I Became an Academy Mechanic Genius

54 – Cruel Family Delusion Circuit

Sword Saint Illei.

He sighs more often these days.

It’s because Ed made a mistake in his value judgment about Fix and made a mistake saying that he would only take her as a male concubine.

‘This guy has more than a count’s worth…’

At first, I thought it was just a commoner with excellent abilities.

Force, speech, situational judgment, politics, and even the art of living.

Although he was not born with a social status, he thought he was a talented person among talented people with various abilities filled in a hexagon.

Because of this, Ilaya tried to bring him in as Enya’s male concubine.

It was self-evident that if the guy’s ability and wisdom assisted Enya, the Cruel family would prosper as the strongest family in the Empire both in name and reality.

‘No, he has the power to move the empire.’

But Ed was not like that.

Enough to establish a whole new family, he had tremendous potential.

As proof of that, I was invited by the Dwarves this time.

The obstinate, back-end, and clogged race showed interest in Ed during the Cold War and sent an invitation to their own festival, the Iron Hammer Exhibition.

‘It made the United Kingdom move. Because of only one person.’

This was a huge thing.

The direction of relations and diplomacy between countries can be changed by just one person.

‘A new market is forming around him.’

Also, a new industry was being born, creating an enormous object called ‘Graham’s North Wind’.

In order to supply ‘Graham’s North Wind’ to the entire empire, it entered the mass production system, and the economy of the empire, which was in recession, began to turn around.

In other words, thanks to the things he made, jobs were created and the economy was circulating.

“It was stupid. The Archmage and Her Highness didn’t collect it for nothing.”

After all, the archmage is the archmage accident, and the imperial family is the imperial family.

A sigh flowed from the eyes of the two who recognized the talent of the boy early on.

I had prided myself on my ability to see people and read the situation, but now I see that they are all arrogant.

“I hope my daughter is doing well…”

The situation was like this, so the swordsman had no choice but to rely on his daughter.

Being the head of the Cruel family and being the Sword Saint himself, it would be disrespectful for him to summon him again and change his words.

The only way left is for Enya, who has feelings for him, to win his heart and naturally invite him to this house.

Then you will naturally be able to apologize for the past and propose that you become a husband rather than a concubine.

‘In order to do that, I must be selected for this Dwarven delegation…’

Dwarven delegation.

A great opportunity for young men and women to stay in a strange foreign land for 7 days!

No matter how experienced he was, like a 9th degree in politics, he was a teenager in the end.

You don’t know where the fire in your heart will fly until you stick to it.

‘Several families must have already given instructions…’

So, if the head of a household knew how to think, he would have given this instruction to his daughter.

Be sure to be selected for this dwarven delegation and win Edgar Fix’s heart.

In addition, take part in diplomatic affairs involving the imperial family, and make eye contact.

Considering that the competition rate was abnormally high, with almost all students participating, it was clear that such an order had been given.

Even if it were a son, Ed would have instructed him to form a friendly relationship with Fix.

‘Enya… must be chosen.’

Competitors were increasing one by one.

Now that his value is skyrocketing, Enya must ride on that upward trend.

“If it were our Enya… she would definitely be chosen.”

However, Ilayya smiled in repentance.

It was because he gave some kind of tip to Enya for the selection of the delegation this time.

If Enya had mastered it well, she would be able to join the Dwarven delegation this time!

‘If Enya is chosen for this delegation…’

As she imagined that Enya would be selected for this selection, a delusion was created in Illaya’s head.

After this contingent expedition is over, her daughter informs her that she is dating him.

After that, he invites his daughter and the boy to support their relationship, and then shows his free-spirited side to the common people, building up a good impression.

After that, as long as you keep in check the miscellaneous things that try to interfere with the relationship between the two…

‘Father-in-law’

“hahahaha!!”

He would become his father-in-law.

It is to bring in a tremendous talent, unprecedented in the history of the empire, as his son-in-law.

If that were the case, the other grand dukes would send an envious gaze, hit the ground, and regret it.

“Wait, son-in-law Ed. If you come to our family, there are so many things we can do for you…”

Ileiya’s thoughts, which started as regret, spread into delusions.

Already in his head, he was drawing a scene where he and Ed danced shoulder to shoulder while drunk.

If he is well-equipped with manners and nobility, he will surely become his son-in-law and good friend.

***

“I am eliminated.”

Enya’s two pupils widened greatly.

My heart fluttered, and my whole body froze in place like a stone statue, as if I had met Medusa’s eyes.

It was because the words Ed had just casually uttered pierced his eardrums.

“Hu-ha. Whoo-ha.”

But don’t freeze here.

Enya took a deep breath to calm her pounding heart.

