Without further ado, I began. I saw that Eric and Alberta were fully concentrated into creating their own things, so I left them be. I had already grabbed several materials I wanted to use and decided to employ my Synthesis Ability in tandem with the creation of this small golem.
The creation process was nothing hard. I merely applied the abilities I had learned from my previous life into this. The connection of cables was easy, but I refined it through Synthesis by merging certain circuits together and remaking a few of its runes.
After that, I assembled the other metallic materials, shaping the golem's body into a spider-like shape. And then added several internal circuits and magic stones depending on its usages. Lastly, I refined it with Synthesis by crushing a certain elemental stone and turning it into powder, enchanting the whole golem.
The whole process took several minutes, and once I started I never stopped, putting all my focus into what I was crafting. When I finished, it had already been roughly forty minutes. I took more than I imagined.
I sighed in relief but kept inspecting the golem as the time went by, until the time to make the golem finally came to an end, Hellburn quickly began wandering around the classroom to see every single golem using his special bionic eye.
"Ooh! Would you look at all this variety of amazing golems!" Hellburn was having a great trip.
I also inspected the golems, each and every one of them was unique. These students were less than twelve but they were all brimming with imagination and talent.
I saw a golem that could fly by creating wind currents, another that produced water guns, there was another that was able to unleash fireballs, a tiny one was capable of shooting light lasers, and another one could transform from a biped form to a ball, and roll very fast.
Eric's golem ended being something surprising, it was shaped as a colorful flower, and once he activated it, the golem transformed, beginning to overflow with life and nature element, it generated wood, leaves, and flowers over its body, and transformed into a golem made of both nature and technology.
It even generated fruits all by only using materials given to him and his own skills. Many of the students were surprised by his creation abilities.
"I am not half-dryad so I cannot make plants or fruits like a friend, but through these materials I was able to channel the power of nature. I always wondered if I could merge them with this technology… I know it might look dull but-"
"Amazing!" Hellburn interrupted him.
"Eh?!" Eric was surprised.
"I never saw something so great before! You're a genius in this! There was nobody that had your elements that took interest in machinery before, but now that there's someone like you. We can truly create technology that could not only create plant life, but even purify miasmic-imbued landscapes!" Hellburn said.
"Oh yeah, it has that function as well." Eric said while realizing it.
"And it can produce food? Those leaves seem to have slight medicinal effects, and this fruit… although looking like a small apple, is sweet and juicy!" Hellburn happily said. "Amazing, young man! What's your name?"
"E-Eric!"
"Good to see someone like you here, Eric!" Hellburn said. "Let's work together from now on then."
"S-Sure!" Eric felt pressured, but also happy.
"It looks amazing Eric!" Alberta praised him as well.
"Yeah, I have to give it to you." I nodded.
"Ahahaha… you're making me embarrassed now…" Eric laughed nervously. "However, teacher please check my two friends golems next, they're even greater!"
"I will do that just now!" Hellburn nodded, quickly inspecting Alberta's golem next.
"Oh, what's this?" Hellburn wondered, as Alberta nervously presented the golem to her uncle.
The golem had a simple pyramid-shape, but once Alberta touched it, it began to transform as well, it was incredibly complex, much like Eric's golem.
FLAAASH!
"T-This is a golem I made because I need a portable furnace. Although it is still a prototype!"
The entire golem suddenly expanded widely, as enormous blazing flames emerged from within. In mere seconds, it transformed into a moving metallic furnace, with several legs to move around easily, and it even had several arms to aid the creator with its tools.
"A-Amazing, she made that just now?!"
"I can't believe it…"
"It is so big! What sort of trick did she use?"
"No, that's a spatial stone, I saw a few of them. But I had no idea how to use them!"
"A-Amazing!"
As if Eric couldn't surprise anybody anymore, Alberta completely blew off everyone's expectations of the timid girl that always stuttered while talking.
"An amazing creation! I've seen a few portable furnaces before, but nothing as portable and easy to use as this one- also, it seems to be amazingly mana efficient!" Said Hellburn. "You've improved upon the circuits and runes yourself, yes?"
"I-I did!" Alberta smiled.
"Woah, this is amazing!" Eric praised her too. "With this you can do your job anywhere."
"Y-Yeah!" Alberta smiled cheerfully.
I could clearly hear Eric's heart beating faster as he saw her smile.
"Excellently done, Alberta." Hellburn congratulated her. "You and your friend got perfect scores for sure… now you, the Summoner I've heard all teachers talk about. I heard you have a second talent, and it is a Synthesis, right? They're incredibly rare rank up of alchemists." Said Hellburn. "Now, let me see what you've made."
However, there was nothing atop the table.
"Huh? where is it? Did you not make anything? I am fairly sure I saw you make something-"
FLUOSH!
"HUH?!"
Suddenly, Hellburn jumped out of surprise, as he saw something crawling over his back, which emerged straight out of his shadows. The other students gasped.
"A spider!"
"Teacher you've got a giant spider in your back!"
"Kill it!"
Some students aimed at the spider on the teacher's back, using their golems to fight it.
However, the spider disappeared, melding with shadows one by one, and then shooting spiderwebs made of shadows as well, wrapping around the golems attacking it.
"Calm down you lot!" The teacher quickly called the other students.
"This spider is… Blake's golem."
