My Magic Tools Are Selling Too Well - My Magic Tools Are Selling Too Well chapter 64
64 – Summer Vacation (1)
The story about the Red Wolf Gate and Lycanthrope was reported to the top of the academy, the Wellington Dean, through Professor Meline.
The last double gate incident had been reported to the imperial family right away.
Investigators had come to all the professors involved in the case, including me, and this case was quite serious, so of course I knew that the imperial family would handle the case.
However, Professor Melaine told me that this job would be taken over by the academy.
“Right now, the Imperial Family cannot afford to focus on additional double gates.”
“Are you able to afford it?”
“hmm. Sacher As you may have heard, the key material to craft the Double Gate is a fragment of the Eternal Tombstone. Without this piece, the double gate cannot be artificially created in the first place, and the imperial family is putting all their energy into finding it to root it out.”
Vampires, a clan of vampires who hid themselves in the gap between humans during the demon war four years ago.
It is said that they were the ones who brought the [Eternal Monument Fragment] to the continent.
And they also found the ‘dark red gate’ where Venom Arcus resided, and all the vampires learned Professor Bluecliffe’s transfer magic… .
The current focus of the imperial family is to find them one after another and kill them.
The core purpose was to find the [Eternal Monument Piece] and not create any more double gates.
In a word, rather than finding a gate that has already been made, it could be seen as eradicating its roots.
After hearing that, I tilted my head and asked Professor Meline.
“By the way, can you tell me about this?”
I felt her body stop for a moment, but she answered me with a calm expression.
“It was your discovery that became the starting point of all these cases, and you already know all about the core of the case. you deserve to be heard Since I am also involved, I only received it from the dean.”
“aha… So, how does the exploration of the Red Wolf Gate go? Is it packed with academy professors?”
“hmm. It will probably be formed after a lot more faculty members were recruited at the party that was created then. The time will probably be as soon as the final exams are over.”
It was final exam season at the academy.
Many students were busy preparing for exams, and the atmosphere at the academy was chaotic as faculty members in each faculty were also spending their time on exams and grading.
Because of this, there was a high probability that the party to attack the lycanthrope would be formed when the semester ended and summer vacation began.
“I… professor.”
“hmm?”
“If there is a party, how can I not participate?”
It was an agenda that had already left my hands from the moment I finished the report.
I wanted to somehow join the raid party.
I lost the [Vita Taker], the golem I worked so hard on for a long time…
I couldn’t help but watch it still.
“Did you not come to your senses after being hurt that much?”
Professor Melaine’s cold voice pierced my ears like a dagger.
… … .
In fact, she was lucky enough to return to the academy in less than a day, but when she found out about this, she was scolded.
The disciple fought recklessly against the lycanthrope, and her organs and bones were almost blown away, so she could have been very angry.
I have already said and apologized many times, but once again I gave an explanation, not an explanation.
“that is… They say that if you really hold each other and fight back from the front, you can win… . I was really hurt because I was trying to save my friend. Trust me, Professor… .”
It’s really embarrassing… .
At least, if you custom-made a golem, you can deal with it.
The Lycanthrope is a Demon with exceptionally high strength and speed.
Of course, excluding the use of magical power, it mainly engages in melee combat.
If you dig into that loophole and turn the battle into a magical fight, you can easily win.
Because of the nature of a guy who is strong in hand-to-hand combat, he is weak in adapting to situations where magical phenomena and mana are the main focus.
“… Let’s ask the dean.”
Professor Melaine nodded with a face that couldn’t be stopped.
I groaned inwardly and clenched my fists.
In fact, she might not really believe that I can beat a lycanthrope.
In any case, the moonlight clan is the strongest fighting demon tribe that is considered impossible to hunt at the undergraduate level.
Even so, the easy permission was…
Perhaps the fact that I was the key person who initiated the double gate incident.
The fact that it would be a strong party that wouldn’t be dangerous at all even with one person in the party must have been applied effectively.
As someone who wants to participate in the party somehow, it was extremely satisfying.
“so… Are you feeling better now?”
Professor Melaine asked, adjusting her glasses.
I patted my chest for no reason and replied shyly.
“I’m fine. I got help from a very good cleric.”
“It looks like the Southern Branch managed to have such a talented person.”
“They said they were dispatched because they had work for a while. Have you ever heard of Kate Akrion?”
“hmm?”
As if hearing the unexpected name, her eyes widened slightly.
“I was so lucky. To be treated by a hero called the saint of the empire… .”
“Is he that famous?”
