The Magic Academy's Physicist-Chapter 199: Assemble

“Huh.... I, lived......?”

Rosemary looked over every inch of herself with a dazed expression.

She had had so many holes, but now they were all neatly mended. She must have been miraculously treated and saved.

“...How did I survive?”

“Because sis saved you.”

Rosemary’s head turned in the direction of the sound.

“Sis two...?”

“Big sis is back. Go and greet her.”

Rosemary’s complexion brightened at once. As soon as she got up from the capsule, she dashed all the way to the room that Aether mainly used.

Clack!

“Siiiis!”

Rosemary dived straight towards Aether.

“I’m sorry, sis! Please forgive me! I won’t ever do it again...! So don’t leave me.... I’ll listen properly from now on......!”

The first thing that came to her mind was neither joy nor relief.

She was scared that Aether was no longer able to stay at Tilette because of her.

Of course, Rosemary didn’t know what happened to Aether that day, as she had been at the palace and was knocked after being hit by White Day. Still, she was able to get some idea of what had happened from the fact that Aether was here at the Demon Castle.

The promise that she’d wait until she finished her business at Tilette had been broken either way. All she could do was shut up and beg that it was her fault.

“Sis, please forgive this once......!”

“...I got it, so get off me.”

“S-sis...?”

Rosemary panicked and slowly let go of the arm she had been holding. Aether’s tone was cold as ice.

Aether was looking at something.

It was a map of the Ahrens continent, with x’s marked in places with a red office pen. Rosemary roughly estimated where they were.

The capital of Philiut Empire. The military installation of each country. The White House where the president of Kaurelia resided, the capitol, the industrial plant.......

Scritch, scritch.

Aether drew an ‘x’ over the last location.

The entrance to the Elemental Realm–it was the downstream point of the Bruglium Falls.

“What are you doing, sis?”

“Preparation for clean up.”

“...Pardon?”

Aether spoke as she pointed to each place on the map with a thin wand.

“Empire, elf country, Elemental Realm, it doesn’t matter. A thrashing is perfect for foolish bastards who cannot think rationally or ask for forgiveness.”

Clatter! Aether threw the wand that she was holding, to which Rosemary’s shoulders flinched. Regardless, Aether lit up a stick and took out her staff.

Stab! The blade of the caliper dug into ‘Märcherm’, the capital of Kaurelia.

Märcherm was where the first World Tree took root, and simultaneously where the Lodestone of Air was tucked away.

“Especially the lowly bastards who wielded Elementals.”

Rosemary slowly turned her head and looked at Aether. Big sis’ eyes were bloodshot.

“Elvish will eventually be a language spoken in hell.”

It was a terrible killing intent, and Rosemary’s words came unconsciously out shaky.

“W-what’s wrong, s-sis.... You weren’t like this before....”

“It’s all over now, Rosemary. I’m done trying to prove this world. We will finalize everything within a year.”

“.......”

Rosemary couldn’t say anything.

Goosebumps broke out. But her sis had had a kind side to her. Her sis had been a kind one with the occasional cute moment like sis two.......

It was actually the first time seeing big sis this angry. Right now, she was full of vengeance towards humans.

Rosemary didn’t like humans, either. They were proud and selfish, and she usually wanted to wipe them out.

But today, for the first time, Rosemary wondered if she had been thinking too harshly.

Those human bastards, just how badly did they stab her in the back? Sis has gone completely mad...!

It was as she thought that.

─ Please take care of my younger brother.

A few days ago. She recalled the words of the Elemental who had saved her as she was dying when they had attacked the Academy. Rosemary swallowed back a noise.

Just who the hell is this younger brother, you Elemental bitch.

Of course, she didn’t intend to listen as it had been from an Elemental.

For me, sis is the only one.

She had saved her life, after all, and was even the one who had brought her into the Demon Army. No matter how many times she prostrated herself in gratitude, it wouldn’t be enough.

Wait, then is that Elemental also a lifesaver...?

But still, no. Rosemary shook her head. In the meantime, Aether had left the room and was getting ready for something.

Rosemary trotted after her sis.

“Where are you off to, sis?”

“The other Heavens will soon awaken. It’s time to greet them.”

“The other Heavens...?”

The Four Heavens. She had heard of them before. The four highest-ranking commanders who had been in charge of the Demon Army before the formation of the Great Nine Mechas.

She knew that Aether and Jǫrmungandr were one of them. But she had never seen the other two. Curiosity piqued, Rosemary followed Aether.

There, the humanoid Great Mechas including Jǫrmungandr were all gathered. Septimus, Orléans, was... not here. It seemed he did die then.

That’s what you get.

Betrayal warranted divine punishment. Yeah, of course it did!

Jǫrmungandr. Aether and Akasha. Rosemary. Wilhelm who was Tertius, and Quintus Entero. The Cataclysms all sat around the round table.

The middle of the round table had open space. Within it, a red and blue irregular polyhedron were floating in the air.

They were the Lodestone of Fire and Water, respectively.

They had also secured the Lodestone of Earth, but didn’t need it at the moment.

Jǫrmungandr spoke.

“Our immediate goal is to release the two imbeciles who got themselves sealed here during the Great War, which is much easier than reviving the Demon King.”

Jǫrmungandr drew a magic circle around the Lodestones. An oval was made with the two Lodestones as the focus.

“Brat, I leave the details to you.”

Jǫrmungandr called Rosemary and handed her the chalk.

An elliptical magic circle. It was a type of ‘dismantle circle’ that broke seals.

Rosemary filled in the details upon the basic outline. There was no Beast in the world who was better than her at drawing scrolls or magic circles. At most, Aether was the only one who came close.

