I Became an Academy Mechanic Genius

62 – Preparing for Liquidation

never leave my mind

The love story of Dagran and Reina.

Why does their love story that ended in tragedy linger in my head like this?

They are mere extras who do not even appear in the main game.

‘Isabella.’

Maybe it’s because it reminds me of Isabella.

Every time I ride the Isabella route, it stimulates my sorrow for losing her each time.

Even so, Isabella and Raina resemble each other.

Reina is emotionally disabled, unable to feel any emotion at all, while Isabella lives a life where she is forced to hide her emotions.

denial.

In order for Isabella to be recognized as the next head of household, she must accumulate as many negative emotions as possible.

The stronger the negative emotion, the more powerful it will be.

But here, I was able to get a hint from Dagran and Raina’s story.

Even the obsidian, designed to absorb only ‘feelings of hatred’.

Wasn’t the obsidian sword eventually born with Reina’s powerful thoughts dwelling in it?

Then, wouldn’t the long tradition of the Graham family, which was designed to accumulate only negative emotions, be related to some kind of thought?

What if their destiny, inevitably accumulating negative emotions, is manipulated by some powerful thought?

‘I can save Isabella.’

In the end, it means that if you get rid of that thought, you can be free.

The story of Isabella, which was greeted with tragedy every time, may unfold in a different way this time.

“Of course, it is not a fundamental solution.”

However, being liberated from that thought does not end it.

Fundamentally, the reason why the Graham family is obsessed with such thoughts must be because of the oldest great northern devil.

That’s also true, because Isabella in the second half of the game muttered, ‘I must stop that devil’, and there were several episodes where she abandoned everyone she actually loved and left for a northern blizzard. .

“The point is to kill that bastard.”

Some bastard from the North who always got Isabella at a loss.

In the end, if you defeat the archevil, everything will be resolved.

Of course, as Ekayan, who devastated the Dwarf border area, was only a ‘lower class’, the ancient great devil would not be an easy opponent.

“I don’t know.”

If so, make it easy.

I just need to use all my knowledge and experience to create a powerful weapon that will cut him down.

So what is that powerful weapon?

Crucible.

It is a different world version of Crucible.

The sword of hell carried by ‘that guy’.

I intend to make that infernal sword.

It was thanks to the story of Dagran and Raina that gave me a motive.

‘I overlooked the power of emotions too much.’

So far, I have not given importance to the power of emotions.

I was only thinking of destroying the enemy by mechanically designing the four forces that work in physics.

‘This world is another world.’

But this was another world.

In other words, the power of emotions combined with mana cannot be ignored.

As proof of that, Reina, who was only an intermediate level sword expert, single-handedly wiped out all the monsters that invaded the border area.

Among them, there was even Ekayan, a ‘lower’ demon.

Considering her level, she really did a tremendous job.

So I plan to use the memory-engraving technique to create an upgraded black yodo.

The black yodo to be named Crucible.

But here, some might raise a question.

He said that the reason Black Yodo was born was because of Reina’s powerful thoughts, and you don’t have that kind of thoughts.

A combination of memories and emotions.

They might ask if my resentment is lacking compared to Reina’s.

“…”

Yes, maybe you can consider it that way.

I just experienced this world through a game, and my reality was far from it.

While Reina lost her entire life, I only used up a playthrough.

‘But···.’

But not anymore.

Being possessed by this game, the memories of the previous rounds were upgraded to the same level as in my previous life.

Even now, when I think of the tragedy of the previous episode, my flesh trembles, my breathing quickens, and I vividly remember the last breaths of the girls who died in my arms.

Dozens of despair and tragedies are buried deep in the bones.

‘Not enough.’

So it is possible.

I will gather all the despair and hatred of dozens of times, and engrave a powerful thought to eradicate the devil.

Then, the thought will only accept the intense emotion of tearing the enemy to shreds, and the emotion of destruction will soon become the energy of hell itself.

The other world version of the Crucible, a demonic sword that accepts the power of the devil that only brings destruction, is completed.

