Immortals From My Past Life Are Still Obsessed With the Reincarnated Me

52 – Engineering Class (4)

Students appeared one after another as class time approached.

There were a few students I hadn’t seen before, and there were a few students with whom I was acquainted.

Guinness was the first to greet us as soon as he saw us.

“Wow! Are you really here? Thank you, thank you so much…….”

“No, I came here because I wanted to hear something.”

“It’s only thanks to Deneb, but even Charlotte and Yuz… ….”

Anyway, it felt comfortable because the kids from the special class gathered together.

There were only about 10 or so people in the classroom, so when there were four of them, it looked like a huge gang.

There wasn’t a group of students besides us.

In other words, it wasn’t that I was following my friends, it was that everyone was taking this class because they liked magic engineering.

“Were you also interested in magic engineering?”

Gwyneth looked back at Charlotte and Justina, his eyes twinkling.

I was very excited to see her wagging her red tail.

However, both Charlotte and Justina averted their gaze slightly with strange expressions on their faces.

“I am interested in engineering, um… I’m honestly fine….”

“She is interested in something other than magic engineering.”

“Ah…… I see.”

Charlotte, she came along because I asked to go with her in the first place.

Meanwhile, Justina glanced at me as she finished her words.

She followed me in the name of protecting Charlotte, so it was clear that Justina had no interest in magic engineering either.

Even that was the reason I put forward to the end, and in reality it seemed like he was just following me.

‘Only Guinness and I are serious about magic.’

I brought several people, but I was the only one who came because I was really interested in magic engineering.

Because of that, Guinness was depressed for a while, but then she regained her energy.

“Yeah, thanks anyway. Even though I’m not very interested, you’re doing it like this. Because it wasn’t canceled thanks to you… I will definitely repay you later.”

“No, what.”

“hehehe, but Deneb was really interested in magic engineering. Right?”

I received Gwyneth’s expectant gaze and nodded.

It was a bit embarrassing, but it was true that I wanted to learn anyway.

But Charlotte came over to me with her mouth raised, as if she thought she had a chance to play again.

“Whoa, is that really so?”

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

“Did you suddenly become interested in magic engineering~ or did you become interested in something else~”

“…… Ah??”

Guinness pricked her red cat ears.

Looking at the way his eyes were shaking, he didn’t seem to understand Charlotte’s joke.

‘Anyway… ….’

I felt sorry for Charlotte whenever she did something like that.

I didn’t even think about it because it was so far away.

In the first place, it was Charlotte who didn’t care about dating.

Since she only worked as a maid in the mansion, maybe it was because she learned love through romance novels, or she used to fantasize about things that were nothing special to her.

“So, Yuzu, don’t get in between the two!”

“…… What else is this girl muttering about?”

Only Justina was in trouble because of Charlotte.

Kikik-

Meanwhile, just before class started, the door opened and several students rushed in.

But there was a familiar face among them.

“Oh my God! Meeting you in a place like this is a great coincidence!”

“What, there are a lot of people. Wouldn’t it be okay if you didn’t come?”

“Joseph, even the cornet?”

Joseph greets you with a friendly smile.

And a cornet that grumbles and doesn’t turn around.

‘Why are you two here?’

I don’t know why, but somehow, the special class members continued in the magic engineering class.

But sure enough, it wasn’t a coincidence.

“hehehe, I actually asked the other kids… ….”

Gwyneth scratched his red hair and stuck out his tongue.

Because he desperately needed help, he must have asked everywhere.

Joseph was a person of character who would do anything for a friend’s request, so even so, if Cornet was unexpected, it was a little surprising.

‘At least it seems like you’re close with Guinness. Is that why?’

Anyway, the entire special class was unintentionally gathered at the magic engineering lecture.

No, to be precise, all the students in the special class. Because there was no Elfin.

With many people gathered, the moment I was about to bring up the story of yesterday’s special class class being difficult, the front door of the classroom opened once again.

