I Became an Academy Mechanic Genius

6 – Me, I’m the Archmage!

next day.

Elena got out of bed, messing up her messy hair.

And as soon as she woke up, she smiled.

Because I feel excited after a long time.

‘Should I ask for it too?’

yesternight.

Elena kept Ed in her heart.

So I went to the villagers who had custom-made for Ed and looked at the things Ed invented one by one.

All of them were excellent inventions.

I couldn’t help but admire his creativity and engineering sense.

‘I must, I must bring him.’

At first, he only intended to undo his mistake.

A bidding competitor who lost his chance due to his arrogance.

Edgar Fix meant just that much to Elena.

but last night

After talking with the village chief, my feelings toward him subtly changed.

My heart was moved by his humanity that only gives talent for people.

Elena liked a person with such a kind heart.

Because she was already fed up with pretentious human relationships based only on her own interests.

I wanted to have an innate sage like Edgar Fix by my side.

“Aww!!”

So is it like that?

Elena stretched out feeling refreshed.

It was a poor inn compared to his own residence, but even that felt friendly.

It just felt like coming home from the village itself.

growl

Feeling hungry all of a sudden, Elena came down to the hall of the inn.

Sensing their presence, several men glanced at them with blank faces.

The eyes of a man seduced by his own outward charm.

However, this gaze was already familiar.

Compared to the nobles and powerful people in the city, it was a cute level.

As soon as they make eye contact, they immediately turn their heads away and avoid their gaze.

‘Come to think of it, everything from one to ten is amazing. Edgar Fix was unmoved even when I looked at him.’

But Edgar Fix did not avert his eyes.

The great sorceress and the teacher of the princess.

And even when he looked into his own eyes as the head professor at the academy, he was not at all intimidated.

He was just saying everything he had to say.

‘Even though I knew my identity, I was quiet. It wouldn’t be easy for a commoner to do that.’

Besides, Elena had a beautiful appearance.

She had such an outstanding appearance that any man who was vulnerable to a woman’s beauty would stare blankly at her.

But Edgar Fix didn’t care about that at all.

All his positions, innate beauty, and widespread fame.

I put all of that aside and treated myself as a person to person.

Food – I couldn’t help but smile.

A man who is so interested

“Ummm…”

However, she also had flaws.

that means no money.

Even though the head professor’s salary was high, she had a lot of debt.

In the first place, the relationship between himself and his adoptive parents was not a parent-child relationship, but a thorough transactional relationship.

Instead of taking their family name, he paid off the family’s debt, and those people used various political moves to make himself a central nobleman instead of paying off the debt.

Because of this, Elena had no choice but to worry about choosing the breakfast menu.

Because I had to choose the most cost-effective food.

“I’ll order a C set.”

In the end, she ordered set C.

It was the cheapest food at the inn.

About 15 minutes later.

Elena ate and looked around the entire inn.

People were in groups of twos and threes talking about Ed, who was about to arrive.

– Can you see this? Ed made it the other day, and this one is amazing!

-Khehehehe. Again, about Ed. Well, I’m also benefiting from the equipment he made.

– He will become a big person someday. How did you come up with the idea to make something like this?

Ed’s talk here.

I’m talking about Ed too.

There was talk of Ed everywhere.

Probably because Ed will start receiving ‘made-to-order’ in two hours.

I heard from the village chief last night that Ed gets a request for ‘order production’ every Saturday at 12:00.

So the whole villagers were excited about ordering custom items.

‘Now I can clear up the misunderstanding.’

And Elena was equally excited about meeting Ed.

How happy he would be if he let him know that he was given another chance.

Elena smiled at the thought of him who would be delighted.

***

The past two days, I had a honey-like vacation.

They roamed all over the big city with James, playing and eating to their heart’s content.

Of course, I paid for everything with my own money.

In the first place, the purpose of this trip was to free James’ mind.

As a result, we played really well.

We drank all sorts of good quality drinks and had heated discussions about engineering approaches to equipment construction.

Of course, women were not left out either.

James lost his wife 10 years ago.

I sent a note to the female employee James liked as a joke, encouraging James to remarry.

At the same time, I gave him a flower, but the woman checked James’ face and expressed her liking, saying that it would have been better if she went straight to James and gave him the flower herself.

How funny was James’ face when he was embarrassed at that time.

I shouted ‘Going!’ and left the inn, and James and the waitress talked for a while while drinking.

Well, in the end, the female employee saw the ring on the ring finger of James’ left hand, so it didn’t connect well, but I was able to make fun memories.

‘Now it’s time to work.’

Even though it was only 2 days, I had a good vacation.

So now it’s time to work.

Every Saturday at 12 o’clock, I decided to get a product production request, so I hurried on my way home.

And at that time, it was also the day to receive the ‘Honey Quest’.

‘I have to raise my experience.’

Honey Quest.

The reason why this day, where villagers are asked to make items, is called ‘Honey Quest’ is simple.

This is because one of my belonging items, the ‘Hammer of the Creator’, has an effect that increases the experience level of the skill level the more equipment is crafted.

And as the skill level rises, the seal on the Creator’s hammer is gradually lifted.

Because of this, the day when the equipment production request came in was inevitable for me.

This is because the greater the extent of the increase in skill experience the more various equipments are made through a lot of agony.

