Slytherin Empire's
Chapter 14
Earth: Scottish Highlands
Sunday morning
Hogwarts
Great Hall
With a flick of his hard finger, Hadrian caught everyone's attention
"All right, let's start..."
Everyone was instantly speechless, no one else was talking, some professors opened their mouths when they saw how quickly Hadrian took over all the students of Hogwarts .
"Let's start with the most obvious, what is Technomancy? A relatively new term that emerged in the Industrial era back in the 19th century, at which time worldly people began to work with steam engines, and began to make gadgets, this type of magic gets a little on its own and uses magic to 'improve' them ... "
"Now doing so is forbidden by law." Some muggleborn seem to wonder, for they do not understand why it happened.
"But this is not what is considered an actual 'technomancy', the actual techomancy is that when both parts do the same job, alchemy and runemancy are essential to working on this..." many students started talking to each other, upon mentioning alchemy
"I'm sure we can petition the ministry to start teaching Alchemy again as an important part of the wizarding world ..." one hand raised in the group, Hadrian had a desire to roll his eyes seeing that it was an ordinary miss ...
"Yes?" Hadrian's voice was bored
"Is it the same as chemistry? "Hermione's voice was full of curiosity, which meant she had not read it in the Library
"Not that, you compare potions to cooking, while similar ones are not the same, for example steel made with alchemy and steel made in blacksmiths are two completely different metals..." Professor Potions almost flipped the table hearing Hadrian's comparison, if he heard anyone else say that he would hold that person for the rest of the year!
Another pair of hands raised, Hadrian sighed and pointed his finger at someone else and not the worldly Miss
"Isn't it working in forging similar to the natural reactions you have in nature? " one of Ravenclaw asked who had a notepad in his hand
"No .. For example we have diamonds, for one you have nature find one, for another you have made one worldly, which do you think is more valuable?" For Hadrian's reply, Ravenclaw died instantly
Hadrian used his terminal and displayed two exactly the same steel plates
"On the left you have forged steel, and on the right you have made alchemy steel" it took a few seconds for everyone to forget the fact that they had a holographic gaze that took up almost all the upper levels of the great hall
"Now we're going to use the 'cutting spell' to try to cut this steel plate" Shortly afterwards a magic beam tried to cut the steel plate, which on the left was split in half, which was in half, while the right one only had scratches, this difference made everyone watching very impressed, they never knew that the supposed steel could be so different
"The reason why this is better is because the alchemically made steel mimics the natural fusion of the elements while in the workshop you only use heat to melt , and with that alchemical bath in a large dose of magic making it twice as good, that's why alchemy is better than that. Chemistry in all things ..." If Hadrian could, he would have rubbed it right on the usual face of the mistress, but unfortunately he had to continue college
"Now that this is done, let me show you how I made technomancy..." Hadrian used his terminal to access another set of images
"First of all I used alchemy to make the materials I needed, my first test was a combination of aluminum and steel, making something I used to call 'stainless steel alloy'. I know it sounds stupid, but I was only 8 years old then. ..." Hadrian showed some moving pictures of his past when he built the mark 1, most of his stuff back then was prototypes
"After finishing with the metal ..." after this drawing, the metal moved to its already quite famous armor form, this one looked like a medieval steel plate, they were not connected together, they were not connected together, instead Hadrian shows it separately
All the students realized that Hadrian was really going to detail how he made it! this makes the enthusiast very happy! Hopefully they can make some sort of version of themselves, just by imagining the stars of the mind traveling makes them dizzy!
Hadrian's girl noticed how everyone was getting dizzy, Daphne leaned towards Tracey and started to whisper
"I pity these people, thinking they will be able to make their own armor ..." Tracey could only nod bitterly as she was sad that their dreams would be shattered so quickly, he saw for himself how sophisticated runemancy was in mark 3.1 there was a truly higher language used then they taught in school, and such a thing was already classified as family magic, he even saw some particular runes that only worked if the Legion's presence was there, otherwise, such runes were completely useless ...
