Magic Mech Wars Steel Torrent-Chapter 52 Rex’s Speculation
Chapter 52 - 52 Rex's Speculation
The next day.
The academy also released the result of the duel between Su Lian and Conny. After their discussion, they determined that Su Lian's one-sided whipping behavior was excessive. However, due to the precondition of a battle against a higher-ranked opponent, and the fact that the battle ended with Su Lian
only using a single explosive step combat technique, Conny's extremely weak combat ability was the main reason.
In addition, since the incident was caused by Conny provoking trouble first, Su Lian's application for the duel was also reasonable, and Conny agreed to it on the spot.
Therefore, the punishment for Su Lian was only a verbal warning that he should not do it again next time.
Basically, the attitude of the academy could be understood as that after the fight, everything was fine, and classes continued as usual.
...
In the classroom.
The way the surrounding classmates looked at Su Lian had completely changed.
Today, he deliberately sat in the most corner position of the last row. Jozandi was also too embarrassed to sit next to him today, and naturally Nalin wouldn't keep sitting next to him either. So she simply sat by the window with Jozandi.
Su Lian felt the surrounding gazes but didn't care too much.
On the contrary, Conny had taken a leave of absence and didn't come today. The absence of that annoying guy made him feel a little more comfortable, and he hoped that Conny would never come back in the future.
"Hey, do you think Lian could be the child of some powerful adventurer? He doesn't seem to be worried about Conny's revenge at all."
"I don't know. He didn't talk to people much before, and we could hardly see him on a regular basis."
"I heard that he's either in the library or in the research room and other places usually. He's a complete study maniac."
"Ah? Then why does he skip so many magic courses?"
"Who knows? Anyway, he seemed to have good grades in the previous small tests."
The discussions among the classmates basically began to revolve around Su Lian, and it should be like this for a while.
Su Lian's heart stirred slightly.
Has he already been rumored to be an adventurer successfully? It seems that yesterday's performance had a good effect.
This Polaris Academy is indeed worthy of being one of the three top special-level academies in the kingdom. Treating a noble in such a way with a commoner's identity can even be regarded as a duel between two people of equal status. He had thought that Uncle Ryan would need to negotiate, but it save
d a lot of trouble.
There shouldn't be any problem with the academy. After that, he just needs to wait for the news from Grandpa and the others about Duke Alfred. Whether it's cooperation or confrontation depends on the other party's attitude.
...
"Student Lian." Rex came over at this time.
"What's the matter?" Su Lian asked.
"Are you from a powerful adventurer's family?" Rex asked, and his tone seemed a bit nervous.
"Is there anything important?" Su Lian retorted.
He could naturally sense Rex's nervousness. Obviously, Rex didn't come just out of simple curiosity. There should be something else going on.
"Um..." Rex looked around.
He confirmed that they were in a corner position. In a semi-circular stepped classroom, as long as others sat a bit farther away, they couldn't really hear their conversation clearly.
"Then are you a noble?" Rex asked.
"Oh?" Su Lian suddenly became interested: "How did you figure that out?"
After yesterday's incident, almost everyone was guessing whether Su Lian was the child of that powerful adventurer because of his attitude of looking down on the nobles' behavior style and combat method. Rex actually had a different idea.
"Maybe my thinking is a bit strange, but during the last practical drill, I felt that you seemed to be more adapted to actual combat. But I've also met many adventurers. After all, my family hires them to transport goods and such. But I feel that your style in the forest is different from theirs." Rex said.
"Go on." Su Lian said.
Wind magic, beginner level - Sound Disturbance.
A low-level magic spell with weak fluctuations.
Accompanied by the magic that Su Lian released without incantation on his own initiative, Rex was first slightly surprised, and then his eyes lit up.
"You skipped almost all the magic courses, but your scores in the previous tests were very stable, so stable that it seemed like you deliberately got just a little more points.
"So I thought... Have you learned all of this before?"
"I was watching when you had the duel yesterday. I was also trying to learn in advance the magic that Conny wanted to release. So I felt that you seemed to know very well the time and state needed for incantation. When you knocked his staff away, you also interrupted the magic power that he was prep
aring to transfer to the staff through his arm, right?"
Rex asked. He wasn't really sure either.
"That's right, because I know how to do all of it." Su Lian said with a faint smile.
Did he guess it right!?
Rex suddenly felt inspired with confidence!
"And regarding the magic disaster, when you saved Jozandi and destroyed the rampaging elemental magic power, it was also obvious that you knew how to directly destroy it. Only a very experienced warrior or mage could know this, but you don't seem to be the former." Rex continued.
"So you think that I have actually studied and that I'm still a very powerful mage?"
"Indeed, those who can learn magic at a very young age are generally from the noble class, but there's no problem with the adventurer identity either, right?"
"Did you make such a judgment just based on your performance in the forest?"
Su Lian continued to ask.
He was already very surprised that Rex could guess that he was actually a mage.
"So I'm just speculating..." Rex said this and felt a bit discouraged.
He couldn't guess anything else.
...
Su Lian looked at Rex.
This guy, who now had the same appearance as his age but was actually just a twelve-year-old child in his eyes, had already done a great job in guessing so much.
