I Became an Academy Mechanic Genius

13 – 2 weeks before admission

mana conversion.

The act of making mana dwell in the mind and body.

I am currently doing mana conversion.

It is to activate the mana receptors so that you can move all over your body by accepting the mana spread in the air.

-Go oh oh oh…

However, my mana conversion is different from normal mana conversion.

Compared to normal wizards, the number of natural mana receptors is significantly smaller, so the amount of mana they can accept is limited.

So the way I accept mana is different from other wizards.

While other wizards activate the mana receptors in the brain to receive mana, I activate the core mana stone in the center of the chest to receive mana.

The mana stones that look like Iron Man’s ‘Arch Reactor’ emit bright light and absorb the mana in the air.

-Geee

And the amount of mana absorbed by this huge mana stone is 5 times higher than that of a normal magician.

In the first place, unless it was a monster like Elena, humans could not defeat the mana stone, a mineral specialized in absorbing mana.

“Whoa…”

And at this point, I took a deep breath.

Having successfully completed the first stage of accepting mana into the body, it is time to move on to the next stage.

‘Moves mana throughout the body.’

So I drew a certain spell in my mind.

‘wave’ and ‘transmission’. And it was a combination of the ‘distribution’ formula.

I drew the spell Elena taught me in my mind and then activated it.

Then, the mana receptors in my brain began to contain the image information and move to the core mana stone.

It was to activate the magic formula I drew by transferring it to the core mana stone.

-Geeeing…

Information about the magic formula that reached the core mana stone.

The core mana stone interpreted the magic information transmitted by my mana receptor and began to implement it.

It is to distribute mana evenly to the mana stones spread all over the body.

-Soooooooo…

So I could feel mana running through my body.

Chest, shoulders, arms, wrists, hands, stomach, waist, thighs, calves, feet, etc.

The mana stones planted in all parts of the body accepted the mana, and a blue haze rose from the whole body.

‘Mana conversion’, a state in which mana circulates throughout the body, has been completed.

“······her.”

And Elena laughed out loud when she saw me like this.

Having witnessed the complete destruction of common sense in front of her eyes, even the great mage Elena would have no choice but to lose her composure.

“Really, this is… how… acquired mana…”

Originally, something that could not exist in this world.

Mana was the exclusive possession and power of the nobles.

How to handle mana, genes that handle mana, and skills that utilize mana.

All of that was passed down only to their descendants.

“For now, the first step seems to have been successful.”

But not anymore.

Highly advanced science is like magic, so I was able to enter the middle of their domain with only my skills.

“Whoa… yes. Seeing that mana circulates throughout your body… it seems like you succeeded.”

“Thanks to Master.”

“It is thanks to me. it’s all you did There, the poison emitted from the mana stone is also well purified.”

Just as Elena had said, toxic substances were being discharged from the mana stones planted throughout her body.

The biggest flaw of the Mana Stones happened without fail.

However, I designed all of the toxic substances to be gathered into the ‘purification stone’, and the purification stone was successfully fulfilling its role.

It is to remove toxic substances with the technique of ‘Gong-destruction’ that was discovered while dissecting the blue dragon’s body.

“Then let’s move on to the next step.”

next stage.

Now that you’ve succeeded in spreading mana all over your body, it’s time to use it.

In my mind, I recalled the ‘Enhancement’ spell and ‘A1’ at the same time.

Then, he passed the command to the core mana stone to activate it.

Then, a mana stone corresponding to A1.

In other words, the mana stone planted in the right palm was activated, and the palm began to strengthen.

Kwajik!

And I thrust my strengthened fist straight into the ground.

Jjeok- The marble cracked and cracked.

My command to ‘strengthen only the right hand’ was successful.

“…If it’s that powerful, it should be about an advanced sword user.”

Read at readwn.com

Looking at the cracked ground, Elena evaluated the destructive power as that of an ‘advanced sword user’.

Sword users are the next level after sword runners among the ranks of swordsmen, and most aspiring knights who usually enter the Imperial Academy fall under this rank.