"The most important part of my armor is the runemancy involved in this, for the first year and second, of course, runes can be taught in the third year so I suggest if you want to learn about my technomancy then start studying early or wait for the third year, or just ignore this ..." after Hadrian said that he enlarged the breastplate spot
"Now to begin, I start with the edges of his armor, because of my own style, others may like it differently, but this is my style and I make runes to my liking!, I started with the fortification rune, which was this enhanced endurance, the second one was made a special light weight which lowered the weight of the metal even further, the third was the connection rune, which worked like a 'blood vessel' channeling magic to the other runes, and the last one, was a secret cluster in the center of the steel plate itself ..." when Hadrian pointed out the cluster, he heard a few breaths, and, from the years up, Hadrian looked back and he saw the expression of the Rune professor who was very surprised, the man was old, he had to retire, otherwise, he would have to, hadrian's work may have caused a heart attack. ..
The old man raised his hand, just as some students did, the other Professor looked amused as they stared at their colleague, he acted as if he was a child again.
"Yes professor?" To Hadrian's question, the old man gulped trying to put a thought into the sentence
"Lord Slytherin, the most advanced super cluster rune I have ever seen! Most Ancient Houses had not too complicated runes working in their surroundings! And it is the work of centuries done from generation to generation! " on the outburst Professor Hadrian only blinked a few times
"Super cluster? Impossible this one is just a small one, signs 2 and 3 there are several times more complicated ! Hadrian said in a reassuring voice, making the same professor really start daydreaming about something, some professors waved in front of this old man, but there was no answer from him.
Pomphy, the nurse and the School warden sighed, "I think you just destroyed Lord Slytherin ..." Hadrian could only shrug his shoulders in this situation, and return to the gathered crowd.
"As I said .. This cluster is the most important, each piece of armor has one inscribed on the opposite side of the armor, the most important one, make sure never exposed to possible outside threats ..." Hadrian zoomed in on a cluster of runes that looked like a magic circle with several tightly knitted letter circles
The audience gasped, who did not understand anything just saw it as beautiful, because the first circle rotated clockwise, the circle in it spun, opposite to the previous one, because the first circle rotated clockwise, there are a total of 3 circles and on the inside.most center there is an empty circle that emits pure power, it rotates itself, producing power for the other 3 circles
"It's amazing to work miracles on its own! "One of the older Ravenclaw just yelled as he fixed his glasses as if not believing what he saw...
"Yes that... Now maybe many of you are wondering how can I make a 'metal' suit fly into space? Some chuckled as his mother told him 'not to curse', but most just nodded
"Well this is the secret circle, the outer circle that rotates clockwise producing a ward, this ward is right outside the steel plate, this ward is right outside the steel plate, now this ward is just preparation for the next most important rune circle"
"The second one that was heading in the opposite direction, was the one that showed 'middle finger to gravity'" there were a few rolls of eyes and laughter from the crowd, the professor simply shook his head "these runes affect gravity within the ward plane, against the gravity of the world .. "they Hadrian focused on the third circle closest to the 'power core'
"And the last one, following the clockwise direction is the propulsion rune, this one allows movement and reacts to people's intentions ..." then Hadrian downscaled the cluster of runes and showed how all the pieces of armor were connected to each other
"The last ironwork is what I consider to be the 'chain letter' that is under the armor..." Hadrian points out the 'chain letter' but it actually doesn't look like the chain letter it actually looks more like a 'scale letter' with small scale like pieces made of metal
"The back that touches the user is inscribed with rune pads, which means if you somehow bump into the armor on it, you will land with barely small bruises... well if you fall from outer space inside this armor then... I don't recommend it ..." Hadrian grimaced at the thought of what would happen to the Mark 1 in space because it wasn't built for it ...
"On the other side of that 'chain letter' or 'scaled letter' depends on your appearance, whether the small runes in each part of them all had the purpose of connecting each piece of armor and connecting to the large system, which was fused at the back neck here.. Hadrian showed me the armour of the back of the neck, everyone looked with interest, they all realized that this was quite important and perhaps it would be the only drawback of this thing.
"This is the area where the wielder sends his intention and the armor picks it up and helps the user, in Mark 1 it is very primitive, and it is not widely used, which marks it over more, it is more, at the same time it works even without a helmet..." Hadrian shrunk from the neck area and with a slight twist on the terminal he made pieces of united armor showing the Mark 1 in full glory
"With this I show you the basics of how to make something in engineering, in the case of the Mark 1 it's mostly magic and minimal technology..." Hadrian looked around and saw many astonished and awe-inspiring views, and some thought-provoking insights, perhaps something related to building something of their own
Holly's hand lifted as she thought of something to ask him
"Yes, Holly?"
