I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

124.Dungeon, Explosion, Reward (2)

“Oh, take off your clothes?!”

“Okay. “You have to take off your clothes to check.”

Don’t look at me with disdain.

It’s written in the contract, right? ‘Follow your employer’s orders no matter what.’

I covered my chest and sighed as I watched Viola walk away from me. I don’t have much time, but I don’t want to waste time like this. I turned my head toward the studio door and shouted loudly.

“Milia!”

“Did you call me?!”

There was too. I pushed away Milia, who was clinging to me with a twinkle in her eye, with my palm and pointed to Viola.

“Take off your shirt halfway. So that the severed arm can be seen.”

“Are you John Pervert?”

Don’t ask with pure eyes. If you look at it through those eyes, I really seem like a pervert.

“We need to check the condition of Viola’s arm her her her her.”

“What are you making that you want to see my body for?”

“Prosthetic hand.”

“Prosthetic hand?”

“Yes.”

“What is that?”

…As expected, there are no prosthetic arms in this world.

Since it was a fantasy world, I thought there would be at least prosthetic hands, but unfortunately, there didn’t seem to be any. If that’s the case, I’ll be the world’s first prosthetic hand maker, so this could make a lot of money.

The problem is that making a prosthetic hand is never easy. This means that human joints must be realized purely through technology, but this is by no means an easy task.

It is said that the elbow joint has not been properly reproduced even in the 21st century. Is it possible in this world where more detailed processes are difficult?

I thought… But if you think about it, there’s a pretty simple solution, isn’t there?

With that in mind, I decided that the product I would make during this summer vacation would be ‘prosthetic hands.’ It was a route that changed with the hiring of Viola. Originally, I was thinking of making a bomb that was easy to use while going back and forth through dungeons, but I decided to develop a prosthetic arm to use Viola more efficiently.

If it succeeds, it’s good for Viola and it’s good for me.

It’s a world where I don’t know how long I can survive with my limbs intact.

“Viola. Have you ever learned about golems?”

“Golem? “I learned the theory in the first semester, but I never actually made it.”

A simple solution I thought of. That was a golem. This is the golem that I destroyed so hard to get a wizard’s license. And the golem I met in the dungeon. Golems boasted quite a variety of appearances, from simple ones made of a few stones attached to each other to those that were relatively human-like.

The biggest characteristic of these golems is that they move on their own without any special control, even if they receive orders.

“I’m thinking of making a golem’s arm and connecting it to your arm. If the experiment is successful, we will be able to escape from being one-armed.”

“Make a golem arm… For my arm?”

Viola shook her head and reacted negatively to my idea.

“No, uncle… Are you saying you know the golem ingredients? All the materials used to make a golem are heavy. “If I do something wrong, you’ll end up with arms heavier than mine.”

“What if we engrave the magic of lightweighting?”

“Do you know that it costs a lot of money to engrave the magic of lighting? Besides, if you want to engrave it without interfering with the control magic and magic circuit… You’d have to be at least an archmage, right?”

“Or maybe there’s a way to make it by finding light materials.”

“Some materials won’t hold up and will break.”

One way or another, there are a lot of problems.

“I think it’s true that you came up with a good idea. But this wouldn’t even be possible with a decent amount of capital. I don’t think he has that much money… “

Money. It’s money.

My pockets are empty.

If you rob the dungeon after a week, you will make some money, but no matter how much the dungeon rewards, it is difficult to exceed 100 gold coins. Unless you hog all the rewards.

Is there any way to raise money… Ah.

Why didn’t I think of that?

“Viola. “I’m sorry, but I have to get ready to leave right away.”

“Huh? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Where is John? Can I follow you too?”

Milia, who had been listening to our conversation with a bored expression on her face, interjected like a cat and asked. I answered, waving my hand at Miliae.

“I’m going to do something boring, so don’t follow me.”

“But when you follow Johan, something interesting always happens, right?”

Do I look like a clown? I glared at Milia in bewilderment. Still, I felt a little disgusted by the sight of Viola hiding behind Viola, avoiding my gaze her, as if she had a conscience, so I deliberately twisted the corner of my mouth and spoke.

“I was supposed to study with Karina after lunch.”

“…Chi.”

Did you plan on making my own excuse and skipping class? He kindly puts honey balm on the head of Milia, who is already showing signs of being a delinquent student, and speaks to Viola, who looks at Milia with a slightly confused expression.

“I’ll be ready to leave right away, so just wait.”

“What? Suddenly? Where?”

“To get money.”

Isn’t this the kind of thing you’re reaching out to ask for help in times like this?

————————–

“So, does this mean you want me to fund research to create a new magic tool?”

“…Oh, no, I didn’t say you were the principal… !”

When I came to the main building, I followed him with a confused look, and when I stood in front of the principal’s office, I had a puzzled expression on my face. Finally, when I came face to face with Principal Merlin, who was drinking tea, Viola became thoughtful and tried to stab me in the side, but she stumbled and whispered.

Merlin seemed to find Viola’s reaction amusing and giggling like a child, then she put down the teacup and said.

