Picatinny Society (1)

A loop is wound on the rotating chamber.

Voices erupted from here and there around the brightly shining circle.

“Oh! That’s right…!”

“Multiple mediation already so proficient…”

“As expected, the founder is on a different level!”

There was not even the slightest bit of fear in their eyes even though the demon beasts were rampaging and going back and forth with bullets.

The only thing that shines in their eyes is a sparkling curiosity.

Wizards are such simple people.

– aaa!!

Dodging the rushing centipede’s torso, he demonstrated the magical power visualized with light in front of people.

The three formulas calculate:

flow. structure. effect.

I proceeded to prove the three formulas step by step.

“The formula of flow can schematize the movement of magical power and identify the principle and process by which it works.”

Originally, only the characteristics of magic and magic are different, but the working principle is the same, so the expression formula is also the same as that of magic.

The demons gathered in the beast’s body gather in the sharp legs.

Enhanced series of spells that increase cutting power and speed.

Demon qi moves along the front legs, and the formula that calculated it is written in the air.

bang! bang!

I calculated the flow, accurately predicted the circuit it would pass through, and hit it.

The bullet pierced the beast’s belly, and blood and demonic energy gushed out.

– Kyaaagh!

“The formula of structure can calculate the structure of magical power and identify its unique characteristics and properties.”

The centipede’s body sweeps the ground.

I jumped and dodged it, and grasped the flow of magical energy that was being concentrated in its mouth.

Dismantle the structure of magical power and discover its principle.

Characteristics given are acidity and toxicity.

Immediately, he put a bullet enchanted with ‘Admiral’ into his mouth.

Tuck!

His head tilted back, and the green liquid that gushed out of his mouth quickly lost its color and neutralized.

“Finally, the effect formula calculates the effect of the ability that the target’s magical power will take.”

Demonic energy gathers in the heart of the demon.

Seeing as it started to run wild in an instant, it was an intention to self-destruct.

“And if you succeed in grasping the enemy’s magical power after going through all of these processes.”

I started interfering with mana by mixing it into his demonic energy.

Disperse the demonic energy gathered in the heart and destroy the constituent spells.

No magic or superpowers needed.

The enemy’s magical power, whose flow, structure, and effect were all grasped, could be easily dismantled with just simple magical interference.

It is like software with all so-called firewalls broken through.

Tuquaang!

The revolver spewed fire and pierced the heart of the one whose self-destruction had been cancelled.

Blood gushed out, and the creature stopped moving.

“You can control your magic.”

He said while looking at the falling demon.

As I continued the explanation, my eyes were on him.

-Oh, how many…

The Centipede Demon Beast, who had transformed into a demon, fell into the hole he had climbed from, holding his heart and his broken chest.

Only then did I look back at the audience and finish my speech.

“This is how the three formulas are used in practice. Do you have any questions?”

There were no questions.

It seemed like there was not enough time just to write down the contents and the formulas I had posted so far.

It will be difficult to understand easily.

It’s because it’s digging up the components of magical power and blocking all the phenomena that it will cause.

I said with my back to those who had hardened.

“If there are no questions, I’ll see you later. I have business down there.”

After saying that, I threw myself into the hole where the demon beast fell.

The Witchbeast seen from the bottom of the pit was nearing its end.

The body of the centipede was crumbling white, and at the end of the body, which disappeared like a skin, lay a woman in a robe.

When you see the cracked skin and shallow breathing, you won’t be able to last a day even if you leave it as it is.

Since the structure of the whole body has collapsed, there is no way to recover it.

It is a fatal wound with no room for recovery.

The fallen robe opened his dry mouth and continued.

“Isn’t it even… the opponent…”

“·······.”

“I… tried my best… but you… just… treated me like a teaching aid…”

He breathes heavily and lets out a voice.

I walked in front of her, raised my foot and stamped her head.

“Does it still seem like this place is responsible for the destruction of your world?”

Slowly, power your feet.

