Wallace arrived late at the academy and courteously apologized to Instructor Garen."Mhm..that"s fine, we"ve just discussed your partic.i.p.ation in the international compet.i.tion. You"ll be exempted in projects that will be a.s.signed to your cla.s.s so you only have to focus yourself in the compet.i.tion."
The instructor said as Wallace seated in his chair. Since there will be a long vacation to celebrate the end of year, the academy instructors normally a.s.signs small projects to their students to keep them a little busy.
Since they were in Moon"s First Cla.s.s in Second Year and Section 1 at that, these small projects would normally be about providing insights in some unrealized Mana Artifacts, certain Magic Structure theories, and even some certain individuals that was largely involved in Magic Engineering can be their focus of research.
Wallace thanked the instructor but he did not really mind even if he was still tasked to do this small project. After all, it wouldn"t take too much of his time and may be interesting as well if he was given an engaging topic by his instructor.
For the mean time during the remaining week before the vacation, their cla.s.s have to completely familiarize themselves in all important Magic Structure theories. They don"t have to necessarily be capable of creating them as long as they know how it"s principle works. Once they are in the third year cla.s.s, all the known and official method in artifact forging will be learned as they will be readied to take their licenses as Magic Engineer after they graduated. After all, licensing may take years before being completed.
The cla.s.s resumed and during the remaining time in the morning cla.s.s, instructor Garen completed the a.s.signment of projects to each of his students. Everyone has different topic that they have to tackle which makes it a bit difficult to others. Aside from that, Garen taught them some uncommon Magic Structures that were actually quite helpful.
These magic structures were those that are not being heavily looked into by Prime Magic Engineers who wanted to only create powerful Mana Artifact that is helpful in combat. In truth these simple Magic Structures can only be helpful in daily lives of not only non magicians but also for the certified magicians themselves. Some examples of these Mana Artifacts were mostly being used to help laborers in doing detailed constructions, some were a.s.sistive Mana Artifacts to make cleaning easier, there are even those that helps in agriculture, those that prevents toxic smokes or air pollution, even a simple Mana Artifact that helps in removing fine dust is very useful and many other simple but uncommon artifact.
During the remaining week, he taught them that learning basics would give them higher chance in succeeding in Magic Engineer"s path.
"You all know that a licensed Magic Engineer isn"t the end of the road in your path. There"s still a lot of challenges to reach the apex of craftmans.h.i.+p, so learning the basics will give you st.u.r.dier foundation. Do not forget that."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Garen told everyone and was acknowledged by all the students. They agreed that a good foundation will bring them to a higher heights. A good example of this is Tracy Guilford, their number one in academic grades. She doesn"t have unique abilities and hasn"t submitted original mana artifacts like Ross and Wallace but due to her extensive knowledge in theories and practice, she"s almost always successful in artifact forging. She"s not failing in any artifact forging they did during their practical cla.s.s.

"I got lucky, I only have to give insights about Dr. Mau Zed"s theory of Mana Density and Constancy. How about you?"
Gilbert said to the group while having their lunch in the cafeteria. Their group occupied a table, their number increased to 7 people. After all, everyone in their cla.s.s were friends since there"s only 30 of them in it. Most of them were also cla.s.smates when they are in their first year.
"What? That won"t be easy alright. Dr. Zed"s research probably contains 10-12 thick books if I remember. Are you aware of that?" Ericka commented on the side. She seems to be aware of the theory.
"Really? You"re aware of it?" Gilbert asked in disbelief.
"Yes! I also stumbled on it when I visited the library before. I don"t really think it"s useful at all in battles but can be used for research purposes. That doctor has a unique way of viewing mana as an energy or source of power."
It was answered by Ren Morris. He is one of the seven n.o.bles in their room aside from Tracy, Mark, Ross, and the twins. Ren is a short guy with a black hair and wears luxurious accessory unlike Ross and Tracy who likes to dress simple. His ident.i.ty as a son of a prestigious hospital owner in the city made him popular in the academy. He refused to study the Mage Doctor"s path to join their family ranks but he instead selected to study in Leonhearts Academy that only focuses in combat magicians and mana technicians.
"I"m only familiar on his name as he created that useful Mana Artifact, Zed"s Poison Detoxifier, that still being used until to this date. Right?" Gilbert asked to clear his doubt.
"Haha! There"s more to him. Be prepared once you begun to read his theory. My project is just to give reaction or insights about the situation in Northern Continent." Ericka replied to Gilbert. There"s only very limited information about the situation in the northern continent. Some of the information states that only powerful magicians can live there due to chaotic mana that is existing there.
"Oh! You have an interesting one." Kazimir said to Ericka. He was also quite curious about the northern continent.
"My project is to provide insights about the Lost Technology." Kazimir took a deep breath before continuing.
"Aeolia shouldn"t have died before discovering this." He joked a bit. Ross wasn"t present here anyway. Apparently, before Aeolia"s death or disappearance, he was focusing in a research of a specific Lost Technology.
Everyone discussed their chosen project except Wallace who silently ate his lunch and kept listening with the others. Their other two cla.s.smates in the table also joined the conversation and shared their chosen topic for the small project.
During this time, because of their discussion, Wallace remembered that he had also discovered that there is side effects in the existence of mana that prevents nuclear energy. The side effect is it"s ability to disrupt radio waves as well, which heavily restricts the range of radar and conventional communications. That could be why standard machines without mana enhancement has very limited usage.
Wallace recollected that prior to his s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p"s descent, he waited in this planet"s...o...b..t to receive a form of communication as no one is responding in his own attempts. This could be the reason why no one was answering him, the mana may be the barrier that stops them in any outers.p.a.ce contact or exploration.
He shook his head and continued listening to his cla.s.smates. He may discover more once he get the a.s.sistance of his A.I."s calculation ability, so he kept it at the back of his mind. After today, everyone will go to their provinces to have their vacation and will only meet the next year that"s why they"re spending more time in their chat.
Wallace is now on his way home and he"s looking forward for his nearing union with his s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. He couldn"t help but feel a little excited and worried.
