I Became an Academy Mechanic Genius

36 – fight

Silence fell once again in the classroom.

Everyone stared blankly at the sleek, jet-black suit.

Even Gracia, who had barely changed her expression, seemed surprised this time.

However, I calmly continued my presentation.

“Of course you can think like this. Aren’t you trembling too much with only one suit on?”

A few groups of people who make faces at my words.

When the group who hated me from before revealed their thoughts, they put on a puzzled expression.

In response, I continued my conversation by using a plasma mana shield.

“But this suit is no ordinary suit. It’s a suit I’ve been working on for a long time to solve my chronic problem. The disadvantage that I mentioned earlier that it is difficult to use distinctive weapon skills due to the well-distributed mana volume turns into an advantage the moment you wear this suit. I can control even the smallest functions of the suit like this.”

A plasma mana shield that spreads in a circle centered on me.

The reason why the mana shield covers my whole body like this is because I have a lot of mana volume.

If the mana volume had not been well spread out, it would have been impossible to have such precise control.

“In addition to this, I have developed several features to compensate for my shortcomings. I also made a device like this to save mobility.”

Saying that, I tightened my wrist and fired the web shooter.

Then, a black wire made of carbon nanotubes and Ungoliant spider silk was shot into the air.

On the outside, it looked like a long, thin mucus extracted from Venom’s body.

This is because the visuals have been tweaked to fit the concept of the ‘Devil Suit’.

“I can’t show it properly because the place is limited, but if you use this wire, guerrilla combat is possible using the terrain. It can also be useful for firing at enemies to block their movement. The tip of this wire has a tremendous viscous function.”

I said that and tried to pull the wire attached to the ceiling.

The cadets nodded their heads after confirming that the wire did not break no matter how much force they exerted.

“Aside from that, of course, it also serves as armor. It has a built-in mana stone, so the enhancement function works by default. Of course, you need to supply mana to do that, but I have a huge amount of mana in my chest. It means that you have the right body to operate this suit.”

In other words, it is perfect as a human battery.

Of course, it was because I implanted mana stones into my body with this in mind, but in the eyes of the cadets, it would look like an idea that completely overcome my weaknesses.

“…well, that’s right. I can’t use great spells, and I can’t use distinctive swordsmanship. However, I can continue to upgrade this suit. I am Edgar Fix, the blacksmith.”

After introducing the functions of the suit I had developed, I concluded my presentation by talking about my identity.

While everyone was silent, Professor Gracia nodded and put his hand on my shoulder.

“Impressive, Edgar Fix. It’s not enough to perfectly complement your weaknesses and turn them into strengths. yes. Being myself the most is the way to become the strongest. Everyone, like Edgar Fix, find out what ‘is me the most’. There will be a road there.”

Professor Gracia gave a message to the cadets using my case as an example.

Then he added that he had high expectations from me in the future, and asked if I could borrow a suit later.

Of course, that is nonsensical.

“It is a joke. Let’s go in.”

However, after reading my expression, Gracia smiled and sent me away.

I stood on the fix again and waited for the suit to disintegrate.

Pix unscrewed the screws on his own, retrieved the parts of the suit one by one, and began to store them in his body.

In the reverse order of putting on the suit, only the boots of the devil suit were left at the end, and when the boots were taken off, the fix was transformed into a yellow iron safe box, and the dismantling of the suit was complete.

-Pajijik!

Eventually, after putting the fix and gauntlet into my inventory, I returned to my party and sat down.

However, the eyes of the party looking at me were different.

Intense eyes staring at me with burning eyes, like a child with a lot of things he wants to ask.

When break time comes, I should be prepared for a flood of questions.

***

After class, lunch time came.

As the group moved to the restaurant, Charlotte broke free from Ed’s group.

It was because there were as many as three women from the Duke’s family, and she already had members having lunch together.

Those members were P.O and Taylor, who were on the same team in the first game.

“Ed! long time no see!”

“Why is it so hard to see your face?”

Pio and Taylor greeted Ed as soon as they saw him.

Ed also exchanged greetings with his comrades from the first round.

In the process, P.O and Taylor felt their own sense of superiority.

It’s because Edgar Fix pretends to know him and greets him warmly.

They were proud that their friend was Ed.

“Then enjoy your lunch!”

“yes. See you again”

Like that, Ed and Charlotte’s party briefly exchanged greetings and parted ways.

As soon as they were gone, Isabella smiled and said to Ed.

“commons. Isn’t the food served in the school cafeteria not so good? Our family’s dedicated chef has some skills, so how about eating at my house? It’s right after going through the exchange.”

Isabella recommends eating the duke’s special meal rather than learning.

