Main Tower, 79th floor.
Vice-principal's Office.
Stella Academy's vice-principal and Class 8 mage, Archie Hayden, stood before Professor Maizen Tyren and said.
"I heard that you were humiliated by a student this ti, Professor Maizen."
".... I am ashad of you. How do you feel?"
At question, Maizen bit his lip.
"... I feel bad."
"Is that it?"
A persistent question.
However, Maizen seed bewitched by his question.
He answered.
"I feel bad and angry. Why was a bastard given such talent... I can't quite understand."
"Yes. Very good. Haha."
Archie Hayden stood up, patted Professor Maizen on the shoulder, and whispered quietly.
"You should move forward with that spirit. What do you think? I have been working with the researchers on the study of 'Delta Augntation Technique'."
"Is it being done?"
Professor Maizen was able to smile for the first ti.
"Of course."
Currently, he was conducting a very special research. In a very special organisation called Wulzerin, there were many outstanding 'researchers,' and they were currently conducting a research on 'Delta Augntation Technique' to combine alchemy and magic engineering.
Virtually impossible research.
Alchemy, which dealt with the essence of matter, and magic engineering, which gave magic to the material itself...
Nurous geniuses had tried so far, and all had failed.
But, this ti, it would be different.
"Does your head feel a little awake? The ti has co for the effect of the special 'blessing' that I have placed on you to expose itself."
"Yes. Thanks to that, research is progressing rapidly."
At those words, Archie smiled.
'Stupid...'
He wouldn't even know who he was being fooled by.
No, maybe he didn't mind even if he knew.
He coveted status and honor, and if he could obtain them, he would make contracts with real devils.
'A magic warrior to fight against the Dark Demons, who works for the Dark Demons...'
How much the world would laugh at that fact when they find out belatedly. Just thinking about that ti made him feel dizzy with excitent.
'It's about ti now.'
Pushed by the power of the magicians, the dark demons always had to hide. Now, there was only one way left.
With technology that was one step ahead of that of current mages, and cause chaos in the society.
'If alchemy engineering is completed, it is possible enough...'
'Soon, the ti will co. Until then, I will wait quietly with bated breath.'
——-
Alterisha had nothing that she could call a private laboratory. She was only temporarily using the warehouse attached to Professor Maizen Tyren's laboratory.
I had to submit the report for that group assignnt
When I ca to visit her, Alterisha greeted with a puzzled face.
"Haha... I didn't expect students to co even on weekends. Is that a report? Leave it here."
'What the hell are you doing?' I was about to ask, but I held back.
It was pure chaos. Why was the coffee cup hanging from the ceiling, and those wads of paper flying everywhere?
I wondered if it was an artistic decoration to decorate the background, and I really thought hard as to why the fluorescent lights were dancing around on the floor.
"I'll just leave it here."
When I put the thick book on the desk, it rumbled!
Sothing collapsed followed by the sound thunder and lightning.
"... Is it my fault?"
"Hehehehe... It's okay because I can clean it up right away! It's okay! Don't worry!"
"Ah, yes."
Alterisha smiled shyly and hurriedly tidied up the lab.
Actually, she was a teaching assistant who ignored even the students because she was always scolded by Maizen. Even she wasn't from Stella.
Did she say she was from a group of street alchemists?
Fortunately for her, she was able to join Stella Academy as an assistant, but unfortunately, she was a woman who suffered a lot because she worked under Maizen. "Ugh, this is a bit heavy..."
"Let help you."
When I picked up a box and moved it, Alterisha revealed a surprised expression.
'What are you so surprised about? Makes want to show off my muscles.'
By the way, when I put all the boxes aside, the blackboard that had been hidden ca into view.
It was.
"That's..."
It was a magic formula. It would be developed in the future and used by all mages worldwide.
A formula that would beco famous, I would have never thought it had already been developed as a beta version.
"Oh, that? Professor izen said that it's the formula he had been studying with the researchers."
Researchers? I was interested in magic formulas in the first place, so I didn't even know there was such a thing.
However, Alterisha seed to have always been interested in it, so she kept talking about it.
"That's called the Delta Augntation Technique. I... I wanted to see it too, but the professor told not to touch it, so I stopped. Maybe it's because I'm lacking? I wish I could study a formula like that soday. The professor always calls an idiot and curses at , but..."
"Is that so?"
By the way, that formula.
It was kind of familiar.
'What was it?'
A sense of illusion floated in my mory. Like a hazy dream, it could not be grasped.
"Can I take a look at this?"
′′Please feel free to, but if you get caught by the professor, you're in big trouble? Both you and I are very hated..."
She mumbled sothing, but my head was already full of other possibilities.
'A flower of hope that blood on a handful of dry and desolate land.'
It was a sentence that appeared all the ti when expressing Alterisha.
After the episode in which Professor Maizen transford into Dark Demon, Stella Academy was shaken to the core.
There was a dark demon in the academy.
In addition to the loss of reputation, material and human damages were great because of the rampage.
In addition, the Dark Demons completed the 'First formula of Alchemy Engineering, the 'Delta Augntation Technique', led by Professor Maizen Tyren, and the difference in this technology caused the Dark Demons to go crazy for a while.
Yes.
Alchemy engineering.
'So far, I've just been waiting patiently. One day, Alterisha acquired the technology of alchemy engineering and invented it.'
To develop products.
But when I thought about it, alchemy engineering wasn't Alterisha's technology in the first place.
It was the skill of the dark magicians.
'It wasn't a day or two when I was annoyed by the item monopoly while hunting dark demons in the ga. Why didn't I think of this?'
Those innurable items that made the already powerful black demons even stronger and more irritating.
How long did it take for that technology to co into the hands of mages?
At that ti, the gap in technology had already widened, so it was judged that they would never be able to surpass the technology of the Dark Demons.....
Alterisha.
As she stepped in, everything changed.
Ard with a genius brain, brilliant and novel ideas, she ca to mass-produce nurous 'items' that the Dark Magicians did not even dare to think of.
What if...
What if Alterisha got her hands on this technology first?
"... Assistant Alterisha?"
"Yes? Do you want so coffee?"
"No, that's not it..."
I looked into Alterisha's eyes. She was like an immature girl who now looked erratic for her age, but the mont she was given even the slightest 'possibility', she would imdiately spread her wings and fly away.
From now on, I would give her every little chance.
"Could it be that Professor Maizen bullied you? Isn't it annoying?"
"Yes? Why would you ask such a question..."
"If there was a way to get revenge very refreshingly, what would you do?"
"Ehehe, I'm only an assistant, and if I try to go for revenge, and get cut off, I would really be kicked out into the street! Hmmm, being holess has its own fun, though."
"So, how about this one? You will beco a better alchemist than Professor Maizen. No, better than all the alchemists in the world."
At my question, Alterisha looked at blankly and laughed like an idiot.
"Yeah, then... that would be great."
With that said, I was convinced. Alterisha was already very tired.
This life of being tortured by Maizen.
At best, the reality of having to take care of a professor in a dusty warehouse.
Her resentnt for her own talent, which was gradually rotting away, and the inability to spread her wings high.
Pain and bitterness.
Soday Alterisha would have dread of it too. She dread of becoming an alchemist and creating inventions to her heart's content... She dread of becoming such a scientist.
Although it was a dream that she had to put aside for a while because she was discouraged by reality.
'That dream will co true sooner or later.'
