I Became an Academy Mechanic Genius

47 – Audience from the center

The office of the head of the Zygmunt family.

A man stood in the thick darkness.

The man’s name is Cairo Zygmunt.

He was the head of Count Zigmund’s family and the owner of the black yodo sword.

he said looking back.

“You have tarnished the family name.”

you guys

It was a reference to his son, Max.

Max, who suffered a disgraceful defeat even with the obsidian sword, did not deserve to be called the son of family Zigmund.

“… Whoa, during practice on Monday, it’s a must-keuugh!?”

However, Max, who was on his knees trying to come up with an excuse, groaned at the mysterious power that suddenly suppressed him.

The identity of that power was none other than the magic power emitted from the black yodo.

“If my son is right, prove it. If you can handle the black yodo, you will be able to control this power.”

Cairo said that and stretched out his hand.

Then, like a magnet, the obsidian beside Max was sucked into his hand.

Soon after, Cairo aimed the black yodo sword at Max and added strength to the magic that suppressed him.

“Awesome! Wow—!”

Max’s veins began to spurt and his eyes began to congest.

It was because the black yodo’s magical power was pressing down on Max’s face.

“Control this sword if you want to survive. Or you, die here today.”

However, even though his son was in so much pain, Cairo continued to pour the magic of the black yodo with an expressionless face.

Even though it was clear that Max’s face would explode if he didn’t reap the magic.

‘Go, the head of the household really intends to kill me. really···!’

At this, Max felt the fear of life itself.

The fear felt by prey in front of a predator.

So, Max began to control the black yodo by squeezing out all the strength he had, just like a prey running at full speed to avoid a predator.

It was the determination of a lifetime to practice the ‘Zigmund style swordsmanship’ that he had learned through rigorous training since he was a child.

– Ugh! Whoa! Whoops!

Then the two forces began to collide.

The power to suppress Max’s face, and the power to get out of it.

At this, the black yodo in Cairo’s hand began to tremble.

But that was only for a moment.

“Hmm. Also you are not my son. It is only this.”

Cairo’s eyes widened.

As if a taut thread snapped, the balance of the two colliding forces collapsed in an instant.

Max’s control was lost to Cairo.

“Quaaagh! Oh ah ah ah ─ !! ”

Max started screaming.

Dark magic power emanating from the black yodo mercilessly pressed Max’s face, and his face was crushed.

Woodeuk-woodeuk- His nose was crushed, his jawbone was out of alignment, and Max’s pupils began to open.

“aaagh!!!”

But next moment.

Max’s expression, which had been turbid, turned into a demon-like form and screamed.

At the same time, he began to push away the magic of the black yodo that was pressing down on his face little by little.

– Woo-woo-woo! Whoops! Ugh!

Two forces that are so sharply opposed.

The corners of Cairo’s mouth, which had been expressionless throughout, twisted faintly.

Thinking that this was enough, Cairo collected the black yodo, and at the same time, the two forces that were in a tense confrontation disappeared in an instant, as if they had never existed.

“Heo-eok… Hee-eok… Hee-eok…”

Max gasping for breath with a distorted face due to bone misalignment.

Cairo approached such Max.

I got down on one knee, got to eye level with Max, and put my hand on his head to heal him.

“yes. That’s the attitude. You’re a guy who’s at least useful when he struggles to live and die.”

Cairo said that and stood up.

Max’s face, which had been distorted with a crushed nose and a misaligned jawbone, was restored to its original state.

“I’ll give you one last chance.”

Saying so, Cairo let go of the black yodo sword he was holding in his hand.

However, the obsidian did not fall to the ground, but floated through the air and moved right in front of Max.

“Tomorrow’s Lord Gracia’s class… that class will be an observation class. It means that a large number of central officials will participate.”

“…”

“Don’t bring Sigmund’s name to shame. There is only one chance.”

Cairo left the office after leaving the last words.

As soon as Max left Cairo, he grabbed the obsidian floating in the air and stood up.

Before long, his two eyes, which were shedding tears, began to fill up with poison and stinging.

Black Yodo’s magical power spread out in all directions.

***

Monday morning.

Classroom 11, where Professor Gracia lectures, was somewhat cluttered.

This is because officials sitting in various important positions in the center observe classes and occupy the back seats.

“Hmm. Is that guy Edgar Fix?”

“Yes. I say so.”

And most of them were interested in Ed.

It is to contact the common blacksmith who made a crazy thing called ‘Graham’s North Wind’.

Only then will you be able to order an air conditioner that will last you through this long summer.

“You sure don’t look like a normal guy.”

However, even if ‘Graham’s North Wind’ is aside, Edgar Fix was a person of interest.

Rumors about him have already spread far and wide in the central imperial family.

Although he was only a commoner, he was sponsored by the Archmage and the Princess, and he performed impressively in the class evaluation match and entered the rankings.

No matter how great his performance was, there was already a fan base following him.

The ‘Imperial Newspaper’ published an article about the weapon he wore, to the extent of raising side sales.

– Knocked up.

at that time.

The door to the classroom opened and Professor Gracia entered.

Then, most of the officials sitting in the back seat stood up and started bowing to Gracia.

“Senior, long time no see.”

“How are you, senior?”

“It is an honor to meet you.”

