86 – New Semester (1)

The academy’s summer vacation is over.

Unlike the chaotic continental situation.

Anyway, the academy has started anew.

Because warriors continue to be created, and education must continue.

“Sacher. I need a list of the participants in the ‘Basics of Potion Making’ class.”

“yes. professor.”

Entering the second semester of my sophomore year, my academy life got a bit busy.

First of all, student assistant work.

It’s been a long time since I quit <Academy Alchemy Shop>, but it’s still valid to help Professor Melaine’s work as an assistant.

Moreover, as the semester progressed, Professor Melaine’s trust in me deepened.

Maybe it was natural.

As an undergraduate student belonging to the Faculty of Alchemy, there have been quite a lot of achievements, and I also created magic tools such as [Anti-Venom] while researching directly with Professor Meline.

It was natural to be given more work than the first semester.

“How many students are there in total?”

“that… The lectures of all classes you opened are full.”

“… entire?”

“yes. There must have been a lot of rumors that the professor was a specialist in the potion field. Even within the faculty, I often hear the professor’s story.”

“well. That’s too much praise.”

… I like it.

It’s expressionless on the outside, but I can see it because I’ve been watching Professor Meline for a long time.

That’s obviously pretending not to be and liking it.

And it’s not wrong.

It is not easy for a new professor who was newly appointed last year to fill all lectures in one semester.

The recently elevated status of the Faculty of Alchemy and Professor Meline’s external activities.

And with the joint development of [Anti-Venom], Prof. Meline’s popularity was at its peak even within the department.

It was well deserved applause.

“Come to think of it, I heard that this time we recorded the highest sales again.”

“Ah yes. The newly developed magic tools sold better than expected. I think the strategy of not patenting and releasing it in advance at the Alchemy Shop worked.”

“You are humble. In my eyes, it’s just Sacher, you seem to have done a good job in business.”

“… thank you.”

This time, it was Professor Meline’s counterattack.

It’s even more embarrassing when someone who doesn’t think so praises it.

… It felt like this.

The second reason why I am busy without rest since the beginning of the semester.

It was the boom of <The Moonlight Night>.

The newly opened pension shop is growing with steady sales from the middle of the vacation to the beginning of the semester.

In particular, a magic tool recently developed as a new product.

[Lamp of Resonance] and [Frozen Whip].

The strategy that was disclosed at the alchemy shop without patenting must have worked well, and the two magic tools sold like hot cakes.

In addition, sales of other products also increased.

[Lamp of Resonance]

-Type: Special

-Producer: Sacher Philippe

-A mysterious lamp that detects special places with dimensional magic. It is very effective when used in the dark, and boasts a radius of 10 minutes. It is activated when the user injects magic power, and loses power after using it a total of 10 times.

[Frozen Whip]

-Type: Special

-Producer: Sacher Philippe

-When used, the opponent is immediately bound and restrained, and a shallow level of freezing proceeds to freeze the target. It is effective only on targets that have a magic stone in their body or are made of a magic conductor. It is activated when the user injects magic power, and after using it once, it can only be used after a while.

The current situation of the continent confused by double gates.

The above two magic tools were developed to see if there was a magic tool that could defeat him or help him.

The [Lamp of Resonance] is a magic tool that specializes in finding a special place containing dimensional magic, that is, a gate.

A detection-type magic tool that demonstrates extreme efficiency in dark places.

Thanks to this, it was very effective in discovering the ‘double gate’ hidden in the dungeon (special gate).

Even though it was a one-time magic tool that was only used 10 times.

‘Experienced with double gates in the past has been helpful.’

From Venom Arcus to Lycanthrope.

In the meantime, I have experienced a high-level double gate and my understanding of its magic structure has increased, and this soon appeared as a performance added to magic tools.

Despite having quite a few restrictions, being able to detect double gates with just magic tools is a great advantage.

Thanks to this, the main purchasers of the [Lamp of Resonance] were not ordinary warriors or citizens, but big imperial organizations such as the Imperial Family, Royal Guard Knights, and the Magic Society.

‘The frozen whip… Common warriors bought more.’

