Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 109
by Jessie@AFNCC
Rattling, rattling!
I hit my shoulder against the shaking wall and frowned in silence.
It’s already been three hours since I got on this huge piece of iron but my weak body has no intention of getting used to it.
Rather Lennok who felt a slight sense of motion sickness rising crossed his arms and looked out the window at the scenery.
A cold winter plateau.
A train running on a huge railroad in the middle of nowhere.
Lennok was now on that train heading somewhere other than the Balkans.
Aris who was sitting in front of him and looking at the newspaper sighed softly and said.
“If you feel uncomfortable talk about it. “It’s not impossible to take a break for a while.”
“…..it’s okay.”
The fact that she can stop and stop a train with enough capacity to carry a hundred people at will indirectly shows her position.
And the reason I can say something like that so casually is probably because there are less than ten people on this train right now.
She was staring blankly at Lennok’s face then slowly looked away and said.
“I’m sorry for suddenly having to lend a hand in this matter. “Rennok is the only person in my lab who has free time right now…”
“Have you been neglecting your work lately? “I have to endure this.”
While handling the warlock’s work didn’t the amount of time he was unable to show his face not only at the university but also at the library increase?
Of course Aris did not blame him for that at all but Lennok felt a debt of gratitude to her for that reason.
If the other person was a shameless and vicious person he wouldn’t care at all but considering his ability and environment isn’t he the person who accepted various criticisms and placed him in the lab himself?
If the conditions were available and it was a short schedule of about 2 days and 1 night it was right to accept.
“I didn’t know there were conferences of this type taking place outside of major cities.”
To ease his motion sickness Lennoch changed the subject.
It seemed better to continue the conversation about something rather than just staring at the distant scenery at our feet.
“It is an academic conference that is held irregularly and does not have an official schedule.”
Aris answered calmly.
“We are going this far because we are not just presenting theories but also considering practical verification.”
“okay….”

Doesn’t this mean that he is going on a business trip like this because he is heading to a place where there is even a demonstration site where magic can be used?
I decided to take it easy.
Anyway even if she goes to the conference Lennok’s job will be to assist her.
It doesn’t take that long so it’s best to think of it as just going out to cool off for a while.
“Anyway why don’t you show it to me sometime?”
“yes?”
In response to Lennok’s question Aris spoke with her blue eyes sparkling.
“You said you couldn’t go to college because of your personal achievements. “I think I deserve to hear that story don’t you think?”
“Yeah… that’s true.”
I made various excuses for not being able to go to college but it seems like I remembered exactly what Lennok had said.
“Lenok this is the first time you’ve said those words and to be honest I’m looking forward to it too. “Have you come with a new theory that might surprise me?”
“……..”
Lennok thought for a moment and then made a quick decision.
This moment of not seeing each other for a while was an opportunity to reveal a little more of the secret that Lennok had been hiding.
“Don’t be surprised.”
“Don’t be surprised? “If Lennok knew what strange experiences I’ve had since learning magic…”
Aris laughed as if it was fun but at the same time Lennok lifted up a pure white sphere in his hand his mouth opened wide.
When a small fox cub emerged from within the sphere wiggling its front paws its expression was one that Lennok had never seen before.
“……..”
Lennok said as he stroked Dabi’s head his tail wagging.
“Actually I was able to summon this guy at the same time as I awakened my magic power.”
Dabi glanced up at Aris settled down on Lennok’s lap and bent his front paws.
After realizing that she was not just an artificial intelligence she didn’t like talking as much as she thought.
Are one’s own tendencies being determined in the process of establishing one’s self? Since he had no intention of trying to make adjustments hastily Lennok did not pay much attention to it.
Lennok blurted out a lie as he looked at Aris who had frozen with her mouth open in a daze.
“As I continued to study elemental magic a very powerful inspiration came to me. “With that I realized that I had awakened my magical powers.”
There was no answer.
Aris was looking down blankly unable to take her eyes off Dabi having lost all the leisure she had had before.
If I had simply awakened my magic power I wouldn’t have been so surprised.
Perhaps Aris was also looking forward to it when she heard that it was a personal achievement.
However the fact that Lennok had awakened and summoned a spirit and boarded this train without her even noticing it seemed quite a shock to her.
It wasn’t until a considerable amount of time passed that Aris came to her senses.
“Uh… first of all congratulations. “I’m so shocked I don’t know what to say.”
“Thank you.”
Aris scratched her cheek in silence at Lennok’s words.
Her face was unusually bright.
“You have no shame. “It’s my fault.”

“yes?”
“When we first met I saw that you were interested in this field and urged me to give up but I was wrong. Who would have thought that in just one year I would awaken my magic power and summon a spirit…”
Aris said with a clearly intimidated look on her face.
“I almost buried Lennok’s talent through my mistake. “In fact I couldn’t be of any help.”
“……”
Now that I think about it I remember that on the second day I met her at the library Lennok was looking through materials on summoning magic and elemental magic.
At that time Aris called Lennok over and the relationship that began continues to this day.
Do you think that if it weren’t for her Lennok would have awakened his spirit faster than now?
It seems that there has been a needless misunderstanding.
If Lennok had not gained knowledge about necromancy and artificial intelligence through this incident creating a spirit would have been impossible.
There was absolutely no reason for Aris to feel guilty after seeing the spirit.
Lennok who was looking at her with a clouded expression and slightly lowered head opened his mouth.
It wouldn’t be of much use if I offered consolation while stuck here.
So Lennoch took a completely different approach.
“Dabi get on top.”
[……]
The fox shook his body as if he was annoyed but did not reject Lennok’s words.
When Dabi who was sitting on her lap jumped up and climbed on top of Aris’ head her eyes widened.
Dabi lay down comfortably on top of her bright golden hair.
“Uh uh….”
Aris was stiff and struggling not knowing what to do.
Lennok looked at her and said to her.
“Isn’t it lighter than you thought?”
“…..yes?”
“Wouldn’t it be okay to overlook the matter of spirit talent so lightly?”
Even though Lennok thought about it it was bullshit that didn’t make any sense but isn’t that true of all human emotions?
Moreover if you want to relieve the mood of a wizard who is called the embodiment of reason ordinary logic will not work.
She who had been dazed after hearing Lennok’s words finally burst out laughing.
“……What is it?”
“What’s important about the process?”
“Is that so?”
Aris then grabbed Dabi’s body that was on top of his head and slowly put him down.
“But it’s not my taste.”
“……..”
It was a sharp answer. It seems that the standards for cuteness are higher than expected.
Dabi shook his head as if he didn’t like it then went back into Lennok’s arms and curled up.
After clearly recognizing his own intellect Dabi spent more time thinking alone.
The conflict between the intelligence that goes beyond artificial intelligence tools and the way of thinking based on existing algorithms is causing confusion.
Aris also gazed at Dabi with interest perhaps sensing traces of high intelligence in Dabi’s answer.
“This group is quite intelligent among spirits as it is capable of specifying a subject and having a clear conversation.”
“My child may not have a good personality but he is rather smart.”
“Well I can only say that it definitely resembles its owner.”
“……”
Aris seeing Lennok’s shocked expression burst into laughter.
