It was hot outside when students started coming in the class for their lecture . Although the lecture wasn't that boring the sheer heat made it impossible to focus on studying
The most unbearable fact was that it was just them the students of production class who were suffering while every magic class had cooling magic array installed so they wouldn't had to bear the heat
As the students walked into the classroom they saw a strange metal object in the table of the teacher
It wasn't like anything that any of them had seen before in their life
As soon as they sat down Max started the lecture . After some time when Max told the students to copy what he had written. He sat on his table and started the fan by rotating the crank
As soon he started rotating the crank a cool breeze of air started flowing from the farm
As soon as the air collected with sweat on his body, Max started feeling cool and gradually the heat could be felt lessening
As the air gradually moved the students, they were so shocked by this that started making a commotion and gathered around Max's desk
'Teacher what is that' one of the kid asked
'This is a fan that I made for cooling.
What are you all doing go back to your seats' Max said to the children
At first they were overwhelmed by their fascination but soon they calmed down and got back to their seats. Still the fascination in their heart was not quelled and they started asking Max all sorts of questions
Max tried answering their questions one by one. Even he was surprised at how much curiosity the kids had towards the fan
It reminded him of the days when he was an engineering student and the teacher did practical experiments
Suddenly one kid asked ' Teacher how much are you willing to sell this thing for'
Max was surprised by this , even he had some thoughts of selling the fans and earning money but he didn't expect that his first customers would be his own students but after all they all belonged to merchant families so it seemed that trade was in their blood
'Why what do you need it for' asked Max
'Teacher it's been really hot lately and even though we all had magic frost arrays in our home's , there isn't any in the dorm rooms' said one of the students
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Max was surprised by this , but it made sense after all even if they didn't had any high positions in their family they were still sons of rich family, they all led lavish lives , they hadn't faced much adversity before, therefore they would pay big for some comfort
'How much will you pay for it' asked Max
'2 gold coins ' replied the kid
'Ok , sold . Meet me after the class with 2 gold coins and this fan is yours' said Max
Suddenly a shout came from the back 'Teacher I also want one'
'I also want one'
Suddenly a lot of kids started shouting
'Well , I only have this one piece' said Max
'It's not fair , I also want one' yelled another kid
'Yeah , lets have an auction.The highest bid wins' yelled another kid
'No, its not fair , I already bought it its mine ' said the first kid
Then a lot of kids started arguing
Max hadn't anticipated this response but if he could use it well he could earn himself a nice little profit
'Ok , calm down, we will do it like this everyone who wants to buy the a fan will pay an advance deposit of 1 gold and the rest when I will give you the fan 8 days later'
'Ok, then , but what about this one' one of the kids yelled pointing at the fan
'I will keep it for my personal use' said Max
After the class 20 kids paid him the deposit and the rest seemed to be thinking of ways of collecting the money somehow
After the class Max went to Wayland's Office and asked him to make 20 more pieces of the fan parts
Wayland was surprised by it
' Why do you need that many more parts did the one I made broke already' said Wayland
'No, they are fine but ' and then Max told Wayland all the details about what had happened in his class
At first Wayland was surprised by the fan but then after using it he was surprised by it, such a simple design could have such effectiveness . But after that he said
' Well Max the thing is making one was fine by me but making 20 all by myself is a bit too much, why don't I have it made by a friend of mine who runs a blacksmith workshop'
'Well , what do you think it will cost me' asked Max
'Thinking about it Mayland replied about 70 silver coins per piece and he should have it ready in five days ' said Mayland
'Ok then, but tell him that I will pick it up in batches of two , first in four days and the other in the next four days, then pieces each time' said Max
This was because he realized that he didn't had enough money to pay for them . He had collected advance from the students at estimating the cost at 50 silver coins but maybe it was too presumptuous of him since the first was a favor from Wayland and he must have only charged him for the raw materials, this left a good impression of Wayland in Max's mind. But in the future he would have to be careful about professional and personal relationship between them
'Ok , this is the address at which you can pick the parts four days later ' said Wayland giving him the address of the blacksmith's workshop
After this 10 days had passed , Max had delivered all the fans to the students and received the balance payment from them. Also, 5 more students had given him new order during this time which he had promptly delivered to them
****************----------------------------------*********************
As Max sat in his desk in his home he calculated that he had earned 32 gold and 50 silver coins from this deal
He soon started pondering whether he could do this full time and finally make a good life for himself
This would need more calculation but at least for now he had a little spare money in his pocket
