Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 353

231. Opportunity for a Reversal (3)

Professor Santelia seemed like someone who was truly passionate about architecture.

Because the blueprint revisions were completed in just two days.

I also liked the fact that he was somewhat familiar with the Drenik language, though not as much as I was.

“This should work. You seem to have pointed out the errors well.”

“It’s thanks to working with our students. By the way, you seem to know Drenik very well.”

“I’m glad it seemed that way. What does this marking on the blueprint mean?”

“This indicates where rivets should be hammered in cases where reinforcement is needed. Hmm, and this part…”

While Professor Santelia provided kind explanations, he asked me,

“By the way, you said you saw it in a booklet. Where did you get that booklet? Oh, of course I’m not trying to report it anywhere…”

“I’ll give you one as a gift later if I acquire related books again.”

“Really?”

When I answered after clearly understanding his intention, Professor Santelia’s face lit up.

As a professor and scholar, it was natural for him to show interest.

“I’ll look for one once the festival is completely over.”

“Good. I’ll do my best. Oh, right. How are the materials coming along?”

Materials.

To construct and build something, materials are needed.

“They should arrive this morning.”

And Sidrain had solved that problem for us.

More precisely, we had asked the ‘Grik Trading Company’ that we’d established dealings with over the previous medicine matter.

According to what Sidrain told me, they could deliver anything quickly except what they didn’t have, as long as we just asked.

Naturally, I paid for it with my own money.

Using family money would violate the rules.

Well, strictly speaking, it was somewhat like covering one’s eyes and pretending…

Buzz buzz.

-Dane, the materials just arrived.

The communication crystal orb rang at just the right time.

It was Leila’s voice.

“I’ll be right there.”

When I headed to the Academy entrance with Professor Santelia, I could see the Grik Trading Company’s flag and massive materials beneath it.

“What’s that?”

“Looks like the Grik Trading Company? Why did they come to the Academy?”

“No, what did they bring so much of?”

Amid the murmuring, I approached the Grik Trading Company’s supervisor, signed the receipt, and checked the goods.

“Whoa… this is really…”

Professor Santelia seemed surprised too.

Naturally, because these weren’t raw materials but already processed materials.

They just needed a bit more refinement and assembly after being erected…

“Th-this is the latest technology, isn’t it?”

An exclamation full of amazement.

That’s right.

I don’t know the details, but I know those ‘modular’ materials were made using technology that recently caused a huge shock in the construction industry.

“Where on earth did you get this…”

Professor Santelia muttered in disbelief, but I just shrugged.

“Now we just need to move them to the construction site.”

“Hmm. But I’m not sure if we can secure a route while moving them.”

At those words, I signaled to the trading company supervisor, and he immediately had the company staff step back.

After confirming no one was near the materials, I immediately drew up my mana and-

“Does that even make sense?”

“My god… that’s insane.”

“He lifted all those heavy things at once?”

The materials wrapped in my mana floated high up in the air.

And very firmly and tightly held at that.

Under normal circumstances, this would be impossible.

But since I received mana materialization training from Professor Cross, or rather Saul Hanston, it’s no longer difficult.

“Excuse me, coming through.”

Thus, massive materials including a huge solid steel cylinder and parts that would become discs when assembled were ‘flying’ through the sky.

“Get out of the way!”

“Kyaaaah!”

Screams erupted along the way, but there was no chance of anything falling or anyone coming to stop us.

I had already discussed everything with the student affairs office.

Even I think it’s quite a spectacle.

It would probably look even more impressive from a distance.

Actually, I’m deliberately lifting them extra high so they’re more visible.

It’s a kind of performance.

Carrying such massive materials through the air would naturally draw attention and gather crowds.

And they’d be curious.

Wondering what our club is up to this time.

“What’s that? Isn’t that the Romance Club?”

“Those club members are doing something again.”

“Didn’t the Romance Club make a huge hit with their haunted house last year?”

Ah, come on, it’s not ‘Romance.’

Anyway, we finally arrived at the site where we’d build ‘Sudden Drop.’

I don’t like the name, but what can I do.

I have to follow the majority opinion.

“Here, here. Good.”

I carefully set down the materials nearby.

And the first thing I saw was Professor Santelia’s bewildered expression.

“Ha, hahaha… so this is what they meant by being able to do anything with magic…?”

“In this case, yes.”

“Really… it’s a transportation method I never could have imagined.”

Of course, I know that transporting materials with magic had been attempted before.

But due to mana consumption efficiency and stability issues, it was only used limitedly for very short distances.

My case is a bit different.

“You said the foundation work and construction were all done, so shall we start now?”

“Good. Then let’s start by erecting the pillars.”

I immediately lifted the cylinder.

With mana, of course.

Creeeeak.

As the lying pillar rose and stood upright, admiration and amazement erupted from all directions.

“Good. A little more to the left!”

By the way, including moving the materials earlier, handling materials like this now isn’t non-chain grade telekinesis.