It was none other than Candidate No. 97 who announced that Ed would drop out.

It wasn’t the 98th one.

“Come in at number 98.”

However, when his name was called, the tension he had struggled to suppress began to creep up.

In addition, as I entered the examination room, the face of Ed, whom I had a crush on, caught my eye, and my heart, which I had worked so hard to calm down, began to race like a runaway locomotive.

It was to the point where I could feel the blushing face in real time no matter how fast my heart beat.

“Candidate No. 98, please introduce yourself.”

So when it was your turn to introduce yourself.

Enya couldn’t properly utter the lines she had prepared so hard.

Like an artificial narration with a lot of buffering, it was just reciting lines of readability that couldn’t understand the context.

“I, I, I am… the Cruell family’s… other, only daughter. Enya…”

My head seemed to be out of order.

Without knowing what the hell he was talking about, he kept pouring out meaningless words.

Why are you so tense?

Her feelings for Ed grew so much that it seemed that her thoughts about him were eating away at her thoughts.

Even at this moment, looking at his face, I had useless thoughts about being good-looking.

“…”

So after the self-introduction, Her Highness and the Archmage’s expressions were cold.

Ed was also looking at himself with a sad face.

The world started spinning round and round.

‘Ah, ah, no way… I’m going to fall off like this.’

Originally this wasn’t it.

This wasn’t what he was like.

Originally, the most beautiful woman in the Cruel Territory and a genius in swordsmanship, the default was to be confident in a position that was always admired.

That’s why he always poured out direct words, and his eyes were clear with conviction.

Guys his age looked up to him and looked up to try to talk to him somehow.

‘That’s me…’

But when he found someone he really liked, he broke down like this.

Every night, holding hands and kissing with him, I had disturbing imaginations, and I had fallen into a pitiful figure hugging a pillow to soothe my heart.

‘You’re no different from the other girls I used to think pathetically…’

This was no different from the pathetic women who fell into delusion.

The image of them feeling a similar love feeling towards the prince in the story, and not thinking about polishing themselves and just delusional.

‘Now I…’

Now, he was their selfless figure.

In this way, the reality keeps getting further away, but the delusion of the future that connects him is still unfolding in his head.

Even now, his lips fill his field of vision, and he and her own image fiercely overlapping each other do not seem to overlap.

“That, so… My, what motivated me to apply… female, various… Introduction? That’s why the empire…”

ruined.

Desire completely swallowed reason.

The intense desire to have Ed kept making strange delusions and making my head dizzy.

Her eyes, which had always been clear and clear, were spinning around in a blur, and her face, which had been full of confidence, was burning red and melting.

Enya was no exception to being the best person in front of someone she likes.

‘I’m going to fall…’

Elena and the princess’ expressions were cold.

Ed was also scratching his head with a skeptical look on his face.

However, at this point where she was getting farther and farther away from passing, Enya’s delusion started to run wild.

‘It’s okay… even if I fall from here, I, I… I’m the closest to Ed…’

The reason is that he is Ed’s best friend.

Besides, this delegation was only for a week, and there was a high probability that nothing special would happen in a week.

Rather, it may be a better strategy to embrace him first, who is full of fatigue from the long trip.

Coincidentally, his own family has developed a manual therapy method that relieves body fatigue, so if Ed’s body is relaxed with it, he may be able to build more good feelings than the envoys.

In the process, if his body comes into contact and he feels the same desire as himself, he may be able to turn his absurd imagination into reality.

‘Baby, hurry up and go to the dormitory…’

I wanted to finish the screening quickly and go back to the dormitory to continue that delusion.

Rubbing one’s body against a pillow, imagining ‘starting with a lucky skebe that happened by chance during manual therapy and doing such and such stupid things’.

‘That, yes…! Taking advantage of Ed’s departure… if you use the pillow in Ed’s room… it will make you feel better…’

And now, while Ed was away, he even fantasized about breaking into his dormitory and hugging his pillow.

Meanwhile, Elena asked the last question.

“…Please explain why you must be selected.”

Why should you be chosen?

There was no such thing anymore.

The judges failed anyway, so I had to go to the dormitory quickly and hug a pillow to soothe this sense of loss…

– human will. It is the human will to find order.

But then,

Suddenly, something Ed had said ran through his mind.

And with that voice as a catalyst, the conversation I had with him started to come to mind.

It was a small conversation we had in his lab one day.

-Ed, what are all these records?

-yes?

-Here, the writing written by date. what record is this?

Numerous records floating on the screen.

The self in my memory had asked about the records plastered with X marks.

Then Ed, who had come to his side before he knew it, answered with a smile.

-Ah, that’s what you mean. record the results of the experiment.

-···Experiment result? ·····Everything is a failure?

