I Became an Academy Mechanic Genius chapter 88

88 – Lucas Elmar

What is greatness?

If someone were to ask Lucas that question, he would undoubtedly choose his mother.

For her, ‘Adela Elmar’ is the symbol of a great mother.

‘I must be perfect.’

But for his mother, if she asked him what he was, it was ‘weakness.’

It is a secret that cannot be hidden, and it is an injustice exposed to the world.

It was the Achilles heel that was most vulnerable to attack.

Because the blood of an unknown mercenary flows in his blood.

‘Edgar Fix… Must be defeated.’

Illegitimate child.

Lucas Elmar was an illegitimate son who did not receive the last name ‘Elmar’.

He received the surname ‘Elmar’ when he was almost 6 years old, and until then, he had been called by his first name.

This is because Adela’s parents strongly denied the existence of Lucas.

-That child must be deleted immediately!

-A mercenary’s child, it’s absolutely impossible!

A flowery age of 18.

Adela’s parents strongly discouraged their daughter from returning pregnant.

She was very worried that her daughter might find out that she was pregnant, and she forced herself to have her child every day.

-No. I can’t kill my child.

But Adela’s will was stubborn.

She insisted on giving birth to her child no matter what, and eventually she gave birth to Lucas, who had commoner blood.

However, Lucas’ grandparents still could not acknowledge Lucas.

-I promise to give you my best support! You will be able to see the child’s face once a month… So please… We have to hide the child…

So Lucas’ grandparents suggested that Lucas be disguised as his nanny’s child.

It is absolutely impossible to recognize the child of a lowly mercenary whose origins and background are unknown as the grandson of a grand duke.

Moreover, aren’t other grand duke families increasing their power by forming marriage alliances with powerful families?

Adela, an 18-year-old flower, couldn’t let her value fall to the ground.

-I understand what her father means. Since I am also a member of the Elmar family, I should also take responsibility for it. But I am not ashamed of my choices. It was my choice to love him who died on my behalf and to give birth to this child. So please don’t insult me and my child. I will take responsibility.

But Adela did not give in to her will until the end.

No matter how many months I tried to tease, cajole, scold, and yell, I always got the same answer.

In the end, it was Adela who nailed the fact that she was a single mother by revealing in public that Lucas was her own child.

-The flower of the East is nothing more than a lowly mercenary?

-It looks like the Elmar family’s fortunes end here.

As a result, the situation we were concerned about occurred.

Adela’s reputation fell to the ground, and her family, which had tried to promote her marriage, all turned their backs on her.

In addition, she was labeled as a princess who gave her body to a commoner, and all kinds of obscene rumors about her began to spread.

There were even rumors going around that Lucas had a disability.

-Just because I have a child doesn’t mean my talent disappears.

But Adela didn’t even care.

This is because she has overwhelming talent.

‘Space control art’, the vision of the Elmar family and one of the strongest special skills.

She honed her talents and helped the empire in its war of conquest, making a name for herself on numerous battlefields.

Accordingly, she gradually broke away from the image of a ‘princess who manipulates her body carelessly’ and began to be labeled as the ‘Empress of the East.’

She was recognized as the rightful successor to King Dongbu.

-I will bestow a title on you. Stand next to His Majesty the Emperor and show off your bravery. In the name of Elmar, I will raise her honor.

Afterwards, Adela was recognized by her father and ascended to the position of head of the family.

She played a great role in the great war seven years ago, and the former head of the family, who was fighting against her illness, ended her life with a smile, saying that her daughter had restored her honor on her own.

-Lucas, Haebi has something to say.

However, before the head of the squadron died, she left a message of advice to Lucas.

Adela’s message was to follow her wishes and grow into a worthy successor to a great family.

In addition, she told Lucas in detail how hard Adela lived her life to protect him, even the details that Lucas did not know.

Although Lucas was young at the time, he matured early and was able to see how much his mother sacrificed for him.

‘I shouldn’t be in the way.’

After that, Lucas worked hard to become perfect.

Since he did not have his father’s family name, he put more effort into social circles and fame.

In particular, since he was half a commoner, he needed to be reborn as a noble among nobles.

-Nice to meet you. I am Lucas, a reader of the Elmar family.

Afterwards, Lucas devoted himself to learning culture and formality and tried to become an example to others.

He studied a variety of relationship disciplines, including speech, management, and diplomacy, and did not neglect training.

He did everything he could for his mother, who stood alone and turned her back on the world.

-Lucas, you are your mother’s pride.

-Lucas, you don’t know how happy I am to have you.

-Lucas, you can take it easy. I’m worried that I’ll get hurt.

And her mother cheered her on.

Even when he was teased by his peers when he was young.

When I feel sad because I don’t have a father like other people.

