Chapter 309: Alchemy and Puppets
Chapter 304 – Alchemy and Puppets
There were many professions in Academy City, most of them had specialized teaching points, especially the popular ones, there was a complete complex to accommodate the many sub-specialties with the students, but unfortunately, the Puppeteer was not in contention.
Not only does it belong to the branch of the alchemy department of magic statue, the upper limit is also low, but all the students with some strength and potential will not choose this profession, so you can imagine how the status is, located in the edge of the entire complex, not to mention, it is also a very old and lack of care of the building, if not to say, it is hard to believe that this building whose doors and windows are almost crawling with vines is a puppet classroom.
Owen didn’t go directly to the puppet classroom, but let the older sister lead him to the Alchemy Department, after all, in his plan, after mastering the Academy City’s puppetry, he would go to learn the magic statue and alchemy.
Hearing Owen’s request, the school sister’s expression changed slightly, but seeing Owen, whose entire person was glowing like he was glowing, a heart was placed in her stomach again.
When he came to the Alchemy Department, Owen realized where his sister’s nervousness came from.
Alchemy is very large, very high-end, but also very profitable a department, every year will attract a large number of students to come, the school sister was attracted by the money of alchemy, only determined to put into the alchemy of this big pit, and then found that you need to use the money cushion feet climb out of the pit in order to see the threshold, and want to cross the threshold to ascend to the peak, there is no gold mountain and silver sea door are not.
It can be said that every qualified alchemist has to consume gold equal to its own volume, not to mention the ordinary students, even if it is a noble student, investing so much will also be heartbreaking.
Of course, it’s not that the commoner trainees don’t have any chance at all, as long as they show enough talent, there are people who are willing to invest money.
Only the money is good to take, but not good to return, because the money invested is not to take the money can be returned.
Like the school sister such talent is not obvious, the appearance is not outstanding, even if you go out of the way, no one is willing to fund, really think that the rich are fools, see a woman can not walk, really so simple, the money has long been someone else.
Thinking of these, Owen walked and looked, and the school sister followed closely behind, just like a maid.
The biggest characteristic of the Alchemy Department is that everywhere is full of traces of alchemy, from the mobile levitation staircase between the buildings, to the automatic waterer in the flower beds, all are alchemy products, there are also tall magical statues placed all around, from the magic power fluctuations contained, it is obvious that it is not a look-alike product.
And the biggest characteristic of the alchemy department trainees is arrogance, no matter if it is a noble trainee with a full set of alchemy equipment, or a shabby trainee holding a stack of books, the eyes are looking down at people.
This is all customary, because every day there are other departments of the trainees door to door to buy alchemy equipment, and even willing to pay a lot of money tailor-made, perennial so, alchemy department trainees do not arrogance is strange.
However, the arrogance should also depend on the object, like Owen, wherever the focus, even the side of the sister followed the light, no one scolded or cast a disgusting gaze, so that she is a little bit unaccustomed to.
Materials, runes, synthesis, construction, a room that is said to be a classroom is more like a laboratory, so Owen couldn’t help but marvel at the Alchemy Department’s wealth and generosity.
Although the Alchemy Department was good, it was only good, Owen was now more concerned about the puppets, so he stopped and said to his senior sister.
“Let’s go, we’ll see it next time.”
“Okay.” The school sister hurriedly nodded, obviously staying here made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Stepping into the remote path, at the end of which was the puppet classroom, when she saw the green puppet teaching building, the school sister immediately sighed in relief, skillfully dodging the drooping vine leaves to open the door and walk in.
Because of his ancient bloodline, Owen didn’t hate plants, but seeing the thick layer of plants covering the outer wall of the teaching building, it was still a bit too much to accept, and he could only comfort himself that he couldn’t just look at the surface.
As a result, after going in, he realized that the shabbiness of the place was not pretending at all, there were neither a variety of organs nor exquisite puppets inside, except for the decoration that was comparable to that of a ghostly ancient castle, there were only low-pressure trainees who fiddled with hand-me-downs with their heads down. Compared to the arrogant Alchemy Department trainees, most of the Golem Department trainees acted very low-key and introverted, mostly indulging in their own world, even if this world was small and barren.
Sister obviously not the first time to come, she brought Owen to a classroom, the people are really few, even the classroom that can only accommodate fifty people are not enough to sit in, and all of them are full of otaku, even if the class is about to start they are still fiddling with the hand puppets in their hands.
Owen frowned, but still found an empty seat and sat down, and the school sister sat beside him, at the same time also pulled out a hand puppet from the bag.
Owen then realized that it wasn’t a hand puppet, but a puppet.
Of course, the size of a proper puppet would not be so small, but it was not necessary to give the trainees practice to be so wasteful, making it two palm-sized would be almost the same, in this way, the material of two or three normal puppets would be enough to let all the trainees use it in one class, greatly reducing the cost.
Just then, the teacher came.
Owen saw this type of teacher for the first time, obviously a beautiful woman with a good face value, but she had drastically remodeled her body, although it was only limited to the left half of her body, but from the fact that half of her skull had been replaced with metal, one could tell that her remodeling of her body had already involved her brain, so the mechanical eyes, mechanical arms, mechanical legs, and the fan that was humming under the metal ribs, were no longer considered to be anything.
However, it was obvious that something had gone wrong with her remodeling, her expression was stiff, her movements were somewhat uncoordinated, and even her voice had a hoarse metallic sound, which, when paired with this classroom filled with a sense of obsolescence, was like pulling a trainee up on stage to perform a vivisection from time to time.
Although Owen did not like the human body modification technology, but because of the relationship between the Star Warrior program also have quite a study, but the main person in charge is Brian, the transformation of this self is called in place, just short of the mechanical ascension, so he is very interested in this puppetry teacher named Carla.
In fact, Kara was also very interested in Owen, after all, surrounded by a bunch of low-pressure otaku trainees, he was as impossible to ignore as a flashing light, especially the exuberant life essence, which enlivened her near-dry core for a few moments.
Kara inserted the prepared lesson into the classroom’s projection crystal ball, cycling through the main points of the lesson and then letting the trainees do their handiwork as they were told, only speaking up when answering questions, and of course, don’t expect much of an answer if the questions posed are too stupid.
Compared to the schoolmate who was familiar with the subject and started to do it, Owen’s attention shifted to the projected textbook.
The constantly looping clips showed all the key points of the lesson, and Owen compared these with the system he had mastered, and realized that it was still his own system that was more detailed.
Of course, the textbooks in the classroom couldn’t be the real top techniques in Academy City, but the foundation was common, and with Owen’s eyesight he could see the advantages and disadvantages of both sides.
Although it wasn’t as good as the puppet system he had mastered, it didn’t mean that Academy City’s puppet technology didn’t have any redeeming qualities, so Owen looked at it very carefully.
While Owen was looking at the teaching materials, he didn’t know that he had also become the target of the crowd’s observation, because he was just too good looking, even if he wore a pair of wide glasses in order to cover his face value, it still made him as glowing as attracting eyeballs.
That is, most of the students in the puppet department are shy, otherwise, they would have surrounded Owen to move their hands, such as kissing and hugging and lifting high and so on, if they can be abducted and fed lollipops, it would be even better, the male students are excited, okay.
Owen’s face value has transcended gender, coupled with the appearance of less than ten years old, gender is not very obvious, naturally attracted a group of male trainees.
Luckily, with Carla, the Terminator model teacher, even if they were no longer stupid, no one dared to really pay action.