The skull cannot withstand the pressure and begins to creak.

“The reason you lost was simply because you were weak.”

“·······.”

“War is a series of choices. There are battlefields that must be abandoned, and there are battlefields that must be defended. You were weak, and there were only battlefields that had to be abandoned.”

Even if it’s unfair, I can’t help it.

War is like that, and sometimes you have to accept it.

Abandoning allies, retreating, abandoning important cities and strongholds.

Even so, he had to survive and plan for the future.

that’s war

However, obsessing over past defeats and turning the point of the sword at your allies is really what irredeemable scum do.

“My world was not even aware of the existence of a central dimension.”

So, I talked about the battlefield I had been through.

“I didn’t get any support, and I couldn’t even use magic because it was a dimension so remote.”

“What···.”

“Nevertheless, we got through it.”

There was no military support.

The power of magical power was unfamiliar, and there was not even a study to deal with it, so I had to create it myself.

But I, we, nonetheless overcame the war.

He overturned his lack of power with strategies and built non-existent studies from the ground up.

After so much struggle, we were victorious.

“Did you say it was unfair? You lost because you didn’t help, and you fell into the abyss because you were abandoned?

“·······.”

“Your words are nothing but excuses.”

Rob was speechless.

He was only looking at me with his eyes lifted with his weak and limp body.

“I will kill all demons in this land. Even demons like you.”

“hahahaha… that’s really cool.”

she laughed weakly.

Then, he looked at me with wide eyes.

“Then kill me.”

“Sure, I will.”

I removed my feet from my head and awakened the power of mind control.

Stage 3, the power of erosion.

I planted a hallucination in Rob’s head that made him feel even the pain vividly.

“However, it’s too merciful to kill easily.”

She will be wandering in the nightmare of suffering and dying thousands of times in the future.

In place of the person they would have sacrificed, I imprisoned her in a prison of eternal torment.

“Kkeoheuk···Kkeok···Kkeok···Kkiik···!”

“There, lie there in agony until you die.”

And if one day the strength of the body runs out, then only then will it be able to die.

“I don’t know how many times I’ll die in nightmares.”

And, I took a step back.

Until the end, I didn’t ask Rob’s name.

It wasn’t worth knowing or remembering.

Going through the bottom of the hole, I never looked back.

*

The case was quickly settled.

The bomb of the spirit vein was safely removed, the students were protected, and the investigation of the demons was started by the guard.

As this was an unprecedented situation, Helios did not feel light about accepting this incident.

Perhaps a large-scale search will begin, and if there are remaining demons, blood will blow.

Of course, there were no changes that affected the lecture right away.

It’s the school authorities and guard team’s job to investigate, not mine.

I ended the work by sending back the gathered wizards and promising compensation to the students who had participated in the group assignment as a reason.

“I’m glad they went back quietly.”

“There was something promised in the first place, so it’s only natural.”

And a long-awaited leisurely weekend.

I was invited to a tea party hosted by Mason.

“Take off the mask, though.”

“This is comfortable.”

“Don’t you drink tea?”

“I don’t enjoy it very much.”

He looks this way with narrowed eyes.

If that’s the case, it’s the face that asks why you accepted the invitation.

“…Magicians are sensitive to conditions. The condition was to find you first, so those who arrive late will regret it, but they will not be angry.”

Just like Mason said, the wizards at the academic conference and workshop swallowed their regrets, but did not respond sharply.

However, at the end, it was quite burdensome to see him handing over a business card somehow.

“That’s why I covet your talent.”

“Is that so.”

If it’s Mason, that’s what it would be like.

I expressed no further concern.

Then, Skadi, who was lying down next to her, intervened with a troubled face.

“Hey. What am I not doing? I’ve been working a lot too, right?”

“Is there anything you want? If it’s not burdensome, I’ll do it.”

“really?”

“Yes.”

Then he raises his head and looks at me with gun-like eyes.

“Then, would you like to do what I said last time?”

