Chapter 50: Are you going to make a big fuss? Number One First Machine!

Just as every day's college festival ends with a brilliant salute exploding in the air, every morning begins in this same way.

If the salute that blooms in the night sky means the end will make all participants full of expectations for the next day, then the fireworks that bloom in the morning will make everyone fall into the festive atmosphere of the festival.

Perhaps this day is only a relatively ordinary day during the college festival, but for first-year and even all alchemy students in the school, it is a day to start working hard for them. The school-wide alchemy research competition will officially begin today, and after a three-day grading period, the champion will be selected on the last day of the college festival!

There is no concept of runner-up and third place! In other words, as long as you get the highest score, you will enjoy a bonus of one thousand gold coins! Although this event is based on a club topic, it is impossible for a single person to enjoy it exclusively, if one thousand gold coins is distributed after internal negotiation, it can still satisfy everyone!

Although there is no battle-type competition with a prize of up to 4,000 gold coins, the rewards are generous, but creation is not something that can be obvious from the data like combat strength! Therefore, at this time, the impact of the strength of an alchemist is only a small part.

In short, it is a competition where even the weak have opportunities! In this case, it is indeed necessary for any participant to work hard for it.

Our club's research topics must be the best! What we have done is definitely the most interesting! Although each club does different research topics, this idea is the only thing that everyone has in common!

As the referee of this Alchemy Research Competition, a young man named Esso, but unlike the people who are responsible for related matters in this college, he is not from this college, or he does not belong to this college now - a senior who graduated from here two years ago. Originally, this position should be handed over to students from the Alchemy Department, but at this time, aren’t all students from the Alchemy Department all contestants? It is too unreasonable to let the contestants serve as the referee host at the same time, so he can only do it.

He is the director of the referee, and if he is the scorer, he is all the alchemy mentors in the hospital. At this time, it was a while since the competition began.

"Well... I'll look at the next club." Esso said in comparison with the list in his hand: "Just looking at the name, it's a very powerful club. The No. 6 player - the 'Magics hate clubs the most' from Class B, 2nd Grade B of the Alchemy Department."

"And the topics they are studying are also cruel enough. They claim to be props for magicians who can restrain any level of magicians... Although I don't know why they have this level of hatred for magicians, I still look forward to their research results a little."

As Esso spoke, three male students entered the scene, and they were carrying a thick metal armor in their hands. This was probably their research result.

"Student, this is what you said. Can you control all magician props?" Esso asked, and at the same time moved the equipment used for amplification to the mouth of the student headed by the club.

"Ha...it's right. If any magician encounters it, don't think of sending out another small fireball!" Although he was breathing because the thing he was carrying was too heavy, he still couldn't hide the excitement in the tone of this classmate.

This confident answer surprised Esso. What should be the concept of props that any magician can restrain! Although it seems to be inconvenient because it is too heavy, if it really has such a defensive effect, it is worth it! The talents that the current juniors have are really surprising! Esso commented.

"In other words, will a warrior wear this armor mean that he will be completely immune to the devil?" Esso asked excitedly.

"No...no, this thing is for the magician to wear!" The president of the club replied seriously.

"Ha?" I didn't expect that it was not only the effect that surprised Esso, but even the wearer.

The president sounded his fingers and signaled the two assistants around him to put them on. After dozens of minutes of tedious wear, the president finally completely put on the work that took two weeks. He looked so majestic, wearing thick armor.

But immediately, he half-kneeled down. It seemed that the weight of the armor was as heavy as everyone's eyes could see, but even so, it still could not cover up the president's proud expression!

"Haha, I feel that the magic power in my body is completely imprisoned! It has nothing to do with the level! Even if the Dharma Saint comes, it can only have the same effect as me!" He smiled arrogantly.

Although I don’t know if it is true, I just think that it does have the effect of imprisoning all the magic powers of the wearer. But why does the magician need to wear this kind of armor that is obviously unfavorable to you in battle? Isn’t this the same meaning as self-destruction?

Moreover, with such amazing weight and cumbersome wear process, a magician with normal mind will not wear it, right? With the time and opportunity to wear this armor that cannot release magic, it is better to stab him directly, right? Esso thought speechlessly.

"Haha... Please give me the scoring tutors." Esso laughed dryly.

After a short period of contemplation, the five judges and mentors all raised signs ranging from 3 to 4 points.

"Impossible! This effect of completely imprisoning magic is perfect!" The president seemed unable to fully accept this score that was undoubtedly a defeat. If it weren't for the weight of the armor that he could not stand up, he would have been fighting with the judges long ago.

