Chapter Index

    In front of the professor building after the interview.

    Agnes said.

    “Deltain was bad.”

    “What.”

    “Marquis, I saw you crying on the way out.”

    “I should have accepted it.”

    Deltan snorted.

    Even if you put a valuable item on the line, if you tried to use the other person as a means of making money, wouldn’t it be right to pay the price?

    “It’s a blessing to be self-employed.”

    “Hmm… .”

    Agnes snorted and turned her head.

    What you see is the panoramic view of the academy.

    “Are you going right away?”

    “No, I’m going straight to the Magic Engineering Building.”

    “Huh?”

    “Because I decided to fix the curriculum. I should go there and check how the education is going now.”

    It’s something you do with your name on it.

    To put it roughly, it will tarnish the name of Hebron, the Delta.

    Deltan didn’t want anything that would damage his pride.

    “Eggplant.”

    So I started walking.

    It’s about a 10-minute walk from the professor building to the Mado Engineering building.

    There were numerous buildings and students coming and going between them, and they all made surprised faces when they saw Deltan and Agnes.

    That was the conversation I heard infrequently.

    -Count Hebron?

    -The person next to me… ha… .

    -It’s Princess Levadeine! I saw you at a banquet before! Be beautiful… .

    There was so much excitement that I could hear it even if I had bad ears.

    Moreover, the amount of attention was so intense that it made you wonder, ‘This much?’ It was impossible for the two of them to not notice that sign.

    Agnes said, giggling.

    “There’s a lot of interest.”

    “Of course. Because it’s me.”

    “I don’t think it’s necessarily because of you.”

    “Do you want to compete to see who gets more attention?”

    “It’s not like that.”

    Agnes’ eyes glanced around her surroundings.

    There were people who whined and blushed when they made eye contact with me.

    It was a reaction regardless of men and women.

    Agnes was confident about her own appearance, so she was annoyed by that reaction, but there was something that bothered her.

    A gaze directed not at oneself but toward Deltans.

    For some reason, there were a few women with familiar faces.

    ‘Noble family?’

    They were supposed to be young children.

    His face was probably familiar to me because I had only briefly seen him at a banquet.

    The reason for the gaze towards Deltans was obvious.

    He was one of the best grooms not only in this empire but in the entire continent.

    Agnes glanced at the Deltan’s expression.

    They didn’t seem particularly interested, but I still felt bad.

    She was a very possessive person.

    chin-

    Agnes wrapped her arms around Deltan.

    “What is it?”

    “Difficult to walk. I want to lean on you.”

    With that said, Agnes stuck to the Deltan.

    An excited scream of ‘Kyaaak!’ was heard from somewhere.

    Deltan wrinkled his expression and clicked his tongue.

    “You have a really shabby body.”

    “But you still walked for 5 minutes. I think it deserves praise.”

    “I should be praised for making you walk for 5 minutes.”

    “Good job, smart Deltan.”

    “I don’t need your praise.”

    Although Deltan spoke bluntly, he opened his arms to make it easier for her to lean on them.

    Agnes smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder.

    “Shy.”

    “Shut up.”

    When we arrived at the teaching building, Deltan’s face was frowning at Agnes’s pun.

    “Meet the Count of Hebron and Princess Levadein!”

    The person who came out to meet them was a middle-aged man with half a bald head.

    He was a professor at the Department of Magical Engineering.

    Former wizard Elias Foren.

    When the Deltans presented the concept of magic engineering, he was so enamored with it that he gave up his work and came here, a serious ‘Hebron believer.’

    Deltan’s face became a little uncomfortable as he looked at the envious look from the octopus-headed middle-aged man.

    ‘This is why I didn’t want to hear you.’

    A man I met several times.

    Every time I saw him, he would wag his tail like a puppy, making conversation uncomfortable.

    This was despite the fact that Deltans tend to enjoy compliments directed at themselves.

    “I don’t know how to thank you for coming here! I’ve been anxious since last night, wondering if anyone would stop by because of the rumor that he was visiting the Academy… !”

    Deltan’s lips were tightly pursed at the sight of Elias, who was even crying.

    Meanwhile, Elias continued chattering.

    To Agnes, it looked just like a child bragging to his mother about what he had played with today.

    “I overturned the curriculum just as the Count told me! Thanks to this, students’ understanding of mechanical devices has greatly improved, and their application to power engines has increased significantly! That’s not all! The ‘hot air balloon’ method you gave as a guideline is now so well-known that even third-year students can make it!”

    It has been two years since the Department of Magical Engineering was established.

    Elias constantly poured out his achievements so far to Deltan.

    Deltan held up his hands, thinking that there would be no end to it if things continued like this.

    Then Elias stopped as if he had been struck by a petrification spell.

    Even my breathing stopped.

    “Just take a breath.”

    “Whoa… !”

    “Can I first tell you why you came here?”

    “Yes! Please order!”

    By the way, the choice of words is really strange.

    Deltan said, clearing away the thoughts that came to mind.

    “During the conversation with the Dean, there was something about the School of Magical Engineering. Somehow, I ended up revisiting the curriculum here.”

    “Heo Eok… !”

    Elias took a deep breath.

    Then she began to shed tears, and soon trembled and fainted.

    dump-

    Agnes said as she looked at Elias who had fallen on the floor.

    “You’re a fun person.”

    He looked like a clown.

    *

    It took time to organize.

