chapter 16
16 – First Creator (2)
Aphelice Imperial Alchemy Society.
Located in the center of the ecliptic, Felix, the society was the second largest alchemy society on the continent.
It was a space where the best alchemists in the empire gathered together to study, and it was a sacred place of alchemy that many of the empire’s alchemists who were known as personal workshops or warriors had visited at least once.
Excluding the Tirpe Kingdom Society, which is called the kingdom of alchemy, it was safe to say that it was actually the largest society.
One such office of the Imperial Alchemy Society.
In an old-fashioned room, a man was looking at a piece of paper with his eyes closed.
“Vice president? Would you like to take a look at this?”
The man, who was constantly tilting his head, spoke to the woman sitting in the center of the office.
It was Yenitail Ferian, an alchemist who was also the vice-president and vice-president of the Patent Department of the Imperial Alchemy Society.
She was busy processing paperwork, but stopped for a moment and looked at her junior.
“why. What?”
“It’s a patent application, but the content is a bit strange. Let’s check it out.”
“Give me.”
Yenitail was handed a piece of paper by her junior and began to read it.
“Magic tool patent application. Designation Safe Cage. Applicant Sacher Philip. Affiliated Imperial Imperial Academy Alchemy Faculty 2nd year… ?”
Yenitail’s eyes, which had been reading dryly, slowly widened.
Magic tool patent application.
It was the most representative of the tasks handled by the Patent Office, but it was because the familiar application contained unbelievable information on paper.
“Isn’t that a joke? It makes no sense.”
“I thought so too, but the name of the notary who signed the oath at the bottom of the application is Dave Oppert.”
“… It’s real.”
Dave Oppert.
As the head of the Faculty of Alchemy at the Imperial Academy, he was an outstanding alchemist known on the continent.
He was a warrior who had gone through several battles during the Demon Wars, and was a senior in the academic world with a similar year to the president of the Imperial Alchemy Society.
Of course, he was a person much older than Yenitail, the vice president of the Alchemy Society.
Such a dean of the Faculty of Opert notarized this wonderful application.
It meant that the application was not sent as a joke.
“crazy… It makes no sense. Have you ever heard that undergraduates created magic tools?”
“I’ve never heard of a researcher being the first creator, let alone an undergraduate.”
“right? Aren’t I weird?”
It is possible for any skillful alchemist to create a magic tool with good performance by transforming a known manufacturing method.
Even with the same manufacturing method, if the ratio was slightly different, the performance would change drastically because it was a magic tool.
However, creating a new magic tool was by no means an easy task.
It is necessary to create a completely new manufacturing method that did not exist before, and the result must be proven.
It is possible to work only when you can understand the certain mechanism involved in making magic tools and verify countless variables that change depending on the situation.
It was an area where you had to go through countless failures to step on the threshold, and you had to reach the limit of your understanding of alchemy to touch it.
‘An academy undergraduate student created such a magic tool?’
Yenitail had never heard of the history of creating magical tools at the level of undergraduates and researchers.
Even the faculty of the Faculty of Alchemy at the Academy are struggling with the creation of magic tools.
Even the greatest genius alchemist of the era, Ariel Tyrfe, did not start working on the creation of magic tools until a year after graduating from the institute.
Even that was a stone-type magic tool that was considered the easiest among magic tools.
However, an undergraduate student studying at the academy, even a freshman who had just entered his second year, made a new magic tool.
With a ‘special magic tool’ I’ve never seen before called [Safe Cage].
If the patent registration was handled normally, this would surely be a topic of conversation throughout the continent.
Yenitail put the paper down on the desk, stood up and spoke to her junior.
“Vince. Bring this enclosed magic tool quickly. Let’s check it out right now.”
“Yes, I understand.”
The patent office of the Imperial Alchemy Society, which had been quietly flowing, began to become busy.
* * *
The waves of change came like rolling waves.
Sacher’s magic tool patent application was registered in less than two days.
It was evaluated that the performance was certain and the perfection according to the manufacturing method was excellent.
It was a perfect magic tool, with no reason to delay patent registration.
And it wasn’t long before this news hit the whole alchemy world.
– A genius alchemist has appeared!
[Safe Cage] overturned the academy, the empire, and all the alchemy societies on the continent.
There were a lot of defensive magic tools on the market that could be used in battle, but [Safe Cage] was a creative magic tool that had never been released before.