“Whoa! Yes, it arrived just in time. hahahaha, are you all here? Starting today, the number of students suddenly increased, so I prepared myself mentally, so I usually go 10 minutes at a time, but this is just at the last minute…….”

A middle-aged man takes a deep breath as soon as he opens the door and enters.

The man with a weak impression did not stop talking even though he was breathing.

Are you nervous and trying to suppress the pressure with nonsense, or is it just your nature to talk gibberish?

Anyway, Professor Winston Gehel headed to his seat, wiping the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.

“That is the professor.”

I heard Guinness whispering.

This is because all of our special class students were seated close to each other.

And since most of them were also taking Mathematics classes, I was surprised when Professor Winston first entered the classroom.

He said he thought he came to the magic math classroom, not the magic engineering classroom.

“Ah, how did that happen… ….”

“hahahahaha, it’s okay. Miss Guinness, I will explain.”

The rest of the students in the special class didn’t seem to know that the Mathematics Professor and the Mathematics Professor were twins, just like me yesterday.

“…… Hmm.”

Ah, Justina, my employer, is an exception.

Anyway, just as Guinness, who was also taking a Mathematics class, was about to explain what had happened, the person in question, Professor Winston, cut off his words and began to explain himself.

His story was no different from what I heard yesterday.

“Oh, my twin brothers are all professors.”

“It’s amazing. It’s not uncommon for siblings to be engaged in the same job because they have the same blood from their parents, but twins.”

“Oh, the young master is not surprised. Did you know?”

“…… Uh, what I did know.”

Right now, I also found out about it last night.

“Hmm, could that have been explained? Then, can I call attendance now? Ha ha ha, this is a bit exciting. It’s the first time I’ve seen the attendance list go on for such a long time… Oh, I’m not crying. Yes. Something got into your eyes.”

I watched Professor Winston carefully.

Justina was also watching him with eyes like a hawk.

Something was suspicious, but it was only suspicious and there was no clear physical evidence.

Though students come and act like an excited new professor. Thinking that he might actually be a snitch gave me goose bumps on my forearms.

‘I’ll keep an eye on you. During this class.’

I will never lose her Charlotte to him.

***

“This is a basic class for first-year students, and it is still in the beginning of the semester, so I am not going to learn anything difficult. I want to immerse you all in the charm of magic engineering, but… Ha ha ha ha ha.”

Originally, it was a class I also applied for to learn about magic engineering.

But when Professor Winston began to look suspicious, I began to focus on his every single action and gesture rather than the contents of the class.

For example, where his gaze is directed.

‘Aren’t you looking at Charlotte?’

If Professor Winston is an infiltrator, his target is Charlotte.

The last king of Delin is on his way to Charlotte, and if the professor were his underling, or at least an ally, he’d have his eye on Charlotte.

So I deliberately focused on whether or not Professor Winston was paying attention to Charlotte, but even my excellent torso eyesight couldn’t tell.

‘It’s ambiguous.’

At first glance, there was nothing suspicious about it.

I didn’t even notice that he was watching Charlotte.

At least, I was able to grasp these things objectively, so my suspicions about Professor Winston faded as time went by.

However, this is not enough to dispel suspicions.

“Whoa.”

Instead, I decided to focus on Professor Winston’s lecture.

“So today is the first time after the course correction period ends, so I’m going to start with a fun story. I will show you various magical products, and I will show you the ones I couldn’t bring but I really want to introduce using materials.”

“Hmm… ….”

Anyway, I felt something in Professor Winston’s class.

That something was more of a weakness than an advantage.

‘I’m a little disappointed?’

Typically, the seasoned vibes of the professors, which were naturally transmitted in basic combat classes or witchcraft classes, were not well visible.

I wonder if the basic magic class feels similar to the magic engineering class?

Perhaps it was because both of them lacked experience in giving lectures as professors, so they didn’t listen to the class smoothly.

‘I’m not good at it.’