"Then what do you want to ask?" Su Lian asked.
"Um... You..." Rex seemed a bit hesitant.
"Just ask directly." Su Lian said.
"Are you... surnamed... Suman?" Rex asked nervously in a low voice.
"Oh?" Su Lian was really surprised this time.
This little guy is not bad. Should I say that he's really quiet and introverted but has a flexible mind, or that he has the intuition of a merchant?
I only made an appearance in Peter Holy Domain the day before yesterday. There's no Internet or anything like that in this world. Even if the news about the "Prince Esha"'s reform spreads quickly, Rex shouldn't have heard the name Suman Liandel recently, so he shouldn't have directly associated it w
ith this.
Moreover, there are so many children in the royal family. I almost never showed up before. Maybe even my cousins don't necessarily remember my name, and he should know even less.
Did he just happen to guess among the nobles bigger than that guy Conny and think of the connection between the single-syllable "Su" and "Suman"?
However...
"That's enough." Su Lian smiled.
"Ah?" Rex didn't understand.
What's enough?
"Your family's business association is the Bloomer Business Association in Kexufno City, right? The business association mainly dealing with clothing, accessories, and cosmetics?" Su Lian roughly recalled.
"Yes." Rex nodded.
How does he know so clearly what my family does? My family's business association is very small.
"This Saturday at 3 p.m., ask your father to go to table No. 7 on the open-air floor of Ainai Hotel and tell him that Suman Liandel wants to discuss a business deal with him." Su Lian took out a self-made metal business card from his magic ring and said.
Suman Liandel?
He's really from the royal family! Then is he a prince or...
Rex was excited inside and tried hard to recall this name, but he couldn't remember where this name came from for a moment. There was no way. Before, Su Lian was almost invisible in the noble circle.
"Stay calm and go back to your seat. It's about to start the class." Su Lian patted Rex on the shoulder and said.
"Okay!" Rex nodded.

Although he couldn't remember which royal family member this name belonged to, he very clearly knew that the weight of the business card he took over was much heavier than the metal itself!
...
Su Lian watched him return to his seat and began to have new plans in his heart.
Money is something that one will never have too much of.
The concept of luxury goods in this world is still in its initial stage. Although I asked Grandpa about the business associations in this aspect that he was familiar with, he didn't give a very good evaluation, so I put it aside for now.
Rex, although introverted, is also a very smart boy.
Maybe I can let his family have a try. It just so happens that he will take over after it takes shape.
Let's give it a try and see if my superficial concept of luxury goods from the previous world can be used to make a fortune in this world.
...
Soon, this little episode disappeared with the start of the class.
Today is Tuesday. For these freshmen in Polaris Academy, the class arrangement is that they can go to consult the academy teachers about the questions they are interested in the afternoon. In simple terms, it's self-study time, but teachers will be arranged to stay in the office and other places wai
ting for students to ask questions and such.
However, this situation is generally rare. Most students of this age, once they have so-called self-study time, will go and play.
Of course, this doesn't include Su Lian.
The office of Professor Bunian from the Alchemy Department.
"Teacher, do you have a moment?" Su Lian knocked gently on the door.
"Do you have a question? Wait for a while." Bunian was purifying a piece of alchemical metal with magic power. It should be something he just researched.
"Okay." Su Lian found a place to sit down.
After Bunian finished, Su Lian got up and stepped forward.
"Is it an alchemy question or something else?" Bunian asked.
"An alchemy question, about metal materials." Su Lian said.
"Okay, sit here. Your name is Su Lian, right?" Bunian asked. He still had an impression of Su Lian.
After all, Su Lian was a student who was judged to be missing and possibly dead during the magic disaster, and he also asked him a question about a "dangerous" idea in class.
"What's the question this time? I won't provide you with ideas for that potion bomb or something. I remember that clearly." Bunian said first.
"Indeed, it's a dangerous thing. The metal materials are naturally not for making that." Su Lian also first dispelled Bunian's concerns.
"Then go ahead." Bunian said.
"I want to know what are the metals with the highest quality, hardness, and strength that can be manufactured by alchemy in the current world. The highest level that can be mass-produced, and the highest level that can only be manufactured by extremely powerful means." Su Lian asked.
In his previous life, it was tungsten alloy, but there's no such thing in this world. The basic metal elements are only gold, silver, copper, iron, and so on.
"Do you want to forge a weapon? Weapon forging is not just about the strength of the metal. It also needs to include properties, the compatibility with battle qi, and even the compatibility with magic. Pure physical hardness and strength are just a stronger iron block." Bunian said directly.
"Just consider me as being simply curious. I don't plan to change my weapon in the near future." Su Lian said.
"Um..."
Bunian thought back.
"For the regular mass-production aspect, to meet the requirements of high quality, high strength, and high hardness at the same time, it should be the Anteyi metal, the Luoluoge metal, and the Zijiao Black Gold invented by the dwarf alchemists.
"For those that can only be obtained by specialized means..."
"It should be the Verobu metal, which was accidentally invented by the goblin race when they were developing knight armor and which they called the useless ultimate iron block."
Verobu metal.
