Chapter 53: Overflow (2)
3BWOSRcWhen Shirone turned the cover, there was an article written along with an illustration of a female student he believed to be from the Advanced class.Go893YE
JX8The magazine mainly consisted of trivial stories and incidents, but that was the off-putting part. Someone had put in the work to find all of these things out.6CA
vNM2zA7Wow.Rx8
F2kxThe most shocking thing was the illustrators drawing skills. It was as if the drawings were real.onYgUy
PWgM3v3Is this really done by one person?c2wti
QNmvU0Every time Shirone turned a page, he awed in amazement.f4CIrP
L6R4TWhy make gossip magazines? With their skill, they could have been a renowned painter.AmCw
k9vPVsdThen he saw a familiar figure that made him stop turning the page.tkin
qyR05Huh?fBajmOm
iRInIt was Amy Karmis.rLc
qgx9tOf course, she wasnt drawn any worse than the others, but what caught Shirones eye was her daily routine.QDhK
qBxThe things she did during break and who she ate with, everything was written in detail.h4NhS4
tn9kDShirone couldnt find his name.XQHFI
pwZThey really have nothing to do.9JGvh
BFAFShirone felt strange hearing about her daily life in detail through someone elses writing.9Bm3r
VHZbNade read his mind.r4K
nASWhat are you so angry about? She ate with her classmates. She can choose to eat with other male students from the Advanced Class, no?tsixp
InOjnWNYiruki cackled.ChRn96s
aM6JxCant you tell just from Shiros personality? I dont think theyre even dating. Hey, be honest with me. You guys havent even held hands yet, right?kgpVqM8
8sa8AbPShirone threw the book he was holding.debI
rmFxHmph, mind your own business. Anyways, stop looking into stuff like this. Lets please do something productive. Were still a research group. How can we be like this all day?7tzf7
QbsDRealizing that studying with them was out of the picture, Shirone decided to find something he could do with his friends.rJwFBl
iyfjPIf so, why dont we check out Nades invention? The list of patents of Nade the Wiz.0BYb3z
sYqLyNade leaped to his feet.2q1NTj
5RlBvRight! There was that. Alright, Shirone. You will be really surprised, so look forward to it.OWcjid
WooNKNade crawled back under the table. Shirone bent down, curious to see what was inside the garbage dump, and was surprised to see a safe concealed among the trash.tF4F8
AMMrvTada!t94
hOdNade took something out, but nothing was visible to Shirone.QvNSwmO
WRqjn4What?P8xa
hdGwkThen, when Nade waved his arm, Shirone felt like the area around his hand was wavering based on a certain boundary.UWgFIT8
IOyNo way!xyyOA
lR4N65Haha! Yeah! Its an invisibility cloak!bvcLr
wwvbAn object that refracted light with electrical power and created an illusion that made it seem as if light passed through it.mhBUkkn
aMMGyYou really made it? This?XyhRc
OmJ7cfoElectric magic was often just used for or associated with lighting or electric attacks, but in reality, that field of magic was divided into many more branches and series.tUx
01zxOne of them was the illusion branch that dealt with virtual vision. Nade created a magic weapon that had the same effect as the Invisibility magic that caused the transparency effect.B98Ri4a
09ddiulThough it wasnt his original invention, being able to produce the invisible cloak required the ability of an incumbent professional.TLpD
soDlklMy dream is to become a magic engineer. Of course, compared to those expensive invisibility cloaks out in the market, this is nothing. The material is low quality, and not to mention the charging ability is insufficient. It only lasts an hour. But still, not bad, right?D6U0
pkpNade put on the cloak. His figure disappearedpUKl
N8GeThe quality of the invisibility cloak depended on the refractive index of light, and if it fell below 95%, it could not be considered invisible anymore. So even a 1% difference was the criterion for determining its technological prowess.Z7qcq
doZ7SPMCurrently, Nades item was not 99%, which was the industrys best, but it had a high enough refractive index of light to be called transparent.9zGsa
coYwWhen Nade moved, a blurred boundary could be detected.2726Sh
LckHowever, when he was standing still, the boundary was almost nonexistentlVOdvL
t75Shirone suddenly thought of something.5Lrvok
xHMNYou know, if you dumped that effort into studying, Im sure youd get much better grades.RTE6
F02sitHaha! Probably, but Im happier when I make magic tools. Hold on, I have more stuff.mZwQ2