“Meet Sir Gracia, Sword Master.”

Gracia, who served as a corps commander during the Great War seven years ago.

Because he was in such a high position, most of the officials who came to the observation class had to pay respect to him.

The only person who could ignore his achievements and authority was ‘Alerina’, Gracia’s motive and former corps commander.

“Hey, Gracia. Does the conquest look good too? It’s very saggy.”

“…Alerina.”

“Is it fun to leave me and play teacher here? I’m bored to death without you.”

“…it wouldn’t be fun if there was no war. Because you are crazy about killing.”

Alerina shrugged her shoulders at the words of Gracia that followed.

Then, he untied his curly red hair, which was loosely tied into a ponytail.

“Ah, that’s an old story. Am I not the old me? I want to settle down now. Will you marry me?”

“…”

Gracia stares at Alerina with eyes like cockroaches.

That was all.

Gracia, who immediately looked away, passed her and moved to the podium.

“Ah~ it was tea again”

Alerina muttered that and slapped her adjutant.

Raising the corner of his mouth coquettishly, he spoke to his adjutant.

“Will you marry me?”

“sorry.”

“Eh-rai, at least pretend to be worried, you bastard”

Allerina giggles and pranks her subordinates in a playful way.

A subordinate with a mixed expression of troubled expression and expression of holding back laughter.

Meanwhile, Gracia’s determined voice resounded.

“Quiet.”

·····

Inside, silence flows in an instant at his words.

Allerina, who was playing pranks on her subordinates, also stopped playing, muttering, “Oh, how do you feel?”

Before long, Gracia started announcing the announcement about this class.

“You know, today is the day of practice sparring. Each cadet has to play an ‘offensive battle’ and a ‘defense battle’ once, and both the offensive and defensive battles will be held in the 2,000-pyeong training ground.”

offensive and defensive warfare.

The offensive match was a match against the opponent ‘they pointed out’.

In Gracia’s class earlier, all the cadets announced their training methods and weapons to use, so based on that information, they chose an opponent they could win against.

On the same principle, defensive warfare was a game against an opponent who ‘pointed at himself’.

Just as you point out an opponent you can beat and fight an offensive battle, you also engage in a defensive battle by pointing out an opponent who looks down on you.

However, at this time, Gracia was concerned about overlapping target opponents in the attack, so she took action.

Evaluating the skill level of the cadets and limiting the number of opponents that can be pointed out.

As a result, the bracket was drawn so that everyone could play one offensive and defensive battle without overlapping points.

“Then let’s start fighting. The first is Dalian Anna Silbern’s attack. The opponent is Andy Brunch.”

Practice sparring began like that.

The two cadets called by Gracia came up to the podium and put their hands on the teleport magic sphere.

Then their new type was moved from end to end of the arena.

It was a large training ground of 2,000 pyeong, but it was almost an open space, so the two cadets could check each other’s location.

[Begin.]

Eventually, Gracia, who moved to the training ground to supervise the training, ordered the training to begin.

Then the two cadets at the end and the end began rushing towards each other.

[Andy Brunch wins]

And the result was Andy’s victory, pointed out by Anna.

In other words, the cadet who fought the defensive battle won.

In this way, Anna, who was defeated in the ‘attack’, had no choice but to lose a lot of points.

He judged Andy to be worthy of defeat and singled out him, but rather, he himself was defeated.

[I will start the next sparring right away. Max Zygmunt’s attack. The opponent is Edgar Fix.]

And here, there was another cadet who pointed out the other person without knowing his fraction.

Max Zygmunt.

He blindly pointed at Ed without considering compatibility or strength, solely to avenge his loss in the first game.

‘I’ll definitely tear it to shreds this time.’

But he had a part to believe in.

A potion of berserk that was secretly purchased on the black market.

He was confident that with this potion he bought with all his fortune, he would definitely win this time.

‘I couldn’t even use the obsidian properly last time.’

Besides, the last time I couldn’t even swing my sword, I was defeated.

He fell for his tricks and ended up not being able to demonstrate his skills.

So, this time was completely different from last time.

There were almost no landmarks, so he couldn’t do tricks, and he wouldn’t be able to handle his own speed and strength after taking a wide potion.

After completing such calculations, Max drank all the way down the wide potion he had prepared before pretending to drink water.

Strength began to rise throughout my body.

“Hey, is that guy funny? Do you use cheats?”

However, he couldn’t fool Alerina’s eyes.

Because she is a sorceress with a special type of magic with a ‘special eye’.

I was able to catch Max’s change that even Gracia couldn’t see.

But even after witnessing such a scene, she didn’t do anything.

He just shrugged his shoulders and laughed as if this situation was funny.

“Hey, lieutenant. Don’t you think it would be so damn fun? There is a madman who sucks a wide potion.”

“Shouldn’t it be dried up? If you ever lose your temper…”

“We have Gracia-chan, so what can we do? Besides, isn’t that guy a commoner? The fortune of the 1st class students.”

“Yes. That’s true… but the wide potion is a bit…”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Would I have to die?”

Saying that, Alerina leaned back in her chair.

The adjutant glanced at Allerina with eyes as if looking at an immature child, then sighed and turned his head to the front.

Max and Ed’s new model was moving into the arena.
