    The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 611

    Selection ceremony (3)

    “The following are craftsmen who participated in the selection ceremony on the recommendation of Commissioner Langmuir.”

    The employee who was walking around the stadium and showing the results of the craftsmen said

    “The name recorded in the family register is Lyman. “After being away for a few years you recently returned to the workshop and resumed business.”

    The judges who followed the guide all the way around looked at Lennok’s face and murmured among themselves as if they remembered it.

    “He’s the friend who used the other craftsmen earlier.”

    “He appears to be a very sensitive craftsman and I look forward to seeing the results.”

    “Then where should we look at the production field first? Lyman can you explain what you made?”

    “This is a mechanical wing made with delicate joints.”

    Lennok answered with a calm expression.

    “It may be difficult to attach it to the human body but it may be effective if used by connecting it to the nervous system of a bird that has lost its wings.”

    Gilleon’s armored wings. A mechanical wing in the form of a model that is simply modeled after its external structure.

    As I remembered the shape and structure I was able to create the result using only the metallurgy of other craftsmen.

    Of course like Gilleon’s wings it can only serve as an artificial bird body rather than an artifact or usable equipment.

    In fact the judges’ reaction was lukewarm just like Lennok’s thoughts.

    “Hmm the structural design is very reasonable.”

    “The idea of ​​replacing a bird’s wing is unique but it is not very practical.”

    “I admit that I did my best. Should we move straight to renovation and maintenance?”

    In fact Lennok was a little surprised that the evaluation was not as harsh as he thought.

    However Lennok also realized it too late when he saw the judges’ eyes turn sharp.

    They also recognized to some extent that Lennok’s specialty as a craftsman was not production.

    Apart from the production field did you intend to strictly evaluate the results of the modification and maintenance field submitted as your real specialty?

    While Lennok was lost in thought one of the Meisters came over and lifted another item from Lennok’s workbench.

    “What is this?”

    A metal bead small enough to fit in one hand. It is smaller than a fist and slightly larger than a human eye.

    Several Meisters began to express different opinions surrounding it.

    “There was nothing like this among the equipment presented at this selection ceremony. “It is the result of renovation not maintenance.”

    “The appearance itself is not very desirable. A sphere that is too perfect actually needs a stand to store it.”

    “It doesn’t respond even if I pour in magic power. Is this something that requires a specific trigger?”

    Lennok was not embarrassed by the Meisters’ questions and answered them calmly.

    “It’s a filter.”

    “…You mean the filter?”

    The judges’ eyes involuntarily turned back at Lennok’s words.

    Coincidentally it was the filter that the craftsman who judged right before Lennok’s turn selected as the submission in the maintenance field.

    And the filter maintained by the craftsman was in the shape of a jar that was almost the size of a moving truck.

    The craftsman asked as he looked at the image of a filter the size of a house and the small metal sphere he held in his hand.

    “You’re not going to say that that filter and this little iron ball are the same thing are you?”

    “Please explain its purpose accurately. Did you choose the same filter that the craftsman maintained?”

    “Yes.”

    Lennok nodded.

    “We attempted to miniaturize the seawater filter in consideration of the seawater power generation sector which is responsible for a significant portion of Machina’s power supply.”

    “Miniaturization miniaturization….”

    One of the craftsmen who was laughing while holding the sphere said.

    “I’d like to see it demonstrated first is that okay?”

    “I will prepare.”

    The craftsmen exchanged looks as they watched Lennok begin to pour water into the water pan that had been placed behind the workbench.

    “…I guess we thought wrong.”

    “Did I have too high expectations?”

    “Why is such a reckless effort to downsize the filter…?”

    Most equipment such as seawater filters used to supply horsepower are used in large-scale facilities such as factories.

    As it must withstand the horsepower overload that occurs during the filtration process it is important to create a rough but sturdy design.

    Of course if the filter can be miniaturized and used recycling in various fields will be possible.

    It is almost certain that the stability and durability of equipment will be somewhat reduced in the process of miniaturization.

