All Novel Full 517 A Great Opportunity

Every student nodded, nobody was bold enough to come here without having either an Alchemist or Blacksmith Talents, or something close to it. Even I who had my Synthesist was also here due to having such a Talent. Eric had Alchemist Druid as well, which was just fitting.
“Alchemy and Smithing is what creates Machinery and other advanced Magic Technology branches. By unifying the powers of these two wonderful types of talents, new things can be created altogether. Our first class will also include a little test, I will now teach you the basics of how Machinery works in this world, and how we’ve spent years researching the most efficient ways of utilizing it as of now.”
Hellburn quickly began walking back to his desk as he grabbed a big metallic box filled with materials, or mostly processed parts and tools for all of us, and quickly decided to share it with everyone.
“[Drones]”
FLASH!
Suddenly, his mechanical arm shapeshifted, letting out several small drones in the shape of bees, which flew around sharing the items with everyone.
“These are Drones, specialized autonomous Golems of small size which can traverse long distances with ease by flying. As you can see, they do not flap their wings but spin them rapidly.” Said Hellburn. “They have the ability to carry heavy amounts of weight with ease. They were designed for carrying materials out of mines, but later evolved and gained several other usages.”
“Oooh…”
“Amazing, golems that fly!”
“I wonder if they’re expensive…”
“One of these costs around 500000 Telis! So yes, they’re expensive, you better not touch them.” Laughed Hellburn. Several of the students were nobles, so such quantities of money weren’t much, but they were still cautious.
Once we sat down in front of our desks, we were quickly give several materials. It was some simple stuff, a big shiny magic stone, some cables, a large cubic-shaped metallic piece to place the crystal inside, some tools, and then a few other metal bits. Hellburn continued his explanation.
“Does anybody has any idea how we create golems?” Asked Hellburn.
All students were clueless… except Alberta, who was happily raising her hand.
“Alberta.”
“It is very easy! By using these special cables made of magic conducting metals such as mithril, and imbued with special runes, we connect them with a source of energy such as this magic crystal and then we unify the cables with correspondent materials. When activated, the magic energy will flow across the cables which then will divide this energy through electromagnetic pulses, forcing it to move. The more we imbue our mana, the easier it is for the golem we create to move to our will!” Alberta quickly gave a big explanation of it. All students were naturally flabbergasted.
“To be expected of her, she comes from that country…” Eric said in surprise.
“Interesting…” I nodded while rubbing my chin.
This was certainly the most basic and simplest of mechanisms, but there could be several areas that could be improved if I use the knowledge of my previous life.
After all, in such previous life, Asmodeus traveled across the Universe and meet all sorts of people and also witnessed several times of different technology.
“That’s right, you’ve got this.” Hellburn nodded. “This is exactly that. we use this magic crystal to connect with the cables, then we connect the cables with specific set parts…”
Hellburn quickly built a small little golem in the shape of a cube with four cylindric limbs.
“And boila!”
FLASH!
The cube suddenly shone brightly with mana, as the small golem stood up, surprising everyone. The golem then began walking around leisurely. Several students thought it wasn’t as complex as they imagined.
“Now as your way of learning, and the first day’s test, I want all of you to try out and make your own golems! I’ve left three other metal boxes in here; grab any parts you want and build whatever you want. The most creative ones will get bonus score!”
Hellburn quickly made everyone smile as they realized they could get to work right away into what they truly came here for.
“Machinery is all about imagination. As we are all here fellow creators, we need to put our imagination and ideas into a form, this is the time for all of you to show me your own ideas, what true colors your minds have. In this moment of peril where we are fighting against the forces of the demons. We need people like you, that can invent new things and aid us in these perilous times. Machinery has improved the daily lives of many, but there’s much to be discovered. An old man like me has done a lot, but I know that in new minds there can always be new, and fresh ideas.”
Hellburn said inspirational words, as the students were pumped up. Without further ado, they all started working on their own creations.
“Teacher, can we use our skills for this?” One of the students asked.
“Feel free! But no spirits allowed. So you’ll have to do with the tools you have and the talents you were given. I know spirits are very important, but they would be more of an outside help from what I want to see from all of you. In other classes, they will be allowed to participate.” Hellburn smiled back at the student.
“I see! Thanks!”
“Nice! I am going to make a big… weapon golem!”
“I’ll make something good, you’ll see!”
“I’ve always wanted something that could generate wind… is it possible? Oh! There’s a wind spirit stone here!”
“There’s plenty of materials so take whatever you need. Element-imbued spirit stones are special as they can bring elements to your golems! Envision your blueprints within your young and intrepid minds and bring forth your greatest creations! I am eager to see what you’ve got for me! Don’t disappoint me!”
I quickly decided to go grab several materials, as I had something in mind.
