chapter 33
33 – Club_4
The thing I asked Akari Nise to make is not a big deal.
A mana extraction converter.
It was an object that literally extracted mana from metal or stones and converted it into a liquid that could be stored in a bottle.
In industrial settings, it was also an item used to purify the mana needed to make potions or magic tools using the mana ore from the gate.
“The quantity is insufficient and the purity is low.”
I shook the small bottle of mana.
In the bottle, about 10 ml of a viscous blue liquid shook slightly.
“Ummm…”
It wasn’t bad for a cadet from the academy club to make his own improvements after looking only at the blueprints from a generation or two ago on the Internet, but it wasn’t bad enough.
There are also disposable items that cannot be recycled once used.
I wonder how many mana extraction converters are needed to collect the mana liquid needed to make it.
There.
“Efficiency is… nothing.”
The efficiency was also very poor.
A thing for mana ores that came out of the gate in the first place.
There is no way that mana can be extracted if it is not originally contained in mana.
So it was only natural that mana would not be extracted from items outside the gate that did not contain mana.
“So…”
Steel puck.
When I moved my feet slightly, a sound like stepping on a puddle resonated.
“I wrote a person…”
A corner on the 3rd floor of a building where bankruptcy broke down during construction and left the building unable to go up.
I looked down at the coldly dead man in the middle of a pool of blood, unable to even scream.
A mana extraction converter is an item that extracts and converts mana from things that contain or have mana, not an item that creates mana from things that do not contain mana.
That’s why it was usually only used for mana ores or things that had mana coming out of gates.
However, mana ores and things that come out of gates are usually things that are monitored and supervised by the state or companies, and you have to tell them how to use them, and they are expensive, so it’s hard to touch them. .
Of course, most of the mana he had after dying was returned to the atmosphere, and even if the dead guy was the lowest job villain in the F grade, the risk was too great compared to the efficiency.
In the first place, the mana extraction converter can’t be used on living things for some reason, so you must kill it to use it, but only 10ml per person…
Of course, even if I don’t lose the risk, it was comfortable for me to quietly go over anything that could be done quietly.
“I can’t help it…”
First of all, it came out for an experiment.
If the result is confirmed, what needs to be fixed.
I need to make some more improvements.
‘Isn’t that a bit lacking?’
Improvement is also an improvement, but it was a problem that the risk was high.
‘Then…’
No matter how you think about it, Akari Nise needed something she was hiding.
The miraculous substance that was hidden in the work as a keepsake of my parents.
With that, you should be able to extract mana even from a living person.
Then the efficiency would increase and there would be no need to take the risk of killing someone.
In order to do that, it was necessary to speed up the work we were working on.
There was no guilt.
Even when I first entered the academy, it seemed like I was asking not to sell drugs to good people.
Three-day beliefs were good.
I joined the magic alchemy club with the feeling that I was aiming for that from the beginning.
Use what is available has been my motto.
And this motto could change at any time.
“Eunryeong-ah.”
“Yes.”
After thinking about this and that, I called Yeon Eun-ryeong, who was on the lookout for someone coming from a little distance away.
Then Yeon Eun-ryeong, who ran to me like a dog on command, stood next to me and stared at me as if waiting for the next command.
“Please clean up after yourself. And I’m sorry I got involved in this.”
“Yeah, no, I have to kill anyone who threatens Seonghyeon. Yes, no matter what.”
It was so cute when I saw him twisted and twisted and now telling me to kill with his true form, saying that it was for my sake.
Of course, the memory, cognition, and cognition are distorted, so the black robe will remember it later.
Anyway, it was good.
I patted Yeon Eun-ryeong on the head in moderation to mean that I did well.
“!!”
“Yeah, it’s really cute.”
“hehehe.”
Yeon Eun-ryeong twisted her body around as if she was embarrassed.
Cute is cute.
Yeon Eun-ryeong’s height was also a good position to stroke.
“By the way, I’ll take the mana.”
After stroking it for a few minutes, I remembered something I shouldn’t forget.
It was the recovery of the mana that must have accumulated in Yeon Eun-ryeong’s body through the magic tool in the shape of a Japanese sword I gave her.
“Sobbing!?”
Through her heart sharing, the source of mana rapidly escaped from her body, and with her strange moan, her face turned red.
[Magic power increases by 0.0147.]
It was small, but the amount collected so far was quite meaningful.
After finishing the experiment and collecting mana, I pet Yeon Eun-ryeong again in moderation, then ask her to take care of the later work and leave the body as it is.
It was still pitch black outside.
**
I could have endured it for a day.
“Die!”
I was able to endure it even for a week.
“Hmph, barely that much?”
I could endure…Even for a month.