    Commissioner Brahms who was standing next to him noticed the reactions of the Meisters like a ghost and added his opinion.

    “It doesn’t seem like good intentions to choose the same filter as the result. Don’t other craftsmen feel the same way?”

    “….”

    Since the craftsman who selected and submitted the filter just before was a craftsman from the Steel Heart faction Brahms also did not want to miss the opportunity.

    Among the members of Ex Machina who also participated as judges there were members from Machine Head and War Hammer but rather than worrying about keeping Brahms in check they were concerned about the possibility of miniaturizing the filter.

    In the end it is up to the meisters to decide the final score at this selection ceremony and the criterion will not be which faction they belong to but the master’s original ability.

    Even though Brahms knew this he did not give up and continued speaking.

    “Think about it. “Regardless of whether the filter is miniaturized or not its stability is questioned…!!”

    However the moment Lennoch poured water and threw a metal sphere into the basin Brahms also had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

    Damn it…!!

    This is because the metal sphere which rapidly expanded as it drank water transformed into a huge jar-shaped filter on the spot as if air was blown into a weakened tube.

    The craftsmen muttered as they realized how Lennok had remodeled the filter to make it smaller.

    “Is the shape of the filter constructed using an alloy that absorbs moisture and expands?…”

    “I see. In this way transporting it will not be that difficult as long as the filter and membrane used in the filter are replaced periodically.”

    “But the problem lies elsewhere.”

    The craftsmen who turned to Lennok looked at him with sharp eyes and asked.

    “Actually among the alloys used in the Machine City Machina there is no such thing as an alloy that absorbs moisture and expands.”

    “….”

    “The use of substances other than those given in this selection ceremony is strictly prohibited. “Where on earth did you get this metal?”

    The Meisters were bound by the rules of the selection process and did not miss the essence of how Lennok miniaturized the filter.

    On the spot he confirmed the expansion speed and direction of the metal with the naked eye and realized that it was an alloy that was not included in the selection ceremony.

    Should we say that it is a craftsmanlike thing to first understand the principle and then investigate the cause?

    Lennok thought so and answered calmly.

    “I made it.”

    “…made it?”

    “Considering that I had to make and use the tools myself I thought it would not be against the rules to make the alloy needed for modification myself.”

    “….”

    Someone among the Meisters who exchanged looks of astonishment asked.

    “You probably know that alloy is not a material that can be made that easily.”

    “you’re right. “It is nearly impossible to make metal expand by adding moisture and to control it in the desired direction.”

    Lennok glanced back at the filter he had made and said.

    “However if we limit the expansion to the basic shape of the filter and adjust the properties of the metal it is not completely impossible.”

    “It is an alloy that only deforms and expands into the shape of the filter…”

    Only then did the craftsmen who finally understood the meaning correctly nod their heads with stern expressions.

    “It is no longer the domain of metallurgy or modification technology. If you ask me it can’t even be called an alloy. “Do you know this?”

    “….”

    It wasn’t wrong.

    A metal that absorbs moisture and expands created by Lennok to miniaturize the filter.

    This was not metallurgy as the craftsmen said but rather a substance created using Lennok’s alchemy.

    Although it was made by mixing different metals it lost much of its metal properties through the use of alchemy so it may not be able to be called an alloy after all.

    The fact that it absorbs moisture and expands in the first place is something that is far removed from the previously defined concept of metal.

    But even knowing this Lennok did not hesitate to use alchemy to create submissions in the field of modification.

    Although they combined metals to create a non-metal material they were confident that they would be able to make a stronger impression on the judges who were looking for special talents.

    As expected several of the judges approached with noticeably different eyes and began to touch the alloy used in the filter.

    “I knew it from the time I recognized and touched Pauldring but he is a craftsman with an excellent sense of how to manipulate magic with his hands.”

    “Since they created a new material with the limitation of changing only to the shape of a filter this is proof that they innately understand concepts such as Geass correctly.”

    The craftsman who looked like a young man wearing glasses looked back at Lennok with a look full of goodwill and said

    “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a craftsman with such special talent.”