9NiQYNade pulled something out from the safe again.H8XUnQN
GDrA miniature electric-powered carriage and holographic vision that made 2-D drawings into 3-D were also completed.weG
gJQup8There were also flashbangs and smoke bombs that were Yirukis idea, but they were not unique enough to be on Nades patent list.MDvzsOF
QcSfhwAnd if you press this buttonmlOGHPd
qvhUmvShirone carefully observed Nade who blabbered on and on about his works. It was his first time seeing him so enthusiastic.p74xH6o
IAEua3rHes not wasting his talent.X1B
qXZIt was true that they were problematic kids, but Nade and Yiruki had expertise ahead of any of their peers.7RwthLF
YvfThe rotational speed per second for this carriages power plant is Huh?QFkt1
efnNade, who was so engrossed in explaining, felt the room suddenly shake and looked up at the ceiling.VUB5
lGgThe vibrations became worse, and when the horses stationed on top of the chessboard fell down, Yiruki went out to the hallway after having a realization.rXFym
0qgMtDamn it! Teacher! Teacher incoming! Get those things! Clean it up!wNo9B
metBWhat? Whats happening?372p
ZUfThere wasn’t any time to explain.6FanMvw
rcNph0ZNade hid the picture book as if he had done this a thousand times and just rammed the smoke bombs and the uncertified funds for the research group into the safe.Bj6
Fu0kFinally, after all the items that violated the academy rules were disposed of, Nade snatched Shirone and sat him on the sofa.iPr
OiegSit here! Were in for questioning!mwA9SLO
uItTeFAs soon as he finished speaking, Estas engine system began to operate.agIpg
STYI9LtA red warning light flashed in the hallway. It announced that the research group would soon be summoned to the first floor.L4T4mN
9bodW5yTeachers coming? Then why are we sitting down like this? Arent you going to greet them?dAZ4n
PgyNade sat Shirone back down.cBD2ri
OSzgO1Never mind that! Just act as if nothing happened. Everythings normal. We werent doing anything, okay? If we get caught with things like the picture book or the smoke bomb, things wont end with a simple probation.DOCrrux
zUbM6iWHuh? O-Okay.OB816
IKoHearing the word probation, Shirones heart sank, but before he knew it, he calmed down.kKVddSq
vrK0CNade was tongue-tied at the insane switch speed, but at least one of his worries went away.2ik
cYvRnShirone wont make a mistake I hope. The only thing left is to see which of the instructors will come inGP2A3
9jB7After a final inspection of the room, Nade took a deep breath and sat on the sofa, crossing his legs.Rxc9nGf
oIU9hHah! Come at us.hsf
TMJMIWfThe eyes of the trio hardened.wzYAV
0JAgwHz* * *apPt
g2qxqgG* * *XwcvV
q4stSkSo annoying.2zM
CMDBASiena massaged her head which was wracked with a painful headache.8Bfy
g7g2HJIt took 3 minutes to move Estas warehouse to the first floor. It was more than enough time to not only clean up the area and hide any against-the-rule items, but also to make a run for it.ltSck98
Vod0QYIn the past, some instructors tried to infiltrate the laboratory without operating the engine system. However, all they did was lose their way and wander around for over an hour without being able to catch a glimpse of the laboratory. On the other hand, the members freely went in and out of the laboratory. It was natural for the instructors to get angry.OovKv0d
RTjLImpThese shrewd weasels.rZEr
8VYShe could somewhat make a guess of how they did it.pIOhf
7Qd12uThere must be an equation.PqQ4B
LqbYHEstas was built as a magic warehouse, but the manufacturing company along with the design layout were not disclosed.9ZzswNd
rk7ukchShe just found it absurd that a student 20 years ago had solved it and used it as a cover-up technique for the research group.iu81m7
FBxBHSiena folded her arms across her chest and tapped her feet against the ground until Estas form was completed.nDinu
s9WRwThe more I think about it, the more it annoys me. Why the heck is there a research group in this place? What am I supposed to do with these kids?j3gz
U2XThat was why the Shadow Research Group was a problem.MXlf
ZglIf they were a simple delinquent circle like the Black Magician, they would have been easily controlled by the instructors, but the intellectual power of those hidden in the shadows were already outside of the academys palm.WEF2
jBIdPR/N: Victims of Black Magician would beg to differ.XeP9Nw
OXb7GAnd now, just by looking at the members of the Supernatural Psychic Science Research Group, Black Magician would be seen as a joke.4Y4ZQMW
