chapter 29
29 – Let’s take a class
Hungry Hungry
Academy Magic Building 1st Classroom
The place where the orientation for the class I decided to take for the first time, ‘Understanding Magical Engineering’, will be held.
It was a huge lecture hall that reached the 5th floor and could accommodate about 100 people, probably because it was a class with a large number of students. In terms of her previous life, it was about the size of a hall in a shopping mall.
Still, there are so many students that the classroom is overflowing. Is she also her
Sunny and I sat in the front seats.
In my previous school days, I preferred a back seat where I could do other things without being caught by teachers or professors… I took this class because I liked the professor.
At best, you can see it in real life, but it’s too bad to sit in the back seat.
“Huh? Are you standing? Luke too?”
As she was waiting to come in, she heard a familiar voice behind her.
“Huh? Stupid Andre.”
Listening to Sunny’s voice, I looked behind her and noticed Andre.
“Andre? Is Andre interested in this class too?”
“Ah, I came here because I was curious about the professor’s golem. Because he handles such rare golems.”
Andre naturally sat down next to me.
Even though it’s only been two days since I knew him, his behavior was like treating a close friend.
Although not as good as Amy, she is very friendly.
By the way, it’s a golem.
That’s right. Golem. It was like her trademark.
Ancient Golem. Her trademark that symbolizes her.
“What about you? Did you guys come to see the golem too?”
“That’s right. I was curious about the ancient golem that Professor Kronia handles.”
To be precise, I want to see her, her professor, who was my favorite character in [Deus Ex Machina] As well.
After I finished speaking, I could feel the entrance gradually getting noisy.
I looked towards her entrance and saw her coming in.
Red hair that looks like it’s going to burn at any moment, and on the contrary, an intelligent appearance that feels like an intelligent career woman.
The professor in charge of this class, ‘Understanding Magic Engineering,’ is the one-man corps Kronia Messene.
He is the only wizard who can handle the golem of an ancient civilization that has been destroyed. She can handle other wizards as well, but there is no one she can handle as completely and freely as she does. Only her lineage can handle it properly. In addition, even in the Messene family, she did not have as much talent as her, so she is even more amazing.
Although the ‘gift’ she uses is unusual, it is not related to golems.
In any case, she comes from a well-established aristocratic family, the Messene family, and is a severe aristocratic supremacist.
That’s why, in [Deus Ex Machina], She bullied Dia, who was a commoner but was outstanding.
She appeared as a villain in the early days, but later became a popular character as she changed her mind and became a good character due to Dia.
In the academy, which is being ruined by ‘chaos’, he showed the most professor-like appearance and sacrificed himself for the sake of the students in the final scene of Act 1, boasting great popularity.
Her ‘Last Lesson’ was an episode that could not be watched without tears. That’s why I also liked her, and she is the professor I looked forward to the most in this semester of her academy.
I get to meet her in real life like this.
Ttogak
As Professor Kronia stood in front of the church, the noisy lecture hall instantly became quiet.
To make the academy students, the upper class of the empire, who had been living idle lives silent and focused just by appearing without saying anything. What charisma.
Gulp
The sound of someone swallowing in the silence.
Indeed, she is a woman who has risen to the level of a war hero with the body of a magic engineer who is treated as a profession with low combat power. Even an academy student can’t help but feel intimidated by her long position.
“Nice to meet you, freshmen. Kronia Messene, who was in charge of the ‘Understanding Magical Engineering’ class.”
When she opened her mouth, a hard tone came out that did not match her beautiful appearance. It’s probably because she doesn’t enjoy hanging out with others, and she has a history of serving in the military.
Dressed in the uniform of an imperial army general, she is very…… How to say she was cool
Huh? Then, will we be able to see it in real life?
“They asked me to teach magic engineering for the gentlemen who will lead the future of the empire. It would be nice if there was an opportunity to learn magic engineering in the first year. What…… I don’t expect that much. It would be a miracle if even one of you could understand ‘magical engineering’.”
Some students clenched their fists in a fit of rage over remarks that were openly ignored. On the other hand, there was not a single student who expressed their dissatisfaction or openly protested.
