A Reincarnated Professor at the Constellation Academy

chapter 39



Choose your major (1)

Time passed and the day came when the midterm results were announced.

Helios classifies grades as personal information, but the top 50 grades are publicly posted on a bulletin board.

In other words, the people who posted their names on the bulletin board were the best prospects in the first year, and students as well as professors were waiting for the announcement to see the protagonists.

“Who do you think will be number one this time?”

“Of course it must be Estelle. It’s the famous Altair.”

“I’m more curious about the 2nd and 3rd places.”

Amidst the buzzing voices filling the surroundings, Estelle raised her head and stared at the bulletin board.

Normally, I wouldn’t even come to see it.

After all, you’re the one who comes in first place, and it’s obvious that if you come, you’ll come after hearing a lot of candy from the professors.

But this time was different.

I’ve been waiting for today for several days, and I couldn’t sleep the night before.

In the end, I stayed up all night with my eyes open, and after dozing off all morning, I ran to the bulletin board whenever it was time to present.

so unusual.

Estelle was looking forward to the results of this test.

Flash!

The bulletin board lit up.

Estelle’s eyes lit up when she found her name in the grades column that was announced one after another.

[1st place – Estelle von Shearan Altair]

also the highest

But it’s not just the rankings she wants to see.

Estelle lowered her eyes and looked for Mathematics in the scores for each subject.

[Great Mathematics – 100/100][Rating: A+ ]

“···Cheer up.”

Rated A+ on a perfect score.

Estelle smiled involuntarily and hopped in place.

“Hey, guys, wait a minute… I’ll pass by…!”

At that time, Cynthia broke through the crowd and stopped next to Estelle.

When Cynthia saw the wide-eyed Estelle, she greeted her in shock.

“Eh, hello Estelle!”

“hi.”

Even after stinging at the indifferent response, Cynthia, remembering her original purpose, hurriedly checked the bulletin board.

And when she checked the score, her eyes widened.

[2nd place – Cynthia Westerlund]

“done···!”

2nd place. It is right below Estelle.

It must be regrettable, but Cynthia clenched her fists and jumped in her seat, as if she was satisfied with second place.

“The second place is Cynthia.”

“Cynthia? What… She deserves second place.”

“Well, if it’s Cynthia, you can do that…”

The students tended to accept Cynthia’s score as if it were so.

Her study volume and diligence were such that even the students stuck out their tongues, and no one doubted Cynthia’s score.

When Cynthia was purely enjoying her joy, Estelle finished her errands and left the bulletin board without any regrets.

Some professors caught her in the middle, but Estelle ignored her and walked away.

It must have been that they were trying to ask them to pick themselves out of the selection of majors.

“Major···.”

The most important event for first graders.

In fact, it is an event that many students struggle with, as it is an event that will determine the life of Helios in the future.

However, Estelle has already decided on a major to enter.

Great Mathematics.

Estelle Fischer A subject with Professor Yujin Kang, ‘the greatest genius of Helios’.

Besides, wasn’t it not too long ago that he was even recognized in the academic world for his thesis on ‘circle multi-parameterization’?

Estelle took out a Veritas journal from her bag.

The cover was decorated with Kang Yoo-jin’s thesis, along with a picture of a gun and a cane with circles wrapped around it.

A journal cover is an honor given to the best papers.

The examiners judged Kang Yoo-jin’s thesis to be the best among the contributed papers, and Estelle’s was the same.

Not only did I read the contents, but I also went to Yujin Kang’s thesis presentation.

No wonder. It is Altair who endorsed his thesis, but there is no reason not to look at it.

Even though she couldn’t meet Yujin Kang in person, Estelle, who understood all the announcements that day, could see and feel the genius Kang Yujin possessed.

‘The only thing that suits me is Professor Lee.’

Sooner or later, this fact will spread among students.

However, Estelle herself was the fastest.

The person who recognizes Kang Yoo-jin’s value the fastest is, after all, himself.

She clutched at the journal and smiled triumphantly.

“Then apply…”

“Hey, over there! Estelle!”

At that time, Cynthia, who followed, called Estelle.

“Why? Baepsae.”

“Bap… uhm. Have you decided what you’re going to major in?”

“I’ll do it with great magic.”

Estelle responded immediately without hesitation.

Unlike general lectures, major selection has a limited number of students.

When the quota is full, students are sorted in order of grades, so most of them hide their choices until the announcement.

However, Este’s grades were first in the grade.

There was no need to hide your choices.

“I see… Because of Professor Yujin Kang…?”

“Of course.”

It was an immediate answer this time.

Estelle’s narrowed gaze turned to Cynthia.

“Are you also a master of magic?”

“yes···.”

“Huh…”

Estelle looked at Cynthia with glaring eyes.

“Take care.”

“Ugh, ugh.”

Watching Estelle’s back as she left, Cynthia squeezed her skirt tightly.

I was envious of his confident appearance.

However, there were emotions that preceded that.

“…I can learn better, too.”

An unexplained feeling.

Cynthia ran to the department room with the feelings she didn’t know about yet.

I wanted to be number one in the application process.

To the west of Helios, there is a building called the Research Building.

The official name is ‘Pleiades Hall’.

In terms of the district, this is where the professor’s lab is located, so students often call it ‘Ant Hell’ rather than its name.

The reason is that once you go in, you can’t come out.

Today, I visited this place to see the lab room assigned to me, that is, the laboratory.

At Helios, there is a system that allocates a school laboratory based on a professor’s performance, and I applied for it a few weeks ago.

However, I was pending during the evaluation because I did not have any particular track record, but I was finally assigned a laboratory in recognition of my role as a safety supervisor in this midterm exam and my paper published in Veritas.

