Rumors about the actions of celebrities spread even if the person himself does not like it. The actions of Lee Ha-yool, who attended the Siyoram High School, were no different.

First semester, first year.

Lee Ha-yul received specialized training from the top-tier hero, Atraclyde, who came from outside.

Although nothing is officially known, it is said that it was training in physical growth and fighting techniques.

The achievement was proven by the first pagoda and the Siphnaha incident.

At the first entrance, he was not pushed aside by the other cadets of the cradle class, but rather showed his best performance.

In the midst of the rampage of a level 4 dungeon that I was caught up in without warning, I single-handedly subdued numerous monsters and alpha entities.

1st year, 2nd semester.

Lee Ha-yul started to dabble in magic. He had been learning magic before, but he started taking magic classes in earnest in the second semester.

Likewise, the results have been proven.

The representative material, the birth of the tower, and the magical warriors that were centered around the absurd scale of the battle are still topics that float around the community from time to time.

So, first semester of second year.

“… … .”

This year’s new professor, Tigreen.

She trembled as she looked at Lee Ha-yul, who was attending the ‘Production Major’ lecture she had opened.

A window seat with soft sunlight streaming in. The pure white hair, tightly closed eyes, and winged clothing stand out.

There was no room for illusion in the overwhelming figure that occupied the field of vision.

‘You really came…’

There were signs. Currently in the liberal arts semester, there are several production major lectures that Lee Ha-yool has ‘defeated’ before.

-How was it? Dude, it was really ridiculous… You don’t know? Kick, aren’t you going to see it soon?

Come see for yourself.

The giggling laughter of the professor, with whom I had become quite close in a short period of time, lingered in my ears.

He was a professor specializing in production like Dotti Green, and was in charge of the lectures that Lee Ha-yul had previously taught.

“Ugh, ahem!”

Tigreen tried to clear his throat. The students who were looking at him were all focused on him.

As expected, the classroom is spacious and comfortable. There are more students than expected.

The floating population unique to free semesters is due to interest in the lectures and following someone.

“… Greetings to the students who participated in this lecture. I am T. Greenweiler, the new professor of the 122nd class and the lecturer of “Delicacy of Precision Manufacturing.””

-Clap clap clap clap!

A round of polite applause poured in for the greeting that pretended to be calm. Tigreen, who had been bowing his head, glanced up.

Among those applauding was Lee Ha-yool. The sight of them clap their hands politely made Tigreen’s stiff expression slightly loosen.

Although Lee Ha-yool’s actions were jokingly called a “destruction,” it was not meant in a negative sense. Rather, it was full of good stories.

“… Thank you.”

The applause stopped. Tigreen turned his head and looked around the classroom.

“As you all know, this is a new lecture that has just opened, so it may be shorter in history and depth than the famous representative lecture.”

It has been over 100 years since the city cradle was built. While rivers have appeared and disappeared repeatedly, there are some that have not disappeared.

There is a history to such lectures. There are even lectures that have been held since the time of chaos, so the accumulated data and experience are enormous.

“But it may be new and unfamiliar to me. I think the students who came to this lecture will have similar reasons.”

Classic and modern. It is hard to say which is better, but they each have their own strengths and weaknesses.

“This lecture aims to have a time to actively share the enlightenment and experience that has been accumulated. I heard that most new lectures are like that.”

Newness, unfamiliarity, the latest and greatest. Classics with a lot of history and experience are elements that cannot be easily given up.

This is also the purpose of the new lecture at Siyoram.

-Clap clap clap clap!

As soon as the lecture introduction ended, applause poured in again. It was a more powerful applause than before. The corners of Tigreen’s mouth twitched.

It was worth the effort of thinking about it for several days. Tigreen lifted the supplies, praising himself for the first time, saying that it went smoothly.

“Okay! So this is what we’re going to do in the first hour!”

Thud! A large box was placed on a nearby table. Tigreen rummaged through it and took out the supplies. The cadets’ eyes were drawn to the hand.

“Twisty Puzzle?”

“Yes, it’s a puzzle.”

A puzzle commonly known as the 3x3x3 cube. However, it has so many pieces that it is closer to a sphere than a regular cube.

“But, this is a training tool that I designed and made myself.”

At those words, the students’ eyes became more curious. Tigreen nodded, gladly accepting their interest.

