The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

“You know what? You really look like one of those crazy alchemists in the story right now, acting really crazy!” Weiwei glanced at Ramanlas, who was already asleep on the bed from exhaustion, and then looked at Miral, who had only slept for a little over five hours but was already full of energy and doing experiments. Lu Ming sat down next to Miral with a bit of helplessness and said.

"is it?"

"What do you mean by that nonchalant tone?" Seeing that Miral didn't seem to care about his words, Lu Ming asked somewhat angrily.

"Actually, I can't hold back anymore either..."

"..." Looking at Miral, who was enduring the pain while conducting the experiment, Lu Ming always felt an urge to forcibly carry her to bed. However, in the end, Lu Ming did not take any action.

"What kind of experiment are you conducting? Aren't your puppet soldiers already able to easily suppress other puppet soldiers?" Suppressing the impulse in his heart, Lu Ming shifted his gaze to Miral's two puppet soldiers and asked.

"Although my puppet soldiers can counter other puppet soldiers, they can't unleash their full combat power when fighting living soldiers. So I'm currently trying to create puppet soldiers that can counter real soldiers. Moreover, I'm also trying to give them magic resistance so they won't be crippled by magic!" Miral became incredibly excited when talking about his puppet soldiers.

To be honest, at that moment, Lu Ming really wanted to grab her and yell, "Give me back my somewhat dim-witted Miral!!"

But for some reason, Lu Ming felt that Miral was only truly happy and confident at this moment.

So he paused for a moment, then said, "I know. I've already been negotiating with Amp. Once the students are in their second year, you can start teaching them about puppet soldiers."

Upon hearing this, Miral immediately turned around, looking at him with disbelief. It was as if she were saying, 'Do you know what you're saying?'

You think I'll be angry, right?

"sorry."

“You have your own ideas, and what you’re doing can give Miracaisa a favorable position in the war against the Aifa Empire. What reason do I have to stop you?” Lu Ming slowly got up from the ground and walked step by step toward the small bed, smiling as he spoke.

“…” Watching Lu Ming’s back, Miral suddenly stopped the experiment, walked quickly towards Lu Ming, and hugged him tightly.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ming was suddenly hugged by Miral. Not knowing what was wrong with her, he turned around, hugged her, and asked.

"We can talk about the experiment tomorrow. Tonight, I want to stay with you." Looking at Lu Ming's face, Miral blushed and said as if she had come to a realization, "Besides, without you and Ramanlas, I can't complete the experiment..."

"Silly girl." Hearing this, Lu Ming smiled helplessly, then picked up Miral and placed her next to Ramanlas, leaning in close...

Chapter 4 - Puppet Soldier Development

"I never imagined Miral could be this crazy when she gets going." In the early morning, with Lu Ming's help, Ramanlas got dressed and looked at Miral, who had been playing with Lu Ming until dawn and was now asleep on the small bed, saying with a hint of disbelief, "You actually played with me until dawn!"

"Are you jealous?" Lu Ming asked with a smile as he held Ramanlas.

"No...no...no!"

Seeing that Ramanlas blushed because of his words, Lu Ming laughed and kissed her hard on the cheek, making her collapse into his arms.

"Today we'll go teach the students first, then help Mirall finish the experiment this afternoon, and tonight the three of us will have a good time."

"Hmm..." Lying in Lu Ming's arms, Ramanlas nodded slightly, then broke free from Lu Ming's embrace, picked up her course materials, and ran away as if fleeing.

"You get some rest. We'll talk about the experiments and tests when we get back this afternoon. Also, I'll cover your class this morning." After putting on his coat, Lu Ming kissed the pretending-to-be-sleepy Miral on the cheek and then quickly left the room.

At this moment, Miral opened her eyes, glanced at the door that Lu Ming had closed, and slightly curled the corners of her lips. She took out a pendant from under the covers, looked into one of the eyes, and said, "What were your thoughts back then?"

Suddenly, as if remembering something, she couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "So that's how it is! We were really silly..."

"Forget it, there's no point in talking about it now." With the pendant tossed aside, Miral turned around, her back to the eye, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

The eyes inside the pendant remained fixed on her until the first school bell rang, at which point they looked away.

-----------------------------------

"Students, please remember that the study of magic is very interesting. Although it is very rigorous, just like science, it can be used to do very interesting things! Alright, that's all for this lesson." Lu Ming, who was teaching, said to his students with a smile when he heard the bell ring.

"Yes, Principal," the students replied in unison.

Then, the students, chatting and laughing, took their books and left the classroom. Lu Ming also began to organize his teaching materials, preparing to return to his office to plan the content for the next lesson.

At that moment, Henes and two other professors suddenly appeared.

"Principal, I heard you plan to help Vice Principal Sachi with the experimentation and production of special puppet soldiers. I wonder if the three of us could join you?" Before Lu Ming could even ask, Henes asked directly.