“The more you know, the more amazing it is. It’s the sword user stage from the beginning. Normally, I would have to start as a sword runner and roll for four more years.”

As Elena said.

Due to the setting of ‘El Pandor Runeterra’, it is common for aspiring knights to start with a sword runner.

Only a few gifted criminals can be judged as a sword user while learning the sword.

‘Well, prestigious knight families are sword experts from the start.’

However, among the great swordsmen who left their names in history, there was a case where they were judged as ‘Sword Expert’ right from the start.

And in the case of the present age, ‘Enya’ of the ‘Cruel’ family, a prestigious knight family, was the case.

She is also an academy student who will participate in the entrance ceremony to be held in two weeks, and is one of the main NPCs to lead this era.

“Anyway, with that level of ability, starting as a knight isn’t bad either. Anyway, there must be a limit to how to deal with magic formulas.”

Then, I nodded at Elena’s words.

This is because, as she said, there are clear limitations to using magic.

It’s not wrong, right now I can only use the spells engraved on the core mana stones.

Wave, Transmission, Distribution, Enhancement, Elemental Transmutation, Discharge.

That means these 6 are all I can use.

‘Because it borrowed the blue dragon’s mechanism in the first place.’

Blue Dragon.

The object can only use mana to strengthen its body or fire a breath.

This is because all commands are processed with one core mana stone instead of hundreds and thousands of mana receptors.

Therefore, I borrowed their system as it is, and all I could do was release the four elements or strengthen my body.

As obvious as the strengths are, the drawbacks are also clear.

“‘For now’, let’s make it an article.”

But, as always, I had no intention of accepting it.

Right now, I have no choice but to accept my situation, and if I upgrade my mana stones and build a new system, I will be able to overcome these limitations.

It’s just a prototype anyway.

***

After successfully completing the mana stone transplant operation.

I started digging a route to infiltrate the classroom.

Now, in two weeks, the entrance ceremony will begin and various classes will be held, so it was necessary to develop an infiltration route in order to cross the river.

‘Since I decided to take the position of a knight, I should learn swordsmanship.’

So, the first place to start digging the route is the 11th lecture room where Professor ‘Gracia’ lectures.

The swordsmanship taught by Professor Gracia, one of the five sword masters of the Empire, would surely be of great help to me.

I decided to stick with the knight position for the time being, so I plan to learn hard even if I have to cross the river.

“Ed, the head professor is calling.”

In the midst of thinking about how to remodel the ventilation in the 11th classroom.

James told me that Elena was calling me.

James now looks at me with proud eyes every day, knowing only that Elena supports me.

It must be because I am the only commoner of my age who excels this well.

“Hmm. I’m sorry I keep falling out. I feel like my father is working alone.”

“Keukkeuk. Come on. Dad can do this much by himself. Never mind me.”

After hanging out with Elena for the past few days.

James has done almost all the work needed to open the academy.

Well, even if there is a lot of work, James can hit it off enough because he is quick enough, but I felt sorry that I never helped him even though I came as an assistant.

“Come on, Professor, I will wait for you.”

“I will quickly come and help you.”

So today I tried to help James, but I couldn’t help it when Elena called.

Above all, my growth is the most important.

“Master, this is Ed.”

So, putting aside my apologetic feelings toward James for a while, I went to Elena’s office.

Eventually, I was given permission to come in, and when I opened the door and entered, Elena greeted me with a smile.

While fluttering a letter in his hand.

“Master. Because you called.”

“Whoops, yes. I have good news. Sit there first.”

Elena seems to be in a particularly good mood.

What kind of news is it that makes you look so excited?

I sat down on the sofa as I ordered, brought a teacup in front of me and poured black tea.

Pouring tea means it’s going to be a long story.

While I was guessing what the news would be like, Elena sat down on the sofa across from me and poured black tea into her own teacup.

Hurup─ After taking a sip of black tea, Elena held out the letter she was holding in her hand toward me.

she said, sipping tea again.

“Ed. The pattern on the letter, do you know what it is?”

