Chapter 759 Selling Rocket Fuel?
?Arad gave the liquid hydrogen bottle to Gojo and pulled a second one for himself, alongside a new set of oxygen bottles. "Let's send it." Sparks of fire flashed from Gojo's finger as Arad did the same and both of them fire [Fire bolt]s
As the spells impacted the ground, they flashed with a bright light, growing into a massive blue rose of fire, followed by a booming impact and a shockwave that blasted the teachers running toward Arad and Gojo's location.
"What did you do?!" The teachers managed to reach them as the dust settled.
"Testing components." Arad replied.
"No component would do this!" A teacher growled, and Lucia tried to stop him. From what she saw from Arad, she could believe his words.
"Want to try it?" Gojo approached them, smiling. "My little brother is an impressive alchemist."
"I still have more." Arad pulled two bottles, one of oxygen and one of hydrogen, and gave them to the teacher. "Use them as any standard bottled component."
"Aron." Gojo said, pointing at Lucia. "Give her a pair as well. She wants to try it."
"Really." Arad looked at Lucia and handed her a pair.
"How many did you make?" She gasped. Unlike the other teacher, she was expecting those bottles to work and was scared that Arad had made multiple of such a terrifying weapon in a short amount of time. Unknown to her, Arad was already mass-producing hydrogen and oxygen.
The oxygen is mass-produced by Doma and Aisha, who are flying above the sea with a Gemini clone of him, and he's here creating oxygen with the void inside his stomach. He intends on bottling it up and using it to arm his wives and party, including the thousands of vampire spawns inside of him.
"Use a fire bolt. That's what was used, and we don't know how much bigger an explosion a stronger spell would make." Gojo pointed out that he created a barrier in front of the teachers. Their spells can fly through, but after that, it'll protect them from the blast.
Lucia and the teacher pointed their hands out and fired the spells, causing a massive explosion akin to what Arad and Gojo did, proving that the power was from the component that Arad made. And not from Gojo going crazy again.
"This is…" The teacher looked at his shaking hands. "Such power, it'll deserve an academic book." He turned toward Arad. "Aron, you've created a military-grade weapon. No, it's probably stronger than that."
Lucia started sweating. She wants to blame Gojo and send him to the director's office. All to hide what Arad made. With such power, teacher Ragnar clearly wants to get the method out of Arad, and make and probably resell the component to the kingdoms of the world under the university's name, like most researches are published.
"Ragnar, it'll be dangerous to involve a student with such a matter. We should keep a secret for now, or at least until the end of the year." Lucia tried to speak, but Ragnar ignored her and approached Arad.
"We should get to work right away. How did you make it, what equipment was needed?" Ragnar started talking with an excited face. "No, this isn't the place for this. Let's head to labs and write it down."
Arad looked at him for a second. "No. I'm not writing it down." He said. ^I'm using a fake name. I needed an absurd amount of gravity magic to compress air and also Aisha's skill and one of Doma's curses to purify it. And that other bottle is made straight from my void, I can't tell them how I made it without telling them I'm a void dragon.^
"No, you don't understand how important this is. You don't have a choice other than to write it down, it must be written. When kingdoms hear about this, they'll hunt you down for the knowledge. It's better to write in the university's name to protect yourself." Ragnar tried to convince Arad.
Arad started thinking, but he wasn't considering Ragnar's suggestion, he was interpreting it to make his own decision.
"If they want it, I'll sell it to them." Arad smiled.
"Yo! That's right." Gojo smiled, "But what about me?" Gojo was also the king of his own country that humans live in, his military would benefit a lot from such a weapon.
"Of course, you'll get it for free. Take as much as you want." Arad smiled.
"Nah, I'll pay for it…or at least what I can't make. Does that seem fair?" Gojo lifted a finger.
^Brother should be able to make the second one with his void…
but he doesn't have Aisha or Doma to purify the air.^ Arad pulled two bottles.
"You can make this on your own." He shook the hydrogen bottle. "But I doubt you can make something as clean as this." He shook the oxygen bottle.
"Got it." Gojo smiled, "I'll pay for this one then." He pointed at the oxygen bottle.
"No, two students can't be here selling weapons to whoever comes." Ragnar growled. "You have to write it down. It's not something that you can just leave."
Ragnar started getting irritated, and angry the more Arad refused. He got so enraged that he started screaming at Arad's chest, he wasn't tall enough to reach his face.
Lucia tried to stop Ragnar, but couldn't, he kept going back to Arad and screaming his lungs out, trying to convince him, even though it was clearly backfiring badly.
"No means no." Arad sighed. "The fact you're screaming means you have a weak argument, come back when you have something useful to say." He turned toward Lucia.
"We'd like to test more components and judging by this…" As Arad was speaking with her, Ragnar got between them and started screaming once again, spitting nonsense alongside his spit everywhere.
Arad lifted his foot, kicking Ragnar in the groin, and then punched him in the face, sending him drifting on the ground, unconscious. "Sorry, my hand slipped. If you want it, then pay up. I already paid for the school, so anything I learn or make here is mine. Not that the university had anything to do with those components, we're only been here for three days, hardy enough to teach anything of use."
Lucia gasped seeing Ragnar knocked cold on the ground.
"See, it's your fault for screaming a lot." Gojo sat beside him and started poking him with a stick that he found.
As Lucia was about to start panicking about how to handle this, a fat brown owl flew down, landing at the tree beside them. Everyone turned around, and Gojo smiled. "A familiar!"
"It has a lot of magic, it's not a normal bird. What's a familiar." Arad looked at the owl.
"That's the chairman's familiar." Lucia started at the owl with sweat dripping across her forehead. "Chairman, what do you want?"
"Aron and Jogo are called to my office. Jogo for causing a second massive explosion after being told not to, and Aron for assault on a teacher. Immediately-boo! Immediately-boo! Immediately-boo!" The owl flew away, leaving them standing there.
"Who's the chairman?" Arad looked at Lucia.
"The university is divided into sectors, and each sector is divided into departments. A director rules a department, a headmaster rules a sector, and the chairman is the one standing at the top of the university. Just…be careful around her…"
Arad and Gojo looked at each other and then went to see the chairman.
But upon walking into the office, they found a little girl with long ears sitting on the desk crosslegged with her white hair reaching all the way to her knees.
"I'm the high halfling, Betty the flash. Nice to meet you. We're called hobbits in some parts of the world if you don't know half of what is a halfling." She giggled, staring at them with her glowing, diamond-like eyes.
^This magic? It's like hers...^