‘Receive money, increase villagers’ reputation, and earn experience. It’s honey.’

Truly three birds with one stone.

You can earn money, gain reputation, and increase experience.

Humming a song, I hurried on my way home.

***

The peaceful rural town of Greta.

A rare sight unfolded there.

It was because most of the townsfolk were gathering and crowded, as if there was a neighborhood meeting at James’ blacksmith’s shop.

“It is time to come!”

However, they did not come together to have a neighborhood meeting.

Their purpose is to request item production every Saturday.

In order to entrust Ed, the pride of this town, with the production of items, they gave up their work and gathered all of them here.

And among this numerous crowd, there was also ‘Helena von Ilaid Rosario’, who had risen to the level of an archmage and was also the teacher of the princess.

A strong man in the top 10 of the empire’s power hierarchy is waiting for a commoner boy among the crowd of ordinary people.

So, for Elena, this was a very unfamiliar experience.

Wherever he goes, he fears himself and opens the way, but the villagers only care about Ed.

Since it is a rural village on the outskirts, no one knows the face of the great wizard except the village chief and his closest aides.

Besides, I asked the village chief to keep it a secret from the other villagers.

Currently, the villagers regard themselves as ‘excellent wizards’.

The only position that the villagers knew about was ‘the city wizard who heard of Ed and came to entrust him with making equipment’.

‘Well, this isn’t necessarily bad.’

However, Elena’s experience wasn’t too bad.

Rather, she felt liberated for the first time in a long time because she was not free from the eyes of others wherever she went.

I felt as if I had returned to the days of commoners who roamed freely outside.

Maybe that’s why this town feels like home.

“Ohhhhh! Ed! You’re back!”

while thinking like that.

Ed finally arrived.

The townsfolk welcomed James and Ed as if it were a golden homecoming.

“hey! James! Did you pass the exam well?”

“Looks and mana, I must have stuck with him!”

“cancer! Didn’t you take Ed with you!”

“Kheu… Now, if Ed is not there, how will I be able to live?”

The villagers didn’t even care about James’s judgement.

It’s because he took Ed, the genius prodigy of Greta Village.

However, the answer from James was unexpected.

“hahahaha. Haven’t had any luck Something fell off.”

···Failed in the bidding competition?

The villagers started to mumble.

Breaking out in a cold sweat, Elena stepped away from the crowd.

“No, if you are not selected, who the hell was chosen?”

“This is very surprising”

“Who are the judges? You judged with complete nonsense!”

“Didn’t the professors say they saw it? I heard they invited a great nobleman, the head professor or something.”

“Tsk tsk. It’s because the person called the head professor doesn’t have the eyes to see it that way.”

“Isn’t that a good thing for us? ha ha ha! Ed! I’m counting on you!”

Elena’s face turned red.

Words I had never heard in my life came pouring from all sides.

Do you have no discerning eyes for yourself?

Although he was always praised as a genius.

‘Ugh…’

But it was self-employed.

It was none other than himself who disqualified Edgar in a moment of anger.

Elena put on the hood and once again reflected on what had happened.

This is why you shouldn’t throw people out hastily.

“Okay, that’s over now. Items must be ordered. I’ll call you a waiting list, so get in line.”

While Elena is self-reflection.

James started calling the waiting list.

The order of waiting for product production is 1. The fewer the number of commissioned productions, the less. 2. Items that are essential enough to interfere with life 3. The shorter the production period, the faster the order was given.

And after checking these three items in advance, James had pre-determined the order of waiting for the villagers.

So now all I had to do was call the prearranged waiting order.

“1st Graham, 2nd Jackson, 3rd Aletta, 4th Bilson, 5th Jake…”

So the names of the villagers began to be called one after another.

A new line was created as the villagers whose names were called lined up in turn.

“Number 47, Tom.”

With the end of Tom No. 47, a row of rows was completed.

just one person.

Putting on a hood, Elena stood stiffly, noticing.

Because she was an outsider, James hadn’t made a reservation ahead of time.

Before long, James called Elena, who was wearing a hood.

“Hey, who are you? I checked all the waiting tickets…”

James asks who he is.

At this, Elena hesitated.

What should I answer?

In the meantime, a village middle-aged man gave his answer.

“ah! James, this is a wizard from the city. After hearing Ed’s rumors, he said he wants to request equipment.”

A middle-aged man who recited the disguised identity he had asked the village chief for.

James nodded, looking at him.

James had also lived in this rural village all his life, so he did not know Elena’s face at all.

“Ummm… For guests from out of town, please wait in the last order. Because you didn’t make a reservation before that.”

After that, James entered the forge.

Whiiing- A desolate wind blew and shook Elena’s hood.

Elena trembled as if convulsing, realizing her situation.

‘Am I in the last place now? I, the archmage?’

The great sorceress and the teacher of the princess.

And Elena von Ilaid Rosario, head professor at the academy.

That’s why he was assigned the order in last place.

She, who was treated as the top priority anytime, anywhere, was pushed to the very end.

In the midst of that, a boy spoke in a ticking tone.

“What are you doing. Hurry back and line up.”

“Ah yes.”

But now there was nothing.

I am a complete outsider here.

Elena trudged to the end of the line.
