NOVEL NEXT chapter 43
43. Trial Period (3)
Today’s classroom filled up unusually quickly.
The emotions of yesterday remain and urge the students.
After completing the required liberal arts courses, I arrived at the classroom like flying and filled the seats.
Even though the class is still over an hour away.
It felt like time was passing very slowly.
One hour passes like a month-
Bump-
In an hour without an error, Professor Lucas opened the door of the classroom and appeared.
He stood in front of the students with a figure that still couldn’t be seen as cluttered, and with an image of classical dignity.
“Continuing from yesterday, today we will discuss the in-depth process of ＜realization of ‘brother’>. Let me do a simple exercise.”
just-
When Lucas snapped his finger, 20 battle dolls entered the classroom together with his assistant Lit.
“These are the battle puppets I used for demonstrations at the conference. It is the latest model with the latest technology from Dust Industries.”
When I heard that it was a conference and a demonstration, the reaction was explosive.
“A demonstration at a conference? Rumor has it that it was huge?”
“Wow, great! Are you sure you want to show the demonstration here?”
The lecture that Lucas gave at the conference was predominantly evaluated as fantastic.
The president of the Alan Society praised it in an exclusive interview.
The students expected that Lucas would reenact the lecture at that time, but this was not the case.
“In this battle doll, I have entered information about Grasco’s cultured swordsmanship, the period sword.”
As Lucas beckoned, the battle dolls moved to the students at an angle, one per person.
“You just have to play mock battles with them. As I said, the battle doll will only use the period sword. So that you can neutralize the battle doll only by realizing the ‘brother’. When the battle doll is incapacitated, the practice ends with that. Any questions?”
“There is not!”
“good night. Start the fight.”
At the same time as Lucas declared the start of the battle dolls’ eyes, a dazzling light appeared.
“By the way, the battle doll will use magic power, so do your best.”
Wow-!
Oh wait.
* * *
This seemingly unfair matchup was a prerequisite for the analysis of ‘brother’, which is the core task of today’s lecture.
And since the midterm exam must be taken under the same conditions, there is also the purpose of experience.
“Even, it is forbidden to receive it with magical power.”
“Caren, focus your consciousness. Consciously eliminate the output of magical power.”
There are students who sometimes cry and want to spit out their magic.
After demonstrating magical power and putting it into a weapon, it is inevitable because it is a habit that has continued almost like an instinct.
That’s why I’m trying to catch it in advance.
The moment you rely on magical power, everything you’ve taught so far will be in vain.
I ordered them to continue to concentrate so that they could master the lecture a little more perfectly.
Five minutes passed, ten minutes passed.
Naturally, there is no student who neutralized the battle doll.
After 30 minutes, a response comes slowly.
Of course, from the side of the students, not the side of the battle doll.
In addition to yesterday’s fatigue, it was clearly visible that his body was getting heavier.
A battle between a tireless battle doll and a human with limited physical strength.
Above all, dolls use magic power.
Humans may seem overwhelmingly at a disadvantage, but-
“What did you learn in yesterday’s lecture? Remember yesterday’s lecture.”
Not like that.
This practice is thoroughly planned so that it can be cleared to the last.
The output of the actual battle doll was also significantly lowered, and the data entered was also a lower-level swordsmanship called ‘Periard Sword’. Besides, the battle doll doesn’t attack first.
When students attack, they just respond accordingly.
“Wow… … .”
“Ugh! Huh, huh!”
The students were getting more and more tired.
His breathing became harsh, and his posture collapsed.
None of the students succeeded in neutralizing even after an hour had elapsed.
“stop.”
This is the limit of the students confirmed with ＜Strengthening Eyesight>.
The practice is over.
As soon as the end was declared, the output of the battle doll was turned off, and at the same time, the new student models collapsed.
“No one has succeeded in neutralizing it.”
To be honest, I was a little disappointed.
Still, I thought I would be able to succeed at least once or twice.
“… … .”

Notification windows that melted the disappointment like snow flooded.
Naturally, the corners of the lips try to rise.
Can not be done.
It takes time, time to gather this joy.
“… … Take a 10-minute break.”
Forcing a smile to come out, he quickly turned around and left the classroom.
* * *
“… … Take a 10-minute break.”
Professor Lucas left the classroom leaving only a strange expression he had never seen before.
It was the first expression they had seen, but the students knew it.
That is an expression of deep disappointment.
“Professor, did you see that I was very disappointed?”
“No, but in the first place, it was a game where you couldn’t compete, right?”
A feeling of shame swelled up.
I battled for about an hour with an opponent who uses magical power.
Isn’t it rather great to be able to withstand the weight difference between an adult and a child for an hour?
“right. In fact, it’s great just to hold on. The professor’s standards were too high.”
“It’s not easy to stand up to someone who uses magic with your bare body.”
Some students agreed.
at that time.
