C53
When Shirone turned the cover, there was an article written along with an illustration of a female student he believed to be from the Advanced class.
The magazine mainly consisted of trivial stories and incidents, but that was the off-putting part. Someone had put in the work to find all of these things out.
“Wow.”
The most shocking thing was the illustrator's drawing skills. It was as if the drawings were real.
'Is this really done by one person?'
Every time Shirone turned a page, he awed in amazement.
'Why make gossip magazines? With their skill, they could have been a renowned painter.'
Then he saw a familiar figure that made him stop turning the page.
“Huh?”
It was Amy Karmis.
Of course, she wasn't drawn any worse than the others, but what caught Shirone's eye was her daily routine.
The things she did during break and who she ate with, everything was written in detail.
Shirone couldn't find his name.
“They really have nothing to do.”
Shirone felt strange hearing about her daily life in detail through someone else's writing.
Nade read his mind.
“What are you so angry about? She ate with her classmates. She can choose to eat with other male students from the Advanced Class, no?”
Yiruki cackled.
“Can't you tell just from Shiro's personality? I don't think they're even dating. Hey, be honest with me. You guys haven't even held hands yet, right?”
Shirone threw the book he was holding.
“Hmph, mind your own business. Anyways, stop looking into stuff like this. Let's please do something productive. We're still a research group. How can we be like this all day?”
Realizing that studying with them was out of the picture, Shirone decided to find something he could do with his friends.
“If so, why don't we check out Nade's invention? The list of patents of Nade the Wiz.”
Nade leaped to his feet.
“Right! There was that. Alright, Shirone. You will be really surprised, so look forward to it.”
Nade crawled back under the table. Shirone bent down, curious to see what was inside the garbage dump, and was surprised to see a safe concealed among the trash.
“Tada!”
Nade took something out, but nothing was visible to Shirone.
“What?”
Then, when Nade waved his arm, Shirone felt like the area around his hand was wavering based on a certain boundary.
“No way!”
“Haha! Yeah! It's an invisibility cloak!”
An object that refracted light with electrical power and created an illusion that made it seem as if light passed through it.
“You really made it? This?”
Electric magic was often just used for or associated with lighting or electric attacks, but in reality, that field of magic was divided into many more branches and series.
One of them was the illusion branch that dealt with virtual vision. Nade created a magic weapon that had the same effect as the Invisibility magic that caused the transparency effect.
Though it wasn't his original invention, being able to produce the invisible cloak required the ability of an incumbent professional.
“My dream is to become a magic engineer. Of course, compared to those expensive invisibility cloaks out in the market, this is nothing. The material is low quality, and not to mention the charging ability is insufficient. It only lasts an hour. But still, not bad, right?”
Nade put on the cloak. His figure disappeared
The quality of the invisibility cloak depended on the refractive index of light, and if it fell below 95%, it could not be considered invisible anymore. So even a 1% difference was the criterion for determining its technological prowess.