“Okay, if you pour in magic power like this… ”

Woot! The magic-infused puzzle began to glow. The dull gray surface turned blue.

“The color changes. Usually it is blue, which is the standard horsepower. However, it is not constant. ”

It’s not constant. It was exactly as it said. Some pieces are bright blue, some are cloudy blue.

“The saturation changes sequentially according to the density of magic power. Pieces with a lot of magic power are bright, and those with less magic power are dark. ”

The functionality doesn’t end there. This forehead tool is truly a puzzle.

-Click

The intricate puzzle spun around once. The pieces were shuffled. At the same time, the blue color on the surface rippled. The colors were jumbled together like waves crashing down.

“If you mix the puzzle like this, the magic power will also be mixed.”

“Ah, that kind of thing… ”

“I think you’re right. Do you know why I said it’s for training? ”

Most of the cadets realized how to use the tool with that function. Tigreen shook the puzzle with a muddy mix of colors.

“You just need to put in the magic power and make the saturation on each side the same. So, the magic power density is the same. ”

“Oh… ”

As soon as the explanation was over, cheers were heard everywhere.

Wow, I was a student who was amazed by the complexity and precision of the magic tool.

“Ah… ”

Sigh, the student had guessed how much it would take to match that. At that reaction, Tigreen smiled bitterly.

“In this day and age, making something doesn’t necessarily mean just hitting a hammer. In fact, horsepower is more essential, and there are many ready-made weapons that are made by machines.”

It is not only the classic method of pounding iron on an anvil with a hot furnace nearby that is used.

It is a fact that even the special Integrin cannot deny that such a classical method is effective.

Off-the-shelf products are made much faster and more efficiently by machinery.

“But we are not satisfied with common ready-made products, right? Masterpieces, masterpieces, masterpieces, inventions of the century. That is what I want to make.”

T-Green shrugged his shoulders, smiling.

“The lecture that was opened because of this is the ‘Delicacy of Precision Production’ lecture. Because it takes a certain amount of skill to create a masterpiece. Okay, everyone. ”

Tigreen thumped the box down on the table.

“Okay, I’ll give you one each, so touch them. Of course, this isn’t the only thing I’m asking you to do, so don’t worry.”

The contents that poured out on the table were all identical puzzles.

A magic tool made by Tigreen himself. It is difficult to mass-produce it like this, but thanks to the cooperation of the city cradle, it was easily mass-produced.

-Click, click, click…

“The liquidity is too much… The more I turn it, the more it mixes up like shit… ”

“That would be the difficulty adjustment. You can increase the speed to suit your level.”

“Ah, definitely. It’s easy if you don’t match it and just manipulate the horsepower? Oh… So this is how the difficulty is adjusted. The organs and techniques must be incredibly complicated. ”

“Why would you be Professor Shiyoram?”

‘Ahem… ‘

The sound of puzzle pieces being put together could be heard everywhere. The corners of Tigreen’s mouth twitched at the occasional exclamations and compliments.

I’m sure you made it yourself, but it’s well made.

These tools require complex skills to be produced.

Each piece is maintained at a different stiffness, so turning the pieces requires precision, and manipulating the magic power is no less than that.

Every time you turn the piece, the artificial magical power waves that occur mess up the magical power that you have adjusted.

“Ahh…! It got mixed up again… ”

“No kid. Don’t rush and take it slow. Don’t be so impatient… ”

The sound of a song often heard is proof of that.

‘It’s difficult, isn’t it…’

It’s hard to solve the T-Green Puzzle quickly right now. If you slow down a bit… can you solve it all in 3 minutes?

‘… … ‘

As I was thinking about that, a thought suddenly occurred to me and Tigreen turned his gaze away.

A corner of the classroom. This is where Lee Ha-yool is sitting.

Not only Tigreen, but everyone else did the same. The cadets also glanced at Harul while concentrating on the puzzle.

Lee Ha-yul held the puzzle with both hands and remained still.

‘Didn’t you say your left arm was a prosthetic arm? You regenerated it by removing the prosthetic arm…’

Tigreen, who had been interested in the pure white water, swallowed a little regret.

‘But what are you doing?’

Instead, he tilted his head. Although only a few minutes had passed since the puzzle was handed out, Lee Ha-yool remained motionless without putting the puzzle together.

His eyes were closed, so it was difficult to guess what he was thinking.

-Tuktuk

At that moment, the interest rate showed movement.