A [Frozen Whip] that can use a bondage with maximized performance limited to demons.

This magic tool was purchased more by ordinary warriors.

Currently, the imperial family and other countries on the continent have placed huge bounties on the ‘double gate’ and the demons and monsters in the dungeon.

Since it was not a full-scale demon war, each country had to offer incentives to compensate for the demon eradication.

Thanks to this, free-moving adventurers and explorer-type warriors went hunting for double gates, and the [Frozen Whip], the most effective magic tool for them to use, was bound to boast high popularity.

“Awesome. It’s easy to create such unique magic tools.”

“… I was lucky. We still have a long way to go to the professor.”

“Excessive humility is bound to appear deceitful. Sacher, you are better than me when it comes to developing magic tools.”

“… … .”

Gilding on my face, which Delia usually did in the past… .

It seems that Professor Meline has gotten worse since I haven’t seen him during vacation.

I quickly changed the topic, thinking that if I said more, the embarrassing situation would continue.

“Is Chris Akrion’s transfer over? I heard you went through the procedures for returning to school yesterday.”

“hmm. As of yesterday, the department head’s approval has declined.”

“thank god.”

“Maybe it’s because I’m a golem alchemist who returned after a long absence, and the head of the department seems to like it too.”

“It’s because everyone doesn’t want to do it because of their minor tendencies.”

The last reason I was busy during vacation.

I’m in love… When I say that, I have nothing to say.

Externally, I was busy teaching Chris.

An alchemist with a natural talent for crafting and manipulating golems.

Chris was a warrior who knew how to apply more than what he had learned.

Thanks to that, I also had a taste for advising and teaching.

Especially these days, even if you have a talent for golem alchemy, everyone hopes to become an ordinary alchemist.

Golem alchemy is a long way from learning properly because there are so few warriors who handle it, and because it is a rare field, it costs more than other alchemy.

But is the return equal to the cost spent?

that’s not it either

For golem alchemists, honor and strategic use in war are more important than profitable benefits or wealth accumulation.

So, golem alchemists used to be raised with public funds at the national level, such as an empire or a kingdom.

Even that is possible with talent.

“But lately, people have shown interest again. Sacher, thanks to your performance.”

“ah… .”

Professor Meline was talking about the [Giant Reaper] who played an active part in the last demon alliance eradication.

Certainly, that was a sign of a new wave of popularity.

Many alchemists used to take an interest in that overpowering golem.

Thanks to you, the Faculty of Alchemy this semester.

It was experiencing unprecedented popularity from each department and undergraduate students.

That difficult ‘relationship inquiry’ came in steadily, and <Academy Alchemy Shop> also seemed to be doing pretty well after I left.

A faculty that has been quietly ignored and unpopular for the past few years, or even decades.

To think that he is suddenly in his heyday like this… .

It seems that my impact on the demon alliance annihilation was definitely great.

“Anyway, the semester starts soon and the lecture starts right away… Sacher, as a teaching assistant, make sure you are fully prepared. There will be a lot more to do than last semester.”

“Aren’t there any exceptions for honor students?”

“You are not an honor student. He is just a gifted student.”

“Ugh… You’re hitting the point… . All right.”

“hmm.”

After fixing his trademark glasses once, Professor Melaine organized all the remaining paperwork.

Soon after, I got up and walked out of the professor’s room.

Even before opening the door to the professor’s office.

He didn’t forget to stop for a moment and say a word.

“I don’t hate gifted students.”

My body stopped momentarily at her words.

I wonder if I heard it wrong.

But I heard you right.

I’ve received many compliments from Professor Melaine, but I think this is the first time I’ve expressed it directly like this.

Just as people’s perception of alchemy has changed.

Even Professor Meline, who had been stiff, was changing little by little.

I quickly replied that she was leaving.

“yes… !!”

“… I wish you well this semester too, Sachere.”

“Me too, thank you, professor!”

The previous semester, a greeting I couldn’t even imagine when I first met her.

The beginning of change was manifested in such a trivial place.

A new environment and a new perception.

A new semester at the academy was announcing its beginning.
