Though the first thought that ca to his mind was that it was a lab, that wasn’t completely true.
On second thought, the appropriate word would be a chatronic Engineering Lab.
The classes were divided into booths, each booth holding about three seats and a large, incomplete cha Module, along with a lot of robotic arms with ends ending in screws and welding gadgets hanging over each booth.
A glance revealed that each booth was working on a completely different ch Module design.
"After about a month of general classes of theory, we were divided into threes and assigned to booths where we tried to design a full ch Module from the ground up."
"These are so of the students’ ch Module creations, and as you can see, they’re only half-complete," the purple-haired lady explained, clearing his confusion.
"Guess I’m quite back on a lot of stuff," he mused quietly.
"Yes. You are," she replied, walking deeper into the hall.
"You got the theory notes, which you have to understand well before getting assigned to a booth and then a test before you get into a booth."
"So, yeah, quite a lot." She soon disappeared into one of the booths.
Everlearn didn’t follow; instead, walking to the side, silently observing each booth.
"It’s quite serious stuff," he muttered to himself, pausing before a few booths as his eyes narrowed at them.
The majority of them were incomplete, but so he could already make the shape of their final results.
And he quickly noticed that many of these half-complete ch Modules were mostly attack modules in one way or another.
And all of them were most likely X-Grades.
If one wanted to build for W-Grades, it required advanced materials and chanisms that even Everlearn only theoretically understood.
But the hall was large, almost the size of a mini-stadium. Perhaps, if he walked deeper, he would find more advanced creations?
The more booths he looked at, the more his heart pounded.
He was pleased that the second year focused on practical applications instead of overwhelming students with excessive information like the first year.
This was exactly the kind of thing he needed to improve his knowledge of ch Designing.
Here, he could finally work his fingers on so real tech and maybe build so of the things that were only ideas in his head.
Since the booths were already assigned to each student, Everlearn didn’t sit in any of them.
He would just be taking another person’s seat.
So instead, he took one of the single seats at the front of the class and waited.
As the lady ntioned, students really didn’t start arriving until 7:00, and by 7:30, the classroom was full.
Surprisingly, the students didn’t have to wait for the instructor before they resud work on the ch Modules they were handling.
There was decorum, with the only sounds being those of operating gadgets.
At 7:35, an instructor clad in an ocean-blue lab coat stepped in.
He was a short man, just about 1.6 ters, bald, but with a full white beard, wearing one of those ancient one-eyed spectacles.
He walked forward to the front of the class, his eyes occasionally pausing on so students, observing their actions, before eventually sighting Everlearn.
"Oh," he mused beneath his breath, walking toward Everlearn, who rose from his seat.
The man wore his one-eyed spectacle on his right side, as he brought out what looked like a pen that gently poked at Everlearn’s face and ears.
"I haven’t seen you before, lad."
He said as Everlearn brushed away the poking pen.
"Instructor Oirilern, I’m Everlearn, and I just got promoted to the 2nd year yesterday." The instructor blinked twice before a brilliant flicker crossed through his eyes.
"Oh, of course. Everlearn Snowfall, correct ?" he said, and Everlearn nodded.
"That’s correct, Instructor."
"Good, good. The news has been passed to the instructors."
"A sudden promotion like that is quite rare, yet here you are, and even the principal spoke well of you, saying you’re a good lad."
He praised, and Everlearn scratched the back of his head while chuckling lightly.
║Good lad, my ass.║The panel blinked, and he smiled wryly.
"Walk with . You have quite a lot to catch up on," the man said, walking back toward the booths.
Everlearn witnessed a black staff sliding from the instructor’s sleeve into his hand as he stepped forward.
He silently followed, just a step behind him.
The other students in the booths had no ti to look at the instructor or Ryuk.
Each of them was ultra-focused on the ch Module they were working on as if their life depended on it.
"You know, I’m quite surprised," Instructor Oirilern said, giving him a side glance as he calmly continued forward.
"I expected one reported to be very exceptional in combat to be more fitted for the Corer Defense Institute."
He said, and his words indeed made sense.
"If I may, what brought you to ch Design? Fascination, perhaps?" he asked Everlearn.
"That’s closer to the truth," Everlearn replied.
While his initial failure at excelling in being a Corer was what led him to ch Designing, years of studying had given him an in-depth fascination with the world of ch Design, and that fascination had sustained him up until this point.
So yes... fascination was indeed close to the truth.
"With many focusing on being a Corer, only branching into ch Designing due to failure to excel, I’m elated to find one as talented as a Corer choosing ch Designing.
"If there were more with such a mindset and fascination, I can already see the abyss of progress that would open up for the future of ch Design."
