Chapter 28-2


    Main Tower, 79th floor.


    Vice-principal''s Office.


    Ste Academy''s vice-principal and ss 8 mage, Archie Hayden, stood before Professor Maizen Tyren and said.


    I heard that you were humiliated by a student this time, Professor Maizen.


    . I am ashamed of you. How do you feel?"


    At question, Maizen bit his lip.


    I feel bad.


    Is that it?


    A persistent question.


    However, Maizen seemed 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 Augmentation Technique''."


    "Is it being done?


    Professor Maizen was able to smile for the first time.


    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 Augmentation Technique'' tobine 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


    Numerous geniuses had tried so far, and all had failed.


    But, this time, it would be different.


    Does your head feel a little awake? The time hase for the effect of the special ''blessing'' that I have ced on you to expose itself.


    "Yes. Thanks to that, research is progressing rapidly.


    At those words, Archie smiled.


    <em ss="chakra-text css-0">''Stupid


    He wouldn''t even know who he was being fooled by.


    No, maybe he didnt 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 wouldugh at that fact when they find out btedly. Just thinking about that time made him feel dizzy with excitement.


    <em ss="chakra-text css-0">''Its about time 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.


    <em ss="chakra-text css-0">''If alchemy engineering ispleted, it is possible enough...''


    <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Soon, the time wille. Until then, I will wait quietly with bated breath.


    -


    Alterisha had nothing that she could call a privateboratory. She was only temporarily using the warehouse attached to Professor Maizen Tyren''sboratory.


    I had to submit the report for that group assignment


    When I came to visit her, Alterisha greeted me with a puzzled face.


    Haha... I didn''t expect students toe even on weekends. Is that a report? Leave it here.


    <em ss="chakra-text css-0">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.


    Ill just leave it here.


    When I put the thick book on the desk, it rumbled!


    Something copsed 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 theb.


    Actually, she was a teaching assistant who ignored even the students because she was always scolded by Maizen. Even she wasnt from Ste.


    Did she say she was from a group of street alchemists?


    Fortunately for her, she was able to join Ste 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 me help you."


    When I picked up a box and moved it, Alterisha revealed a surprised expression.


    <em ss="chakra-text css-0">What are you so surprised about? Makes me want to show off my muscles.


    By the way, when I put all the boxes aside, the ckboard that had been hidden came into view.


    It was.


    "That''s..."


    It was a magic form. It would be developed in the future and used by all mages worldwide.


    A form that would be famous, I would have never thought it had already been developed as a beta version.


    Oh, that? Professor Meizen said that its the form he had been studying with the researchers."


    Researchers? I was interested in magic forms in the first ce, so I didn''t even know there was such a thing.


    However, Alterisha seemed to have always been interested in it, so she kept talking about it.


    Thats called the Delta Augmentation Technique. I... I wanted to see it too, but the professor told me not to touch it, so I stopped. Maybe it''s because I''mcking? I wish I could study a form like that someday. The professor always calls me an idiot and curses at me, but..."


    "Is that so?"


    By the way, that form.


    It was kind of familiar.


    <em ss="chakra-text css-0">''What was it?''


    A sense of illusion floated in my memory. 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, youre in big trouble? Both you and I are very hated


    She mumbled something, but my head was already full of other possibilities.


    <em ss="chakra-text css-0">''A flower of hope that bloomed on a handful of dry and destend.


    It was a sentence that appeared all the time when expressing Alterisha.


    After the episode in which Professor Maizen transformed into Dark Demon, Ste 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 Demonspleted the ''First form of Alchemy Engineering, the ''Delta Augmentation 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 ce.


    It was the skill of the dark magicians.


    <em ss="chakra-text css-0">''It wasnt a day or two when I was annoyed by the item monopoly while hunting dark demons in the game. Why didn''t I think of this?''


    Those innumerable items that made the already powerful ck demons even stronger and more irritating.


    How long did it take for that technology toe into the hands of mages?


    At that time, 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.


    Armed with a genius brain, brilliant and novel ideas, she came to mass-produce numerous ''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 some 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 moment she was given even the slightest ''possibility'', she would immediately spread her wings and fly away.


    From now on, I would give her every little chance.


    Could it be that Professor Maizen bullied you? Isnt 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 homeless has its own fun, though.


    So, how about this one? You will be a better alchemist than Professor Maizen. No, better than all the alchemists in the world.


    At my question, Alterisha looked at me nkly andughed 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 resentment for her own talent, which was gradually rotting away, and the inability to spread her wings high.


    Pain and bitterness.


    Someday Alterisha would have dreamed of it too. She dreamed of bing an alchemist and creating inventions to her heart''s content... She dreamed of bing such a scientist.


    Although it was a dream that she had to put aside for a while because she was discouraged by reality.


    <em ss="chakra-text css-0">That dream wille true sooner orter.
