I Became an Academy Mechanic Genius chapter 73

73 – Symbol of violence

Hijuk.

From noble mtl dot com

The corners of the devil’s mouth went up.

He keeps pounding on the plasma mana shield that looks like it will break at any moment, and lets out a bizarre laugh.

He looks as excited as a child.

“Kihi! Kihi! Kuhi! Kuhihihi!”

And this was a clear provocation.

They are mocking me.

If this mana shield is broken, he will suck my blood like the instructor who just killed him. That kind of base thought is in his eyes.

They think of me as prey.

-Pazizik.

So I took out a mask that is still under development.

Because I want to show the devil my symbolism.

I am not a hunter, but a hunter who hunts demon bastards like you.

And that’s how the hunter ate it.

【Don’t worry. I’ll deal with that guy.】

When the helmet completely covered my face, I uttered words of reassurance to my companions and at the same time declared war on him.

From now on, I will hunt you.

-Paang!

When I turned my head to that guy, the plasma mana shield was shattered.

It’s because I harvested mana on purpose.

However, he snuggled into my arms with an excited look on his face.

Now that the mana shield is broken, you burst into laughter and punched me as if you were dead.

-Whoop!

I just swung my fists.

His and my fists crossed.

His fist was aimed at my abdomen, and my fist was aimed at his face.

-Pow!

Soon, my fist landed in his face.

Wow! The guy’s face was crumpled like crumpled paper, and the bloody sound of bones being shattered was heard.

-Cow!

But his fist also stuck in my abdomen.

Wooji string! Along with a grotesque sound, I felt a heavy weight in my abdomen.

-Quang!

As a result of exchanging punches like that, the guy who was hit in the face by my fist flew several meters into the air.

And there wasn’t a single scratch on my abdomen.

Wooji string! What was shattered was not my suit, but his wrist.

‘It’s ridiculous to be so arrogant.’

And I knew the result would be like this.

This is because it is impossible for such a low-level demon species to penetrate titanium alloy reinforced with mana in the first place.

‘It’s the same with Max, and that demon species. The illusion is also oily resin.’

Sometimes, there is one thing that is completely misunderstood about me.

That is the illusion that it is vulnerable to melee attacks.

Of course, I have chosen a strategy of dodging with three-dimensional maneuver and shooting a repulsor beam from a distance.

When dealing with the Minotaur King, there was no close-range combat at all, and when dealing with Max, he did not give any distance at all.

This is because fighting like that is a rational and efficient way to fight.

When the distance was shortened, he chose to shoot genetically modified spider webs to block the opponent or avoid him using three-dimensional maneuver.

When he couldn’t choose between those two options, he chose to offset the opponent’s attack with the Plasma Mana Shield as a last resort.

As a result, I mistakenly believe that my suit’s own defense power is not much and that it relies on the plasma mana shield for its defense function.

‘It’s just a good value for money.’

But that illusion is not true.

I turn on the Plasma Mana Shield just because I want to.

First of all, it is cost-effective in that it allows attack and defense at the same time, and the Plasma Mana Shield is effective when you need to protect not only yourself but also your colleagues, or when you need to buy time from the enemy’s attack to plan a strategy.

In other words, it is not specifically designed as a final defense method.

‘Of course, the purpose is to protect the face.’

Of course, up to this point I have not covered my face.

As a result, there was a risk of getting hit in the face, and there was no reason to turn on the plasma mana shield to provide insurance in case of an unexpected situation.

But now he is wearing a helmet, and this helmet also has the highest performance protection made of titanium alloy over carbon nanotubes.

This means that there is no need to turn on the Plasma Mana Shield.

– Jeopuk. Jeez. Jeez.

So I walked to the demon servant.

It did not use three-dimensional maneuver, did not use genetically modified web shooters, and did not load a repulsor beam.

I walked towards the guy who was pinned against the wall with clunky steps and punched the guy who got up again.

A titanium alloy fist filled with mana struck the guy’s solar plexus and abdomen.

