I Became an Academy Mechanic Genius

81 – Chemical Weapon Development

Obsidian.

This magic sword, which was once an heirloom of the Sigmund family, now had its original form suitable for its intended purpose.

In the form of an ’emotional guide’ who can change people’s emotions into power.

However, the dwarves decided to hand over this holy sword, which was like a symbol of Dagran, to the Imperial Academy for three years.

This is because the person who forged the magic sword they discarded into a holy sword is Edgar Fix, and the blacksmith of salvation wants to inform the academy of the history of this holy sword.

Moreover, as it was a sword that was used as an heirloom of the Sigmund family until it was transformed into a holy sword, there were still many issues to be discussed regarding the ownership of this sword.

Just looking at the number of years, Reina has used this sword for 9 years, and the Sigmund family has used this sword for a whopping 27 years.

“Let’s make something new!”

So the dwarves decided to make a new sword.

A sword that resembles the properties of an obsidian sword as much as possible, but is an improved sword that does not harm the user.

“Is that what happened in the end?”

And Count Sigmund, who heard this news, obediently nodded his head.

Since his son had committed a serious crime, he had no choice but to accept whatever decision was made.

“It’s a new sword… “

Besides, they said they would make it by maximizing the characteristics of the obsidian, so it wasn’t such a bad deal.

As long as I have this sword, one day I will be able to dream of the resurrection of the Sigmund family again.

“Ugly guy…”

However, for the Sigmund family to stand up, Max had to stand up again.

The eldest son of the Sigmund family, who was perfect in everything, lost his life in the Great War seven years ago, so now the only child left to entrust the family’s future to is Max.

“·····.”

However, Max was completely broken.

After being kicked out of the academy after being defeated by Ed, he became a recluse who stayed in his room all day.

“Haa…”

At this, Count Sigmund sighed deeply.

Is his own discipline method wrong?

But that doesn’t mean my son was a born bully.

I had to correct him, even if it meant using somewhat forceful methods.

“Why can’t you learn anything from pain?”

Also, since Cairo believes that one can grow only through suffering, he deliberately treated his son harshly.

Didn’t he grow up angry by receiving all kinds of contempt and ridicule from his peers because he had an incompetent and ugly father?

Cairo hated that his family was being ignored.

His father’s attitude of always bowing down to others and begging for help was disgusting to the point of death.

Because of this, he was able to rise up on his own using his hatred of his father as a driving force.

There is no source of motivation in this world as strong as hatred and anger.

“Hans, I miss you…”

From noble mtl dot com

But Max was not born with such qualities.

He was just a bastard who was busy using the anger and hatred inside him to fill his own vanity.

If everything were perfect for Hans, he would have been able to believe in this humiliating defeat and rise up to become stronger.

“······.”

Cairo’s agony deepened again today.

***

A dark room where not a single light enters.

Max was covered in a blanket and biting his nails.

There were traces of peeling flesh all over the nails, and there were also traces of blood hardening into scabs.

His condition right now was not normal.

“hehehehe…Ummhehehe…hehehehe…”

Max laughs as if he’s sobbing.

After being expelled from the academy, he continued to live a life of self-loathing and self-abuse every day.

Not only did he not live up to his father’s expectations, but he also committed a foolish act that brought great shame to his family and even broke his family heirlooms.

Now all that was left for Max was endless anger and curses.

Anger at not being able to live up to his father’s expectations because he was not born with a talent for the sword.

But he was angry at his older brother, who, contrary to him, had natural talent and monopolized his father’s attention and affection.

He is angry at not having Enya, who can use beautiful swordsmanship to remind him of his older brother’s talent.

Just anger at Edgar Fixra, who so easily took over Enya’s icy heart.

····In the end, everything was a target of anger.

He hated the world, hated his family, and especially wanted to kill Edgar Fix.

After putting Edgar Fix’s severed head on her skewer, he wanted to shake it in front of Enya.

Then, I felt like the tightness in my heart would loosen up a little.