I don’t have the experience of teaching anyone at such a grand academy, but I evaluated myself as a former teacher of Elfin.

Of course, even in the midst of that, Professor Winston continued the class without interruption.

“First, let me show you my favorite magic item. It’s not something you can bring with you, nor does it belong to me in the first place, so I’ll bring up the screen myself.”

Down!

The screen came up on something like a curtain drawn behind Professor Winston.

It seemed like a magical product based on screen magic.

Just when I had such a question, Professor Winston just added an explanation.

“I’m sure many of you have seen these magic screens in school. If you’re a wizard, almost everyone can use normal magic that can bring up the screen, so why is there such a thing?”

“This is for professors who can’t use magic!”

As soon as Winston’s question was answered, Gwyneth raised her hand.

Winston nodded at Gwyneth’s answer, and I understood the reason too late.

“That’s right. Magic engineering is a study for those who cannot use magic.”

If you think about it even 500 years ago, it was like that.

Magic was a miracle that only the chosen could handle.

Even now, the essence has not changed, but the expansion of the education system and the universalization of talent have greatly increased the number of magicians.

‘But not everyone can use magic.’

That is. Magic engineering was a study and technology that began to be considerate and for the benefit of ordinary people who could not use magic.

However, only wizards can learn magic engineering.

If you can’t understand and handle mana in the first place, you can use magic technology that someone created, but you can’t develop it.

For this reason, it was often evaluated that a wizard who explores magic engineering is a true wizard who spreads magic for the common people.

‘Of course, the reverse was also true.’

Some wizards were dissatisfied with sharing magic.

However, it soon became clear that no matter how advanced magic engineering was, it could not reach magic, and the limits of magic engineering were clear.

From then on, the number of wizards who resisted the development of magic engineering decreased, but naturally, the number of people who invested in magic technology also decreased.

In the end, magic engineering was pushed to the outskirts among the various technologies on the continent that are developing day by day.

‘…… But why is the last king of Delin so interested in magic engineering?’

It’s just a pity that the high point is low, but it was a very good study at the beginning.

The intention was good, everything was good.

However, the last king of Deelin used magical engineering as his weapon, not magic.

Furthermore, that magic engineering skill was more than the empire’s knowledge.

‘Maybe they solved the limitations of magic engineering… ….’

Oops, I was in the middle of class, but my thoughts went elsewhere.

Nowadays, no matter what I think about, I often end up thinking of Charlotte, the last king of Delin, and Lee Win.

I tried to restrain myself, but it wasn’t easy.

“Now, let’s start with the first item. Before that, wait, I prepared a quiz so you can focus more on the class.”

“Quiz?”

“Yes, this is a quiz related to what I am about to show you. If you match, there is a product, so it’s good to look forward to it. Now then, once…….”

Pot!

The screen was switched and a moving picture appeared on the screen.

Some students burst into exclamations, and some opened their mouths.

Looking at the picture in person, I could understand why Professor Winston said he couldn’t bring it to class.

“…… Airship?”

That’s because the photo was taken of an incredibly large airship.

How can I fit an airship as big as the one my family drove into this small classroom?

There was no other way to show it than to project a picture on the screen.

“Now, this is a magical airship! It is safe to say that it is the most advanced invention among the things that can be implemented with magic engineering technology!”

As soon as he saw the picture, Professor Winston’s tension went up in an instant.

While he was praising her engineered airship, Charlotte excitedly slapped her on my forearm and whispered softly.

“Brother! That one, that one! That’s what we rode!”

“…… Is that so?”

“By the way, what kind of quiz are you giving that airship?”

The magical airship that transported us when we came to Denbergen Academy.

The exact same model as it was in the picture.

Come to think of it, I was scolded by my sister, the pilot of the airship, and the servants because I was curious about it at the time.

Thanks to that, I unintentionally learned a lot about airships…….

“That comes from here.”

…… Anyway, the most advanced magic engineering invention, it was more amazing than I thought.

I was amazed all over again.
