I have a Synthesizer

"Then let's go now. It's getting late, and there's another train to the Western Territory at 3 PM."

Klein nodded. Regardless of whether this mission made money or not, he at least couldn't tarnish the reputation of the Jay Society.

"Okay, Professor McKinley, let us help you with your luggage."

Among these first-year students, except for two rich kids, most of them didn't have space rings, so they had to carry their luggage themselves.

Actually, this was quite normal. Even Klein only got his own space ring after joining the Jay Society and being promoted to the second rank.

At this moment, Klein took out a space ring of moderate size and gave it to McKinley, then said to the other students:

"This ring will be used specifically to store your luggage. You can rest assured with Professor McKinley in charge."

McKinley raised his eyebrows. The space ring Klein gave him was even bigger than his own. The Jay Society members were very generous.

While helping the mages organize their luggage, several male students occasionally looked at Lilith.

Just as Eric said, if they didn't know Lilith, then her current outfit would definitely be eye-catching. Klein's otaku taste was not bad, and it suited the aesthetic of these student otaku.

Male students, discussing girls was perfectly normal. They had only just started interacting, and evaluations of Lilith and Becky had already begun.

"That girl in the black dress is so pretty! She doesn't look very old either, feels about our age."

"It's not just her, the one with the mask isn't ugly either, but I don't know what's under the mask."

"The ages of the others are also about the same as ours, only that perverted guy is a bit older, but not by much, probably around 30 years old."

Hearing this, Klein almost jumped out. Eric's perception was also very strong, so he could naturally hear the students' conversation. He felt his self-esteem was greatly hurt.

30 years old??? What do you mean everyone else is about the same age, and he looks like he's 30 years old? He's clearly not even 25, just looks more mature, what's wrong with these people's eyes?

However, the students discussed the girls in the team the most.

"I saw the girl in the black dress too, she's really pretty. What, are you thinking of giving up on pursuing Lucia and hitting on her instead?"

"What? Can't I? I'm also an exchange student being sent to Hozwog, even if I don't have a limitless future, I'm at least an outstanding student, right?"

"If you put it that way, it does make sense. You've been pursuing Lucia for almost a year. Now that everyone is an exchange student, your chances are much better than before. Are you going to give up now?"

"You're right, that does sound reasonable."

Among these students, the female student named Lucia also glanced at Lilith. Comparisons between women are more common than between men.

She carefully looked at Lilith, who was carrying luggage in the crowd, and then looked at Klein, who was next to Professor McKinley.

"This guy is quite handsome, I wonder what rank his strength is."

She took the initiative to walk up to Klein and extended her hand.

"Hello, my name is Lucia, second year in the elemental system."

Lucia had a space ring on her finger, it was obvious she was a rich kid. Although her tone was fairly normal, Klein could still hear the sense of superiority.

Lilith, who was on the side, also noticed that this woman named Lucia was hitting on Klein, but after seeing Lucia's strength and performance, she immediately lost interest and secretly commented:

"Looks average, strength is too weak, almost no value to exploit, Klein wouldn't interact with someone who has no value."

Just like that, Klein casually glanced at Lucia and immediately lost interest. Only first rank, he didn't know where this kind of person's sense of superiority came from.

Actually, what Lucia wanted to express was, 'Look at me, I'm already first rank in my second year, how awesome,' but what Klein felt was, 'You're already in your second year and only first rank, how trashy'.

"Oh, hello, I'm Klein."

After saying that, Klein treated this woman named Lucia as air and continued to pack his luggage. Nonsense, you already have a space ring, why are you still looking for me? Moron?

Lucia, who was left standing there, was a little depressed. This situation was not quite what she had imagined.

After everyone's luggage was packed, McKinley said to Klein and the others:

"Let's go, it's getting late, we can go to Palomiya Train Station."

"Okay, Professor McKinley." Klein nodded with a smile.

The group walked out of the Royal Academy and headed to Palomiya Station.

......

Among these exchange students, many were children of commoners. For several years, besides completing the regular tasks of the academy, they lived in the Royal Academy.

