Immortals From My Past Life Are Still Obsessed With the Reincarnated Me - Chapter 53



53 – Engineering Class (5)

‘An airship is an airship.’

So how do you quiz with that?

Looking at the picture of the magical airship reflected on the screen, I tilted my head.

Professor Winston, probably judging that most of the students were looking forward to the quiz, revealed the question with confidence.

“Okay then, the quiz starts now. As I said before, do you have any products? So I hope you all pay attention and guess!”

This is true to say, but after all Winston was a beginner as a professor.

A pattern often seen in typical novice teachers. Giving physical rewards to increase student participation during class.

Most of the students who applied for the magic engineering lecture were really curious about this class, so there is no need to do this…….

“Ohhh, is that an airship?!”

“If you are the prince, you must have ridden something like that, right?”

“Umm, it’s a pity, but it hasn’t happened since I grew up. I had it when I was little, but I don’t remember it well… In fact, there was nothing to go far enough to go by airship. Cornette, how are you?”

“I wonder if there was anything like that in the desert. There’s no way.”

“Ha ha ha ha! I guess so! By the way, there is even a reward, so I really want to hit it, but what should I do? You must remember your childhood memories!”

Ah, come to think of it, my kids were there.

All of the students in the special class, except for Guinness, did not come because they were interested in the class itself, but because they came at the request of a friend.

So, Joseph and Cornet seemed to be interested in quizzes and rewards.

Yuzu didn’t seem interested in either of them, and Charlotte seemed to be trying to match since she’s been on an airship like me.

“Okay, it’s a quiz! What does the basic circuit of this magical airship look like? The first person to draw is the owner of the product!”

Professor Winston, who raised the issue with great vigor.

However, contrary to his expectations, the students’ reactions were apathetic.

“…… Circuit?”

As soon as the quiz came out, Cornette was the first to frown.

“The basic device of magic engineering… should I say Should I call it a part? It’s like an essential element to make a device out of various materials and endow the finished product with magical abilities. Its full name is Magic Engineering Circuit.”

Cornet looked at Guinness with a look that seemed to be asking for an explanation.

Gwyneth diligently passed on what she knew, but like her cornet, her expression was not as good.

That’s exactly what Cornette pointed out in her voice.

“However, we haven’t properly learned to do magic circuits or something yet. You don’t know because we came in from the third class?”

“That’s not going to happen. I didn’t learn about the engineering circuit in detail in the first and second classes…….”

“What, then. Even I’m seeing that airship for the first time since I was born. How are you supposed to match the magic engineering circuit of the airship?”

“The problem is a bit difficult… ….”

The reaction of Cornet and Guinness was not unusual either.

This is because the reactions of other students were not very different.

It was something Guinness had already mentioned, but it wasn’t just the newly joined special class students who couldn’t understand it.

The students who came because they wanted to take the engineering class didn’t make much progress yet, so a quiz that was too difficult came out of the blue.

“Um, uh… Is it too difficult? Everyone?”

“Yes… ….”

Winston’s worried question.

Even Guinness nodded honestly.

Ask for the structure of a magical circuit in a magical product is like showing only one sword and asking what kind of mold the blacksmith used to smelt the sword.

How could a novice blacksmith look at a finished sword and trace back there? Magic engineering was no different.

No matter how much I was interested in magic engineering, this was a very difficult problem.

Even Guinness, who was burning with enthusiasm, couldn’t give an answer.

“Uh, should I lower the difficulty a bit? But what follows… Well, or even if you draw it roughly, to the student who drew the most similarly….”

“Professor. Excuse me, but we don’t even know what a magic circuit looks like, so how are you supposed to draw it?”

Cornet, a boy who raises his hand anytime, anywhere and never stops asking questions.

Befitting a man who took the lead in the ordeal of fear when he entered school and asked the guardian spirits of the terrifying lion statue, he raised his hand this time as well.

‘It’s nice that they’re consistent.’

By the way, Professor Winston, who literally received the new student’s ‘excuse question’, stiffened in an instant.

Unable to open his mouth properly, he stopped and turned into a stone.

As if he had never imagined that he would be asked such a question by a cornet.

After waiting for a while, Cornette got the answer he expected.

“That’s right. It’s not a magic circuit, it’s a magic engineering circuit, but… Come to think of it, there must be a lot of students who don’t know. Hmm, hahahaha. Then skip this quiz and get the prizes from the next quiz…….”

Professor Winston’s self-esteem was extremely low yesterday.

I happened to meet him in the hospital room and raised his self-esteem with a casual conversation, but it all seemed to be in vain.

The flow of returning to Professor Winston from last night in an instant.

Professor Winston had a distressed face saying that a frog would die from being hit by a carelessly thrown stone.

“Mr. ….”

At that time, someone grabbed my collar and shook it.

In this school, only Charlotte calls me Bup.

As expected, she had Charlotte looking up at me with teary eyes.

Why is he crying all of a sudden?

“You know, Bocchan. The answer is, can’t you match it… ?”

I could see what Charlotte was thinking.

In that airship, I moved around and touched things.

Charlotte, on the other hand, sat still and behaved according to her crew’s words.

As a result, I had a chance to get a glimpse of the magic engineering circuit while I was wandering around, but she couldn’t see Charlotte properly.

But she knew, Charlotte, that I had seen the magic circuit.

“…… What am i doing It’s a quiz that doesn’t fit the level of this class in the first place.”

But I didn’t bother to get that problem right.

It wasn’t even the answer I learned through the normal route.

Besides, that quiz itself is close to Professor Winston’s failure in the exam, if you insist on it, what will happen in the future if you get this right.

Professor Winston will rate the level of our class too high based on my answer alone, so there will be more mistakes in the future.

“It’s good for everyone to just skip it.”

