"Marshal."
That was the code name given to him by the Walpurgis Royal Academy.
He was the most outstanding genius since the establishment of the academy. He was known as a rare treasure who could break all records so far. His comprehensive score was only a title that was shown to the public. He was the closest to the Demon King because he didn't have enough time.
And the reason why he got the code name "Marshal" was very simple.
This was because he was the student who possessed the most automatons in the academy. With his own strength, he could control a team of six people and form a solo army. In terms of combat strength, there was almost no one in the academy who dared to claim to be superior to him.
That was why he was called the "Marshal" by others, simply because he could control an army by himself, and there was no other reason for that.
His name was Magnus.
At least, for those who knew him, that was his name.
Because the academy valued strength above all else, as the number one genius of the academy and ranked first, Magnus naturally enjoyed the best treatment. Not only did he have his own room, he was also given a special workshop.
The purpose of the workshop was naturally to study automatons.
Not only was Magnus a puppeteer, but he was also an excellent puppeteer as well. That was why he was allowed to own this workshop.
There was not only a studio in the workshop, but also a study and a living room. It was full of sofas, tables, and even a heater. A variety of mechanical parts, materials, and books were neatly arranged on the wall shelf, revealing a mysterious atmosphere.
At this moment, Magnus was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a book in his hand.
He was wearing the academy's uniform, yet he had a pitch-black overcoat draped over his body. His height was that of a youth's, and his physique was that of a gentleman's. His entire body exuded a mysterious feeling that was consistent with this workshop, causing one to be able to see that he was different from the rest with a single glance.
However, Magnus's face was wearing an iron mask that covered half of his face, so people couldn't see his real appearance.
As for Magnus's surroundings, there were traces of young girls everywhere.
They were young girls wearing black dresses with lotus leaves and lace decorations, exuding an aura of death and decadence. Their faces were covered with veils with Chinese characters written on them, giving off a shocking sense of beauty.
There were a total of six girls. Two of them stood behind Magnus like loyal guards. Two of them were tidying up the room, playing and whispering to each other. The last two were patrolling around the window, keeping an eye on the situation outside at all times. This made it impossible for Magnus to find any loopholes around him.
Under such circumstances, even if a bomb was thrown in here, Magnus's automatons would be able to react in time and quickly respond, right?
Such a guard, even if you looked at the entire academy, you wouldn't find such a guard.
It could be seen that as the number one genius in the academy, Magnus was indeed impeccable.
Want to attack such a Magnus?
That was simply impossible.
And such a guard wasn't unnecessary.
After all, Magnus's reputation, who knows how many people were eyeing him..
Some people hoped to become famous by stepping on him.
Some hoped to eliminate the most troublesome enemy at the Night Meeting.
Some hoped to get their hands on his precious automatons.
Some hoped to find the powerful secret that allowed him to control six automatons at the same time with ease from him.
In Magnus's position, there were almost all kinds of reasons for him to be attacked.
Therefore, it was necessary to be on guard like this.
However, Magnus was destined to be met with an unprecedented attack.
"Screeeeeeee!"
An incomparably sharp cry suddenly rang out without any warning. It was like a sound wave that descended from the heavens, spreading throughout the entire academy.
"Master!"
"Master!"
When that sharp cry rang out, all the girls in the workshop reacted at the same time, and with the fastest speed they could muster, they rushed to Magnus' side with a fragrance wafting through the air like a series of afterimages.
Magnus immediately stopped what he was doing and raised his head. Behind the silver iron mask, a pair of eyes sharpened.
At the same time, the entire academy was in an uproar, and the noise faintly reached Magnus's ears.
Among the noise, there were even such conversations.
"What … What is that!?"
"Is that an automaton!?"
"I've never heard of anyone having an automaton like that!"
"Look! It's going that way! "
"That … That's Magnus's workshop!"
Magnus heard such conversations.
"Pa!"
Under such circumstances, Magnus immediately closed the book in his hand, got up, and moved towards the window.
"Master!"
"Danger!"
The girls all gave such warnings, but they were unable to stop Magnus's footsteps.
Magnus went straight to the bedside, raised his head, and looked outside.
In the next moment, Magnus saw it.
In the distant horizon, there was a huge shadow that swept across the sky, descending towards his workshop.
"Weng!"
The six automatons that came to Magnus's bedside released their magic power at the same time.
Clearly, seeing this scene, the six automatons were ready to attack and shoot down the incoming shadow.
However, Magnus raised his hand and stopped the group of girls from moving forward.
"Master?"
Among the girls, one of them was puzzled.
The word "Huo" was written on the veil on her face, and she had long straight pink hair.
This automaton was the one who once fought with Rozen in the sea of fire of the Akabane family – Huo Chuo.
Magnus ignored Huo Chuo's doubts and stared out of the window.
Not long after, the shadow finally came to the front of the workshop and showed its full appearance.
It was a large eagle that was large enough for people to ride on.
"That is …!?"
Huo Chuo recognized the eagle, and even the rest of the girls recognized it one by one.
At that time, in the sea of fire of the Akabane family, the boy who stood in front of the girls once used such a creature.
The other party looked down with a cold murderous look in its eyes.
Immediately after, a voice sounded from the huge eagle's body.
"Rorelles · Agnezen, will visit in a few days, please don't be stingy with your hospitality."
The lazy and careless voice carried a hint of playfulness as it came from the eagle's body.
That voice not only made Magnus's eyes fluctuate, but also made the girls' faces change slightly.
Then, the eagle turned into pure magic and disappeared like a cloud of smoke.
At the same time, many students, professors, and guards in the college followed the sound and approached, making the noise more and more obvious.
"Master."
Led by Huo Chuo, the girls looked at Magnus in amazement.
Under the gaze of the girls, Magnus was silent.
It wasn't until a while later that Magnus murmured.
"Finally in front of me?"
After saying this, Magnus turned around and parted the girls, leaving behind a sentence as he walked forward.
"Everyone, remember to adjust your state."
Magnus said faintly.
"Prepare to welcome the guest."