Hozwog in the Western Territory was very far away for them, so at this time, these students' moods were a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.

At 3 PM, the group boarded the train to the Western Territory on time. After boarding the train, Klein sat in the front carriage to talk with McKinley, and did not sit with the others.

After the train was running stably, these students began to chatter and discuss.

"I heard that the Western Territory is very chaotic, I don't know if it's true or not."

"It's very chaotic, although there are no Grandok intrusions there, there are too many magical beasts, and unlike the scattered magical beasts in the inland, they are hordes of beast tides.

For Klein, money = strength, so he wanted to spend most of his time figuring out how to make money.

"Professor McKinley, what is your usual research direction? I am also very interested in non-combat professions."

McKinley didn't expect that Klein would take the initiative to discuss academic professional issues with him, but looking at Klein's serious expression, it didn't seem like he was just saying polite words.

"My current main research direction is water pressure impact and some water pressure kinetic energy conversion problems."

Water pressure impact, kinetic energy conversion? Klein didn't understand the theory, but that didn't stop him from being a freeloader and bragging.

"I also had some ideas about water conservancy before, but I haven't implemented them specifically, and I'm not a water mage, which is a pity."

"Oh? You might as well talk about it." McKinley felt that Klein was bragging, so he wanted to expose him.

However, Klein quickly made McKinley look at him with new eyes, because Klein drew a sketch of a dam.

"This is called a dam. It is a kind of water conservancy building that I came up with based on a combination of ancient and modern knowledge. It has many functions, such as intercepting flood peaks, generating energy, adjusting storage capacity, and adjusting water levels to accommodate upstream and downstream ships.

It can also be used as a reservoir for water storage, irrigation, aquaculture, climate regulation, and supply of domestic and industrial water, etc. The specific operating procedure is like this..."

McKinley originally thought that Klein was bragging, but the more he listened, the more shocked he became. What an amazing idea! The person in front of him was a genius!

"What a bold idea, and it does make sense. Can I have your sketch?"

"Of course."

Klein pushed the sketch over with a smile. McKinley was an academic professor sent out by the Royal Academy, so he must be a very capable person. Regardless of whether he could use him in the future, it was always right to make friends.

With the dam sketch as a breakthrough, the conversation between the two began to become familiar.

......

The novelty brought by riding the train could not last long. After 4 hours, some students had already started studying the materials for this academic exchange, and some students had started to meditate, after all, mages had to meditate.

Of course, at this time, there would definitely be people who had nothing to do, and Arcane Mage Marloza was one of them.

The self-proclaimed Marloza naturally came to Lilith's seat, because it was already evening, and it was time for everyone to eat, so Marloza believed that, as an Arcane Mage, using bread as a way to start a conversation was the best way.

"Hello, it's already evening, you haven't eaten yet, right? I'm an Arcane Mage, if you want to have a meal, I can make you an extra serving. Don't worry, the bread I make is very delicious."

Marloza said to Lilith while kneading the bread.

Joe on the side laughed out loud and thought to himself:

"My sister-in-law only eats meat. She has only eaten the bread my brother made once in her life. Using arcane bread to hit on her, big brother, you are a tragedy."

Sure enough, Lilith glanced indifferently at Marloza's bread and said calmly:

"No need, arcane bread makes me feel disgusted."

"Uh, disgusted? Okay!" This evaluation made Marloza a little at a loss. He didn't even ask Lilith's name and could only awkwardly take back the bread on the table.

If it weren't for the fact that these students were the targets of the mission, Lilith wouldn't bother with them. Just like those students said, they were actually the same age.

Except for Eric, who had officially graduated from the Royal Academy, Klein, Lilith, and the other three were all third-year students at the Royal Academy.

These exchange students were basically all second and third-year students. The difference in strength was so great that Lilith didn't even have the interest to talk to them.

After being rejected, Marloza was naturally mocked by the other students.

"Marloza, you're too embarrassing, she directly said you're disgusting, hahaha."

"She doesn't like you, and you went to hit on other girls in front of Lucia, you have no chance on either side."

"You thought they were the junior sisters in the academy, so easy to pick up, you've been rejected, right!"