The invasion of barbarians about 10 years ago.
A huge number of barbarians invaded and a difficult situation occurred in the situation of the empire.
There is no problem in stopping the Empire, but it took too much time to move the troops needed to stop the barbarians.
However, it was impossible to block the quantity with a few strong people, so the solution that appeared like a comet was Kronia.
The only magician who can lead an army of golems alone.
She was quickly put into the front line single-handedly, completely blocking the barbarians and preventing the Empire’s defenses from breaking through.
In the situation of the empire, the breach of the border by the barbarians would have caused great damage.
Just as the Roman citizens were shocked when the borders of the Roman Empire in their previous life were breached by a foreign tribe.
So even though it was only an invasion by barbarians, in the position of the empire, it was something worth enduring for ten years.
Due to this incident, Cronia’s existence became embedded in the minds of the people of the entire Calandra Empire, and it became an opportunity for her academy to focus on nurturing the subject of magic engineering. She even had her as her professor.
Maybe that’s why the academy students flocked to her from her first class to the point where the classroom burst into tears, and even though she was openly ignored, no one raised her voice.
Her respect for her, her fear of her, and her awe of her.
Oh, come to think of it, at the time of last year, there was also a story that a freshman who fearlessly attacked Kronia was completely killed. Is this because of that?
In [Deus Ex Machina], In this atmosphere, Dia, a commoner, made a rude remark and dragged Cronia’s aggro, and the story flowed into a fight.
Was it like this even in the game? Then, it is understandable why Cronia immediately sparred with Dia.
But now Dia has changed a bit, so that won’t happen. Did Dia ever come here in the first place?
“Over the past few years, she has taught students like you. However, I have never seen a student who understands that she is real magic engineering. There were only those who tried to deal with servants made of mechanical devices without even having a proper understanding of ‘magic’. I just hope that among you there will be a proper magic engineer, different from those idiots. Now, the first day is orientation. I want you to introduce what kind of class my class is.”
“Crazy!”
“I… Is that an ancient golem?”
As Kronia finished her words, a huge subspace hole appeared on the floor in front of her.
And an ancient golem that emerges from a hole. It was a golem about the height of three floors of a building with a helmet reminiscent of a Spartan warrior from his previous life, sparkling blue eyes, and numerous clockworks.
Chii Ik
The golem fully revealed itself and emitted smoke.
That is Kronia’s flagship golem, Model Soldier, which is said to be on par with the advanced sword experts.
Seeing it in person right in front of me made me feel incredibly intimidated.
“The first class is a demonstration. I’ll show you what magic engineering is. Are there any volunteers who want to share with my ‘Magic Engineering’?”
Silence.
No one volunteered even though this large lecture hall was full.
“No one? What a strange thing. I’ve never had any volunteers. Are these freshmen only cowards?”
Kronia frowned at her beautiful arms.
Despite the provocative remarks, no one stepped forward.
“Hmm…. Should I nominate? I hope this will happen Who would you like?”
Students who suddenly look away or lower their heads to avoid eye contact with Cronia.
In the middle, some students didn’t avoid their eyes, but most students couldn’t look at Kronia properly.
Those who didn’t look away were probably the protagonists of [Deus Ex Machina], Confident in their skills.
“I am disappointed. I never thought there would be so many cowards who avoid even staring at me. Is this rider the only chaff? …… Hmm? Blue hair. No way?”
The eyes of the golem in front of her flashed. And goosebumps all over her body. It’s like something is scanning my body….
“I see. Is it the younger brother of that year? Pulse Rayno! Come forward “
Kronia looked straight at me and said.
Me?
Out of all these students, is it me?
Ah. Siren’s sister.
It was only then that I remembered.
When Siren’s sister ran into trouble at her former academy, she learned that the Golem Corps of Cronia, which had been mobilized to stop it, suffered great damage.
I could never have thought that Siren, who had already graduated, would throw sh*t on me.
“I will teach you ‘Magic Engineering’.”
Kronia smiles at me.
Uh…… Although Kronia made several plans to get her attention…… I hope it turns out like this