"You're quite well-informed!" With a slight smile, Lu Ming made two cursory marks with his pen and then said, "It's possible, but I hope you and Mirall will stop arguing. As the principal, I can't force you two to do anything, so no arguing, no sarcastic remarks, and no humiliating others!"

"I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely not have any disagreements with Vice Principal Sachi!" Hearing this, Henes said happily.

As a result, when it was 10 p.m. and everyone arrived at the secret room that Lu Ming had set up at the school, Miral, Henes, and Ramanlas were still not getting along, which made many people feel awkward.

However, Lu Ming felt that it was impossible for the three of them to become good friends overnight, so he didn't want to say anything, as long as the three of them didn't affect the research and development of special puppet soldiers.

Like the puppet soldiers that Miral temporarily created during the war, these puppet soldiers were also made using dragon scales, dragon ashes, and iron sand.

This extravagant approach astonished Henes and the other professors, including those Ramanlas had brought along to save face, all of whom were amazed by Lu Ming and Miral's immense wealth. Normally, dragon scales and dragon ashes are incredibly expensive; ordinary magicians might never even see them in their entire lives.

As research and development began, Miral created one of the Dragonscale Puppet Soldiers designed to counter the Puppet Soldiers. He then told the others, "This is a model I developed to counter the Puppet Soldiers. While it's effective against other types of Puppet Soldiers, it's quite weak against heavy cavalry, mages, and other living beings. Therefore, I hope to develop a Puppet Soldiers that can both counter other types of Puppet Soldiers and not be too weak against living beings."

Looking at the puppet soldiers Miral had created, Henes frowned slightly and said, "I think there's something wrong with your binding magic. Besides, puppet soldiers aren't as agile as living beings, so they can't possibly hold their own against a mage. Vice Principal, your idea is nothing but nonsense!"

Upon hearing Heness's assessment that his skills were lacking and that he was overthinking things, Miral flew into a rage, instinctively snapping, "I don't recall you making puppet soldiers! If you're an amateur, don't spout nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, Henes quickly walked over to the materials used to make the puppet soldier, created one, and then gave Miral a very arrogant look, which infuriated Miral.

Seeing this, Lu Ming shouted, "Enough! You two are here to develop puppet soldiers, not to fight amongst yourselves!"

However, Miral and Henes immediately retorted in unison, "Shut up, you amateur!!"

"..." Suddenly, everyone except the two of them and Lu Ming swallowed hard, because Lu Ming was on the verge of exploding.

But an amateur is an amateur. Since he doesn't know how to make puppet soldiers, Miral and Henes wouldn't listen to anything he said, so he chose to become a tester.

Lu Ming walked step by step to the center of the room, casually conjured an ice sword with magic, pointed it at Miral and Henes, and said, "Yes, I'm a novice. Then let the two experts use the puppet soldiers you've created to fight this novice. If you win, it means you don't need to develop any more puppet soldiers; if you lose, I'll deduct three years' worth of your salaries!"

"..."

"We were wrong!" "Please, please let us go!"

Upon hearing Lu Ming's threat, Mirar and Henes immediately surrendered and apologized to Lu Ming.

After all, they had no other income. If their wages were deducted, the two of them would have zero expenses other than food and clothing! This was unacceptable to the two girls.

Moreover, it would be better to kill Miral and turn her into a ghost than to have development work forcibly stopped!

So the two of them obediently gave in, lest Lu Ming really get angry and punish them.

Seeing Miral and Henes obediently apologize and beg for forgiveness, Lu Ming snorted coldly, turned the Frost Sword into powder, and then returned to his seat.

Mirar and Henes breathed a sigh of relief instantly. The moment Lu Ming got angry, they both felt immense pressure. Although they didn't know why, at that moment, they felt as if a vicious wolf, heavily wounded but deadly to anyone who touched it, was staring at them, filling them with fear.

After Lu Ming sat back down, Miral and Henes began analyzing the opponent's puppet soldiers, wanting to see whose puppet soldiers were stronger and also to gain some insights from the opponent's puppet soldiers.

As a result, both Miral and Henes found the shortcomings of their own puppet soldiers by observing the other's puppet soldiers.

Miral's puppet soldiers are modified versions of other puppet soldiers. Neither binding magic nor attack-guiding magic is very effective. Sometimes, even when the enemy is standing right in front of the puppet soldier, the puppet soldier cannot find the enemy, causing the puppet soldier to be attacked for nothing without retaliating.

Hernes' puppet soldiers possess far superior binding and targeting magic compared to Miral's puppet soldiers, boasting greater stability and enemy detection capabilities. Furthermore, their magic resistance is significantly stronger than Miral's puppet soldiers.

However, Henes's puppet soldiers were far less agile than Miral's, and their reaction speed was also slightly inferior.

