My Magic Tools Are Selling Too Well - My Magic Tools Are Selling Too Well chapter 26

26 – Festival and Colosseum (7)

Professor Bluecliffe left after the suggestion.

He resolutely refused to talk about his past, but he seemed quite satisfied with the offer he had originally planned.

Professor Meline also left with them.

Apparently, since he was my professor, he seemed to have come to keep an eye on Professor Bluecliffe for cutting back and forth.

You don’t seem to be very interested in other undergraduate students, but somehow, when I talk about you, you get sensitive.

Well, since Professor Bluecliffe was a nobleman who sent official letters to get me out, I could understand it.

Anyway, congratulating me on my victory in the finals, the professors left.

Of course, Professor Meline just didn’t have it.

He patted my shoulder, whispered softly, and left.

“Let’s talk about the golem separately.”

Professor Melaine’s eyes were filled with curiosity.

It’s embarrassing.

I don’t have the confidence to answer all of her questions… .

“senior… ! Are you really going to that party?”

After everyone left, I turned my head to Delia’s words that I heard suddenly.

“what. Didn’t you follow your father?”

“Originally, my dad decided to go because he had other work to do after only watching the seniors’ games. But are you really going to that party?”

“uh. conditions are good Like the professor said, I’m curious about the research contents. why?”

Delia looked at me with a pouty expression.

It was amazing to be able to see her expression after getting close to her.

When we first met, there was nothing but shy and embarrassed faces.

“It’s dangerous… . You know what’s going to happen at the gate… ”

“ah… what else do i say It’s okay, don’t worry. Could it be that your father said he was taking me to kill him? They say they’re taking them because they’re all safe.”

Delia’s concern was understandable, but it was too much.

It is true that gate exploration is dangerous.

It’s an unfamiliar gate where you don’t know what’s going to happen, and it’s an area that’s planned to be attacked by a party attended by department head-level professors.

But there was no way that Professor Bluecliffe would take me as an undergraduate without knowing the danger.

In an academy that trains heroes, the fact that undergraduate students go wrong while helping the professor…

It will be an indelible disgrace from the academy’s point of view.

In addition, it is the content that the President of Wellington directly gave permission.

Even if a big variable occurred, at least a way to get me out would have been prepared.

If something really goes wrong at all, just spend a lot of money and buy a [Warp Scroll] to escape.

Even if it seems like I accepted it because of the grades, it was a decision I made after my own calculations and considerations.

“And puppy grass. You came with your dad, why don’t you know anything about what the professor is doing?”

Delia’s face was once again stained with embarrassment at the words that suddenly came to mind.

“I don’t know… . Yesterday, I was the one who asked to go watch the seniors’ game, but in the end, Dad had something to watch… .”

“Hi-Hi. Doesn’t Delia have a weak spot too?”

The answer was not me, but Schnika, who was quietly listening.

“no… !!” Schnika threw teasing words at Delia, who denied it.

Originally, this is a schnika specialty.

The things I’ve done so far were actually learned from Schnika.

She seems to have finally adapted to the taste of teasing Delia.

Once you taste it, it will be hard to get out of it.

I sat down with the two chatting behind me.

After a long time of concentration, I fell asleep with fatigue.

Taylor, who was said to be the top of the 3rd year swordsmanship department, was definitely a tough opponent.

Looking at the content of the game, it seems like I won overwhelmingly, but in the end, if I hadn’t pushed through like that, the defeat would have been mine.

If Taylor had known about my golems, had known my fighting tendencies, and had dragged the match into a long fight, he might have won.

While I was lost in my thoughts, I suddenly felt a gaze.

I felt like I knew this without turning my head.

It was a look I was so used to.

It was my friend, Ruen, staring at me with ruby-like eyes.

I waited quietly for her words.

Whenever Ruen looked at me like this, it was always when he had something to say.

She looked at me silently for a long while…

he said quietly.

“… Golem Sacher.”

… Please stop the strange transformation of the past.

The academy festival was nearing its end.

Most of the major events hosted by the academy, congratulatory performances by bards, and events at the undergraduate bar were mostly over.

On the last day of the festival, all that was left was food and the last tournament of ＜Academy Coliseum＞.

Ruen and Schnika both passed the round of 64, but unfortunately both fell in the round of 32.

They showed overwhelming performance throughout the preliminaries and finals, but the opponents were not good.

Schunika’s opponent is the 4th year senior of the Faculty of Magic, and Ruen’s opponent is the 4th year senior of the Faculty of Swordsmanship.

Since they were opponents with the best skills and talents in each department, it was a long way for them, who were still only promising players, to beat them.

In addition, ‘Zenit Polgram’, who was said to be the senior of the 4th year of the Faculty of Swordsmanship, had already defeated all opponents and reached the final, so there was no need to say more.

It was a pity that the friends I was running with fell away, but it was quite fortunate that I didn’t meet them in the finals.

If I had met him, I might have given up.

“Satchel, Satchel! How is your condition today?”

Shunica asked with a face full of expectations.

It was an excited voice as if he was preparing for his game.

“Doesn’t that sound bad? Is it because I slept soundly until this morning? My body is not sore and I am comfortable. I don’t think I will fall asleep while playing.”

“Hi-Hi. You have to win, Satchel! This time, the opponent is the one who dropped Ruen.”

Schunika’s expression became determined.

Ruen next to her doesn’t seem to mind, but for some reason she seems to be burning more.