"Harry, you didn't show me anything about the HUD!" To his question many have question marks over their heads because few understand what a HUD is
"Well, it's just my dear sister because there's no proper HUD on the 1st sign! " with a slight swipe of the finger at Hadrian Terminal indicates the evolution of the HUD
The first picture is very simple with there are only a few pictures of armor how well the piece of armor works, in the left corner of the HUD
"That's the HUD of mark 1, dear brother." said Hadrian, who could hardly be trusted by his sister...
"Harry seems to. well.. primitive..." He heard some grunts and giggles from the people around him
"That's the point, it's the first time.flying armor..Compare the current 2000 Nimbus with the first flying broomstick of the 15th century ..." Hadrian's comparison makes fewer people realize that the Mark 1 is very antique to him. ..
"That's it..." His sister could only nod at the reason, a while later after a few whispers, another hand was raised and...
This time Draco raised his hand
"Yes?"
"You're not showing anything about servomotor" This time many birth muggles saw Slytherin think that he was growing bigger, never expecting Pure Blood to know about the muggle science machine
It is as easy as it is to not be introduced to the Mark 1 as it is not 'required' for the basic needs of flying, it has been introduced in the Mark 2 and improved in Mark 3" Hadrian explained to his friend.
"As Draco said ..." Hadrian showed me another picture, this time the armor looked much cooler than the 1 mark, his friend could easily see which one, he enlarged one of the armor joints, and then 'disassemble'.
"Servomotor is the usual invention of lifting things harder than they can do on their own, this is done without magic but ingenuity, I myself apply it with a little help from runemancy and Alchemy giving that requires a 'small push' that allows for lifting items that are much heavier than that. that person can usually..." Draco nodded to hear it, he experienced it personally so he was happy to hear that he got an explanation for it correctly .
After Draco's question, a few more questions were answered by Hadrian which made some Ravenclaw quite happy, only Hufflepuff and Gryffindor didn't ask anything.
"Well one more question and I'll end this sudden lecture! "Everyone started talking amongst themselves, before long one of Slytherin's upper-class students raised his hand, Thanks to Hadrian's eidetic memory he knew his housemate with just one glance.
"Yes, Marcus Flint? "
"Yes, I was thinking about using my armor in this sport, but I have to see the game first, so you all have to wait until the first game in November, then we can see how we can apply it..." To Hadrian's positive response some Quidditch players banged up, because they knew whatever Hadrian was going to do would make the game even more interesting
After answering the last question Hadrian ended the lecture abruptly, and sent Holo's projector to his dorm where he thought of using it as a Cinema screen / TV so the hostel can be used on Friday nights to watch some movies
Hadrian's mother and father walked towards him followed by the Headmaster and the other Professors
"Lord Slytherin 20 points to Slytherin, for a great lecture! The Headmaster said in the voice of grandfather, which only made Hadrian's mother roll her eyes
"As the Headmaster said, Harry, what you are doing is very noble, to share such a thing .." Lily said affectionately, she was proud of her son
"It's nothing mom, I just give them more options for creativity that is sorely lacking in this stagnant society..." Hadrian shrugged and pierced the 'Magic World' simultaneously
His father chuckled at him, "Whatever the case, you impress quite a number of people ..." James Hadrian's words looked around he could see some hot gazes directed at him, mostly coming from witches from the seventh year, he already knew some of them, especially from his own home
'It seems like even the twins in my house are interested in me now...'
After a few more exchanges Hadrian decided to return to the dorm, his friends quickly joined him, Holly started to frown.
"Wait Harry! are you going to Phobos?" Hadrian did not look back and continued to walk
"Yes my dear sister, unlike some people, I have something to do.." she grew even more pouty hearing it, she even growled.
"I'll keep coming! I promise to help! " she starts following , Cho who is with her quickly starts following , While Hermione bites her lower lip , considering the pros and cons , in the end her curiosity wins and she starts chasing them .
When he got to them, he just followed and listened to what they were talking about
"By the way, the lecture was amazing! But I know that you just give them the pieces! To Holly's exclamation, Hadrian simply rolled his eyes
"Holly, when you teach a man to build a house, you start from the foundation, and I give them exactly that, how they progress from here, it's their choice ..." For Hadrian's answer he just hummed happily
"Just as you are so good! , they won't think that you are a 'Pure Blood' stuck!" Hadrian heard some snorting and snorting, he knew it was coming from his housemate
"And aren't you the Heir of the Most Noble and Ancient Potter House? You should know how to behave!" Hadrian said in the most luxurious and noble voice, producing more grunts and giggles
"Then it's a good thought that I'm the heir to the Potter house, who doesn't really care about behavior and etiquette!" Holly said with her plush voice, resulting in more grunts, Hadrian was really doubtful that she received no training for those things, their mother would not let her fool herself like that.