    I had to stop Elias, who had woken up again, from pouring out his emotions in excitement, and I had to stop him from fainting when he said he would attend the lecture to improve the curriculum.

    “Cha, observation! How glorious!!!”

    “Do you have any classes scheduled today?”

    “Of course! Today is the day we have four classes! All lectures except lunch time are fully booked! It’s Magical Engineering Day!”

    Well, maybe it’s bomb day for students.

    Deltain reflected on the sentiments he remembered while watching the Thursday lectures that filled his schedule during his college days.

    After all, there are only 4 majors in classes.

    Could it be more terrible than this?

    ‘… ‘It’s none of my business.’

    Deltan shook off his thoughts.

    This is actually a good thing since I am not a student who needs credits.

    The fact that the lectures were concentrated meant that there was no need to divide the work over several times.

    “Then let’s go to the lecture right away.”

    “Yes!”

    Elias answered loudly.

    *

    The first lecture was [Introduction to Magic Circuits].

    The alpha and omega of magic engineering.

    It was an important lecture that could easily be called the core of the core, and from a Deltan’s perspective, it was the lecture that I wanted to check first.

    ‘If the circuit design is distorted, the machine won’t work.’

    I will revise this lecture to focus on it more than anything else.

    While sitting in the lecture room and thinking about such thoughts, Elias, the professor in charge of Introduction to Circuits, opened the door and came in late.

    And I smiled happily as I looked at Deltan and Agnes sitting in the very back seats.

    “Now, a special guest has come to today’s lecture.”

    The students’ eyes were still focused on the front.

    However, all their attention was focused on Deltan and Agnes.

    The students were not good at hiding their emotions to the point where it could be felt.

    “He is the Deltan Count Hebron, who created magic engineering! Starting today, you will be attending a few lectures and reviewing the curriculum yourself! everyone! Everyone applaud!”

    Clap clap clap!

    Elias clapped like crazy.

    It was as if this was what a fanatic who had seen God would look like.

    It was too burdensome to put into words, but the students were calm.

    After all, Professor Elias Foren was a believer who often referred to him as ‘Count Hebron, the Delta’ dozens of times during his lectures.

    “Big, big! Then let’s begin the lecture!”

    Elias smiled brightly and picked up the chalk.

    Only then did Deltan shake off the burden in his eyes and begin to focus on the lecture.

    Just 5 minutes after starting.

    Talk-

    Agnes, who was sitting next to him, poked Deltan’s thigh under the desk.

    One arm was resting on his chin, and a smile was on his lips.

    Deltan furrowed his brows and whispered softly.

    “What is it?”

    “I wanted to try this.”

    Since the back of the head is rounded, the chin and nape line are visible.

    As the Deltan’s eyes were drawn to that place for a brief moment, Agnes continued.

    “Bad pranks during class.”

    Cock.

    This time, I stabbed Deltan’s thigh with my index finger.

    Then, I moved it all the way up and swept it up to my pelvis.

    Deltan’s body tensed for a moment.

    The breath was short, and Agnes’ eye smile deepened.

    “The professor looks this way.”

    As Agnes said, Elias’ pupils trembled as if an earthquake had occurred when the Deltan stopped breathing.

    It seemed like he felt uncomfortable because he had done something wrong.

    Deltan shook his head as if it was nothing, then gestured with his chin to tell them to continue the class.

    “I’m working, so don’t mess around.”

    I told Agnes so early.

    But when was Agnes a gentle woman who didn’t do something when she was told not to?

    Her playfulness continued for less than three minutes.

    Tuk-

    Agnes, who had already taken off her shoes, tickled Deltan’s pelvic bone with her big toe.

    Although he was a Delta person who was not prone to tickling, he was surprised by the sudden attack.

    Deltan’s breath stopped again.

    Although Agnes frowned grimly, she simply scribbled in the notebook that Deltan had left open for her to take notes.

    -Are you tickled?

    Deltan put pressure on the pen he was holding and wrote down the answer.

    -at all.

    -It looks ticklish.

    -Don’t be a jerk.

    -Then can I do it until it tickles?

    -Throw it away.

    -Abandonment is bad.

    -Abandonment is something you do when you throw away something you raised. I never raised you.

    -I thought you were the master.

    Startle-

    Deltan’s fingertips trembled.

    Agnes then laughed and wrote again underneath it.

    -Woof woof.

    Deltan’s lips pursed.

    “Therefore, the nature of the horsepower candle used is the most important factor in circuit design. This is why we have herbalism in our classes. Let’s take an example. Polovaran is selected by our academy once a year. It has the characteristics of the circulatory system. Using this in a circuit adds a characteristic called ‘circulation’ to the machine. By absorbing mana from the natural world, you replenish your power and increase your staying power.”

    Elias’ explanation continues.

    “I have been requesting Polovaran research since the year before last to demonstrate it to you all, but seeing as it has not been done yet, I guess the Dean is not very happy with me.”

    The students giggle at his joke.

    Meanwhile, Deltan could hardly concentrate.

    -A bad delta person who smokes a lot.

    -Don’t you think that the reason you are interfering is the reason?

    -A hero is someone who achieves victory despite any adversity, right? I think the warrior Deltan must overcome.

    -Sounds that don’t even sound like words.

    -go for it.

    Agnes smiled long and hard.

    -If you work hard, your reward is a princess!

    I wrote something that wasn’t even funny.

    -Of course, the princess is me.

    There was a temptation that wasn’t even funny.
