My Magic Tools Are Selling Too Well

52 – If we remain friends (3)

“Can I really go?”

While reading the letter, I didn’t feel the reality for some reason, so I asked her.

‘Alchemist’s Day’ was a forum for discussions and discussions where alchemists from all over the continent gathered in one place and shared academic stories.

Of course, it was an event where famous alchemists from all over the world gathered, and most scholars who were theoretically well versed in alchemy also attended.

Unlike the ＜Magic Tool Festival＞, which introduces and exhibits creative magic tools, it is an event that focuses entirely on academic purposes.

For this reason, the warriors who attended the ‘Alchemist’s Day’ event were mostly academic members of alchemy societies, academy professors and scholars, and other prestigious individual alchemists.

Like the letter I just read, ‘academy undergraduates’ were rarely invited to this event.

“I’m asking for something obvious. Sacher, you are the most interested alchemist on the continent right now. I think you can have a little confidence.”

“It is, but… Anyway, it’s the first time an undergraduate has attended Alchemist’s Day… .”

“Not the first time.”

“yes?”

I asked in surprise.

Who else was there besides me?

In fact, ‘Alchemist’s Day’ was an event that seemed a bit like a story from a distant country to me, so I wasn’t very interested.

There are events like that, and it’s not the kind of event that undergraduates attend…

I had only seen this much in the newspaper, and I did not know in detail what kind of attendees had been in the past.

However, Professor Melaine seemed to be no big deal.

He replied in a nonchalant tone.

“Ariel Tirpe, vice president of the academy, was also invited when he was in his third year at the academy.”

“ah… .”

I expected it just in case, but it is what it is.

The only person who could set a precedent for this exception was Ariel Tyrpe.

As I let out a sigh of exclamation, Professor Meline slightly narrowed her eyes.

“Why are you making that face?”

“… It’s Ariel. He is a genius expected to succeed the great alchemist, but the comparison itself feels embarrassing.”

“That’s a funny word.”

Professor Melaine looked at me with lofty shining brown eyes and continued.

“I think Sacher, you are more talented than Vice President Ariel.”

“yes?!”

I got up from my seat in shock at the unexpected bombshell remarks.

Then, he quickly checked in and out of the professor’s room to make sure no one was around.

“phew… .”

Fortunately, no one seemed to have heard of this, so I let out a sigh of relief.

And with a sad face, he said to Professor Meline.

“professor… Please don’t say things like that. I’m not sure where to go… .”

But she didn’t seem to care at all about the stares around her.

“I was just saying what I thought. Sacher, you are the greatest talent in alchemy in my standards.”

Professor Melaine talked about it like an outrage, but in fact, this is a very sensitive topic these days.

Ariel Tyrpe and Sacher Philippe.

Which of the two is more talented?

A year ago, anyone who brought up the subject would have been considered an idiot.

Ariel Tirfe, the genius princess who graduated from the academy and research institute as the youngest person on the continent and won the vice president in her mid-twenties.

She and an academy undergraduate who are just a bit of a standout talent.

It was because it was rude to Ariel to compare the two.

The greatest genius alchemist of the era.

Since the father of alchemy, Claudy Lajour, there has been no other alchemist throughout history than Ariel who has received such a grand nickname.

As such, the alchemists’ support for her was overwhelming.

But lately, the situation has taken a slight turn.

Even within the academy, I was called a lazy genius.

He made and sold high-performing magic tools, and invented an original magic tool called [Safe Cage].

In the ＜Academy Coliseum＞, he demonstrated skillful control and production of golems, and won the championship by introducing a new stone-type magic tool called [Vine Stone].

An amazing performance that drew the attention of curious alchemists at once.

The climax here was the development of [Anti-Venom].

If the previous activity was a level that could be achieved at the academy professor level, this magic tool was an antidote for ‘Venom Arcus’, which no alchemist on the continent could conquer.

As I worked on an amazing invention that would go down in the history of alchemy, the previously controversial dispute about Ariel and I had to be rekindled.

Even on the ‘anonymous bulletin board of the Faculty of Alchemy’, this kind of writing was posted like a poster.

＜Did Ariel give birth? Sacher gave birth?＞

Honestly, isn’t the sequence clearing up with one anti-venom?

Now, the kingdom of Tyrpe is no longer good for the empire with alchemy.

-What did you give birth to, you idiot.

-Anti-Venom was all made by Professor Meline. Sacher is just a spoon.

-I still think that Ariel is the top. There is no comparison at the thesis level. Because Sacher has not published anything other than patent papers.

-You know how to make Sacher Golems?

-whatever.

-Everyone, don’t ignore the kingdom of Tyrpe.

– What are you? Become a princess?

-profit… !!

Due to the abundance of aggressive opinions, belittling and profanity, the poster was quickly taken down.

However, the debate about Ariel and I was so hot that this kind of discussion was taking place on an anonymous bulletin board in the undergraduate school.

In this situation, Professor Meline suddenly said, ‘Sachere is better!’

If someone supported Ariel had heard it, they would have rushed over and started another futile argument saying, ‘Ariel is better!’

… … .