The academic world was already boiling over that fact alone.
It was because once the patent announcement of the new magical tool was finished, alchemists would be interested in whatever type it was.
Alchemists, with exceptions, are mostly people who craft and invent.
Always discovering something creative and immersed in it, thirsty for recipes and magic tools that weren’t there before.
For them, the emergence of new magic tools that did not exist was always a subject of interest.
After all, he is an undergraduate.
Since the establishment of the Academy and the Faculty of Alchemy on the continent, there has been no history of creating new magic tools at the undergraduate level.
The undergraduate alchemist created a new magic tool.
A special magic tool with high perfection and attractive use.
The appearance of an unprecedented genius alchemist.
It was literally the moment when a new history was born.
– Sacher Philip, who is he?
-Practical talent who shines at the top of the entrance exam score. He was a top prospect from the beginning.
– A talent that surpasses Ariel Tyrpe, the continent’s greatest alchemist, has appeared.
-Is there a possibility that the son of Viscount Philip, the warrior of alchemy, will inherit the knightly family?
It also appeared on the front page of Apelica, the daily newspaper of the Imperial Academy.
Not only the Faculty of Alchemy, but the entire academy began to take an interest in him.
On the other hand, there were many people who did not know much about alchemy, and there were many people who sarcastically said that it was no big deal to create a barrier that was not even magical.
The harmony of those who lift and those who lower.
In a way, it could be seen as a measure of a person receiving a lot of attention.
Even the academy was this much, but there was nothing to say inside the Faculty of Alchemy.
Not only the faculty members, but also the researchers under the faculty, all students within the Faculty of Alchemy.
In addition, all alchemists who had graduated from the academy and alchemists from other kingdoms visited the <Academy Alchemy Shop>.
It was from the common thought of wanting to see Sacher’s new magic tool in person.
And it was the same with a woman who bowed down and came to the alchemy shop.
“Eurcellu, how long do I have to wait?”
A woman with blonde hair in lush waist-length twin tails and golden eyes crossed her arms and said.
The man called Yurceleu was dressed in all black top and bottom, like a priest of a church.
Due to the nature of the aide, it was because of the guidelines not to be easily seen by people.
Urselu stepped aside for a moment and checked the number of people in line.
“I think it will be enough if only 12 people are left out from now on, princess.”
“I waited an hour and still?”
“… Originally, I know this time is a little pushed back.”
“under… Does this time all mean when he sells magic tools?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The second princess of Tyrpe Kingdom, Lenia Tyrpe bit her lip and stomped her feet.
It hurt her pride to have come this far, because she didn’t like it at all that she, the princess, had to wait here for over an hour.
After the popularity of the Alchemy Shop increased excessively, it was regulated as a school rule to set the minimum number of people who could enter the shop and to queue up for more people.
In the academy of the empire, regardless of nobles and commoners, everyone was equal under the status of a student, so this school rule was applied to all students in the academy.
Of course, most students treat nobles knowingly or unknowingly, thinking about after graduation, but in front of such a popular alchemy shop, they were nobles, royalty from other countries, and rude.
Everyone had to wait their turn according to the order.
-Renia, you must buy it! Got it?
If there are other magic tools that look unusual, buy them as soon as you can.
And can’t you somehow seduce him and bring him to the Tirpe Alchemy Society?
I’m a noble of the empire, so that’s a little too much, right?
Still, do as much as you can…
This older sister always believes in her younger brother.
I miss you, my brother!
Ariel Tyrpe.
The greatest genius alchemist of the era.
The nickname was quite grandiose, but to Lenia, she was just her older sister and the first princess of Tyrpe Kingdom.
And the genius was sending a letter like this to his younger brother.
Lenia sighed with a sad face.
If it wasn’t for this letter, I wouldn’t have come this far.
She was also curious about the new magical tool called [Safe Cage], but it was more difficult to see the face of the man who was unlucky to see it himself.
I’d rather buy that magic tool separately from the auction house.
Sacher Philip.
Rhenia hated this genius undergraduate student who received the attention of all the continental alchemy societies.
This is because, until Sacher appeared, she was a promising alchemist with the overall chief who monopolized the attention of the academy’s alchemy department and academic societies.
Yes.
In her first year, she was pushed to second place in the entrance exam for practical skills, and now in her second year, she is being pushed back by Sacher under the slogan of ‘undergraduate who sells creative magic tools’.
