Highschool DxD: Dragon's Ascent

Chapter 47: The Architect

Man... I am so freakin bored.

[Earth Magic(Novice) Lv. 10(Max)]

[Wind Magic(Novice) Lv. 4]

Motivation like that can only carry me so far. Don't get me wrong, I am fully capable of just sitting down and studying for a thousand hours straight without any breaks. But the only problem is volition.

Actually sitting down for a hundred hours of direct studying versus thinking you have the motivation to do it are completely different things. I only could make it 120 hours before I mentally cracked.

At least learning so much magic so fast made my magical stats basically skyrocket.

But now I just want to direct my focus to a different thing. Charge my inspiration batteries so to speak.

It may be a bit early but I really want to make this so I am making it. Spontaneous decision-making is what breeds innovation in alchemy.

I was going to make another Homunculi, while 01 is a pretty good worker having made several dozens of potions since I was gone it was not good enough. And I was visited by the fairy of inspiration.

Well, I sure as hell was not going to create every Homunculi by hand, and making machines for creating Homunculi seems like it can only go bad. So, why don't I make a homunculi that creates homunculi for me?

I know it's a big jump from creating one that barely functions as a human being but I have an idea. I have the means to do it and I have to work on creating a homunculi possessing a mind eventually. It shouldn't be too hard considering my immense processing power and my near mastery in Advanced rank Mind Magic.

I do not fear them becoming deviants because 1 I was the designer of their minds and 2 I will have several seals placed on their minds and their bodies to prevent such a thing as well as a switch that puts a complete stop to their body and mind the moment it reads deviancy in their minds.

So, in my homunculus lab which was untouched by the construction I started work with Grayfia standing behind as my assistant, for some reason she wasn't nearly as opposed to acting as an assistant for my experiments as opposed to acting like an actual maid.

Maybe she actually enjoys alchemy? Don't know, don't care.

I worked on the skeleton in front of me with a Biological Transmutation circle and a Metal Transmutation Circle, I had 50% of my mind on this and 40% of the other half on working on the mind that would go inside of the homunculi.

"Grayfia, bring me two more pairs of arms from the MK VII Skeleton." Feeling no need to refuse my order Grayfia brought me two more pairs of arms from the skeletons in my closet before she had to ask.

"Why two more pairs? Aren't you trying to create a humanoid shape?" Grayfia asked me from the side, intently watching my work.