My opponent this time is Zenit Polgram.

The finale of this festival.

the last of the last.

It was the final of ＜Academy Coliseum＞.

After debuting Golem for the first time in the round of 64, I continued my winning streak in the finals.

The opponents who learned the strength of my golem, which I showcased as a showcase, were often scared before even fighting.

That would also be the case, because Taylor, who used to be considered a candidate for the quarterfinals or semifinals, was a powerful magic tool that was helplessly defeated in the round of 64.

Perhaps because of that, the opponents I met afterwards were much easier than Taylor.

Because the opponent is scared first.

Interestingly, the opponent in the round of 32 was the same Faculty of Alchemy.

In order for the Faculty of Alchemy to rise to the top 32, you need to learn combat alchemy to the limit or know how to handle golems.

He is the golem alchemist who falls under the latter category.

The confrontation between the Faculty of Alchemy, which was first established in the finals, was a confrontation between golem producers.

However, the match ended much less fun than expected.

The opponent was a skilled man who could handle golems without problems, but that was all.

The golem’s performance was mediocre, and its piloting skills couldn’t keep up with me.

I finished the match without destroying his golem as much as possible.

The opponent in the round of 16 is the Faculty of Magic.

This is much more comfortable than previous opponents.

This is because after controlling the front of the battle with the golem, it was easy to use the magic tool from the rear to make it easier to win.

Wizards were more dangerous than swordsmen because they could cast magic with direct hits, but they also had the disadvantage of being vulnerable to golem attacks.

The opponents of the 8th and 4th rounds were all swordsmanship departments.

As expected, all the best prospects are concentrated in the swordsmanship department.

It was an understandable match, but in my experience, both of them were weaker than Taylor, their opponent in the round of 64.

As I said before, Taylor was actually a strong player who had to meet in the quarterfinals or semifinals.

Having a golem with good performance was a huge advantage.

It was because, if only the control could be done perfectly, it was practically the same as fighting 2-on-1.

I was able to make up for my lack of combat power with senses and golems, and made it to the finals.

“Hi-Hi. I hope Satchel wins this way. Right, Luen?”

“… huh.”

Is Schnika’s excitement spreading around?

Ruen also nodded with a look of anticipation unlike her.

Schnika suddenly crossed my arms and said.

“Satchel! If you win, let me use it. it’s my wish huh? huh?”

“Hey, Shunika. Alright, so fold your arms… ”

“oh. sorry. lol.”

He sighed heavily.

It’s not that I don’t hate the feeling I get when she crosses her arms.

No, it was better…

Anyway, embarrassing is embarrassing.

The ‘that’ Schnika refers to is the winning product of the ＜Academy Coliseum＞.

In this tournament, along with a prize money of 2000 gold, [Tarnhelm], a magic armor that exerts an amazing effect, was hung as the winning prize.

The prize money was also quite large, but [Tarnhelm] was a rare treasure that could not be obtained at the level of an undergraduate.

[Tarnhelm]

-Type: Helm

-The one and only magic helmet used by the king of an ancient kingdom. It has solid durability and defense that can protect the wearer from fatal blows.

-The form changes according to the size of the wearer’s head.

-When worn, it is practically invisible and gives a comfortable fit as if nothing was worn.

-Can use special magic [Stealth] once a day for 10 minutes. It can be used by injecting the wearer’s magic into the helmet’s magic circuit.

[Tarnhelm] was a relic of the past, whose creator did not exist.

It came out as a winning prize in the finals, but in fact, it is a huge treasure that will be sold for hundreds of thousands of gold at the auction house.

This is because it is an ‘enchanting armor’ that can even use special magic.

It was strange to bet such a prize in an academy competition, but I understood it to some extent.

Because most of the winners at the ＜Academy Coliseum＞ are the students who compete for the best in the 4th grade, and they eventually have to work as warriors after graduation.

As long as they had graduated from the Imperial Academy once, it was not difficult for the Empire to make such an investment in the future for warriors who did not know when they would become the strength of the Empire again.

“anyway… One more reason to win.”

“Ruen’s Revenge! Schnika’s wish!”

Schunika gave a small shout before I finished my words.

The sight made me laugh again.

What is so exciting and fun?

It was definitely something I was thankful for to have friends who support my winning as if it were their own.

And even if it wasn’t for that reason, I also thought that I really wanted to win.

Obviously, I was not greedy for this Coliseum game at first, but as I played the game, I found myself enjoying it.

I tend not to pay attention to things that do not interest me.

No matter what I do, in the end I have to have fun, and everything I’ve done so far has been mostly based on that.

It was a competition that Professor Melin pushed his back to participate in, but ＜Academy Coliseum＞ was definitely fun.

If I really didn’t like it, I would have withdrawn without looking back.

It was fun, so I continued the competition, and before I knew it, I was at the end.

Alchemists are good at fighting, so what are they doing…

I thought it was me, but now I really wanted to win the final and win the championship.

“Anyway, I’m rooting for you from the best view of the stadium. I will come and win.”

The final stage was approaching.

As a participant, I went to the preparation space and had quite a few things to do.

I patted my two friends on the shoulder and said goodbye.

“okay! Come win, Satchel! See you later!”

“… … .”

Shunika sent a strong greeting, and Ruen finished cheering with her eyes.

The sight gave me strength.

for me and for my friends.

And maybe for the juniors who are cheering for them elsewhere.

I really want to win this tournament.
