(Third update)
(Updates might be released early for a while. I just hope everyone will give Ru Qing's hard-earned four chapters a day, written at the cost of sleep, plenty of support.)
Mages capable of controlling "Automatons," wielding Automaton Thaumaturgy, and engaging in automaton battles were generally known as—Automaton Masters!
Those who specialized in manufacturing "Automatons," installing Magic Circuits into them, and even developing high-performance "Automatons" and powerful Magic Circuits were known as—automaton makers!
Although Walpurgis Royal Academy of Machinart was a place that cultivated outstanding Automaton Masters and supplied talent to the outside world, some Automaton Masters also wanted to become automaton makers.
After all, controlling "Automatons" and creating "Automatons" were two entirely different skills. "Using" and "making" were difficulties on completely different levels as well.
However, whether one was an Automaton Master or an automaton maker, neither could do without "Automatons," so they naturally had quite a few things in common.
For that reason, Walpurgis Royal Academy of Machinart, which specialized in training Automaton Masters, also offered an Automaton Technology Department course. It allowed some Automaton Masters to learn how to make automatons, or at the very least, understand exactly how an "Automaton" came into being.
Thus, students who enrolled in the Automaton Technology Department either wanted a deeper understanding of "Automatons" and to improve their Automaton Thaumaturgy from the manufacturing side, or they wanted to become automaton makers.
Moreover, the building exclusively assigned to the Automaton Technology Department possessed professional equipment capable of manufacturing "Automatons," so quite a few students chose the course.
As night was about to fall, Wu Yan emerged from the building belonging exclusively to the Automaton Technology Department, a thoughtful expression lingering on his face.
Since first-year students at the academy were newcomers, all of their classes were still focused primarily on Automaton
