BXBX NOVEL Chapter 519 Perfect Score
The students were in an uproar.
What they thought was a strange and overpowered spider-type monster capable of melding with shadows was in fact a golem I made in just forty minutes.
The spider slowly crawled towards my shadows, appearing in them, and then walking into my hand.
"I call this Arachne Prototype. It is an assassination, and stealth based golem." I smiled back at Hellburn and the rest of the students.
"A-Assassination…"
"And stealth?"
"I never thought… golems could be used for such sneaky ways…"
"When they move they usually make a lot of sounds, but this one didn\'t made any at all!"
"J-Just how did he imbue such powerful shadow magic?"
Hellburn looked at me with a smile.
"Fascinating! We\'ve been trying to make things like that, but we\'ve always failed. Golems are often very heavy and make sounds very easily, shadow and dark magic is also not our specialty… and above all, such sleek design! Is this something that could only be conceived through your unique abilities as a Synthesist?" Asked the dwarf.
"Sort of. I\'ve transcribed my own runes and rearranged the circuits alongside merging several materials through Synthesis. I\'ve also imbued it some shadow properties by using Shadow Spirit Stone dust and merging it over the golem\'s surface. It was able to develop the Shadow Sneak Spell through the runes I imbued into its core in the form of a complex magic circle." I said proudly.
"I-Incredible…!" Hellburn congratulated me. "All three of you get perfect scores! I couldn\'t had expected less from this talented trio! All the rest of you did well as well, you\'re all with great grades too! However, in this class I want everyone to be competitive. If you don\'t want to be beaten again, train harder and study new combinations of materials and the like!" Hellburn incentivized the rest of the students.
"Can we keep our golems?" I asked him.
"Yeah, yeah, you\'ll need your own golems for the rest of our classes after all. I want you all to keep making new ones in each class, alongside improving on your existing ones too. Even in your free time you can come to this classroom to borrow materials and make golems." Said Hellburn.
"Eh? Really?!"
"Thanks a lot teacher!"
"With this I can make anything I want!"
"So cool!"
"It is a little investment for the future of this country and the world itself, your brilliant minds might one day bring a great change upon our battle against the demons. I am counting on all of you." Hellburn seemed to always talk about how we could change the world with our imagination and talents. He was such a man.
I was left rather happy as I gained a new Magic Tool Golem prototype, the first one I\'ve ever made in this world which I\'ve simply named Arachne. This little fellow is only the first of many I will continue to make.
Not only I need weapons and powerful equipment and accessories, but these types of gadgets will also always come in handy. Combining them with my summons will greatly improve my possibilities of growing stronger and also fight against many odds.
While additionally, being able to find those lurking in the shadows behind us…
As we walked outside the classroom, Eric and Alberta couldn\'t stop talking about the classes.
"It was so much fun!" Alberta smiled.
"Yeah, it was great." Eric smiled. "Come to think of it, Blake, that golem you made looks amazing! Are you improving on it some more later?"
"I have yet to fully perfect it though, I will add normal thread as well as adhesive thread, and also paralyzing venom." I smiled evilly.
"V-Venom?" Alberta was a bit surprised.
"Don\'t worry, I am only using it on bad people or monsters and demons." I said to reassure her, although that only made her more nervous.
"A-Ahahah, that\'s how he is. Don\'t worry, he\'s actually a nice guy." Eric told her.
"I-I see…" Alberta sighed. "Though it sometimes feels he\'s a bit… in another place."
"He\'s always thinking several steps ahead so it feels like he has a cunning mind." Eric nodded.
"Hey you two, do you think I am not hearing you?" I sighed.
"Ahaha, sorry about that, she\'s new so I gotta give her a roundabout." Laughed Eric.
"S-Sorry for asking…" Alberta apologized.
"Ah, well, don\'t worry." I quickly decided to talk with Eleanora and my other spirits while we walked to the cafeteria to meet with everyone else.
However, before that, I heard Eric and Alberta talking with one another happily.
"Your golem was great, Alberta. You think you can bring it to dungeons?" Asked Eric.
"I-I sure can!" Alberta said. "W-With it and my hammer spirit, I think I can improve very quickly and also enchant or repair your equipment on the spot."
"That\'s amazing useful." Eric said.
"H-However, it doesn\'t really compare to yours, Eric. Your golem can produce food, and even purify surroundings." Said Alberta.
"I think I can set it up to generate spiritual energy, mana, or even heal a bit." Said Eric.
"W-Woah, like a portable automatic healing accessory?" Wondered Alberta.
"Yeah, something like that!" Eric nodded. "Though, I am still going to improve on them, I wanted to… gift this one to you."
"E-Eh?!" Alberta was surprised.
"Yeah, as a proof of our friendship… or something." Eric felt slightly shy. "So take it. It\'s easy to use, you can imbue your mana and it will begin working as intended. Simply will it and its basic functions can be used."
Eric handled the golem to Alberta, which had the shape of a flower too.
Ah, I see what he was doing there.
Everything makes sense.
I can see why it had such a shape now…
"F-For me?" Alberta blushed, getting all red. However, she shyly grabbed the golem. "T-This is amazing! I\'ll make sure to use it well and inspect it too. T-There\'s much I can learn from it."
I guess these two are getting along pretty well.