“If it’s the last time?”

“Thesis examiner!”

Thesis examiner…there was such a thing.

I’m sure I remember that I politely declined because of the teaching assistant issue.

“Looks like you haven’t found someone to be your assistant yet.”

“Kuhmm…”

I didn’t expect much.

Today’s Mathematics is conducting an unprecedented curriculum throughout the history of academia.

classes and research. Everyone will have to learn something new, so it’s natural to be burdened as a teaching assistant.

‘What. Isn’t that bad?’

The dissertation examiner was a position that I was also interested in.

The workload will increase, but he won’t be picked right away, so there won’t be a big problem if he’s in charge.

“Okay. Let’s do it.”

“really!?”

“If you are really chosen as an examiner.”

“Don’t worry about that! If I put in a letter of recommendation, it just goes right through!”

Skadi got angry and left right away.

Is that something you would like too?

It is said that no one understands her thesis, but it must have been that stressful for her.

“Cheolkeol. You’re going to be very busy in the future too. If you add the thesis reviewer to this job.”

“You have to accept it.”

“But don’t worry. As busy as you are, your reputation will go up.”

Fame.

Actually, that’s what I’m aiming for.

When I was planning this job in the first place, I also considered the aspect of fame considerably.

It instills a sense of awareness that Helios is not a safe zone, and at the same time prepares a foothold for me to emerge as a leading role.

It is not to be a professor at the academy, but to become an authority with its own ripple power.

So that the weight of my name becomes heavier, and the reliability of my words and knowledge reaches a higher place.

“Anyway, if you’re a dissertation examiner in this case, there’s something I can recommend.”

“What if it’s a recommendation?”

“Let’s see… I should have it…”

He rummaged through the wallet-like subspace pouch and said, ‘Ah!’ With an exclamation, he held out a luxurious-looking letter.

“Do you know what the Picatinny Society is?”

I do not know.

Even in my lifetime, I had no ties to the academic society, and even after coming here, I had nothing to do with it.

“Is it a place similar to Magic Tower or Helios?”

“Similar yet different. The direction they pursue is unique.”

Is the direction unusual?

Are you researching something strange?

“The Mage Tower is a complete group of scholars, and Helios is also a military academy, but it tends to pursue a wide range of studies. But Picatinny is different. It only handles research and development for military purposes.”

military purpose.

In other words, it means researching technology to be used in war.

“Of course, the military at the central level is sponsored, and Helios is also stepping up.”

“Now that we are at war, the value of that name must be high.”

“Of course. The scope of the agenda covered is narrow, but the scale is much larger. If you simply calculate it, it will be equivalent to the entire Awencal.”

“Hmm···.”

It is a matter of concern.

I didn’t really like being involved with the military in my previous life.

The coercive and rigid atmosphere unique to the military did not suit me very well.

I don’t think it would be very different from this place, but the reason I was worried was the purpose of the society.

‘It’s for military purposes…’

The bar I pursue is also like that in the end.

To spread the science that will win the war.

The current academic ecosystem is not a good soil for my Mathematics to take root.

The theory of multiple mediation. Necessary studies, such as the three formulas for magical power, have not yet been revealed, and there is an absolute lack of materials or theories to be used as textbooks.

Not to mention the related equipment.

I also want to have the infrastructure in place to support my students when the time comes for them to go to war.

“Okay. Let’s go.”

“Okay. Then keep this invitation for you.”

He kindly handed over the invitation to me.

Intention, I don’t know.

Seeing my dissertation so coveted, it would be normal for me not to want my name known elsewhere.

“Actually, one of the groups that sponsors the Picatinny Society is the Magic Tower.”

“·······.”

“Cheolkeol. There’s no way I’m giving you useless advice.”

I thought so.

I shook my head excitedly and got up from my seat.

The tea he hadn’t taken a sip of was weakly swaying.

“Ah, dubious attire or masks are prohibited there. Dress up in a tailcoat and go.”

pestilence.
