Chapter 64

Chapter 64 Strongest Sage, Leaving Everything to Others

--Several hours after the drafting .

We went to the dungeon with the partic.i.p.ants--in other words, the whole student body .

Since the dungeon isn"t that wide, I can"t see all of them from where I stand .

Well this dungeon will probably become large enough for everyone to see each other"s face during the time we"re fighting the demons later .

"Then I"ll be explaining the flow of mithril refinery . "

"Yes!"

I call out to the students using loudspeaker magic .

I"m only going to demonstrate the rough flow, the teachers will take care of the tidbits .

"First, break dungeon walls into an easy-to-treat size . "

While saying that, I used an ordinary iron pickaxe augmented with 【Brittle Fracture】 to hit and break the dungeon wall .

Unlike swords, pickaxes are specialized to break rocks and such .

It"s partly due to the fact that the dungeon walls on the first floor is soft that even an exceedingly weak augment could break them .

--It could and all, but .

"W-what the heck is that pickaxe . . . . It shaved off the dungeon wall in one hit . . . . "

"A pickaxe from the national treasures?"

"No, the weird one here isn"t the pickaxe, but the user, Mathi-kun isn"t it? If it"s Mathi-kun, I feel like he could even break dungeon walls using some random pickaxe lying around . "

It turned into this commotion just from having the dungeon wall broken .

--Un . I"ll leave them alone since explaining it each time would take all day .

I"ll leave it to the teachers to explain the details and end my duty here quick .

"This is an ordinary pickaxe . I only used a little bit of magic when it hit the dungeon wall . The bulk of this work will be taken care of by the Fourth Crest--the Disqualified Crest . "

Breaking walls by swinging swords augmented with magic will be a good training, it"s also good for training muscles . It"s an ideal basic training for the usage of Disqualified Crest .

"Next, it"s about refining--"

I told them the abridged version of the explanation I told Ruli .

Refining is mainly done by the First Crest, while the Second and Third Crests are to use heating magic .

Even if it"s mainly for the First Crest, the other crests will still have to maintain the magic right, it should be a good practice for them still .

And then I changed place with sensei once I had explained enough .

"--That is all from Mathias-kun . Everyone, do you get the mithril procurement process?"

"Sensei! I don"t get it at all!"

"I get what he"s saying, but I"m completely sure I can"t do it!"

"Was this lecture intended for people who have stopped being humans!?"

--Looks like they don"t really understand .

Rather, what does even "stop being human" mean . You think this is for demons or something .

But now that I think about it, when I told the teachers about this process the first time, they had the same expressions .

Their expressions are similar to that of students currently learning intermediate magic who suddenly get a lecture about nuclear fusion magic .

By the way, why is the figurative this concrete you ask, it"s cause I actually did that in my past life .

That was when I was 120 if I"m not mistaken . . . . Well, it was what you call youthful indiscretion .

At that time, I noticed that my lecture was too difficult, similar to what happened here .

I was thinking that If I had another chance, I would make sure to teach about nuclear fusion magic in a way anyone could understand in one try .

--Well, in the end, that was the last time I was requested to hold a lecture .

Even though I"d gone the trouble of making, 『Nuclear Fusion Magic For Dummies』 and 『Immortality Magic Handbook』 text books and all, with a chance to rear my then potential party members .

" . . . Honestly, I understand what you guys feel . I really really do . "

The teacher began to speak with a serious face in front of the students .

"Anyone would have the same reaction when they saw someone saying things like procuring mithril then proceeding to break and refine dungeon walls like it was just obvious . --However, this is real . "

The teacher picked up fragments of broken dungeon walls and used several magic .

And then he raised the completed mithril before the students .

"During the teacher meeting just now, we"ve decided upon another name for 『Mathias"s Special Lecture』! And that name is 『Common Sense Destroying Mathias"s Lecture』!"

Stop it . Please don"t pull out lame names like that without consulting me first .

At least leave out my name .

『Common Sense Destroying Lecture』 . That should be good enough .

"OOH!"

" . . . Umu . It"s a name well-suited for Mathias-kun"s cla.s.s . "

However, it seems to be well-received by the students and teachers .

. . . Un . Let"s do that .

"Alright, let"s make a break for it when we still have the chance . "

I talked to Ruli and Alma while moving with erased presence .

"OK!"

"I got it!"

I"ve told the teachers that I"ll be going to beat the demons once I"m done explaining the rough outline .

We"ll probably be back once the students have become fully-fledged--or not as I can"t exactly do that, it"s probably after they"re able to refine the mithril to some extent .

Thus, we left the dungeon and began the journey to kill the demons .

It"ll only be a three day trip at the longest if my plan goes well though .
