Chapter 64
--Several hours after the drafting .
We went to the dungeon with the participants--in other words, the whole student body .
Since the dungeon isn't that wide, I can't see all of them from where I stand .
Well this dungeon will probably become large enough for everyone to see each other's face during the time we're fighting the demons later .
"Then I'll be explaining the flow of mithril refinery . "
"Yes!"
I call out to the students using loudspeaker magic .
I'm only going to demonstrate the rough flow, the teachers will take care of the tidbits .
"First, break dungeon walls into an easy-to-treat size . "
While saying that, I used an ordinary iron pickaxe augmented with 【Brittle Fracture】 to hit and break the dungeon wall .
Unlike swords, pickaxes are specialized to break rocks and such .
It's partly due to the fact that the dungeon walls on the first floor is soft that even an exceedingly weak augment could break them .
--It could and all, but .
"W-what the heck is that pickaxe . . . . It shaved off the dungeon wall in one hit . . . . "
"A pickaxe from the national treasures?"
"No, the weird one here isn't the pickaxe, but the user, Mathi-kun isn't it? If it's Mathi-kun, I feel like he could even break dungeon walls using some random pickaxe lying around . "
It turned into this commotion just from having the dungeon wall broken .
--Un . I'll leave them alone since explaining it each time would take all day .
I'll leave it to the teachers to explain the details and end my duty here quick .
"This is an ordinary pickaxe . I only used a little bit of magic when it hit the dungeon wall . The bulk of this work will be taken care of by the Fourth Crest--the Disqualified Crest . "
Breaking walls by swinging swords augmented with magic will be a good training, it's also good for training muscles . It's an ideal basic training for the usage of Disqualified Crest .
"Next, it's about refining--"
I told them the abridged version of the explanation I told Ruli .
Refining is mainly done by the First Crest, while the Second and Third Crests are to use heating magic .
Even if it's mainly for the First Crest, the other crests will still have to maintain the magic right, it should be a good practice for them still .
And then I changed place with sensei once I had explained enough .
"--That is all from Mathias-kun . Everyone, do you get the mithril procurement process?"
"Sensei! I don't get it at all!"
"I get what he's saying, but I'm completely sure I can't do it!"
"Was this lecture intended for people who have stopped being humans!?"
--Looks like they don't really understand .
Rather, what does even 'stop being human' mean . You think this is for demons or something .
But now that I think about it, when I told the teachers about this process the first time, they had the same expressions .
Their expressions are similar to that of students currently learning intermediate magic who suddenly get a lecture about nuclear fusion magic .
By the way, why is the figurative this concrete you ask, it's cause I actually did that in my past life .
That was when I was 120 if I'm not mistaken . . . . Well, it was what you call youthful indiscretion .
At that time, I noticed that my lecture was too difficult, similar to what happened here .
I was thinking that If I had another chance, I would make sure to teach about nuclear fusion magic in a way anyone could understand in one try .
--Well, in the end, that was the last time I was requested to hold a lecture .
Even though I'd gone the trouble of making, 『Nuclear Fusion Magic For Dummies』 and 『Immortality Magic Handbook』 text books and all, with a chance to rear my then potential party members .
" . . . Honestly, I understand what you guys feel . I really really do . "
The teacher began to speak with a serious face in front of the students .
"Anyone would have the same reaction when they saw someone saying things like procuring mithril then proceeding to break and refine dungeon walls like it was just obvious . --However, this is real . "
The teacher picked up fragments of broken dungeon walls and used several magic .
And then he raised the completed mithril before the students .
"During the teacher meeting just now, we've decided upon another name for 『Mathias's Special Lecture』! And that name is 『Common Sense Destroying Mathias's Lecture』!"
Stop it . Please don't pull out lame names like that without consulting me first .
At least leave out my name .
『Common Sense Destroying Lecture』 . That should be good enough .
"OOH!"
" . . . Umu . It's a name well-suited for Mathias-kun's class . "
However, it seems to be well-received by the students and teachers .
. . . Un . Let's do that .
"Alright, let's make a break for it when we still have the chance . "
I talked to Ruli and Alma while moving with erased presence .
"OK!"
"I got it!"
I've told the teachers that I'll be going to beat the demons once I'm done explaining the rough outline .
We'll probably be back once the students have become fully-fledged--or not as I can't exactly do that, it's probably after they're able to refine the mithril to some extent .
Thus, we left the dungeon and began the journey to kill the demons .
It'll only be a three day trip at the longest if my plan goes well though .
