Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 115



Society (3)

A soft silence fell upon the resolute declaration.

Aris calmly received the focused attention from those around her and spoke slowly again.

“I hope others will keep this in mind as well. “If you touch my researcher I will never remain silent.”

Everyone looked on in bewilderment as Aris swept forward sweeping her rich blonde hair to one side.

No one could disagree with that confident and beautiful attitude and they just quietly got out of the way.

Lennok scratched his cheek as he walked behind her.

In a world full of thorough transactions and interests Lennok is confident that he can manage human relationships more neatly than anyone else.

It was not difficult to return what was received and receive a clear payment without incurring any loss.

But how should we respond to unrequited favor and unrequited trust?

How long can this strange relationship in which one side unilaterally benefits and the other side pays no attention continue?

If a situation arises where he has to answer about this moment later how should Lennoch respond?

It was something unknown.

But at least I have to repay the trust that Aris has given me.

Before passing by Byla Lennok whispered softly in her ear.

“There are not many ways to treat magical power disconnection.”

“……What did you just say?”

“Purple bruises forming under the uvula and magical energy pooling in the back of the head and not moving properly. The left small finger becomes congested and swells and the fingernails begin to become abnormally hard making it difficult to cut. A slightly unbalanced gait… Isn’t this proof that the imbalance in magical power is starting to affect bodily functions?”

“……..”

I didn’t know that I would be able to put to use the results of persistently delving into theory with Aris here.

In reality she was only able to see through the flow of magic in Vaila’s body and infer the corresponding physical abnormality but it is clear what Lennok would look like from her perspective.

At least while he was a researcher at Aris Lennok intended to stand out only in areas strictly related to theory.

And to this extent it will go a long way in shutting Vaila up and turning her relationship with Aris around.

Leaving behind her frozen expression Lennok immediately took a step forward.

Will Vaila put aside her pride and come to Lennok for advice?

Or will it stop at the point where there are no more arguments against this side?

It’s not a big loss to be able to incur debt to a renowned research institute director due to health issues.

Either way it was clear that it would not be a bad choice for Lennok.

The demonstration site was not far away.

“This is…”

“This is a location chosen to demonstrate battlefield control techniques. “Is there anything that bothers you?”

“….no.”

Lennok vaguely responded to Aris’ question but his gaze quickly found Archwood.

Coincidentally he too was thinking the same thing when he saw this place and made direct eye contact with Lennok.

“……”

It was only natural that the corner of his mouth which was maintaining a smiling expression cracked slightly.

Lennok laughed as he looked at Archwood who was sweating coldly and looking away.

It’s a strange coincidence.

This forest which was selected as the conference’s demonstration site was the same place where Lennok knocked Archwood unconscious yesterday.

Is it because it was a suitable place to test the power of a magic trick since it was not a problem to change the terrain to your heart’s content given that there were dead trees there?

It didn’t seem strange that the blood he had coughed up was still there somewhere.

[Then let’s get straight to the demonstration of the technique. Everyone here is probably very busy so we aim to check just one thing.]

As soon as the young man in the gown standing at the front of the group raised his hand his clear tone rang out far away.

[Didn’t we have discussions all night long about the concept of occupying a specific area of ​​the battlefield and increasing the power of the technique? But anyway there is only one important thing. What is important is how much amplification power the spell has.]

[Everyone has agreed that there will be no progress in this area unless we demonstrate its effectiveness several times. Long story short what would you say? Let’s start right away.]

As soon as the young man finished speaking others quickly came out to the front of the field behind him and started fiddling with various tools.

Looking at the direction of the magical power moving from afar it seems that the goal is to set up a training camp using specific equipment and mass-produce it…

‘It doesn’t seem efficient.’

If they were really developing this artillery for use in the war against the Dominion they were going in the wrong direction from the start.

Even the magnetic field used by Lennok and Craig feels difficult to use due to its characteristics as an environment construction expert compared to its overwhelming efficiency. How on earth can this be used efficiently in a battlefield that changes all the time?

A thoroughly organized battlefield.

I don’t think it will have much of an effect unless it’s a stadium where everyone honestly fires magic bombs at each other.

Or do the wizards gathered here have something different in mind?

While I was lost in thought the demonstration began.

Those who appear to be the young man’s attendants set up a drinking camp and enter it to raise their magical power.

Woooo!!

Each of them chanted with a beastman and all at once extended their magic towards the dead forest.

It’s a somewhat unfamiliar sight to Lennok but that’s probably how other ordinary wizards use magic.

The moment when three streams of flame emitted from the hands of three people passed through the area where the drinking party was held.

Quaaaaaaa!!

As the flame expanded explosively it completely burned down the dry trees.

“……..”

The power of magic is powerful but the amplification rate is significant.

Enough to overturn Lennok’s opinion which had been skeptical just a moment ago in one go.

Other wizards standing around were also surprised and started hearing whispers here and there.

[Did you see it! It exceeded my expectations!! We will continue the demonstration!!]

While Aris was listening to the young man’s voice trembling with excitement he turned his head.

“This is strange.”

“What do you mean….”

“It is far exceeding the amplification rate that was expected at yesterday’s conference. “At this rate there’s no way the organizers wouldn’t have talked about it…”

As she said that she frowned slightly and looked around.

“I think it was a trick.”

Instead of answering that question Lennok looked at the face of the young man who was shouting in excitement in front of him.

Their faces look as if they are about to fly away with joy as if the benefits gained as a result of this conference’s demonstration are significant.

If the results of the demonstration were a trick I think I would have managed my facial expressions a little more politely than that.

Now the young man seemed unable to even enjoy the sudden miracle.

Lennok looked closely at the location of the area where the wizards were pouring magic for a while then realized something and sighed.

“……ah.”

The location where the wizards had set up the battlefield control team overlapped with the area where Lennok had spread his territory yesterday.

Due to the nature of the magnetic field that dominates the entire space the magic power used was bound to be deeply ingrained in the surrounding area so the liquor camp was installed exactly there.

Even now they could feel the magic left behind by Lennok seeping into their feet.

“ha…..”

I sighed and dissipated all my remaining magical power.

Whoa…..

“What?”

“The magic suddenly….”

The fire that had been burning brightly just moments ago died out in an instant.

The panicked wizards desperately waved their hands but the same amplification as before did not happen again.

[Now please wait a moment. It looks like there was a brief setback in the demonstration but it will be resolved quickly.]

The young man said that and quickly urged his attendants but in the end there was no miracle for over 10 minutes.

A young man with a miserable expression. As much as we rejoice at unexpected results we also experience great frustration and despair.

[This can’t be happening… It was definitely before…]

Aris stared at them quietly and then turned his back.

“Let’s go Evan. “It’s a waste of time.”

“All right.”

[Please wait!!]

The young man tried his best to somehow catch the magicians who turned away but no one was unaware that the meaning of the gathering had disappeared.

Lennok glanced around and was satisfied that no one had noticed what he had done.

As far as magic manipulation abilities were concerned Lennok’s skills were already turning into something beyond recognition.

Except that Archwood who was walking right behind him was looking at him like he was looking at a monster.

“……..”

The relaxed smile that appeared when she first got off the train was replaced by a completely haggard complexion and she was busy looking at Lennok.

It’s not like he just realized that Lennok had manipulated his magic but he wasn’t stupid enough to not know that this was related to Lennok.

Instead of opening his mouth Lennok smiled faintly while looking at him.

“…..!!”

Archwood flinches and avoids gaze.

You probably can’t even guess what level of wizard Lennok is or why he can do something like this.

There’s nothing you can do other than tremble with anxiety and keep your mouth shut.

That was all Lennok wanted.