“I didn’t know you would open your hands already! “Can I hear what your idea is?”

I explained the prosthetic hand idea to Principal Merlin in detail from beginning to end. Fortunately, the title of the world’s best archmage was not earned in vain. After hearing my explanation, Principal Merlin ‘clapped’ his palm with his fist and shouted.

“What a fun idea!”

“So we need quite a bit of research funding.”

“Let me join too!”

“Are you saying you want to participate in development yourself?”

“That’s right! “Don’t leave me out of something fun like this!”

What does this mean? I sighed inwardly as I looked at Principal Merlin, who announced with an excited look on his face that he would join in. Suddenly getting involved in the development of prosthetic hands? I was only planning on getting money.

“… For us, it would be a bit burdensome if the principal participated.”

[If the contractor had a lot of magical power, I could have just brainwashed him and put him to work.]

…It’s tempting, but it can’t possibly be that way. I completely ignored Lue’s nonsense, which was worth his confusing appearance.

Not only is brainwashing impossible with my meager magical power, but if I fail, I’ll have to fight immediately, so there’s no way I can beat that monster in the first place.

Even if you give a lot of money and squeeze it out, your winning rate will be less than 10%.

It may not be completely impossible to suppress it if you don’t use any means possible.

“Don’t worry! I won’t tell you to do this or that! “I will follow most of what you say!”

“If that’s the case, I won’t refuse it. It might be quite difficult.”

“Even after this, he is still a great wizard.”

“I plan to create a prototype within a week.”

“You’re the enemy. “Aren’t you too hasty?”

“Isn’t that enough time for the Archmage to participate in development?”

Originally, I was planning to spend about half of my vacation to make it, but if even the Grand Wizard participates in the development, wouldn’t it be possible to make a usable prosthetic hand within a week?

“Hmm, I guess I’ll give it a try.”

“Uh, hey, principal. Still, the fact that the principal participates directly…”

“Miss Viola. Don’t be too burdened. This is the foolish behavior of an educator who does not want to see a student with a bright future fail, so I will accept it with peace of mind.”

“Principal…”

[I took away the delicious part? Contractor, aren’t you saying flirty things like usual?]

When did I say that? I looked blankly at Viola, who was shedding tears of emotion, and Principal Merlin, who was patting her shoulder and comforting her.

Ah, I want to go back.

——————-

“Hey, John?”

“I think this is my first time seeing this. “Saint.”

“I’m older, so you can call me Karina. Principal Merlin.”

“Hehe, how dare I call the saint’s name carelessly?”

“You don’t have to do that. “I will soon be a student, but I feel uncomfortable when the principal does that.”

“Then can I call this old lady Miss Karina?”

“Of course.”

[Wow, look at you being pretentious.]

Carina couldn’t hide her surprise as she looked at Principal Merlin who appeared with me and looked at me and Principal Merlin in turn with a shocked face. A face asking what the heck is going on.

I explained in a soft voice so as not to startle Karina.

“I decided to help with the research.”

“W, you’re saying you came to help with research… ? Principal Merlin?”

“That’s right.”

This is my first time seeing Karina so surprised. I took and saved a screenshot of Karina’s cute appearance in her brain. When she’s in a good mood, she should think about it and turn into a happy circuit.

“Gyo, Gyo, Gyo, Gyo, Gyo, Gyo…”

“Miss Elise?!”

I fainted. I looked at the principal, saw Elisa sprawled out in the hallway, sighed, and walked over. Let’s take him to his room first. When I picked up Elisa and turned to Principal Merlin, the principal looked at Elisa in my arms with a puzzled look on her face.

“It’s an amazing experience…”

“I will take you and leave you.”

“I see.”

I immediately laid Elisa down on the bed and returned to talk to Principal Merlin, who was talking to Carina.

“Principal. “Let’s go to the studio soon.”

“It’s already that time. Well then, take care. Miss Karina.”

“See you later. Principal Merlin.”

[You have a knack for making a mess?]

“… It’s noisy.”

I was trying to move things along so quickly that I didn’t pay attention to this. Is it more accurate to say that I don’t think about something like this happening because I’m always playing drums and janggu alone?

Anyway, when I arrived at the studio with Viola and Principal Merlin, I immediately took a piece of paper and drew a blueprint on the spot. Anyway, most of the prosthetics I know are ones I saw in long-ago movies or animations, so I just had to draw whatever came to mind.

“It’s as fast and accurate as if you were copying a drawing. Have you drawn it several times?”

“I planned it out in advance.”

“Still, it’s amazing that you draw with such confidence.”

“Usually it takes at least a few hours to draw a design… But can something this complicated be done in an instant?”

“You can do it if you do it.”

I leave Viola’s admiration behind and look at Principal Merlin. Principal Merlin was lost in thought as he stared at my blueprint. I didn’t bother to touch Principal Merlin and waited for him to open his mouth.

After about five minutes had passed, Principal Merlin’s mouth had been tightly shut, opened.

“I don’t know anything.”