It was more fun to be a little loud than quiet, and the juniors and members were waiting for it like that.
That’s why I was willing to let go of a little fuss, hahahaha, that’s right.
Even if we don’t get along well, there’s no way it’s going to happen every year, and there was someone who would stop it in the first place, so I thought it would be a fun club activity after reconciliation someday.
But.
I couldn’t stand it anymore.
Let alone reconciliation, I am now fed up with the growing quarrel.
“Get out.”
Nise Akari opened her mouth quietly as she looked down at the remains of the equipment that apparently showed an alchemical reaction just a moment ago.
How did you get that equipment?
I wondered how I would teach the members who would come later… For the sake of the juniors, and in the silence of this club room with no one there, I filled in my activity log for almost a year by myself, and I barely bought it with the budget I saved. ?
It wasn’t a matter of price.
Even though it’s an expensive item, if there was a problem during club activities or if it was broken due to a simple operation mistake, I cried tears of blood inside, but I was able to overcome it with a smile.
No matter what it looks like, it was just an unfortunate accident that occurred during club activities.
But that wasn’t the case.
The quarrel started again.
And a situation in which there is no one to mediate it for a while.
That’s why Akari Nise tried her best to dry her seeds, but even her seeds weren’t eaten.
The quarrel soon developed into a physical fight.
As you can see, the result was a mess.
“Get out. No… You guys don’t come out this time.”
“”…..””
I thought I knew I was wrong, seeing that it went quiet right after I came out strong, but now it was too late.
I fully realized that even if they apologized and paid for the equipment, they weren’t the right fit for this club.
In the first place, they weren’t interested in magic or alchemy.
Just because there is someone I like, he said he would come here, so I just followed him.
I was an idiot for thinking of how to help them and how to make them more interested in magic alchemy while thinking of them… No, those b*tches as juniors.
“I will say it one last time. Get out.”
Raises mana and radiates momentum to glare at those b*tches.
No need.
I don’t need those b*tches.
Lee Seong-hyun was enough.
Unlike those lads, he was really interested in magic alchemy and was working hard.
There…
No matter how many times I deny it.
No matter how many times I tricked my mind, the result was the same.
Myself.
Nise Akari.
I fell in love with Lee Seong-hyun.
I don’t know the reason.
At some point, his eyes fell on him, and when he stopped, he was filled with happiness.
On days when I couldn’t see him, days when I couldn’t hear his voice, I felt depressed and everything was empty.
But I had rivals, and I didn’t want to get involved in troublesome things.
But… If those b*tches aren’t juniors or members, there’s not even a word left to consider.
So, you guys should get out of here.
“…Manager?”
At that moment, a voice that should not be heard came from behind.
Nise Akari swallowed his saliva and turned his head away thinking that the timing was ridiculous.
I hope I heard it wrong.
“…”
No.
I didn’t hear it wrong.
The man who had returned before he knew it was standing in a daze, as if in shock.
I don’t know where I heard it, but there seemed to be a misunderstanding.
“Oh, come, come? No, that’s how it happened…”
So Akari Nise tried to explain his flustered situation.
I did it because I was angry because they fought and my equipment was damaged.
I didn’t mean to tell you.
So please don’t misunderstand.
And so on.
But before Nise Akari’s mouth fell, he was looking at her feet and behind her.
Remnants of broken equipment.
And Han Yu-ri and Yeon Eun-ryeong, who bowed their heads as if they had made a mistake.
It was an easy situation to misunderstand.
No, it may not be a misunderstanding, but it was perfect for judging by misinterpreting the situation.
Lee Seong-hyeon remained silent for a moment, then approached Akari Nise and bowed his head.
“I’m sorry.”
You’re not going to apologize.
This is…
“I don’t know if these words will be an apology. In a way, it’s like I brought those kids to this club… I’ll take responsibility.”
“No, that’s fine—.”
That’s fine.
There was no need for Lee Seong-hyun to take responsibility.
It’s all because of those b*tches.
“I will resign as well. And the cost of the equipment will be unreasonable in the near future, but I’ll try to get it somehow.”
“It’s really okay, so you don’t have to worry about it, so…”
It’s really good.
Why do I…
“I’m really sorry, manager. You’re not going to like this apology… Later, when the kids calm down, together…”
No.
This isn’t it.
“Sorry.”
But before he could say anything, Seonghyun Lee made Han Yu-ri and Yeon Eun-ryeong bow their heads as if they had agreed beforehand, and then left the magic alchemy club.
A door that closes quietly.
I hurriedly stretched out his arm, but I couldn’t reach it.
A silence fell in the club room.
“This isn’t…”
And Akari Nise stared endlessly at the tightly closed door in a state of fascination.
