‘Where’s the prince? The lab?’ea7bfe4952375445

When did he change into pajamas? And he wasn’t in the lab but in his bedroom. He had no memory of when or how he got there.aba5b69ae97a412e

The semi-transparent cylindrical c86434c1a8 pajamas were dorm-issued. For Larry, who only e880583134 moved into the dorms 345e695af6 in his final year, 54c2e5099b it was an unfamiliar 2e30550ebe outfit.

Though it was a lofty dream for someone in his position, Larry didn’t dislike his home just because he had good dreams every night. After all, he only dreamt of the prince there.c6991c2fde1d79e9

So when he had to move, he was deeply saddened, fearing he might never dream of the prince again. Especially since the “academy” had never appeared in his dreams before. And he hadn’t dreamt of the prince here either.bf129c945604acac

Unlike most educators who focus on nurturing future generations after stepping back from the front lines, all Magical Engineering professors were active engineers. It wasn’t that none retired, but the career span was long, so many remained active even as they aged. Few had the exceptional skills to teach, and those who left significant achievements were even rarer.a6f5faf6f6b76d54

Perhaps that’s why, though they held the title of “professor,” they differed from the usual image.84527ccb61104b8c

There were many 1ffe3a436f differences, but Larry 731041ff75 first noted their 177e430a1c attitude as professors. They were rarely a5aa3620f9 at school.94a0dad03fbdd095

Regardless of their feelings toward students or their passion for teaching, Magical Engineering professors left as soon as their tasks, including classes, were done. They returned to the “field” where they worked.3d2c86d14a319f2b

In some ways, Larry understood. “Magical Engineering” combined magic and technology, but the actual work involved identifying necessary items and machines in the field and inventing the technology to implement them.a59345066d475088

His decision d83988c983 was quick. Still looking glum, Larry 5a1e118951 rummaged through his robe 0a364e4c71 sleeve and pulled out a80d31b891 a small, flat glass a1fceeeec8 pad.dc1bc1c518fabba5

A rectangular pad slightly 8f730c26e9 smaller than his index 639cb64675 finger. Despite its c69467a5f8 appearance, it 51755a0db1 was a c4664dd95f highly functional f54c87b152 pager.

In the center of 77d65a1f42 the thin glass plate, a4a2dae95e numbers 1 to 0 b0f4dd8106 were engraved in white, ca4dec47e0 divided into two rows. If you felt it dc1de084ca with your fingerprint, there 7aafc57522 was a subtle raised 0c611afd16 texture.47a261b179e391c8

Using it was simple. You injected a small amount of mana to activate the pad, then moved the mana along the circuit on the back to input the desired numbers. You mainly entered the recipient’s code, as the sender’s was automatically displayed due to each pad’s unique code.0e2441e7f67dc397
