expression hardens as soon as he confirms Ed’s intention to participate.

Soon, he began to tell Ed the message he had planned in advance.

“Then can I ask for cover? From what I understand, I heard that Lord Fix uses long-range, wide-area firearms. “All you have to do is keep the level 4 and lower monsters out of the way while our hunter unit deals with level 7.”

【I can help you to that extent.】

“Good. That’s enough cover. “It would be better to deploy the remaining personnel to protect the fleet.”

Ed suppressed his laughter as he listened to Ian’s request.

Isn’t this just telling you to join the Klendor hunter team?

Because I knew their plan in advance, I couldn’t have revealed their intentions so clearly.

【Let’s do that.】

However, Ed decided to follow despite knowing everything.

This is because Ed had prepared thoroughly in his own way.

Soon, Ed and Ian. And Ian’s sea hunter unit immediately dived into the sea.

While numerous sea monsters were heading toward the wave generator, they rushed toward the sea monster turtle that was slowly approaching the battleship.

“Form your ranks!”

When Ian arrived in front of the sea monster, he strengthened his vocal cords with mana and began giving orders.

Accordingly, the veteran sea hunter unit formed a strategic line to capture Aspidochelon.

It was a quick and systematic movement like a well-trained soldier.

“Pix ball! Then please provide cover!”

With those words, Ian went to deal with the sea monster turtle.

Until now, we are dealing purely with the sea monster turtle without any modifications.

-Key—eee! Pop! Key—eee! Pop!

Ed also decided to remain faithful to his role.

Until they reveal their evil plan, we can’t go out without caution.

So a fierce battle broke out.

Because of the wave generator secretly installed on the lower part of the battleship, the number of sea monsters flocking increased as time passed.

“All armies participate in underwater warfare! Protect the fleet!”

Because of this, all combat personnel on the ship had no choice but to participate.

The battleships currently participating in the exploration include not only dreadnought battleships, but also rescue ships, transport ships, and escort ships.

-Pajijijijik!

In the meantime, Ian and his hunter unit were skillfully hunting Aspidochelon.

Although it may not be possible to pierce Aspidochelon’s shell, her head and arms and legs are exposed, so focus your attack there.

“Kooooo!”

A local war broke out in all directions.

From noble mtl dot com

Battles took place everywhere, including battleships, rescue ships, transport ships, frigates, and auxiliary ships.

And this was the moment Ian had been hoping for the most.

When no one was paying attention to Ed.

-Sigh.

So Ian gave a hand signal.

At this point, Aspidochelon was to be completed and the ‘Edgar Fix Robbery Operation’ was to be carried out.

-Kugugugugugung!

-Quaaa!

Soon, Ian’s men began to attack Aspidochelon with all their might.

I used all possible means, including creating a large underwater vortex to block the creature’s movements, throwing an electric spear, and sticking a reinforced harpoon into the creature’s forehead.

-Page!

But as expected, it was 2nd Prince Ian who delivered the final blow.

He is a sea hunter and a beginning Sword Master, so he pierced the neck of a sea monster turtle with his Auror Blade, which was his strength.

“Cruru look… Cruru look….”

Aspidochelon, a grade 7 sea monster that gushes out blood through a hole and then begins to sink.

Finally, Ian looked up at Ed, twisting the corners of his mouth at an angle.

And at the same time, an unidentified projectile pierced the video transmission magic sphere around Ed.

This is because they have to cover their eyes so that no one can see their deeds.

“What is it? “I think they destroyed my video transmission magic sphere.”

When Ian and his men, who had killed Aspidochelon, came up, Ed began to question the damage to the video transmission magic sphere.

Some of Ian’s subordinates approached Ed with embarrassed expressions.

“Oh my. Sorry. “I accidentally fired the wrong mana bullet… I will make sure to compensate you for the magic orb.”

The three subordinates said so and began to approach Ed.

One of them kept saying sorry, drawing attention, while the other two secretly took out the device they had prepared in advance.

“hahahahaha! Fix ball. “I think my subordinate made a mistake.”

And when Ian approached Ed and made a gesture that only his men could recognize, the men quickly rushed to Ed and attached the device they had prepared.

And that device was a very expensive device that instantly blocked all mana in the equipment.

It was bound to be fatal for Ed, who operates the suit with mana.

-Shoouuung·····.

And just like that, Ed’s suit started to turn off.

The suit’s lights, which were emitting colorful lights, turned off one by one, and the helmet’s eye light also completely disappeared.

“Tie it up!”

After confirming that all of the suit’s power had disappeared, Ian ordered Ed to be captured.

Then, a previously prepared round glass membrane was placed on the helmet, and smoke filled with sleeping ingredients was injected into the glass membrane.

The intention was to let the smoke seep through the gaps in the suit and put Ed to sleep.

-Chuuk·····.

Soon, Ed’s body began to slacken.

When Ian raised the corner of his mouth and made a hand signal, the devil church bishop and believers who were hiding as sea hunters approached Ian and bowed their heads.

He then requested that Ed’s helmet be removed.

“That’s about it.”

Ian immediately created an Auror Blade the size of his hand.

And then he started chopping off Ed’s neck.

As a result, the plated part peeled off and scratches gradually began to appear on the titanium alloy.

After about 10 seconds, a crack appeared.

【It would have been enough if it had been broadcast at this point, right?】

“······!!”

But at that moment.

An unbelievable thing happened.

Ed, who was thought to have fainted, suddenly spoke and lifted his drooping face.

[Yes, master. Everything was recorded!]

And Anthony’s voice was coming out of Ed’s helmet.

Edgar, who expected that his video transmission magic sphere would be destroyed, relayed the entire situation with a small video transmission magic sphere installed inside his suit.

“·····Ugh! How!”

Ian, faced with such an unexpected situation, stepped back with a puzzled expression.

At the same time, the lights came on gradually from the bottom of Ed’s suit to the top, and finally, a bright light came into the eyes of Ed’s helmet.

Eventually, Ed brightened his eyes and gave strength to his body, and the binding was torn apart in an instant.

Ed said, glaring at Ian.

【Why? It’s common sense to have an emergency power source, right?】

Ed is set to operate by converting to electric current when mana is blocked.

Soon, a missile rose above Ed’s shoulder, and Ed continued his next line.

【Then this is a comeback celebration.】

My wife, who left home, fired at Ian.
