I Became a Time-Stopper at the Academy

74 – Direct Supply of Magical Potion

I entered the shooting room in the basement of the Hoover Industries building.

It was a full-scale facility more than I thought.

Not only do they have 8 arrows and targets, they are robot-like dummy dolls that move with magic, and even real monsters with lower grades.

The gun was designed to be tested in a variety of conditions and situations.

“This is the magic potion directly supplied magic gun.”

The head of the R&D team pointed at the top of the table with both hands.

To be honest, I imagined a small potion tank inside the gun, like a toy water gun.

But even though it was different from what I imagined, it was a very different thing.

It was in the form of carrying a large tank on its back.

The gun is connected by a hose.

It almost looks like a flamethrower.

The manager said while holding the hose part.

“I paid special attention to making this coffin. Recently, a new material developed by academia has been applied. Unlike traditional iron, it is light, bends well, and has good durability. It is called rubber.”

Rubber is definitely an English expression for rubber.

… Ah, rubber is a new material in this world.

It deserved it.

First of all, it’s a medieval European fantasy world.

Caitlyn saw my expression and asked in a low voice.

“I don’t like it… ?”

It seems that the emotion of surprise at the unexpected appearance was inadvertently revealed on the face.

She probably got her attention because I specifically ordered it.

But unlike the shotgun, my reaction was a little lukewarm, so I was embarrassed.

She replied, stroking her hair a little.

“No, I just thought that this could be applied more.”

“Application?”

From noble mtl dot com

He pointed to the part where the gun and hose were connected.

Now this gun is all-in-one.

I wondered if I could change the type of gun from time to time by attaching something like a coupler to make it detachable.

With the mana potion tank still on his back.

The director and Caitlin both opened their eyes wide.

“I feel sorry for myself for not thinking of that!”

“No, I might miss something. Don’t beat yourself up too much.”

Maybe they didn’t consider the compatibility because they started developing the shotgun and researching the magic direct supply system at the same time.

Prototypes are originally created to find out what needs to be improved in advance.

“It would be perfect if we could mass-produce only real magic potions!”

“What is right for you?”

“No matter how many patents we put on our guns, other companies can get our guns, reverse engineer them, and circumvent the patents!”

“I guess so.”

“In times like this, it’s better to release guns cheaply, increase our market share, and make money with consumables by making them use consumables that only we can make!”

… In short, it was toner business like a printer.

Here, the printer is the horse gun itself, and the toner is a magic potion.

However, since the magic potion cannot be mass-produced, Caitlyn, a businesswoman, is in a very disappointing situation.

Since you’re my lover now, it’s right for me to think about you.

Her money isn’t mine, but it’s going to benefit me anyway.

‘Come to think of it, aren’t magical weeds, like weeds, long-lived and common?’

I felt it when I was gathering magical weed with Lando, but more than I thought, there were magical weeds all over the mountain.

It’s just that it’s hard to find because it’s indistinguishable from weeds to the average person’s eye.

Then, wouldn’t it be possible to grow a magical herb farm by cutting the pure magical herb leaving only the root, then planting it in the soil and growing it?

A really simple and worth trying idea, but no one has tried it.

I made a similar mistake as the manager.

… Maybe someone other than me has already thought of it and tried it, but failed.

“Caitlyn, to commemorate your becoming my lover, I will research mass production of magic potions. I just remembered something.”

“Gee, really?! If you think of it, that’s 100%!!”

“But I’m still not sure. We have to go back to Lauris and try it out.”

I just said it with the intention of raising a little bit of anticipation, but she lit up her eyes.

A bit burdensome.

To the people of this world, if I said that I would mass-produce magical potions, it would sound like bullsh*t, but they probably trust me so much just because I said it.

“Then let’s try this one.”

“Yes, I will help you.”

I once carried a magic potion tank on my back like a backpack.

It wasn’t that light as it was a fairly large iron barrel.

Right now, the tank only contained about one-fifth of the potion.

It must have been quite heavy if the tank was filled with liquid potions….

“I think it would be better to make several sizes of this potion jar and change it as needed.”

“I will improve!”

I read the window in front of me.

——

Type: Weapon

Rating: B

Description: Magical potion directly supplied horse gun. It is a structure in which the magic potion contained in the water medicine tank is immediately converted into a magic bullet. It is a prototype of a horse gun devised by Joel de Jahe.

——

A water medicine is a potion, so after all, a water medicine tank is a potion container.

This time, my name was directly embedded in the item description window.

Hold on and stood on the road.

After aiming at the target set in advance, I pulled the trigger.

Bang—!

The magic bullets that came out of the muzzle at high speed shattered the wooden target.

The gunfire, firing speed, and power were not much different from [Standard Archebus].

Well, it’s a demonstration based on [Standard Archebus] In the first place.

“How is it?”

Caitlyn asked from the side.

My reaction seemed very curious.

“It’s nice. It’s convenient because you don’t have to worry about mana control and just shoot right away. However, I think a minimum safety device is needed.”

“A safety device?”

In the past, the user had to load magic first to fire the magic bullet, but now it fires just by pulling the trigger.

