I Became an Academy Mechanic Genius

89 – Lucas Elmar (2)

“·····What, what.”

An unbelievable sight unfolded.

I can’t believe my mother was looking at Edgar Fix with such a strange look.

You left him there, calling him your husband and urging him to greet his father.

“Kikiki kick… Honey. “I think my son is still undereducated?”

At that time.

Edgar Fix said that, raising the corners of his mouth in a mean manner.

Then, he pressed his face close to Adela and whispered the words, ‘Please punish me’ as if he were blowing into her ear.

Finally, Adela nodded her head with a blushing expression and spoke to Lucas.

“Lucas. Did your mom teach you that? Staring at your stepfather like that is like rebelling against me. “I should hurry up and say hello.”

Bingle-Binggle- the world turned.

My legs felt weak and I felt nauseous.

What the heck is this ridiculous situation…?

“Lucas! You are going to disobey me until the end! Quickly apologize to your stepfather! “This is the person I love, and the only man I accept as my partner!”

Cognitive ability is distorted.

Just as in a dream one believes the dream to be reality, Lucas was accepting this nonsense as reality.

In the end, this bastard, Edgar Fix, even took over her mother.

“Kikikikik… Lucas, you have to show me well from now on, right? Unless you want to be pushed out of the successor structure. “Right now, a new successor to Elmar is growing in Adela’s stomach.”

“·····What? What?”

“Oh, should I say Fix instead of Elmar? “This was rude.”

Lucas’ whole body began to tremble.

There is Edgar Fix’s child in his mother’s womb?

Then am I going to be abandoned like this?

Why does my mother always take a lowly commoner as her partner and do things like this?

-Lucas.

But for an instant, Adela’s voice rang in Lucas’ head.

The heavy and clear voice that he originally knew.

-I truly loved your father. So don’t listen to the frivolous sounds of sparrows.

When he was young, Lucas recalled what Adela had told him.

When there were rumors going around that she was a ‘rapist’s child,’ she told an anecdote that Adela was the result of legitimate love for her.

‘This is fake.’

And when these memories of the past came to mind, everything started to look straight.

I could sense that this scene unfolding before my eyes was something that could never happen.

There is no way my mother could be so shallow.

‘The powder used by Charlotte Verdian…’

Instead, Lucas remembered the battle with Charlotte and Cadmus.

A hallucinogenic powder that drove Cadmus into a state of insanity.

In addition, it is an illusion technique designed to stimulate fear.

‘Is that so?’

Everything became clear.

Ed and Charlotte’s relationship.

And the strange powder that was sprinkled on him during the battle.

The scene he was seeing now was created by the fear deep within his subconscious.

Fear that my mother will abandon my father, who was a lowly mercenary, and choose a better man.

Inferiority toward one’s origin.

A desperate desire to be recognized by mother.

Pressure to be the perfect son.

All those emotions mixed together to create this ridiculous scene.

Because of my own weakness that I could not overcome.

From noble mtl dot com

‘Was it me who was eaten by vanity…’

All this time, I thought I was moving forward.

When there were more nobles talking to him in social circles.

When selected as a student representative at the academy entrance ceremony.

When walking around with a large group of people following you.

In all those moments, he did not grow, but only filled the sense of inferiority he felt toward being a commoner hidden deep in his heart.

Look, I am Lucas Elmar.

He is a true nobleman who inherited Elmar’s last name.

She inherited the strongest bloodline that rivals her mother’s reputation.

-, He screamed like a child and showed off to the whole place.

Although her mother had never once been ashamed of her father’s existence, she was filled with a sense of entitlement and filled her own self-esteem with the excuse that she was enhancing her mother’s reputation.

‘What’s important is not what others think…’

My mother was resolute in her eyes of others.

She set a firm standard for what important values she should uphold and focused only on those.

But in reality, he was busy satisfying her vanity.

She mistakenly thought that the more nobles followed her, the more she grew.

‘···He was no different from a child. I’m embarrassed.’

I wanted to hear those words from her mother someday.

You are now a man.

I wanted you to acknowledge me with those warm words.

However, her mother never once referred to herself as ‘man’ or ‘man’.

Whenever she talked about herself to a third party, she always referred to herself as ‘child’.

‘Of course.’

Now Lucas seemed to know what his mother thought a man should be.

A person who pioneers his own path.

A person who can carry out his or her beliefs and philosophy no matter what hardships and trials come his way.

A person who can attract people solely with his or her abilities, rather than focusing on the relationships around him.

He was the man my mother thought of.

And Edgar Fix, he was a man who met all the conditions.

The vessel is different from your own.

‘I was jealous of him.’

As he acknowledged his own weakness, the truth began to appear.

In fact, he was jealous of Ed from the entrance ceremony speech.

I was greatly shocked by his words, ‘I’m not ashamed of Fix’s last name.’

Because he didn’t even try to know about his father’s last name, and he was busy hiding it.

Because he has always been obsessed with being the son of ‘Elmar’ and has tried to ignore the other half of himself.

‘I have denied my roots.’

Ed acknowledged his own roots.

On the day of the entrance ceremony, he revealed to everyone that he was a blacksmith after all.

Even when receiving the title, he kept the commoner’s surname ‘Fix’.

He was not ashamed of his commoner father, and always put his father first.

He also did not become arrogant despite his fame and wealth, and instead gave lessons to those who criticized him.

And it was spreading good influence throughout the empire.

‘That’s not Edgar Fix.’

So, the bully who is messing around in front of you is not Edgar Fix.

He was just a mirror reflecting his ugly inner self.

Edgar’s inner weakness, not wanting to acknowledge Fix, demonized him.

“Whoa…”

Now it is time to go back.

Lucas exhaled and refined his mana.

Even though ‘badass Ed’ said, ‘There was no way he could compete with Adela’s night skills. But I muttered a line that made me want to kill myself, ‘My skill with my hands isn’t that great either.’ But I didn’t care.

That is because it is also an illusion created by one’s own weak inner self who wants to demonize Edgar Fix.

-Paaat!

In this way, Lucas released his mana in an instant, driving out the vicious energy inside him.

Then, just as paint that had solidified in the hot sun melts, the illusion he had created began to melt.

***

Adela’s expression hardened as she watched the stadium.

This is because my son, who was always attacking as if he was being chased somewhere, is now unable to escape from the hallucinogenic powder.

‘I couldn’t calm down…’

It looked fancy on the outside, but my son’s sparring actually left a lot to be desired.

This is because he was too emotional and attacked in a way that belittled the opponent.

-Waaa!!

-It’s finally out! Let’s go!!!

As a result, we gave the opponent an opportunity to arm himself.

While his son was stumbling from the hallucinogenic powder, Edgar summoned the suit and began to equip it.

-Ooooo!!

-That’s something I only heard about…!

Ed begins to equip the suit while aiming the repulsor beam at Lucas.

The suit started to attach itself to Ed as if it had a magnet and was completed.

The part of the boot that had fallen far away flew towards Ed as soon as he looked at it and was attached to his leg.

-Wheeeing… Rumbling…

And other parts were also the same.

Simultaneously, the suit appeared from a crack in the air, and each part flew to Ed on its own and began to assemble itself.

By scanning with a laser, changing gears, loosening screws and turning bearings, loosening and tightening were repeated at a rapid pace, and each part began to come together.

-Pusheee…

As a result, steam spewed out and the entire suit, except for the helmet, was completed.

The strongest academy cadet has returned.