“This is the lab assigned to Professor Yujin Kang.”

A faculty member who followed as a guide pointed out the large laboratory and introduced it.

“This is one of the top three research labs in the Pleiades. It seems that the Senate highly valued the professor.”

“okay.”

“hahahaha. The benefits are just as good, so I hope you do a good research.”

The faculty left, and I looked at the lab, which was still empty.

It’s cold, but if you put in the necessary equipment and furniture, it will be quite reasonable.

In the future, this will be a place where I study my ideas and test their practicality.

The purpose is, of course, education and training.

It is to develop skills that will allow students to kill more demons in the future, even if it is just one.

I already have a few ideas, so I can start researching right away.

For now, I plan to combine the ‘Rotation Body Kit’ with my new equipment.

Both are in the end of R&D.

Since I entrusted the blueprint sample to Lana, I plan to fill this place with necessary equipment until she arrives.

“First of all, should I apply for a budget… and make a list of necessary equipment and research materials and submit it?”

After that, you have to do the groundwork to run the lab.

It is necessary to bring in researchers who will become manpower and create a working environment.

. . . There is a mountain of work.

“…I really need to pick an assistant.”

There is too much work to do alone.

Up until now, I’ve managed to deal with it alone, but now it’s getting out of hand.

Time is already tight for general lectures, personal training, and work both inside and outside the school.

If you add lectures in your major and lab activities, 24 hours a day is really not enough.

“I don’t know if anyone will support me.”

I took out the assistant recruitment notice I had written in advance from my inside pocket and listened.

Although there is only one person to choose, Mathematics has been a special department without a graduate school so far, and I don’t know what the graduates of this subject are doing.

The older students…probably most of them are active on the frontlines, so they probably don’t have time.

To be honest, I don’t know if anyone will support me.

“Huh? Pick a teaching assistant?”

Skadi came out at some point and poked her head through the announcement.

“Dear? Only pick one person? Why don’t you pick at least 5 people?”

“You don’t need that many. In fact, I don’t know if there will be anyone who will apply for the announcement.”

Unlike the former Daema Mathematics department, the teaching curriculum is completely different.

When a teaching assistant comes, you have to learn all the contents of the class and related tasks from the beginning.

In addition, I, the professor in charge, recently published a thesis, but there is only one, so the performance is not enough.

From my point of view, the current Grand Mathematics was not a very attractive department to be a teaching assistant.

“OMG···.”

“why.”

“No… I want to do all the weird worries.”

Skadi, who had a strange expression on her face, snatched the announcement from my hand.

“This, even if it’s just a bet, people who want to apply will line up from the Capella hall to the front door?

I bet you.”

“It’s comforting.”

“No, it’s true.”

I hope so.

I don’t want to give it to you, but I hope that even one person will support it.

Gunsmith Blue Rose.

The only gun shop in the corner of Rhodes was filled with the smell of greasy oil.

click click-

The sound of loosening and tightening parts is everywhere.

The thick smell of lubricant stung my nose, and messy tools rolled around on the floor.

“Umm… It’s not always easy.”

Beside her, there were piles of blueprints he had ordered, including the ‘rotating body kit’.

The production difficulty was so high that it was incomparable to the previous one, and I had been struggling to reproduce the blueprint for several days.

“It’s easy in terms of structure, but it’s not easy because the magical organs are mixed.”

The rotating body kit is worth making.

The structure itself is simple, so it has already been completed.

the problem is next. The remaining blueprints were left behind by Yujin Kang.

There are more than 10 blueprints and 5 rotating body kits applied.

In fact, it was almost plastered with magical organs, and Lana looked at it with troubled eyes.

A gun that rotates six projectiles in a huge gun body like an engine.

The weapon drawn in the blueprint was none other than a heavy weapon called the ‘Gatling Gun’.

“This is a whole mixed river, with magic stamps and… is this a formula? Ah, I’m in the middle of the day…”

If you’re just making a gatling gun, that’s no problem.

However, the story is different if the material is famous for being difficult to handle.

Moreover, the form used was not rune words, but numbers and symbols.

Lana also learned math in elementary and middle school, but in other words, that was all, just looking at the numbers made my head dizzy.

“But… when it’s finished, it’ll be a real masterpiece.”

It goes without saying that there is no mana sensitivity because it is a whole mixed river, and a rotating body kit was applied to the 6-rotation barrel and the ammunition feeding device that inserts the bullet.

Unlike a revolver that has only one chamber, this revolver has six barrels and internal organs.

There were as many as 6 organs that could contain circles, and even all of them were connected in series through magic imprinting.

It is serial, not parallel.

So, unlike parallel, which has a strong output enhancement character, serial affects the ‘hierarchy’ of the circle.

If you add up all the forces of the circles created inside the gun, it basically equals 2 circles.

In other words, if a wizard uses this, it means that he can use magic two levels higher than his own circle.

And that, to the point where it is possible to shoot wildly with magic bullets!

“What kind of monster am I creating…”

It was so burdensome that I tried to refuse it at first.

So I made a big heart and called, but the answer that came back was this.

‘I’ll give you more money.’

‘It’s a matter of money…’

‘How about 100,000 shillings?’

‘It’s possible.’

It was too much money to refuse out of conscience.

Well… since they selected me as their first father-in-law, you can just assume that I’m expressing my sincerity…

yeah that’s it

Fortunately, Yujin Kang’s blueprint is so good that there is no problem in making it.

So, with the shop closed, he was concentrating on making the Gatling gun.

When you finish this, what will you name it?

Demon Destroyer? Do you spray?

Anyway, I’m going to do it with a strong name.