Even when my grandparents look at me with cold eyes.

He always told me that he was happy for me and that he loved me.

To Lucas, Adela was his father and mother, and the teacher of his life.

He meant everything to him.

-Nice to meet you. My name is Edgar Fix.

While he was being reborn as a son who could live up to his mother’s reputation, a person who bothered him appeared.

Edgar Fix.

Even though he was a complete commoner, he entered the academy and stole all the attention.

Even though he entered the school as the representative of the students, Lucas began to worry about Ed, who was getting all the attention and attention.

When he first showed off the gauntlet, I would run the simulation all day long, imagining sparring with him.

‘This is my landslide victory.’

But that was all.

No matter how many times he ran the simulation, the result was his landslide victory.

Even when the Marx incident occurred, his thoughts did not change.

This is because he is confident in his skills as he has worked hard.

-Mom, what was it like seeing Edgar Fix in person?

But.

When he was dispatched to the Dwarven United Kingdom and achieved tremendous diplomatic results.

And when he received the title of Earl in recognition of his achievements.

In addition, when the recently appeared demon species was suppressed with overwhelming force.

Lucas could feel it.

Now I realize that I am no better than him.

-He is a great man in many ways. He has such insight at such a young age…

Moreover, his mother’s answer was decisive.

He was said to be a great ‘man.’

‘Edgar recognized Fix as a man?’

It’s not that he wasn’t, but Adela did not recognize him as a ‘man’ for the most part.

When she passes a certain special standard of her own, she is finally called ‘man’ or ‘man’.

Everyone else was just referred to as a guy or a bastard.

‘Not a great guy… But a great man…’

His heart throbbed.

I couldn’t forget the sight of her mother laughing as she imagined her conversation with Ed.

Although she still retains her beauty at the young age of 36, she was a mother who did not even glance at other men.

As she towered over herself as the Empress of the East, many people tried to trick her to win her mother’s heart, but her mother cut them all off like a sword.

-Be friendly with that man from now on. There will be a lot to imitate.

But her mother laughs so innocently like this.

The sight of him staring into space with a smile clearly reminded him of Edgar Fix.

At this time, Lucas felt his stomach turn for the first time.

He wanted to prove right away that he was a better man than Edgar Fix.

“Gyeonggi-! Start!”

And finally, the moment came.

The day is when Edgar overcomes Fix and stands tall.

Lucas immediately rushed towards Ed.

***

While I was imagining the golden exterior of Macbeth’s sizzling pork, Lucas suddenly lunged at me.

The game has begun.

-Paaat!

However, I wasn’t just thinking about dinner menu without any preparation.

I immediately kicked off the ground, widened the distance, and summoned the gauntlet.

A crack appeared in the air and a bracelet appeared───.

-Whoop!

But it immediately disappeared again.

This is because El Marga’s specialty magic, ‘Space Control Art’, snatched my bracelet.

‘As expected, it’s different from other people.’

However, I was not embarrassed by the unprecedented situation of not being able to wear the gauntlet.

This is because I welcome this situation in the first place.

The moment I put on the suit, it was confirmed that I would beat Lucas, and all I could gain from this match was this kind of improvisation.

So, when I was attacked by surprise before I even put on the suit.

To become a truly strong person, you needed the strength to prepare for any situation.

The devils do not pay attention to you even if you say you are thinking about dinner menu or because you are not wearing a suit.

“Can you stop me without the gauntlet?”

At that time, Lucas closed the distance in an instant and swung his fist at me.

I quickly took a defensive stance, but Lucas’ fist suddenly disappeared into thin air and appeared behind me.

This was also El Marga’s technique of freely playing with space.

“Ugh!”

A strong shock felt in the back.

If the entire body had not been strengthened, it would have ended with the previous blow.

Compared to an ordinary cadet, he had more mana and was able to withstand the blow just now.

“After all, you are nothing without a suit.”

But the blow from earlier was only the beginning.

Countless attacks began to pour in with unpredictable patterns, front, back, left and right.

I had no choice but to be helplessly attacked by this guy.

‘Emotions are mixed.’

However, his attack was filled with emotion.

I have personal feelings.

I thought I knew roughly what the reason was.

“Just like I heard, he’s a mama’s boy.”

So I provoked him.

The face of the guy who was attacking in a trance became distorted.

From noble mtl dot com

For a guy who always smiled like a prince from romance comics, this is the first time I’ve seen such a devil-like face.

“How dare you!”

And when emotions take over, gaps are bound to appear.

While he was angry, I quickly summoned web shooters and attached them.

And then I shot a genetically modified spider web through the guy’s face─

-Whoop!

But it came back to me.

The space control technique turned my spider web in reverse.

-Phew!

