Wallace was alarmed by the sudden voice he heard out of nowhere. He focused his mind to make sure he had not misheard.

Unsurprisingly, he heard it asking again after a minute without giving an answer.

-Would you like to activate Pathfinder tool?

A lot of things happened in his life and has advanced science knowledge imprinted on his genes. But he couldn't determine how or when did something assimilate with him. Yes, he could feel that the one asking question to him was something attached to his body but it's not. He couldn't explain the connection it has on him.

At the very least, he could somehow feel that it would not threaten his life.

For now, he don't know what will happen if he agreed. So he cautiously answered.

"Would it be possible to open it later?"

-Affirmative.

That is what it said but Wallace had no idea how he would call it out again. He closed his eyes briefly and after he felt the connection to that unknown voice, he stopped dazing around as class was about to start.

He hurried to the academy and headed to his classroom. He relaxed after noticing that there's still about 10 minutes before the class would start so he chatted a bit with his friends and asked about their vacation.

There's 30 student in the classroom and 10 other classes that mainly study Artifact Forging. They are all being groomed to be Magic Engineers.

Wallace is a second year student in the First Class - Moon, a gathering of talented rookies aspiring to be Magic Engineer in the future. It could be said that Wallace is doing well on the class being an average performer. His less average mana affinity did not affect his mana artifact process in the mean time as they were mainly producing 2nd or 3rd gen artifact. Making 4th gen artifact was done in a group and 5th gen is a whole different story.

Apparently, artifact forging consumes a lot of mana in the process including the difficult way of embedding mana array in the artifact. They were not only creating the artifact but also programming the device itself.

"Wallace, did you hear about what happened to Sheryl the Frost Queen?"

His friend Gilbert asked in a soft voice. He's one of his close friends in the academy. He adjusted his eyeglasses when he asked this, he is one of those dedicated student in magic structuring.

Although it was not a secret, Gilbert chose to be discreet when gossiping hence his low voice. Wallace remembered that Sheryl is a 2nd year student of First Class - Sun.


Their academy offer 2 pathways as a magician. The Moon Class which has 10 classes that study mana artifact forging and Sun Class which has 30 classes that allows student to focus on mana usage. This class mainly studies extreme mana control that can be used for combat with or even without the help of mana artifact. They were being taught from old way to the latest form of using mana.

After all, by possessing a mana artifact doesn't mean that you can utilize the embedded magic without proper training. Invoking magic isn't as simple as triggering a gun. It needed calculating power of human brain. By studying in the academy, they will not only be taught on how to use all the mainstream mana artifact but also to have a very stable foundation from using low gen to latest gen artifacts.

"I know her. She was featured in top 100 rookie magicians after all. What happened to her?"

Wallace was a bit curious as well. He remembered the list of top 100 that came from a magazine - "The Fortune in Magic" but this can be easily found in the internet as well.

Aside from that, Wallace remembered Sheryl not only as a student at Sun Class but also because she was a school belle. She was an attractive teenager with blonde hair and blue eyes. She was a member of the illustrious Vermont Family, a military family who has adapted Red Frost VI Artifact as their main mana artifact weapon. They were popular in a way as their brilliance in using the artifact made them one of the powerful clan.

Unfortunately, this artifact was only available for the family. The Magic Engineer who made it only allowed members of Vermont lineage to utilize the artifact, which was commonly being done by the powerful family. And of course, they were able to license it without any problem from the government as their private magic structure. These powerful family or people with connection in the higher up can easily have their artifact magic structure privately. But bear in mind that the thing that the government tightly control were the magic structure or the main program of the artifact.

The component itself of the artifact doesn't have too many stringents as long as you don't use dangerous materials in making it. Only the most sensitive part of artifact, which is the magic structure has rigorous requirement because the structure itself is the one connecting with Magicians mind to control the mana. This very sensitive part of artifact was being closely monitored by the government not only to control it but to protect the magicians themselves.

This is to safeguard the magicians from going crazy, out of control or even from death in severe cases of unrefined magic structure.

Only mana artifact and magic structure that has passed the strict standard of National Magic Trade and Industry can be used by magicians. Of course, you may use those that didn't passed NMTI but if you used unlicensed magic structure in your mana artifact, you can only blame yourself if something uncanny happened to you. The government will not help you.

The standard process of registering your artifact in NMTI would be a long process and you will even have to reveal everything. The Red Frost VI of Vermont Family was focused on ice element usage, the magic engineer who created it has quiet an aesthetic as he forged the artifact to create a crimson ice.

It has its uniqueness as the ice magic this artifact could create will not only freeze the victim but also burn them inside and most surprisingly, the people that has already been affected by Red Frost VI can be healed by the same user. It was such a complicated magic that will challenge any magic engineer.

"Yes, that is the Frost Queen. It seems like she would like to transfer to our curriculum. And if that is true, do you think she will be our classmate?"

You could hear excitement in Gilbert's voice as he asked.

"Why would she even transfer?"
