As max woke up from his sleep,he realised that he was late, since there was no alarm clock on this world people rarely had an accurate estimate of time and worked based of just estimation of time by the sundial.

After getting ready and having his breakfast, he rushed off to the Anatolia University after all he didn't wanted to be late for his first class

As soon as he arrived in the university he reported to the department head of the Mechanical department

The department head was a large,strong man with short blonde hair and a tan face

As the department head saw Max coming he said

'Hello , are you the Production Engineer reacher'

'Yes I am' replied Max

'And who might you be'

'Oh forgive me ,my name is Wayland and I serve as this department's head'

'Oh I am sorry , my name is Max and I will be the new teacher'

'Ok, so your class will start after two hours, so you should get to know about it first'

'Ok' said Max

'There are 30 students in your class , 4 of them are nobles so pay special attention to them.Your course will comprise of Introduction to hammering in which you will go through the basics of blacksmithing like what temperature to forge at, which metals to use etc'

After explaining to Max his duties, Wayland sat down and said

'So, since you will be working under me , let's get to know each other'

'Ok' replied Max

After taking to Wayland for 1 and half hours, Max found out a lot of stuff like the fact that Wayland was once a very highly regarded sacred blacksmith in the capital city but after working for so long his eyesight had gone slightly bad and he couldn't forge at the level of a sacred blacksmith anymore ,so one of his friends referred him for this job

After that Max , asked the question that was on his mind since Yesterday why did he got this job so easily.

To this Wayland told him that this was a highly prestigious university but its main source of income was tution fees from its students (as compared to other universities who get royal grants and funds) and the only people who can pay high tuition fees are nobles and rich merchants and they only care about magic.

Thus, all the noble and rich kids are enrolled in the Magic department and it gets most of the university's funding , you know even its lowest ladder teacher makes more than me a department head.

But after the competition in trade due to relaxation of tension and regulation with the eastern continent more and more merchant houses are concerned about efficiency to stay competitive in the market thus they generally send some children who have no chance of succeeding the house , to the university to learn about the basics of business like how there goods are made , so they can be useful in the future

But,you see they don't want to invest much in these children thus they pay very low fees, thus the salary of the teacher is accordingly low but even a regular blacksmith makes at least 30 gold coins a month outside thus no one would come here to teach for 10 gold coins per month

Therefore you were the only one who had applied who had attended worker school at least. Thus, you got the job

After hearing this Max was both surprised and understood, after all if it wasn't for his physique he would have also been a regular blacksmith earning three times as now

But what most surprised him was the other thing that Wayland had said , he couldn't understand it at all , what was the eastern empire , relaxation of regulation. It seemed that he knew nothing about this world

After all it made sense since he attended only worker school and they only thought him basics about his profession and he couldn't ask anything else this either. It seemed that Max would have to go to the library after the class to pick up some common knowledge

As he walked into the class he saw that the class was still empty, it seemed he had arrived early

After taking his seat he started preparing his notes for his lecture

After some time the students started coming in the class and soon the class was full

It was afternoon by the time he left the university , the class had gone fine , the students seemed fine but one of them caught his attention he was dressed in a very torn down robe and his materials didn't seemed new either.It seemed that he had some difficult circumstances but he seemed to pay attention so Max moved on

After his class he had gone to the library and borrowed some books like history of the western continent and some other history books to acquire some common knowledge

************---------------------**************
Few days passed like this with Max on his regular schedule.From home to university and university to home. It was the time for Max to collect his payment for the first week 2 gold and 50 silver coins
As Wayland and Max were sitting in Wayland's office awaiting for their salary. Wayland suddenly said

'It's been way too hot recently'

'Yes,some people say that is because the foresters have been cutting more and more woods'

'I wish we were like magicians then we could cast wind magic and get rid of this heat'

'Yeah , only if we could, said Max

Then suddenly he was struck with an idea, how about making a fan

When he arrived home , he started giving his thoughts some real ideas . At first he was perplexed by the idea of making a fan without electricity but then he started thinking of when his mother would
told him about her childhood days when there was no electricity in her village and how they would use a hand crank fan

Max started giving it a thought and then started drawing the models for it

When Max woke up the next day his heart was beating fast and he was very excited

As he walked towards the university he couldn't help but feel more and more nervous undecided at the same time

As Mac entered Wayland's office he said to Wayland

'Wayland, you were a sacred blacksmith in the capital right'

'Yes' replied Wayland

'But you haven't forged for so long how do you know your skills are still at that level' said Max

'Hey , I will let you know that my skills are just as sharp as ever and if it wasn't for my damm eye I
would still have my sacred blacksmith rank'

'Ok then can you do me a small favour , I need some small parts forged for me can you do it'

'Yes , I can' replied Wayland, feeling as to somehow he had been tricked

Max then handed Wayland the design he had drawn last night for the blade, the crank and the shaft

'The design seems simple and the weight should be no more than 1 kg , including all the cost it
should not cost you more than 50 silver'

Max handed Wayland 50 silvers

'Ok , I will have it ready for you by tomorrow'

'Ok' replied Max

Two days had passed since then and Max had collected all the parts from Wayland and assembled
them in his home into a functional fan.

Author's Notes-
I am not an engineer so please don't judge me too much on the fan design.
