Rebirth Just Before The 10th Circle

After lying on the ground, Zeppelin and Winston rush to the sound of Merlin's resignation.

For them, Merlin's resignation was a ray of light in the dark days ahead.

Merlin waved his hand as he whined while clinging to himself uncommonly.

pop!

“Aww!”

“Keek!”

4 circle magic air boom.

The two new models flew through the sky again due to the strong air explosion.

All of Avalon's towers were disbanded like that.

"Sigh···."

Sasha's footsteps toward the dormitory seemed weak.

***

And the next day.

The senior class cadets gathered at the main gate of the academy rather than the classroom.

Of course, Merlin was mixed in.

Merlin glanced at Kay, who had brought him here, to explain.

If you pretend, Chuck and Kay immediately entered the explanation.

“Uh, I slept all day yesterday, so you probably don’t know… Oh, today is a field trip day.”

"field trip? . . . it varies.”

Merlin muttered to her face of her absurdity.

The cadets from all over the place gather and talk.

It was the 16-year-old boys and girls who were so excited that there were no boring classes.

Merlin looked at it and asked.

“By the way, are there only advanced classes for field trips?”

“He . . . said that the kids in the other class would go somewhere else, and the senior class would go somewhere special.”

“A special place? where?"

“Yes, it is the Generium National Science Research Complex.”

Merlin gave an interesting expression to the appearance of a place she had never thought of.

Generium National Science Research Complex.

It was the center of scientific development where numerous research institutes of the Generium Empire were concentrated.

A place where scientists and general academy cadets who dream of becoming scientists wish to enter.

It was also where Merlin was curious.

‘Isn’t all the Mana Stones of the Empire gathered there?’

Recalling that, she felt that this field trip might be a lot more fun than she thought.

Then a thought suddenly came to my mind.

“It’s a National Science Research Complex… But why do the Knights Academy cadets go there? Are you saying that even the knights at the guard station should take a tour? And since it is a state-run facility, can ordinary people like us just enter?”

From Merlin's point of view, the National Science Research Complex was an interesting place, but most of them were aristocratic children and had little relevance to the cadets of the Genesis Academy who handled swords.

Kay answered Merlin's question.

“No, that’s not it… To be precise, I’m going to visit the ‘it’ in the research complex. And... maybe because we got permission, we can go on a field trip, ah, isn't it?"

"that? what is that?"

"that's···."

Just as Kay was about to speak, Merlin quickly raised a hand to interrupt his explanation.

“No, it’s okay.”

"Yeah?"

“Originally, it’s more fun when you don’t know about this. huh.”

“·················ogue.”

Merlin's whim of asking and not telling.

Kay, who was so accustomed to Merlin like that now, showed an insignificant expression on her face.

After a while, several large wagons prepared by the academy arrived in front of the happy senior cadets.

Merlin was there.

‘It’s a national scientific research complex…’

A wagon carrying Merlin with an interesting smile on his lips began to move quickly.

Are these?!(1)

Are these?!(1)

“Oh, how big is that?”

Merlin was slightly admiring the scenery through the carriage's window.

The National Science Research Complex was a place where various research institutes were concentrated.

Among them, the place that the senior class cadets of the Genesis Academy visited was a place called the National Strategic Weapons Research Institute.

When the Genesis Academy cadets arrived at the lab, a male researcher greeted them.

The teaching assistant, who was in charge of guiding the senior class, came forward and shook hands with the researcher.

After a brief greeting, the researcher stood in front of the group of cadets.

"Hello. My name is Hurum, a junior researcher at the Ordnance Research Institute who is in charge of guiding this field trip.”

The cadets welcomed him with a brief applause.

Hurum's voice with a small smile continued.

“It is very nice to meet all of you who are young and capable who will lead the Zerenium Empire.”

Merlin muttered to his greeting, 'You're young,' but she couldn't hear Hurum.

“First of all, I would like to give a brief notice before this tour. First, tours of our lab are not always easy.”

Hurum instilled intimidation among the cadets, pointing to the guards standing on the perimeter of the lab.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

“With the agreement between the head of Genesis Academy and the director of our research institute, we have specifically allowed the senior class of Genesis Academy to visit. Therefore, even thinking of the two of you, you should not cause any controversy, and please follow my control.”

"Yeah!"

“Second, it is okay to look at the lab items, but you must not touch them carelessly. One of the other academy cadets who had visited the other day was expelled from school for putting mana stones in his pocket. When you leave after the tour, your belongings will be checked, so please keep that in mind.”

As soon as Hurum's story was over, Merlin shuddered and shook her shoulder.

When Kay asked, 'Why are you doing this?' she just waved her hand saying that Merlin wasn't a big deal.

Of course, with her mouth, he was stern and mumbled.

As Hurum finished the story, Merlin raised his hand.

"I have a question."

“Say yes.”

“If it was an ordnance research institute, this would be an outside area too, so even if you are an academy student, does it matter if you just open it up to the civilians?”

Hurum answered the question with a smile.

“I'm not ignoring you, but the research done in the lab isn't something you can tell by what you see. So, take a look.”