    “There was a reason why Executor Isabella personally brought you here. “From what I remember Clark…”

    “Uh huh…!! “Isn’t this a story that should be brought up here?”

    “It seems like my metallurgical skills are a bit lacking but if I teach them well I could become a friend who can create something truly special.”

    “If you are selected at the selection ceremony I would like to teach you as my apprentice for a while.”

    “Follow the order Marlon. “This guy needs to work on metallurgy first.”

    Rather than looking around at the other craftsmen as if there was no need to see more several meisters were talking loudly in front of the filter.

    Among them there were also a few Meisters from other factions who seemed to have little interest in Lennok at first.

    “Uh hmm….”

    Brahms who was listening to the craftsmen praising Lennoc with a red face hurriedly changed the story.

    “Everyone is so hasty as we haven’t checked the maintenance submissions yet. “Isn’t it too early to make an assessment?”

    “Oh that’s right.”

    “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a craftsman with such a unique talent for combining metals so that’s a long story.”

    “First Lyman I would like to check the equipment you selected for submission in the maintenance field-”

    While saying that the Meisters turned their heads and suddenly found an old musket on the workbench and looked breathless.

    Equipment that had no name or scorecard attached but was abandoned without anyone’s attention.

    It was an item that Lennok had brought directly from the last display case with the help of an old man.

    But from the moment Lennoch took out his musket none of the judges standing around him spoke.

    “….”

    “This is…”

    “Umm….”

    The judges froze with their eyes wide open as if the friendly atmosphere just moments ago was a lie.

    Even the craftsmen looked at the shape of the musket with a look of wariness rather than interest.

    Even Brahms who was somehow keeping Lennok in check stopped with a look of embarrassment upon seeing the musket.

    Other craftsmen around him who were watching Lennok’s screening process with jealous eyes also realized something was wrong and looked away.

    The silence that spread around Lennok’s workbench encroached on the surroundings and soon filled the entire stadium with silence.

    “It’s one of the artifacts that was displayed in the last showcase.”

    Among them one of the Meisters who had been standing at the very back of the group without saying a word until now quietly walked forward.

    “I don’t know about most of the artisans who participated in this selection ceremony but it is a relic-level artifact that most Meisters have already touched at least once.”

    “….”

    “Most of the meisters selected at the selection ceremony tried their hand at repairing this artifact but none of them succeeded. “Do you know why?”

    The artisan’s eyes shone sharply.

    “This is because this artifact is not made with technology and parts from this world.”

    I knew it.

    Countless nameless artifacts were displayed in the last showcase without any explanation.

    These are not items that were simply put on display because they were thought to be difficult to repair.

    An object whose specifications are completely different from those of an artifact created with magical power or intent.

    Commonly called relics of the old world they are traces of destruction that have gone through one great cycle.

    “Do you know what it means to try to fix it yourself?”

    “….”

    “Maintaining equipment always carries with it the possibility that it will become worse than its original condition. “If you fail to fix this artifact and make its condition worse you will bear the responsibility alone.”

    Was this also the reason why there were relatively few craftsmen trying to stand out in the maintenance field?

    But even though Lennok knew that fact he nodded without hesitation.

    “Can I demonstrate first and then listen to the story?”

    “…good. “If you have that much confidence.”

    Even Meisters who had no interest in Lennok until now came forward and warned him but Lennok was not that shaken.

    Lennok already knew where this musket came from.

    A relic from the old world found in the final display case of the selection ceremony with the help of an old man and the power of Penterect.

    But Lennok was already aware of the fact even before his father-in-law explained it to him.

    The fact that this artifact is a relic of the old world.

    And even that this gun is exclusive equipment used for a specific profession called the Demon Musketeer.

    The highest-grade item that Lennok had ever used as a member of the Demon Musketeer class in the second large-scale update of the game he enjoyed.

    The world of WORLD 2.0. A magic gun that was treated as a top-class item that he must have obtained at least once while enjoying the game as a magician.

    This musket that the old man was just mentioning was the equipment used by the magic musketeers of the old world.