In fact, if you’re a high-ranking cleric in the Central Church of the Empire, you’re a fairly powerful person who is recognized as a lower level archbishop or cardinal.
It was only natural that my body, with broken ribs and damaged organs, healed so quickly.
However, I didn’t know that she was a famous hero in the empire, enough to be given the grandiose title of ‘saint’.
“hmm. He is a priest who played an active part in the Demon War four years ago. I heard that after the war, activities almost stopped, almost like retirement… Looks like it’s back to work.”
“I heard that my younger brother was beaten by Venom Arcus. So after Anti-Venom came out recently, they say they are active again.”
“Anti-Venom?”
“yes. So, I asked the professor to say thank you as well. Thanks to us, he was able to cure his younger brother.”
She is a noble priest called the saint of the empire, but she couldn’t heal her younger brother for 4 years… .
It’s ironic, but that’s how much I learned that Venom Arcus are terrible people.
Extreme poison that cannot be detoxified even by the [Detox] of a high-level priest.
Madox did not even have a special antidote until [Anti-Venom] came out.
This was the reason why they were always ranked first when choosing the worst demons, even though they had no outstanding direct fighting power.
“It’s fortunate.”
“So. It seems to me that the magic tool I made is of great help to someone’s life, something strange and thankful.”
“hmm. That is the proudest moment for an alchemist.”
Professor Meline, who is only stiff, seems to be sympathetic to this part.
Her expression as she kept adjusting her glasses and looked at the documents looked very good.
“ah. And the patents for Berserk and Dispel Stone have been finalized.”
“Already?”
“hmm. It was only natural that he gave such an impeccable lecture that day. The report was neat without any major disqualifications, so it seems to have passed quickly.”
[Berserk] and [Dispel Stone].
A creative magic tool produced in accordance with the theory of ‘a structure that the magic tool itself responds to magic’.
Because both magic tools had distinct personalities and attractive effects, it was certain that they would be quite popular with alchemists.
There must be a lot of people who can’t make it even after looking at the patented recipe, but if countless alchemists rush at it, there will be people who can somehow make it.
In addition, since the price of the material is beyond imagination, the royalties coming in once sold will be enormous.
“You look good, Professor.”
“… hmm.”
Normally, he would have scolded me with harsh words like ‘You say unnecessary things’…
Somehow, she also seemed to be in a good mood today.
… After all, no one hates money.

“Sacher… !!”
The academy is in the midst of final exams, and silence settles throughout the campus.
I was greeted by an unexpected person on a bench in the center of the campus.
“Are you Karin?”
“I miss you… !!”
Warak-
Before I had time to say anything, Karin came into my arms.
The last time he allowed me to hold him, this time he hugged me straight away without saying a word.
I don’t have much to say when it comes to the joy of an ordinary brother and sister…
Karin’s hug probably wasn’t meant to be like that.
I seriously wondered if I should keep my distance again like before.
She held me for a long time, then dropped off and said with a happy face.
“how have you been doing?”
“What am I… How are you? But what’s up with your sister? Isn’t the academy demonstration over?”
Karin’s expression crumpled for a moment at my usual question.
“I think I heard this question somewhere. My next answer is, what must happen to come see? Is this what it is?”
“… Don’t hold the horse’s tail.”
“Chi… I’ve heard of this too.”
Karin is a warrior belonging to the Imperial Guard Knights.
The Imperial Guard Knights are the most prestigious knightly order in the Empire.
Of course, it was famous for its hard and rigid discipline and knife-like working hours.
But the newcomer who just entered…
Come to the academy demonstration, and then go out like this even though it’s not a vacation?
If my father, who lives and dies due to discipline, heard about it, it would have been something to be ashamed of.
As if solving my doubts at once, Karin sighed and said.
“I didn’t come, the Royal Guard came to the academy.”
“uh? The knights?”
“huh!”
Karin suddenly pointed toward the school gate with her finger.
When I turned my head, there were quite a few knights getting off the wagons, each organizing their luggage.
As if they were allowed off-duty time, they were all moving around in their casual clothes.
Come to think of it, Karin also wears casual clothes, not work clothes.
Looking at my confused expression, Karin smiled brightly.
“Please take care of me, Sacher! I’m Karin, a member of the Royal Guard Knights, who has been dispatched due to an agreement with the academy. From now on, I will be living, training and working here too. We can continue to see each other even if it’s not vacation or vacation.”
I touched my forehead involuntarily at her words pouring out unconventional news one after another.
ah…
I really can’t afford this.