"Whatever you say, little sister ..." once again she started to frown
"I'm not small! There's only a few minutes difference !" He snorted at her, their quarrels lasting all the way to Slytherin dormitory...
As soon as inside Hadrian heard a sigh from Holly's side of her friends, she of course ignored him, as she continued to walk to her room, there were more sighs as they entered her room, the panting did not stop when rituals such as circles appeared and black holes, Hadrian without a change of expression entered followed by the arrogant-looking Dark Witch who would have time to relax at her favorite retreat.
Hadrian's girl still couldn't understand how this woman appeared and disappeared like that, they hadn't seen her at the morning table, like he disappeared when someone wasn't expecting and showed up when you didn't expect to find him either! Sometimes it's just annoying that someone can do that!
But for now they decide to take him down, instead they follow Hadrian thinking the black hole, while Holly's friend thinks twice, she bites the lower lip thinking what to do, it only lasted for a moment as he quickly followed the group when he saw his best friend enter the black hole portal
While Hadrian did not bother waiting for the strangler, he had already left the room when Hermione passed by, only Holly smiled seeing her friend actually coming with him.
"Whoa Hermione, you're really coming with us! We're gonna have fun here! Holly draws her friends' hands and they quickly catch up with the other group as Hermione looks around, letting Holly drag her along.
"Our Hadrian is going in the opposite direction ..." Daphne pointed as they walked in the opposite direction of the elevator which brought them to the previous observation level.
"Yes I know, we're going to Phobos' cell, I want to see that alien zombie in the flesh..." Everyone's eyes widened, someone like Tracy, who was dizzy and frightened at the same time, to Draco who was anticipating this with glee, the other girls were very curious, while Miss Earthly is still trying to forget the fact that they are inside one Martian moon ...
After walking for a few minutes, the group arrived at something that would commonly be known as a 'train platform', but instead of a train, there was a floating square-like 'peron' waiting for them, which was a huge floating platform, to be taken to the other side of Phobos.
Hadrian and his small group went to the first, after the last member of the group climbed onto the floating platform, a protective fence rose and a magic bubble appeared around it, slowly starting to move inside the tunnel.
For Hermione and Holly, this reminded them of the London Underground, but once inside the tunnel, the platform accelerated at incredible speeds, moments later the tunnel became bright and the group had to use their hands to block the brightness, but it only lasted for a few seconds as they looked at the panoramic view of the park in the middle of Phobos
" your brother really knows how to make the trip awesome! Holly said as her hand touched the protective barrier, all her attention was on the greenery she saw outside the magical barrier.
"Indeed, that was the plan .." he said when he joined him, the other group also enjoyed the trip, only Hermione was still trying to forget this, her mind was asking more and more, the other group was also enjoying the trip, which he would be happy to get an answer for...
Their journey did not last longer than 10 minutes, as the platform moved on its specific path inside the tube-like glass arriving at its end, then the protective barrier descended and Hadrian and his group left, the report said, and start walking towards the door.
"So where are we?" Holly asked him to look around, the platform looked identical to the one they had come to, if he had not experienced a trip on the floating platform, he would have thought that he had not gone anywhere at all ...
"On the other hand Phobos, this is where my knights came after they were born on the assembly line..." Hadrian's words made Miss Mundane's eyes grow bigger
"His arsenal, the testing ground, the training ground, the resting complex, the cell .." Hadrian said directly from the top of his head ..., while the rest of the group slowly nodded, understanding that where 'Barak' was' being, the only one who was still the most shocked and could not cover this up was Hermione
'He really made a living! This is wrong!, and no one said anything !' Hermione was far to be surprised, she was even shaken to the core when she saw that none of them cared that Hadrian made a life!
"Let one Hermione stop being left behind!" Hermione flinched and released herself from Holly's grip
"Holly, your brother made a living and you have nothing to say!" at Hermione's explosion, Holly simply raised her eyebrows
"You mean the homunculus? It was a magical construction made with alchemy .. it was a fairly old and rarely used art, because of how difficult it was to make it..." Hermione looked at her friend in shock.