Learning from others' strengths and compensating for their own weaknesses is what Miral and Henes need to do most right now, and it's also what Miral needs to do to develop better and stronger puppet soldiers. Unfortunately, they are both proud and arrogant in this regard. They might be willing to learn from others' strengths to make up for their own weaknesses, but if that person is the other side, they are both somewhat unwilling.

But under Lu Ming's high-pressure policies, they had no choice but to comply, even if they didn't want to!

Sitting in his chair, Lu Ming propped his head up with one hand and said coldly, "Judging from the current situation, the development of puppet soldiers will still take some time. So today, you need to identify your respective strengths and weaknesses, and then correct the weaknesses you find one by one. Understand?"

"Yes!" Miral hurriedly replied, sensing Lu Ming's dissatisfaction with his and Henes's unwillingness to cooperate.

Henes quickly replied, "Understood!"

Helpless, Mirar and Henes could only suppress their pride and work together to make up for the shortcomings of their puppet soldiers as much as possible, so as to avoid Lu Ming coming to cause trouble.

However, at this moment, the discussion between Lu Ming and a professor who came to help surprised Miral slightly.

"Do puppet soldiers have to be made into human form? Why haven't I heard of puppet soldiers being made into other shapes?"

"I haven't heard of that either. But, according to your idea, Principal, if you were to make a puppet soldier, what would it look like?"

"If it were me, I think I would make something like a wolf or an insect..."

"So how do we attack? Wolves and insects don't have hands! They can't use weapons to fight soldiers or other puppet soldiers!"

"Why bother with weapons and hand-to-hand combat? We can use binding magic to create wing blades on the sides of the puppet soldiers from fine iron filings, allowing them to slice through enemy soldiers' bodies as they run at high speed between them!"

"But this method doesn't seem to work against heavily armored soldiers."

"So the wing blades are actually made of fine iron sand, not just two swords stuck in them!"

"Headmaster, do you mean to use binding magic to make a weapon similar to a magic chainsaw from fine iron sand?"

That's right!

"But then, we can't just use one set of binding magic. And if we use two sets of binding magic, the puppet soldiers will be paralyzed and lose their original function because the binding magic conflicts with each other!"

"No! This is feasible!" Suddenly, Miral and Henes, who were modifying their puppet soldiers, turned around and said in unison.

"..." Lu Ming and the professor were startled by the two of them and looked at them blankly.

Without saying a word, the two of them exchanged a glance and together created a wolf-shaped puppet soldier, using two different sets of binding magic to mold iron sand, dragon scales, and dragon bone ash into its body and wing blades.

However, the puppet soldier was not very effective.

Although it is now able to move without being paralyzed or collapsing due to the conflict between the two sets of binding magic, there are still significant problems with movement, attack, and coordination.

Even so, this still surprised many professors. In their view, puppet soldiers couldn't possibly use two sets of binding magic on the same target!

"It looks like it's still a little short." Lu Ming glanced at Miral and Henes's work and smiled slightly.

"It's still a little short, but believe me..." "I will definitely be able to finish it!"

Mirar and Henes made their promises to Lu Ming in unison, then they glared at each other, neither of them looking down on the other.

Seeing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh and said, "Gentlemen, aren't you getting a little too excited? It seems the development of the puppet soldiers isn't finished yet!"

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Miral and Henes were slightly taken aback, then blushed and looked to their sides.

“The development of anything takes time! So keep up the good work, you two!” Looking at the two troublesome vice-principals and professors in his school, Lu Ming couldn’t help but laugh and joke, “However, if there’s anything you can’t handle, just give up! Anyway, you two will only cause trouble for others.”

Upon hearing this, Miral and Henes both glared angrily at Lu Ming, thinking to themselves, 'I'd never be like this 'bastard/idiot'!'

Just as everyone was laughing at Lu Ming's embarrassment, Ramanlas discovered something: Lu Ming had actually been the one leading the conversation with the other professor.

This made her somewhat suspicious that his purpose in telling that professor those things was simply to remind Mirall. Moreover, she simply couldn't believe that Lu Ming, with his abilities and imagination, couldn't create puppet soldiers! And judging from his actions just now, he could indeed make puppet soldiers, and his skills were far superior to Mirall and Henes'.

It's even possible that the two of them combined couldn't match Lu Ming's skills.

The reason he didn't reveal his true abilities was probably to conceal his shortcomings and leave Mirall room to soar, so that Mirall wouldn't appear like a fool at school.

So Miral's current arrogance is just Lu Ming deliberately letting her have her way, but she went crazy researching puppet soldiers because of this kindness, which made Lu Ming very unhappy.

Now she's really afraid that one day Mirall will go too far and Lu Ming will choose to give Mirall a severe blow, at which point Mirall might not be able to handle it...