“hehehehe…hehehehe…hehehehe…”

Max smiled as he dreamed of that sweet moment.

Even if it was just a delusion, he felt good just thinking about being able to do something like that.

【I can make it happen.】

But the next moment.

Max’s expression suddenly hardened at the strange voice ringing in his head.

Perhaps because I haven’t been able to sleep recently, I have been suffering from these auditory hallucinations from time to time.

【Find me. Your wish will come true.】

However, the voice continued.

A mysterious voice that made my heart chill and my whole body tremble just by hearing it shook my dazed mind.

【I exist. It is not an illusion or a lie, it is waiting for you somewhere not far away. You are a special person who can receive my power.】

But suddenly this thought occurred to me.

What if this voice is not an auditory hallucination?

What if this voice is actually the voice of God, and you are a special person chosen by God?

“hehehehe…hehehehe…”

I feel better.

I thought that if I gained the power of a god, no one would be able to ignore me.

It felt like he could decapitate Edgar Fix’s face and skewer her.

-Sigh.

Max stood up.

Since I had to lose money anyway, I decided to follow the traces of the voice.

Now, the only thing he can rely on is this little expectation.

***

Lab.

I took a deep breath of the air in the laboratory that gave me a sense of stability.

It feels like coming home.

Although there was a mountain of work to do, it was always fun to come up with new ideas and implement them.

If I see you thinking about doing something again.

“Well, it’s a necessary process anyway.”

What I am currently trying to do.

That is the manufacture of ‘chemical weapons.’

This time, while extracting collagen or making bio ink, we realized the power of chemical action and decided to actively utilize it.

The first chemical weapon that came to mind was CS gas.

This is the only chemical weapon that I experienced personally when I was taken to the military.

How spicy was it during chemical, biological and biological training?

This is a guy who made me painfully experience the importance of air, something I never wanted to know.

‘It would be suitable for experimentation.’

However, CS gas only causes terrible pain and has little lethality itself.

So, it was adopted for chemical, biological and radiological training, and is also suitable for my experiments.

“Then let’s get started.”

Soon, I began to devise ideas for making CS gas.

What should I do first to make CS gas?

First, we need to understand the characteristics of CS gas.

CS gas is a substance that causes strong mucous membrane irritation. When it comes in contact with the skin and mucous membranes, our body’s defense system recognizes it as a dangerous substance.

For this reason, during the process of removing the lice, excessive secretion of tears, snot, saliva, etc. Is caused, and pain is felt as a result.

“It’s similar to Alpender.”

Then I thought of ‘Alpender.’

‘Alpender’ is a flower that blooms in the ‘Forest of Death’, which is classified as a high-risk area, and when an entity other than the one it recognizes approaches, it emits strong poison to protect itself.

This is because Alpender’s stem is full of condensed mana liquid.

“If we neutralize Alpender’s toxicity…”

Alpender’s toxicity has the effect of causing strong inflammation in the bronchi and eyes.

If you filter this well and manufacture it, you can create toxic substances such as CS gas.

“Fix, I’ll go out for a moment.”

“Weuuung~!”

So I went out to rescue Alpender.

Only the detoxified stems of Alpender are sold on the market, so it was necessary to go into the Forest of Death and collect them.

-Key—eee!

So, armed to the teeth with a suit, I swept through the forest and soon found Alpender.

When I tried to defeat Alpender, he immediately released toxic substances, but it was of no use to me, who was fully armed with a suit.

The suit I was equipped with in the first place even had a purification function added to it.

-Taaat!

After collecting dozens of Alpender stems, I moved back to the academy.

With proper use of three-dimensional maneuver and propellant, it was an instant to reach the teleport exchange.

“Wow!!! “It’s a monster!!”

However, the guard was scared by my appearance and ended up screaming.

It was only then that I was able to realize what I look like now.

“·····.”

I immediately pressed the button attached to the mask.

Then the helmet covering the face began to disintegrate, and each of the parts gathered towards the mask.

When all the parts were eventually recovered and my face was revealed, the expression on the guard’s face was one of fear rather than fear.