For the difficulty of classes that future students will experience.

Also, for Winston to make mistakes as a professor and learn, it was the correct answer to pass this quietly without saying anything.

In short, it would be beneficial for both sides to covet the reward and tell the real correct answer, but in the long run, it was a story of wrong answers and losses.

‘I’m not really curious about that reward in the first place.’

But I forgot an important fact.

The fact that if Charlotte is sitting in the seat next to me, Justina is sitting in the seat opposite her.

As is the case with older adults, she was quite naughty.

He makes fun of the young students and me with various pranks, and instead of apologizing or explaining, he just grins.

I didn’t deviate much from that pattern this time either.

“Look! You seem to know the answer to that quiz~?”

“…… Wait, Yuzu?”

“Does Yuzu know too?”

Charlotte wanted someone to submit a correct answer anyway.

There is no other reason. Since no one answered, Professor Winston’s expression darkened, so that must have been pitiful.

It didn’t matter if Justina answered if I refused.

But there’s no way Justina knows about magic engineering.

“No, she doesn’t know who she is.”

“Yes? Then why is her hand…….”

Sure enough, Justina shamelessly shrugged her shoulders.

Expecting Justina to give her correct answer, Charlotte tilted her head.

Justina smiled lightly at Charlotte and looked at me.

“But I wonder if Deneb knows.”

“Ha ha.”

Reflexively, her sigh leaked out.

It must have overheard a conversation between Charlotte and me.

Anyway, everyone looked this way because Justina caught her attention.

Other students, as well as Professor Winston.

Looks full of anticipation rained here and there like heavy rain.

“Really? Deneb-kun, do you know the magic engineering circuit that forms the basic structure of this airship?”

“Ah…… Yes, maybe.”

I couldn’t even take it off at this point.

No, it was an atmosphere that I couldn’t say I didn’t know in the first place.

Anyway, I’m in trouble because of Charlotte and Justina.

It was embarrassing, but I hesitated and stood up.

“Hey, let’s draw it here on the blackboard. It’s okay even if it’s not similar, well, but it’s great just to try! Even if you are wrong, this courage will be recognized by everyone!”

From noble mtl dot com

Winston even put the chalk in my hand.

I also don’t know anything about the concept of engineering circuits.

However, the picture I saw on that airship remains in my memory.

I remembered seeing the painting and described it as similarly as possible.

“Oh, oh oh oh… ….”

Anyway, looking at Winston’s reaction, it seemed like the correct answer.

It’s only difficult to know the circuit in advance, but drawing it itself wasn’t that difficult, so I was able to complete it right away.

“Is that real?”

“I don’t know….”

On the other hand, whenever I added a stroke to the picture, I could hear the students whispering behind me.

They weren’t students from the special class, but students from the Magical Engineering class.

“How do you know the circuit of that airship?”

“That’s right, I wasn’t even a kid taking classes.”

“Ah… Isn’t that boy from the Rehinar family? You’re the kid who came in first place in the entrance test this time.”

“The Rehinar Family? What does that have to do with the airship?”

It didn’t feel very good to talk about me behind the scenes, but well.

After completing the painting and the magic engineering circuit I had been ordered to, I looked back while shaking off my white powder-stained hands.

Winston was looking at me with a face as if he would burst into tears at any moment.

Behind her, Charlotte covered her mouth and was crying.

‘…… Why are you crying?’

As I stood awkwardly, Professor Winston cleared his throat.

“Big, big! Good, very good! Exactly!”

Winston clapped clap clap clap clap clap clapped, the students followed suit, but there were many negative eyes.

That’s because the stone that just rolled today took out a stone that was stuck in it.

The atmosphere was that it was not a knowledge learned through proper study, but an answer that I came across by chance thanks to the prestige of the family, so I couldn’t admit it.

“Ugh… ….”

Professor Winston hesitated for a moment, perhaps noticing the atmosphere.

“Still, I think I was right about my mistake in this matter. I was too immature in writing. hahahaha, next time I will come back with a better quality quiz!”

It was fortunate that I didn’t like it just because I got it right.

If you think I’ll fix it next time and keep the problem of quality and difficulty like this, that’s a real big problem.

But for the other students, it seems that the reward they will receive right now is more important than the fact that the difficulty level of the forthcoming quiz has been maintained.

“What about compensation? Then what about the quiz reward?”

“Oh, the reward… ….”

Professor Winston turned his head in my direction.

Students’ dissatisfaction will explode again if they give away goods here.

You would think it was an unfair competition under unreasonable conditions.

But I didn’t come out for that product in the first place, so I didn’t think much about accepting it or not.

“Don’t just give it to me.”

“But… ….”

“I’m really fine.”

“…… Mmm.”

So I muttered quietly so that only Professor Winston could hear it.

I wonder if I was thinking too hard on my own.

Professor Winston nodded his head, relieved as if he had taken a breather.

“Oh, yes. I’m really sorry Deneb-kun for giving the right answer, but I’ll postpone the prize to a decent quiz to bring later. Still, I believe that Deneb-kun can hit even then!”

“Yes, I will continue to work hard.”

At this point, wouldn’t it be a good ending?

Professor Winston also realized his mistake, and as Charlotte had hoped, Professor Winston was not overly humiliated.

“…… Deneb.”

“Yes?”

But the moment I turned around, I heard a voice behind me.

Professor Winston’s voice was so low that only I could hear it and none of the other students could hear it.

“Please visit me separately next time. I will prepare the goods.”

“No, it’s okay.”

“This is because I am not well. You must come, okay?”

Anyway, people are true.

I was pushed on my back by Professor Winston and headed to my place.

I didn’t expect anything like a product.

‘But what?’

…… If you offer me this much, is it a bit hard to refuse?