***

Time passed by.

The day to leave for the Dwarven United Kingdom has come.

Fortunately, thanks to Elena’s efforts, Croto, Eguwa, and Argie were able to join the delegation this time.

When we gently praised them as heroes of 40 years ago, the guys who glorified the past themselves shrugged their shoulders and joined as special guests.

So we went to the ‘exchange’ and put our hands on the teleport magic orb.

Trade with the Dwarves was cut off, so it was not possible to teleport directly to the Dwarf United Kingdom, but it was possible to reach near the border.

“This is an envoy from the empire.”

Eventually, we arrived at the checkpoint of the Dwarf United Kingdom and presented our ID cards with an invitation letter.

The Dwarves looked at us rather coldly, but they let us in.

“We’ll start with the body.”

After entering the borders of the Dwarves, we went straight to find Reina’s body.

Because her body is still lying there where she died 40 years ago.

‘The public opinion at the time was unavoidable.’

Read at readwn.com

Like this, the dwarves did not hold a funeral for her.

It is because she misunderstands that she, in a fit of madness, slaughtered innocent people.

Of course, some dwarves who knew Reina well said that she couldn’t do that and strongly insisted that Reina’s funeral be held.

However, the dwarves who were present at the scene at the time clearly saw Rayna’s madness and hatred, and because Croto’s false testimony matched the situation, it was said that they had no choice but to lean towards public opinion that “Raina was struck by a monster and caught in madness.”

That’s how Reina is still left in the harsh cold for over 40 years.

“…you look very lonely.”

Eventually, Elena and I were able to reach the place where Reina’s body was.

It was because the location could be guessed through the seal containing her thoughts.

Thoughts, which are originally an aggregation of memories and emotions, react intensely to their owners.

“…prepare the coffin. I will restore it to its original appearance.”

Although frozen, the corpse is severely damaged after 40 years.

Fortunately, Elena had the ability to shape her memories in three dimensions.

Elena began to restore the corpse using that ability, and after a while the ugly dried-up corpse became a beautiful corpse that retained its original appearance.

“The coffin is ready.”

Meanwhile, I prepared the coffin.

It was a specially made coffin for today.

I placed Reina’s body and her thoughts together in the coffin, and activated the spell engraved on the coffin’s exterior.

Then the coffin glowed brightly and some work began to take place inside.

The rest of the work will be left to Isabella.

***

When we arrived at the temporary shelter set up in the border area, Croto and the others were talking about the past with drunken faces.

Tens of thousands of monsters flocked here, and it was an unreasonable bullshit that he was the hero who stopped them.

“Wow – that’s great! How could you do that!”

However, Enya was arguing against this.

Clarisse also reacted to their heroic stories with sparkling eyes as if looking at a hero.

It was to deceive Croto and the others.

In order for them to go to the capital of the Dwarf Kingdom without any suspicion, it was necessary to numb their senses by boosting their mood.

“Hey, a well-to-do commoner!”

But then, one of Croto’s friends who saw me passing by called me.

As I approached the guy and gave a light bow, the drunk guy spoke in a gruff tone.

“Hey, what is that floating object in the air~? What, it looks like a coffin?”

When I asked what it was for, he seemed curious about the coffin Elena was taking with her telekinesis.

He replied with a smile.

“This is a present for seniors.”

“Ah~? Gift?”

“Yes. Isn’t there an exhibition tomorrow? 40 years ago, equipment was placed in that coffin to honor the one who stood alone against a massive monster invasion. You will also like it very much.”

As soon as he hears my words, he laughs wide and bursts into a hearty laugh.

He tapped me on the shoulder and said.

“That… a guy who looks so pretty~~! The way you think is a man who is flawless! I know very well what honor is!”

A guy who giggles and drinks.

Enya stares at him with cold eyes and mutters a few swear words.

“…”

Meanwhile, Enya and I met our eyes.

I just said, ‘You’re doing well. Have a hard time,’ Enya muttered, and her face blushed and she nodded her head slightly.