Me and Ariel, the protagonists of the controversy.

We are working on the alchemy store business called ＜The Night When the Moon is Falling＞, and we have a stronger partnership than anyone else.

“Anyway, this is a good opportunity. Don’t lose confidence and participate confidently, Sacher. Perhaps through this opportunity, you can put an end to the unreasonable accusations that you do not have a stake in the production of Anti-Venom.”

Professor Meline’s words were easily accepted.

Having made my name known and growing so quickly, I feel like there are a lot of people who are jealous of my reputation these days and want to damage it.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Just looking at the contents of the anonymous bulletin board right now, there are people who think that I only put a spoon in the development of [Anti-Venom].

If you participate in the ‘Alchemist’s Day’ event, there will be quite a few alchemists who point out this.

Rather, Professor Meline was confronting him head-on and telling those who were pouring out unreasonable accusations to refute them logically.

“Since it is also the exam period, I will prepare the lecture. Instead, Sacher, you prepare for the Q&A. Are you okay?”

“all right.”

* * *

If you are a student at the academy, it is a rule that all students must wear a school uniform inside the academy.

This is because researchers, faculty members, or outsiders must be able to be identified, and grades can be distinguished through the ribbons on school uniform tops.

It was a rule to wear green and black ribbons for 1st and 2nd graders, and blue and red ribbons for 3rd and 4th graders.

However, only one department, the swordsmanship department, was free from this school uniform regulation.

Due to the nature of the faculty, there were many practice items in the classes or assignments of major subjects, and the cumbersomeness of the school uniform interfered with the battle.

Especially during the exam season like now, there were many students doing personal training at the gymnasium, so most of the swordsmanship department was free to wear uniforms.

The same was true of Schnika swinging her sword while sweating in the gymnasium.

She was training wearing cool plain clothes and only a few protective gear, not the tight school uniform she usually wore when listening to lectures.

Ruen stared at Shunika like that.

“… Aren’t you uncomfortable?”

I asked because of the excessive decoration and a bit of exposure to call it a training outfit, but Shunika only smiled brightly.

“huh! The cloak is a bit annoying, but there is no problem with using a sword!”

Booung- Booung-

As if to show off that there was no problem, Schnika’s large sword was swung in the air several times.

Seeing how she wielded a large sword that looked heavy at first glance with one hand, I could tell how strong her physical strength and strength were.

“so? What is the reason our Ruen suddenly came to the gymnasium-”

As if Shunika was about to finish her training, she put her greatsword into the scabbard and said.

In fact, Ruen rarely finds anyone.

Even when I go to eat, Shunika or Sachere tend to look for her, and since she lives in a dormitory, there was no particular reason to come home with her.

Besides, Ruen is a student who is just as greedy for his heroic talent (magic) as Shunica.

Almost all of his time not attending lectures was spent reading magic books in the library or improving his magic skills.

Sacher is busy studying magic tools and making a living.

Ruen is busy studying magic and living.

Two friends who spend much more time studying than Schnika’s swordsmanship training.

It wasn’t for no good reason that Schnika sang a song for the two of them to go on a picnic like every day.

“… Sacher is strange.”

Ruen expressed her worries in a low voice.

At the first word, Shunika’s face was stained with doubt.

“Satchel?”

“huh.”

Slowly, Ruen started to tell Shunika about the things she felt were strange.

I keep thinking of Sacher and wondering what he’s doing.

When I keep thinking of him, I feel uncomfortable on one side of my heart and a thumping feeling on the other side of my heart.

when you’re alone with him

Unlike before, I keep feeling restless.

About this strange phenomenon that has recently appeared to you.

Luen carefully confessed.

Schunika, who had heard the whole story, asked with a strange expression.

“Louen. It’s not that Satchel is weird, isn’t it that Luen is weird?”

“… Anyway, Sacher is strange.”

It seems that he brought up the story out of convenience, but anyway, Ruen confessed all his concerns.

I didn’t bother talking to Delia.

It was a bit embarrassing, and anyway, it was an extension of the story I just told you.

Schunika’s face also turned slightly serious.

After getting close to Ruen, her first worries.

I couldn’t give you a solution to it in vain.

Shunika, who put down her sword and thought slowly, opened her mouth as if she had come to her own conclusion.

“hmm… I think… .”

Luen looked at her with a nervous face.

If it’s Schunika who doesn’t shy away from interpersonal relationships and has been watching Sacher for as long as she has.

It will surely give you a clear answer.

With that in mind, I waited for her to open her mouth.

“Maybe we all want to go on a picnic together?”

“… picnic?”

Ruen tilted his head at the word that came out of nowhere and asked again.

“huh! It’s been a while since we went on a picnic. Since Satchel keeps spending her time on research lately, watching that, Luen thinks, ‘Ah~ I want to go on a picnic’. I lost my magic power because I didn’t eat the sandwich! how is it? Don’t you think I’m right?”

“… … .”

Ruen stared at Shunika without changing her expression.

Something was firmly wrong.

It was his own mistake to come to her.

The friend I thought was my only counseling partner was just that.

I was an idiot who only thought of eating a sandwich in my head.
