The Magician Kunon sees everything - Chapter 76

“Oh, my God! Why are you here!”, she said from the entrance.

 

“No, no, no, wait, wait! This is really something!”

and affirms Kunon’s idea emphatically.

 

If they are aiming in the same direction, it is easy for them to get to know each other.

This was the second encounter between Kunon and Sandra.

When Kunon was invited to participate in an experiment on “how to breathe in water,” he accepted with two words of encouragement.

The experiment was to begin immediately.

 

The woman who invited me to join her was the water attribute Yucita of the “rational faction”.

She is also the leader of this experiment, and she guided us to the underground facility that is the base of “rational faction”.

 

This underground facility was originally an artificial dungeon.

Whatever it was, it was built a long time ago to explore the mechanism of natural dungeons.

 

　After that experiment was finished, the decision was made to reuse the place, partly due to the request of some magicians who liked the dark and dank place.

It now became a base for the “rational faction”.

 

Before the reuse, though, it was a real dungeon.

 

Now there are four more entrances and exits, and the walls that were once corridors have been destroyed and turned into several rooms.

As such, the first three floors have been remodeled to facilitate activities.

 

The walls and ceilings are slightly bright and air-conditioned.

The place is so unlike an underground facility that one almost forgets that it is underground.

 

– However, the “rational faction” uses only up to the third basement floor. After that, there are many mysteries, and not even detailed documents remain after the 13th floor.

 

It is said that up to the 41st level underground, there are some documents in the form of spilling stories, but their authenticity is doubtful.

There is no information beyond that point.

 

Occasionally, what sounds like moans and groans can be heard coming from the basement.

 

But basically, they ignore it.

 

They have accepted the fact that this is the place to be, and have made it their base of operations for generations.

That is quite bold.

 

“Aah!”

 

The room to which we were led was a small hall, although the passageway looked a bit like a maze, a remnant of the dungeon days.

Like a classroom in a school building, it was an empty room that could be rented once the research was decided.

 

As soon as we entered there, a woman had already raised her voice.

 

It was Sandra.

 

“Why are you here?”

She suddenly greeted me.

 

“We decided by majority vote yesterday!”

“Don’t tell me what to do now!”

“Credits! Credits!”

 

As soon as she snapped at Kunon, those around her snapped back at Sandra.

“-Stop it, Sandra! If you ask me whether I would take Kunon or Sandra, I’ll take Kunon without hesitation!”

 

Even Yucita, who had brought Kunon with her, complained to Sandra.

 

“Who cried for me to do something because I haven’t gotten a single credit yet!?”

 

“….Oh, it’s me.”

 

“You promised to listen to our instructions and not complain, didn’t you!?”

 

“I did…..”

 

“Then what’s the line you’re going to say now?”

 

“Shall I go to …… and buy some bread?”

 

No, you don’t! You’re going to apologize to Mr. Kunon, aren’t you? He came all the way here!”

 

“…..I’m sorry.”

Sandra apologized.

 

This is the power of the experimental leader, Kunon thought.

 

Well, whatever.

 

“I want the credit, too, and I’d appreciate it if you could be patient with me for a while. But you look so dainty with your grumpy face. Like a Nemophila. Do you know the language of flowers? I’d like you to look it up and see. It’s my true heart. Well, you can’t see it.”

 

By the way, the flower Nemophila is pretty.

 

“……this guy is as scary as ever……”

 

Sandra was afraid of Kunon’s lightheartedness.

 

She is generally a judge of people based on whether they are friend or enemy, and she has a hard time with people she doesn’t know which side to classify as friend or enemy.

 

-After greeting and meeting each other, they decided to start the experiment.

 

It is a large one-room laboratory.

There is only a minimum of what is needed, and it will probably be prepared according to the experiment.

 

For this experiment, a large water tank is set up in the center of the room.

This would be used for the “how to breathe in water” experiment.

 

There were four participants, including Sandra and Yucita.

With Kunon added, there were five people, consisting of two boys and three girls.

 

Kunon was a little excited when he was told that all of them were water-based.

 

Although it had only been a few days since he entered the school, he had been doing experiments and research for some time.

However, there had never been any experiments related to water among the water attribute students.

 

If anything, this is the first time I’ve done anything with a water-based magician since Professor Genie.

 

“We’re still in the early stages of formulating an opinion, Kunon, but how do you think we can breathe in water? Just think of a rough pattern that comes to your mind.” Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”

 

Kunon crosses his arms in response to Yucita’s question.