The proud work was denied by the referee and he wanted to take revenge, but this armor also restricted his revenge. He could only shout: "This is the dark side!" and was carried off the stage by several tall school guards...

Anyway, this situation is common. As students who have not yet graduated, they often start researching because of an interesting conjecture that suddenly appears, but in the end they completely ignore the practicality of the things they have made.

I hope the next club will get a high score! As Esso thought so, he picked up the table in his hand again.

However, he found that the God of Fate seemed to hear the voice of hope in his heart. This club that appeared as No. 7 can be said to be a special existence that almost does not require any explanation from him.

"The large dangerous monster and monster research club, the commander of Class D in Grade 3." Esso said only this sentence, but just this introduction to the extreme has raised the atmosphere of the whole audience to the peak! Legendary club, legendary name!

Commander, no one knows what his original name is, or it is simply ignored, just because the word "Commander" is too dazzling! He was obsessed with studying various dangerous monsters and once hired a large number of guards to break into dangerous jungles, and lost the power of his legs in danger! But even so, he never stopped his research! Whether it is talent or persistence, it is enough to carry the title of alchemy genius!

Even though Esso has graduated for two years, the name will still be passed to his ears through his younger brother who is still in school. It can be said that if there is any junior in Gaia Academy who is eager to witness his true face, then it will be this classmate with the title of weird commander!

The commander who was pushed into the stage by his assistant was the commander in a wheelchair. He had very short black hair and dark yellow glasses on his face that were out of place with the age of the students. He was obviously an alchemist representing the most cutting-edge technical profession, but under him was a wheelchair that needed a deputy to push before he could move forward.

If you really want to say something special, then there is a small table in front of this wheelchair that looks like it can be used for work. At this time, the commander was holding his hands on it. As for his face, he looked serious and thought about something. This is the commander, a talented student who always maintains a serious and unrelaxed attitude!

"This... are you the commander classmate? As a high-end student, why don't you change into more convenient transportation tools?" Esso asked about the doubts in his heart. Compared to the works that shocked him by the person in front of him, he cared more about what kind of existence there was in front of him.

"The funding for this research has been invested in the research on the subject..." Still maintaining the serious and thoughtful posture, the commander spoke lightly, as if for him, his more convenient enjoyment was not important than for the research on the subject.

"Is it...is it true?" Esso, who had conducted investigations on such a special student in front of him, knew that the commander was not a poor person, but was still very rich! How gorgeous is the work that even a young master had to exhaust his money?

Just such an answer has already diverted Esso's curiosity about the people in front of him to his curiosity about his works.

Without continuing to sway everyone's appetite, the commander's club's works finally slowly entered the background, revealing its true appearance in front of everyone!

A thin human object of more than ten meters looks like a metal-like dark purple armor covering the whole body. Located above the hideous face is a sharp horn. Although there is no aggressive part other than that, this body of more than ten meters high is enough to make any large thing around it a weapon of great lethality!

Carrying such a giant came an alchemy-made load-carrier made by a large number of magic crystals. If you use manpower to transport such a work into the venue, it is hard to imagine what a spectacular scene it would be! The manufacturing cost of this load-carrier alone is already expensive. Esso suddenly understood that this was indeed a work that was enough to make a rich young master exhaust his savings!

However, it is also a work worthwhile. It looks like a mechanical alchemy puppet, but such a size is rare in recorded history of human beings. It is even said that it only appears occasionally during the most prosperous period of alchemy.

This guy... actually made such a thing! Does he want to start a war? Esso was a little shocked. He couldn't imagine that if such an alchemy puppet could be put into mass production, even the sharpest army in the country would be defeated like a mantis arm!

But even if this is true, it is still the nobles' business, and there is no connection with a petty citizen like Esso - this is not something that his ability can stop. Forced to suppress his uneasiness, Esso continued to ask questions as the referee host.

"Oh! Just watching the work that is already shocking! Commander, what kind of evaluation do you, as a creator, have you, what kind of evaluation do you have for this work?" Esso asked.

"It's very dangerous, very dangerous..." The commander used two "dangerous" heavy. He heard Esso's chrysanthemum tightening. He couldn't imagine what kind of things could make him evaluate "very dangerous" in a dangerous forest.

Sure enough, is it still a tool for war? Esso's heart sank.

"Oh! Commander, how did this alchemy puppet be activated?" Esso asked according to his curiosity.

"Just pull out the plug below it will start..." The commander who supported the table with both hands and looked serious was basically asking questions and answering questions. Is it out of his arrogance as a creator or his absolute confidence in the work?