His fingers wiggled slightly, then he touched the puzzle. He rubbed the surface as if to check the texture.

That kind of strange travel didn’t last long.

-Wooow…!

The puzzle that had been fed magic energy began to vibrate.

The surface of the puzzle turns pure white depending on the user’s magical power. The color saturation is divided according to the density of magical power.

-Click!

The puzzle shifted once. The pieces shuffled, and the colors mixed. White and gray mixed and rippled.

It was normal operation.

Tigreen swallowed hard. The laughter and rumors of a familiar professor lingered in his ears.

-Click click

The pieces were mixed a few more times. Tigreen tilted his head. Contrary to his nervousness, his behavior was quite normal.

‘…Am I overreacting?’

The progress was so calm that I thought it was a moment. Maybe I was overly tense from the beginning because the rumors were so intense.

Isn’t this the first time you’ve ever held it? Come to think of it, it hasn’t been that long, and it’s already been a while since you’ve seen it…

-Click, click, click, click, click…!

There isn’t any.

That judgment was interrupted by a loud clicking noise in my ears.

The eyes of those who were watching this rate widened.

It’s fast. The puzzle mixes together so quickly that even the afterimages stretch out.

That’s not what surprised them.

‘What is that?’

The puzzle is mixed. Naturally, magic power must be mixed. Magic power waves must burst and magic power must ripple.

… is constant. The color on the surface that is visible at first glance does not change.

This is an incorrect expression. There are definitely changes, but they are all consistent, divided by saturation, and focused on each side.

‘crazy.’

Etigo’s mouth fell open at the absurdity of the trip.

Tigrin is the one who knows the most about puzzles in this place.

I was the designer from the beginning. That’s why I knew how absurd it was to treat a puzzle like that.

-Click!

Before the initial shock could even end, the puzzle’s rotation ended first.

Tigreen, who had been blankly watching with his mouth open, blinked.

A puzzle to put down on your desk.

It’s a perfectly fitting puzzle, with each side filled with the same saturation.

Mouth-watering green glanced at the time.

‘Hasn’t even been a minute?’

The minute hand didn’t even change. My pupils shook at the absurd fact.

-How was it? Man, it was really unbelievable…

The professor’s words echoed in my head.

‘… I’m really speechless.’

That’s right. I’m speechless.

I wonder if that makes sense, but I have nothing to say since I saw it with my own eyes.

-Woof…!

-Woof…!

“Huh… ?”

As I was trying to suppress my shock, I heard the puzzle’s operating sound again.

Normal driving sound. If you are talking about the strangeness, the sound rang twice.

Tigreen, who had been shaking his head secretly, raised his head.

The place where everyone’s eyes are still focused. The corner seat where Lee Ha-yool is sitting.

In both hands he holds the puzzle from earlier.

… Beside it, another puzzle is floating. A puzzle dyed pure white.

-Click, click, click…!

-Click, click, click…!

One began to rotate in the hand, the other in the air.

At a similar speed as before.

“Crazy… ”

This time I couldn’t hold back my admiration.

T-Green, with his mouth wide open, gave rave reviews.

***

‘It seems like I’ve been trained.’

I leave the classroom with astonished looks on my face.

I wiggled my fingers to feel the sensation remaining in my hands.

‘You can make it like that in puzzle form. This definitely requires more creativity.’

New lecture. Objectively, it lacks the density and experience of the old traditional lecture.

However, new lectures were also appropriate for providing new perspectives.

It is difficult to gain enlightenment from what is familiar. The benefits of feeling and accepting something new like this will be clear.

That’s why I’ve been taking a lot of classes recently. Mainly in the production department, because I’ve been making a lot this semester.

Since it was a free semester, I was able to travel freely to many places.

‘The gift from Daerasajeo is the same… I want to make it before the three generations of the family gather.’

The three-generation family meeting. Each family had its own circumstances, so it wasn’t held right away, but it was a meeting that was eventually held.

The topic to be discussed on the spot is clear.

‘It would be good to make a gift before the meeting.’

I’m not sure if there’s anything threatening going on, but I’m hoping that things will go as well as possible.

Should I call it a kind of bribery? My true intention is to give a gift to make a better impression.

‘To do that…’

I tapped on the calculator in my head. I checked the schedule and observed that it was ample.

I immediately tapped my smartwatch.