Pain flashed across the guy’s once relaxed face.

【hahahaha.】

It was fun.

I felt the natural touch of violence, which is closest to the essence.

The weight I felt every time my fist crushed his face, the fear on his face, and the blood splashing on me gave me the thrill of life.

-Pow! Pow! Pow!

When I first saw him, I saw a vision.

A falling empire and screaming people.

Enya was corrupted into a half-human, half-demon by the devil’s whispers.

Isabella is captured by the Great Devil of the North and subjected to horrendous torture before being transformed into a monster.

Elena dies by being decapitated while fighting thousands of demons alone.

Nobles who betray humans and cling to the devil.

An elf forest engulfed in flames.

Dwarves hiding in underground tunnels.

In that miserable world, I am dying, having my internal organs eaten alive.

Of course, this is just the ending of one episode.

I have seen a crueler ending than this countless times.

I have experienced the devil’s banquet dozens of times so vicious that I can see jumping rope with human intestines while eating popcorn.

【No… What kind of game did you make like this? Wasn’t it for 15 year olds only? I’m being torn apart.】

At that moment, I felt angry.

What is the 15-year age limit?

If you treat the heroines with whom you have developed affection like that, how are you going to deal with the complaints from users?

So, did you surrender?

Damn game company.

-Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow!

After all, the best way to vent your anger is to smother the devil.

It feels like playing with clay.

The devil’s eyes pop! And it explodes, and the guy’s face turns into clay dough.

The guy’s skull is crushed, his brain fluid is sticking out, and fluid and blood are flowing out.

-Pow! Pow! Pow!

Nevertheless, I did not stop punching.

I feel addicted to the joy I feel every time I hit the devil.

Ship! Ship! Ship!

The stomach was crushed and torn apart, and the contents inside came out.

It’s as if the dumpling skin has burst, and the meat’s tightly packed intestines are leaking out.

But wait a minute.

Why were you just punching?

You have to burn him at extremely high temperatures and make him smell his own burning flesh.

Now that I think about it, why didn’t we create a great means of conversation?

I think it would be the best feeling to have Fix play heavy metal music and chop him up with a chainsaw.

【It can’t be helped. I will let you eat makchang in another world.】

I had no choice but to film mukbang content.

You roast the guy’s intestines and put them into his mouth with your own hands.

Although Makchang sauce is not available, Makchang is delicious enough if you cook it well without burning it.

It was the moment when I was about to roast the intestines with ultra-high temperature plasma and put it in the guy’s mouth.

【What is it? There is no head.】

Disappeared.

The guy’s head is gone.

The mukbang content we worked so hard to prepare was blown away.

Now─

“Eh, ed…!”

But at that moment, a voice urgently called me.

When I turned my head, Clarice was calling me.

And next to her, the group members who had entered the dungeon together, and the professor in charge who had arrived before she knew it, were looking at me with blank eyes.

It was only then that I realized that I had been emotionally excited.

As I watched the previous episodes over and over again, I was immersed in the memories of that time.

‘Is it because of a technique that intensifies emotions?’

Emotional intensification technique.

This helmet, which is still unfinished, is engraved with a technique that amplifies the user’s emotions.

Because I want to use even my anger toward the devil as fuel.

Just as the black yodo absorbed the emotion of hatred and exerted tremendous power.

I thought my anger towards the devil could also have that kind of power.

However, it seems to have gone a little crazy now.

“Ed, are you okay?”

As a result, this side of me will inevitably be unfamiliar to people here who knew me.

I was kind to them, and I have never been like this before.

-Sigh.

So I decided to stop at this point.

I stood up and pressed the button on the mask to release the helmet.

Then, nanotubes and titanium alloy began to be recovered in the reverse order in which the helmet was worn.

At the same time, the magic that stimulated emotions was lifted, and the blood boiling throughout the body subsided.

It is back to normal times.

After taking off the mask, I looked back at my companions and said.

“I’m sorry. The instructor got hurt, so I got a little excited. hahahaha.”

***

Static.