4cv2ifThis is a ticking bomb. Considering their talents, if they decide to do something together, itd definitely be huge. The problem is if an accident occurs It could lead to the biggest accident in this academys history.hz6l
sNPThe research group had very unique members.3EO2V
WUJ04BrNade was average during class time, but he showed off his agility and nimbleness like no other while focusing on research-group related projects.X8p
1XhYt7Yiruki. A troublemaker of Class 5. He was born with the Savant Syndrome.sCeZd
VT1jgtPNow, the star student of the academy, Shirone, had squeezed his way in between those two.1Hj
0pINo matter how hard she tried to imagine them together, she couldnt. So how were they able to get along so well together?MlHU
b0PMe3Was one talent attracting another? Well, I guess if its Nade and Yiruki, they could happily get along. Butro0Wh
xuFpuwThe problem was that Shirone was in a dangerous state.P7NZ19
zPkKLCJShe had to prevent him, who awakened the Immortal Function, from falling into Overflow.Ifu
kBm53Ethella said he could overcome it himself, but there was always that one-in-a-million chance of something going wrong. It was better to be safe than sorry.riJvR
sFxAnd if that one-in-a-million chance became a reality, then Shirones life would forever be changed.2kbV
YENL32qWhile deep in thought, Estas stopped.o5V
5tvKWithout waiting a second more, Siena entered the warehouse and glared at the sign written Supernatural Psychic Science Research Group. Then she slammed open the door.dWBwChu
saPGKsCough! Cough!pWX
QWqPpzThrough the crazy amount of dust, she saw three hazy figures. Shirone and his friends were sitting down.pQUHq
XoKNn9OAs expected, they were smiling without showing any sign of surprise.FT9wB2y
vy0vOf course, to Siena, this was a familiar sight.HdjBD
avFpnlHThe only difference was that all the little devils that she had conflicts with graduated, and a new member was there.2EZ9
9Jv4How come kids change into this whenever they join this research group? Seems even Shirone is not immuneXpy70
3c17mANormally, Shirone would have greeted her with a smile, but right now he had the perfect poker face. She understood a little, but to say she wasnt disappointed in the slightest would be a lie.lKPQ9w
xtMNext to Nade, who had an overconfident expression and sat with crossed legs, was Yiruki, who had his back flat against the chair like a delinquent.lPG
OT8wHmph.JzL
3P1Ej7Siena approached them with a snort. The atmosphere was enough to make any normal instructor walk right out the door exactly how they entered.7vMi
nkzNgNot even gonna greet your instructor?LLjhl
rp7VNade gave a sniff.L4lEr
uF4TEOrGuess we were too engrossed in our discussion and missed you there. Welcome.6nWj3P3
xff0HQNades relaxed appearance as the president was a complete shift from his usual quiet attitude in class.NZ1l4
PMSXThe students research group, which was an autonomous organization, was very wary of instructor interference. Thanks to that wariness, however, they were able to rise to their current position as an axle of the magic academy community.FRYRb4
l7VHmph. Yeah? All right. Youre trying to say you guys are a research group, arent you? Fine, be that way. But today will mark the last page of your research group.vjjr
K1pzlApproval had already been given by the Instructors Committee.GmIgZ
7YFtK4Nade questioned.9OtK
CgyvFAnyways, whats the big issue of the day? Ive been keeping a low profile these days.NShscF
IrAyAn official notice regarding your research group has been given. I came to tell you directly. Isnt that what instructors should do?HeLxcl2
gRz75Then please sit.j0oXe
ghJ81TONade wiped the seat. His attitude showed no hint of a guilty conscience.NKOgC
hKEThank you. While youre at it, why not provide a cup of tea?Lq6IKR3
kv1fDHYou know, I would love to, but I dont think youd trust the tea wed give you.fKspF
0sQGD0Siena laughed.oggV6
CpZhShe guessed that there was no cold water, let alone tea, in such a shabby warehouse.oVg1axa
YiU2EtPerhaps she didnt hate these kids as much as the previous ones because they had such a witty way of talking.c9lPtwa
92yVsJcAlright. You successfully made me slightly nervous. Ill get straight to the point. The Instructors Committee has decided. I would like for you guys to vacate this laboratory within a month.8R6
AwcL3WHAT?!p07
eQhUb7All three pairs of eyes popped open.E5AtsR