“Then let’s go in. I still have work to do.”

“Ha ha ha! yes! It’s a big body, but I can’t get in the way! go inside! If you have some spare time, be my drinking buddy!”

The guy who looked me up and down and smacked his lips.

It seems that he has become old and senile, and has become more vicious than when he was young.

It wasn’t good for my stomach to keep his disgusting face even for a second, so I turned my head and went straight up to the second floor where Isabella was.

“I’m here?”

Eventually, when we opened Isabella’s door, she greeted us with a friendly smile.

She glanced at the coffin containing the corpse, then raised the corners of her mouth as a black haze radiated all over her body.

“Wow… that’s great? It’s been a long time since I’ve had such intense hatred.”

Isabella raises her body with an excited face as if meeting an old friend.

Eventually, when the coffin was put down and opened, Isabella looked at Reina with a flushed face and murmured.

“It’s amazing… Such pure hatred…”

Saying that, Isabella lifted Reina’s gaze.

Then, hugging it tightly, he began to mutter strange words to himself.

“Yeah… it was very difficult… yeah… yeah. I understand your feelings… yes…”

“…”

Elena and I just stared blankly at it.

Dealing with negative emotions is a special ability that only the Grahams can pull off, so Elena and I couldn’t help but find the sight odd.

“Yeah… that’s a good idea. Let’s pluck out the eyeballs. Wring that filthy three-inch tongue, then shove your guts out… yup… ♥ What a great idea… ♥”

Isabella muttering eerie words over and over again.

At this, as if we had made a promise, our gazes met.

We could read each other’s thoughts, as if we were telepathic.

They quickly agreed to get out of here.

“Hey, hey, Isabella. Then have a good talk… Ooh, we’ll be back later…”

So, after we told Isabella the news in a low voice, barely audible to her, we began to withdraw from her room.

We slowly moved away from the room, sneaking backwards so that Isabella wouldn’t sense our presence.

“…!!!”

But as soon as I was about to close Isabella’s door.

Suddenly, Reina’s body began to move.

The droopy girl rose up and suddenly embraced Isabella.

Then Isabella’s whisper began to speed up.

It was a rapid-fire cannon like a fanatic’s spell.

“yes. great. very good. They make so many holes that they squirt fountains of blood, tear off every piece of flesh, and then pour something really hot into their mouths. After that, we can see each other’s guts with our own two eyes—”

…but then.

Isabella’s spell popped and stopped.

Then, the faces of Isabella and Reina, who were facing each other, turned to us at the same time.

The pupils of the two women were all black.

“Whoa!”

“Kyaaa!”

Me and Elena slam the door! He escaped from the spot as if he had closed it and ran away.

***

The next day, we came up to the capital of the Dwarf United Kingdom.

It was to prepare for the exhibition.

“Ed, can we install lights here?”

“uh. right there”

“Can we do the welcome ceremony here?”

“Yes. You can do it there.”

And we started to set up according to the last order assigned to us.

Since it’s not just about displaying things, there were a lot of things to set up.

However, I had 7 assistants, so I was able to complete the setting perfectly on time.

“Ahh-. Let’s start the Iron Hammer exhibition from now on. We ask all the participants to gather behind the stage, and the distinguished guests to their seats…”

Eventually, the exhibition began.

The most prestigious exhibition of blacksmiths, proud of history and tradition, has just begun.

However, our order number was the 3rd order number.

He was being ignored by the Dwarves.

Because the most anticipated entry is assigned a later order.

‘doesn’t care. We’ll forget everything behind us anyway.’

But it doesn’t matter.

Our goods will cause ripples throughout the Dwarf United Kingdom.

The ripple will remove the hideous film overlaid with lies, and finally restore the glory of the hero who has fallen to the ground.

The deceitful man’s lies will be exposed all over the world, and the evil karma of the wicked man who has been withheld for a long time will finally be liquidated.

By means of the returned holy sword, the ‘Emotion Guider’.