A pattern in the letter?

Wanting something, I took a closer look and found that it was the pattern of the imperial family.

“Um… isn’t this the imperial family’s pattern?”

“yes. It is the emblem of the imperial family. That’s a heartwarming official letter that just arrived from the imperial family. Would you like to read it?”

It’s an official letter from the imperial family.

Did Elena do something for me?

I opened the letter with subtle anticipation.

Inside the letter, there were countless dense letters.

However, to summarize the content, it was that it was okay to accept me as an academy student.

“… Master. This·····.”

“yes. You can enter here too.”

···oh my god.

This was truly a hit.

To think that a commoner could act as an academy student.

Something that had never been allowed in history was applied exceptionally to me.

That means you don’t have to wade through the air vents!

“···thank you. Actually, there are many things I want to learn here.”

“Whoops. It didn’t look that way anyway. Same goes for saying that I want to stay at the academy. The same goes for wanting to take me as a teacher. And above all else, the nightmare you have… To get rid of it, it would be best to build up your strength here.”

“…”

Well.

Certainly, Elena seems to feel sympathy for me.

Seeing how he was so conscious of the nightmare story he brought up as a makeshift way.

“It’s just a dream, but thank you for caring about it.”

“Nope. I know how you feel too. It feels like being chased by a dream. It’s a feeling that only I can know. Only you and I can know.”

A feeling that only the two of you can understand?

There is something strange about the nuance of saying this.

Only I can understand you, it’s not like that.

Elena’s hidden event shouldn’t be triggered already.

“Chemm. Anyway thank you so much Enlisting me, a commoner, here… wouldn’t have been that easy.”

There was something strange in Elena’s eyes, so she hurriedly changed the subject, pretending to say thank you.

Then Elena took a cup of tea and buried herself on the sofa.

“Well. There were a lot of things to take care of here and there. There were some deals too. But well, getting you here is the most important thing.”

Saying that, Elena took a sip of the tea.

Then he set it down on the table again and continued.

“However, there are some conditions attached. You know that from reading the correspondence, right?”

“····Yes.”

Conditions for being an admitted student.

Of course I know because I read it.

The reason I was able to enter the academy was because of Elena’s promise to make the first human blacksmith to be given the title of ‘Creation’.

For this reason, I had to prove my skills, and the way I did it was to make equipment once a month and put it on the faculty.

Then, after going through the examination with three examiners dispatched from the imperial family, the condition is that if they pass, they will retain their admission status, and if they do not pass, they will be immediately expelled.

“···yes. I don’t think I’ll fail the test. You know how to do it well.”

And Elena pushed for my admission, even sticking to these conditions.

Because you trust me that much.

“Sure. Who am I?”

So I reciprocated her trust with confidence.

Elena smiled and said.

“Huh, I’m embarrassed to be treated like a teacher even though I didn’t teach anything. Anyway, Ed, you will be attending class under the pretext of field trips necessary for making equipment. So, your seats will be assigned separately… That is assigned at the discretion of the professor, so there may be discrimination.”

it’s discrimination

That’s what I’ve already been prepared for.

There was no way I would leave a commoner mingled with high-nosed aristocrats.

“It doesn’t matter. Even if you can take classes, where is it?”

“… Huhu. yes. And as you know, the entrance ceremony will be held in two weeks. You will be there too.”

“Yes.”

“And, the ‘class match’ held after the entrance ceremony. I plan to participate there as well.”

class decision.

It is a ranking game held every quarter.

In this class match, academy cadets duel with unlimited rules, and are assigned classes of S to E depending on the result.

‘And it’s better to be assigned to a high-grade class unconditionally.’

Imperial Imperial Academy.

There is systematic discrimination there.

This is because S class cadets can take all lectures, but cadets below them can only take lectures corresponding to their grade.

“So, my disciple. Can you get good grades?”

For this reason, you should bet everything before deciding on a class.

In order to prepare for the ‘destruction’ scenario, it is necessary to take all the lectures.

“Yes, of course. I’ll try to get an S grade.”
