I Became an Academy Mechanic Genius

153 – I made a mistake back then

Although I received a request from the club members, creating a ‘Magic Engineering’ department was something I also wanted.

Spreading modern science and technology will definitely be beneficial in protecting the world.

So, I asked Elena if it would be possible for her to be appointed as a head professor in the ‘Magic Engineering’ department rather than as a visiting professor.

Elena asked if it was important to protect this world, and I answered yes.

“Then we have to make it happen even if it doesn’t work out.”

Elena said that and went to the princess.

And three days later, an answer was given that unanimous consent from academy directors and professors was needed to create a department.

Although there are conditions, it is possible to create a department.

“Thank you, Master.”

“Thank you. It’s not over yet. All professors must agree. “Some professors are jealous of you.”

“Hmm. Then I guess I’ll have to figure it out.”

However, among the professors, there were some who did not like me.

It was obvious without even looking at the reason why they were so old-fashioned and authoritative that they looked down on me.

So I went to the academy professors with a gift.

He called them politely, ‘Senior Master’ and gave them gifts they thought they would like.

“P, Lord Fix! No, all of this…”

“Isn’t it all thanks to my senior teachers embracing me that I was able to come this far? “I should have said hello to you earlier, but I’m sorry for coming to you late.”

“····hahahahaha! No, no. “Let’s have some tea.”

So, I visited professors who disliked me, gave them gifts, and then had conversations with them.

After talking for about 20 minutes, I naturally said, ‘Actually, I misunderstood you.’

Because all they ask of me is ‘respect’.

In short, I had a cold feeling like, ‘A junior professor came in and didn’t even say hello, so I’m really disappointed.’

“···Hmm. I thought it would be quick, but it came really quickly. “Well, what are you holding in your hand?”

However, there were also professors who looked down on me from the beginning.

He hates me for no particular reason.

So, I decided to hate that professor for no reason.

“Professor. Do you want to be fired?”

“····W-what!?”

“If I put it bluntly, you don’t understand it? “Do you want to be fired?”

“·······.”

The old professor immediately frowned and stiffened when he crossed his legs.

I felt like I couldn’t understand the topic, so it seemed like there was a need to make me realize the reality.

“Listen carefully. The taxes I pay to the imperial family every month are tens of billions of dollars. “It is an amount equivalent to 50% of the total taxes collected by the imperial family.”

“······.”

“On the other hand, I heard your fiefdom has something stuck in the basement? What, are you paying a lot of taxes just to get it all at once? “Is this a surprise event for Your Majesty?”

“Well, how do you do that…”

“That’s what it means to be loved by the royal family. If I want to know, I can. “If I want to squeeze you, I can.”

“······.”

“So, senior teacher. Please understand when I say something nice. “You also get a gift.”

I said that and gave him gift number 2 instead of gift number 1.

Gift number 1 is a gift to a professor who cooperates with me.

Gift number 2 is a gift I give to the professor who is threatening me.

“·····This, this, this…”

And the expression of the professor who received gift number 2 became contemplative.

This is because it is a photo of the man’s illegitimate son meeting his mistress.

“Hey – it came out well, right? “There are more than this, but I gave you the best one.”

“My, I was wrong! All this time… I’ve been misunderstanding you all this time! This is how I apologize! Please just this…!”

“Ah, is the misunderstanding finally resolved? “That’s a good thing.”

I said that and burned the photo I gave the professor.

And then he threw the first gift he brought to the professor and said,

“So, can you understand me now?”

“Mu, wu, of course! Just say anything! “I will do whatever you say!”

“Why so much? “You just have to behave yourself so you don’t have to see it again.”

I said that and left the professor’s guidance room.

Now that I had all the faculty on my side, it was time to visit the board of directors.

The board of directors were the noble families that provided the most funds to establish the academy, and the 4th duke’s family and the wealthy count’s family were at the center.

“hahahahaha! This is someone! “Isn’t this our Fix son-in-law!”

So I started touring the duke family.

Starting with the nearest Cruel territory.

Sword Saint Illiya greeted me with a bright smile.

“It’s been a while since I greeted you. “Have you been safe so far?”

“hahahaha! I am doing very well thanks to you! Thanks to your actions, Klendor collapsed completely. “It feels like a decade-old congestion has been lifted!”

The Kingdom of Clendor was recently reorganized into the Bianca system after experiencing a civil war.

Now, Clendor no longer claimed to be an ’emperor.’

This is because Bianca promised to serve the empire as promised to me.

It was exciting news for Illiya, who had been an enemy of Klendor for a long time.

“Come on! Ruler! If a VIP comes and you leave them outside like this, I’ll get scolded! “Let’s go inside!”

So, I entered the castle under Ileiya’s escort.

The air conditioner inside the castle was fully operational, so it was very cool and comfortable.

Ileiya let me fly once again, saying that thanks to me, she is having a cool summer.

