Science/Magic

Chapter 345: Can’t See Her

Unfortunately, combining golem-making techniques with robotics would not be easy.

Bloed already had a few ideas about how to start, but he probably would need a while to achieve success.

Plus, he would need to expand his knowledge about magic circles if he wanted to give his pets better abilities.

" I guess I should visit the Great Library soon." Bloed murmured to himself.

But then

"Wait a moment, you said the great library?" Diodora asked with a start.

"Mm?"

"You Do you have a way to enter the great library?" The dark-skinned girl asked in excitement. "Is that true!?"

With an excited expression, the dark-skinned girl rushed towards Bloed and tried to grab his shoulders.

But

"What do you think you are doing?"

Regina's ice-cold voice came from behind Bloed and her hands grabbed Diodora's wrists.

"Huh? Oh, S-Sorry, I was a bit excited" Diodora apologized with an embarrassed expression and stepped back, to which Regina snorted and shot her a warning look.

Bloed was a bit puzzled by that.

For some reason, he felt that Regina was behaving a bit too hostile towards the dark-skinned girl.

Well, Regina was usually hostile towards any woman that tried to get too close to him, but he felt as though she was being more hostile than usual this time.

'Is anything wrong?' He put on a puzzled expression. But soon, he decided to stop thinking about it.

It was better to ask Regina about it later.

"I do have a way to enter the great library," Bloed said to Diodora. "However, I fear I can't take you inside if that is what you want."

Even though Bloed could enter the Great Library, it did not mean he could bring someone else with him.

Well, he was confident he could get Headmistress Wave's permission to bring someone else with him if he wanted, but he did not plan to tell Diodora that. At least, not now.

"Is it so?" Diodora sighed disappointedly. "Such a shame. I have been trying to enter the great library for a long time... Anyway, I must say I'm impressed with what I saw here. Just your 'robots' are something I have not seen in this world before."

"Oh? Are you planning to remain in the club then?"

"Most likely. However, I'll probably keep the same relationship I had with the previous club leader. So you should not count on my help during the War of Clubs. But before agreeing, can I see the rest of the tower?"

"Of course. Sara, do you mind accompanying her?"

"Understood, my lord."

Bowing slightly, Sara led Diodora out of the workshop to show her the facilities of the tower.

Once Diodora left, Regina wrinkled her brows. However, she said nothing, just putting a pensive expression.

Meanwhile, Bloed looked at Toby.

"To be honest, Toby, I would like it if you remain in the club."

"Huh?"

"Think about it, you are good at making golems, and you like making them. Don't you think this is the best place to use that talent?"

"That is You are right, however This club is not the same as the golem-making club I don't feel I belong here."

Bloed furrowed his brows. To be honest, he wanted to keep Toby in the club.

Not just because of his talent for making golems, but also due to his identity.

Toby did not have any kind of relationship with Bloed. He was a complete outsider.

Machina Revolutio could not prosper just with Bloed and his friends. He needed people like Toby if he wanted to make it famous through the city.

After thinking for a moment, Bloed had an idea.

"How about it? Are you interested in how my robots are made?"

"Huh?"

"If you want, I can't teach you the basics. You can decide if you want to stay or leave after that."

"!!!"

Toby put on a shocked expression. At the same time, his eyes lit up.

He could not deny he was interested in Bloed's pets since the moment he saw them. And now that he knew they were completely different than normal golems, his interest was even greater.

Soon, though, he put on a complicated expression.

In the end, he could only smile.

" Even so... Okay, I'll agree for now... But after I finish learning that, I hope you don't stop me if I want to leave."

"I won't. Chose a room to stay in then. I'll start teaching you tomorrow."

"Okay. Thank you very much."

After that, Toby left the workshop with a troubled smile.

With Toby gone, only Bloed, Regina, Liu Ying, Gina, and Aya, remained in the workshop.

Not even one minute after Toby left, Liu Ying looked at me.

"Are you truly going to teach him, Bloed?" Liu Ying asked with a frown. "I thought the technique to make robots was very important."

"Don't worry, I'm just going to teach him the basics. Plus, I'm planning to spread this technique to the entire world eventually. I can't do it if I'm afraid of someone learning my secrets."

Of course, Bloed was going to be careful. He would choose carefully what to teach to Toby and what not to.

Let's just wait and see By the way, Regina, what is wrong? You have been frowning since a while ago."

Regina thought for a moment and looked towards the exit of the workshop.

" Master, what do you think of the dark-skinned woman?"

Bloed was startled. Now that he thought about it, he had noticed that Regina was being strangely hostile to her.

"Did you notice something?"

Regina thought for a moment and shook her head.

"I'm not sure. But for some reason, I don't like her."

"Huh?" Bloed and the others were startled.

Bloed then furrowed his brows with a pensive expression. He tried to remember if he saw anything strange about the dark-skinned woman.

Now that he thought about it, though, a lot about her was strange.

Her identity, her strength, the fact that she belonged to several clubs simultaneously.

But he noticed nothing to be wary of.

"Did any of you feel anything strange, Liu Ying, Aya, Gina?"

"Nothing?"

"... No"

I don't think so."

"Strange. Was Regina mistaken then?" Bloed murmured to himself and looked at Regina. Regina, however, was furrowing her brows as though trying to put her finger on something.

"Let me try." Suddenly, Gina spoke up and closed her eyes. Bloed immediately understood that she was trying to use her abilities.

But after several seconds, Gina opened her eyes with a shocked expression.

"My hero, there is something interfering with my abilities!"

Bloed was stunned.

"Do you mean"

"I can't use my abilities on her! No matter how much I try, I can't see her!"