“·················ogue.”

“And you don't have to worry, the real fuss research is done in a strictly confidential area. The tour course is a place that has already been opened to many people, and the Empire and the Research Institute have decided that this is enough to show. Or, it is also open to foreign delegations for publicity purposes.”

"promotion?"

“The purpose of our research is to increase the defense power of the Generium Empire. Therefore, everything developed here is a symbol of the future national power of the Generium Empire.”

"Aha. So, since we are a scary country with such weapons, are you threatening to say, ‘Don’t be reckless…?”

"haha. Well... that's not wrong."

Although Merlin's expression was a bit harsh, it was the exact point.

By showing some of the new weapons, which are the core of national defense, the status of the empire is known and the surrounding countries are alerted.

“The reason we have allowed you to visit the Genesis Academy is to show the power of your country to those who will be active in various parts of the Empire in the future. So, please come with your eyes wide open.”

So Hurum ended the explanation.

“Okay, let’s finish the story and start the tour. Everyone, please come and follow me.”

A tour of the lab finally started.

Since then, from the establishment process of the institute, the history of the head of the institute who served in the past

Weapons made in the laboratory and the historical events that resulted from them.

Even an exhibition hall showing the evolution of weapons by age.

A typical field trip lasted several hours.

As time passed, Merlin's dissatisfaction grew.

‘Isn’t there anything special other than this?’

Weapons that have changed as science has progressed are certainly moderately interesting from Merlin's point of view.

In particular, the discovery of a substance called gunpowder and the resulting heat weapon was enough to surprise Merlin.

But that was it.

‘So what about research? When are you going to show me your research?!’

Merlin's only interest is research conducted in the laboratory.

Among them, it was particularly related to mana stones.

‘Surely there must be research using mana stones somewhere here.’

It was a kind of intuition and certainty.

‘The field of weapon development has a great influence on the national strategy, and there is no reason not to study mana stones.’

So Merlin wanted to see the lab quickly.

Did Merlin's wish come true?

The next course of the field trip was the laboratory.

“This is a place where renowned scientists from various fields, not just weapons production, gather to conduct joint research.”

However, the description of the lab was short, contrary to Merlin's expectations.

Moreover, he was unable to take a close look inside the laboratory by blocking access with a glass window.

All I could see was a few researchers walking back and forth in the lab.

“Then let’s move on to the next place.”

To make matters worse, the researcher in charge of the guide started guiding us to another place.

The other cadets moved quickly to see the boring lab, but from Merlin's point of view, it was just frustrating.

'What is this···.'

He thought he was going to get something from a tour of the National Science Institute, but he didn't get anything.

He couldn't figure out anything, no matter how much Merlin, by just passing by.

But when everyone else is leaving, you can't be left alone.

He glanced back at the lab with regretful eyes.

It's like looking for an opportunity.

And the opportunity came sooner than expected.

“You have worked hard since morning!”

Hurum led the cadets to their next destination on a large lawn.

“It is lunch time now. The lab is also lunchtime, so we will take a break.”

As soon as the words were finished, a gleam flashed in Merlin's eyes.

“Enjoy your meal and I will see you in an hour.”

Hurum, who gave a brief greeting, turned around and disappeared.

Soon after, the lunch box prepared by the academy was distributed to the cadets.

‘Huh. Is that so?’

There was a cadet who secretly disappeared the moment everyone was absorbed in their lunch box.

“Uh… ta, top lord? Sasha, Ta, have you not seen Top Lord?”

“Ummm… you were here a while ago.”

With Merlin's lunchbox, Kay looked around.

"Winston, Zeppelin... haven't you seen Top Lord?"

"I do not know."

“I must have gone to the bathroom.”

After looking for a while, Merlin was nowhere to be seen.

At that moment, Kei and Sasha's eyes met.

“Eh, ah...”

"surely?"

Their gazes turned towards the lab they had just passed through.

***

Merlin that Sasha and Kay are looking for.

He was clinging to the lab hallway he had passed ten minutes before.

And many researchers rushed past him.

It was to go for lunch.

“So what happened…”

“Hey, does that make sense?”

Researchers who talk about dorando.

But none of them cared for Merlin, who was clinging to the hallway wall.

He passed by naturally as if he had never seen him.

This was also thanks to Merlin's magic.

4 Circle Magic, Hyde.

It was not a magic that made invisible like the 5th Circle Invisible, but it was a magic that obstructed the perception of others.

However, there was a fatal weakness in the hide, which was that you should never move after spreading the hide.

'Ah-oh. I'm going to die of discomfort. I need to make a 5th circle or something.’

Minor movements are fine, but when it moves dynamically, the Hyde is released, so Merlin was stuck against the wall until all the researchers passed by, unable to move.

So the researchers rush out.

“Have you all gone?”

Merlin, who was looking around, saw that no one was coming and started moving quickly again.

Merlin soon arrived in front of the lab.

He looked through the window to see the empty lab and smiled slightly.

However, there was one problem.

‘But how do you get in there?’

A lock was installed on the lab door.

It was a minimal device to prevent theft.

As he was thinking, he heard footsteps.