It could only be so, as Rosemary had worked on nothing but scrolls for hundreds of years. She fell behind with training which made her weak physically, but with outstanding blitz operations using construction circles and multi-person warfare, she was able to rise to the position of Quartus.

“I’ve finished.”

Clack. Rosemary put down the chalk and quirked her lips.

“I will distribute the mana.”

Clunk, clunk! Heavy footsteps resounded in the castle.

A giant the size of two adult males stepped forward with his staff.

No, could that even be called a staff? Who carried a staff on their head in the first place?

Tertius of the Great Nine Mechas–Wilhelm von Schudelgeiger. He took off his hood and put a hand on his head.

Click.

“Cover your ears if you wish.”

Rosemary and Entero plugged their ears. The rest stepped back a little and watched Wilhelm. Wilhelm turned his head more and more, then soon dropped it like he was going to plunge into the magic circle.

Drrrrrrrrrr!

Shells spilled beneath his head. Wilhelm fired the machine gun for a while, then he took his head off and attached it to the flamethrower given to him by the servant who was always with him.

This time, fire burned the magic circle. Red flames flickered near the Lodestone of Fire, and blue flames by the Lodestone of Water.

“What is happening right now?”

Rosemary asked. Akasha answered from next to her.

“It’s a refining process. You know the Goddess made the Lodestones, right? So it has strong Elemental energy. If we weaken it, then the two Heavens will break out of the seal on their own.”

“Aha.”

Rosemary nodded in understanding. The purification process was already finishing up as they were talking.

Voooom! The two Lodestones shone magnificently.

Aether picked up her notebook and took records. 3000, 5000, 7000 degrees. She could use it to make bombs later.

Then in the next moment–

A thick fog settled on the floor like it had during the ‘Steam Rain’. The air was steamy like they were inside a cauldron due to fire and water coming together simultaneously.

The thick fog cleared a while later, and two black forms emerged from it.

“Hihehehe, I thought I was going to die of boredom.”

“It has truly been a long time, my proud soldiers.”

The two men’s voices full of authority.

Gulp. Rosemary swallowed nervously.

Th-these are the Spring and Winter Heavens.......

She could tell just from hearing their voices. These Golden-Eyeds were on par with Aether and Jǫrmungandr.

It was her first time seeing the other two Heavens because Rosemary had been appointed after the Great War. The two men before them had been sealed during the Great War and were now released.

Fwsh, fwsh, fwsh. The three Great Mechas including Rosemary went down on one knee. It was an instinctive move.

Only Aether and Jǫrmungandr casually stood there.

“Hm...? There’s some unfamiliar faces.”

“You are as stupid as always. It’s been that long so wouldn’t there be a generational change?”

The Heaven with pointed ears like an elf stepped forward first. He had silver hair that came down to the waist and was about seven feet tall.

He was quite handsome. A Golden-Eyed, indeed, the superior race with nothing but beauty.

But Rosemary didn’t focus on his face.

“Hehihi, little lady. Are you interested in my arm?”

The man craned his neck strangely and approached Rosemary.

“I am Gilach the Clear Moon. Once a dignified High Elf, now one most superior and noble with the blood of the Golden-Eyed. The King refers to me as Summer Heaven.”

The man, Gilach, held out the part where his arm was for a handshake. But Rosemary had trouble taking it.

Gliach was missing both arms. No, both his arms were hooks.

“The stupid one is you, Gilach. Why would you hold out your handicapped arm to someone you’ve met for the first time.”

Step. Now the other man moved. Ssss, went the sound of something dragging on the floor.

In addition, the surroundings brightened as he walked over.

There was a strange heat, and soon Rosemary was overcome with the feeling of her mana stone boiling.

“I am Pasmo. They call me the ‘Lantern’. I don’t have to explain why, yes?”

A lantern of various colors were floating around Pasmo. The inside of the lantern could be seen, where something that looked like an eyeball was rolling around.

Freaking out, Rosemary whipped her gaze to Pasmo’s face.

About 150 cm tall. Short. Similar to her.

His eyes were wrapped in bandages. Bandages with rag-like texture covered about half the head. A small fedora was sitting on the head that looked like an ironball.

Most of all, the arms.

The arms were disgustingly long. There were four joints, and each part hung separately like some factory-processed meat.

He was wearing handcuffs with chains on his wrists, which seemed to be the sound that they heard a moment ago.

This person would be the remaining Heaven, ‘Spring Heaven’.

“I don’t want to hear that from a blind dwarf who can’t even see. Huhahaha!”

Jǫrmungandr who actually couldn’t see took offense and furrowed her brows.

“Do something about your idiotic laugh, it sounds uglier the more I hear it. And I’m no blind, I merely carry my eyes on the outside.”

“So why do you keep your eyes outside? Look who’s the ugly one.”

“Picking at my words again. I’ve always hated that about you.”

“Huhaha! It seems you want a fight!”

Jǫrmungandr let out a sigh. Aether paused writing in her notebook and clicked her tongue at the sound of their arguing.

This chapter is updat𝓮d by freēnovelkiss.com.

“Ah, there are familiar faces here as well. It has been a while, Autumn and Winter.”

Jǫrmungandr offered a few words in greeting to the Spring and Summer Heavens. On the other hand, Aether put down her notebook and simply waved. Seeing this, Summer Heaven twisted his mouth and spoke.

“Winter, especially. I didn’t expect the lowly street urchin of a human girl to still be at our camp. Wahahaha!”

Gliach laughed heartily.

“Street urchin......?”

Insulting words that came out of nowhere.

“Did you just call sis a street urchin...?”

Rosemary’s face turned hard before Aether.
