With the day’s lessons finished, Ernesti quickly retrieved his textbooks and returned home so that he could review what he learned. Though he still trained with Kid and Addy, on days like this when the silhouette knight design class was held, his brain was filled with too much joy for him to do much but immerse himself in study.

Ernie had assimilated a lot in class. Consequently, he had learned much of the basics of silhouette knights and was understanding more as time went on. As he learned, he started to have more and more questions that were in no way basic as well. In practical use, out of the five main points of a silhouette knight’s structure, its crystal tissue, inner skeleton, and outer skin tended to be lost or damaged frequently. In light of this, many forts and towns on the front lines had facilities and infrastructure to make it easy to obtain more of these components. Many blacksmiths and alchemists commonly studied how to perform repairs and maintenance on these elements. Quite a few of the blacksmithing students who were Ernie’s classmates already had experience building such spare parts. However, there was almost no information on magius engines and ether reactors—a silhouette knight’s heart and brain. Even in class, all that was taught was their function. Their inner workings remained entirely unknown.

While silhouette knights were a very important source of military strength for the country, detailed knowledge of them was also something that would cause problems if it was readily available to the public. Of course its circulation was closely controlled by the state, and the inner structure of the engines and reactors, as well as the ways to manufacture them, were kept top secret. As one might expect, Fremmevilla kingdom, hailed as the country of knights, was also very strict about this.

However, keeping the production methods secret also lowered the efficiency of the manufacturing process for what they were keeping secret. Since these parts could not be mass-produced, each piece in circulation was worth that much more. It was often said that silhouette knights were very expensive tactical weapons, but these inner parts made up most of that cost.

“Well to be fair, I’m not really that worried about magius engines.”

Magius engines used magic script to control a silhouette knight’s body. Given that, it seemed like it should be possible to interfere with and modify that script. In short, Ernie was planning to simply hack a magius engine. It was an idea that would only occur to Ernie, with his fearsome solo calculation ability and experience and knowledge as a software programmer. However, the component that was not a piece of theoretical information and was instead a pure crystallization of magic techniques—the ether reactor, something that imitated a fundamental root of magic—was too much for his abilities.

“If only...if only I could at least get some more leads... As things stand... It’s only the reactor that never even conceptually existed on Earth,” Ernie groaned with a frown as he rolled around on his bed.