-yes. all failed It’s a bit difficult subject.

However, his answer was unexpected.

He, who always seemed to succeed, was talking about his failures calmly.

How hard it must have been to hide so many failures.

I felt sorry for Ed.

-·····It must have been very difficult. It must be painful to write this down.

-Um… not really? Of course what

But this time, his answer was unexpected.

Obviously, failure is an unpleasant memory that he wants to forget quickly, but he took it for granted.

Enya asked why.

– Of course? Write down the failures?

-uh. Engineering is also a science. You have to accept failure and leave a record to increase your chances of success. Even if it failed, it is valuable data.

Valuable data even if it fails.

The moment Enya heard that answer, she seemed to understand a little why Ed was such an outstanding person.

He did not regard failure as his own dark history, but fully accepted it, accurately recorded it, and used it as a foundation for success.

– That’s great. I had a hard time accepting my failures.

On the other hand, he denied reality.

Because he was always revered as a swordsman genius, he could not easily accept the wall he encountered for the first time.

-···Well, that’s me too. I get angry when I don’t get the results I expected. However, if the result is distorted or erased, it becomes difficult to measure the correct value. If you interpret it as you like and arbitrarily match the values, that’s not science. So integrity is more important than anything else in what I do.

Ed’s value is honesty.

It was to correctly measure and record the phenomenon and use it as food for the next attempt.

‘What am I doing?’

but currently.

He was running away from reality, completely oblivious to his realization at the time.

When she thought that the screening had failed anyway, she fell into a dark desire to break into Ed’s dormitory secretly, fantasizing about having sex with Ed.

‘Let’s not ignore the truth.’

So Enya began to see the reality she was given.

It was clear that he had shown a pathetic appearance, and that the distance from him would grow further.

So now she started thinking about what she had to do, not what she wanted.

To be the person Ed needs.

To be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, the priority was to become a person who was not ashamed of himself.

“The reason why I must be chosen here…”

Enya, with a clear mind, began to open her mouth.

The eyes that had been spinning in a blur with clear eyes.

The face that had been burning red and melted down with a straight expression.

The heat concentrated in the chest and lower body is evenly distributed throughout the body.

I started digging into why I needed him.

The corners of Ed’s mouth, which had been hardened the whole time, went up.

***

One more member added.

Enya Cruell.

Although his self-introduction and motivation for applying were a mess, he succeeded in persuading him why he was indispensable to the delegation.

Certainly, taking her to the delegation this time would definitely benefit.

‘It was amazing.’

In fact, I was about to drop her.

The princess and Elena, who had been looking at her with a hard expression the whole time, probably had the same opinion.

However, Enya succeeded in reversing the chilled atmosphere.

He took out a large marble and started to show the ‘sword dance’ he had prepared.

-Sue.

The start of the reversal was the moment she grabbed the sword.

Silence passed for a while as the tip of the sword pointed toward the ground.

Meanwhile, Enya caught her breath.

He opened his eyes and started to move his body.

It was like dancing.

Smooth and flexible motion.

It was one of the traits of the Cruel family.

Enya’s natural talent itself.

It took my breath away from its beauty.

The imaginary enemies were Enya and Hogak.

The sum of the swords was divided as if dancing.

It was as if a huge white snake tried to wrap itself around the body, and the white tiger ducked here and there, looking for an opportunity to attack.

This was also one of the skilled swordsmen of the Cruell family.

Detailed body movements added depth to martial arts.

-Chack!

Eventually, it was the difference between winning and losing.

The white snake that tried to choke the body of the white tiger was torn to pieces.

The snake was the marble Enya had cut.

The moment Enya danced the sword, the white marble turned into a huge white snake.

Enya’s sword dance was ecstatic enough to make her see such a vision.

– swish swish swish swish.

Before long, Enya turned her sword with a skillful hand.

As if shaking off the opponent’s blood, the sword spun several times in the air at high speed.

In that state, Enya took the lead.

I pushed the sword into the scabbard as naturally as water flowed.

-Ku-gu-gu-gu-gung…

And at the same time, the marble that Enya had cut crumbled.

However, the peeled marble had the shape of a dwarf.

Iron Hammer.

‘Gretun Dagrion’, the founder of the Dwarf Kingdom and the god of blacksmithing, stood holding an iron hammer.

It was a look that retained the dignity of the previous life.

“…”

We just hardened.

This was the talent that Enya had given up while obsessing over the sword art.

Illya deserved to cry and tell him to give up some of his kicks.

“…passed.”

But I already know.

That Enya’s sword art would also reach the same level.

At that time, everyone will realize the beauty of ‘a single sword with everything poured into it’, just like today when she was mesmerized by her sword dance.