Just said Enya, glaring at her.

“Well. I know that your family’s territory is not very developed in cooking, right? What could be called a special product in a land of freezing cold.”

Enya’s sharp point based on facts.

Isabella smiled and responded.

“So you said it earlier. It’s cooked by a dedicated chef. My family’s chef airlifts all the fresh ingredients through the exchange.”

“Even so, it is our family that has an expertise in cooking. Since ancient times, southern cuisine has been so famous that even His Majesty the Emperor often visits it.”

“Hmm~ yeah? But it’s a little hard to go there in this hot weather… isn’t it? How refreshing and nice it is to be blown by the northern wind in this weather.”

sweltering hot weather.

Like this, summer was coming to the academy before I knew it.

This is because spring is so short, and summer is set long for the service scenes (?) of major NPCs.

“Commoner, don’t you think so too?”

So, Isabella applied cold magic and sent a cool breeze to Ed.

Ed’s bangs fluttered, and the sweat on his forehead began to evaporate in the pleasant chill.

Isabella blew cold air all over her body to entice Ed even while she was sweating.

“Keuuu”

Because of this, Enya was furious.

The weather is so hot that you are already sweating where your skin touches.

In this hot weather, there is nothing more tempting than a cool north wind.

Isn’t he himself unconsciously fluttering the front island and raising the back of his head to cool off the heat in the back of his neck in an attempt to cool off the heat that has risen in his body?

So, Enya decided to make a last resort.

“That, then. Go all together!”

“…?”

“…When we were young, we often went to your house to play. Greetings to the Graham family after a long time. I want to see your sister too after a long time.”

Enya suggests that we all go to the Graham estate in the North.

However, Isabella was staring at Enya with an expressionless face.

Claire was looking at the two in a confrontation with interest.

Then Isabella spoke.

“Whoops. I guess the words you said back then were empty words? He said he would never come again.”

“·····It was worth it at the time.”

“Puhahahaha. Is it worth it? Being sensitive about playing a joke.”

“·····what?”

···joke.

The moment Isabella uttered the word, anger filled Enya’s pupils.

However, Isabella didn’t care and said with eyes that still provoked Enya.

“I’m just killing a dog raised at home—”

“shut up!”

But before she could speak, Enya rushed at her speed.

Then, Isabella’s eyes turned black, and she immediately cast a mind control spell on Enya.

“Keugh-! great…”

“Is it okay? Why do you resist so much? Do you think you are trained separately by the Cruel family?”

A mind-controlling spell with denial so strong that a normal cadet would want to harm themselves right away.

However, Enya was intensely resisting the mind control magic.

She has received various trainings since she was a child, so she is immune to most mental attacks even though she has not opened her ‘Blue Eye’ yet.

“I don’t want to fight with you. We just have different values. After all, that dog was my dog, right?”

However, Isabella said so and dispelled the magic.

The gloomy and thick aura that oppressed Enya was lifted in an instant.

However, Enya did not miss this opportunity and attacked Isabella.

Her fists slammed into Isabella’s face, sending her body to the ground.

“Haa…haa…haa…”

Enya looks down at Isabella with a very angry face.

Only Isabella was smiling as she licked the blood on her lips.

She stood up and brushed off the dust.

“To be simple. You just broke the school rules. It is forbidden to injure a cadet.”

“Haa… haa… So what, what?”

“If you report it, you will be punished right away?”

“sun. doesn’t care.”

“Whoops. it won’t shake i don’t hate you I will kindly forgive you.”

Saying that, Isabella twisted the corner of her mouth abnormally.

At the same time, a black haze rose around her body.

Seeing the scene, Enya frowned and lowered her head.

“Again… I did it on purpose. Do some work.”

“Whoops. Your anger was delicious♥”

Enya’s expression changed subtly and complexly.

While angry at Isabella, he seemed to have pity for her.

However, both Enya and Isabella were shocked by Claire’s words.

“…Hey, but guys. Edgar Fix, did he evaporate?”

“…?”

“Where have you been? It suddenly disappeared.”

***

It was while Isabella and Enya were arguing over where to eat.

Suddenly, a black shadow was created under my feet, and the space changed.

He was suddenly summoned to a strange room.

And in that room, a person I couldn’t believe was waiting for me.

The head of the Cruell family and Enya’s father.

And since there was Illya, the strongest swordsman in the Empire, called the ‘Sword Saint’.

“Forgive me for being rude, I don’t think it would be easy to talk to you alone. There are too many eyes.”

“…”

“…Oops, should I introduce myself first? I am Ilaya, the lord of the Cruell family. Nice to meet you, Edgar Fix.”
