Mage Adam

Adam wasn't interested in asking Frank why and suggested, "If you are willing to be my test subject, I can help you replace your old mechanical body for a high quality one, and the expenses will all be covered by me. However, I cannot guarantee the success of this transformation -- it may work wonderfully, or it might..."

"Kill me?"

"Or worse," Adam shook his head.

"Using your new research, I presume."

"Yeah."

Frank swept his entire body with mental body, feeling exhausted and uncomfortable.

Adam wasn't in a hurry to get an answer. Even if Frank disagreed, he could make a mechanical body by himself, and as for a test subject, he could just buy a slave. The reason why he chose Frank was because he stuck around for a long time, so Adam wanted to reward him.

And there is still a lot of preparations to be done before the transformation, since some sophisticated alchemy equipment needs to be purchased first.

"Think about it. Give me your answer in three days," Adam said before turning around to leave.

However, before Adam left, he could hear Frank say, "I agree."

Adam turned his head and said, "Make your choice wisely. Come to my office later to sign a contract and you can choose which mechanical body you want."

...

Next, Adam walked out of the laboratory and turned a few corners, coming to Mage Jino's alchemy laboratory.

Adam simply entered the laboratory without needing verification.

Instead of alchemy puppets, Adam saw several apprentices helping out in the laboratory. Adam didn't know who they were, but they all looked at Adam with strange eyes.

Adam didn't know about it, but he was the only apprentice who has a laboratory in the Elemental Laboratory Building. This made a lot of apprentices jealous of him, but they were still aware of his poor reputation, so they didn't come to him looking for trouble.

"Mage Jino is waiting for you inside," a female apprentice came to Adam and spoke, leading the way.

Adam thanked her and walked towards Mage Jino's office, but he could hear the jeers of several apprentices saying, "I don't know what the Approval Department is thinking, letting an apprentice set up his own elemental laboratory at will -- they are wasting their time and funds!"

"Quiet, maybe he has some talent that we don't know."

"I don't believe it. He must have deceived the mages."

The female apprentice who led the way looked back at Adam with an embarrassed face and said softly, "Please don't mind them..." she didn't know who Adam was, but if he was able to set up his own laboratory, then he must be very powerful.

Adam didn't care though.

Most of the apprentices were using psychic powers to conduct their experiments, which was created by Adam. They have come to despise the creator who has allowed them to perform these experiments.

The experiments they were conducting were full of metal elements. If Adam wanted to, he could easily kill them all in an instant, but Adam wouldn't do it. Resorting to force will only make Adam feel guilty for a human emotion expressed by these apprentices.

"Lead the way."

The female apprentice sighed a breath of relief. After leading him into the depths of the laboratory, she pointed Adam to Mage Jino's room and left.

The door opened automatically, and Mage Jino beckoned Adam to come in.

Adam greeted Mage Jino, and he smiled, "How does it feel to be jeered at from the apprentices? I thought you were going to kill them."

Obviously, nothing can be hidden from the eyes and ears of a Mage, and Mage Jino's tone was full of ridicule.

As a qualified mage, he knows the importance of Adam's presence, since Adam is prone to promotion.

Adam shook his head and said nothing about it, and Mage Jino didn't pry further.

"You shouldn't concern yourself with small fry like them, since they have to go through the processes via stupidity to wisdom, so a small lesson shouldn't hurt them," Mage Jino advised. Adam was already on equal footing to him.

"So, what brings you here?"

Adam was already prepared, and took out a piece of paper from his portable space. On the paper, he listed various instruments that he wanted to order, including ultra-precision machine tools, micro-mechanical arms and other instruments that are incredibly precise, as well as an alchemy puppet.

"Aren't you researching on electricity?" Mage Jino said, scanning the list.

Adam nodded and said, "Yes, Mage Jino, but I have some new ideas. If they can be implemented, they will soon produce results."

"I heard from the Dean that you are constantly on the verge of promotion. If you want to participate in the trial for battlemages, it isn't suitable for you to continue researching on electricity."

Mage Jino thought Adam wanted to try something else and simply logged Adam's orders. Besides, with the support from the Academy, Adam was allowed to do whatever he wanted. After logging his orders, Mage Jino said, "The fee will automatically be deducted from your lab's account. You may leave."

Adam left, still ignoring the jeers from the apprentices and went straight back to his lab. Mage Jino was incredibly efficient, and in less than an hour, all of the things Adam ordered arrived outside his laboratory. Adam ordered the alchemy puppet to construct a new room to place the new instruments, and asked Frank, who was sitting idly in the laboratory, "Within three days, I hope you are prepared. We are going to separate from your existing parts, and it will be incredibly painful. I suggest you order some painkillers from Elliott ahead of time."

"A new mechanical body?" James exclaimed, not knowing what was happening. "Frank, have you forgotten that your body can no longer withstand a replacement body?!"