 

“I think I can come up with about four patterns that come to mind.”

 

“What? Four?”

 

According to him, the four members of the team tried to gather their wits and came up with three ideas.

 

“So, does one feel like you have a different idea than everyone else?”

“That would be interesting.”

Kunon nodded. That would certainly be interesting.

 

“It’s a lie, anyway.”

 

“Stop it.”

 

After all that complaining, Sandra is still not happy about Kunon’s participation.

 

“What’s the point of lying now, they’ll find out soon enough, won’t they? It’s you, Nemophila.”

“……”

Silencing a disgruntled Sandra, Kunon raises his fingers and raises his thoughts.

 

First idea: Wearing a “water ball”.

The way to get into the water is to go into the water with the air.

 

Second, connect your mouth and nose to the surface of the water.

In other words, to connect the ground and the water with a long, thin tube.

 

The third method is to create a magical device that produces air and puts it in the mouth.

 

“The third is just an idea that came to mind. It would take too much time to develop it now.”

 

The members of the rational faction nodded.

 

“I see. Is it possible or not?”

 

“No, I guess. To be honest, I am doing this experiment because I want to get credit for it, so I don’t want it to take too much time. I don’t want it to take too long, and I don’t want it to be labor intensive. Ideally, it should be easy to do.”

 

Yucita’s words were her true feelings, which she could not say even if she wanted to.

But I understand how she feels.

 

If I can get credits without spending too much time, there is nothing better than that.

 

“You are an honest person. I think I’ve discovered something new about you.”

 

“Ha ha …… thanks.”

 

Kunon’s words sounded sarcastic. Yucita thought it was indeed sarcastic.

 

“Well, let’s try something quick, shall we? Since there are so many people of the water attribute gathered here, we might be able to go with a slightly more aggressive method.”

 

“I think that’s probably the fourth one that hasn’t gone up. What kind?”

 

“We’re going to make land in the water.”

 

“What kind of land ……?”

 

There seems to be a question mark floating around in the heads of all four of them.

 

“Let’s give it a try.”

 

Kunon stepped forward and stood in front of the tank.

 

“- Like this, you make bubbles that trap air, and then you sink them into the water as you go down…….”

 

The many bubbles that Kunon creates sink deeper and deeper into the tank.

 

“Make them become one with each other…….”

 

The bubbles stick to each other at the end of the sinking process.

They stick together and become one big bubble, bigger and bigger.

 

“…… and it looks like this.”

 

“- Oh ……!”

 

Air in the water goes up.

Defying this conventional wisdom, the bubbles created by Kunon sank, creating a layer of air under the tank.

 

Yes, this is land.

Land was created in the water.

 

“This may be out of place as a “way to breathe underwater,” but in a broader sense, it’s probably not wrong either.”

 

“If this is the way to do it, we can try it right away, can’t we? It takes five people and doesn’t require any tools. It’s easy.”

 

“It sure looks doable, but can we get credits for it…..?”

 

To Yucita’s murmur, the members of “Rational Faction” replied, “Probably not.”

 

Unfortunately, because the method is too easy, it seems doubtful that the teachers will appreciate it.

 

Bubbles sinking in water.

It’s a pretty advanced technique, but I haven’t noticed it.

 

But…

 

“No, no! Wait! Wait! This is really cool!”

Sandra was excited.

 

“I’d much rather be able to walk on the bottom of the water than to only breathe underwater! You can observe both the water and the bottom up close! Why don’t you get it? Why aren’t people paying attention to this? Right?”

“Pickups….”

Kunon was shocked to be called a gentleman.

 

“Why didn’t you, the one who came up with the idea, get it too?”

 

Kunon was shocked to hear that he had been called a gentleman, and not a gentleman at all.

 

No one was really getting it, and some might even ask, “Why is Sandra so excited? Is she hungry and frustrated?”

 

For Sandra, it was a very angry face.

 

“Listen guys! Let me tell you something more realistic!”

 

Sandra, who also has the face of an adventurer, spoke in an adventurous manner.

 

“For example! I’m talking about going to pick up treasure from a shipwreck at the bottom of the sea!”

 

Yes.

From this statement, the direction of the experiment changed dramatically.

 

It evolved from a simple experiment that just wanted credits to a major project involving a large number of people.

 

“…Pickups……”

 

Kunon, however, was not satisfied with the project and was depressed for a while. Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”