“Come on! Enjoy! Also, isn’t our southern region famous for its cuisine?”

Soon we arrived at the dining room and started eating dinner.

At first glance, there were a lot of dishes that looked like a lot of effort had been put into them.

‘····Hmm?’

And surprisingly, there was kimchi stew among them.

There is also Macbeth’s pork that has been cooked to a crisp.

This was a part where we could see how much care Grand Duke Ileiya had put into this event today.

“The meal suits my taste just right. Thank you for your hospitality.”

“hahahaha! No! On the contrary, I am grateful that I learned about good cooking thanks to you.”

Ilaiya and I started talking about various things, starting with cooking.

In the meantime, Ileiya said he had begun to implement policies for the commoners, and he asked what his policies were like as a former commoner.

Honestly, they are all great policies, so I said they were good policies.

However, I was clearly aware that Ileiya’s question was a ‘self-appeal.’

This is deliberately showing me, a former commoner, that I care about commoners.

“Ah! Come to think of it, there’s a commoner couple I recently became friends with. Well, recently that couple…”

Afterwards, Ileiya started talking about a commoner couple.

To summarize, her wife had a late pregnancy at the age of 38, and when she gave birth, she was told that she was a disabled child.

“Isn’t it really scary…? They were a very healthy couple. After all, you can’t lie about your age. Well, don’t we nobles who have mana often have children with disabilities due to old age?”

Ileiya then emphasized that the danger of old age cannot be ignored and that it is better to marry a younger woman if possible.

I heard those words sound like, ‘Don’t even dream of marrying your sponsor, Adela.’ I couldn’t help but laugh.

‘Adelara·····.’

But to say that, Adela was my type.

A unique atmosphere with a glamorous body and a sultry feel.

That defenseless expression that sometimes looks at me with blank eyes.

Although she was 36 years old, she was beautiful enough to attract men.

If you don’t know their age, at first glance they may look like they are in their 20s.

That’s probably why Illiya keeps things in check.

‘Well, I have no intention of marrying Adela.’

It’s just that she is s*xually attracted to him.

She has no intention of marrying Adela.

This is because the moment I connect with someone, my ties with other heroines are cut off.

However, this does not mean that I want to start a fishing farm. It means that if I want to raise them, I have no choice but to maintain the current relationship, which is not ideal.

I don’t know when this balance will be broken.

“Do you… do you remember that day?”

At that time, Ileiya paused and asked, ‘Do you remember that day?’

I wondered what ‘that day’ meant, and when I asked what day it was, it was Elijah who mentioned the day he and I first met.

So, that was the day I was kidnapped by Ileiya during lunch and heard a warning that wasn’t a warning.

I replied that of course I remembered, and Ileiya responded with an embarrassed smile.

“·····Can you forget? I think I made a mistake. For a man like you to be my daughter’s boyfriend. “I didn’t recognize your value back then.”

In the past, Illiya suggested that I become Enya’s boyfriend.

Here, Namchong refers to a male concubine.

In other words, it means dedicating my skills and talents to be loved by Enya, who has become the Grand Empress.

At that time, I was just a lucky commoner who entered the academy.

“····If it’s about that suggestion, it’s okay. “It was a natural offer at the time.”

But I said it was okay and smiled.

Ileiya must have thought that she was providing an exceptional benefit.

At that time, it was quite unconventional for a commoner to become the Empress’s favorite male friend.

“····Thank you for thinking that way. “You might feel bad.”

“hahahaha. It’s all in the past. Never mind.”

Conversing with Ileiya again, I felt like the world had changed.

Well, not that much time has passed, but the situation has turned around so much in that short period of time.

Ileiya, who suggested a male gun to me in an overbearing manner, looked at me and apologized.

In order to do something, he had to prove his ability and gain strength first.

In that sense, this ‘establishment of the Department of Magical Engineering’ will give me new strength.

It is an act of spreading the germ of modern physics to this world.

“·····Can you forget? I think I made a mistake. For a man like you to be my daughter’s boyfriend. “I didn’t recognize your value back then.”

Meanwhile, Enya, who was hiding behind the wall and listening to Illiya and Ed’s conversation, froze.

Your idol and muse. And it was because I found out that he had offered something like a ‘boyfriend’ to the person he loved with all his heart.

How could you make such a degrading suggestion to a noble man like Ed?

Aren’t men’s guns like toys that rich, lustful widowed noblewomen often take advantage of?

“Haa…Haa…”

Hyperventilation occurred.

I can’t believe my dependable father, who always supported me, offered me such a dirty position.

And that goes to Ed, whom he respects and loves the most.

-Turbuk···Turbuk···

Enya walked away with a shocked face.

If this was going to happen, she should have stayed in class instead of skipping class.

He found out that his father, and no one else, had insulted Ed.

‘Ed····.’

His heart became heavy, as if a stone had been placed on it.
