Armor Tech

Wallace was about to suggest his idea but suddenly remembered some things. He thought about it first before voicing his ideas.

He was asked by the headmaster to help this group of seniors on their projects. He accepted it as a favor given by Percival since he somehow appreciated the magic structure he created. So, why did the headmaster choose this task specifically for him? What do they expect from him to be able to solve his senior's predicament?

After thinking for a few moments, he deduced that the headmaster Percival or even instructor Elaine would be expecting him to provide assistance with the highly complex magic structure.

Yes, since the magic structure for Magic Jammer Canceller was already leaked, they realized how complex it was. Without his enhanced intelligence being migrated as well to his current body, he may not be able to accomplish such a task.

He looked at the pieces of metal. They could form an external framework of metallic muscles and bones that would protect the wearer and also enhance their physical prowess exponentially. It would be a huge breakthrough if he was able to help them solve the problem of operation time.

Wallace did not hesitate anymore.

Since that was what they are expecting...

"Yes, I have an idea. But I have to take a look first on the current magic structure that's being used for this armor tech."

Wallace requested this to everyone as although he had something in mind, he had to learn the current limitation of the magic structure they made and decide if he had to create something from scratch or just to improve the structure.

The group did not have a problem showing their current magic structure as they already expected it. They then waited for Wallace to study it.

After checking the structure. He started giving his ideas to have an improvement in their current magic structure. This discussion lasted until seven in the evening before they decided to call it a day.

Everyone was not expecting that with just the addition of this 2nd-year student, they would be able to resolve the issue immediately. But they clearly realized during today's brainstorming that with this student joining into their group, they would have better chances of resolving the issue.

Wallace was now lying on his bed as he was thinking of his decision a while ago of developing a magic structure.

In outer space, humans had acquired the greatest power source they could ever find. They called it Aether, it was apparently a mysterious gas-like thing that only existed in space. The only problem for that was the difficulty of containing it.

Aside from that, there was a compact thermonuclear fusion reactor that was being used by a mech frame. This was called the Ion-Sting reactor.

As Wallace had checked, this world didn't even possess a normal reactor! So nothing to say of a compact one that mech frame possessed and ultra-compact reactors for latest generation mech frames.

Wallace still wasn't quite sure why there was no nuclear power plant in this world and could only put it aside from now.

"Hmm... Even iridium energy cells as a power source could probably not be used. There should still be something I could use as an alternative if I thoroughly check this world's elements but going for a different power source will deviate the people's current path of discovery."

Wallace muttered to himself.

"That would be too much if I started it. I should let them thoroughly explore or discover the magician's pathway instead. With all those considered. Creating a magic structure should be my best option since that is what the headmaster is expecting on me as well."

He settled his mind and planned to completely develop a revolutionary magic structure that would resolve these decades of a fruitless endeavor of providing longer operation time to this armor tech. He would create something that was based on a nuclear reactor.

Wallace smiled as he fell asleep while trying to think of a name he would use once he completed this structure. Wallace Reactor? Ravencroft Mana Reactor? Mana Fusion Reactor?

On the afternoon at the Forging Garden

Although he said that he would create a new magic structure, he still required a special material to infuse that magic structure.

Wallace planned to use this material as the central location of his mana-based reactor. Not only that, but he also planned to infuse a little special magic structure on each piece of metals as well to lessen the burden of electromagnetism being used on the armor tech as well.

"I've brought it here. What's your plan on asking me to bring this thing?"

Mei opened a box containing a metallic white stone the size of a fist and placed it on the round table.

"Thank you... I'll show you later."

Their group actually worked for a week more before they completed the task. It was next Friday night when they finished their project.

"At last, the structure you made has been infused to this armor tech."

"Yes, Mei. That took us more than a week. I couldn't have done it without all your efforts."

"I'm just hoping now that once it was tested, all will be working fine."

"That's alright Neo, even if we have issues with creating physical mana based equipment, with our papers that have a solid base, we will still achieve a perfect score."

It was true as they weren't really required to realize the development theory they submitted, it was already enough to have this revolutionary magic structure that Wallace created for future development.

[ Congratulations User! You have assisted your senior to resolve their predicament!

Pathfinder will now analyze your completion rate...

You will now receive your rewards. ]

[ x2 Memory Crystal ]

[ x1 Mystery Box ]

Great! Wallace was delighted upon seeing the results of his labor. Not only was he able to develop himself as a magic engineer, but he was also able to get a reward too. He even received the bonus reward!

Wallace thought for a bit and decided to open the Mystery Box.

[ Opening... 3.. 2.. 1...

You have received 1 Bracelet of Clarity ]

Wallace was a bit disappointed since he already has a Necklace of Clarity. He checked it's description and noticed that it was actually even a bit worse than his current necklace.

[ Bracelet of Clarity

Increases the user's concentration and memory ]

It didn't even possess an increase in reaction speed and an option for ability like his necklace.

Since it was not really helpful to him, someone who had enhanced intelligence developed by the most advanced human discoveries, he thought of something instead that was bothering him.

"Can the things I'm getting from the Pathfinder be taken or consumed by other people?"

He was quite curious to try now.