“Who, who…?”

“I am a cadet at the Imperial Academy. “Here’s your ID.”

I said that and took out the ID card I kept in my inventory and showed it to him.

The guard once again flinched when he saw the ID card appearing through a crack in the air, but he soon checked the ID card and looked at me with a surprised face.

“Eh, Edgar Fix…?”

The guard carefully checks my name on my ID card and examines my face.

Soon, he jumped up and saluted me in a polite manner.

He said, ‘It’s an honor to meet Count Fix!’ And added that he knew me well because he had heard rumors about me, and that he was grateful for the cool summer.

‘Is it now that even the guards in these border areas know about it?’

However, I was a little dazed.

Not long ago, I was just another academy cadet, but now even the guards on the outskirts know me.

Anyway, I said thank you for the support and accepted the handshake he offered.

I could feel how much he liked me from the strength of his grip as he held my hand.

“Then take care.”

“Yep!”

The strange and unfamiliar feeling of a complete stranger recognizing me first.

With that dazed feeling in mind, I moved to the center of the empire using the exchange’s teleportation magic ball.

This is the exchange office in the capital.

Now that I think about it, even though I didn’t pretend to know, all the operators serving in the capital seemed to recognize me.

I see you keep glancing in my direction.

“It was an honor to serve you. Please use us again next time.”

Favor that follows automatically without you having to do anything in particular.

I nodded to the exchange office staff who saw me off with a bright smile, then returned to the lab.

Then, I felt like my dazed and excited mind had calmed down.

“Hmm. “After all, I am a ballplayer by nature.”

It’s good to be popular, but I also like to study quietly.

My somewhat insider-like appearance is just a social skill developed through repeated sessions, but I am a researcher and engineer after all.

We need to make CS gas quickly.

“Fix, let’s tell the devils how sh*tty the CBR is.”

“Weuuung~!”

Just like that, I took out all the Alpenders stored in my inventory.

Afterwards, experiments, experiments. It was another experiment.

I attempted to create the CS gas I wanted by mixing various solutions to induce a chemical reaction.

“Hmm. “Isn’t this it?”

However, chemistry is not my area of expertise, so I had no choice but to experience continued failure.

Only the failed data was piled up on top of the record log.

“It will work this time.”

However, I have a ridiculously crazy skill called ‘engineering thinking’.

Soon, I was able to successfully derive a chemical formula, and the flask was now filled with a substance presumed to be modern CS gas.

Was it really successful this time?

“What can I say?”

You will understand when you take charge of it yourself.

I just broke the flask.

Then, a dark green gas slowly spread out, and the moment the gas reached my respiratory tract.

“Wow!”

I could sense that my experiment was a success.

The crap I felt in the military can be vividly felt through all the senses of my body.

***

Jeobeok… Jebeok….

Weak footsteps spread through the hallway.

Sssssvvvr– While the pole-like raindrops are pouring down, squeak! Thunder rumbled, and the dark hallway flashed for a moment.

It was Charlotte.

This horse is trudging along on this cloudy day.

She was currently almost in a state of giving up.

Despite countless efforts, in the end, not a single flower was sold, and all efforts were in vain.

From noble mtl dot com

‘In the end…’

Is it fate that he cannot become the main character?

I wanted to be a sparkling person like Enya or Isabella, but in the end, I ended up like this.

Unable to overcome the pressure of tuition fees coming soon, he goes to ask Ed for help.

“······.”

Just like that, Charlotte stood in front of Ed’s lab.

How should I get the word out to hire me?

In the end, do I have to remain just that kid who only receives help from Ed?

“uuu…..”

“······?”

While I was lost in such sad thoughts, I heard a strange sound.

It sounds like sobbing.

Now that I think about it, the door to the lab was also half open.

Ed had opened the door for her to ventilate, but Charlotte, who had no way of knowing what was going on, carefully opened the door and stuck her head out.

Surprisingly, Ed was there, sitting on the floor and sobbing.

“!!!!!”