In other words, since it is always loaded, if the trigger is accidentally pulled, it will cause an accident.

As I explained that part, Caitlyn and the manager nodded.

“It’s a lot trickier than a shotgun. Direct supply type.”

“Still, if we mass-produce and sell magic potions, the game of war may change.”

Currently, a handful of sorcerers use horse guns and a few knights wield magic and skills to fight.

If magic potion direct supply type horse guns and magic potions are supplied together, it will be a world where all soldiers fight with guns, just like modern warfare I know.

Of course, knights who know how to handle a variety of magic and skills will continue to receive preferential treatment, but enlisted soldiers will also become a much more important force than they are now and will undergo systematic training.

“If that happens, you, Joel, will rewrite history.”

“I was just, in a way, catching a floating cloud.”

“That floating cloud is important!”

The general manager also said, “Welcome back.”

“No matter how skilled and talented a person is, if he lacks inspiration, he will not be recorded in history.”

“It’s as the manager said, so please don’t talk like that! I like it better when I stand confidently like when I usually flirt with women!”

… Furidani is a bit of an expression.

After that, I tried shooting while running, and also tried shooting while sitting or lying down.

I was left with a regret that it would be nice if only the really heavy things were resolved, but there was convenience to offset that.

We had fun shooting for almost an hour.

Growl—.

The belly clock rang on the manager’s stomach.

“Ah, hey, sorry. I haven’t eaten any lunch yet….”

Ah, I felt a little sorry.

Suddenly, a high-ranking person like us came and dealt with it, and I must be hungry to death.

Now I’m going to pack up and head back to the hotel.

“Can I keep this prototype as it is?”

“Oh yes, of course!”

“You have suffered a lot. I hope you will continue to work hard.”

“Yes, I will do my best!”

*

A groove was cut into the side of the tank to hang a gun like a vacuum cleaner.

So, I continued to walk toward the hotel with the Magical Direct Supply Horse Gun on my back.

It’s a bit heavy, but enough to lift.

“You know, Joel.”

“Uh.”

Caitlyn spoke to me with a somewhat serious expression.

“That…. If it is difficult to choose between an empire and a kingdom, how about a republic?”

“Huh?”

“You don’t have that much sense of discrimination against commoners, do you? And he is the son of the Marquis. Then people like it An elite who treats the commoners well. If you are, you will do well as a politician in the Republic.”

She listed the good things about going to the republic.

Among them, the part that spoke most strongly was the concubine.

“Compared to kingdom polygamy, concubines have fewer rights, but they also have fewer duties! You don’t have to make me have a baby just because you have a concubine unconditionally. Besides, most people tend to find it even more strange that a high-ranking person thinks he has no concubine, so it’s easy for you to have more women!”

The marriage system and culture are right between an empire and a kingdom.

The political system is completely different from an empire or a monarchy, but rather I am more familiar with the republic’s democracy.

Certainly, the Republic could have been an alternative.

I told her nodding her head.

“From what I’ve heard, the Republic doesn’t sound like a bad choice.”

“Is that so?”

“It’s not something we have to decide right now, so let’s think about the republic properly. Thanks for telling me.”

“Oh no! I’m so glad that you thought so….”

I went back to the hotel, stroking her reddened hair once more.

I have been out of progress from the first day of her dating, and most of all, she has not yet gone with Deli Ana Elian.

It would be reasonable to do it with her two people first and then with her.

The day after we enjoyed skinship, mostly kissing, at the hotel.

I went to the front door of the hotel with Caitlyn and Louis.

After shaking hands with Kiara and Amanda, Lando approached me.

“Did it go well yesterday?”

He silently gave a thumbs up at my question.

With a smile.

It seemed to work out very well.

In , Grando, who was also said to be the eunuch main character, has become an adult!

As expected, just like the main character, if you push his back once, he moves forward vigorously.

The research chairman clears his throat and draws everyone’s attention.

“Then, I will start attending the seminar now!”

Clap clap clap clap clap clap sound.

First of all, thanks to the seminar, Caitlyn and I became friends, and Lando also broke his virginity, so I clapped my hands.

Soon, the research chairman took the lead and walked toward the seminar venue.

The seminar venue is 5 minutes from the hotel.

It was like an outdoor stage, not indoors.

As we arrived at the seminar venue, Caitlyn asked me.

“Can I say hello? Really, only the big guys gather.”

“Is it better with me?”

“It would be nice if you stayed, but is it okay?”

“It’s okay if you help me.”

She raises the corner of her mouth,

“Really… ♡”

He gently hugged my left arm.

I like her as a tsundere, but I also liked that she was a bit different in her aegyo.

After that, she walked around the venue and Caitlyn introduced me to several people.

Deputy Minister of the Republic, owner of a famous media company, a professor famous for his economic theory, a reformist aristocrat of the kingdom, and so on.

… They were so prominent that it was questionable why they were invited to the Academy’s capitalism study group.

While Caitlyn was talking to the moguls, a man who seemed to be the host stood on the stage.

Everybody stopped talking and looked at the man.

“Thank you very much for coming here from a long way today! Then, from now on, we will start a seminar on the theme of the future national economy and corresponding corporate management!”
