I Became an Academy Mechanic Genius chapter 53

53 – first member

“No. 1, come in.”

Soon after, the judging began.

The judges are me, Elena, and the princess.

The assistant staff was Elena’s assistant professor.

It is a way for the staff to send cadets in one by one, and to evaluate them.

“please introduce yourself.”

Hosted by Elena.

I mostly keep my mouth shut and focus on scoring.

Eventually, cadet No. 1 started introducing himself, explaining his motivation for applying and why he had to be selected.

I was not particularly interested, so I put an X next to the name.

“Come in twice.”

Then 2 came in.

Ironically, he was one of those guys who hated me.

I remembered the face because I had seen him mumbling in the front row during the last presentation.

“I am eliminated.”

So it was immediately dropped.

The guy who was poised to sit in the chair looked at me with a dumbfounded face.

“J-what now…”

“It’s a dropout.”

He waved his hand and confirmed it once more with an expressionless face.

that you are eliminated

Then he stared at me with an angry face.

“No. 2, what? Didn’t you hear about the elimination?”

In response, the princess sent a cold look and issued a congratulatory order to number 2.

Then, after hurriedly bowing his head and apologizing, he hurriedly retreated.

Eventually, when the guy disappeared, the princess smiled and said,

“I can tell just by looking in your eyes. You don’t like that guy, do you?”

“Yes. He was the one who often spoke ill of me.”

The guy who ignored and mocked me just because I was a commoner.

It wasn’t once or twice, but it was the guy who always clung to Max and badmouthed me.

I don’t know why such a guy shamelessly snoops around here, but it doesn’t matter anyway.

You just need to respond with stronger favor to goodwill, and stronger hostility to enmity.

“Come in three times.”

In any case, the examination continued.

However, from number 3 to number 21, there were no particularly impressive people.

Just mere cadets.

“Come in 22 times.”

In the meantime, a familiar face entered.

Number 22, Charlotte.

“Tuesday, Tuesday, the princess… I see you.”

Charlotte is impressive with her unique round glasses and green curly hair.

The habit of stuttering due to severe timidity was also the Charlotte I knew.

Before long, Charlotte sat down in a chair and started introducing herself.

“Be, the only daughter of the Berdian family… Sha, Sha, it’s called Charlotte Berdian…”

“…”

The princess and Elena look at Charlotte with sullen faces.

It seems that she didn’t like her timidity.

Anyway, Charlotte continued to introduce herself.

“He, I, I… oh, I’ve been taking care of the family garden for a long time… Ji, now it’s raining, although my father is in decline… I, the gardener, don’t get orders. It’s not… the circumstances are, it’s difficult but…”

To sum it up, it means that even in the midst of the ruin of his family, he steadfastly honed his skills and put in enough effort to enter the academy on his own.

In addition, he added that he could handle ‘creation’ techniques related to plants.

It was a special type of magic that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Berdian family.

Elena immediately showed interest.

“The Verdian family… I just remembered it now. A special type of magic that creates nature. I didn’t know you.”

“hehehe… Go, thank you.”

To Elena, who is a fan of magic, Charlotte, who creates plants, must seem special.

Because her technique is the only one of its kind.

“Well. Then, what is the motivation to apply?”

Anyway, having figured out Charlotte’s personality, Elena asked the next question.

Charlotte’s motivation.

This time, Charlotte stuttered hard as she explained her motivation for applying.

“De, de, dwarves… stand, stand, snow mountain and… ah, number of rocks, forest…”

In short, it means that I want to investigate the nature of the dwarves.

He said he wanted to have a variety of landscaping themes for the revival of his family.

“Hmm. We are going on official business, for very personal reasons.”

However, Elena pointed out that Charlotte’s motive for applying was too personal.

Then Charlotte lowered her head with a shy face.

“But I like it even more. You have sincerity.”

Saying that, Elena smiled.

Charlotte scratches the back of her head and blushes.

Eventually, Elena asked me to explain ‘why she had to be selected’.

Then Charlotte said, taking out a pot from the backpack she was carrying.

“I, my family, there is a delicious, delicious, yo, dish!”

“…?”

Saying that, Charlotte pulled out a water bottle.

Then, after drawing a formula that generates a high temperature on the floor, a pot was placed on it.

He poured bottled water over the pot and took out a spice container.

It was a condiment that looked like soy sauce.

– Squeaking…

Shallot pouring seasoning that looks like soy sauce over water.

Eventually, when the water boiled, Charlotte summoned a plant using a magic formula.

Cabbage, bok choy, mushrooms. that kind of thing

‘No, is it shabu-shabu?’

What the hell did I do? It was Charlotte trying to make shabu-shabu.

She said as she put the frozen beef she had packed in advance into the broth.

“I, if you bring me… I, my family’s rain, rain, secret cuisine… you can eat unlimited…!”

“…”

After saying that, Charlotte puts the vegetables into the pot.

Then again summoning vegetables and spitting out words.