Deyan, who was listening to their conversation, opened his mouth.
“Did you not feel it? The battle puppets did not apply a first attack. Even though we implemented the swordsmanship of the period sword, it never turned towards us until we showed our intention to attack.”
“Oh, that’s right. That battle doll, I know it well because I made it. They just can’t be dealt with at this level.”
Aileon also helped out a word.
“… … !”
Only then did they seem to realize something.
“Obviously, there must have been a way. The professor is not the one who gives unanswered questions.”
As I felt in the theory lectures, there were always answers to his questions.
Of course, it is not a standardized form, but something that comes after thought and contemplation, but these were questions with clear answers.
This practice will be no different.
The answer is… … there would have been
However, they just didn’t know.
“Still, wouldn’t it be difficult for the professor to fight in front of an opponent who uses magical powers only by realizing ‘hyung’?”
“Well… … .”
They pondered for a moment, and then came up with an answer.
“It will be.”
“It will be, the gentleman.”
“Unconditionally.”
“Hey, you’re the one who makes no sense to answer these questions.”
Even the student who made an opinion had no choice but to nod his head, remembering the strength that Lucas showed.
But that’s why I wanted to see it with my own two eyes.
What is Lucas’ answer?
* * *
“Continue the lecture.”
I finally got my emotions back and went back to the classroom.
On the podium, he continued his unfinished lectures.
“What do you think is the reason for not being able to neutralize the battle dolls?”
“Because we fought without magic.”
“That’s right.”
In response to my affirmation, the students looked at me with a look of some kind of bullshit.
“It looks like they are making an illusion, but if they have the same level of skill, the one with more magical power is stronger. It is an immutable truth.”
“Ha, but the professor didn’t use magic… … .”
“Anyway, if it’s the same level of skill. If there is a superior skill gap, the presence or absence of magical power is irrelevant. What does level mean here? Deyan, you keep answering.”
“The realm… … The difference is.”
“Right. Where does the difference in state come from – it comes from the understanding of the military. The ‘Pieriard Sword’ unfolded by the battle dolls in front of you had great technical perfection. But that doesn’t mean that this battle doll has a better understanding of the group than you.”
The battle puppets simply move as they are based on programmed information.
The understanding within it is inevitable.
“But, Professor, wouldn’t the fact that you show great technical perfection in itself prove your level of understanding?”
Eylon, the creator of the battle doll, objected.
‘Something seems to be going on.’
I was puzzled.
As the creator of this battle doll, Eylon is a genius in magic engineering, so he knows that human understanding and machine understanding are different than anyone else.
But pointing it out like that is proof that something is up and running.
just as expected-
“So I hope the professor will show you an example!”
Was it woven while I left the classroom?
It was clearly visible that the students were in agreement.
“… … good night.”
From the time I planned this practice anyway, I expected that this would happen. Therefore, the most basic swordsmanship, ‘Prior Sword’, was input, and the output was set to the lowest level.
Weeing- Crumbling!
The battle doll in the front moved and climbed up to the podium.
Whoa!
At the same time, it emitted a red eye light and raised its momentum.
‘Is the output stronger than I thought?’
Once again, I admire the talent of these guys who endured an hour in front of this.
But this is not the time to admire.
“Let’s all keep this in our eyes.”
Now is the time for learning.
* * *
Weeing- Crumbling!
The battle doll began to maneuver.
At the same time, an unusual energy overflows.
‘Hey, you’re dealing with that without magic?’
The students watching the unusual momentum swallowed dry saliva.
The thing in front of Lucas’s eyes is that Eilon has released a special power limit to match Lucas’ level.
Because of this, the aura they exuded was different from the battle dolls they faced.
But Lucas doesn’t see a change in his expression.
sun-
The sword of the battle doll was pulled out, and it began to move.
‘Periard Sword.’
It was just that the output of their magic power increased, but it gave them a different level of pressure than the ones they faced.
Still, Lucas calmly opened his mouth as he looked at the battle doll’s ‘Pieriard Sword’.
“Look, this ‘Periard Sword’ also starts with ‘Sun’.”
Lucas’ sword was slowly drawn out.
Not a great sword, but an iron sword that can be easily obtained from Grasco’s workshop.
However, just by having it in his hand, he seems to be giving off a special anticipation.
Lucas’ sword is stretched out.
At the same time, of course, the battle doll’s attack is also in full swing.
Overwhelming feeling!
However, Lucas just moved lightly, as if such a sense of intimidation was funny.
“By breaking this good… … .”
tuk-
With a single light touch, the swordsmanship that the combat doll could see was disturbed.
Don’t miss that time-
wow!
“like this.”
It happened really quickly.
I just wanted to see if the sword that Lucas was holding moved once, and the situation was over.
It was so disappointingly simple.
“This is something anyone can do easily.”
… … It’s not.
