Magical Academy: Rise of the Supreme Magic Craftsman

Chapter 323 - 15 Days



[ Empire\'s Fleet ETA: 15 days ]

Not many days were left before the Empire\'s force would start appearing in their territory.

Ace didn\'t want to get pressured but problems after problems started occurring. 

After he fixed Wallace\'s blunder in their Moon Base, he strengthened the Base\'s defense and made added supplies in case other structural problems started appearing. 

He also prohibited his other self to use his Void Phase here, as it truly causes some form of disruption even without activating their security system.

It seems that the skill powered by his enhanced Astral Core was quite destructive. 

[ The Mechanic have started working and as you instructed, they\'re working on weapons that they can use in a fight and helps in producing Mech Knights\' parts. ] 

"Very good. I hope there are no big issues with this."

[ None at all. At most, these Mechanics wanted to create a Mech Knight that isn\'t powered by a Mana. Also, due to the huge numbers of Mechanic coming in, there might not be enough work for them. ] 

"I see… Anyway, they want a Mech Knight similar to Lotus? Mhmm… What are your thoughts?"

[ Waste of resources. These average humans don\'t have brain-boosting abilities. Not even something similar to gene enhancements. Mech Frames or Mech Knights are not suitable for them. ]

"I see…" 

Ace nodded at this. 

Avalon was right, an average human doesn\'t have the capacity to control such a large machine to a satisfactory level.

They may be able to make it fly, run, or shoot, but fighting in large battles that requires extreme map awareness and swift movements might be too much for them.

"Oh… I still have the recipe for Body Strengthening Potion, correct?"

Ace remembered the reward that Wallace received from the Pathfinder.

He managed to produce some of these and used them as a real item reward during the recruitment phase of the Alien Invasion.

The random rewards from Pathfinder allowed him to give away impressive items that attracted a lot of powerful organizations to invest in the game. 

One of these is the said potion. Although it was only categorized as \'S\' or small, it should be more than enough for the average humans.

[ Yes. ] Avalon answered.

"Alright, include the Berserk Potion with it and give these recipes to them. Let them produce as many as they can."

[ Affirmative. We\'ll divide their work into Mechanic and Potion-Brewer. ]

"How are you planning to divide them?"

[ We have stopped the productions of the VR Pod so we will have enough machines and automatons to work on the Knights and Spaceships. We will need fewer Mechanic at this point so we will have 70% of them work in the potion industry and the rest will work as Mechanic. ] 

"That sounds good."

Ace may have miscalculated the number of normal humans coming to his organization but he\'s more than happy to help them.

Making them strong will also help him even just by a little. 

"Aside from that, coordinate with Yumi to help them create some weapons like guns or something. We\'ll need to get the government\'s help to start with that so ask her or my senior apprentice."

[ Affirmative.]

Avalon dutifully answered.

Creating weapons meant for civilians isn\'t part of his permit so he has to coordinate it with the NMTI first. 

He doesn\'t want others to disrupt his operations so it is better to anticipate his enemy\'s movements. He wouldn\'t want another member of Lucent Force sneaking in his territory and allow them to find a hole in his operations.

After dealing with this, Ace was informed about the problems that they\'ve encountered in making a transforming Mech Knight.

This knight was supposedly for his sister and this is quite challenging. After all, Avalon is not an Artificial Intelligence meant for creating Mech Knights.

Avalon is an Artificial Intelligence meant for a pilot\'s life-support and enlightenment interface system.

Although it has advanced and evolved to a now all-around A.I., it was still incapable of creating things that weren\'t in its database. 

[ We have made a total of nine failures in this transforming Mech Knight. ] 

"What seems to be the problem?"

[ It lacks effectivity. The Mech Knight can transform into a vehicle but mechanical problems would arise if the transformation occurs during high-speed movement. ]

Ace was lost in thought after hearing the problem. In truth, it shouldn\'t be a problem if they would just tell her sister not to transform during the high-speed movement that Avalon is talking about.

However, it would feel like they are limiting themselves if they just give up here…

"Urgh… Just let Wallace handle it. I bet he\'s just experimenting with his newfound abilities down there…"

[ Affirmative. ]

[ .. ]

[ Passing responsibilities to Wallace Completed. ] 

"Very good… Is there anything else?"

[ There are signs of distress from the Arians that were left behind after not hearing anything from their family and friends. ] 

"Oooh… I forgot about that. Let\'s see… Allow them to communicate with the Arians on Earth… Ensure that the Arians under Yumi\'s supervision were all healthy and good-looking before allowing them to communicate with their colleagues."

Avalon dutifully followed his instructions. Of course, the A.I. just coordinated this to Veda who was handling the Arians staying at Omen IV. 

Finally, all simple matters of today were dealt with.

The only thing left to do was to address the battle plan that he made against the three types of Mech Frames from the Empire\'s fleet. 

The Radiant Wave Technology that the Lotus he has was still quite effective against mana…

It should be similar to the three that have a technology above or similar to Radiant Wave. 

Of course, Ace already expected this but he actually thought of a more effective plan by using the Omen\'s space mines made of the Mind Stones.

Although he\'s confident fighting against the fleet in close-range combats, he still wanted to dwindle their forces using these methods. 

Ace looked at the floating metal ball beside him as he ordered it to connect him with Veda.

"Veda… If what you discovered about the Mind Stones is true, then we\'ll use it to our advantage. Gather as many as you can from the Omen."

[ I understand. However, I\'m also quite busy with the expansion of the Cryptic Link Serum Project. Get Avalon to help me. ] 

"Isn\'t that project completed already?" Ace was confused.

[ Of course not. We\'re about to try them to normal humans. ]