I shot another spider web to offset the returning spider web.

Two spider webs tangled in the air and fell to the floor.

“Are you trying to provoke me? “It was quite good.”

Soon, the guy who controlled his emotions started attacking me again.

Now that they even summoned weapons to attack, the intensity of tension had to be increased even more.

-Phew!

In the meantime, a dagger got stuck in my foot.

The attack was allowed due to lack of mana delivery to the instep.

-Cheeek!

I immediately administered first aid.

I pulled out the dagger, switched to web shooter mode, and shot a healing spider web at the top of my foot.

The bleeding area was blocked and the pain began to subside.

“It will be less painful to surrender as quickly as possible.”

At that time, a crack appeared in the air and Lucas’ weapon began to appear.

Dozens of daggers floating in the air.

The early version of the Igigeo sword, which would later slaughter thousands and tens of thousands of demons, was pointed at me.

Now it will distort those dozens of black spaces and target me from all directions.

‘I guess I should start to get nervous.’

The guy’s expression is serious.

Did Mama Boy’s drip really work?

Before he attacked, I took out a smoke bomb from his pocket.

When the smoke bomb was used, the entire area immediately began to be covered with smoke.

“Kkkkk. Do you think you can hide with something like that? “No way, Edgar Fix.”

However, amid the black smoke, its eyes were shining blue.

Open your clear eyes and see through yourself.

-Shuung! Huh! Shooooo!

Still, the accuracy of the attack clearly dropped.

Dozens of daggers rained down on him, but surprisingly he was able to avoid them.

While I was frantically dodging his attacks, the location of my bracelet finally came into view.

I put it away in that corner.

-Paaat!

I reached for the bracelet.

Then, like Thor’s hammer, my bracelet flew towards me and wrapped around my wrist.

Tsarbarin-The sound of the metal that is elaborately interlocked and the sound of the sound of the metal began to sound.

-Pa-ang!

Then, mana waves erupted and the smoke screen cleared in an instant.

When I put the bracelet on, the guy felt nervous and removed the smoke screen.

-Key—eee!

However, I was not the only one being protected by the smokescreen.

I immediately fired a repulsor beam at the guy who revealed himself.

And then he fired the web shooter at the guy’s left foot.

-Whoop!

However, the first repulsor beam disappeared due to the guy’s spatial control.

“Ugh!”

And then it stuck with me again.

There was considerable damage and the smell of burning flesh.

“I got caught in one.”

Still, it looks like it couldn’t stop the spider web.

I saw that his left foot was blocked by my genetically modified spider web.

“···Such a trick!”

However, as the guy gathered mana in his toes, the genetic spider web began to tear apart.

And I wasn’t stupid enough to just watch that scene.

The fact that he concentrated mana on his toes is proof that he is defenseless.

I immediately took advantage of this opportunity to summon the boots of my suit and put my feet in—

-Whoop!

─I thought it was there, but it disappeared again.

This guy’s technique is definitely very picky.

The nanosuit is too expensive.

“I don’t think it will work.”

If things continue like this, the suit will not be completed.

You need a way to make sure you save time.

So, I transformed the gauntlet into its form and pulled out the plasma blade.

And then started rushing towards the guy who was still caught in the spider web.

In the process, numerous daggers were thrown at me to stop me, but they were not that threatening.

This is because most of his mana was concentrated in his toes.

-Pudduk!

At the same time as he tore off the spider web, my plasma blade dug into his arms.

However, he distorted my attack by raising the corner of his mouth as if he had been waiting.

“Let your sword pierce you!”

The moment you think you’ve pierced the guy’s stomach, you feel a strange feeling of floating.

A bizarre sight with my hand aiming for my back.

“I knew that would happen.”

However, I already knew that Lucas enjoys using counter attacks like this.

The one who used the plasma blade was actually a fake, and my real attack was this way.

-Pushwiiiiit!

The ‘hallucinogenic powder’ that is shot into the guy’s face.

This was a valuable sample I obtained while helping Charlotte.

“Ugh!”

Lucas’ face was very distorted.

***

A hallucinogenic powder obtained from Edgar while training Charlotte.

This hallucinogenic powder had the effect of maximizing the user’s fear.

The moment she inhales this hallucinogenic powder, her five senses are instantly distorted, and the horrible vision she wants to see unfolds.

“Kikikikikikik…”

And the scene created by Lucas’ fear was quite shocking.

Edgar Fix was sitting on a chair arrogantly, making a sheepish expression and spitting.

And sitting next to him was none other than his own mother.

Even though Edgar Fix was putting his hand on her shoulder with a disturbing expression, he looked calm with a blushing expression on his face.

Finally, unbelievable words came out of her mother’s mouth.

“Lucas… I have to say hello to my father.”
