Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

Azure Star, a genius was born on this planet!

"Genius" doesn't refer to high academic talent or outstanding grades. In this world, "genius" is an innate ability.

At this moment, in a certain academy on the planet Azure, graduating students are proudly announcing their achievements.

"I did it! I did it! I surpassed Lady Black Tower!"

The top graduate was filled with excitement and joy, clutching his transcript tightly in his hand. He had achieved a perfect score of 1000 out of 1000 in ten subjects!

Keep in mind that when Ms. Black Tower graduated, she only scored 900 points!

Although she was only 11 years old at the time, this was an unprecedented achievement for the student, as he surpassed his idol!

"You're very good, but you still have a long way to go."

The principal beside him, with a kind expression, explained:

"Every four or five years, one or two talented people will appear who get full marks in all subjects, but the reason why Ms. Heta did not get full marks is because she was not interested in the last subject, Environmental Biology, so she did not take it."

"Wh...what?!"

"Furthermore, the exam papers you are currently taking and the books you are studying are actually published by Ms. Black Tower. She was also 11 years old at the time."

puff!

The top graduate coughed up blood, seemingly his Dao heart shattered, and fainted.

"Ambulance! Ambulance!"

A generation of "genius" has fallen.

The teaching staff didn't react much; similar situations occur every year.

These little farces were projected onto a mirror inlaid with purple diamonds.

"Sigh~ Why set yourself up against a genius? Isn't that just asking for trouble?"

Inside the towering library, a cute yet mature girl with fair skin, brown hair, a magic hat, and purple lilies adorning her head spoke narcissistically.

This is the Black Tower Lady, as people call her, the eternal eighteen-year-old girl.

This person solved the Solitary Wave Problem in his youth. It should be noted that this problem had puzzled the universe for nearly a hundred Amber Ages, and even almost confined the entire universe to a fixed circle of knowledge, until the Black Tower solved it.

Today, Black Tower has achieved countless accomplishments, each one worthy of being remembered in history, but this one has always been her proudest achievement.

You know, an ordinary scholar would be overjoyed if he could leave behind one achievement in his lifetime, but Lady Black Tower has led the technological level of Azure Star and even the surrounding civilizations to three leaps! And this is only due to the research she conducted as a side project.

"Ah~ the fourth mirror is not very useful right now. The algorithm of artificial intelligence needs to be improved."

Time is important. When Black Tower rests, she uses her little invention, the "Fourth Mirror," to observe all parts of the world.

However, it is not yet perfect, and the Black Tower lady, who is engrossed in calculations, does not have time to work on it.

Since regaining her youth, she has lived in seclusion. Too many people have come looking for her, and the noisy social interactions have displeased her. Unless you have the ability to find her, it's best to forget about it.

"There are only two perfect geniuses in this world: one is me, and the other is the me in the mirror."

Just as Black Tower was fretting about why both achievements and beauty were concentrated on one person, the Fourth Mirror spoke up:

"Master, master, the Knowledge Society is calling!"

"Rejected."

"Master, master, a call from the Interstellar Peace Corporation!"

"I was rejected. Didn't you know I was too busy?"

"Master, you seemed to have promised to have a meeting with the company..."

"Really? Then I change my mind now. Consider it as me going fishing in the ocean of calculations."

"Master, master, why aren't we just lost?"

"You code-brain! Use your little gears to think of something that can stump this genius!"

"You're mistaken, Master! Master is unparalleled in the world, Master is exceptionally intelligent!"

"Alright, alright~"

Black Tower wanted to pick up the drawing board and work out the calculations again, but in just a moment of thought, countless new ideas emerged.

However, the brilliant idea suddenly disappeared after it bumped into a strange object.

"Ah, I remember now. I found the company to build me a museum-style interstellar ship because I can't fit all the oddities at home."

"Mirror, please contact the person in charge of the company for me."

"Master, Master, but I just refused on your behalf..."

"Oh, I've changed my mind. Contact me quickly."

"Yes, Master!"

Subsequently, Interstellar Peace Corporation sent a press release, once again thanking Ms. Black Tower for further cooperation with the company.

As a member of the Genius Club, Black Tower is also a genius with eccentric behavior.

But she still maintains a lot of contact with the outside world.

"The laws of the ordinary world can no longer satisfy me. I hope there are more unknown things in this universe that can satisfy my curiosity."

Thus, with the company's support, the research to "seal all the strange things in the starry sky" began.

This interstellar ship was named the "Black Tower" space station. However, the owner of the space station only appeared as a puppet, and no one knew his true identity.

Meanwhile, Ms. Black Tower, sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, complained, "Why does the company news always have to include the phrase 'Genius Club #83' in it? What other titles do I have that don't sound good? Why choose this one? Anyone who doesn't know better would think the previous 82 people are more capable than me."

"If I hadn't been born so late, these freaks wouldn't have gotten ahead of me. Logically, the sorting algorithm should be based on intelligence!"

"Master! Your custom-made magical outfit is finished! Why is Master dressed like this?"

"It looks good. You've asked a lot of questions~"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, Master!"

"Heh, I'm not some old-fashioned scientist, I'm a magical girl, you know? Isn't science, which the world can't understand, just magic? And I am a genius who constantly creates magic!"

"By the way, the research on resource efficiency improvement and imaginary energy conversion has been shut down."

"Master, master, why are you turning this off? It took so much time! Everyone's been waiting for your results!"

"Because it's meaningless."

Black Tower picked up her wand, from which flowed digital knowledge. For achievements that others spent a lifetime to attain, Black Tower could arrive at the answer in just a few thoughts. Therefore, she rarely spent time on paperwork, as it was too much of a waste of time.

She would store all her inspirations and unfinished thoughts inside her wand, calling it "The End of the Quest".

That is why the manuscripts of the Black Tower are extremely valuable, or rather, the documents of every member of the Genius Club are treasures.

"Master, master! We've detected a reaction in the star core, meow!"

"Oh? You've been researching screws for so long without any results, but I can try making one myself."

This was something that even the Black Tower was curious about, but it was neither appealing nor worth discarding. The secrets of the Star Core seemed to be locked away, and the Black Tower had no time to deal with them.

She discovered early on that the universe is like a glass, and knowledge is like the water in the glass, the total amount of which depends on the size of the glass.

One of the goals of the Black Tower research is to broaden this cup and increase the total amount of knowledge in the universe.

Ever since being glanced at by the Venerable One, the Black Tower had wanted to pay her respects again and ask Him a question.

"You've trapped us in this circle, what? Are you trying to raise a treacherous snake?!"