Esso looked in the direction shown by the commander's gaze. The huge body was indeed delaying a thick line and connected to the loading tool below. It seems that this loading tool is not only a simple function of load-bearing transportation, but also a role in improving the energy required by this alchemy puppet.

Although I don’t know why the plug that transports energy will start, according to general concept, it is not the plug that transports energy will start, right? But Esso didn’t think much about it. Anyway, the things made by genius are a bit strange like genius himself! He held the plug that was said to be opened and the body would start.

"That's it! Let's wait and see!" As he said something that suited the referee and drove the atmosphere of the whole audience, Esso increased his efforts to pull out the plug.

At this moment, the commander's second half of the sentence came slowly.

"But the purpose of my research this time is to prevent it from starting..."

"Puff..." At this moment, not only Esso, who pulled out the plug, but even the audience was a little disobedient.

"Why?" As if time suddenly stopped, Esso looked at the plug that had just been pulled out in his hand and said silently. The commander's faint tone always made him feel like he had done something irreversible.

At the same time, he didn't understand why the purpose of the work he made was to prevent it from starting... Isn't this completely meaningless!

"Because the difference between its activation and its rampage is literally no difference in meaning..." The commander still maintained a calm state. Although his expression was a calmness that filled Esso's sense of security, his words seemed to push him to the edge of the cliff inhumane.

Such a behemoth...what if Esso dares to continue to imagine it.

"Then... why don't you stop me?" Esso asked in a difficult and muffled voice.

"You are moving too fast, and, do you think I can stop you from looking like you?" The commander pointed to his legs and the wheelchair, compared the distance between them, indicating that he was powerless.

Is it the only one who is wrong? Is it because of irreparable mistakes? Esso suddenly hopes that a priest will appear now and listen to his confession.

But now, there is something more important than repentance?

"If you say so..." Esso asked nervously.

"Yes, it's going to go wild."

The commander still maintained that calm and serious expression, and said words like "Today's afternoon tea was decided to be matcha cake" in a calm tone, saying something that made people feel completely uneasy...

No... there is another way? Since the plug that improves energy will be pulled out and will start... that is, it will go wild, then, according to the opposite principle, as long as the plug is plugged back, it can be restored to its original state! That's right... Before it even started! Esso, who felt that he had made a huge mistake, finally discovered a certain point.

He hurriedly inserted the plug in his hand back into the slot, and looked at the huge body that was still motionless, Esso breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh, fortunately there is still time..."

"It's too late..." The maker of the body interrupted Esso's glad words lightly: "If you plug it back immediately when you pull it out at the beginning, it might be able to suppress its activation... but it's too late."

"Then why didn't you say it earlier!" Esso went crazy.

"And, do you think it is still now?" But the other party didn't care about Esso's words and still said the current situation coldly.

"It... is actually trembling! It is like being away from some powerful constraint..." Esso found that the body close to him seemed to be trembling - it was activated!

"Yes, its awakening begins from the moment you pull out the plug that provides the energy that provides restraint. Listen carefully to its sound..."

"Yes...it's a cracking sound!"

At the same time as the increasing tremors were the small sound of shattering coming from the thick and firm mecha.

"What this dark purple metal shell does not make is not a protective effect, but only to restrain it!" Esso only felt that the alchemy puppet in front of him seemed to have completely overturned his understanding of such things, which was too surprising... If the whole audience did not sneak into the disaster this time, he would undoubtedly be the champion.

"Protection? It doesn't need something like this."

Amid the commander's calm explanation, the metal armor on the surface of the giant body had long been broken, and its mouth, which was originally covered with strong armor, also lost all constraints, like an awakened beast, which opened its mouth, which was not large in size compared to its body, roaring like the most primitive beast.

It obviously looked like a mechanical body, but at this time it gave everyone present a sense of horror like an out-of-control carnivorous beast.

The violent screams made everyone present start to run away in panic. No matter whether the roaring behind him was an alchemy puppet or a ferocious alchemy beast, there was no doubt... a disaster!

"The restraint has completely lost its effect..." But the commander who was close to the dark purple body did not escape, nor even had a panic expression. He looked at the roaring "fighting beast" next to him, as if he was only appreciating the works he was proud of.

"Do you want to make a big fuss? First plane!"

It turned out that the huge body in front of me was wrong. It should be said to be an alchemy beast... Is it such a name? Esso, who held the plug of the "big beast" in front of me, stood blankly, not knowing what expression to face it.

What about this...a remarkable plug?