There was silence among the cadets watching Ed through the giant screen.

This was my first time seeing Ed in such an overwhelming and destructive way.

When dealing with the demon species, Ed did not use the famous repulsor beam, plasma blade, genetically modified web shooter, or 3D mobility device.

I just walked up to the monster and beat it until it turned into a mush.

[Kwaaagh! Kwahaak! Kuoook!]

Of course, he also resisted.

Every time Ed threw his fist, he threw his fist too, hitting Ed several times.

But that was all.

The guy’s fist was not effective against Ed.

He was blocked by the hard alloy, so only his wrist went astray, and no other attack could cause any damage.

[-Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow!]

From noble mtl dot com

That is how one-sided violence began.

Even though the guy was already unconscious, Ed didn’t stop punching.

The face is crushed, the brain drains out, and the internal organs explode! Even though he exploded, he just kept punching.

I even burst into laughter.

[E····Ed!]

Finally, Ed stopped when Clarisse urgently called him.

He moves his red eyes towards Clarice and his group.

At that moment, everyone around her, including Clarisse, froze in shock.

The same was true for the cadets who were watching Ed on the giant screen.

-Seuugh

Eventually, when Ed stood up, his team members took a step back without realizing it.

The professor in charge seems to be on alert and aware of Ed.

In the meantime, the professor asked Ed if he was okay to check his condition.

However, Ed did not give an immediate answer.

I just looked at everyone with red eyes and remained silent.

.

“······.”

The silence created a suffocating tension.

My back was completely wet.

[-Seuugh]

At that time.

When Ed placed his hand on his mask and pressed a certain button, his helmet began to disintegrate.

The nanotubes and titanium alloy were recovered, revealing Ed’s eyes, the top of his head opening, and the sides of his face, including his ears.

Soon, Ed took off the mask that covered his lower body and opened his mouth with his usual face, as if he had never done so before.

[Sorry. The instructor got hurt, so I got a little excited. hahahaha]

“·····Phew.”

Many people breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that.

The same was true for the cadets and professors at the scene, as well as Charlotte and Enya.

They were worried that Ed might have changed strangely.

“····Edgar Fix.”

Only Isabella said Ed’s name with a face full of joy.

This is because I felt sympathy for his destructive appearance.

It seemed like he, like himself, had restrictions or triggers regarding his emotions.

***

“No, if they come suddenly like this…”

Somehow, after the first period ended.

The kids came rushing in.

Mainly the kids who hated me.

Things that criticized me for being part of Max’s gang.

People who tried to disparage my image by creating false rumors about me.

Every time I went out to give a presentation, they ignored me in a rude manner.

Most of them waved their hands and said they wanted to apologize to me.

‘Is it because of the influence of the first period earlier…’

The guys’ friendly attitude made me remember how reckless I was in the first period.

I remember beating the face of a demon species until it was mush.

It seems that that scene shocked quite a few people.

I saw a strange rumor going around that said, ‘If Ed wears a mask, he becomes the devil.’

‘Let me try it out.’

Just for fun, I stretched out my hand into the air.

Pazy! A crack appeared and the mask was caught in my hand.

Then the guys who came to apologize to me were shocked and shouted.

“Now, now, you were wrong! Help me!”

“aaa!!”

Guys who kneel down and pray or wring their hands.

Some of them even ran away.

This is very effective.

Is the performance okay?

“Hmm… Okay. “I will forgive you.”

However, I decided to forgive them.

Frightening them doesn’t make me feel better or gain any benefit.

According to the regulations, quarrels between cadets are prohibited.

“But… With bare mouth?”

But I am not a saint.

If you’re going to use it for me, shouldn’t you show some sincerity?

I am a victim of their one-sided hatred, so I should receive appropriate compensation.

“What, what, what can I give you?”

What can I give you?

Well.

Now I have a title and a lot of money.

What should I receive?

“Ah!”

In the meantime, a good idea occurred to me.

Sigh – The corners of his mouth rose.

The expressions of the guys looking at me hardened.