It’s using mana materialization to firmly cluster small mana spheres in the air, then supporting the materials.

Thoom!

The moment I drove in and secured the pillar, Architecture Department students rushed in for the fixing work.

Now, ten days remain.

Ten days later, I’m curious to see what kind of reactions everyone will show.

Every department stakes their lives on the festival.

Unpopular departments are no exception.

In situations where everything is already lacking, nothing helps as reliably as the festival.

Some unpopular departments even fill their insufficient budgets with money earned during the festival.

The Magic Department wasn’t quite at that level. It was originally a department that always competed for 1st and 2nd place with the Swordsmanship Department, and due to the nature of their major, they had plenty of money.

But this time, the situation seems a bit different.

“We absolutely must invest more! Will this be enough? This time we’re definitely taking 1st place!”

“No, but still, does it make sense to spend money exceeding our current budget, Senior?”

“What? Hey, do you know what the Swordsmanship Department is preparing right now? They’re preparing a tournament with several really good swords as prizes! Just that alone costs how much!”

“If we try to keep up with that, we’ll go broke, okay? This time the Swordsmanship Department was allocated 1.5 times our budget! And they don’t even use magical items, so they always spend their budget freely.”

The Magic Department meeting room was filled with heated debate.

This was evidence that the Magic Department still couldn’t find its center after Professor Denabo’s imprisonment.

Far from uniting opinions, they were split into two factions and only continued fighting.

The reason was simple.

It wasn’t that either side’s opinion was particularly disagreeable, but because whoever won would be able to seize control.

For reference, Professor Tillis had become department head following Professor Denabo, but he had neither the will nor ability to control these students.

“So people will flock to the ‘Artifact Experience Hall’! Of course they’d be curious! But that’s where it ends!”

“Then what about ‘Become a Mage!’? How much would they love feeling like actual mages?”

The heated debate within the Magic Department was truly reaching its peak.

“Hey, I’ve been watching you, and you’ve been making nonsensical objections from the start? What’s your deal? Don’t just criticize, offer opinions!”

“What about you then? What’s bothering you so much from the start? This bastard has been picking fights over every little thing since freshman year…”

“What, bastard? Are you done talking?”

In this explosive situation, students from both sides stood up abruptly, their mana seething.

That’s when it happened.

Bang!

The door opened and a student came running in frantically.

“What?”

“This guy barging in without even knocking…”

Everyone glared at him, but the student who had rushed in paid no attention and suddenly pointed out the window.

“Everyone look outside!”

“What’s this all of a sudden…”

“The Romance Club guys are doing something!”

At the mention of Romance Club, everyone’s gaze turned toward the window.

Swoosh.

When they drew back the curtains, an unbelievable scene was visible through the window.

“That’s…”

“Wh-what? What’s floating in the air…”

“Crazy, is that a pillar?”

A massive pillar was floating in mid-air and moving.

A sight that made even mages doubt their eyes.

Floating something in the air wasn’t difficult.

But floating something in the air, especially something that massive, and moving it at a constant speed without any trembling was nearly impossible.

“Is there… a professor there?”

Someone muttered, but everyone answered inwardly.

Even a Magic Department professor couldn’t do such a thing.

“Romance Club, you said?”

“Yes, Dane Sogress is moving it like that…”

“That’s impossible…”

Dane Sogress doing something that even Magic Department professors couldn’t do?

No matter how much of a genius he was, it was unbelievable.

Now wasn’t the time to fight.

As curiosity as mages arose, along with suspicion about this incomprehensible scene, without anyone taking the lead, they all rushed out—

“What… is that?”

“Dane Sogress appears to be… moving it…”

Even for a mage, is such a thing… possible?”

At the same time.

The Swordsmanship Department meeting led by Professor Esteranza showed much the same reaction.

‘What on earth… is that?’

Professor Esteranza doubted her eyes.

According to the student who had just rushed in, Dane Sogress was ‘moving’ that thing with Romance Club members and Architecture Department students.

Of course, he was doing the moving alone.

And even Professor Santelia from the Architecture Department was there.

“What are they up to?”

That eyesore of a fellow.

The fellow who had never once been affected, no matter how many times she tried to torment and suppress him.

And now a fellow who had become difficult to even touch during class time.

And in the midst of all this, he was pulling such a stunt?

‘Are there any rule violations?’

Professor Esteranza soon shook her head.

She wasn’t sure what it was exactly.

But she could tell it was a major threat.

This time, the Academy Swordsmanship Club under the Swordsmanship Department absolutely had to take 1st place in the festival.

‘I need to find out what it is.’

She had to find out what it was.

Only then could she devise countermeasures or interfere.

Professor Esteranza was already under tremendous pressure as department head.

Among knights who graduated from the Swordsmanship Department, various things were being said about the Swordsmanship Department’s disgrace from last year.

So this time, they absolutely had to restore their honor.

“Professor?”

“I’ll be back shortly. Continue the meeting.”

Professor Esteranza stood up from her seat with a stern expression.
