A mage? A spell engineer!

Chapter 145 I'm Not Some Demon

In the hospital room, Luo Xia was lost in thought. In reality, he was repeatedly examining the panel results that had made him faint.

The rune has many elements, but the main body can be seen at a glance as a regular hexagon containing three alternating straight lines—that's right, a benzene ring.

Alas, the world no longer has the Kekulé formula; instead, a new term, "Rorschach formula," has emerged after a series of names such as "Rorschach constant" and "Rorschach equation," if he were willing to isolate "light phlogiston heavy carbon compounds" and tell everyone that this thing looks something like this.

Kekulé obtained a benzene ring structure in his dream, and Rorschach, after waking from his coma, found a rune pointing to himself. Good. "But where did I get this rank? It's not pointing to the panel, is it?" Unfortunately, he currently lacked the ability to analyze the origins of the panel before him; as long as it worked, it was fine. "Here you go!"

The magic circle created by [Rorschach's Divine Exorcism] had its meaning and mechanism immediately apparent to Rorschach; it was indeed constructed by the panel using the "computing power" of his brain. Only the central rune greatly surprised Rorschach.

No, this mysterious spell also exceeded Rorschach's expectations. Although he grasped a slight difference between the divine power in the transmutation dust and the aether, the spell's effect still seemed to operate on its own, like a black box; his ability to cast the spell appeared to be instinctive. Where did this strange "instinct" come from? Rorschach examined his right hand, as if trying to rediscover himself.

There was still a ton of stuff to do. Rorschach shook his head, picked up his empty wine glass, and walked out of the room. No one changed his clothes; they just took off his mage robe and coat. Rorschach dressed and checked himself out of the hospital.

If everything has a price tag, all you can do is try your best to make sure you can afford it in the future.

Several days have passed since the youngest intermediate mage fainted in the practice room, and after the time limit was exceeded, the tower spirit discovered him and notified his mentor, Kano, who then sent him to an extremely expensive clinic.

In the research building, Master Cano happily announced to Rorschach that Istani's computing machines and the apprentice labor that Rorschach needed were all in place.

Because the machine is very expensive and needs to be shared and carefully maintained by the entire group, a special room was set aside to house it. Adding to this the old and new research labs, Rorschach's lab, and Cano's office, the chief professor of a certain Star Tower has unknowingly used his position to reserve five rooms in the research building. This doesn't even include the communal meeting room, which has the highest priority for Cano's group.

It's so dark! Oh, I'm one of the core members of the research team, so it's alright now.

"Merovinga? Is that Philippe de Merovinga?" Rorschach confirmed that among the apprentices he had been assigned, there was an unremarkable fellow named Simon, and also Mr. Philippe, the nobleman's son whom he had punched.

"Yes, I originally wanted to ask Cavendish to join our group, but unfortunately he recently had to take leave and went back to the island. Since Mr. Philip took the initiative to contact me and was very polite, I agreed." Cano didn't seem to care much about this matter and was still studying the instruction manual for the calculator.

"Alright, I want to see just how good their attitude is." Luo Xia reluctantly agreed to take on this apprentice, but just to be on the safe side, he still asked, "Is my point-deduction authority still in effect in the research building?"

Kano finally looked up, revealing a sly smile that Rorschach had in his eyes: "As long as you're in Valuvana, anywhere in this city, even if you get up in the middle of the night and shout, 'I'm going to deduct points from apprentice Philip Merovinga,' the Tower will hear you."

"That's amazing! How did you do that?"

"It's a secret." Kano looked out the window at the Starlight Torch Tower.

Thus, Luo Xia gained two assistants, nominally fellow disciples, but in reality, Luo Xia was their boss.

"Master Rorschach, I sincerely apologize to you. My impulsive actions at the time were due to the instigation of the bastards who were my father's enemies, which caused me to lose my mind." Philip bowed to Rorschach as soon as they met.

"That's all in the past. From today onwards, we're fellow disciples. But since Master Cano has assigned you to my project, you'll have to listen to me. Is that alright?" Rorschach smiled and helped Philip up, as if the two had already made up.

"If you can't even handle Philip, how will you manage your magic tower in the future?" This was Kano's demand of Roscia.

"You've been provoked and still can't recognize your mistakes? How can you have the spirit of our family? If you're not convinced, then learn from and surpass that imperial tyrant!" This was Duke Merovingian's admonition.

Sorry for the long wait, the PC version of the helper app has been lagging all day today. It feels like the functions haven't changed after the update, but there are more bugs.