“No, unlimited refills…!”

“…”

Charlotte seemed to think that the family’s secret dish was really delicious, and worked hard to cook it regardless of the reaction of the expressionless Elena and the princess.

Before long, Charlotte filled the front plate with broth, several pieces of beef, and vegetables, and served each of us one by one.

I, the princess, and Elena each tasted the shabu-shabu served by Charlotte.

It was the taste I knew.

“Um, is it delicious?”

at that time.

Elena, who had a sad expression, gave a favorable review with a surprised face.

While the crunchy texture was alive, the broth tasted well cut.

‘It’s perfect with just the sauce.’

However, I regretted 2%.

If you dip this in the sauce, it’s fine.

Put vegetables on rice paper, put meat on it, wrap it up, dip it in the sauce, and eat it.

Still, this was a great dish that could be called a delicacy.

“Hmm, that’s not too bad.”

Soon after, the princess also gave favorable reviews to Charlotte’s shabu-shabu.

If the princess, who only tasted many rare dishes, praised it to this extent, it was proof that the dish was of a high quality.

“But.”

However, the princess put down her chopsticks and looked at her differently.

Charlotte gulped and looked at her.

“We are not taking a cook. Also, I’m not going to see the natural scenery of the Dwarf United Kingdom.”

Charlotte bowed her head at the princess’s words.

When the princess looked at Elena, she also put down her chopsticks and nodded.

The two seem to have confirmed Charlotte’s elimination.

At this, I put down my chopsticks and said.

“Passed.”

“…?”

pass.

At those words, the three women looked at me with wide-eyed eyes.

After wiping my mouth with a tissue placed on the table, I explained the reason for passing.

“First of all, the food was delicious. It is not irritating and has a light and clean taste. However, it would be nice if there was a special sauce that can be eaten separately. And I think it will taste better if you mix rice and eggs in the boiled broth and boil it into porridge.”

The princess and Elena looked at me with absurd faces at my lengthy tasting review.

Elena said in a whisper.

“Oh, you’re only cooking it…?”

just cooking?

It’s a dish that reminds me of my hometown, but there’s no way the adverb ‘only’ is attached.

Besides, the reason I picked Charlotte wasn’t just to use it as a shabu-shabu shuttle.

There are other reasons.

“There are other reasons.”

So I answered and looked at Charlotte.

I asked the next question to her, who was looking at me with her sparkling glasses.

“Candidate number 22, you said you could handle the windowing ceremony in the natural world, right?”

“Yes? Yes!”

“Then can I duplicate and summon a specific rock?”

Elena and the princess put on a meaningful look at my ensuing question.

You seem to have understood the intent of my question.

“Umm… go, go, it’s possible, but… that, that, to do that…”

In summary, if the structure is complex and rare, the probability of failure is high.

“It doesn’t matter. The ability to do that is what matters.”

But I put the significance of being able to try.

Now that the emerald mana stones exclusively mined by the dwarves are running out and the price is skyrocketing, the dwarves will dance if given the hope that they can increase the amount of emerald mana stones mined using Charlotte’s ability.

***

Today, the results of the screening from candidate number 1 to candidate number 70.

Ed could only save one, Charlotte.

This is because all persons of interest, including Enya and Isabella, have been assigned rear numbers.

“It was a good harvest, though.”

But Ed was satisfied.

It was because an idea came to him unexpectedly and he was able to recruit Charlotte.

‘Why didn’t I think of that…’

Come to think of it, Charlotte was the number one recruiting target.

Since she has the ability to summon rocks, which are the most important resource for dwarves, the dwarves will have no choice but to covet Charlotte’s ability.

However, Ed was an engineer who believed in the law of conservation of energy.

I didn’t think that the ultra-rare ore of this world, the emerald mana stone, could be created instantly with only Charlotte’s special spell.

‘But if many people help together…’

Just his own engineering knowledge and Elena’s magical interpretation. And with the wisdom of the dwarves, it might be possible to artificially create a dry emerald mana stone.

Just as I came up with a plan to use her magic while listening to Charlotte today, inspiration and ideas might come up when experts in each field gather and talk.

As if the equations derived from the Riemann hypothesis and the equations derived from quantum mechanics were perfectly consistent.

“Then I shall do another study.”

Anyway, that’s it.

Ed had a job to do.

Just to analyze the black yodo.

anger and hatred. And if you study this demonic sword that increases destructive power through vitality, you may be able to get a clue about ’emotional energy conversion’.

That’s the power Isabella uses.

“Pix. One month left. Let’s study hard.”

“Wow wow!”

However, it was not enough alone to analyze and use the principle of this power.

Pix’s assistance was absolutely necessary.

Because of this, Ed left most of the obsidian research to Fix while he was doing the evaluation.

After providing detailed guidance on the direction and research method of research, they were instructed to understand the principles.

“Ugh~?”

But Ed didn’t know until now.

That this instruction causes a huge butterfly effect later.

Pix learns human emotions perfectly through this research.