"God, it's wrong to make a life like that! It is banned by the united states! Like cloning! " Holly just shook her head back then
"It's the miracle of Hermione and, we're not on Earth, remember? " It makes Ravenclaw stop..he forgets where he is. If he says something about it man he will be stranded on the moon mars...
"Well, let's go, it's still wrong ..." Holly just shook her head, how foolish her friend was sometimes, but once again she remembered that she was new to their world
"We practice magic, and it goes against the natural order, if you don't like it, Hogwarts is not the place for you then..." To Holly's words, Hermione could only bite her lips
The two quickly increased their pace to chase the group in front who entered the other corridor of the platform, Hadrian of course had heard the explosion of Hermione which he had not noticed, as he had already expected his reaction.
"Is that how muggles react to alchemy? No wonder Dumbledore banned him at Hogwarts.." Daphne comments when she hears Hermione's explosion, it sounds stupid to her, it shows how few muggles people know about magic.
"Don't pay attention to that, the worldly people are hypocrites themselves, they herd and slaughter animals, keep them in the pasture, they keep them in the pasture, and then they complained that creating a creature that was created specifically for something was wrong, but they bred animals specifically for eating ..." Hadrian waved his hand in a disdainful manner, while continuing to walk towards the holding cell.
Once they arrived at a place called the Hadrian Stem Cell, the group had already seen a considerable improvement on the Knights who were walking around, though, from the Honor Guards guarding the door to the Forward Knights walking in groups doing patrol shifts, all in all these places were already reminiscent of Military installations, all of them were already, which reminds them that Hadrian is not just a genius kid who creates extraordinary things...
Then their door opened to the Retaining Cell. They all noticed that there were no metal rods, or any other items, instead there were soft brown walls like stones, stone-like, the only separation wall itself is a metal like line a few centimeters thick separating the part of the wall, they are built in a fashion-like square window, just above this window is a number that indicates the number of cells ...
'By merlin I don't want to be in one cell like that! Not only was there no window as this existed in outer space, but there were also no iron doors, no bars, only small rooms carved into the walls...'
Such restraining cells make Draco very pale, he knows that Azkaban cells are even better than this! , because his father said how they look , Azkaban can be an attentive hotel like this. The effects of claustrophobia will make anyone angry, Dementors are not even necessary...
Hadrian walked up to the first cell, and with the terminal in hand he did some swiping movements that turned the stone cell number 1 like a wall into a glass, like a glass , where Hadrian and his group can see the Alien Monstrosity just standing there, the appearance of aliens who arrive - suddenly makes the girls want to jump back, the, hadrian's remaining hand grabbed the closest he got to Daphne, he grabbed her waist to stop her from taking a step back
They soon realized that there was a glass like wall separating them
The alien's actions left everyone except Hadrian confused
"why is he standing like this!? Excited little sister exclaimed, she was all agitated just 10 seconds ago, now she was confused, just like the rest of Hadrian's small group.
"No idea, but it looks creepy! , it's like a bug man ! Hadrian grinned at Tracey's description because he hit it close enough to home, the alien does not have flesh like an exterior like a human but rather has a hard exterior exoskeleton like insects on earth.
"It's not far from Tracey's house, because it actually has an outer skeleton like an insect..." Tracey did a disgusting facial expression hearing him
The other group realized that there was a wall separating them, they decided to look at the creature more closely, as they remembered yesterday, they had 3 sharp-looking fingers on both hands and two fingers on both feet, the monster was around 1, 8 to 1.9 tall, with a brownish carapace making the outside of its body, the monster was around 1.8 to 1.9, with its 4 shining pink eyes, it was a creature that was quite frightening if not for the wall separating them, its group members would have already fled from the place...
"You don't answer why it's just standing there and daydreaming!" Holly said as her eyes left no monsters behind like a wall
"Because of my dear sister, what was programmed to do ..." she raised her eyebrows and looked at him waiting for an explanation "this alien body is full of nanite, and at this moment is being 'unemployed' as the signal machine does not reach this creature so it will just stand there to death, which is about 10 years or so, it does not need food, or water, or even sleep, he said, the nanite within his body kept him alive at the expense of his flesh and organs, eventually it would only be destroyed.." Everyone stared at Hadrian with a pale expression, what they heard... make them lose their words
